about Is years, committed suicide on the

young Wielsnd, having married his sister,

farm and about the house. On Friday, 23d i,
be came to Lexington with load OF wheat,
leaving Wieland at home In charge of the
place. Upon his return at night he missed
the boy, and upon searching for him he was
found hanging In the smoke house. dead.
He had evidently climbed upon the joist and
after adjusting the rope "a plow line) jumped
of, as his neck was dislocated by the fall.
The boy had no relatives In this country sx-
cept Burch, his parents living in Germany.
He came over here about two years ago, and
had been living with Burch during the en-
tire time, but since the death of his sister,
has seemed moody and discontented, caused
partly by homesickness and partly, perhaps,
by the treatment which he received from
Burch, which 10 said not to have been uni

Constant tagging had been threatening
decentralization. Apprehension was un-
questionably felt lest the sudden con-
front of the men with the fierce Zulu
rush should shake their nerves; but the
British soldier was true to his manly
traditions when he found himself in the
open, and saw the enemy face to face in
the daylight. Lads of new regiments
who had never seen shot fired in anger
were as cool as the seasoned veterans of
the Thirteenth and Eightieth.
The Zulus, squatted thick on the long
grass, fred venomously. The Lancers spot
ted them in q manner reminding one of
pigsticking. Indeed, Keevil Davis killed
six ipso manu-. Yung james, of the
SCOTS Greys, was blazed at point blank
by two men. The two turned on him.
They missed. He ran the right hand
man through. The man on his left drop

How She Got a Husband.

A letter from lady residing in Cal
ifornia recalls romantic episode con.
nected with the writer. The lady, a
school teacher in Pennsylvania, estima-
bic and well educated, who had passed
out of her twenties, but was of very
romantic and imaginative disposition,
about two years ago, while on visit to
Franklin, Penn, formed the acquaint-
ance of lady who had brother, a
bachelor, residing in California. This
brother had written to his sister to pro-
cure him lady correspondent in the
East. This sister showed the letter to
Miss s., and after some persuasion and
warm praise of her absent brother,
obtained the promise that if he would
write to her she would reply. Soon
after her return home she received let
ter, and this was the beginning of quite
an animated correspondence. Photo
graphs were exchanged, and finally the
gentleman proposed and was accepted by
the lady. But now came the startling
proposition for her to Join him in San
Francisco, where they would be mar
ried, To this the young lady demurred,
but after good deal of pleading upon
his part, and the plea that his business
interests would not allow him to come
East for some time, she consented, and
he sent her money to defray the ex-
penses of the trip, and about year after
the correspondence began, she set out
alone to meet her unseen lover After a
pleasant trip she arrived in San Fran
cisco, where Mr.. G. met her. 1t was q
case of mutual love at first sight. and
neither had any wish to secede from the
contract A carriage was procured, and
they were driven to the residence of a
relative, where they were speedily united
and at once proceeded to Mr.. C.'s resi-
dence, about 20 miles from San Fran
cieco, where he had home prepared for
his bride, and now, after the lapse of q
year, the incident is revived by the let |
ter referred to, in which the lady writes
that she has had no reason to regret |
that she threw up the ferrule in Jeffer-
son county, and set out toward the set
ting sun to seek her fortune. She
speaks in glowing terms of her lovely,
luxurious home ON the Pacific slope, and |
eulogizes in fond terms of him Who she |
nays i ''the best husband in the world |

The Abuse of Choral.

