Dead from Overstudy.
- 80

Gertrude |. Greenwood, the youngest
of family of six daughters, whose
father and mother died about the same
time year ago, died yesterday at No.
128 East Forty-fifth street, as physicians
say, of Inflammation of the brain brought
on by overstudy. She was student at
the Mt. Holyoke (Mass.) seminary for
three years. Leaving that institution
a year ago she took up the study Of nat
ural philosophy, astronomy and history,
examination for the position Of teacher
in one of the public schools. In May
last she was chosen from a number OF
candidates TO fill vacancy in One Hun
dyed and Forty-fifth street. While aeon
scientious teacher, she was at the same
time diligent student. Painting in water
colors was one of her amusements. Soon
after the beginning Of the summer vaca-
ton she went to Lake George with one OF
her sisters, intending to spend the sum-
mer there. She took her books and her
paints with her.
About three weeks ago she began to lose
control over the muscles of her right hand,
and at the same time her power Of articu-
lation was very much impaired. She was
attended by physicians at Lake George,
but apparently without any good effect,
and on Wednesday last her elder sister
decided to bring her home. She reached
the city Wednesday evening, and was
treated by DR.. Freligh, homeopathic
physician of East Twenty-fourth street,
and DIR. Clemence S. Lozier Of the
Woman's Medical college. Miss Green
wood became so violent that she had to
be tied. She seemed to try to speak to
those who were around her, but could dc
nothing but scream and throw herself
from side to side on the bed. She died
yesterday morning. She was twenty
years old.
TIE late Mrs. Peters, of Philadelphia,
has bequeathed to her nephew, Richard
Peters, "the box of the frigate Constitu.
ton and the Penn's Treaty Tree, and
the one from PENIS house on Letitia
street: also the locket with Chief JUS
tice Marshall's hair, given to his grand
father when reporter of the. Supreme
Court of the United States, by the sonf
of the Chief Justice; also the locke
with hair of Gen. Washington, and fhc1
simile of Marshall, given By the Chic
Justice to his father, N. Peters"

pharaoh and His Hosts In the Red Sea.

AFrench clergyman, the Able Meign,e,
appeals in Les Mondes to the whole

yations on the spot where the Egyptians
were swallowed up when attempting TO

Feminine Foolishness.

Aoncure ID. Conway writes from Pa
ris to the Cincinnati Commercial.
Some families that como over here
appear to be wild in their alteration OF
counts and countcsses, lords and ladies
with big IL. Even as write there is
poor American girl here who is crying
out her eyes because fate in the shape OF
an old French mama has forbidden her
son the pleasure of enjoying this unhap-
py girls fortune. She no sooner saw
the count than she was ready to throw
all her fathers money at his feet. and 50
were her father and mother; the count,
also, was willing TO accept the sweet
boon. But the old mother, widowed
countess, forbade the alliance; without
her consent the marriage could not be
solemnized in France, and If performed
in any other country the son would for
felt all inheritance, including title, so
far as the wife was concerned. In Paris
the young American girl would only have
been the counts mistress. Hence those
tears"
The foolishness Of American girls
the insane folly of being dubbed Lady
This and Lady That-will probably
never cease until their fathers and
mothers become possessed of little
more good. hard republican sense than
they now have. To sensible people
there is more than poetry in what Eli
Perkins says.
"A few years ago Allen Jerome's
daughter married Lord Churchill, and
jerome settled $4,000 a year on him to
bind the bargain. That is, he gave Lord
Churchill $4,000 year TO room and
travel with his daughter. Then Bennett
and Belmont got the youthful Lord
Vaudeville over here and filled him
with knickerbocker club wine, and he
was caught by the beautiful Miss Yznaga.
Then Miss Stevens mother gave Captain
Paget, the son of Lord Paget, 100000 to

A Western town has a mystery. "A
Young lady belonging to the family of an

ever, and sometimes more. too.-Norris-
