IN ENGLISH WIFEoS ELOPEKENT
WITH a COACHHAN

The elopement of Mrs Gurney with
her groom, which scandalized England
a generation ago, has been paralleled by
the flight of Mrs. Grant, of Bodmin, in
Cornwall, with her coachman. The
Pail Mall Gazette thus recites the case !:
Major and Mrs Grant have lived in
Bodmin since their marriage, five years
ago. They occasionally visit Mr.. Lit
tletOn, Mrs. Grants brother, at his resi-
dence, Trewin ShcYiock, bringing their
coachman with them. 1t was while on
such a visit to Shevilock that the elope-
ment occurred. Maj Grant had been
in tile habit of spending his holidays in
Canada, chiefly for the sport that coup
try affords Occasionally he has been
accompanied by his wife, but on his
last visit to Canada, whence he recently
returned, his wife did not go with him.
On Friday morning last the Major and
Mr.. Littleton went out about o'clock
for a days cub-hunting. Mrs. Grant
seems to have communicated this inten-
ton to the coachman, and soon after
the two gentlemen had set out she and
the cOachman drove off in light carri-
age to TorpoinC. On reaching the fer
ry they alighted and th0coachman gave
an ostler five shillings to take the car
riage back to Trcwin House. The boat
man says that the couple had with them
a box and pOrtmanteau. Mrs. Grant
was wearing an ulster; the coachman
was respectfully dressed" and not in
livery. On getting out of the boat a
cab was called and they were driven off
to Devonport Southwestern station.
Mrs. Grant was married when she was
18 and is now %. Her husband is 40
She leaves behind her two children.
She lately became possessed of a con.
siderable fortune in her own right. |
The coachman is about the same age as
Mrs. Grant and ia said to "a good-look- |
ing man" The police Rave had infOr-
nation of of the elopement, but up to
the present time no news of the ruua-
way has been obtained.

A very good story ig going the rounds
Of the papers in which that very able
greenpack orator, the Rev. De la Matyr,
is the butt. Mr.. De la Matyr, it seems,
was addressing public meeting in
Wisconsin the other day when he made
the imprudeut statement that "no Chris
tian could accept interest on money"
Thereupon & Methodist clergyman in
the audience, the Rev. Mr.. Horton,
arose and asked him, "How about the
parable of the ten talents?" Mr.. De la
Matyr, being himself clergyman,
could not reject the authority referred
to. 1t is said he was considerably stag
gered by the conundrum, and his au-
swer could not be readily hoard by the
reporters.

ROMANCE IN THE DEPARTMENT
A sisterin- law of Dr. Bliss quite re-
Gently made, or rather acknowledged, a
romantic marriage with a gentleman
employed as a sub-dOorkeeper of the
Capitol, who had lost both feet in the
Union army. She was stenographer in
the Patent Office, drawing a salary of
81, 200 year. She lived frugally and
held her place for years, to all appear
ance growing into the gentle, shadow
self-respecting spinsterhOod that so
mauy lady clerks here prefer to COM
mon-place or ill-assorled marriage. A
few months since the gentleman referred
to fell i'll, and to the surprise of her
friends she went to his lodgings aud
took her place at his bedside as his
nurse, acknowledging then that they
had been married more than a year, but
that she had concealed it rather than
forfeit her government position. She
had been gradually laying money by to
purchase the modest, Semi-rural home
of her maternal grandparents, in East
Cleveland, which the remaining heirs
had offered her on terms within the
scope of her ability to comply with by
rigid economy, and the denouement did
not occur, fortunately, till the place
was practically paid for. She then re-
signed her position, continued her du-
ties as nurse, and then took her maIri-
monial prize home to the little ancestral
place she had secured; and we learn she
is very happy in her retirement. Her
husband walks with a cane, a little
slowly and painfully, to be sure, but by
no means Il wreck of a man.

UNCLAIMED MONEY ORDERS.

