catastrophe, he said, was the upsetting
Of the boat under command of the first
mate. The shrieks and piteous cries of
the women almost drowned the roar of
the tempest, and, what was worse, there
was no human help available to serve
them in their terrible position. The
boats of the Emily B. Souder were con-
sidered in good condition; but no ordin-
airy hEe-boat could withstand such
waves. Anderson says the life-raft was
in bad condition, constantly leaking and
turning over. 'fEtg.sa1 da

A certain man got mad at the editor

notes that had been advertised two
weeks, and the public cautioned not to

Extinct Geysers in Nebraska.

In a communication to the Omaha
| (Neb. } Republican,, Professor S. Aughey
says: Perhaps nothing in our geology
is more novel and interesting than the
extinct geysers and hot springs Of cur
state. We associate the presence OF
such phenomena with the Yellowstone
region. But there was period which
closed in geologically recent times,
after having lasted for countless centu-
RES, when geysers and hot springs were
among the most common phenomena
of the plains of Nebraska, Kansas and
Dakota. The marks OF, their former
presence are found occasionally among
the Nlobrara, on the Upper Loup, and
| especially along the valley of the R~pub-
llcan and It's tributaries. In 1868 I
found some extinct tubes of old geysers
on the Bazile and between that stream
and the north fork of the Elkhorn. In
the summer of 1874, while examining
q section Of country between the Platte
and Frenchman's Fork, [ occasionally
came across deposits Of geyserite near
and along the latter river. Afterward
observed them between the Beaver and
the Republican, and along the latter
river to the west line of the state
have recently had conversation with
Mr.. Frank M. Bininney, of Tecumseh,
who is well acquainted with the Repub-
lican region further east, and between it
and the Solomon. He reports the pres
ence of the mineral geyser1te in count
less places: also, of old furnel-tubes of
geyser, some of which are exposed in
excavations, and occasionally lin we'll

THE LOVE THAT LASTED.
A Romantic Kentucky Wedding
Cincinnati ENQUIRER, 9Th,


The following rom antic story shows
that the adage, "the course of true love
never runs smooth is as true now as
when first written
len years ago, IN Lewis county, Ken
lucky, a young lawyer named Phil
Hodge married Miss Addie Sillet
amid flowers, music and hearty con-
CALCULATIONS of friends. When the
guests had departed, Hodge went to
the bridal chamber, where he remained
during the night. At early dawn he
left the house, and in passing out he met
a servant of his wife's father, to whom
he said, 'Tell your master | am gone
forever" The neW-made father-in-law
upon receiving the message, hurried to
his daughters room, where, to his
amazement, he found her still in her
wedding robes, with hair disheveled
and veil torn of, and in a state of great
excitement. A severe spell of fever
followed, n but never in, her widest
delrium did she betrav the cause of
her agony, and thus it has remained
theme of conjuncture ever since. Toa
friend the other day she for the, first
time told the cause. Here is the story:
II Lon Foliet and [ have been raised
together. [ had received most marked
attention from him. but ! never
dreamed of marrying him, for he had
a mother and sister depending upon
him for a livelihood. Phil Hodge. who
| only knew g few years, courted me.
| accepted him, and my admiration for
him tempted me to believe | loved'him.
The night Of our wedding, Lon and /
were sitting little apart from the
crowd, our conversation was only Of
ourselves, and confess [ then felt Lon
loved me, and be IVES more
necessary to my happiness than
J. had ever dreamed. Phil
Hodge overheard a few words and
saw our earnest manner. When he
came to my room he found me dressed
still as 1 was when [ left the parlor, and
showing his surprise asked me What
was the matter with me ?" To which /
answered as indifferently as possible,
Nothing" We exchanged several COM
mon-place remarks, after which he
asked me quite harshly. 'Addie. did
Lon Foliet ever tell you he loved your"
[ answered "No." ".What was your
conversation tonight" His eyes were
upon me, dare not tell aught but the
truth, they seemed to pierce me
through | told the whole truth, and
when had finished, he said with cold
ness, calmness and stubborn resolution,
"Addie, you love Lon Foliet; he shall
marry you; we will never meet again.
[ begged him on my knees not to leave
me, BUTT was of no avail. When the
dawn came, he arose, kissed me good
by, and with "God bless you," passed
out from me forever. My feelings were
indescribabie, the room was horrible III
its darkness, my mind lost its reasoning
powers. and thus I passed many weeks.
Through mutual friend heard Of him
often, of his wanderings, desolate life
and death upon the frontier. Well have
our blighted lives paid the penalty of a
false step. When Lon heard of his
death he came immediately to see me.
1 refused to see him; then he wrote me
a long letter telling of his love, his never
forgetting me an hour these long years,
and | have consented to marry him
but we will not meet till our wedding

