ENoCH ARDEN oUTDoNE.-Pars, which fur nishes from real life so many plots for novels and dramas, now sends us a story which, if true, makes Enoch Arden quite an ordinary hero. A few weeks ago there appeared in a Paris newspaper an advertisement saying :; ''A widow, young and good looking, mother of four children, without fortune, desires to marry wealthy and honorable man. Address B. R." Penniless widows with four children are not generally sought after with much zeal in the matrimonial market, but this advertise ment brought three answers. These went, however, not into the hands of the ''widow, young and good looking" but into the hands of her husband. In fact the lady in question was not yet widow at all, and the advertise ment did not come from her. Her husband, after a struggle such as many men have made in recent years, despaired of being able to SUD- port his family. He therefore decided on a plan to save them from want When the an- swers to his advertisement were received he investigated them carefully and assured him. self that one of them came from man whose intentions were honorable and whose world yl goods were abundant. He finished his work by putting this gentleman in the way of communicating with his wife, and then he made her widow by drowning himself
 Of the result the report says that the man whose answer to the advertisement was approved, learning the true state of the case, took charge of the education of the children Whether wedding will follow we are not in- formed.

Obituary.
JOIN H. WEIGH.

The pen almost fails to perform it's sad duty in recording the death of John H. Welch, and we feel more like laying it aside and giv- ing way to tears than to chronicle that which has already sent pang of sorrow to many a heart on Lake Superior. It makes one stop and think, again; but still the painful reality pre- sents itself that he is gone forever. Although not at all unexpected, it is just as hard to real ize. The sad news reached this city in We'd nesday afternoons mail. He was taken sick about three months ago, and though not seri- ous at tbat time, grew rapidly worse until it was evident that his recovery was doubtful, when, in the hope that change of air would save him, he was sent east. He left two weeks
 ago to-day, accompanied by Capt. W. E. Dickinson and besides leaving in good spirits, he seemed to revive as he neared his destina- ton. But it was only the last flicker of flame soon to be extinguished, and he expired shortly after arriving at Litchfeld. In him Ishpeming loses man whose like we hardly hope to see again. Strict and upright in every business transaction, kind and generous to all, and with a heart of enormous size, he won the esteem and regard of all who knew him. Never was there more jovial and whole souled man. Overfowing with genuine wit, he was the soul of every social gathering that could secure his presence and the man must have been a merose person indeed who could resist his quaint witicisms. His sayings will be remem- bered in Ishpeming as long as the present gen. eration appreciates real wit. Mir. Welch was ali old resident of Lake Superior He came to the Upper Peninsula in 1853, and lived in various places on the lake ever since but chiefly at Ontonagon, Eagle River, Houghton and Ish- peming. He had been in the employ of F. Austin & Co., during the last years, up to the time of being taken i'll. He was Royal Arch Mason and memper of the lodge of Knights Pythias of this city. He was also member of the fire department, and last Thursday the flag at the engine house hoated at half mast and was draped in mourning inmemory of him. -Maryuelle (I1ich.) Mjning Journal.
