An ElOpeInent.
A MARRIED MAN ELorEs WITH A YOU'VE
LADY STUDENT OF BUCksroRT SEMINARY

Last week Mr.. II. Hamor, proprietor of the
Grand Central hotel, Bar Harbor, sent his son,
"A lad about - years of age, and his daughter,
young lady / years of age, to Bucksport,
to attend the +. NJ. G.. Seminary. SATURDAY.
noon Miss llamor did not appear at the din
ner hour but nothing strange was thought of
it. Later in the day Miss lIamor could not
be found, and enquiry elected the fact that
she had been seen during the forenoon going
towords the town. After a little search and
Miss Hamor could not be found, it was con-
cluded that she had become homesick and had
taken the Bar Harbor steamer for home
Sunday night a telegram was sent to Mr..
llamor at Bar Harbor to ascertain il his
daughter had arrived home. Mr.. Hamor for
the first time knew his daughter was missing,
and at once started for Bucksport, and on
arriving there found letter from his daugh-
ter saying she had concluded to go away with
a man by the name of Louis Cornish. Cor
nsh has lived at Bar Harbor for years and
during the summer has worked about the
steamboat wharf at that place. He is about
five feet five inches in height has a NOUS
tache, sandy complexion, prep0ssessing ways,
is a very glib talker. and is a man who would
attract attention in crowd. He is about %
years old. married. and has little boy about
five years of age. He left Bar Harbor last
Friday with his wife and child and went to
Veazie " here his wife's folks live. Saturday
morning he went TO Bangor. There he met
Miss Ilahor who came from Bucksport on
the | 80 A. NJ. train. He purchased tickets
at the Maine Central station for Boston, and
the couple took the u o'clock p. NJ. train
from Bangor Cornish wrote letter to his
wife and mailed it at Bangor saying he was
going to Boston to look for work.
Since Saturday nothing has been heard of
the eloping couple. Miss Hamor is medium
height, and light complexioned. She is quite
a handsome young lady, but does not look to
be in good health When she is standing she
stoops little. She has always borne a good
character, and it was not known that she had
ever been on intimate terms with Cornish.
Mr.. Hamor will do all in his power
to get his daughter to return home.
There is no doubt that Cornish is entirely to
blame in the matter. He is villain in a
double sense as he has not only deserted a
wife and child but induced young girl to
take step that can bring only sorrow to her
self. Mr. Hamor is gentleman who is we'll
known and has the sympathy of his wide cir
Gle OF friends and acqaintances. 1t is thought
that it was the intention of Cornish to go
West. Ii is supposed that he had from 800
to $3.50 in money with him.

An American Game.
Poker as Product of American Inven-
ton and Humor.


America has now not only literature and
language, but game of her own. We do
not speak of base ball, but of poker, fascinat-
ing pastime well calculated to enlghten per-
sons who, like Firmiian inthe play, are anx-
ious to have experience of the passion of re-
morse. Poker is not unknown within our
coasts, and is played by the opulent, the great
and the adventurous. By way of enlighteLing
the British and planting the standard of poker
In the remote gardens of our country, one of
the victims of thesport has published volume
on the subject ("Poker; How to Play It.")
We have studied this volume rather as ethnol-
ogists than as gamesters. Baccarat is good
enough for us; there is simplicity and So
cial comfort in baccarat which we miss in the
more elaborate poker. While we are prepared
to admit all that may be said in praise of pok-
or as intellectual gymnastics, we cannot forget
that the same panegSrcs have been Bestowed

ster, destroys his nerves and leads him lin

politicians, which is ruin to body and mind.
While poker has thus sequel of moral and
financial evils, its rules and regulations are, TO
our thinking, good deal more obscure than
the metaphysic even of the Eleatid school;
and we confess that the 'ParmeDides" of Pla-
to, or even the first book of Euclid, his ''ge-
ometry,' is easy reading compared to the
more learned and esoteric rart of this volume
on poker. We have never seen anything like
1t, except a small pamphlet OH "Options,"
which has been kindly forwarded to us by
some advertising person on the Stock Elk
change. In Observation-Disclosures they may
be-thers is a practice known as Put and
Call" (re.nindiDg one of the Hyperborean
mystery, "Knurr and Spell'' and there is also
something called "the straddle." Now "the
straddle" and 'call' If not put" and "iack
pots" and Straight fushes," and even "prc-
gressive jack pots are terms with which the
technical part of this work on poker fairly
bristles. In examining these pages we
feel like the Freshman at Cambridge
when Euclide Uiso, cohofroH ct eudsu
The fact is that no one can learn a
game at cards out of book. He who
would learn poker must play poker, just
as "he who will to CIparmaun to Capar."
There is not much at Cupar to crafty the tray
eer's curiosity, and we learn that poker has
but one moral merit. 1t takes the conceit out
of man, and may, SO far, be recommended to
the young and to amateur art critics. But the
history and general character of the sport are
less generally interesting.

Fears Of Revolution in Europe.
FROM the St. Petersburg Golos.

