A Death.bed Marriage Prevented.

At Meyers Hotel in Washington. on
the night Of Sunday, Mai oh 20, Capt.
JoImsn Crane. q well known man, lay
dying. The Captain was worth about
$20,O0O. He had lived i've years with
a woman named Mary Crane, and had
introduced her as his wife in some of
the most respectable circles in the Dis
trict. No marriage ceremony had,
however, been performed. When Capt.
Crane was dying he desired To make
Mary his legal wife. The Captains
sister, Celia Crane, was violently op-
posed TO a marriage, there being. it APP
pears. no will. A clergyman, the Rev.
DIR. James G.. Addison, was sent for,
and was willing TO perform the cere-
mony. DR.. Townsend, who was pres
ent, thus described the scene in an in
terview with q Post reporter:
"The sister kept her place by the side
of the bed, and as | asked the question
first to prove his consciousness, dc
you know me'' he indicated his reply
by an affirmative nod Of the head. Then
l asked: Are you willing 10 marry this
womanp' but before he could nod, his
sister patted him on the cheek, and said,
Don't answer them, my dear brother
In his weak condition he would at once
relapse, and after several attempts and
failures, both l and DIR. Addison gave it
up"
The marriage was thus prevented,
and after the Captains death the sister
took possession Of his personal proper
ty. The alleged wife caused the arrest
of the sister on the accusation Of lar
ceny, but on the witness stand the COM
plainant acknowledged that there had
been no marriage ceremony. The
Police Justice, t~hereupon, decided that
the sister, being the natural heir, was
entitled to the property.
The so-called Mrs. Crane was visited
by a Post reporter. She is Of a petite
figure, about 80 years of age, OF fair
complexion, and very ladylike and mod
est in her demeanor. She was dressed
in deep mourning. She was evidently
worn and worried with excitement.
She said that she had been living for
years as the wife of Mr.. Crane; had for
saken home and friends for him, and,
in the eyes of God and man, was his
wife. Speaking Of the reasons for de-
laying the marriage, she explained that
j. had been spoken of between them,
but that up to his last sickness nothing
definite had been arranged. Some time
before Mr.. Crane's death the Rev. DIR.
Addison had called, but at that time,
although she thought of suggesting the
marriage, she had deferred il, and when
be next came it was too late. She add
ed that she did not know the sister IN
ill her arrival, and that the sister hsd
prevented the marriage by plscing her
hand over the mouth and hesd Of Mr..
Crane, thus preventing him from an
the questions when asked.

DOCTORING IN THE DARK.-In many
diseases several organs are more or less
implicated, and what seems q primary
ailment may be one only remote. For
instance, q severe headache may have
its origin in . disturbed stomach. On
the other hand. sickness at the stomach
may be caused BY q blow On the head.
Boils and other eruptions OF the surface
often result from the imperfect action
of the liver in eliminating effete matter
from the system. So, offensive excre-
tons of the skin, are caused by this lat.
ter organs throwing of what the kid
neys or bowels had failed to do. A Sc
we're pain in the lower part of the spine
may be due to an irritation of . nerve
near the base of the brain. A pressure
on n side of the brain by an effasion
OF blood or water (serum) into a of
its cavities, may cause . paralysis Of the
opposite side Of the body. The seat of
typhoid fever il in the upper part Of the
bowels; but some of its worst symptoms
are often in the brain. Uterine disease
is very often dependent on disease Of the
liver, and attention to this latter organ,
well As TO the stomach, brain, spleen,
etc., is far more important than ordi-
nary local treatment. These facts, with
many others that might be given, help
70 show why most persons are incom-
petent to sAdoctor" themselves, and Why
patent medicines T quite likely to do
harm rather than good. In sickness,
and even in ailments that may seem A.

love their lords do not like to see them
in, insisting, for instance, in wrapping
the draperyy Of his hat and boots about
him ere lying down to pleasant dreams.
She never shed q tear or dropped q
scolding word, but thinking that he
breathed rather heavily, and fearing
that he might have an attack of apo
plexy, she tenderly made two mustard
plasters about the size, thickness, and
consistency of door-mats, put them on
the soles of his feet, and, after allowing
the grateful warmth from them to per-
wade his system for about two hours,
removed them, sponged off his sizzling
feet (Which would have been . treat to
a cannibal who liked his victuals well
cOoked), and went to bed with the sweet
consciousness of duty performed. About
6:30 the partner of her welded life
awakened, and after determining who
and where he was, quietly popped out
OF bed, intending to drain the water
pitcher. But no sooner had he set his
foot on the carpet than with q wild
howl he threw himself back into bed,
yelling. "Holy Moses, who's carpeted
the floor with tacks and red-hot boiler
plate?" His wife deemed it prudent
to send for the doctor, with whom she
had q brief private interview before
he was shown to the sufferers room.
The unhappy sufferer then discovered
from the physician that his indulgence
in alcoholic stimulants had brought on

The New Bills.

Since the last veto of President
Hayes, the Democrats in Congress
have decided to introduce and pass
new Army and Judicial Appropria-
ton bills. sufficiently modified in
their previously Objectionable fea-
lures to meet the views Of the Presi.
dent. Tie Radicals, however, bent
upon ''rulc or ruin policy" have
determined TO oppose the passage of
the bills and to secure other yetOes
from the President unless they are
so altered as not TO interfere in the
slightest degree with the control Of
the Executive over the army, whether
it be to use it as police force or not
as he may elect.
The judicial bill has already pass
ed the Senate by strict party vote
which is sure sign Of veto. So
far as the South is concerned, we
think very little stress should be put
upon the Army bill; what we need
most is the repeal of the test oath
and the law allowing supervisors OF
elections and special marshals. The
first is disgrace to our statute book
because it makes The Court to consist
only of judge. instead of judge and
jury together ; the second is unneces.
snry and uBwarranted, because the
law provides the modes Of elections
and the managers to conduct them.
These unjust provisions, however,
give the control of elections TO the
Radical party and they mean to hold
it inaugurate Il revolution,

A Sad State of Affairs.

The ratio of divorce TO marriage
has been as follows during tho lust
few years in four New England
States: Vermont, to 1G; Nassachu-
sets, to %; Rhode Island, to Is ;
Connecticut, to 10. If Maine and
New Hampshire have like divorce
record, the number Of couples in the
New England States who make q
shipwreck of matrimony is about
ut least eighteen hundred annually.
This is certainly sad state of af-
fairs, and we publish it not for the
purpose of exulting over our New
England cousins, but simply TO show
that they are worse off morally than
the Southern people, who, in the eyes
of the average New Englander, are lit.
tie better than the Hottentots. This
may he civilization, but, we mus,
confess, it is of kind that we do moi
wish to see at the South.
