Beyond his gray hairs" says the
London Lancet, "Mr. Bright showed
hardly any traces Of timewrought
changes, at the mass meetingat Briming-
ham. He spoke with all his old ease
and grace, and had evidently lost none
OF that sympathetic power by which he
has so repeatedly secured the raptatten-
ton OF vast audiences. For nearly al
hour his voice held out clear and strong,
and only after he had been successfully
calling upon it to carry his words to 90
600 persons for that time did he get
hoarse. To those who recall how Mr..
Bright has twice been laid aside from all
work for considerable periods by serious
illness, it will be particularly gratifying

The Sumter (Ga.) Republican tells of
a bashful youth who fell in love with a
damsel, and after counting her by proxy
made preparations TO marry. The day
was fixed and the guests assembled.
The parson was on hand and the bride
ready. but the room did not material

counting went out, and after looking
around found MIN sitting or lying in q
horse trough. On asking him why he
did not 60 to the house 20 be married
he said: "0h, / can't 60 thar and stand
before them folks" 'Oh, yes, you
can; everybody in there is married but
your girl. Come on" Get her TO

The woman found dead beside the
body OF Horace S. Shepard, in a room
on Twenty-second street, New York,

His father is a clergyman, the Rev. 2. L,
| Shepard, and is the head Of a large
/ school in Saybrook, Conn. A letter ad-
dressed him by his son, and written ten
days ago, declared the purpose OF him
self and his wife, kittC, 70 die together,
and asked hat they be buried in one

that this was at the bottom OF the trag-
edy. To his best friends Shepard's
marriage was unknown.

faith who was looking on at the INNER
sion of a company Of Baptist converts in
an Alabama river the other day, became
so interested in the spectacle as to ven
ture close TO the waters edge. The Of
fciating clergyman, whether through
malice or ignorance will probably never
be known, seized and soused her into
the water before she had time to object.
She came up too much out of breath TO
speak, and under she went again. After
the second dip she emerged, clawing the
air wildly, and shouting: "G'way from
here! Don't you chuck me under ag'in,
you niggerp' But the clergyman was
memorable and sent her 10 the bottom
a third time. When finally she had
escaped from his clutches and stood
dripping upon the shore, she shook her
fist and screamed: "Ob, I'll fix you'll
