A Spirit Bride.

No event of the season has attracted
more attention than the marriage of Mr..
G.. a. Stillman of this world to Miss Alice
Roberts of the other-the spiritual world.
This ceremony, solemnly performed by
Rev. Samuel Watson over the natural
body of Stillman and the materialized
form of Miss Roberts, was, to the public,
an entirely new phase of Spiritualism.
While the city was painting for more
knowledge on this point, the Aualanche
representative, armed with his pencil and
determination to show the utmost respect
for these great mysteries lying so far be-
yond his ken, Issued forth to learn some
thing more Of the great matter ofspirituo-
carnal intermarriage.
He met one of the faithful who was
present at the ceremony. To this gentle
man our reporter is indebted for con-
1rmation of the story before published
You were present, sir? ?"
q was"
Where did the ceremony take place ?'
cat the residence of Mr.. Watson. Did
you ever see his cabinet?"
The reporter had not.
"There, sir, is where the wonder of
the matter comes in. 1t is shut off in a
corner by a curtain, leaving about suffl-
cient room for one person to turn around
comfortably in. The walls behind are of
solid brick masonry. Out OF this small
space the materialized spirits come, about
a dozen in number.
1.-The bride was to have married Tom
Moore, had she not died, l believe. Was
it Tom Moore. the poet! We don't know
what Tom Moore she referred to, but she
was pretty enough to be any ones bride.
She was the most beautiful thing I ever
saw
Had negotiations for the marriage be-
tween the spirit bride and Stillman been
arranged beforehand?''
ooh, yes, for some time. Two or three
times before had the preparations for the
ceremony been made, but the bride had
not until this evening acquired sufficient
power to remain out long enough to 90
through the ceremony. She spoke only
in whisper, but her voice grows stronger
each time she appears"
"What sort of marriage ceremony
was used 90
/" 1t didn't differ much, l think, from
the ordinary religious marriage cere-
mony."
Nov, is this marriage to hold in the
spirit world 90
ooh, certainly; she was very much in
earnest about 1t.
"Does it debar Stillman from marryin G
now on earth?''
q think he so understands it. 1 do"
This gentleman then said there was a
subdued lamp-light in the room at the
time, and that fully nine materialized
spirits appeared. The company present
was composed of about a dozen persons,
and Mrs. Miller was the medium. On
the same evening this gentleman had his
little child baptized by the spirit of a de-
ceased Episcopal clergyman, who came
out from the cabinet in his robes of office,
and, taking the babe in his arms, per-
formed the baptismal ordinance
People who haven't learned the BIC
| of the philosophy of Spiritualism, I'm
aware, can't understand and will ridicule
this, but to me it is all matter of knowl-
edge-of fact" said the gentleman

A Case OF Spontaneous Combustion.

a most horrible and sickening death
occurred in Kernan's saloon, in the back
ward of the City Hall, at 1915 O'Clock
this morning, being no less than the spon-
taneous combustion of a human body.
The victim was man who has not been
more than a month in the city, but during
that time had been frequently arrested for
drunkenness He wandered about alone,
seemingly demented, occupying his whole
time in drinking the vile poison of the
city front and Barbary Coast dens. He
has twice been treated by DR.. Stivers for
delirium tremens, and was this morning
discharged after longer time than usual.
With a seemingly insane desire for drink,
he continued from Z 80 O'Clock drinking
steadily at the various bars in the vicinity,
and the large size of each potation prom
ised to speedily send him back to the
hospital.
About the time mentioned he staggered
into the DOM nearly inseDsible, and fee
blv asked for drink. This was refused
him, and he staggered toward the gas-jet
to light the stump Of cigar he carried,
while the barkeeper turned away to attend
to his duties. a moment afterward he
heard low moan and noticed flash of
fire, and turning around he saw Harley
falling to the floor, his head enveloped in
black, thick smoke, while flames issued
from his mouth and ears. A horrible
smell of burned flesh filed the air Not
a moment was lost in attending to the suf-
ferer. He was beyond relief, however.
His face was perfectly black, partly
charred and partly covered with a moist
soot. His eyes were open. His mouth
was completely roasted on the inside; but,
with the exception Of his head and hands,

The French Army.

