curing his assistance. the twain went
to the house and forced open the
pantry door.
When they gained an entrance they
discovered Ars. Warner in an oppo-
site corner OF the room, her left side
covered with blood, grasping in her
right hand a ponderous carving knife.
At first sight of them she raised the
knife and brought it down with full
force on her barred neck, inficting a
fearful cash, from which the blood
flowed in torrents. And still she
stood like a tiger at bay, and it was
only after she had been firmly bound
that four strong men were able to re-
strain her rawlings. DIR. Pardee, of
this village, and DIR. Phelps of Paler-
mo, were called, and ON examination
il was found that she had stabbed her
self five times in the left breast, in
the region of the heart, which wounds,
although not fatal, were very severe.
Just as her wild insane spasm had
attacked her a year before, Just so it
continued, despite her wounds, she
never seeming to regain Consciousness
or recognize those who came to her
bedside during the same length of
FIVE days as had occurred before.
Three days previous to the attack she
refused to partake of any food except
at one time the portion of a snail
bowl of Cruel, and absolutely adhering
to the idea, she weakened day by day,
and died on the 9th inst.
On the 9th inst. her remains were
taken to the church at Jennings
Corners, as she had requested weeks
before, and Elder Chase, according to
her often expressed wish. oficiated at
the funeral services. Then she was
laid away in a grave under the sod on
which she had often sat and medi-
tated-a place that she had selected
long before.
And she was resting there on the
10th day Of February Just as she said
she would long before, and she was
the first one, too, in the year to be
laid away IN the little graveyard.
Mrs. Warren was a lady forty years
of age, and previous to her affection
was a prominent member of the social
circle in her vicinity. No reason is
advanced to explain her insanity ex-
cept that it might have been due to an
inward disease. Six years ago a
small swelling was discovered on her
stomach, and, while it gave her no
pain, has continued to enlarge, and at
the time Of her death had reached
enormous proportions.
1t was a case which tho best medi-
cal authority has been unable to de-
cipher-coming as it did like a thun-
der cloud across the sky, but never
passing away so that the light Of rea-
son could shine through.

been possible. Ii is repeatedly re-
ported that the Duke OF Cambridge
afterward ordered the Guards to re-
treat before the enemy. and that be
was suubbod by Sir Colin Campbell. p
This is in itself a charge which no Off
Ger in high position, were he not privi-
legged and protected, could rest under,
An officer of the Fusilier Guards ex-
planned his having ordered lis com
pany to retire because he received that
order himself; and he said the Duke
of Cambridge and General Bentinck
might settle between them which of
them it was who gave the order. Can
any single officer or man be found who
believes it was Bentinck? Colonel
Dawkins does not stop here. He goes
on to say that the Duke of Cambridge
grossly insulted Lord Raglan on the
field of Inkerman, and that general
who himself, by the way, represented
privileges and pride of place in no
small degree-was considerably ham
pered by "the privilege of. royalty"
Persistent Colonel Dawkins makes
other charges, among the rest this:
The Duke of Cambridge left the
Crimea during the war. In crossing
the Black Sea on a calm night the
sailors reported that he was a very
odd man, for he kept constantly COM
ing on deck and asking if there was
any danger And again, during the
storm at Balaklava the Duke of Cam

minor. Amarriage consecratcd under
such happy auspices ought to have
been cloudless, but funds were want
ing. Money does not make happiness,
but it contributes very largely toward
it. Louis Dclcnto returned alone to
France, and cndeavorcd to utilize his
talents as a writer, which had stood
him in such good stead with the
countess, but he does not appear to
have succeeded in making even a rep
utation or a fortune. The mother of
this young man is now proceeding to
get the marriage annulled the father,
who was a doctor, having died a short
time since. The countess does not
oppose the marriage being annullod,
but she asks that it should be regarded
as a putative marriage, it having been
contracted in good faith. The tri5u-
nal has reserved its judgment.