From the st. Petersburg Golos.]
The political horizon Of Europe is very
gloomy. A kind of panic is spreading every.
where. Diplomatic notes and quarrels, war
expeditions, parliamentary questions and
speeches, and obdurate party struggles are
as nothing compared with the social danger
that has undermined all Europe. The time
of the semi religious socialism of st. s mon
and that of the romantic socialism of Four
rier are over long ago, and the time of the
scientific socialism of Karl Marx is also pass
ing away
Toward the end of the eighteenth century
the careless marquises and marchionesses
the merry prelates, and the brilliant philolo-
gists gave Europe charming appearance
but suddenly there was formed bad crack
from which rushed to the surface the horri
BILE spectre of sansclulottism. And now there
is in Europe bad crack, from which is
creeping out the dreadful form of anarchism
Fenianism in England, communism Ii
France, social democratism In Germany
aud Nihilism in kussia-these are the vari
GUS names of the monster. So far only the
head of this malicious Medusa has come in
to view, and our diplomatists, generals, ant
financiers turn pale and dumb.
In Europe there appears everywhere symp
toms of coming catastrophe. Many intelli
gent Europeans are looking not for the ways
of advancement, but the means of salvation
They seek not reformer, but a savior wht
can lead them safely between the Scylla ant
Charybdis of the coming European revolu,
ton. Russia, too, can not be saved by AM
political reforms; she needs thorough re
form of the general government.

Ready-Made Novels.
lJanuary Atlanti,


Any one ambitious Of producing work Of
fiction has only to read the newspapers to find
In their columns the most thrilling plots,
which, with due expansion, can be developed
into novels quite as good as those of Miss Brad
don or Mr. Wilkie Collins. This, at least, Ia
what one is given to understand by the news
papers themselves, in which it is no rare thing
to see quarter OF column, or SO, headed "a
Ready-Made Novel" or stranger than Fic-
tion," which are assured is as wonderful as
anything the ingenious authors before named
have done in devisiDg strange complications OF
human affairs.
When was young, and my first great work
OF notion was in view.-a point at which 1t has
persistently remained,-I made an extensive
collection of clippings of this sort, believing
that they would at leastst imulate laggard inn
agination. / must confess that have found
this method of writing fiction failure. have
tried the excerpts for novels and for plays, but
have never got satisfactory plot ont of them.
Theyhave retained, through all processes OF
literary treatment, certain. inherent journal
istic stamp, which somehow has been fatal to
my story / have thus come to dishelieve In
the "ready-made novels" of the newspapers,
and to think that narrative Of fact, however
curious it may be, IS of little help except for
the germ it may contain, unless it is translated
and re-shaped by the imagination. Miss Brad
don and Mr. Collins do not owe their success to
the reporter; and no one can think for a mo-
ment that newspaper clippings have substan-
TALLY helped the author of The Cloister and
the Hearth. Nevertheless, 1t is Mr.. Charles
Reade's hobby to preach the utility of the
hard, unrounded fact as a potent ingredient Of
fiction; and it is his delight to confound the
critics of any seeming improbability in his
stories with reference to some occurrence in
'sreal llfe," of which he has an account, care
fully preserved with clove-scented gum traga.

A Highly Original Idea.
DR.. Tavernier's Successful Experiments in
the Artificial Incubation of Children.

The immense success which has attended the
artificial incubation of chickens in France
says Scotch pape recently attracted the at
tention of DR.. Tavernier, learned and ingen-
ious physician of that country. He was at
tached to hospital for foundlings and, grieved
at the large number of foundliDgs who died
within the first six months of their life, re-
solved to try what artificial incubation
would accomplish, if applied to infants. He
accordingly had constructed child incubator,
on precisely the model of the chicken incuba-
tor 1t was box covered with glass slide.
furnished with soft wooden bed and kept at q
temperature at $50 Fair, by the aid of hot
water. He selected as the subject OF his first
experiment miserably formed infant. This
infant was placed in the incubator, provided
with nursing bottle, and kept in dark
room To the surprise of the doctor it ceased
to cry on the second day after it was placed in
the incubator, and although it had previously
been preternaturally sleepless child, it sank
into deep and quiet sleep. The child re-
NAMED in the incubator for about eight weeks,
during which time it never once cried, and
never remained awake except when taking
nourishnent. 1t grew rapidly, and when at
the expiration of sixty days it was removed
from the incubator, it presented the appear
ance of healthy infant of at least year old
Delighted with the success of the experiment
Dr. Tavernier next selected an ordinary six
months-old infant, addicted to the usual pains
and collie, and exhibiting the usual fretfulness
of French infants. This child conducted it
self while in the incubator precisely as its pre-
decessor had done. After a six weeks stay in
the incubator it was removed and weighed,
and was found during this brief period, to
have doubled its weight. 1t had become so
strong and healthy that it resembled child
three years old, and it could actually walk
when holding on to convenient piece of fur
niture. These two experiments satisfied DIR.
Tsvernier of the vast advantages OF artificial
child incubation. He Immediately proceeded
with the permission of the authorities of the
hospital, to construct an incubator OF the ca
pacity of 400 infanqs, and i'll this he placed ev-
cry one OF the 800 infants that were in the hos
pital on the 10Th of February last. With the
exception of one who died of conaenital hydro
cephalus, and another who was reclaimed by
its repentant parents, the infants were kept
continuously in the incubator for six months,
when they were removed i'll consequence OF
having outgrown their narrow beds. The re-
suit will seem almost incredible TO persons
who arr unfamiliar with the reputation OF
