Too MANY WIvEs-There was
scene in the District Attorneys Office,
in New York, on the 18th inst, when
an officer appeared with Adolph Hoff-
man alias Eckstein, alias Hipsman,
middle-ageJ man. lie was met there
by six women, who claimed that they
were bis wives, and confronted him and
scolded him unsparingly. Then, when
comparative quiet had been secured by
the officers, two of the wives, Antonio
George Hoffman aud Fanny Eckstein,
made affidavits that he had married
them-the former on June 18th and
the latter on the 26th ult. A pretty
young girl who accompanied the wives
said she was engaged to be married to
Hoffman next month and that she had
given him many presents. Hoffman
pleaded guilty to having Is wives in
various places, and was committed to
the Tombs. 1t appears in selecting bis
wives the accused chose widows who
had little money and cheated them
out of it as quickly a. possible.

A CoLoRED WOMAN TURNING WHITE.

A CoLoRED WOMAN TURNING WHITE.
"A physiological phenomenon that is
pulling the doctors has just been dis
covered in this city by one of the dis
,r;ct physicians. 1t is nothing LEGS than
a colored woman turning white. Luella
Smith, aged 80 years, who is living at
No 60 Gano alley, is lot a mulatto.
She's as black as your hat-in the face
but her body is gradually beginning
to turn white as any Caucasian. This
changing process began about five years
ago, and now her body is fully two
fifths white; on her breast there is q
white spot about eight inches long and
six inches wide. Her limbs, too, present
the same singular appearance, and ifthe
change keeps on she will in few years
be as white as anybody. At present
she is being treated for consumption.
The only white spots about her face are
directly behind either ear and inside the
ears. The doctors call this transforma-
tion "absorp,ion of pigment" but, what
ever it is, it is extraordinary, and will
elicit a good deal of attention from the
medical profession.-CGncinnati En-

CHRIsT's. SECOND CoMING.-A New
York paper on Tuesday says:
There was last evening a well attend
ed meeting, both of laymen and minis
tiers of all Protestant denominations, in
the Chapel OF the Church of the Holy
Trinity to make preparations for the
great conference TO lie opeued in this
city next month to discuss the question
of the second coming of Christ.
The Rev. Dr. Stephen II. Tying, Jr.,
presided. Tue meeting was opened
with prayer, and the hymn "When
Jesus Comes Then, at the sugges.
ton of the Chairman, most of those
present repeated scriptural text reterr-
ing to the expected coming of Christ.
The call for this meeting Is sigDed by
more than two hundred of the most
popular clergymen and ministers.
The Rev. Drs. Stephen III. Tying, Jr.,
and J. d. Herr, and the Rev. DR.. Gil
lsspie were appointed to nominate sul'-
committees of arrangements, and, before
closing, DR.. Tying, in reply to ones
ton, said he was firmly convinced that
the Lord Jesus Christ would vertically
come again to this world TO take His
Church aud establish His Kingdom
upon earth.

Extra Liability to MaIarial In
fectiOn.

Persons whose blood is thin, digestion
weak and liver sluggish, are extra-liable
to the attacks of malarial disease. The
most trifling exposure may, under such
conditions, infect a system which, if
healthy, would resist the miasmatic faint.
The only way to secure immunity from
malaria in localities where it is prevalent,
is to tone and regulate the system by inn
proving weakened digestion, enriching
the blood, and givinga wholesome impe-
tus to hillary secretion. These results are
accomplished by nothing so effectively rs
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which long
experience has proved to be the most re-
liable safeguard against fever and ague
and kindred disorders, as well rs the best
remedy for them. The Bitters are, more
over IAN excellent invigorant of the organs
of urination, and OH active depurent, eli
minating from the blood those acrid i'm
purities which originate rheumatic all
ments.

THE DUTY OF CHURCH MEM
BERS.