WHICH NO OWNERS CAN BE FOUND.
Nav York World


WHICH NO OWNERS CAN BE FOUND.
! New York World.
''Is it true" inquired a reporter Of
Postmaster Pearson last week, "that
there are nearly So, ,OOG, 900 in the United
States Sub-Treasury, representing ac-
cumulation from unpaid money orders
for several years back ?"
"Yes," replied the Postmaster. Il
suppose that in round numbers they
hold about that amount belonging to
careless persons whom it is impossible
for us to find"
What do you propose to do with
this money, Mr.. Pearson ?"
Congress will probably be asked at
its next session to make some disposi-
tion of it,"
Why was this not done heretofore ?"
"Well, there is no legal Limitation to
the time when funds of this character
may be accounted for. The Postmaster
cannot tell when the parties to a money
order may correct fatal mistakes in the
order and demand their money. You
know we must always be prepared 10
pay on legal demand"
"Can you give me general idea of
tue way in which such large, unclaim-
ed accumlationso of money comes abouty'
Primarily it is due to lack of
knowledge concerning the operations OF
the law under which the money-srder
system is organized. Then a great
many pOple who understand the pro-
visions of this law are habitually care
less and overlook some of the necessary
details in making cut the ord er. For
Instance, they may get the name of the |
payee wrong, or they may neglect to |
notify him by mail. Then, again, the |
person to whom the money is sent may |
be a travelling man, who has left the |
town where the order is payable and |
who may never return there again. No |
legal provision has been made for adver- |
tising for these people. The individual
amounts which go to make up the large |
sum of unpaid money orders in this |
office are, generally speaking, small,
and have no doubt long been forgotten
by the persons who sent them, as we'll |
as by the persons who were to receive |
them. All post Offices which do a reason
ably fair share of money-order business |
have the same trouble to contend with; |
but some day or other Congress may |
definitely settle postal responsibility in
the matter -

Advices from Mazatlan, Mexico,
give the particulars of Il terrible
hurricane which visited that port on
September 20. 1t lasted from noon
to sunset, and was so violent as to
compel the steamship Sonora, which
was coaling there, to put to sea with
only twelve tons Of coal on board.
Many vessels in the harbor were
wrecked or greatly damaged. The
river rose, and it is said 500 lives
were lost in the neighboring towns
from freshets. Three hundred houses
of all kinds were destroyed.

William r. Hynes, well-known
New York business man, formerly
Of st. Louis, and a large owner of
real estate, met a Groom girl while
visiting in London, whom he lived
with and promised to take as his
wife. He gave her a ring at the
time, and said that he did not be-
lieve in the formalities of marriage
This was in 1871, and the pair lived
together as husband and wife until
Mr.. Hynes's death in 1874. The
sister Of the deceased man obtained
letters of administration on his es-
tate in New York as his nearest
kin. Thereupon Mrs Hynes comes
to New York and began an action
in the Court of Common Pleas to
gain possession of the property.
The verdict being rendered in favor
of the plaintiff, the case was carried
to the Court of Appeals, where the
validity of the marriage was sus-
tanned A new trial was had with
the same result, which was reached
on the 18th.

HORRIBLE CRIME.
THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS AFFAIR THAT
WAS EVER CHRONICLED IN TEXAS.

THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS AFFAIR THAT
WAS EVER CHRONICLED IN TEXAS.
The most horrible crime ever COM
mitted in Texas was perpetrated on the
10Th, near the town Of Breckville. A
family named Sloan had recently moved
into the neighborhOOd to pick cOtron on
the farm of a Mr.. Hill. A dispute arose
between tile SlOans and negro, Lum
by Lum that the Sloan children had
been grabbing peanuts from the hills
Of Lum's patch. Lum went to the house
Of Sloan Tuesday, and wanted to whip
the children, but was prevented by Mrs.
Sloan and her daughter, about fifteen
years Of age. For this he swOre re-
venge. and next morning, upon the plea
that she would show her where some
fine muscadines were, the wife of Lum
enticed the girl to IL deep ravine where
Lum was wal ing. While bis wife held
the girl Lum outraged her, and then
using his pocket knife cut her bowels
open, both lengthwise and crOsswise,
deliberately cutting off pieces of the
en- rails as they protruded, and scatter
ing the fragments far and near. He
then cut the girls throat from ear to ear
and left the b .dy where found. At the
inquest the woman confessed to all the
revolving details, when a young man
named Hart incensed at this cool recital
of the 1endish brutality, shot the negro
man dead. The wife of Lum and an
old negro man who lived with them
were started on their way to Carthage,
but crowd of men met the escort and
took the prisoners and shot them

The following statement of William
J. Coughlin, of Someryille, Mass, is so
remarkable that we beg to ask for it
the attention of our readers. He says:
'sIn the fall of 1876 / was taken with
a violent bleeding of the lungs, followed
by a severe cough. l soon began to
lose my appetite and flesh. I was SO
weak at one time that l could not leave
my bed. In the summer of 1877 | was
admitted to the city hospital. While
there the doctors said / had a hole in
my left lung as big as a half dollar. l
expended over a hundred dollars in
doctors and medicines. l was 80 far
gone at n time a report went around
that l was dead. l gave up hope, but
a friend told me Of DIR. VIM. Halls
Balsam for the Lungs. / laughed at
my friends, thinking that my a was
i%ncurable, but / got a bottle to satisfy
them, when to my surprise and grati6-
| cation, / commenced to feel better.
| Ny hope, once dead, began 10 revive,
and to-day / feel in better spirits than
/ have the past three years.
81 write this hoping you will publish
it, so that every one afflicted with Dis
eased Lungs will be induced to take
DR.. VIM. Halls Balsam for the Lungs,
and be convinced that Consumption
can be cured. / have taken two bot
ties, and can positively say that it has