PREDICTING HER OWN DEATH
An Insane WOman's Prophecy and its
FuIhllment.

Fulton N. " Times.l
When Mrs. Thomas Warner, who
lives about two miles east of Fulton,
retired on the evening Of the 3lst of
January, 1873, she felt queer, she told
her husband.
The night that followed was a rest
less one for her, her ~restlessness grow
ing rapidly more intense as the hours
passed by, until at dayhreak, when
she was a maniac, wild and raying with
uncomfortable passions, threatening
to death those who came to care for
her.
During FIVE days she raved in wild
madness, and then relapsed into a fit
of abIect silence and depression from
which nothing could arouse her. al
that a devoted family and her friends
could do failed to arouse her from her
apathy, and, day by day, as she passed
through life, she seemed oblivious to
all passing events, living merely from
instinct, finding no joy in the pleasures
Of the world, but abhorring all hat

GOING HOME.
An Every Day Incident at the Railroad
DepOts.
Detroit Free Press.l

Detroit Free Press
There isn't a day in the year but
what one can see Just such a parting
as yesterday morning took place at the
Union Depot. Man and wife had
come down to the train which was to
bear her to her mothers. The hus-
band had fully persuaded her that her
health was failing, and she ought to go
home on a six weeks visit. She
thought she felt even better than
usual, but husbands know best about
these things Of course. This wife
seemed to have made her preparations
quickly and had not yet said what was
on her mind to say. 1t lacked thirty
five minutes of train time, and as they
sat down in the waiting-room she
said.
No. Henry, the last time | went
away
Just watt want to see if that

he rose up. Going out, he was absent
seven minutes, When he returned she
was ready to say:
Il wanted to say to you that the
neighbors'-
Did | give you the check for your
trunk?" he suddenly inquired.
She found it in her pocket, restored
it, and again said
"Of course | have confidence in
you, but
You remember that you must not
change cars at the junction" he said
as he looked at his watch. When
you reach there you will hear men
yelling change cars for this and that
place, but YOU sit right still"
Haven't | been over the road four
different times, and don't | know all
the stations? Now, Henry, although
there will be no one in the house but
you, | have -
Did you forget that lunch-bas-
ket?" he excitedly asked, as he looked
around and under the seat.
She had it on her lap all the time.
As soon as she had assured him of its
safety, she said
You now come from the Office
every evening at six, and of course /
shall expect -
That's our train = he said as he
leaped up and grabbed for the satchel
Dear me, but | wanted to say to
you-she replied as she followed him
out.
He rushed down the depot and put
her aboard the coach as fast as posi-
bic, but while arranging the scat she
said
Now, Henry, | am going away for
six weeks, but | want to say that
There goes the bell-I'H be left
let me kiss you-good bye, DEAR and
he was out of sight in an instant.
A man across the isle who seemed
to know how matters stood, looked at
his watch and then called out
1T lacks just twenty-five minutes
Of train timev'
The wife rose up and walked to the
door, but Henry was clear of the
depot, an. all she could do was to give
one of her band-boxes a kick and
mutter

How TO Smoke "a

To those who are attached to the
pipe it may be a matter of interest to
know how their last puff or draught
of smoke may be as fresh as the first.
1t is well known that, smoking in the
usual manner, the last portion of the
tobacco becomes damp from the pres
ence of oil or nicotine drawn from the
heated tobacco above, which causes a
sickening and %nauseating effect, bitter
to the taste, and unpleasant and UNI
healthy as compared with the first
half of a well-flled pipe. A cotem-
pOrarary has found the following to be
effectual in giving a good, fresh smoke
from first to last. Place a small guam
tity of tobacco in the bottom of the
bowl, light it, and, when we'll aire, fill
the pipe, and, before each draught,
give a light puff outward through the
stem, which causes the tobacco to
burn upward, all below being con-
sumed. This is a sensible way of
smoking the time-honored pipe.
