A YOUNG WIFE Of IS years made her

A YOUNG WIFE of Is years made her
exit from tins life of troubles and cares,
at PittsbuTg, by means of a revolver
The husband, only two years older, had
agreed with her to DO the same. but she
anticipated his action. An iHvsstiga-
tion brought to light the fact that this
Youthful couple entered into the man led
state against the TemonstUanceS of their
parents, that they had 10 means OF sup
port, and that the dream OF welded bliss
was soon dispelled by the hum-drum of
every day life and the necessities that
come to all, however high or humble
their stations in life may be. The
trouble was that their iueXpeTieuce did
not allow them to meet the ills OF life
as they presented themselves. In
bounded love and seas of affection went
out at the window when want and
trouble entered at the door, and the re-
suit was they broke down under their no
doubt first trials in life. This case al
f0rds another striking Illustration Of the
extreme danger such young people en-
counter in starting out into life without
being aware of the dangers in their way,
and without the means of resisting them
when they arise. The courage which
led this young couple to defy the wishes
of their friends should have been OF the
kind to also enable them to bear up un-
der the difficulties certain to Eeset their
paths. Poverty and disappointment led
them to this sad end. Evidently they
never gave this possible phase of their
married life a thought There are
thousands of others who act with equal
imprudence, and who may, in the end.

II reference 10 the decision rendered
the early part OF last week by the English
House OF Lords against the right of the
Messrs. Collins to the fund in the Bank
OF England. for the purpose Of enabling
them to construct the Madeira and Ma
more rail road in Brazil. the Philadel-
phia TINES says:
No words seem too strong to characterize
the treatment which the Messrs. Collins have
received at the hands Of the English courts
and finally OF the House Of Lords. The last
named body may not know very much OF
law, but it might be supposed to have some
notions OF equity, and it is simply impossible
TO reconcile this diCisi0u with ANYTHING re-
semJiing equity. The decision of the Master
of the Rolls, given in 1877, that the money
resulting from the sale Of the Bolivian bonds
must be applied to the purpose for which
those bonds were granted-the construction
OF the raiirOad-andtO no ether purpose was
not appealed from and il remained undis-
puted In law as it was iudisputable in equity
On the faith Of this decision the Messrs Col
IlnS undertook the contract and began the
WORK, only to be met by refusal of payment
upon grounds which had been repeatedly
and, as Is was supposed, finally decided to
be uutCuable. If this were only an indi-
yidEai hardship, private wrong, it would
attract only passing notice from the public
But it has been impossible to overlook the
Tact tE3t every powerful influence in Lon
dOn-hDancial, social and sDeculatiye-vvas
combined against these contractors on no
other discOvcrable ground than that they
were Americans, who were likely to succeed
where Englishmen had failed and whose
success would draw of to America a large
trade which England had hitherto controlled
Bolivia is a weak nation and can safely be
bullied and robbed, and Brazil is not in n
position to make any effective Uemonstrance
against this sharp practice; but there will
be no hesitation in this country in expressing
= very plain opinion upon what is nothing
less than a breach of national faith and 2
grave national wrong.

The English View of the Edison

The London Standard publishes the following:
Electricians generally entertain the idea that
Mr.. Edison is wrong in attempting to produce

incandescence. 1t will lie seen that Mr.. Edison
still adheres to that method, despite the dis

steady light; but 1t has the drawback OF being
costly. The paper horseshoe and the absence OF
paratus would seem to promise good econOmi-
cal results. We are also told that a simple ma
chile has been devised for the production of the
electric current and win supply about fifty
lamps, the whole affair being suited for do
nestle use. We presume a gas engine will be
necessary to work the dynamO-electric ma
chine. But further details are wanting, both
as to construction and cost. Undoubtedly it
is great point gained to obtain cheap SUBJ
stisute for 1he carbon employed in the Jabloeh-

serious a question; the light being largely

to supplant gas altogether, and perhaps he has

quick burning carbon. Yet there can be little

profit must come from some source, and with
the Jablochkof light it seems to come chiefly

An Arkansas Traveller.

Mr.. Burr, who met with such severe treatment
by the cyclone that passed by this place recent
about two hundred yards from my house when
saw it coming. 1t was in the prairie when saw
1t, and 1t looked like black smoke from large
furnace: Its shape was like funnel. Inside it
was red as fire, and around this was the black
foggy mist. In looking at 1t saw large and
small ttmberS carried along with it. My at
tention was attracted by the roaring, and as
il was coming in the direction of my house,
| ran to it for the purpose OF protest
ing my family. l put my three little
children In side room, among some corn, and
all at once the whole building was crushed TO
the very ground by large trees being blown
against it. 1t blew me about sixty feet, and
when became conscious found myself among
lot or timber and logs, and Sylvester was
lying by my side dead. His head and whole
body were crushed. As was on my way to the
b. use l looked again at the cyclone, when it
was about 100 yards away. and saw it lift and
carry away lot of hogs and a COW. TIE chill
fren. when found, were not more than thirtael
feet from where placed them, but none hurt.
about sixty yards, among lot of lumber My
sister-in-law was carried about fifty feet and
thrown to the ground; her shoulders were
badly bruised. My blacksmith-shop was also
blown fiat to the ground, my bellows en-
tirely destroyed, all my planes, augers,
saws and chisels were carried Off and have not
yet been found, with the exception OF one saw
found mile from my shop, broken In two pieces.
MY wagon was torn up badly, the front wheels
being about sixty yards from where the wagon
stood. lodged against stump; the hind wheels
were both smashed up; the wagon bed has not
yet been found excepting few splinters. All
my bedding and wearing apparel was carried
off and entirely destroyed. i lost all my provi.
sions. Directly in the rear of the wind came a
Hood OF water just like water spout, appearing
TO pour as If from funnel. After the storm
found part of a rubber overcoat, and in the
pocket OF it a pair of ladies' gloves, in my yard.

into my yard by the storm. Where they came
