Alighte exposure to the bad weather, when
the system is out of order, often brings on
a stubborn Cold; the AT ending Cough
irritates the Lungs, and if not properly
treat d, frequently developes a tendency
TO a t%uoerculous condition. To avoid this
danger, those troubled with Colds should
resort at once to DIR. Jayne's Expectorant,
which soon loosens and eradicates Coughs,
soothes and heals inlamed parts, and re-
moves all anxiety by setting the patient
on the way to good health once more.

Her Matrimonial Woes.
New York Special.
The counsel for the defendant asked her:
''How did you meet your husband"
sit was at my cousins house. | was stay
ing there, a young, rich widow from Egypt.
One evening my cousins gave grand party.
There was dancing, but l sat on the sofa
alone. | could not dance because ! was in
mourning and then he came. Some one-I
don't know who-brought him to the sofa
on which / was sitting and introduced him.
He was fresh from the war. He was young
and handsome and of delightful manners.
He made a fool of me, as he has of many
other women Oh! the power that man has
He did not dance that night. All the even
ing he sat there on the sofa with me while
the dancers hurried past and did not heed
us. He stayed till 2 in the morning, when
the party broke up. That was the first
night"
And them"
''The second day he came and told me
about some beautiful pictures he had saved

the pictures; gave him 81, 900 for them, and
also gave him $1,000 to buy some Ottoman

year we were married. You laugh, SIR she

all told it would rival The Thousand and
One Nights of the Arabian tales"
WAS Mr. Ramsden nice man in those
days?'
"Nice Indeed he was. He was a perfect
man. Now, too, he is, if he chooses" she
continued, looking sadly at Mr. Ramsden;
'he can be all that is splendid"
And how long after that did he spend
your fortune?'

MONSTER AEROLITES.


Dallas (Texas) Special.
The following telegram has been received
from Williams's Rranch, Brown county,
dated the 18th: About 3 O clock this morn
ing ponderous meteor fell from the heavens
upon the outskirts of this town, killing
several head of cattle and completely de-
stroying the dwelling house of Martinez
Cara, Mexican herdsman, who, with his
family, consisting ola wife and five children,
was buried beneath this monster meteor.
The greatest CONSERVATION prevails here over
this singular phenomenon, the descent and
shock from which may be compared to the
shock of an earthquake and tine descent of
an immense ball of fire. In shape it re-
sembled somewhat the courthouse at Fort
Worth, and is still hot and
steaming. 1t is imbedded in the
earth probably 200 feet, and towers
above the surface of the earth
about seventy feet, and will cover about one
acre OF ground The conclusion was terrific.
Nearly every window in town was:shattered
to atoms People were hurled violently from
their beds on to the floor Goods in store
houses were thrown from the shelves, and
everything was thrown INTO state of chaos
and confusion No lives were lost as far as
heard from, except the Mexican herdsman
and his family, although several buildings
fell to the ground, and the cattle fled in ter
ror in every direction. The air was filled
with a sulphurous gas, and the widest con-
fusion prevailed, as it was long time before
anybody could even conjecture what it was.
This is undoubtedly one of the largest me-
teors that has ever fallen in Texas, and it has
already been visited by many people, and
will doubtless continue to attract great at
tention for months to come. Great excite
ment prevails, not only here, but all over the
surrounding country, in consequence of this
singular phenomenon.

ST.. LOUIS, April 16.-A dispatch from a re-
liable gentleman at Fort Worth, Tex, to the
Associated Press correspondent here, says the
story of the falling of an immense meteor at

is one of Joe Mulhatton's lies. Mulhatton
is the man who sold the Mammoth Cave to
be shipped to England.
