International Walking Match.

Seldom has New York city witnessed such scenes of excitement as prevailed during the six days international pc
 destrian contest at Gilmore's garden.
 Night after night the immense build ing in which the contest took place WAS packed with eager throngs of men and women, representing every grade of metropolitan society, from the million aire of Fifth avenue to the squalid denizen of the Five Points. Day after day anxious crowds surrounded the bull letin boards which were to be seen at every point, and which gave hourly re- ports of the progress of the match. The whirlwind of excitement which per vaded all quarters extended even to the ladies, hundreds of whom visited Gill more's, watching the walkers for hours at time, and testifying their individual preference by enthusiastically waving their handkerchiefs at sight of their favorites or loading them down with flowers. The match was for Sir John Astley's championship belt and $500 a side, and the contestants were Daniel O'Leasy, of Chicago; Charles Powell, of England Charles A. Hartman, of Boston, and John Ennis, of Chicago.
 y London last year, the conditions being that it should be won three times in succession before becoming the winners property. Having defeated Hughes in 8 match for the belt some time ago, it was only necessary that O'Leary be the victor this time in order to retain permanent possession of the trophy.
 The four men started on their long %rax aI nF o
 dense mass of human beings, whose ter rife struggle for admission almost end ed in riot at the very outset of the match. On the first day Powell cov- cred no miles, Hartman 100 miles,
 Ennis ninety-fve miles, and O'Leary, who had the sympathy of the great ma jority of the spectators, only ninety three miles. The second day Powell eighty-six miles, Ennis seventy eight miles. Confidence in the latter, how ever, was unabated, as it was be- lieved he was husbanding his strength for the last days of the race. But this confidence was misplaced, as on the third day O'Leary left the track after having made 215 miles in all. O'Leary claimed to be utterly exhausted and un- able to proceed further. The sympa- thies of the vast audience were then transferred to Hartman. who had been walking steadily and rapidly with 9 long stride. The third days record showed eighty-si miles for Rowell, eighty-four miles for Hartman and seventy eight miles for Ennis. On the fourth day Harriman's strength gave out, and he accomplished only fifty-fve miles to Rowell's seventy seven miles and Ennis eighty-five miles. Once more the sym pathies of the spectators underwent 8 change, and all looked to Ennis to pre- vent the belt from going back to Eng land by defeating Rowell, whose short, compact figure fitted around the track on an ineessant run that placed mile af- ter mile to his credit. At the close of the fifth day Powell had made sixty eight miles, Ennis sixty-nine miles and

A Town Destroyed by n Flood,

For several days Szegedin. the second commercial town in Hungary, contain ing 1000 inhabitants, had been in im- minent danger of inundation from the river Theiss, which flows through the place. Several large dykes protecting the back of the town had been burst, and the safety of the town then depend ed on the embankment of the Afford rail- way, to strengthen which all efforts were concentrated. At last, however, the water, aided by gale, broke through the embankment, and rushed in broad streams toward the doomed town. The scenes that ensued defy description, for, to add to the situation, the tremen- dous current undermined the founda- tions of the buildings in which the in- habitants lived or had sought shelter, and amid shrieks, cries and frantic ap- peals for aid that it was impossible to render, the structures went crushing into the flood. carrying with them the in mates. Even the synagogue, to which many people had flown for refuge, was not spared by the waters, and fell in, bury ing hundreds in its ruins. The gas works having been submerged, people were left at the mercy of the torrent, unable to perceive what fresh danger threatened them, and in state of prostration from which death would have been a relief.
 At daybreak the town was many feet
 deep in water, and the inhabitants had begun to realize the extent of their ca ; lamity. Here and there a house, less substantial than it's neighbors, tottered and fell with crash; and it frequently happened that at the moment boat was nearing window from which half-dis- tracted people were appealing for aid, the whole edifice would succunlb to the

torrent, amid the piteous shrieks of the inmates. Such of the inhabitants as were so fortunate as to be able to do so fled to New Szegedin and more elevated parts of the town, hurriedly crossing the bridge of boats which separates the new city from the old. As the day wore on whole rows of houses fell, and the flood gained such headway that it submerged fully two-thirds of the town, including the citadel and the post and telegraph offices. Besides the syna- gogue, the orphanage succumbed, bury ing it's inmates in the ruins, and two manufactories were discovered to be in flames. No excesses were observable, however, on the part of the inhabitants, precautionary measures having been taken for the protection of property. During the afternoon the dams were cut in several places to allow the water to run off; the flood was still rushing with an awful roar over the city, and the practical destruction of the town was complete. Happily, how ever, while there was much excite ment there was no disorder, and such of the inhabitants as could be removed were conveyed to place of safety by men who seemed to retain their presence of mind to greater degree than might have been expected.
 Sixty thousand persons were without a roof to cover them. The upper floors of all high houses were crammed with spectators in momentary fear of death.
 One hundred square miles in the vi cinity of Szegedin were flooded and the crops in that district totally ruined.

