THE LATE JOHN G. BETHUNE.

Referring to the death of NIi. John G.
Betiiune. who was killed at the railroad
station, at Wilmington, Del, Saturday night,
the Philadelphia Press says This sudden
death brings into prominence the litigation
between himself and his wife, or the woman
who claims 10 be his wife. Il is also likely
to Bring before thc public the relations be-
tween The Bcthune family end the musical
prodigy, Blind Tom. He was born in sIa-
very. and vas bought, while yet Il boy, by
Gen. i5etiiunc, who then lived near Coium-
bus. Ga. There his musical talents early
asserted themselves and his master saw i'll
hiin capacities which could be made more
profitable than hoeing cotton. Accordingly.
the slave boy was trained as pianist and
exhibited on the stage. When the war was
over, however. and Blind Tom was free
man. some method had 10 he invented by
bv which this black mine of wealth could
be retained Accordingly Gen. Bethuue,
who had moved 10 Warrenton, Va. applied
10 tie court Of Fauquicr county for an ln-
ouiry into Blind Toms mental condition.
The prodigy was adiudged lunatic, ana
Gen. Bethuues son, Col. Bethune, was ap-
Bethune gave IL bond for 1000 for the
security OF Blind Toms estate, the negro
wonders mother and brothers, the natural
snarers in the profits of his exhibitions, be-
ing still alive.
Colonel Bethune, the dead man, was for
nearly fifty years of his life unmarried. In
The intervals between his concerts, he and
Blind Tom lodged at the house of Mrs. Ell
sia Stutzbach. 81, Marks Place, New York.
Size had been married TO Il man who already
had one wife, but had not lived with him
after his wrong doing had been discovered.
This marriage was already void, but when
Colonel Bcthune wished 10 marry her. it Is
ciaiined that Gen Bethune himself had
quper drawn, formally annulling it. Mrs.
S.lltxbAch and Col. Bethunc were married
hy Il Justice OF the peace on Nov. 10, lSS2.
He soon after started on Il southern tour,
extending as far rs Mexico. His counsel
claims shat he left her enough money for
her SUPPORT until June. Her counsel denies
tll;s. auG claims that a. the request Of Gen.
Ecihuuc she moved to 135th street, in her

lived with rcr for 2 week, and then moved
down town. She would not consent 10 20

and support.

A Bottle 24s Years old.


Mr.. L. Green, of Newport, called
at this office last Saturday morning and
exhibited to us a four-ounce bottle, the
existence of which is clearly traced
back 248 years. It cannot properly
be called square or round bottle, as
the corners and edges hardly approach
either Evidently the process of blow
ing glass at the time it was made was
in it's incipien y. The bottom was
doubtless intended to be fiat, but the
lorners and edges are not squarely and
smoothly turned, and in the CEN
ter of the bottom daub of
molten glass seems to have been
put on to stop up the hole that was left
by reason of the edges failing to come
together and close in the center of the
bottom. The shoulders at the top OF
the bottle, too, look as if they were in
tended to be blown square, but instead
of this they awkwardly double in
toward the center. The neck of the
bottle is short and straight, without the
usual rim at the top, and at the bottom
of the neck it spreads out, and is ap-
parently nodded into the hole left at the
top of the bottle where the glass laps
over from the shoulders Upand down
the body of the bottle, in sort of twist
ing shape are large but pretty uniform
ridges which appear to be on the out
side, but upon feeling the bottle they
are discovered to be but slightly in
dented on the outside, and must be
either inside or running through the in
terror of the body of the glass.

A New Trouble to the Eyes.
[PhiladeIphia Times.

A genuine trouble of the eye, and one
OF very recent origin, is that caused by
the glare of the electric lights. To a
verf sensitive retina this is intolerable,
and some protei tion is absolutely nec-
essary Tor this purpose We use
smoked glasses and the demand for
them is really surprising. In New York
thousands of gross of these are sold
every year. The linemen. who ad ust
the arcs of the electric lights, and, of
course, need very strong glasses, wear
oblong pieces of blue glass fastened to-
gether, two for each eye, and capable
of shielding them from the terrible
brilliancy. Even with these their eyes
are very often injured.

Electricity, OR Imaginationa
[Danbury (Conn.) News. ]


James Carley, of this town, jour
halter, recently suffered for week
with severe headache. Every possible
remedy was resorted to without relief
Finally one of his shopmates informed
him that ID. B. Wilkes, living in the
upper end of King street district, could
cure it without fail. Accordingly
Carley set out to find the man who
possessed such panacea that could re-
Geve him from his untold suffering.
Mr.. Wilkes, whose occupation is a
farmer, received him cordially, and at
once assured him that he could cure his
headache. He requested Carley to &C.
company him to the old cider mill,
which they entered, and Mr.. Wilkes
pulled out from beneath the press q
box covered with a coal sieve. From
the box he took live black snake and
wound it around Carley's neck. Strange
as it may seem, almost instantaneously
the pain left his head and has not re-
turned since. Mr.. Carley and his
friends vouch for his cure. Mr.. Wilkes
also cures sprains and swellings in the
same way. He explains the matter on
the principles of animal lectricity,
which he supposes that the snake pos
sesses. If a cure is effected in this way
the writer thinks that the pain is fright
ened out of the patient by the horrid
application

OVERRIDING 1t.
[Talmage in Home Science. ]