The London Saturday Reuiear. speaking
of the French Army, says:
Now, in 1870 the utmost force that
could be put in line within a month
against the enemy was $50, 900 men, and
even this comparatively small army was
lnsutficlently provided with many reuuis-
ties for campaigning. Behind the Csc, 900
were about 10000 for reserves and garri-
sons. This year, according to the State
ment of the writer lin B5ackuo0d's Mrqa-
zt1e), three weeks only would elapse be-
fore 400, 900 men were in the field, hav-
ing behind them such mass of troops for
reserve, for camps and garrisons as would
raise the total of the active army to 1 300.
600 men; nor must it be forgotten that the
services of all these men would be really
available, because the lines of communi-
cation and other vulnerable points out of
reach of the enemy would be sufficiently
guarded by the men of the territorial
army, which, though not yet thoroughly
organized, would be quite capable of per-
forming such subordinate tasks.
:" 1t is true that good non-commissioned
officers are not easily to be found for the
reserves and for the territorial army nor
are the inducements of a military life suf
fcient to retain such men even in the reg
ular army after their legal term of service
is expired. But this is difficulty by no
means special to France Every CONT
mental army suffers from the same want.
The man who makes a good non commits
stoned officer will be good tradesman or
good clerk. and there are few indeed of
such in any Nation, IN comparisoR with

Dyspepsia and Long Life.

4 writer in the New York San, who
has undoubtedly experienced the feeling
produced by the disease, or he could moi
describe the effect so truthfully, says:
The dyspeptic, as a rule, is not mum.
bered among the happiest of men; and
there are good reasons why he should not
be. He has an abiding notion that some
thing is wrong somewhere in the universe,
maybe everywhere; though, like the man
who meets death suddenly, he often does
not exactly know what hurts him In
some extreme cases he doesn't much
care; only he would like to get rid of it.
whatever it may be.
There is well-founded American tradi-
ton that pie-baking and the frying-pan
have been fruitful sources of dyspeptic
woes, though there are many victims of
indigestion who have not fed upon pie
crust or fried meats, while there are
many people who have grown robust and
ruddy on this diet, or in spite of it. Ran
dolph, of Roanoke, who contributed to
the philosophy of dyspepia the cynical
theory that though the Lord had given us
the meats, the devil had sent the cooks,
only touched one part of the evil, for
there are more sufferers from ill-regulated
digestion among luxurious people, who
live upon the most nutritious and best
cooked food, than among those whom ex-
ercise and labor give hearty appetite
Tor whatever they can get to eat.
The late DIR. W. W. Hall, formerly ed
itor of the Journal Of Health, has written
very sensibly of this disorder in little
book just published in this city by R.
WorthiDgton. According to this writer,
nine out of every ten cases of dyspepsia
are caused, not by any defect of the di-
gestive organs, but by improper dieting
and insufficient exercise, mental or physi-
cal. People, whom disordered diges.
ton requires to pay attention to these
matters, frequently outlive by many years
their more robust neighbors. The author
cites the case of one poor dyspeptic pa
tIent IN whose case no less than sixty
three ailments were manifested, among
them fretfulness, nightmare and most
dismal of all, a sense Of goneness. This
was undoubtedly very bad case, for, in
spite of all that wealth could supply or
careful treatment do to remove the disor-
der, 1t remained undated, until finally
the offending article of diet was discov-
cred, and then recovery was rapid In
about months time the only trouble this
restored dyspeptic had to complain of
was that she could never get enough to
eat. With this instance before his ewes,
the most desperate dyspeptic may hope
to live cheerfully to ripe old age by
searching out the cause of his troubles
and resolutely applying himself to the
removal of it.
Or. Hall recommends the sufferer to
begin by eating little of one or two arti-
Giles of food at regular meals. If that
agrees with him, let him increase the
quantity; if not, he should try some
thing else. In this way the dyspeptic
will soon find out what agrees with him,
and what kinds of food he should avoid
After he has made these discoveries, it
will be his own fault if he continues a
dyspeptic. American

