Amelia Linkhaw,s Crime.

Amelia Linkhaw went to the hotel in
Lumberton, N. c., and inquired for j.
E. Hartman. He was q travelling sales
mar from Baltimore, a frequent visitor
to the village, and had been regarded as
Miss Linkhaw's accepted sutton. She
was a somewhat famous beauty Of that
isolated part of the STATE, an active
worker in religious charities, and the
daughter of q moderately-wealthy man.
Hartman joined her in the hotel par
lor, and they shook hands; but, while
she held his hand with her left, she drew
a pistol with her right, and shot him
dead. That was five months ago, and
she has since been in jail, except when
lately taken into court on the day ap-
pointed for q trial. The interest in the
case was SO great that 1000 persons,
nearly the entire population of two
counties, gathered in and around the
Court House. Miss Linkhaw addressed
the court saying that she killed Harri-
man because he broke his promise of
marriage; that she did not believe she
had done any wrong, and that she did
not desire a lawyer to defend her, as
she was entirely willing to leave herself
in the hands of God, who would take
care of her. Her father, however, had
engaged counsel, and the trial was post
poned.

A Chinese wedding.

All Guy is the Chinese for Alice, the
Angel. Miss All Guy began to get mar
RED in San francisco, On Thursday
Of last week, to Charles Jamison.
an Engishman. The marriage was the
first one according to Chinese rites that
has ever been celebrated on this con-
tinent. The marriage ceremony began
on the, day mentioned, and, as it con-
tinues for seven days, doubtless was
day before yesterday. On
the morning of the first day the groom
received the money contributions of
Ill friends, and with the money hired
the Chinese restaurant and its kitchen
for the day. The Ill guests arrived
before noon and sat at the table. The
bride then made her appearance. She
held q large fan before her face, COM
pletely screeningit. She passed before
the Ill guests and curtsied slowly
three times before every one, or 1888
times. Proverbs were recited by all
the guests. What the proverbs are like
we are not told, but presumably some
thing of this style: @Never use the
broomstick but to sweep" 3When you
dine on butter, dine on it.and when
you dine on hair, dine on hair" After
the guests had been curtsied to, tea
was drunk. As the nuptials were in
progress when the last mails received
from Frisco left, there is no telling how
the wedding ended.-Ercha1ge.

The Dress Of a Mexican Horse.

The decorations Of the horse were
more dashing and infinitely more
costly than those Of bis rider. A small
bride, heavily o~rnafnented with silver,
with a very large and powerful bit, by
means of which the most stubborn ami
NAL can be instantaneously stopped
when at full speed; stirrups of solid or
plated silver, and an immense saddle
with large saddle-haps of skin, dressed
with the hair on, hanging downin front
to the horses knees, while a heavy pet
ticoat-hke covering of stiff, deliberately
stamped brown leather, called a Cortez
shield, inclosed the whole hind parts
well down to the launches. At
this point it terminated in a deep,
heavy fringe of iron c~hain-work, whose
iingling noise Seems to constitute the
chief happiness of the Mexican rider.
All these accoutrements-the bride,
saddle, reins, etc.-were richly en-
broidered and decorated in the kgold,
silver and colored silks which MIKE the
equipment and harness Of a Mexican
cavaliero so expensive. The leggins,
spurs, feathers and coverings of the
stirrups are all embroidered; some of
the former are SO deliberately ornament
ed as to cost $3.50 a pair, while the
whole dress, if it has any pretense to
fashion, cannot be purchased for less
than $500. The saddles are particu-
larly expensive, and, in almost any sad
dler's shop, may be seen half o dozen OF

An Humble Hero.

There died in Cincinnati, a few days
ago, a man who richly deserves the
honors of martyrdom. His name was
Peter Rapp. He drove n street car, was
young-only 26-and the sole support
Of an aged and infrm father and mother.
The parents were unable to do anything.
He provided them with shelter, cloth
ing, food and fuel. His wages were 80
small that, after paying the bills of the
household he had nothing left for him
self. He could not buy either an over
coat or undergarments to protect him
from rough weather. In order to go
out with his car at 81 every morning, he
was obliged to walk four and a half
miles. The rules of the company for
bidding the employees to ride without
paying fare, when not on duty, forced
him to walk back every night. Thus,
in addition to his fifteen hours of hard
work, he had a daily walk of nine miles.
For two anonths he never spent a single
cent of his earnings. All went home
to his mother. Continued toll, expos
ure and ~privation broke down his health.
He was attacked by quick consumption
and died, literally that his father and
mother might live.

An Ancient odor Of Spices.