A Long Time Ont of Work.

He was a stalwart-looking specimen of the genus tramp, with look of semi despair in his eye and road-dust thick upon his tattered clothing. It was a dire tale that he recited to the lady of the house-a tale of hard struggles and hungry children, of losses by fire and flood, and touching "reminiscences of the war, with it's attendant horrors Men," he continued, "and to be thrown out of work just when my young est boy was taken down with the measles, and my wife laid up with the rheuma tism, and Mary hardly over the whoop- ing-cough, and Lucy threatened "- Tho story threatened to be so long that the lady broke in with, You have been thrown out of employment ?" Yes'm, and it has completely stagnated my energies" His was suca a pitiful case that it found it's way to the lady's heart, and also to bountiful lunch. Having absorbed everything edible, the noble hummer tilted back in his chair with on easy. good-natured air born of a good meal, when the lady began, "And so you have been thrown out of employ ment2 How long ago was it?" Rising to his feet, the old look of dejection re turned to his face as he said, "Ten years ago, nom and haven't had the heart to do a stroke of work since. My energies are horribly stagnated, mem ; horribly stagnated r As they separated there was just a suspicion of grin on the tramp's face, and much moro than a suspicion of rage on the lady's.

ADOg that Could Cipher.

The well-known spectroscopist and astronomer, Dr. Huggins, had four footed friend dwelling with him for many years as a regular member of his household, who was a mastiff of very noble proportions by descent, and who bore the great name of Lspler. This dog possessed many rare gifts which had secured for him the admiration and re- gard of large number of scientific &C., quaintances, and among these was one which he was always ready to exercise for the entertainment of visitors. At the close of luncheon or dinner, Kepler used to march gravely and sedately into the room, and set himself down at his masters feet. Dr. Huggins then pro pounded to him series of arithmetical questions, which the dog invariably solved without mistake. Square roots were extracted off f-hand with the utmost readiness and promptness. If asked what was the square root of nine, Rep Ter replied by three barks, or, if the question were the square root of sixteen, by four. Then various questions fol- lowed, in which much more complicated processes were involved-such, for in stance, as "add seven to eight, divide the sum by three and multiply by two. !" To such question as that Kepler gave more consideration, and sometimes hesi- tated in making up his mind as to where bis barks ought finally to stop. Still in the end his decision was always right. The reward for each correct answer was piece of cake, which was held for him during the exercise, but not given until the solution was arrived at.-London Week.

Advantages of "Plain Living"

There are many good reasons for liv- ing on plain, simply-cooked, but nour- ishing food. Variety is necessary; that is, a iudicious mingling of dishes of grains, vegetables, fruits and meats. There need be but a few kinds at one meal if the family are agreed in their tastes. The larger the family, as Q rule, the more need of variety at each meal, that each one may follow natural instinct in selection, as far as can be done with due reference to the rights of others. Plain living reduces not only our expenses, but our labor in the kitchen. Another important thing l have been taught by both reason and experience-plain living reduces our liability to disease of all kinds. As l said recently, there has been but one case of absolute sickness (down sick in bed, undressed all day) in our little family of four children during the more than dozen years since the eldest was born. think this is due to care in re- gard to the general rule of health, as no preventive or curative medicines-not even catnip tea or camphor-have been used. Yesterday daughter complained of Q slight sore throat-a very unusual complaint here-and I felt some little uneasiness, as diphtheria is abroad in this part of the country. But I felt con demned for the dinner of the day before hot bread and pancakes, upon which knew the little girl was eating quite too much butter in melting condition, followed by pumpkin pie, which dis graced me because it was too sweet and spicy for health. She had the good sense tor the cultivated instincD to go without supper last night, and 8 wet cloth on her throat during sleep, covered by dry one, perfected a cure of all sore throat. Children who live habitual- ly on plain fare show evil effects from rich food much more quickly than those who live regularly on the latter, and some suppose this proves that their stomachs are weaker on account of plain living, but think it is because they have Q more correct or healthy tone.- Faith Rochester, in AgricuItHriSt.