Some of our young people have read
till they are crazed-of learned
blacksmiths, who at the forge conquered
thirty languages; and of shoemakers,
who, pounding sole-leather, got to be
philosophers; and of milliners, who,
while their customers were at the glass
trying on their spring hats, wrote a
volume of frst-rate poems. The fact
is, no blacksmith ought to be troubled
with more than five languages; and in
stead of shoemakers becoming philoso-
piers, we would like to turn our sur
plus of philosophers into shoemakers !;
and the supply of poetry is SC much
greater than the demand, that we wish
milliners would stick to their business.
Extraordinary e amples of work and
endurance may do as much good Be
cause Napoleon slept only four hours a
night, hundreds OF students have tried
the experiment; but, instead of Aus
terlitz AMI Saragossa, there came of it
only sick headache and botch of a

Fascinated by a Snake.

A Port Jervis letter says party of
gentlemen on Sunday visited a famous
snake-hole on the farm of the late W.
I. Galloway, near Montgomery, armed
with horsewhips, for the purpose Of
kill ng blacksnakes, which abound in
that neighborhooi. After killing as
many as they could find, they separated
for the purpose of botanizing. Later
on one of their number could not be
found. Returning to the snake-hole,
the missing one was observed standing
in front of the hole, apparently SPELL
bound, nor could any amount of calling
attract his attention. On going closer,
his friends were Mortified to see an i'm
mense blacksnake, just ready to coil
itself around him. The man was rigid,
while his eyes started from their
sockets. The snake was moving itself
in wavy manner and slowly getting
closer to its almost entrapped victim.
The situation was at once understood
and his snakeship was dispatched, while
the man was placed in wagon. He
says he was completely charmed, saw
beautiful colors, and experienced per-
fectly peaceful sensation which would
not permit him TO go away or resist. If
his friends had not arrived as they did
it is probable he would have been
strangled to death, as these blacksnakes
will coil about person and choke him
to death. The snake was large one,
and measured nine feet in length.

The vital Center.

Hitherto it has puzzled eminent sur
geons to account for sudden death
caused by apparently inadequate
wounds in the heart, such as these made

of needle. Herr Schmey, student
of the Physiological institute, Berlin,
has. however, just discovered that when
O needle pricks certain small spot on
the lower border of tie upper third of
the septum cords, quite instantan-
eously the movements of the heart are
arrested and forever set motionless in
death. ut is now the task of an
anatomical investigation says Prof.
Kronecker, who verified the discovery
of his pupil, Herr Schmey, and COM

racy this vital center, the existence of

Collecting Autographs.
The Hour. |


We may easily ridicule, if we please
to do SO, the passion for collecting auto
graphs. 1t is often developed to de-
gree that is abnormal; and, like the
children's craze to amass the greatest
possible variety of buttons or of post
age stamps, it admits. it must be con-
fessed, of vagaries and excess. The
desire often leads those who have the
autograph mania to confound just dis
tinctions, and to seek the assemblage
of q vast number of miscellaneous and
second-rate names. But the feeling on
which lection is based is,
in itself, valid, and by no means un-
worthy.
There is really good reason why
letter or signature of William Shaks-
peare or John Milton, of Napoleon
Bonaparte or George Washington,
should give its possessor q well-defned
pleasure, q hint-which we could not
SO we'll imagine in the absence of such
token-of the great man so repre-
sented. We seem to see in this little
remnant of him his personal quality,
and that it is made some how little
nearer to us. It recalls for us his char
aCtCI duu AtGIiuuGCS, auu, h1t6E ul6u-
ner, puts us in closer communication
with him.
The signature may not be important
in itself; it may be connected with no
great event; trivial occasion may have
called it out; but it helps to realize for
us some part of visible presence; and,
by subtle law of association brings us
nearer to the great actor in the world s
history, or in the world of thought.
Articles, and even volumes, have been
written to show the relation of hand
writing to character; and whatever
error there may be in Their philosophy,
we at least seem to extract through a
famous autograph some of the aroma
that belongs to great fame.

Founding of the Smithsonian Insti'
detroit Free Press.

The Smithsonian institute received
its name from James Smithson, an Ing
lish physicist. James Smithson be
eueathed his estate of 100000 to his
nephew, on the condition that if there
were no children to inherit it the
amount was to go the United States,
to found at Washington, an institution
for the diffusion OF knowledge. The
nephew died in 1885, and the
claim of the United States was
prosecuted at London by Hon.
Richard Rush, who went from America
for that purpose. Through his efforts
there was deposited in the United
States mint $515.l69. By an act OF
congress the interest on this amount up
to July, 1846, was appropriated for the
erection of buildings and other Incl
dental expenses. This interest reached
the sum of $242, 129. The same act
provided that all future appropr ations
and expenditures should be made from
the interest and not from the principal
of the fund. The principal was de.
clared to be lent in perpetuity to the
United States treasury at 6 per cent.
semi annual payments.

Germany is still face to face with the
question asked by the chamber of COM
merce at Minden a few years ago: "Has
the German empire been founded for
the purpose of arising its citizens forth
into exile" Last year 100000 persons
left the Father.and; and this year it is
estimated that the number will be in
creased by at least 10000. How long
! ermany can stand this constant drain
of her best and most productive blood
is one of the puzzling questions of the
century. So long, however, as she
maintains her present oppressive taxa
ton and military system, just SO long is
the exodus bound to continue.
