How a Family Circle Melted

The neighbofhcod Of Vance and
Walnut streets was thrown into q
fever eff excitement, Saturday evening,
by rather unusual proceeding on the
part Of Mrs. Mattingly, which sanity

ing on her shoulders for a good long
time. Years ago one Of her daughters
who left the family Preside because it
was too hot for her, was seat to the
Mission Home. Not long since the
Preside grew TOO warm for the other
daughter, owing to the continued
pokings Of the angelic old
lady aforesaid, and she, too, left her
home. The Mission Home and House
Of the Good Shepherd refused to take
charge Of her, and she went out to
work. The lady with the budding
wings was left all alone with her hus-
band. Saturday evening last the fire.
side grew too sulphurous for him and
he sought shelter in a neighboring
saloon. Mrs. Mattingly examined her
wings, and evidently found them about
to bloom, as she calmly announced to
a neighbor, shortly after her husband
had departed, that she had drank an
ounce of laudanum, The neighbor
kindly informed the husband, who
wiuked aud called for another hot gin
sling. The neighborhood was aroused
and the widest excitement prevailed.
Up 10 latest accounts Mrs. Mattinglly's
wings had refused to flap and she still
remained a prisoner upon this terres-
trial sphere. If she drank the lauda-
mum, she must have swallowed the
bottle also, as it could nowhere be
found.