the immense masses of men now brought
under military control, who would not
prefer the comforts and liberty of civil life
to any advantages that can be offered to
soldiers in peace. The difficulty is one in
separable from large armies, and no means
have as yet been found powerful enough
to overcome it.
Again, the arrangements for mo6iliza-
ton leave something to be desired, and
the decentralization of stores-one of the
measures forced on the country by the ex-
perience of 1070-is not yet complete,
though gradually becoming so. We learn
from several sources that the French War
Office considers that two years more must
elapse before the army will be thoroughly
prepared for war, and nothing is more
certain than that France is, and will be
for some years, bound in heavy penalties
to keep the peace. But the question is
whether she has advanced so far in her
ornaments as to be formidable if placed

Master Your Business.

Whatever may be the causes that pre-
vent success in farming, in Individual in
stances, the advice to "make farming a
business - is no doubt excellent. Con
centration of effort, in any business, is the
one great secret of success. Most men
have the ability to make success of one
thing and but few possess more ability
than this. We can't all be Admiral
Crichtons. This prodigy, we are in
formed, undertook to become perfect in
everything and became perfect in every
thing he undertook" But he was simply
a prodigy-the phenomenon Of a century
and never has been held up as model
for imitation. With all his ability he did
not make life success, and the very best
thing the historian says of him is, ''he was
more worthy of admiration than respect. I"
Ever since man began to multiply upon
the earth, the tendency has been to
speciality in occupation. Robinson Crusoe,
alone upon his island, had to be his own
tailor, shoemaker, carpenter, cook and
housekeeper. But the necessity of repre-
senting all trades and professions in one
man ceases when that man becomes a
member of society. Here his wants are
increased, which correspondence increases
the industries that supply those wants.
Bit he hnds that the twenty different
things he CAN do clumsily, with great eff
fort and loss Of time, can be accomplished
speedily and well by twenty different per-
sons, each of whom has been trained to
specially.
The history of every successful man
who ever lived is but confirmation of
the g one-object" doctrine The unsuc-
cessful are those who, to use a trite say
ing, are " Jacks of all trades and masters
OF none" Masters of none" expresses
most emphatically the reason of failure
In these days of advanced ideas it is the
=" masters who win, and life is too short
for men to become masters of many
things, 1t is the men who can do one
thing well that are employed and paid,
and not those who can do many things
inditferently. This mastery skill that
captures the prize manifests its superior
ity in agriculture as in all other occupa-
tions, but it is only those who "make
farming business" and give it their
very best efforts, who possess this skill.
Many persons look upon agriculture as
contracted field, but there is ample room
in it for the exercise of all the ability one
man ever possessed. In the language of
a correspondent, whose thoughts we hope
all will read, it furnishes grander oppor-
tunities than can ever be found within the
four walls of the best business house in
the world. If the farmer occupies the
field, and improves these opportunities
he will have enough TO do in one short

be applied TO the infested trees, and the

Then there is another beetle which de-

usually attend to this last-named insect;
but it is to be feared that there are too

clearing our orchards of borers. The eggs
of the tent-worm may also be found at
tached to twigs at this season, and many
other noxious insects are rolled up in the
old leaves of last season. It is now time
to look at such things, and if every one
who has need of information on such sub
jects would look carefully and watch
closely the habits of every living creature
which may happen to come within his
neld of observation, past errors might in
part, at least, be rectified, our friends re-
stored to power, and our enemies banished
