The Reason.

A Wittemberg man who had been
many years bachelor suddenly fell a
captive to feminine ingenuity, and at
the age of 60 was led to the altar by a
blushing bride who had reached the
same age, though she was never willing
to confess it. His friends were amazed
at his change of base, and anxiously
inquired how such an event could occur.
"Well," he replied, 81 will tell you
how it happened, could never get a
wife and the lady could never get hus-
band so we married.

Among recent additions to the New
York Museum of Natural History at
Central Park are some enormous bones
found in the ancient seas of Colorado
and Kansas. The sterile lands of Colo
RADIO and the chalky deserts of Kansas
are the beds of those ancient seas, and
the discovery Of innumerable bones and
skeletons in them was originally made
by Professor Marsh and by the late Pro-
fessor Nudge. Crocodile-like reptiles,
from $50 to 200 feet long, must have
swarmed in those great inland seas, for
monster bones which have been found
reveal their size.

Mrs. Drusilla Laha, of Wellfeet,
Mass, is woman for American women
to be proud of. When she was at the
age of twenty-four years, and the mother
of two boys, her husband was brought
home disabled for life, having been res
cued from the wreck of his vessel after
days of terrible suferings. Undismayed,
she started small shop, gradually in
creasing her stock, till she sometimes
took one hundred dollars day over the
counter, and making, for fifty-nine years,
all her trips to Boston for the purchase
of goods in a sail-boat. During all this
time she took care of her sick husband,
who could do nothing at all for himself,
educated her sons, and Started them in
life, and adopted, brought up, and placed
IN good situations twenty orphan boys
and girls besides. Her spare moments
she spent in visiting the sick by day and
watching with them by night, and now
in her ninety-third year she looks back
on life that few can rival.

When Mr.. Disraeli chose his title, he
chose a name of which the local pronun-
citation is beyond doubt 'Beckonsfield.
Nobody in Buckinghamshire, where this
quiet village is situated, ever thinks of
pronouncing the word otherwise. But
it happened that when the new peer had
his first audience of the Queen, her Maj
esty, in addressing him by his title, pro-
nounced it Beeconsfeld. From that mo-
ment local usage and immemorial Gus
tom went for nothing. Lord Beacons-
field gave it to be understood that her
Majesty had settled the matter once for
all. He was too good courtier to dis
pute the royal orthoepy.

The equipage of the Chinese minister
to Great Britain produces considerable
effect, in the present color madness, the
Chinese coaching costume being blue and
yellow satin, the lady in the vehicle be-
ing unsparing in her Oriental finery, and
every known tint being used in the
adornment of the turnout. The Mar
quis Tseng, owner of the gorgeous affair,
speaks five languages, is good billiard
list and master of the piano, a wsighty
essayist, and an accomplished diplomatic.

By the explosion of saleratus factory
near Newark, n. j., three men have just
lost their lives. We are certainly sorry
for this calamity, yet if all the saleratus
in the country could disappear, without
loss of life, there would be cause for gen.
eral rejoicing. 1t has taken more lives
in this country than science has ever
saved. It has permeated our kitchens,
our tables, and our systems, and almost
anything is welcome which will Danish
it from American cookery.

Mile. Bernhard exhibits picture in
the Paris Salon called death and the
Lady" which is decidedly "Frenchy."
The lady, in lilac silk and velvet, with a
little lilac hat on her yellow hair, holds
with one hand purple lily to her heart,
and with the other catches up her train.
Standing between the lady and the rosy
background is skeleton enveloped in
the folds of transparent winding-sheet,
and she gently inclines her head to his
summons, as if it were not altogether
unwelcome, owing to unpaid millinery
bills, or other causes.

Miss Kate Field has gone to England
again, whence she will return in Sep
TENDER to fulfill her platform. engage

Willard Fillmore, who takes particular
interest in its intentions in regard to
American manufactures.

While a person is jonrneying, for in
stance, from Boston to New York, some
200 miles, the planet on which he is
creeping by steam power has travelled
some 100000 miles through space. With
out being physically sensible of it, he
has been moving at the rate of $4,000
miles an hour, more than 1000 miles a
minute. The planet Mercury is even
faster, its speed being 100000 miles an
hour.

SOMETHING FOR ALL.

