Miss GREEN and Mr.. Neemier stood
at the chancel rail in . Roman Catholic
Church at Delphos, Ohio, in the pres
ence Of a large wedding assembly. The
marriage service was smoothly per.
formed TO the point where Miss Green
was asked il she would take Mr.. Nee-
mier to be her husband. No, I will
not, she responded. The priest thought
she was confused and put the question
again, %whereupon she declared that she
had changed her mind, but would give
no explanation. OF course the cere-
mony was not concluded.
The Nihilists would appear to be full
Of grim humor. An address couched

when it reached its de ,tination, there
appeared the astounding declaration:

assination Of your Majesty has not

and Willis kindled the fire. Allen and
some of his friends dug a grave, carried
the suspected men to it, made them
kneel at the side of the hole, held guns
TO their heads, and commanded them to
confess. However, this treatment did
not extort a confession, and Allen WAS
subsequently fined 500 for outrage. A
few Dayton boys, having heard of the
Sonora affair, took eve more cruel
measures to make a play-fellow confess

Temperance Drinks for Summer.

DIR. Richardson and the British Med
ical Temperance Association, over
which he presides, have once more en-
desvored TO give practical illustration Of
what may be used - wholesome, ION
intoxicating beverage when the warm
weather We have long been expecting
eventually arrives. Always supposing
that sunshine viii some day superscde
the cold and vet from which we are at
present suffering, and that with it the
desire for refreshing compounds in the
shape Of drink will arise, the question
which the doctors have met TO discuss is
certainly one Of considerable interest.
1t may at once be noted that the variety
Of mixtures with which the assembled
teetotalers on the occasion Of the So
ciety's banquet drank to the various
:" sentiments" proposed was neither
stinted nor commonplace. There we're
unfermented wines, including sport"
and "sherry," fruit drinks, beverages
made from malt-free from alcohol, Of
course-and others from hops, declared
on the list to be both good and pleasant,
cyderine. concocted from the juice Of
apples; y curious liquid with . singular
name, which vas stated to be ''the pure
inspissated juice Of the grape, free from
all foreign matter. and pleasantly acid"
and another which, under an equally
strange title, was averred to contain
phosphates and iron, and to be an ex-
cellent tonic. Ginger ale, than which,
it was announced, "nothirg could be
finer" fruit doubt ad-
mirable in their way and, lastly,
.liqueurs, "unintoxicating and very At
tractive," went to make up the list Of
rotations in which the advocates of
temperance pledged each ether. Agree
ably cheered with the uninebriating
liquors thus provided, they congratu-
lated themselvey on the success of the
movement they represented, and found
much satisfaction in the discovery that
they we're able to eat what appears
from their menu to have been a particu-
larry good dinner without the aid OF
alcoholic mixtures. That, being in
sound health, they are not deferred by
the absence of claret and champagne
from enjoying the salmon, ponlets sautes
a Ia Marengo, roast goslings, quail, as
paragus, and %jellies, to say nothing of
many another toothsome dish with
which they were supplied, will, no
doubt, be matter for sincere satisfaction
to their friends. 1t is of more import
ance to know how far the pleasantly
acid" juice Of unsweetened grapes, the
malt drink which, as we are assured,
"can with difficulty be distinguished
from beer and stout" or the infer
mented port or sherry, are likely to SUI
persede the more intoxicating draughts
they are proposed to combat, and in
what degree they are likely to find ia

M-Treatment Of Mexican Sol.
dierS.

An Express reporter while wandering
about west of the San Pedro, yesterday,
was shown a man who claimed to have
deserted the Mexican army at Piedras
Negras, a few days ago. Approaching
the man, whose clothes were tattered
and filthy, and whose spirits seemed to
be rather low, the reporter inquired his
name, which he gave as Juan Monies.
A conversation followed, during which
the poor creature stated that he had
abandoned the ranks of the army of his
country simply because he was being
starved to death. The soldiers, he said,
were corraled and treated like beasts.
When asked how the treatment of
American soldiers, from what he had
seen, compared to that of the Mexicans,
he replied that the Americans were
treated fine-plenty to eat, good clothes
and liberties denied the Mexicans were
theirs. The Mexican soldiers at Piedras
Negras, the man said, have not been
paid for over six months, and they get
most of their supplies through the
Americans. He also said that the SOL
diers were talking about coming to
Texas to live, and intimated in q pecu-
liar way that the desertion of the entire
command at Piedras Negras might be
looked for soon. There were others,
this man says, who crossed to Texas
with him. The guards did not see them
and they escaped without even being
shot at.
The above is but in accord with re-
ports the Express has published from
time to time about the condition of the
Mexican army on the border. Some
attribute the present lack of funds to
pay the men. as well as the shortness of
their ration, to An intention of the DOM
inant party to hold fast all the money
possible to get until the days of the COM
ing Presidential election roll around,
expecting to need it then more than at
present, while others say that all the
money has been spent, and nothing short
OF a general levying of pestimos can
bring the desired relief. At any rate,
hundreds of troops have fed to TexaSto
escape their p~rison-like barracks and
run the chances Of living. The treat
ment the soldiers receive is said to be
most outrageously v and brutal.
In fact, if half that is told be true, . few
lessons of civilization are necessary to
be taught.-San antonio (Tsr.) Express.