An interesting archaeological observa-
ton has recently been made quite acct
dentally. It is well known that the
found on Roman backgrounds,
and containing the bone remains of
cremated bodies, are often covered with
clay cups OF dishes. The object of
these dishes wa supposed to have been
to contain spices, which sent forth
agreeable odors during the progress of
the cremation. Herr Dahlem, a we'll
known German arch@ologist, was able
to verify this view in the following
manner: He had obtained a dish of
this kind which was broken, and, after
cementing it, had placed it upon a stove
for the purpose of drying the cement.
Shortly afterward he noticed a strong
and by no means unpleasant odor pro-
ceeding from the heated dish. It
seems, therefore, that the ingredients
burned in the dish some fifteen centu-
ries ago had left traces behind, which
announced their presence upon becom.
ing heated. Herr Dahlem remarks that
the odor was not unlike that of storax.

The Circus.

The circus business has decidedly
waned from what it was twenty years
ago, and for the coming season the
travelling concerns will be very few
compared with former times. Many of
the names once familiar on the flaming
bills are not seen now in connection
with circuses. DR.. Spaulding is living
on his money in Saugerties, N. Y.
Yankee Robinson is an actor in West
ern theaters. Ben Maginley, Tony
Pastor and Frank Pastor, formerly
clowns, are also on the theatrical stage.
Andrew Haight, once owner of the Great
Eastern Circus, is keeping a hotel in
Chicago. OF other proprietors, Joseph
Cushing is farming in New Hampshire,
J. M. Nixon is managing a theater in
Chicago, Montgomery Queen is inter
ested in Brooklyn street railroads, Levi
North is also living in Brooklyn, W. J.

ups and downs, is building a floating
theater to run or sshe Mississippi. Bar

FORTY.SIXTH CONGRESS.

JUNE 16.-Sendk.--Mr. Davis, of West
Virginia, from the Committee on Appropri.
atoms, stated that on. consideration of the
present state of business. before the Senate
the committee was unable to concur in the
date in the House Joint resolution fixing to.
morrow as the day of adjournment. They
hoped to be able to report aresolution soon,
and fix an early day for adjournment.
At the expiration of the morning hour, the
Judicial Appropriation Bill was taken up,
and passed ........H ouse-A bill was intro
duced by Mr.. Sanford, and referred, pro-
hibiting the boarding of money in the treas
ury, and prohibiting the increase of the
interest-bearing debt of the United States.
The bill makes it unlawful for money to be
boarded in the Treasury, and provides that
all money in the Treasury not necessary for
the payment of the ordinary expenses of
the Government, shall he used for the pay.
ment Of outstanding United States bonds.
Section two prohibits the increase of the
interest. bearing debt, and Section three in.
ficts a penalty Of five thousand dollars, to-
gether with removal from Office, upon m
Government official violating the provisions
of the bill. Mr.. Springer from the Committee
on Elections, moved to suspend the rules
and pass the following bill to prohibit mil.
itary interference at elections: WHERE.
AS, The presence of troops at the polls is
contrary to the spirit of our Institutions and
the traditions of our people, and tends to
destroy the freedom of elections therefore,
be it enacted, that it shall not be lawful to
bring or employ at any place where a general
or special election is being held in a State

They have developed considerable strength,
and are said to be marching on New Laredo,

Faintness consists ii d temporary
failure OF the actiyity Of the heart the
blood, III consequence, is not properly
circulated. It does not reach the head,
and the patient loses clearness of Wis
ion and color. and, if not prevented,
falls on The floor, where, however, or
even before reaching it, he RECEIVERS.
There is no CONFUSION, and, though he
can scarcely be said to be conscious, he
is not unconscious, SO as not to be able
to be aroused, as happens In epilepsy.
There are all degrees Of faintness, from
merely feeling faint and looking
slightly pale, to the state we have
described; and in some cases the state OF
fainting is hardly recovered from we'll
before it begins again and again, for
hours and days together. We need
hardly say that such cases as the latter
are altogether beyond the reach OF
domestic medicine. What are the
causes of faintness? It is not very
difficult to describe these. Some peo-
pie are SO easily affected that they faint
If they cut their finger, or even it they
only see the cut finger Of another. All
one can say Of such persons is that their
muscular fiber is not strong, and that
their nerves are sensitive. The heart,
which goes on for years circulating the
blood, is essentially a muscle. It is
weak in some people, stronger in others,
AS q rule, it is weaver in women, and
stronger in men. Hence women fain
more rapidly than men,. Whatever
weaken. the heart and muscles general
" acts as a cause of faintness. Close,
| foul air is a common cause Of ~faintness
or Of languidness. Anything which
greatly affeptS the v system. such
as bad new < the sight OF something
horrible or jlssagreeable, will some
times cause Iainting. But, of all classes
of fainting, none is so serious as the loss
of blood. The muscles, in order to act
well, must be supplied with the blood;
and if the blood of the body is lost-if
it escapes, from a vein open purposely,
or from piles, or from the source from
which m~enstruation proceeds-in ex-
cessiye quantity, then faintness will
happen. The degree of it will depend
on the constitution, and on the amount
of blood lost. A loss of blood that
would scarcely be felt by one person
will be O serious cause of ~faintness to
another. Sometimes frequent faintness
arises from becoming very fat, the
muscular system of the heart being inn
paired by fat deposit.-Casselts House