Nearly 1000 years ago Pliny, the natu-
ralist, wrote that amber was the fossil
resin Of an extinct eone-bearing tree, and
modern science can say but little more of
it, The original amber producing forest
probably reached from Holland over the
German coast, through Siberia and Kam-
schatka, even to North America.

An important Decision.

Judge Thayer in the Common Pleas on
Saturday read an opinion In the equity
suit Of Price ct nj. vs. jerks ct all, which
was argued several days ago. The plain
tiffs ard the holders OF a mortgage, and the
defendants are the assignees for the bene-
ft of the creditors of William Nichols, the
the maker of the mortgage. Tho mort.
gage covered mill with its boiler and
shafting at the corner of Girard avenue
and Franklin street, where Nichols carried
on business rs boisery manufacturer
The point before the Court was whether
the machines worth $4,000, which Mich
OILS, who had made an assignment, claimed
should go to his assignees, to be paid to
his creditors. Judge Thayer decided that
the machinery was not included within the
mortgage, was not part of the freehold,
and tho creditors were accordingly entitled
to 1t. His Honor therefore dissolved the
preliminary injunction which had been en-
tered against the assguees.

Shot Dead by His Brother.

Frank l.. Weaver, thirteen years old,
aud his brother, Harry L., aged nineteen,
of 5l4 Spruce street, were playing in the
saloon of their brother-in-law, Richard
Parke, 2lS south Eleventh street, yester-
day morning, Frank having a black jack
and Harry an old rusty six-shooter of the
pepper-box pattern. The latter amused
himself by swapping the weapon until it
finally exploded, sending u ball through
his brothers heart, killing him instantly
Harry was arrested and locked up at the
Nineteenth district station-house, where
an inquest was held, verdict of acciden-

A Nice Wife.

st. Louis wives must be unusually affec-
'tionate-in a horn. Mrs. Thomas, of that
city, heard pistol fired by her husband in
the next room, at six o'clock in the even
ing, but didn't go in, supposing he was
cleaning the pistol. When she went to bed
at ten o'clock he was lying with his face
toward the wall and was breathing heavily,
still holding the pistol in his hand. Even
then this remarkably cool wife didn't in
vestigate, but supposing it drunken
freak, went to sleep. When she woke up
at five o'clock he was dead, but she only
thought him sound asleep, and didn't find
out till she came to wake him up at nine
O'Clock A. NJ, that he had committed
suicide at six O'Clock the evening before
by shooting himself in the right ear

The EplzootY.

The Philadelphia North american,
says: The epizooty has again made its
appearance in this city, and has begun its
attack upon the horses of the street car
companies. Thus far it has assumed but
mild form, and it is not believed that it
will have the same effect upon the animals
as it did several years ago. A prominent
veterinary surgeon, who is employed by
number of the railway companies states
that ten per cent. of the horses which he
has charge of are already affected, and he
fears that the rain which set in last evening
would increase it to twenty-five per cent.
within the next forty-eight hours. Very
few of the horses are incapacitated for
duty.

A Sad Case.

A Scranton, Pa, dispatch says: A
young woman named Teets was found
dead on Saturday in wretched garret in
Cedar street, in the heart of this city,
where she died of hunger and neglect
Her baby two days old, was discovered be-
side the starved mother. Mrs. Teets hid
her poverty from her neighbors, and sever
al days ago cut off her hair and sold it to
buy food, while her worthless husband was
carousing in saloon. She also sold all her
clothing to sustain life, and the only arti-
Gle of apparel found in her apartment was
an old night dress that was wrapped around
her child.

Months to Cool.

PrrTsBURe, Oct. 5 This morning the
largest casting ever made in this country
was turned out at the Black Diamond
Steel Works, this city. This casting was
an anvil block for seventeen-ton steam
hammer, and its weight was 100 tons.-
Five furnaces were built expressly for
melting the iron, and seven hours were
occupied in running the metal. The ham
mer will be the largest in the country, the
next largest Of ten tons being at Nashua,
N. H. Four months will elapse before the
block will be cool enough to handle.

publican friend of his in Cairo has enlight-
cned his darkeuei understanding as to why
Col. Wm. r. Brown, of Metropolis, has thus

ton is that Sam. Glasstord's vote was the
one which elected Senator David Davis
over John A, Logan in the wiz

is an applicant for the position;
consequently Senator Davis, as in duty
bound, tayors Glassfords appointment in
