An improbable Story.

While the atrocious theft of Stewards
body from st. Marks Churchyard is
still fresh in the peoples mind another
tragedy that startled the nation some
four years ago has until now remained
a mystery,-the case of Charley Ross.
the alleged kidnapped boy who was
supposed TO have been stolen while at
play in the street in Philadelphia, in
the front OF his fathers house. The
detectives, as is well known, have fol
lowed every clew, bu. without achiev-
ing any success. Thousands of dollars
have been spent, ostensibly, by the
father in vain attempts to regain his
lost one. Now comes along woman
at last to reveal the facts in the case
The lady in question is no less
celebrity than DIR. Mary L. Walker,
OF Washington, who, GiOJe reporter is
informed, holds the key that's to unlock
this gigantic ecret. DIR. Walker dis
closed only part of the scheme to
friends in this city, and will not at
present go into the details of the matter.
The Ross boy was not stolen or kid.
mapped, according to her theory. and
his parents have known from the out
set where he was; consequently the alb
duction scheme is q gigantic fraud.
The game has proved extremely lucra-
tive, money being advanced from SYM
pathizing people all over the world;
and the father, who was at the begin
ming nearly bankrupt, now has COM
potency in this worlds goods to mako
him comfortably we'll off. Charley Ross
has been in Washington the greater
part OF the time, although occasionally
hustled hither and thither to elude the
officers. Journeys to Harrisburg, Bal
timore, st. Adams, and other places
have been made, kilograms sometimes
intercepting the party, containing the
assumed as we'll as the real name OF
Charley. DR.. Walker has manuscript
enough, comprising the detail of this
matter, to publish an interesting book,
which she intends doing when some
enterprising publisher comes along that
wants to make fortune. She also in
tends to lecture on the Charley Ross
case soon. If the above is true, and the
Doctor gives it as genuine. the public
will indeed think that truth is stranger
than fiction. The best evidence that
this theory is true appears to be that
the lady says she has seen the lost prod
ICY herself, and consequently speaks
from personal observation and knowl-
edge. The boy looks we'll, and no one
would mistrust that so much ficticious
matter had been printed about such in
nocence abroad.-BoSton Globe.

Female Suffrage in Wyoming.

Capt. S. Ell. Winsor, who lived sever
al years in Wyoming Territory, where
they have woman suffrage, says, in the
indianapolis Journal: "For about two
years after the law was passed nearly
all the women in the Territory used to
vote, my wife among the rest. But,
after this experience, the better class
became digusted with the operation of
the law and quit voting. AS an instance
of how female citizenship worked in
one case, remember jury trial where
the defendant was charged with rape
and murder. The jury consisted of six
men and six women. After the trial
had progressed about two weeks, one of
the women was taken sick. The trial
was postponed several days on her &C
count, but she was unable to resume
her duties, and anew jury was ordered,
and new trial from the beginning.
During this same trial knew of three
mechanics and working men whose
wives were on the jury, and who, in
consequence of that fact, had to quit
work and stay at home and take care of
their children. AS an instance of the
demoralizing influence of politics on
women, remember seeing a lady, the
wife of candidate for office, standing
at the counter of beer saloon, drink
ing beer with parcel of colored men.

She was from Ohio, and was we'll edu-
Gated and entirely respectable; but she
was so intensely interested in her hus-
bands success that she resorted to this
means of getting votes for him. I saw
this same lady and q school-teacher of
Cheyenne in their buggies driving col
ored men and women, and even known
harlots, to and from the polls. In such
ways as this 1 regard the operation of
the law as demoralizing to the women.
There may be others who differ with
me, but I am simply giving my views

may add that my wife, who enjoyed
the elective-franchise during the period
of our residence in Wyoming, entirely
accords with these views"

Cart Loads of Medicinal Rubbish

al troubles thus kept alive for years, when
that peerless tonic stimulant and corrective,
Hostetter's Stomach Btters would speedily
set the disordered and worn-out mechanism
OF the system in active and healthful opera
ton again. 1t has been demonstrated over
and over again that the requirements of the
sick are answered far better by the Bitters
than by majority of the miscalled RENE
dies Of the pharmacOpGa. The stomach is
strengthened, the liver regulated, the bowels
put in proper order, the blood enriched and
purified, and the nervous system rendered
tranquil and vigorous by this incstimable
family medicine and safeguard against dis
ease, which is, moreover, IA most agreeable
and effective appetizer, and a cordial pecu-
liarly adapted to the wants OF the aged and
infirm, delicate females, and convalescing
patients. 1t is, besides, immensely popular
as an antdote to malaria.

NATURE AND ART.-He was an
aesthetic young man from the city. The
floor manager had introduced him to q
divine young creature in blue, and they
stood in the set waiting for the promp-
ter's call.
"What a charming assembly," re-
marked the young man from the city,
gazing around upon the array of beau
tiful faces and costumes. "There is
something SO captivating, SO ether
realizing, in these gatherings of Gull
ture and refinement, that I am always
charmed when I can mingle with such
joyous throng. Do you not pronounce
this a fashionable and intellectual
soiree-a superior gathering of beauty
and gentility?"
Its the boss" replied the gentle
creature in blue, as she arranged the
fastening of a neat little glove.
The young man from the city had to
be assisted out of the hall.-Rockland

Til Death.

We wandered down quiet street.
just where the town and country meet
One long-to-be- remembered day,
When Autumn-leavos strewod all the way
Among the yellow grass there grew
A dainty flower of faintost hut;
You plgcked it, Saying let this dover
Remington of the happy hour
won your grace
And when YOU took my iinger-tips,
And pressed them g,utly to your lips,
Ny pIisoned heart So wildly beat
did not dare your eyes 10 meet
Lest you should read the secret there,
And know held you passing fair
STOPPING, you drew me to your side,
And called me Darling, Love, and Bride,
And kissed my face.
1t could not be. Before the day
You were TO bear me far away.
Another came, with sweetest face,
And in your heart reigned in my place.
Iwept-alas! what tears shed
The day you told me you were wed:
had not yet the lesson learned
That It's the ehaff that's lightly turned
BY ntestbrea.h.
For years my path in light has lain,
With naughs of sorrow, care, or pain
live within tie brightest SUD,
And faintest wish is quickly done;
Yet oft aforementioned look,
An Autumn leaf, running brook,
Will send through throbbing heart and brai
That unforgotten crushing pain
And will till DEATH
