CRAzED BY REMoRsE. - The Lafayette
lind. Courier records curious case of a
man rendered insane from remorse. About
two years ago Squire Brown, of Eugene
Vemillion County, lost pockethook con
tanning 1896 No clue to it was found until
a few days ago, when man named Norman
showed unmistakable signs of mental de-
rangement, and said that he had found the
money He also said that he had found $50
belonging to bible agent, who had can
vassed the town few months ago. Later
discoveries have proved his statements in
the main to be true, and it has also been
proven that he has gone crazy from no
other cause than remorse. The thought
that he had found the money, and had
never returned it to its owner, has SO preyed
upon his mind that he is now an inmate OF
an insane asylum. 1t was the duty of
Brown, the man who lost the money-being
justice of the peace-to send him to the
asylum.

Fighting a Whale.

A correspondent of the Raleigh o.
sfrrer, writing from Moorehead City,
coast of North Carolina, says: On
Tuesday there was the most exciting
whale fight that has ever occurred on
this coast. 1t was with some difficulty
that the Captain of the crew could get
his men to obey orders. When the first
bomb was fired into the whale it failed
to explode. This made the whale
furious, when at this instant he struck
one of the boats and knocked it some
feet above the water. The Captain then
fired another bomb; this failed of ex-
plosion; the fight was still getting more
furious. The third bomb was fired and
exploded near the heart. This conquer
ed the monster. The blood spouted
some ten feet high, and, as the crew
rushed up to stick their lances in him,
the blood fell in showers upon them and
their boats. The fight was witnessed by
another crew stationed about seven
miles above them. They looked on
with delight. only wishing they could
get into such a bloody contest. The
whale was AZ feet long and extremely
fat. This fish will probably bring about
5000.

Especial to the Chicago Tribune;
New YORK, March 20.-To-day there
took place privately at London one of
the most notable marriages of the gen.
Grafton, not yielding in interest TO the
recent espousals of the Premier noble of
England, the Duke of Norfolk, or even
10 those of the King of Spain. 1t was
that of the Earl of Rosebery and Miss
Hannah de Rothschild. A London dis
patch gives the following interesting ac-
count Of the splendid affair:
The ceremony was performed twice
first in civil form, at the Registers
Office, and then by an Episcopalian cler-
gyman, Canon Rogers, of Christ Church.
officiating. The trousseau, furnished
by Worth, was of the most magnificent
description. The bride wore the famous
Rosebery diamonds, including belt of
very large single stones, a spray of sap
phires in the hair, and at her 1hroat
wonderful sapphire, one of the largest
known to exist, which cost the bride
groom $4,000. All these were his gift
at the time of the formal betrothal in
January last. though it had been UNDER
stood thai she would marry him ever
since the death of the brides father.
The Prince of Wales and Lord Bea-
consfeld signed the register as wit
nesses. Miss Rothschild was accom-
panied 10 the altar, as bridesmaids, by
four children, two of them her own rel
atives and two being relations of Lord
Rosebery. The Earl was accompanied,
as his best man, by Hon. Harry T. Will
SON.
This is the first marriage that has
ever takn place between a Peer of Great
Britain and lady ola Jewish family.

100 miles distant, where the steamer
stays all night, changing horses on his
way; at Z 80 q. m. he walked aboard,

the cabin he goes, and in the dark
placed his hand on the book. As he
comes out of the cabin the Waterman
overhauls him to know the cause of his
strange actions, whereupon, with a

Waterman he is not a ghost. The
pocket-book possessed valuables to the

THIS is the kind of man that Cardinal
Prince Schwartzenberg, the chief officer
of the Vatican under the new Pope, is:
His charities are so unbounded that with
very liberal income he is often in personal
want; that his left hand may not know
what his right hand does, he keeps a
record of his charities in Hebrew. The
Cardinal Prince is said to be one of the
most learned as well as the most benevo-
lent men in Europe.
