A pretty and accomplished girl in
Torriugton, Connecticut, has just
eloped with her fathers coachman,
a full blooded negro, but went
through the ceremony of marriage
with him. She is not a young chick
en- either, being "a years of age.
Her father is wealthy man with
delightful home, and be and her
brother went in pursuit of her to
the town in Massachusetts to which
she fed and tried to persuade her to
return home. She would not listen
to them, and they were compelled to
leave her with her husband in mis-,
cradle shanty. Her home relations
have always been the plessantest
and she has grown up in luxury and
refinement. She evidently thought
life lacked variety and was tired of
it's humdrum and mouotony. If that
is 80, she contrived to obtain the
light and shade at least the shade
very abundantly.

The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back
is occasioned by so many
things. May be caused by
kidney disease, liver COM

rheumatism, dyspepsia over

Whatever thecaus don't
neglect it. Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has

WIND BLOWS
He referred to the secrecy attending the forma.
ton of a conspiracy, and said that after an ex.
haustive inquiry into all the circumstances the
jury must infer whether the evidence leads to no
other fair conclusion than that OF O con.
spiracy He had heard argument dur
ing the trial as to q chain OF circum-
stances being necessary to prove q conspiracy,
and that chain was no stronger than its weakest
link. That was metaphor that was altogether
delusive: When jury had multitude OF facts,
all the circumstances pointing In one direction,
they are more like the vanes upon the public
buildings OF the city. When they saw all these
yaneS pointing in one direction they knew how
the wind blew. II one happened to be old or
rusty, and did not point that way, it did not dis
tain facts in the case that did not point that way
either through defective proof or otherwise. It
was for the Jury to decide whether the prevailing
Indications point SO clearly to conspiracy that
there can be no doubt OF the fact No man was
eveFconvicted except in consequence OF his own
guilt he would have more to say on that point
after while.

A Defenceless Nation.

At the recent gathering of the army
of the Potomac, Rear Admiral Rodg-
ers responded to the toast of the ma
Wy, when he made the following re-
markable statement: so far as
know we have not even one good gun
of modern calibre ashore or afoat, n
the army or in the navy. What is
worse l fear we have no trained arti-
sans nor any FORCES to make guns.
Our old cannons are as obsolete as
the fint-lock musket of 1872, and we
haven't one efficient man of war. J."
General Rosecrans, who sat next the
speaker, suggested that this country
depended on torpedoes. Admiral Rod
gers Immediately took issue with him,
and said that while torpedoes were
not implements of warfare to be
disregarded, they were an utterly un-
reliable power. What amazing con-
fidence the American people have in
their latent power, that in this age of
armored war vessels, gigantic can
mons, and enormous armies, they can
see no necessity for any defence
China to-day is better prepared for
VIZ than the United States, and one
fotilla of gunboats, recently con-
structed on the Clyde for the Chinese
Government, could without any diff
Guilty, take possession of our entire
Pacific coast line, including San Fran
cisco. The whole navy of the Uni
ted States and all it's guns could not
defend the city of the Golden Gate
from the attacks of the Chinese men
of war.-From Demorest's Monthly.
