A YoUNG BRIDES SUIcIDE.-Atabout
noon or Tuesday Mrs. Agnes Sneathen,
wife of Walter Sneathen, shot herself
at her boarding house, 1873 Second
avenue Pittsburg. Mrs. Sneathen had
been married about four months. In
the morning she seemed to be in very
happy frame of mind, and was busily
engaged in arranging some of her we'd
ding presents and clothing which she
had broughtin from the East End, where
she and her husband had been living un-
til within q week or two. She called in
some of the ladies boarding at the house
and spoke of arrangements she was max
ing to 60 to housekeeping. Alter fixing
her room, which was Immediately in the
rear of the parlor on the first floor, she
began to dress for dinner, and seemed to
be unusually particular in her toilet.
Just as dinner was announced lady
in the dining room heard report like a
pistol, and, thinking it might be piece
of slate in the parlor fire, started to see
whether any Goals had shot out on the
carpet. She had taken few steps only
toward the parlor when Mr.. Sneathen
opened .he door and asked who had been
shot. The lady said she supposed it was
piece of slate. Mr.. Sneathen then
opened the door of his room, and, seeing
his wife across the bed, exclaimed, ooh,
my God, it's my wife" The lady whom
he addressed ran to the door, but Mrs.
Sneathen was lying so quietly that she
thought she was sleeping. When the
curtain was raised she saw blood on the
bed and pistol lying by the side of the
PROSTATE woman. Sneathen was so
crazed by the sight that he seized the
revolver, and pressing it against his side
attempted to shoot himself. Miss Best,
lady boarder, who had been attracted
to the room by the screams, caught his
hand, and wrestling the weapon from him
ran up stairs and hid it in her room.
Mrs. Sneathen was an unusually pretty
girl, about eighteen years old, and be-
longed to wealthy family in East End.
Her husband also belongs to a wealthy
family, and is only 90 years of age.
There is no possible cause known for the
suicide. There had been family troubles
at the time of her marriage, but they
were all over, and everything looked
brig to the young couple.-Richmond

- Hon. Horatio Seymour, of New
York, recently made up statement of
the size Of our cities as compared with
those of European countries, in or
der to show the benefits Of free trade be-
tween the different States of the Union.
From the table compiled by Mr.. Seymour
it is found that Of cities having a popula-
ton over GOO, 900 the United States have
one, France one, Germany one Austria
one. Of cities having more than 100000
inhabitants the United States have two
and each of the other countries one. Of
cities more than 100000 inhabitants the
United States have five, the other coun-
tries only one each. OF cities Of more
than 100000 the United States have
eight, France three and Germany and
and Austria one each. With regard TO
cities of over 100000 inhabitants the
comparison is still more strongly in our
favor, the United States having nineteen,
to Frances nine, Germanys nine and
Austria's three. No comparison is in
stitutcd with Great Britain because no
city can compare with London.

The construction of the projected line
from Greenwood to Augusta will shorten
the distance from Charleston to Walhalla
by about fifty miles, making the distance
from Charleston to Cincinnati by the
Blue Ridge route 692 miles.
The committee are we'll aware that
Charleston cannot expect to achieve
without difficulty the commanding posi-
ton which should be hers. Other and
rival cities are vigorously at work. In
most of the recent combinations which
have been made Charleston is not coa-
sidered. 1t will be a work of time and

that their interests lie in this direction,

is such an exhibit of Charlestons, position

On my return from Baltimore I bought

WHY A LAWYER WANTED TO FIRE
SIX SHOTS INTO A MEDICAL MAN
Some time ago patent medicine man
of St. Louis wrote a confidential letter to
young man iu this city, requesting him
to send the names of all the very feshy
men of Little Rock. The young man
with full appreciation of happy plan
suddenly struck upon, sent the names Of
all the very lean men in town. The ef-
feet was very decisive. A short time
afterwards prominent lawyer, whose
leanness has ever been a subject of re-
mark, received Letter, which read:
"DEAR SIR: Our American anti-fat
remedy will whittle the stomach from
you in six days. Send us twenty-five
cents"
The letter was thrown aside, not with
out few expressions of ingratitude.
The next mail brought another letter,
with the following contents:
"Dear Sir: Ifyou have decided TO sur
render your paunch, send us the twenty
five cents"
By this time the gentleman was warm.
He cursed all the patent medicine men
in the world. Several days after this q
boy came to the office and handed the
lawyer letter. On the envelope was
written: "Opened by mistake, Miss
Jackson" The lawyer took the letter
aud read:
"Dear sir: We are sorry that your alb
dominal proturberance is giving you so
much trouble. This is your own fault,
for our American antifat will act like
drawing-kn knife in whiting you down."
The lawyer sat for fifteen minutes in
deep meditation. He was disturbed by
the entrance of q lean minister, who drew
letter from his pocket and handing it
to the lawyer remarked: II don't under
stand this" The letter read: "Dear
Sir: Don't feel that you are always u u
he burden to yourself We can boil
off your stomach until you'll be rs trim as
racer. Mia prominent lawyer OF
your city, who, as you know, is a per.
feet mountain Of flesh, is being treated
by us."
The lawyer didn't say word, but
when the minister had gone he addressed
the following letter to the st. Louis doc
tor "If you ever send me another one
of your diabolical documents, III stick a
shooter down your throat and fire
every shot into your internal stomach. y
The doctor has stopped writing.-LWtt

