KILLED BY SILENCE.
Married for Money Hated for ugli-
ness A Noble Woman's Horrible
nanta,
Boston Herald.

Death,
Boston Herald
Assassination by silence" is the
latest Gallicism. 1t was the verdict of
the medical men and of society in the
case of q French woman recently de-
ceased, and a Cnroner's Jury would
probably have rendered the same YER
dict if the case had not been kept from
the Coroner. Noble by birth she was,
and very rich; but she was hopelessly
plain, ugly of fes ture, and hump-back-
ed Her husband, duke, married her
for her money and hated her for her
ugliness. A fortnight after her wedding
her martyrdom began, but not as other
coniugal martyrdoms have done. The
duke iavished attentions on her-in
public; he was Observation-Disclosures the
servants; it was darling and beloved"
and my little cat'-when any one was
present; but in private changed, and
only one old nurse was in the secret.
He pretended to be jealous of her, and
so played the Othello. He had the
hinges of all the door so carefully oiled
that they could be opened without q
creak, the domestics were trained to
move about noiselessly, snares were
set in the vast garden of their hotel So
that never the chirp Of sparrow was
heard. The poor woman was forced to
live IN the midst of silence, and when
they went together into society he
scowled so fearfully at every one who
approached his wife to speak to her
that little by little people ceased to
make the effort. And then, after they
had returned and she had gone to bed,
he would enter with list shoes on his
feet, so as not to announce his coming,
and would simulate q scene of jealousy.
That is to say, he would pace up and
down like one in fury who is about
to burst into reproaches; words Of anger
would seem on the point of issuing
from his mouth; then he would stop by
the bedside and raise his hand in threats,
but he never struck, he never spoke,
and resuming his walk would go through
the same scene over and over again
until, overcome by fatigue and horror,
the duchess, swooned. Every night for
ten years his victim watched for men,
aces which he seemed about to proffer,
but to which he never gave vent. The
doctors were summoned at last, but
the utmost they could say was that
they were i'll the presence of some
horrible mystery, which could not be
fathomed without killing the husband.
And when the poor woman died and
the old nurse told her story they rem
dered the verdict above recorded.

SOCIETY at Long Branch is gossiping
over the hasty marriage of Louis Mills
and Miss K. L. Lsty, Of Brooklyn, owing
to their having missed the last train on
Saturday evening. The case was referred
TO ex Senator Thurman and Sam Ward,
who urged that matrimony was the proper
solution of the difficulty.
In suit brought by the Denver, Utah
and Pacific company against the Long
mont road, it is alleged that the latter is
bonded for $444 600, when its total value
is not over 800, 600, and that the expenses
of the concern are more than 1900 per
day, while its receipts are not $50. Trains
have been discontinued. Among those
yictimized are ex-Mayor Prince and Judge
Abbott, of Boston.
THE republican state convention of In
diana was presided over by ex-Secretary
Thompson. The present minor state Of
fcers were unanimously renominated,
and the course of President Arthur, Sem
ator Harrison, and Governor Porter was
warmly Endorsed. The platform adopted
favors the submission of the pending
constitutional amendments at specia
election.

What a Wyoming Man saw.

A Wyoming man saw Texas steer
standing on the railroad track, and
knowing that the express train was due,
he tried to induce the beast TO move.
Several pieces of board thrown at the
ferocious monster failed to move 1t,
until at last, as the train rushed down
the track at lightning speed, he seized
the steer by the tail and twisted it like
a wet towel At this moment the train
struck them both, and the result was
stupendous. The steer was found two
days afterward browsing peacefully IN
a corniield with two driving wheels
hung on his horns. No trace of either
the man or the engine has been heard
Of since Edsq Liar.

Fair Hopes Blasted.
From The Eeonornist.

On january 81, 1882, the sheriff of
Mariposa county, Cal, sold at auction,
to satisfy judgment, the Mariposa es-
tate OF 1900 acres of land for the sum
of 1901 GA SO. The stock and bond
holders, under the law of California,
had six months time in which to re-
deem the property, by paying the
judgment and costs of process and
sale.
The time allowed for redemption ex-
pired on Friday last, the 21st inst, and
those interested having failed to re-
deem, the property has passed into the
possession Of the late purchasers at the
sheriff's sale, and the stock and bond
holders have new lost all right and
claim to what was at one time very
valuable property.

DE LEsSEPs AND THE TURKS.
CoNsrANTNoPLE, Aug. 12-De Les
seps' influence with the porte is believ-
ed to DE growing. 1t is understood the
sultan accepts his statements as being
inspired by France, in way not who'll
ly Objectionable to Germany. There
appears to be no doubt the orders post
poning the departure for Egypt of Ser
yer Pasha and Dervish Pasha were Sc
cured by De Lesseps. Both these
pashas are acknowledged sympathisers
with Arab, and if Turkish troops had
gone to Egypt to be directed by them,
Dervish would undoubtedly have seized
the first opportunity of securing an al
lance with Arab, and would at least
never have done him harm. The Brit
ish government knew this, and
as an act of intimidation threatened
to resist the landing of Turkish troops
unless the porte agreed to order them
to be placed under British military
protection. This the porte would not
promise to do, although ostensibly
continuing preparations to send trrops.
De Lesseps, fearing a fatal re-
suit of this complication would
be general attack on the canal
by native troops, attempted, with sue
cess, to delay the departures of Dervish
and Server Pashas. He to-day had
laid before the sultan great batch of
correspondence which he had with in
fluential Egyptians, all of which goes
to establish the fact that the national
party in Egypt is much stronger than
has been supposed-that it is united in
Arabs support, and will resist British
invasion over every foot of the coun-
try.

formal and indignant protest against

this, as the prize fighter is as brutal and
savage as any other animal, and the
business falls within the specially of MI
Bergh, who calls attention to the fact
that while cock fighting and dog-hght

We understand that the flying

worth of the peoples nicksls and
dimes on the day of the show. If
we would only stop and think,
what great good we might accom-
plish by contributing the money
that is spent for such foolishness TO
charitable objects or public institu-.
tions. But many of US had rather
throw a dollar away in this manner
than to drop a dime into the con
tribution box. 1t always has been
so and always will be. On the same
day the big show took between
three and four thousand dollars, and
the theatre something over hun
dred, to say nothing of the amount
speDt for whisky, ETC., etc. The
sum Of these amounts, spent in the
main by the Woodworking people,
in a manner that profited nothing,

pickpockets in the crowd about
Sells Bros ticket wagon. One old
gentleman came to town that morn
ing with no intention of going to
the show, but under the inspiration
of the splendid music made in the
street parade followed the crowd to
where the canvass was stretched,
bought a ticket and was about to
enter when some one near com
planned that he had lost his pocket
book. The old gentleman soon dis
covered that he himself had been
robbed of $107, the proceeds of his
hard earnings on the farm. Sever
al others were served in the same
way. Better lock your money in a
safe before you start to big show,
and then stay at home and guard 1t.
