The liberal bequest to Dartmouth

banker of New York has bit of history
connected with it, says the Concord ca.
H. Monitor. He was jew, and mach

man became enam9red OF her coachman. The
mattr was talked about by the neighbors until
it fin ally reached the ears of the husband He
raised a terrible row, aud at once discha rged
the ambitious carriage driver. The gentle
MINIS business keeps him down town from an
e. ly hour in the morning until late in the af-
s'sted neighbors that the discharged driver
visits the house of his former employer with
great regularity almost daily. The scandalous
affair has been gossiped about for weeks, and
many. people are charitable enough to believe
that the wife is insane. Last summer she was
frequently seen sitting in shady nook, with
the coachnlan by her side. Other manifesto
tons of her regard for the driver have been
noticed. Tho affair will probably end in d.

A Terrible Birfh-mark.

Philadelphia Press.
A most remarkable case of human
suffering, and one which has steadily
baffled medical science, is reported in
Springfield. Erie County, Penn. Will
liam Furgeson, when seven years Of age
was seized with severe pains in his right
hand, and though he is now forty-six
years of age he has been annually at
tackled, singularly though at each time
suffering more than at the preceding.
Commissions and paroxysms now visit
him at exactly the same period of the
year and always at the same hour
in the evening. He is now suffering
the most acute agony, and is
visited by scores of physicians who
in every case have been
completely bafled. By this peculiar
freak of nature his body becomes terri
blv contorted. Respiration almost
ceases, and he becomes for the time be-
ing unconscious, and on awakening
shows every evidence of'having passed
through a terrible ordeal. Ga being
restored he becomes perfectly we'll, and
is only troubled at intervals of year,
but with positive regularity, The case
can only be accounted for by the fact
that Fergueson's mother shortly before
his birth, saw the contortions and evil
dences of agony in snake which had
been thrown into fire, and that he has
become thus birth-marked.

The Longest Tunnels.

The Hoosac tunnel, the longest rail-
road tunnel in the United States, has q
total length of four and three-fourths
miles. It was commenced in 1851, cut
through November 81, 1873, and first
train of cars through February 9, 1875,
but regular trains did not commence
running till the autumn of 1876. The
original estimate of cost was 81, 948, 557,
and actual cost up to January l, 1881,
was $50, 241, S42.31. The Hoosac is the
third largest tunnel in the world, the
St. Gothard tunnel, connecting Italy
and Switzerland, the longest, having q
length of nine and one-half miles, while
the Mont Gems tunnel, connecting
france and Italy, is nearly eight miles
long.

A Barbed Wire Decree.

Of Washburn & Moen against Walter Il J. E.
Rhodes, resting upon tho validity of the reis-
Enod Gliddon and Kelly patents on barb wire
They were held to be invalid and of no effect,
rs they were not for the same invention de-
scribed or claimed in the original letters pat

court. Washburn & Moen men, in the city

Some people apprehend an export
movement in gold coin due to the recent
decrease fin our exports. The "balance
of trade" has turned against us, and the
withdrawal from this country of Eu-
ropean holdings of stock securities that
has been going on for some time, is now,
it is said, to. be followed by q drain OF
precious yellow metal itself. An opinion
prevails, however, that the movement
will be only slight and temporary al
most, and will not bring a gold famine
rs at present the New York banks have
q large surplus supply OF that metal.

reading that letter; and it was not until
hearing Miss Melia's words to her moth
er that she awoke to the consciousness
that fate would, have even a greater sor-
row than this in store for her.
One year ago she had parted from her
accepted lover, Walter Hinton, in anger
on both sides. Walter had become jeal-
Gus and had spoken sharply to her, and
in a manner which she considered her.
self justified in resenting. Walter was
too proud to apologize, and Marion too
proud as we'll as too delicate to make adj
vances to a reconciliation; and so they
had drifted apart, both miserable, until
Walter had broken the last link by 90
ing out west.
She heard of him from time to time
through his family, but no word or mes
sage to herself ever came. In all this
while she had looked forward, with 6
faint, yearning hope. to the possibility
of his some time returning, and of al
being made up between them. Butnov
this last hope was rudely stricken t.
the ground. Walter was going to bt
married. He had forgotten her and wa:
lost to her forever.
"Oh, it is hard-so hard to bear!
thought Marion, as with hands tight,
clasped, she passed slowly under thu
apple boughs of the old orchard. "Lif.
is bitter. It has taken all from me;
canehave no more to give. Only NJ,
dear, dear mother and Myra! Fo
their sakes I must be strong and try t,
bear it ALL
On the verge of the orchard, wher'
the high bank sloped abruptly to tn
meadow, she came to a mass of tangled
honeysuckle fashioned into a rustic ar
Dor. Walter had made it for her, and
here, in fact, it was that they had las
parted.
