J. L. Holcomb, a gentleman Of Ken
lucky, but who has been in Crittenden
county, this State, for several months,
tells Of rather remarkable though hardly
unprecedented matrimonial affair which
occurred in that county recently. Out
from the line OF the railroad and aside
from almost any other well-defned mark
of civilization-marks so ill delineated, in
fact. that they are as half-worn date on
an ancient coin-there lived old man
Roseberry and two sons, twins. The age
of the old man is rather doubtful, but is
believed by his near neighbors, the near
est of whom are within a stones throw
that is, if the stone be thrown mile and
a half--that he is about 80. The sons be-
ing twins, are about the same age, q.
The nearest human habitation was house
occupied by Mrs. Green and two daught-
ers, though, pity to say, the daughters
were not twins at the time OF their birth,
and have not yet succeeded in attaining
that point. Mr.. Roseberry fell deeply in
love with Mrs. Green, and the two sons,
Robert and John, fell equally as much 30
with the two daughters, Mary and Rachel.
The most imaginable wholesale love-
making ensued. The old man and widow
seemed devoted to each other, and the
young people were sufficiently to marry,
which they all did on the same day. After
the ceremony the six happy souls and the
six happy bodies repaired to the residence
of the husbands. Everything worked
smoothly. The old man was very kind
to his newly-made daughters, particularly
so to Rachel, the wife of his son John.
The kindness increased and the other
matrimonialists marveled, one to another.
The old man even disregarded the wishes
of his wife, and Rachel snuffed her Gre
clan nose at her Roman-nosed husband.
One morning about two weeks after the
marriage the family of several divisions
discovered that the old man and Rachel
had gone. Searching, and not being able
to find them, but learning from ferry
man that they had crossed the river into
Tennessee, the family returned. Pretty
soon an intimacy sprang up between Rob
ert, Mary's husband, and the old lady.
The old lady was so wise and had had
such broad experience that Robert never
grew tired Of profting by her counsel.
another disaster. Robert and the old lady
ran away, leaving John and Marv, who,
seeing. as they were not blind, that they
were left alone, clasped themselves in low
ing embrace, for it seems they had loved
each other from the first. Did they stay
on the farm? No, sir. There is mort
gage on it. They packed up and, accord
ing to the ferryman, went over to Tennes-
see.

the plains and heads about fifty miles
from Fort Sumner, and inside the New

abundance, also plenty of cottonwood and
cedar timber. They say that small grain

There is a man named Peter Setter now
in the city hospital whose case is very pc
culiar. He goes around with hele in
his throat and windpipe nearly as large
as silver halt-dime, and notwithstand-
ing this, he is to all appearance perfectly

perate attempt to commit suicide, in
which he was nearly successful. He was
led to the act by a business failure and
ration from his wife. Taking a razor, he

the desired effect not having occurred, he
again seized the knife and drew it across
his throat, just under the chin, seveIing
the windpipe and making long and
dangerous cash. He became insensble,
and would have died had he not been dis
covered Ia time. He was sent to the
Philadelphia hospital, where he was at
tended by some of the best physicians Of
the city. After remaining sixteen weeks
he recovered sufficiently to leave. 1t was
considered wonderful cure.
The wound in his neck. however, had
not completely healed. He afterwards
went to Cincinnati, then to Lexing-

to Sarah |. Hale for an interesting sketch
from which we condense the following
statement: Miss Burdett Coutts is the
youngest daughter of Sir Francis Burdett,
Bar, a philanthropist and reformer,
whose political career is well known. Her
mother was Sophia, youngest daughter OF
Thomas Coutts, an opulent banker. She
was born April ., 1914. She was not
educated an expectant heiress, because her
grandfather marrying with Miss Melton,
the actress, and his gift by will Of his whole
fortune TO the comparatively young wife
must have deprived his children Of any
expectancy from the step-mother, who
subsequently married the young Duke Of
st. Adams. But the amiable, affectionate
and interesting Angela Burdett was ever
a favorite with her REORGANIZATION;
and as the latter had no children or near
relations Of her own, she justly determin-
ed the fortune she had received from her
first husband should return to his family,
and wisely selected the youthful Angela
as her heiress, on condition that the heir
ess would assume the additional surname
and arms Of Coutts. which. by royal
license, was permitted. In September,
1897, the subject Of our sketch took the
style and surname. and came into posses

TO public and private charities, she has
built one church that accommodates 1000
persons, and endowed two schools where
40 children are educated.