1t has always been mystery to me,
says one of the professors of religion,
how the mass of Christians can sit in
idleness when there is so much to do.
Yes, so much of the responsibility rests
on the membership of the church. All
that any church wants to make it pros
porous is to have church going peo-
pie; it makes no real difference whether
they take an active part or not, so they
are there Brethren, it all rests with
us; all you can do is just what is re-
quired, and l will say just here if We
neglect our church duties God will neg
lect us. Only stay away from the Sab
hath School and let the church take
care of itself for one year-then you can
see what will be the result. / think
you who have been reared in Chris
tian land know the result. So let us
consider the importance of being active
in this glorious cause, for the young are
depending upon US for their knowledge
of the truth. Brethren, let US consider
what will become OF the tender plant;
if we are faithful in the discharge of our
duty in imparting the knowledge, then
we can look with thankful heart and
see the fruits of our labor; but OH the
other hand, our labor will be in vain,
not only in losing the prize ourselves,
but we will take those prizes who have
been intrusted to our care with US.
Oh what sad thought it will be 10
tall into the hands of the living God
with such recommendation of our
Christian labors. speak or write this
to your shame, you who have made the
VOW that you would do all in your pow
er to teach the young and to lead them
TO the green pastures and the river of
life-have as much as said, 60 and find
pasture, not caring whether the wolves
will destroy them or not. Who was it
that kept them from the many sins aud
lusts of this world but our parents, to
great measure. Surely we acknowledge
our safety to God, but the entreaties of
our parents kept us from many snare,
and for us to sit and fold our hands and
let the young run at large, will in some
future day come home to US; then will
come the sad news, we did not do our
duty to our God, our Church and our
children. Now, as we have time aud
opportunity, let US use it to the glory OF
God and to the welfare of our children
then we can expect the blessing of
God upon us and the church, and whilst
at our homes, around the family altar,
pray God to keep US faithful Christians

A PLEASANT GHosT SToRY-SUPpos-
ED VIsIr OF DEAD MOTHER TO HER
CBII.D.-A rather queer story is told
and can be vouched for by over dozen
persons in Springfield. 1t appears about
three years ago young man living in
Summit got married, and in due time
his wife gave birth to a child, which
was girl. When the child was about
one year old its mother died.
About FIVE months later the young
widower became lonely and took unto
himself another wife. But before doing
so he took all of bis first wife's clothing,
packed it in a trunk, locked it up, and
allowed no one TO have charge Of the
key but himself. Among the clothing
put away were her wedding shawl and
pillow his wife had made for her first
born, and also some toys she had bought
just before she died. Then he brought
home wife No. 2, who, it is said, made
as good mother as the average step
mothers do.
Things went on lively till one night
last week, when there was a party at
the next neighbours honse. So after
putting the babe in its little bed, the
father and mother No. 2 went over to
spend the evening at the party. Short
ly after they left, two men came along
on their way to the party also. They
saw a wonderful light in the house as
though it might be on fire. They also
heard the cries of the babe as though in
great pain. They went to the house,
and as soon as they reached the door
the light went out and all was as silent
as the grave within.
They fastened on to the house where
the party was and told the man what
they had seen and heard in his house as
they came by. Five or six men, includ-
ing the owner of the house, started to
investigate the report. When they ar
rived they found every door and win
dow fast as they were when the owner
left. On going inside everything was
found to be in it's place, except the child,
which, after long search, was found
up stairs upon the bed on which it's
mother died, covered up with its moth
er's wedding shawl and it's little head
resting on the pillow its mother made
for it, sound asleep. Alongside of it
lay its little playthings.
On examining the trunk it was found
to be locked and nothing missing except
the aforementioned articles. Now,
how the things got ont of the trunk
and the key in the owners pocket and
he half mile from it, and how the
child got up stairs is a mystery. The
above may sound little dime novelish,
but, as we said before, the facts in the
case can be and are vouched for by over
dozen reliable citizens of Springfield.