The persons who become habituated to
choral hydrate are of two classes as a
rule Some have originally taken the
narcotic to relieve pain, using it in the
earliest application Of it for a true me-
dicinal and legitimate object, probably
under medical direction Finding that
it gave relief and repose, they have con-
tinued the use of it, and at last have got
so abnormally under its influence that
they cannot get to sleep if they fail to
resort to it. A second class of persons
who take to choral are alcoholic inebri-
ates who have arrived at that stage of
alcoholism when sleep is always dis
turbed, and often nearly impossible.
These persons, at first, wake many times
in the night with GOODNESS of the lower
limbs, cold sweatings, startings, and
restless dreamings. In a little time they
become nervous about submitting them
selves to sleep, and before long habituate
themselves to watchfulness and restless
ness. until a confirmed insomnia is the
result. Worn out with sleeplessness,
and failing to find any relief that is
satisfactory or safe in their false friend
alcohol, they turn to choral, and in it
find for a season the oblivion which they
desire, and which they call rest. 1t is a
kind of rest, and is no doubt better than
no rest at all, but it leads to the I'M
healthy states that we are now con-
versant with, and it rather promotes
than destroys the craving for alcohol.
In short, the man who takes to choral
after alcohol cnlists two cravings for a
single craving, and is double-shooted in
the worst sense. A third class of men
who become habituated to the use of
choral are men of extremely nervous
and excitable temperament, who by ma
ture, and often by the labors in which
they are occupied, become bad
sleepers. A little thing in the course of
their daily routine Expresses them.
What to other men is passing annoy
ance, thrown off with the next step, is
to these men u worry and anxiety of
hours They are over.susceptible OF
what is said of them, and of their work,
however good the work may be. They
are too elated when praised, and too de-
pressed when not praised, or dispraised'
They fail to play character parts on the
stage of this world, and as they lie down
to rest they take all their cares and anx
ieties into bed with them, in the liveli
est state of perturbation. Unable ii
this condition to sleep, and not knowing
more natural remedy, they resort tt
hyahse-of such an instrument y.1.e as chlorn "a.
dose /; increase the dose as occasion
seems to demand, and at last, in wha,
they consider safe and moderate sys
TEN of employing it, they depend on tn.
narcotic for their falsitied repose.-Dr

Sixty Years in Prison.

Mary Valentine, so years old, was
dying last night in the female depart
ment of the Tombs prison. She had
spent sixty years of her life in prison
although not as a prisoner. For the
past forty years she has been voluntary
prisoner, and for twenty-five years has
not been outside of the Tombs prison,
except two days annually, that being
New Year and Fourth of July. She
was very peculiar woman, never bright
nor ambitious, but scrupulously clean
and tidy in all her habits, and faithful
to fault as the voluntary assistant of
Matron Foster in the Tombs prison.
Long before the Tombs occupied its
present site Mary Valentine had an &C
quaintance with the police courts in this
city. When Wall and Pine streets
were the most fashionable thoroughfares
in the city, Mary Valentine was only a
child. She was born in the Summer of
1899. Her father died while she was
yet child, AS young girl she always
sought her own way, and as she grew up
she was so wayward and disobedient to
her mother that she was sent to the
House of Refuge, and from there trans
ferred to the old Bridewell, then in City
Hall Park, on the Broadway side.
After she had served her Time in Bride
well, she was bound out to Mr.. Curtis,
then a prominent resident Of this city.
She took to drink, and was frequently
seen in the police courts. When, how
ever, she found that liquor was getting
the mastery over her, she gave herself
up to prison life.
When the Tombs prison was built by
John Haviland in 1888 she was one Of
its first inmates, and for forty years she
has been out and in on short terms Of
ten days and month. In 1854 she
took such fancy to the place that she
never tried to leave it. Matron Foster
then, as now, had charge of the female
department, having come there in 1855.
Mary Valentine rendered the matron
what assistance she could. She was
then given charge of the supper tier,
and here she took great pride in keeping
the cells in neat and tidy order. At the
head of the stairway in small recess
was a decorated stool with the name
''Mary" painted on the top" Here
Mary sat keeping guard over her
prisoners. Commissioner Bell took
great interest in Mary Valentine when
she was taken sick, and told Warden
Finn to have her tenderly cared for
Mary took to her bed two days ago from
yesterday morning she fosu ner Speech
Toward night she failed to recognize
Miss Phillips, who ministered to hel
wants.-N. Y. STAR