4 ROYAL WEDDING.
Marriage of Queen Vlctoria's Third Son tS the Princess Louise Margaret of Prussia.

Marriage of queen VlctorIa's Third Son to
 the Princess Louise Margaret of Prussia.
 Prince Arthur, duke of Connaught, the third son of Queen Victoria, and the Princess Louise Margaret, of Prussia, were married at St. Georges chapel, Windsor, in presence of brilliant as- semblage, which included the queen and several members of the royal fam- fly, the king and queen of Belgium and many German princes. The service was performed by the archbishop of Canter- bury. In the forenoon Windsor was crowded with people. The bride is a niece of the Emperor William and daughter of Prince Frederick Charles, of Prussia, who commanded before Metz in the war between Germany and France. The marriage, which was con- ducted with all the ceremony of state betting the high position of the royal bride and bridegroom, took place about one o'clock. Within the altar rails were the officiating clergy and the bride and bridegroom. Next to them were their respective supporters-the crown prince of Germany and Prince Frederick Charles, of Prussia, for the bride, the prince of Wales and the duke of Edinburgh for the bridegroom. The queen was on the right, near the prince of Wales. The Princess Bea- trice and Prince Albert Victor of Wales were behind her majesty. Next behind them were the princess of Wales, Prince George and the prin- cesses of Wales. The bridesmaids were on the western portion of the dais with the vice-cham erlain and the lord cham berlain on each side. The other royal persons in attendance were seated on each side of the altar. The body of the chapel was occupied by about 150 en- bassadors and foreign ministers with their families, cabinet ministers, mem- bers of the nobility, and distinguished white silk dress trimmed with myrtle flowers, and long vail. The brides maids were similarly attired. The queen wore black corded silk dress, richly embroidered and trimmed, . white vail, tiara of diamonds, cloak of royal ermine, and the insignia of the garter. The princess of Wales wore black dress trimmed with white. and tiara of diamonds. The duke of Con- naught wore the uniform of the Rifle brigade, the prince of Wales the uni form of a field marshal, and the duke of Edinburgh that of an admiral.
 The queens procession left her ma

Words Of Wisdom.

It is fool who praises himself, and a madman who speaks ill of himself.
 A charitable truth, an uncharitable truth, and an unwise managing of truth or love, are all to be avoided by him who would go with right foot in the narrow way.
 You know that it is right heart that in the end makes safe head; and the ancients used to say that the punish ment of knave is that he looses good judgment.
 Men in honoring greatness by erect ing to it monuments, do not pay great ness debt in full of all demands. SO much as acknowledge their continuing obligation to it.
 Fame is not won on downy plumes. nor under canopies. The man who consumes his days without obtaining it, leaves such marks of himself on earth ns smoke in air or foam on water.
 Witty sayings are as easily lost as the pearls slipping off broken string; but a word of kindness is seldom spoken in vain. It is seed which, even when dropped by chance, springs up flower.

Hartman sixty-five. All the energies of the latter were now bent toward making 450 miles, the articles of agree ment making it necessary for each con- testant to accomplish that distance in
 g der to obtain share of the gate- money. Notwithstanding Ennis was twenty-two miles behind Rowell, and the chances for his coming up to the sturdy little Englishman were very slim, the crowd and enthusiasm were as great as ever on the sixth day. Hartman was utterly exhausted, but kept pluckily to work. A great deal of feeling had been engendered in some quarters against Powell, and it was asserted that violence would be resorted to in order to prevent him from winning. He had been hissed repeatedly as we'll as cheered, and extra precautions were taken to see that he received fair treat : ment. But the words of encourage ment with which he cheered Hartman on the last day gained the Englishman numerous friends, and he was vocifer- ously applauded to the end of the race. On the last two days the price of ad- mission had been raised from fifty cents to one dollar, with no apparent diminu- tion in the attendance. The record of the sixth day gives Powell, the winner, seventy two miles, Ennis seventy miles and Hartman sixty miles. Total for six day, Powell, 800 miles; Ennis, 475 miles, and Hartman just the 450 miles necessary to win his share of the gate money. The amount of gate money divided among the three men, after all expenses had been paid, was about $40, 900, of which Rowell got $2O, ,OOO, Ennis, $12, 1000 and Hartman $8,OOO. Among the hundred thousand visitors during the week were Senator Blaine, Sir Edward Thornton, the British min ister, and others well-known throughout the country.

The Only Way.

The only way to cure catarrh is by the use of cleansing and healing lotion, applied to the inf1amed and diseased membrane. Snuffe and fumigators, while affording temporary re- lief, irritate the affected parts and excite a more extended inflammation Besides, no outward applications alone can cure catarrh. The disease originates in vitiated state of the blood, and 8 thorough alternative course of treatment is necessary to remove it from the system. Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy has long been known as an efficient standard remedy for this disease, but, to insure radical and per manent cure, it should be used in conjunction with Dr. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery, the best vegetable alternative yet discovered. The Discovery cleanses the vitiated blood, while the Catarrh Remedy allays the infamma- ton and heals the diseased tissuas

New Saw Machine.

For many years farmers have felt the need of some improvement on the old and laborioue two-handled cross-cut saw, for saving up bodies of trees into any length desired for saw logs, slaves, rails, stove-wood, etc. This long needed improvement has at last been invented by ". W. Giles of Cincinnati, O., who, ty the way, is one of the greatest of American in- ventors. We see from our exchanges that the editor of the Ohio Farmer, also the editor of the 4. c.
