There are other stepping stones to

Six robbers, armed to teeth, made
their appearance recently at the
castle of noblemau near Barcs, in
Hungary, and by threats obtained
carriage and horses, with which
they at once drove to the barracks
of the Paudours, or Croat regiment.
Here they overpowered the Quarter
master, bound him, and placing him
in the carriage, hurried him off to
neighboring wood. Arrived here
they suspended him to tree, and
pulling out their long knives, pro-
ceeded to cut the skin from his body.
They then sent back the carriage to
it's owner, telling the driver to make
known that they had flayed the Pan
dour officer because, some time be-
fore, be had caused a member of
their band to be shot.

RICHES AND MARRIAGES.

Young men who are waiting to
get rich before they marry, thinking
that money is the grand essential,
will find some food for reflection in
a recent dispatch from Denver,
Colorado. 1t says that the wife of
Lieutenant>Goveruor Tabor, of that
State, has applied to the court for
separate maintsinlpce of $4,000
per year and the use of the mansion
she now occupies in Denver-val-
ued at $4,000, She says her
husband is worth between 81, 000,-
900 and SIS 100000. She was 10,
formed that if she would apply for
an absolute divorce, it would not be
resisted, and that the mansion and
100000 would be paid her, but
she would not do it. This does not
look as if money always carries hap
piness 10 its train.