Narrow Escape Of an AerOnaut.

One of the most extraordinary es-
capes from death e recorded occur
red on Easter Monday to an aeronaut
named L'Estrange. In the presence of
thousands of spectators he made an as
cent from the Agricultural Grounds, on
the St. Kilda road, in the balloon Auro-
IA, the same, it is said, which was used
to convey dispatches during the Franco
Prussian war. When the balloon had
attained the great altitude of q mile and
three-quarters it suddenly collapsed,
the gas bursting through its sides; but
the parachute came into play, and, in
stead Of the wreck falling like . stone,
it came down in a zigzag course, and
finally struck q tree in the Government
Domain, thus breaking the fall, and
L'Estrange reached the ground half stun
ned, but alive. The excitement when
the balloon came down was intense.
Women screamed and tainted, some fell
on their knees, with their hands clasped
in prayer, while hundreds of men rush.
ed into the Government .Domain Z
pecting to find a mangled body, but to
their establishment they discovered
L'Estrange alive, and almost unhurt.
The escape was certainly one of the
most marvellous on record. The bal
loon used was an old one, and LES
TRANCE patched up some rents in the
morning, but the direct cause of the .
tastrophe was the inexperience of the
a~eronaut, who did not allow for the
great expansion of gas consequent upon
his rapid ascent. L'Estrange is q good
deal bruised, and he has sprained his
right arm, but he is in high spirits, and
talks Of making another ascent il he can
patch up the Aurora, OF obtain . substi-
tute.-Melbousne Argus.

Summers AfOOt.

Two years ago, a lad in Michigan
found his health broken down by too
constant application to his books. He
was a clever. ambitious boy, the son of
a poor clergyman, and wa eager to fit
himself to help the struggling family at
home. While in this enfeebled state,
he took a evere cold, which settled on
his lungs. The physicians declared
medicine to be of no use. The only
chance of life was a change of climate,
and his father could not send him to
Colorado. 1t was as much as he could
do to keep him at home. In this crisis
an uncle, living in the mountains of East
Tennessee, wrote for the lad to come to
him. He found his uncle's home a
rough cabin on the top of a high peak,
surrounded by pine forests. The pure
air and the balsam of the pines acted as
a tonic. The young man lived roughly,
slept soundly, ate with the hunger of a
b2ar. As soon as he was able, his un-
Gle started with him on short walking
excursions through the mountains.
These increased in length with his
strength. He remained a year, at the
end of which time he was able to make
his 25 miles a day. He went home a
stout healthy young fellow, with an
amount of practical knowledge which
no books could have taught him.
Last summer, walking parties started
from several of our colleges, and we be-
lieve that the idea will gain in popular
ity during the present year. In Ger
many, almost every student spends his
vacation in tramping through some
part of Europe. Our American boys
ought to study their own country, face
to face, by this means.
No more delightful or useful scheme
of amusement could be found than for
q couple or four intelligent, clesn-mind-
ed, fun-loving young men to start out
together to tramp through some State
unknown to them. The railway would
soon bring them, say to New Hampshire,
New York, Virginia, Pennsylvania, or
the great Southern mountains. Then
let them say good by to railways, and
with their guns, rods, sketch-books, and
a little money in their pockets, what q
happy, beneficial summer theirs would
be!-Youth'S Companion.

Japanese Shoes.

A writer calls attention to the cheap
and effective method adopted by the
Japanese to protect their feet:
One of the most striking sights that
takes the attention of the traveller in
Japan is that Of the wooden sandals
worn by thirty-ive millions of people.
These sandals have q separate compart-
ment for the great toe, and make .
clacking noise on the street. Straw slip
pers are also worn, and q traveller, set
ting out on q journey, will strap a sup
ply of them on his back, that he may
put on q new pair when the old is worn
out. They cost but q cent and . half q
pair. They are rights and let's, and
leave the foot free to the air. We never
see those determines of the foot in ia.
pan which are 70 frequent in this cour-
try. They are never worn in the house,
being left outside the door; passing
down q street, you see long rows of them
at the doors, old and new, large and
small. 1t is surprising to see how rap
idly the Japs step out of them, and pick
them up again with their feet, without
stopping when leaving the house.
