Senator Thurman, while addressing a
large meeting at Belaire, o., Monday
night, was taken suddenly ill, and was
conveyed in a carriage to his hotel, where
he is now lying in helpless condition.
His illness, which is not considered dan
gerous, is the result of overwork..
The continued warm weather has been
very unfavOrable in the yellow fever in
fected districts, and hence an increase in
the spread of the disease is reported. At
New Orleans to noon yesterday there
were 50 deaths and 367 new cases. In
Memphis, yesterday, so deaths had occur
red during twenty-four hours, and the fe-
yer was spreading. The rural towns and
villages were suffering terribly.

pointed Daniel W. Wilson, of Ohio, to be

Near Akron, O., Monday night, two
policemen went to an old forge to arrest
tramp on suspicion of being concerned in
the Orrville postofiice robbery. They
were met by a gang of thirty trar1ps, who
chased them 10 the city at the point of
their revolvers. Great excitement pre-
vailed in Akron, and at the instance of
the mayor company of volunteer troops
went to the assistance of the police and
captured eighteen of the tramps, the re-
mainder escaping. Several shots were
fired without serious results.
The effect of the reduction of five per

One director is understood to be debtor

Endless Gold.


Brown always declared that he would
marry an heiress, but being next door to
penniless himself, his friends didn't quite
believe him, though he had never been
known to to tell an untI1ith. One eyen-
ing at political meeting he made the
acquaintance of great cotton lord, Sir
Calico Twill ,and happening to say''IIear,
hear1 in the right place several times
whilst Sir Calico was speaking, the old
gentleman took fancy to him, and asked
him home to supper. There he met his
hosts daughters, charming young lady
with eight thousand a year, fell desperate
ly in love with her, popping the question
in the conservatory, and was referred to
her papa.
before take the matter into consid-
eration," said Sir Calico, when Brown
had stated the case, ''you must answer
me one question What is your for
tune
Well, don't exactly know" answered
Brown, being uncertain whether that
was three penny ora four penny under
his tobacco jar at home; but let your
daughter become my wife, and l promise
she shall have endless gold.."
Endless gold is rather an exaggera-
ton, eh?" remarked Sir Calico.
Scarcely, in my case" said Brown,
''as extravagant as we mightbe we should
never be able DO get through it9"
"Are you telling me the truth?"
''The truth, i swow."
"Then take her, my boy" SAID Sir
Calico, grasping Browns hand, "and
happy 1 am that my child has been saved
from the clutches Of rogues and fortune
hunters"
Well, they were married, and Brown
made the money fly at such q rate that
when his wife's milliner's bill came in
he was obliged to confess himself stump
ed. Mrs. IL. Immediately sent for her
papa.
"What's this 2" said Sir Calico,
stumped. "What do you mean, sir p
Where's the endless gold you promised,
eh 2"
"pve kept my PROMISE" answered
Brown.
"Kept your promise, and can't find
the money to pay paltry mifiner's bill.
Why-you-yOu-"
"Calm yourself, old boy" Interrupted
Brown. II promised to gve your
daughter endless gold, which both Of us,
be as extravagant as we might, should

eyes, and you"
Don't tinster yourself now. I've kept
my promise"
"How?"
"Why, gave her wedding ring
that's endless GOLD, isn't it? And my
dear" added Brewn, turning to his wife,
edo you think that both of us could ever
get through anything which only just
fits one of those taper fingers 2"
Sir Calico looked as If he was going
to have fit, but a timely remark of his
daughters .probably averted the catas-
tropbe.
"Well, papa" she said; "there's still
one thing in our favor. No one caa say
that Ive got fool for husband"
So the storm hlew over, and now
Brown and his wife, though they have
to manage on eight thousand a year, are
the happiest couple in the two heIni-
spheres.

What Will be Done at Augusta ?

There Will be lively times at Augusta
this winter The Legislature is decidedly
mixed, being composed Of Republicans,
straight and crooked Democrats, and
Greenbackers, and its organization is
likely to consume some time and require
q good deal of wire pulling. The at
tempt to prove fraud in Portland having
failed, the character of the House is now
settled, and the Grecnbacliers and Dem
ocrats, if they unite, which is 10y no
means certain, have a sufficient majority
to elect the Executive Council, Secretary
Of State, Treasurer, Attorney General
and Adiutant General, Who are chosen
by Joint ballot. The Boston Herald says
''the men from whom the next Speaker
Of the Maine House will be selected" are