How Wildcat Bank was Saved in

"a g Y esterday," said gentleman to a
Neacs reporter, resumption began. By
the way, we've learned something about
money In this country during the past
twenty years. / remember 1867 with
its wildcat banks and its genel ally
crazy system Of banking. Banks were
blished in out-of-the-way places,
and bank paper was plenty. The late
Andrew Wilson had a bank at Nash
vile, in the wilds of Brown county,
more than twenty miles, across hills and
the ruggedest roads, from any railway
One day Mr. Wilson casually learned
that a large amount of his bills had been
gobbled up in Cincinnati, and carpet
Dagger would sweep down on him in a
few days for coin. The time was too
brief to allow him to get gold or silver,
and lie was In great trouble. The dread
ed visitor appeared at the bank, and at
the same time a happy thought came
to the. banker. Leaving his clerk to
engage the stranger, he rushed out, went
up a flight Of back stairs into the office
of the only notary. in the town, and
finding that functionary out, he pocket
ed the notarial seal and walked off. He
then boldly refused payment, and the
stranger took the paper out to find a
notary and make the proper protest.
No seal, and with this i'm portant attach
ment to the legal red tape absent, moth

at least a week TO communicate with
indianapolis and replace the lost seal.
So the carpet-bagger ambled off, and

spite to put his affairs in ORDER -

What Pity

The Boston Traveller announces that
ga good many ladies who wish to dress
plainly and neatly, and have been in
the habit of wearing black, ar e disturb
ed by the fact that what are known as
ssales ladies' shop-girls, and upper-ser-
wants dress in a4style.so much like their
own, and are wondering whether thew
can not adopt some other color, such as
prune, garnet, brown, navy-blue, bottle
green or wine color, and thus avoid the
danger of being mistaken for one of
the working-clas." 1t certainly would
be a terrible thing, thing if a "lady,'
should be mistaken for a "person Of
the working Glass;" wouldn'tiit? saHL }g

An AriStOcratic Actress.

The London Era says: ave have
been particularly requested to make it
known that the appearance Of a lady of
quality under an assumed name at one
Of the West End theatres is an impu-
dent attempt to annoy her relatives, and
direct violation Of the terms of agree
ment entered into only six months ago
between her and her husband as the
basis Of an amicable separation.' This
probably refers to Lady Sebright,
daughter Of Lord Castleto wn. who has
for some time been very prominent as
an amateur actress on the boards of
public theatres. Lady Sebright is of
very erratu disposition.

GRANTS HARD TIMES.
Interview With Him When Farmer
II Near St. Louis.

A Brooklyn reporter has been con-
versing with Col. William Craig, late Of
the regular army and now Of New
Mexico. The colonel was sent from
Santa Fe to ST. Louis, in 1853, by Col.
Garland, of the army in which Ulysses
S. Grant seved during the Mexican war.
Col. Craig stopped at Kirkwood, a SUI
burban town near st. Louis, and was
speedily waited upon by a stranger:
Il walked out TO the front Of the
house, and there sat, leaning forward
on his elbow, very poor and discour~
aged specimen of mankind. He wore
suit of common jeans. His face was
very red, as if from exposure or posi-
bly, rotations. He rode a little bay
mare with cookie burs all through her
tail and name. [ felt a very little in
terest, as you may suppose, in this per-
son, and | had heard that Grant had
been living very hard life. p II 1gaG
Lieutenant" said Grant, I was down
at my farm this morning, thinking
about getting something to do, and it
struck me that as you were here from
Garland's department l might get you
to take me back with you. Garland
knows me very we'll, and even if you
could not do something for me, | am
sure he would when [ got out there. |
have had pretty hard time. have
tried almost everything. My last at.
tempt has been to farm down here
among the jack oaks. However, the
land is very poor among these Missouri
jack oaks, and 1 can't get much out
of it," u as5oi
Grants appearance" said Lieut..
Craig, ''was so much against MIN, that
[ did not ask him to get off his horse,

enough with the regulations of the
service to see that can'G take into pub
lie employment any civilian. Anybody
who is hired by the government has
TO come in, you know, as an enlisted
person."
"Well," said Grant. eff I could get
down to Garland in almost any capacity

The late Princess Alice was noted as
the pensive, deep-thoughted and philo-
sophical member Of the family. The
days and hours Of her life which were
not absorbed by family affections and
works Of mercy and kindness, were
spent in meditation, reading, intellectu-
al conversation, and correspondence
with great thinkers. Her voice is des-
cribed as possessing a "singularly pen
etrating sweetness that fell like music
on the ear" She read Plato with con-
slant devotion; and while no flight of
philosophy was too high for her to fol-
low, she was wholly free from intellect
ual pride and that unfeminine harsh
ness that so often comes of women
breaking their heads against metaphys-
ical systems. She entertained a high
regard for the scholarship and original
research Of DR.. St rauss, and fully SYM
pathized with his conception of Chris
SANITY as the sublime emancipation Of
the heart and soul of pagan Antiquity
as the elimination of Greek civilization,
Jewish patriotism and Asiatic inspira-
tomas the bridge which connected to-
gether the hard intellectualism and
practical common sense Of the West
with the religious impulse and vague
dreamlness of the East. Through DIR.
Strauss she became acquainted with the
writings of Emerson, and the purest
and best philosophical writings Of Ger
many and France.

mysterious malady which effects every
body. whether citizen or stranger. 1t is
a dry, eating sore or ulcer, which
comes generally upon the face, lasts for
a year. and then goes away forever,
leaving a scar about the size and shape
of a date. The cheek OF nearly every

shows the mark, as though scared with
a hot iron. No treatment, no ointment
or medicine has the slightest effect up
on it. The cause of this peculiar and
disagreeahle ailment has not yet been

been that it is the quality oi

after their arrival.
