BRAVE KATE SHELLY.
AN OHIO GIRLS PERILoUS TRIP
ACROSS A BRIDGE.

The Ogden, Iowa, Reporter says :
On Wednesday night, when O'Neil,
Donahue and Olmstead went down to
death, noble girl, but fifteen years of
age, was watching and praying for
those whose duty called them out over
the railroad in the fearful storm.
Kate Shelly, whose father was killed
on the railroad some years ago, lives
with her mother just on the east side of
the river, and nearly opposite where the
engine made the plunge and Donahue
and Olmstead lost their lives. Miss
Shelly and her mother heard the crash,
and realizing what had happened, Kate
took a lantern, and, amid the hurri-
cane of wind, the deluge of water, the
incessant glare of lightning, and peal
upon peal Of thunder, left her home
and started for the wreck. Her light
soon went out, but she felt her way
through the woods and fallen timbers
to the edge of the dashing waters that
covered the drowned men. She could
hear, above the roar of the tempest, the
voice of Wood, the engineer, who had
caught in tree top. She knew that
the express, with it's load of passen-
gers, was nearly due, and none to warn
them of their danger. She, a young
girl, was the only living being who
could prevent an awful catastrophe.
The telegraph office at MoingOna OF
Boone was the only place where she
could notify the officers. To Boone
was five miles over hills and through
the woods, and before she could get
there the express would have passed.
To Moingona was only mile, but be-
tween her and Moingona was the Des
MOines river, ten or fifteen feet above
its natural height, and to cross this she
must pass over the railroad bridge, 400
feet long, with nothing but the ties
and rails, the wind blowing a gale, and
the foaming, seething, muddy waters
beneath. Not one man in a thousand
but would have shrunk from such
task. Not one man in five hundred
would have gone at any price or under
any circumstances. But this brave,
noble girl, with the nerve of a giant,
gathered about her her flowing skirts,
and on hands and knees crawled over
the long, weary bridge. Tie after tie
was passed. 1t was time for the ex-
press train to come dashing over the
bridge, and to hurl her down to death !
amid the dark and muddy waters of the
roaring rushing river. The blood from
her lacerated knees has stained her
lress, but she does not falter. She
reaches the shore, and the remaining
lalf mile she flies, almost, to the tele-
graph Office. Breathless and in broken
accents, she tells her tale of death and
destruction, and faints in the arms of
he bystanders. The wires were set at
work and a more horrible disaster aver

LOVE, WHIP AND SPUR.
A COUPLE OF CUPID'S VICTIMS TAKE
A WILD RIDE TO FIND
PARSON.

ScOttsville, pretty village about
fifteen miles from the Tennessee line,
is the home Of some of the most aristo-
cratic people i'll Kentucky. 1t is a
place noted for pretty girls and gallant
young NTH, 5tffd ttfff6ffffs al these the
sweetest belle was Miss Ollie Brown
and the handsomest beau Mr.. Joseph
Carpenter. They loved each other unto
desperation. In this case, as in many
others, the only obstacle was parental
objection. Miss Browns mother
positively declared that she was not
old enough to get married, and her
sweetheart's entreaties were in vain.
The young people made one or two in
effectual attempts at elopement, but
they were never once baked in their
determination to carry out the scheme
in the sweet by-and-by. On last Thurs
day young Mr. Carpenter drove in Il
buggy to the residence of his sweet
heart, and once more besOught her
mother to consent to an early wedding.
Mrs. Brown was inexorable. Miss
Brown was fearful and Mr.. Carpenter
excited. At last, when every prayer
had been denied, the young man boldly
put the question to his sweetheart
" Will you go with me, or mind your
mother and remain at home o. The
girl looked up through her tears, first
at her mother and then at her lover.
III go with you,' said she at
length.
''Then come" and with these words
young Carpenter caught his lady-love
in his arms, and, hurrying out of the
house, leaped into the buggy that was
standing in front of the door. The
horse received a smart blow with the
whip and jumped away in dead run.
As soon as Mrs. Brown realized the
situation she screamed for assistance
at the top of her voice. In a few
the little town WAS wild with |
excitement, but the volume of sympa-
thy seemed to be with the young people, |
who had just whirled through the
streets at a terrific rate of speed, taking
the road that led to Gallatin. Tenn.
The mother whose daughter had been
stolen wildly besought somebody to go
in pursuit Of the fugitives and, if
possible, stop the wedding. AT length
Mr.. Manion, young lawyer and Judge
Of the Police Court, consented. In a
few moments he was mounted upon
horse of speed and bottom, rattling out
Of town in the direction taken by the
buggy at pace that would have cap
5ured the gentleman's cup'> at any
'air in the State. From the very start
It was race of whip and spur. The
'ugitives were evidently making for
Esquire Fixes office, which is just
across the Tennessee line, and Judge
Manion was hot upon their trail. 1t

