HOW SPRINGFIELD GIRL SECURED A

HOW A SPRINGFIELD GIRL SECURED A
HUSBAND.
Springfield Mas Letter TO Boston Herald.
A sewing girl in this city has had ro-
mantle experience which is worth the
telling. Several months ago man at
Dubuque, Ia, advertised in an eastern
Massachusetts paper tor wife Among
a swarm Of answers which he received
were two from two girls in this city, who
replied lust tor the iun OF the thing. One
OF them represented herself young as
a widow, and her lively account of
herself and her circumstances was very
largely fictitious especially that
if it was of no consequence of
the snug sum of money LETT her by her
dear departed. She never expected to
hear of the matter again, but that was
the one letter out of all the advertiser
received which struck his fancy. He
wrote to the supposed widow" who,
in fact had never been married, and who
was then earning her living with her
needle; photographs were exchanged the
letters grew more and more affectiOnate.
until the youngi woman, realizing that
the affair was no longer Joke, wrote to
frankly of her humble circumstances.
OF course he admired her all the more,
and at last he came from Dubuque to
this city to claim her for his bride. In
stead Of the sleek and intelligent looking
and manly individual whom she had ex-
pected from his letter and his photo
graph, what was her yexation to see 4
person OF decidedly seedy appearance,
wearing an old slouch hat and appearing
altogether unaitractive. Well, she re-
fused him, and he, chiding her bitterly
for so doing after all the pains he had
taken to win her, returned alone to Iowa.
/ suppose he hadn't left the house befor
she was sorry-such is the flexible char
acter Of female affection and it was
certainly true that she was very sorry,
indeed. before he had put 4 thousand
miles between them. He wrote no more,
but the distressed young woman
wrote: or got friends 10 write, to the
pastor Of the church he attended and
to various persons in Dubuque, to find
out what sort OF man this was-some-
thing She ought to have thought of in
the first place. The replies were uni
formly complimentary, and every one
increased her regret that she, poor sew
ing girl. had reiuseda "good match"
Never a word came from him, and at
last she swallowed her pride, reopened
The correspondence herself, and told him
how she mad misiudged him and how
sorry she was that she had. Promptly
came manly reply, from which she dis
covered that when he visited her here he
had Intentionally made himself as unat-
tractive as possible, from romantic
notion that She ought TO take him for
what he was and not for what lie wore.
OF course they were married. and the
poor sewing girl has tor her husband one
Of the leading citizens Of Dubuque, and
for her home one Of the finest mansions
in Dubuque.

This form Of cOntagion among cattle is OF
very ancient origin. Pulmonary epizootics
are described by Columela. in the irst GEN.
tury, and by Tacitus. in the third. In 1893
the great German naturalist, Valcntin, de-
scri5ed disease prevalent in his time,
which, being confined to cattle, was proba-
bly, the pleuro-pueumonia of our own. Since
he wrote, the disease has existed continuous
ly in the greater part of western Europe. 1t
made its first appearance in England in 1899,
in connec tion with the foot and mouth
disease, by importations of cattle from the
Continent. Denmark often imported it from
England and Holland but a1 often stamped
it out by the slaughter Of all infected ami
mails. In 1865 it reached Oldenburg, Ger
many, from Scotland, but was Immediately
annihIlated by the destruction OF the infect
ed stock. la lSG0 it was imported from
Scotland into Norway, but was at once
extinguished by close quarantine and
careful dlsiniection. In Switzerland the
disease prevailed Tor years, but was finally
overcome by the inexorablc slaughter Of
every diseased and exposed animal.
In 1858 the disease reached Australia. by
an imported English COW. and from her it
spread to the vast cattls ranges of that
country, the herds Of which were almost de-
populated. In 1877 the contagion was
brought to New Jersey by an importation of
English cattle, but 1t was at once cxtingCish-
cd bv the slaughter of all the animals on the
farm. In 1889 it was introduced into
Massachusetts, and its spread was 50 rapid,
and the mortality was 50 great among cattle,
that it was deemed necessary to call special
session Of the Legislature 10 provide means
for it4 cxtirpatiOn. 4 commission was ap-
pointed, with full power to isolate exposed
herds-to kill all diseased or exposed ami
mails. rcmuncrating the owners for the loss
thereof by payment Of iourii of the value
from the State treasury and one-fIth
from the towns. Ky direction of this com
mission IlG4 animals were slaughtered,
besides those which died of the disease. The
experience OF 200 years has demonstrated
that the disease is incura6le by any methods
yet discovered, and that the only path OF
safety il in isolation and unsparlng slaugh-
ter of every diseased animal aud of every
animal exposed to the Injection. Medicines
seem to have no effect upon an animal once
attacked but incubation OF healthy ami.
mails operates as a preventive, just as inocu-
latiou operates against the contagion Of the
smallpox among the human family.

SECRETARY SHERMAN, in his letter to the
chairman of the appropriations committee of
the House states that the expenditures for the
first seven months of the current fiscal year
were Sl52, go, ,9il, and for the same period
last year Sl4l ,092, ,SiS, showing an increase
of s IL ,59S ,093, from which should be deduct
ed the amount paid for the Halifax award !,
So, 500 900, leaving net increase Of So

necessary for the payment Of arrears of
pensions, S4l 500, 900. and the expenditures
for last fiscal year, S236, ,96i ,326. the total
estimated expenditures for the next fiscal
year will be S2s4 ,562, ,4l9 The receipts as
estimated will be, from customs Sl33, ,0O0,-

from miscellaneous sources 5 Is 500 OOO-
total S251 500, 900, leaving IA deficiency of
81 ,O62 .4l9. This estimate is based upon
the assumption that the expenditures for the
balance of the fiscal year will not be IT,
creased by unusual Deficiencies, and that the
appropriations for the next fiscal year will
not exceed IN other respect, the amount OF
the appropriation, for this fiscal year. Ii
would thus appear that the sinking fund
must be entirely ignored and S2S 900 900
be provided for by additional legislation. As
new taxes cannot be Immediately productive,
it is recommended that authority be gwen

DFTRAUDING The GOyERNEENr.-The Lyn-
don UniOn says A great swIndle is now
going on against the GJyerunent by down
country advertisers expressing cart loads OF
circulars to Montreal to be there mailed to
different names throughout the states
Eleven large sacks Of that stun came
down over the line last Monday, and so
crowded the route agents that they were
unable to get half of it distributed during
the trip. If aailod from any Office in the
States these circulars would require one
cent stamp each. while at Montreal they are
mailed at one cent a pound and Canada
gets the money The circulars we saw
Monday were named "rhe Farmers Bulle-
tin, >" but were simply an advertisement for
Stockbridgo Fertilizer. The printing is all
done before the circulars are expressed to
Canada and. TO give the enterprise the ap-
pearance OF honesty, they are nOmmd!iy

die and make some law OF ruling by which
this country, which does all the distrlbut-

enter into treaty with the Dominion. TO
make it reciprocal. we must have IL free
market for all our goods-the products OF
our factories and of our skilled industries.
