The Bride of Lammermoor was indulgently
treated in comparison with Chinese woman
who turned up her nose at man whom the
family authorities recommended as husband.
In most countries the consoling feature OF
widowhood is its delightful freedom. Not so
IN China Thus last June, Mr. Morgan OF the
custom house, lIankow, while enjoying his
evening cheroot on a steamship. saw two chi
nese men actively engaged in drowning wo'
man, whom he proceeded to rescue. She de
precated his benevolent energy, and explained
that her fate was sealed, and that she might as
well die then as at any other time. Next day
the men succeeded in drowning her eilectual-
". Her offence was refusal, she beng young
and blooming widow, TO marry an old man,
Her brothers-lnaw were the drowners, and
mildly demonstrated with Mr.. Morgan on his
interference.

Elgn has woman whom the Ners terms
female Guiteau, and this Is what she did yes
terday, as told by the Ne1os: "She saw fit to
make of herselfa female Guiteau, and is now
suffering a severe penalty for her causeless ex,
hibtion of depravity The Neios put up over
the entrance to its Office large engraving OF
the deceased president draped in mourning
and surmounted by the flag of our country
Scarcely had the picture been hung In its place
before the female Guiteau mentioned pushed
it violently from its fastenings to the steps be,
low. An angry crowd of citizens gathered
and rained denunciations without STINT upon
her. The picture was replaced and the female
was notified by Captain Tucker, her landlord
in the presence of a witness, that she must
leave the room forthwith. He could not and
would not be a silent witness to her wanton
insults of the memory of the nations dead
The only reason che assigned for the traitor
Gus and unnatural act was the assertion tina
the picture shut off her view of the street"

WASHINGTON, sept. 20 Steward Crump
until the Presidents removal to Long Branch
was one of his faithful nurses. "lle was al
ways so cheerful," SAID Mr.. Crump, and had
so much nerve. Why, he used to astonish me
with his Jokes, even while he was suffering
horribly Suffer? / should say he did. The
first week or ten days it was his feet. He KEEP,
saying oh, my God. My feet feel as though
millions Of needles were being run through

that seemed the only relief he could get
THE day he was shot. and on Sunday, he
kept talking all the time, but on Monday he
was more quiet, and then on Tuesday morn
ing the doctors shut down on his talking.
Sunday morning, just after the big crowd OF
doctors had cleared out, was alone with the
President and Dr. Bliss The doctor sat on
one side of the bed and | was on the other.
President Garfield had hold of DR.. Blisss
hand and turned his head and asked me if |
knew where he first saw DR.. Bliss. | SAID
did not, and he said he would tell me. He
said that when he was yOungster and started
for the college at Hiram he had just $l5-a
ten dollar bill which was in the breast pocket
of his coat and a five in his trousers pocket.
He said he was footing IL up the road, and as
the day was hot he took off his coat and car
ried it on his arm, taking good care 10 feel
every moment or two for the pocketbook; for
the hard earned SIS was to pay his entrance
fee to the college. After a while he got to
thinking what college lite would be like, and
forgot all about the pocketbook for some time,
and when he looked again it was gone. He
went back mournfully along the road, hunting
on both sides for the book After while he
came to house where young man, leaning
over a gate asked him as he came mp what he
was hunting for. Young Garfield explained
his loss and described the property, when the
young man handed 1t over. The President by
this time was laughing, and in conclusion
said, That young man was Bliss, wasn't it
Doctor" The doctor laughed and said Yes :
and when Gen Garfield said, You saved me
for College the doctor answered, Yes, and
NAV be if had not found your ten dollars
you would not have been President OF the
United States The President laughed at that,
and said that if he got well and made any
mistakes in his administration, DR. Bliss would
have to take the blame"

A striking commentary, says writer in
Chambers Journal, on the effect Of cold upon
natives of the tropics is to be found in " My

gineer, was on the Drakenberg with party
of Basutos, and number of prisoners of the
PUTIN tribe who were employed in stoppin G
the passes into Natal.
\ snow.storm with bitter wind came on,
and at once the natives collapsed. The PUTIN
men felt it most. Nothing could induce them
to stir They Int no fires, cooked no food 1t
was impossible to do anything with them even
for their own comfort. AT last, finding that
even when the order was given to march down
INTO the warm valley, they did not move, the
colonel had the tents pulled down over their
heads. Still they lay helpless, crying:
Let US die, 'Nikos; only let us die" The
white men of the party were ordered to force
them out, and they were found perfectly para
lyZed There was no sham about 1T; "thelI
brown skins were white with cold" 1t was
with the greatest difficulty they were got down
the mountain to the valley, where there were
plenty OF old bushmans caves for them to
shelter in.

less able to endure sudden cold than Africans
are. The present writer has known cases OF

AUTUMN.

How dead ripe hang the leaves upon the trees,
While here and there the rustic OF the breeze
Discloses tinge of scarlet or OF gold,
Warning us that the year is growing old!
The purple clusters load the bending vine,
And in the corn field yellow pumpkins shine,
Suggestive of the very best OF pies.
Plump pears and blushing apples feast The eyes
And oh, how yellow seems the golden iight
Poured by the sun DER valley and on height;
While lar Off hills, half hid In haze OF blue,
Give the perfecting finish to the view.
Oh, glorious autumn days! Like wine, drink
Your wondrous beauty. And 1t makes me THINK
It's getting very chill at eve and dawn.
How shall get my overcoat from pawn!

THE CARLEss BRAKEMAN.

My hero was brakeman good,
His name WAS Jacob Klous;
No place could Jacob call his home,
Except the Westinghouse.
He was very sober man,
And scarcely ever spoke;
And though he was a brakeman, still
The pledge he never broke.
Hi. face was sad, as one who had
Within his breast pain;
But Jacob, though he never smiled,
Was always on the train.
he never, as some brakemen do,
Laughed at his living load;
FOR though he rode upon the rail,
Meier rallied he on the road.
To help the girls from Off the car
Jake always was In haste;
He ne'er was known TO waste his time
When be could press vast.
When stationed In the car one day-
de was below her station
He ssw q girl, her station called,
And, with precipitation,
Rushed 10 the steps to help her Off
A step he'd ta'en before
He fell beneath the ear; he was
Not CARTEL as Of yore.
And when they picked up armless Jake
He'd not the heart TO cay,
Dear miss, you loag have had my heart
Accept my arm to-day"
The moral Of this railway tale
IL this-now do not scoff:
II brAkemen will hand on the girls,
Their ewn hands may come of.