he people who witnessed it. In front

A New Treatment ofDiphtheria.

Halls JourndEOf Health says ''There
are various modes of treatment, some
of them directly opposed to one an
other; but all Of them have repeatedly
failed. Any method which seems
reasonable or plausible is worth trying,
and what purports to be new dis
covery appears to be worthy of con-
sideration. A young man in the West,
whose arm had been amputated, was
recently attacked with the disease
before the limb had healed. To the
surprise of his physician, the matter
incident to diphtheria appeared on the
arm where it had been severed, in
place Of depositing itself, as usual, in
the throat, and the case proved to be
a very mild one. The doctor prOfited
by this strong intimation from nature,
and when next called to visit diph-
theritic patient, blistered his chest.
There most of the deposits showed
themselves, and the patient speedily
recovered. Hence, it IS inferred that
the disorder generally affects the throat
on account of the thinness of its lining,
and not because it is any part Of its
morbid law to do so. When the blister
breaks the epidermis, the tenderness of
that portion of the body draws the
virus in the system thither, instead Of
to the throat, as ordinarily. This may
prove to be of vast advantage to the
medical fraternity. If it should, it
would be only one Of many instances
i'll which, what we call, accident has
revealed more than any amount of
science
The making Of a blister above the
collar bone little to the side of the
wind-pipe, upon either or both sides
for that matter, was tried several years
ago, and will transfer the virus or
poison, from the inside of the throat to
the outside in less than sixty minutes.
This has been tried in the French and
English hospitals and is as nearly a
specific as anything can be. The writer
of this made an application Of it at one
time, while in the woods in northern
Michigan, sixty miles from any settle
ment, drug store, or possibility of get
ting at the ordinarily used remedies.
The subject was bright little fellow
of seven years, and the doctor who saw
him had very little to work with, and
promptly gave the case up. A blister
was put upon both sides of his neck
composed of two parts mustard and
one part cayenne pepper. This was
left on until it was well filed, and in
less than an hour the little fellow was
talking enough to make known that he
could talk. The throat was then
gargled with red pepper and salt, in
troduced by a sponge, and afterwards
by weak solution of cider vinegar.
1t simply proves that diphtheria is
poison, or virus, which turks in the
blood and makes itself shown in the
most sensitive part, where its action
partakes Of that of corrosion, or eating
out of the soft and delicate membranes
of the throat. Draw the poison away
and keep it away, or by the application
of muriate of guinea directly upon the
surface of the throat either one of
these specifics is as nearly specific as
anything which is known to the most
progressive faculty at the presnt day

in which gallant youth sat, with
resolution upon his face and beautiful
girl nestled trustingly by his side.
Perhaps mile in the rear a solitary
horseman, applying whip and spur,
thundered along over the level turnpike.
The buggy had the best of the race and
pulled up in front of Squire Fixes
office, fifteen minutes in the lead of
the man on horseback. The clever
Squire was on the point of pronounc-
ing the words so feverishly awaited by
the young people, when Judge Manion,
riding like professional jockey, bore
down upon the party and signaled the
officer of the law to stop. II object

