A Bride and a Corpse within Three

We have never had a more painful
duty to fulfil than that which we per-
form to-day in chronicling the death of
Mrs. WalpOIe, wife of our esteemed
friend and COnfrere, Mr. James NJ. Wal
pole. The simple notice which appears
in another part of this paper, announcing
Monnie NJ. Pritchard, of this city, at
half past five o'clock, and the death of
the bride at half past eight the same
evening, will tell the sad story. and
awaken the sOrrowing sympathy of many

fixed for the 18th of the present month
But few days ago, the future of these
two seemed bright with the promises of
a happy welded life, and their friends
looked forward with pleasure to the
event which was to celebrate the union
of two hearts already united in the most

PeGIi1iOn IH JULY
In anticipation of the next congress
apporpriating the $50, 900 recommended
by the cOmmitte on naval affairs of the
last congress, Capt. HOwgate, of the sig
nal service, Washington, proposes this
wear to send out a small vessel to the
northern seas about July l, under the
command Of Capt Tyson, of POlaris fame,
to gather together during the present
season EspuimauX, dogs, sledges and
clothing for the regular expedition,
which will start next spring, the supplies
so collected to Re transferred 20 the
regular vessel at Disco in August of 1873,
and the little one to return then to the
United States. This will insure good
material for the colony and prevent
delay. To do this without delay, money
to the amount of $4,000 or $4,000 must
be raised by subscription.
Capt. Tyson has made rough estimate
of the cost of this advance guard, which
amounts to $500. To this small eHpe-
dition a Whaling outfit is provided for.
| The object of this is to fill up proftably
| the otherwise unOccuDied time of the
crew, and it is believed that the catch OF

cost of the expedition, if only average

Journalistic Amenities.

The war correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune slipped on an orange peel while
walking down Clark street yesterday, and
was so injured by his fall that he was
unable to furnish a cable dispatch for
this morning paper.
The reporter who sends cable dispatches
to the Chicago Times from Turkey was
detailed to report dog fight at Bridge
port yesterday. As a consequence the
eastern war news OF the Times will be a
light crop in the mornings issue.
The rumors Of a possible peace between
Russia and Turkey seriously disturb the
war correspondent of the Inter Ocean.
This thing of sitting in Madison street
saloon and writing special cable dis
patches is the most comfortable situation
he has had. wants the war to proceed.

Farmers Look Out.

The st. Louis Republican thus calls
attention to a swindling game on the part
of lightning-rod men. 1t would be well
if all persons approached by travelling
agents were to take the advice contained
in the last part of this article: There
is the lightning rod trick practiced on
unsuspecting farmers in this state that
unsuspecting farmers, and others who
have not heard of it, would do well to
be on their guard against. The light
ning.rod agent or agents, for they some
times travel in pairs, tell their intended
victim that a rod is worth tifty-seven and
a half cents, or some such price, a foot
but as an experiment they will put up
one for him exclusively for five dollars,
and wait on him for the money. When
this attractive proposition is accepted,
the victim is made to sign a note or CON
tract which he supposes is an obligation
to pay s. in three or six months, but
which turns out to be a note for $40.
The rod is put up and the agents drive
of. but in a few days aflerward another
man M aleng with the farmers note
for $40, duly signed, and demands pay
ment. Ofcourse the victim is surprised
and bewildered, and Indignantly denies
that he ever signed such a note but
there is the memorable handwriting,
which binds him for the sum claimed.

GOnts for Niia.

In many hilly portions of Europe goats
are kept to a considerable extent tor
milk, and in some sections the milk is
largely manufactured into cheese, The
Toronto Globe says there seems to be set
ting in a fashion to keep goOts for their
milk in that section, and comments upon
it after this humorous style: Why not?
These sweet scented animals have a de-
cided advantage over the COW kind.
They are better foragers, and cost little
or nothing to keep. An ordinary garden
fence is nothing to an enterprising mem
Der of the Capra family, and they are not
at all particular in their choice of tender
plants. When young herbs or early let
tuce fail, there are many varieties OF
flowers and garden plants that serve for a
meal and when shut off from this deli
cate diet, a clean-washed Sunday shirt
can be disposed of with considerable
relish. And then their literary appetites
are amazing. They will discuss the merits
of the largest morning newspaper in two
minutes, by Shrewsbury clock, and di-
gest it too, for that matter. They are also
remarkably playful, and take especial
delight in butting the children for
pastime. But their browning glory is the
delicious odor they exhale, Lubin's
choicest extracts are nothing to it, for
when a goat is within forty yards of the
house one farcies himself wandering in
the groves of Araby. By all means, cul,
tivate the goat.

The Great Wall Of China.

Kalgan commands one of the passes
through the great wall of China. 1t is
there built of large stone, cemented tc-
gether with mortar. 1t tapers toward the
top, being twenty.one feet high and
twenty.eight feet wide at the foundation.
At the most important points, less than
a mile apart, square towers are erected,
built of bricks. 1t winds over the crest
of the mountains, crossing the valleys at
right angels, blocking them with iortiti-
cations. The Chinese estimate its length
to be about $500 miles, but in parts
more remote from Pek II the wall is of
interior construction. There is nothing
but a dilapidated mud rampant, as Col
onel P~rejevalsky saw it on the borders OF
ALASKAN and Kansu. 1t is said to have
been built upward of two centuries before
Christ to protect the empire against the
inroads of the neighboring Nomads, but
the periodical irruptions of the barbarians
we're never checked by this artificial bar