GRATEFUL WoMEN.-None receive SO
much benefit, and none are so profound
ly grateful and show such all interest in
recommending Hop Bitters as women.
1t is the cnly remedy peculiarly adapted
to the many ills the sex is almost univcr-
sally subject to. Chills and fever, indi-
gnstion or dc.angcd liver, constant or
periodical sick headaches, weakness in
the back or kidneys, pain in the
shoulders and different parts of the body,
a feeling of lassitude and dependency,
are all readily removed by these Bitters.

A VERITABLE WoNDER.-We had a
call last Thursday from Mr.. H. T. Mills,
until recently a resident Of this county
and vicinity, now living on his wfarm
about three and half miles northwest
of Burr Oak. MIR. Mills had in his pos
session, and produced for our inspection,
a respectable sized lump of sugar. which
he stated he had made from water caught
as it ran from living spring upon his
place. The process of manufacture was
similar to that by which maple sugar is
procured from the sap of the maple tree,
namely, by boiling it down." This ex-
pertinent was made last Sunday, and the
amount of sugar "tried out" from three
gallons of pure spring water was one and
a half pounds.
Mr.. Mills had his attention called to
the peculiar quality of the water of this
spring by the fact that his cattle have re-
fused to drink it, and then by personal
"sampling," its sweetness inducing him
to try the experiment of sugar making
from such singular material, with the re-
suit stated.
We tasted the sugar-which has al
most the Identical appearance of maple
and were struck with its similarity of
taste, also, to that common luxury.
There is enough difference, however,
both in appearance and taste, to convince
one that it is not maple, but that it is an
excellent quality of sugar, with strong
maple favor, one is forced 10 believe.
We consider Mr.. Mills a truthful, honor
able gentleman, and as he showed it and
explained the circumstances without re-
serve, or the slightest appearance of de.
ception, we cannot believe he has pur-
posely manufactured hoax for tho
amusement of the over credulous.
Here is another nut for science to
crack. The question naturally arises,
what is the character and condition of
the soil which gave forth continual
supply of "sap"-which cattle refuse be.
cause they don't like syrup? 1t is pre-
sumable that Mr. Mills will investigate
this matter, and if the interesting expert
ment narrated above is but the introduce
tion to discovery Of inexaustable lakes of
classes" down in the depths of old earth,
Nature will have given another evidence
of her goodness. Science will run its
fgurative hands through the hairs of its
fgurative head and dream o. nights of
the wonderful discovery, and-perhaps
Brother Mills will in due time be-
come "bloated bondholder. Concordia

SUICIDE. Uber Poro, living on North Bend
nue., committed suicide by hanging, Monday
morning, under the following circumstances
At about six o'clock and before breakfast he
went out to feed his horse, which was kept
in the barn of TouisSant Vincent, corner Of
North Bend street and Elmwood avenue.
Not returning, at about 10 o'clock his eight
year-old son went in search of him and found
him hanging in the barn, dead. y narrow
leather strap formed the halter and the moose
was so low that the unfortunate mans knees
almost touched the ground, so that he must
have died slow and dreadful death by
strangulation. All attempts at rcsuscitation
were of course useless, and the body was
taken to the house 10 await burial One of
the saddest scenes there was the attempt of
a little daughter, too young to comprehend
the mystery of death, with cries and en-
treaties TO awaken her father from what she
supposed was sleep.
Poro was about fifty years of age, kind
of horse jockey by occupation, and leaves
wife and seven children, four of whom are
married. No cause whatever can be assign
ed for his suicide, as he had not been drink
ing, had had no family trouble, and when
last seen alive was in excellent spirits. This
is the second suicide in the family, his
brother-in-law not long ago having cut his
own throat
