4 HONEY.nOOX TOTALLY EcLrrsED.

There was a newly-married couple on
the Great Republic when she stranded,
and when the tug-boats came alongside
to rescue passengers the husband sprang
on the first one and went off to the
land, and stood there in safety looking
at the ship which still contained his
bride, and softly sang:
" am waiting on the shore, love-
On the grey and patlIless sand
For thy footsteps dimlY cleaning,
For thy shadow the strand
While Ia my sad sad dreaming
/ know il IL but dreaming,
Thy kisses my haHd.
.... This dreamin2--is il seeming
From yonder shadow land"
But when she came on shore in the
next boat and peremptorily ordered
him to go back to the ship for their
"dudsyp = he said, ''Net much, Mary Ann!
NOT for you and all of your furbeIows
and frills and flounces and striped stock

the naked truth, for she didn't get her
clothes, and there is divorce suit
pending.

The Business Advance.

While there are fears. in prudent
minds, lest the rapid rise in values
may reach a speculative limit and be
subject 10 sudden reaction, it is still
agreeable to know that we are making
steady progress in the direction. The
evidences Of this fact abound. The
total advance in railroad stocks aggre>
gates about $500. 900, ,000, while iron,
ina nufactured. and even agricultural
products. are advancing in price.
There is every reason for believing
that all this il natural and proper, and
if so controlled that il shall not he
come speculative, will continue longer
than any career of prosperity this
country ever had. 1t is usual for the
effects of panics to continue four or
i've years, when reeuperation sets slow
ly in. Why this is so is hard to sat
isfactorily explain; but that it is so, all
the pauics we have had show If that
just past affords any criterion. the rea-
son for the change Is in the fact that
after panic period of economizing

wealth is less than its production
Hence debts arc paid, and fouuda

appeared IN Memphis, the woman.
whose name "a Mrs Annie Harper, LEFT
the city, crossing in a skift TO the AR

and two children last 5eat. and when
the fever appeared again she became

she would die unless she left the oity.

way into the woods, almost tropiczlly

house where s Mr.. Woodson lives, she
declared that she had the fever, aud
wanted to spread it. This Of course
excited the inmates of the house. and
the woman's hasty departure was de
nanded
Dir. Handle saw the woman near

wandering ainlessly aud had at last

of the woman, Mr Handle asked her
several questions.

in a moment. she became wild again,
and, with a wild shrek, she dashed on

her. but she paid no attention to him,
wildly exclaiming that she was dying
with the fever. Mr. Handle says that

belongs to a respectable family, and
that her husband was quite a promi-

a German Invasion OF Russia.

According 10 the MoDiteur Uoiver
sci the coolness which has lately arisen
between Germany has been partly
caused by the discovery of carefully
prepared plan for the invasion of Rus
sia by the German army. Details of
this plan were contained in some pri-
vate papers lately stolen from the mil
itary attache of the German Embassy
al ST. Petersburg, Col Won Liegnitz
and il is regarded as significant fact
that, although many things of value
must have been within his reach the
thief who took the papers took moth
ing else 1t is also alleged that in
spite of the representations of the
German Government the Russian
authorities have displayed but little
zeal in endeavoring to trace aud arrest
the culprit. In Germany it is con
tended, the Mnniteur Umversel adds,
that il is the duty Of all the military
attaches TO assume that a conflict be
tween their own country aud the one
to which they are sent may at any
moment arise, aud that. therefore, the
fact that the stolen notes contained a
number of observations made appar
emily in contemplation OF a war be
tween the two empires does not in any
way indicate that Germany at the
present moment is animated by any
hostile feeling toward Russia.
