An Unpleasant Predicament.

A German named Suitz, living at
Cherry Valley, has placed himself in a
rather remarkable predicament. His
wife has long been an invalid, and few
days ago, thinking that she was dying,
she insisted that her husband should
comply with her oft-repeated request to
make her sister his second wife.
Nothing would suit Mrs. Suitz but to
have the marriage occur before she
closed her eyes in death. The ceremony
was accordingly performed, a neighbor-
ing Justice of the Peace officiating, and,
strange to say, Mrs. Suitz No. 1 has
rallied and is rapidly growing stronger,
and probably will get well. Mr.. Suitz
is anxious to know how he can read his
title clear.-Utica N. " Herald.

ACCORDING to the Cearense, of Ceara,
Brazil, the famine in that part of the
Empire continues uabated. The state
of the population of Aracaty is simply
horrible. Over $4,000 persons dying
with hunger are there collected, living
in the greatest misery, and it is feared
that the death rate, which now amounts
to 60 or 20 persons per day, will increase
with frightful rapidity. The famine has
spread into the neighboring province OF
Plaucay, and the starving population
are leaving the country in large num-
bers.

THE only daughter of Col. Sir Angus
tine Fitzgerald, Bart, was drowned in
England the other day at Midtown Mol
bay. Miss Fitzgerald and Mrs. Stud
dert, while sitting upon ledge of rocks
running out to sea, were surrounded by
the incoming tide. While endeavoring
to reach the shore, holding by each 9th
er, Miss Fitzgerald, who had lost all
presence of mind, slipped and fell in,
bringing the other lady with her. Two
officers of the coast-guard station jump
ed into the water and succeeded in res
cuing both ladies, but Miss Fitzgerald
succumbed to the shock. She had only
attained her twentieth year.

of, as now, flowing into the Golfers of

ultimately receive the advantages of the
present compulsory insurance of reli-

Long Ago.

He gave me his promise of changless truth,
Down in the wood where the ivy clings);
And the air breathed rapture, and love, and
youth,
<And yon tree was in bud where the throstle
sings).
He said he was going across the sea,
Gar from the wood where the ivy clings)
And would bring back riches and jewels for
me,
(But brown leaves shake where the throstle
sings).
Hope made life like summer morn;
Sweet was the wood where the ivy clings)
Now my heart is cold and withered and worn,
(And the bough is bare where the throstle
sings).
Days are dreary, and life is long:
Get down in the wood the ivy clings),
And the winds they moan desolate song,
tAnd there's snow on the bough where no
throstle sings)-
Spring will come with It's buds and leaves
(Back to the woods where the ivy clings);
But tbs winter cold for the heart that grieves,
tAnd hear no. the song that the throstle
sings).

An Antidote which will cure every varie-

free from minerals or other deleterious ma
terials, it accomplishes its work without be-
ing i'm the least harmful to the system. En-

all the poisonous miasm or malaria, and
thus accomplishes q sure cure.

Two farmers had a lawsuit in Que
bee about a barrel of apples worth
50 .25, the costs of which amounted to
81, 700, and will amount to still more in
the end, the case having been carried to
the Court of Appeals. The party who
wins the apples will find the fruit of his
victory rotten, it is to be feared. unless
they have encountered an apple-eating
court as well as an appellate court.
