WlscOnSln's WOndor,

A strange case has come to light in
Waupina Wisconsin town around which
there still hangs an air of impenetrable
mystery. Every woman is gossiping
about it. Last spring a young woman
named Gertrude Fuller became the
bride of young calling himself
Frank Dubois, and to all outward
appearances they have since lived hap
PLY together. They have gained q
livelihood by painting and other odd
bits OF work, and not even their most
intimate friends have ever thought of
them except as passing quiet, happy
honeymoon at their modest little home.
Last night S. j. Hudson, Of Belvidere,
ILL.,, former resident of Fond du
Lac, Wis, presented himself at their
door and claimed Gertrude Dubois
whilom husband as his wife, who had
deserted him and his two children. The
gossips are greatly excited over the
matter, some gong 50 far as to claim
that the woman herself has been de-
ceived as to the sex of the person she
married. This was the story told by
Il reporter sent out TO investigate it.
Gertrude, in reply to this question,
maintained that the person she lived
"AOl OlllouSh IllC OuilllllOl t lllttil,
and her stepmother upholds her in this
assertion.
Hudson, who lived in Fond du Lac
previous to his departure for Belvidere
early last spring, left here for the for
mer place last night, being unable to
obtain al interview with his wife. He
states that when he left Fond du Lac,
Mrs. Hudson was to follow him, he
having left her a ticket for that pur-
pose, and that he has not seen her
since. Frank Dubois, otherwise Mrs.
Hudson, left here on the noon train
north. Iii spite of the assertions of
Gertrude and his step.mother the
people here believe Dubois to be a
woman. Looking at past events in
the lights Of the present, many little
things, unnoticed at the time, point
directly to this conclusion. There is,
Ill fact, no doubt upon the subject.
and the people. are satisfied that Miss
Fuller's husband Is Mrs. Hudson. Why
the two women should have done so
remarkable q thing as to marry each
other cannot be imagined. Mrs. Hud-
son Is a notwithstanding person, and
1t did not require great deal Of troue
BILE to disguise her 3ex.

Tho Largest Organ IN the World.

The largest organ probably ever con-
structed was lately completed at
Ludwigsburg. 1t is destined for the
Cathedral Church at Riga. There are
in it 1000 pipes, 124 stops, with Pc
dals, &c, proportionately numerous.
A very complete "swell" arrangement
allows the increase and dlminution of
sound to be effected with a singular
perfection and delicacy of effects. The
filling OF the pipes could not be carried
out by organ-blowers, but is effected by
machinery worked by gas engine Of
four-horse power. This organ is 20
metres high, II broad and 10 deep
(about G5t feet, SO feet and 33 feet
respectively. The largest wooden
pipe is 10 meters (322 feet) high, and
its cubic contents are 706 cubic feet,
while by curious contrast the smallest
pipe is made only centimetre and q
half thigh Qittle more than half an inch) ,
and Is attached to the greatest one

Gold in South Wales.

Notwithstanding that the search for
gold has been carried, on for thirty
years in the colony of New South
Wales, h5w fields or new deposits are
continually being discovered, some of
them in localities which were supposed
to have been thoroughly examined.
Some Of the fields recently discovered
promise to equal in extent and richness
any discovered in the early days,
while the oldest fields, though appar-
emily exhausted, 50 tar as the miner,
unaided by capital and skill, is capable
Of exhausting themy yet contain de-
posits Of gold which will yield rich
harvest to the skilled miner who shall
bring to bear upon them appliances
such as are being successfully employed
elsewhere. Gold has always been
found in association with certain for.
nations, and the extent of country
occupied by these is about 10000
square miles, or nearly One-fourth Of
the whole area of the colony--a con.
siderable portion Of which has not yet
been touched by the pick or the mi
ncr.

Howard Paul,

Howard Paul, the well.known en-.
trepreneur, has probably carried one Of
his practical jokes too far. The Joke
OF it is that he did not contemplate
perpetratiug it at all. While in Bos.
ton recently, in reference to the en-
gagement of Mr.. Wyndham and COM
pany at the Bjjou opera house, he vlsi-
ted the great industrial fair, which is
the pride and glory Of Boston. lie was
much attracted by the display of goods
at the tables Of a prominent manufac
turer, and claimed considerable atten-
tion from the young lady in attendance
in examining the SAMPLES, toilet SOAPS
being one of his hobbies (aIthough he
also Includes soft soap in great quanti-
tles). Mr.. Paul thought the young
lady's courtesy needed recognition, and
hesitating to offer her a douceur of
money, he begged her acceptance of
two tickets for the theatre. The young
lady, who was quite beauty, colored,
hesitated and finally declined, but Mr..
Paul insisted. 'Ohl no." she muir

MIR. Paul, "as you may never see me

"Oh," laughed Mr.. Paul, "you want
some references? Oh, I can give you
any number;" and with that he wrote
a list OF dozen or more prominent
gentlemen in Boston and New York.
which seemed satisfactory to the young |
lady. Mr.. Paul thought the matter
ended, but he finds that she has written
a dignified little note to all his friends
he gave rs reference, making the most
careful inquiries regarding him socially
and pecunia1ily. These friends replied
eulogizing Mr.. Paul, hoping thereby to
serve him. Satisfied by these replies

When Women are Sea Slok.

"A ruddy-faced steward sat on the
rall OF an ocean steamer and clicked

CHEEKY.
"Were you ever sea-sick2n asked the
steward.
| ''Oh, yes. I suffered once. pot
over my first attack without much
trouble, however, and have not been

up my mind that anybody could do a
good deal toward preventing sea sick

years.''
You must see some very amusing
cases of sea Sickness
'.'Ihey are seldom amusing to me, ="
said the steward solemnly, "because
they always recall my own experience.
Most cases are pathetic, though |

long vacation, and the longer he makes ii,

How will the King amuse himself in for
elgn parts? He says that he chiefly desires
to explore the seats of ancient civilizations.
Naturally he has taste for ruins. He ex-
pects 10 see many countries where the people
are not prosecuted with railroads and tele-
graph lines. At least this is what he says;
but what he means is that he will see coun-
tries in which Jay Gould is an impossibility.
There are such happy realms somewhere
beneath the sun. Being graciouslg pleased
to accept Stanley's report of the interior of
Africa, and other travellers tales of the
polar circle, he will not venture thither.
He win crafty his passion for ruins in In
dia, China, Greece and the islands of the
Mediterranean. If the within seizes him, as
let us hope it may, he will initiate the good
Mr. Mr. &c Cesnola and tarry year at Cyprus and
dig for antiquities. This would be congo
NAL business. Thimble rigging and the dis
covery OF bogus antiquities are kindred oc
equations. The Gould collection of Sypri-
ote antiquities will eclipse in ingenuity and
craftiness all previous attempts in that line
Of joinery. When he is in the land of the
ancients he says he will travel as the an
clients did. Through India he will move
with a double team of big elephants. Across
the deserts of Nuba he will travel on drom-
edaries, and in China, letus suppose, he will
be carried on the backs of coolies, or will
be jolted over the Thibetan frontier in a
mule litter His royal progress should be
described by the pen of some graphic writer.

tons. He is peculiar to the soil. Let US