that she shall not marry. have come
at her bidding'
The young people pleaded, but all to
no purpose. At length Mr.. Carpenter
said, in very simple language eve
will go further. Get in the buggy, my
dear. Judge Manion, you may prepare
for another race. We are off for Gal
latin" The young man meant exactly
what he said and in a few minutes the
race was renewed. The distance to
Gallatin was eighteen miles, but the
buggy horse was staunch and as true
as the love of the young couple he was
drawing. He leaped nimbly away
from the string and once more got the
best of the start. Judge Manion, moth
ing daunted, again took the saddle and
put the spurs to his faithful courser.
For four miles the race was neck-and-
neck, neither entry for the grand prize
tagging; but at the finish Of that
distance the horse under the saddle
cast shoe and stumbled to the ground,
completely exhausted. The buggy then
glided unaccompanied to Gallatin. A
preacher was secured and the wedding
was performed at the principal hotel in
the presence of dozen specially in
vited guests. Louisville Courier Jour

SoLILOQUY OF THE WATERMELON.
I am a lonely watermelon, the first
one of the season. As l sit here in the
market, people come in and thump me,
to see if l am ripe, and then go away.
1t is very sad to be the first water
melon for the summer. Customers
look at me with scared expression of
countenance, and then buy two cucum-
bers and an onion.
Once a bonanza man took out his
check book and asked the market man
how much he wanted for me, and when
he was told he burst into tears and
said he would have to deny himself the
pleasure of a watermelon or put off
going to Europe till next year.
One man who owned 10000 head of
beef, and got the news that the stock
market had gone up cent and half
in Chicago, and he came and asked
what I was worth, intending to have
me put in as setting in shirt stud,
but the price frightened him, and he
went out sadly and bought a line of
ocean steamers.

people look upon me coldly, and pass

gloomy and melancholy.

those who were kind and good to me.
Boys used to come in the silent night
and steal my relatives, and carry them
away and devour them. But even that
was better than to be put in a glass

People who couldn't buy fractional
interest in me come and criticise me
and call me queer. Men who haven't

around and ask the price, and make me
mad.

And again, not many weeks after

NEW WAY OF SENDING MONEY
by MAIL.-Postmaste General James
has, it is said, devised a plan for send
ing small sums of money through the
mails at cheap rate. The device con
sists Of card having three columns
representing dollars, tens and cents.
and the amount to be drawn is desig-
mated by punching out figures. Two
denominations will be issued, one for
all sums within $3.50, and the other for
all sums within $5. The orders will be
payable to bearer, and the post office
will not be responsible for their safe
delivery any more than for fractional
currency, for which they are substi~
tute. The orders will be finely printed
on banknote paper. The postmasters
will sell the S2.50 card for two OF three
cents premium, and will himself punch
out the amount paid and the buyer will
simply enclose the card in his letter.
and the receiver can cash it at any
Office. The postmaster will enter the
amount of the order on a stub, which
will be the only check the department
will need, as the name of the sender
and payee are not entered. In order to
prevent the use of postal orders as cur
rency they are to be redeemable only
for three months from the date of
issue.

to the effect that Madame Gracieuse

WILL S. HAYES of Louisville has
made a small fortune by writing songs.
Among his popular compositions are
"Mollie Darling" f" 9 Norah O'Neil, "
and g Evangeline. But he got no
money from the latter, though it gave
him a start in business. 9 Just before
the war" he says, was with some
young visitors up in Oldham county,
Ky. Among them was beautiful girl
who resembled the ideal pictures of
Longfellow's Evangeline' so closely
that | called her by the name. We
danced at an outdoor frolic, one even
ing, and soon discovered that four of
us could sing together We tried pop
ular quartets, and got along so well
that we became enthusiastic. About
two O'Clock in the morning we started
to walk home. The night was as bright
as day, with the full moon hanging in
the sky, and as we walked we sang.
We sat down in Il nook to rest, and
Eyangeline' began to suggest other
songs to sing. I'll write you song,

before we go home This was agreed
to. On the opposite side of the road

on the top plank Of the fence, and the
notes for four voices on the four planks
beneath. Then we stood off, and sang
it. The girls were delighted, and in
sisted on having Il chorus, so | wrote
the chorus on the planks. Well, we
sang it over and over, and went home
singing it. Next morning Evangeline
came down stairs humming the air, and
asked me to write it out and finish it.

might go down and copy it off the
