Having passed several nights dis
turhed by the agonies and cries of a sui-
fering child, aud becoming convinced
that Mrs. Wmslow's Soothing Syrup
was Just the article needed, procured n
supply for the child. On reaching home
and acquainting his wife with what lie
had done, she refused to have 1t admins
tered to the child, as she was strongly in
! favor of homeopathy. That night the
child'passed in suffering, and the parents
without sleep. Returning home the day
| following the father found the baby still
worse, and while contemplating another
slccplcss night, the mother stepped from
| the room to attend tO some domestic du-

| During her absence Lee administered a
portion of the Soothing Syrup to the
baby, and said nothing, That night all
hands slept we'll, and the little fellow

The mother was delighted with the sud

Mar ricd Her Coiored Servant.

A dispatch from Cleveland, Ohio, says:
ga year ago Tamscn Walker, the Twenty
year-old daughter of man of wealth and
social standing, ran away from her home
in Waterford, W. Va, with John Ash, 4
c0l6red servant in the family, who is fiji
teen or twenty years her senior, and is
physically crippled and of inferior APP
pearance, ami the two were quietly mar
ried here. Subsequently the father tracked
his daughter to this place and found her
living alone and serving as domestic in
4 private family. Mr.. Walker finally pre-
vailed upon his daughter to return home,
and later entered suit here to have the
marriage contract annulled. The girl
affidavit states that Ash, by reason of hav
ing had the care Of her when child, had
obtained great influence over her, ami
that by means of this and by threats lie
accomplished her ruin. Fearing that she
was about to become mother, she con-
scented to elope and be married, but imme-
diately after the ceremony she left Ash,
and has refused to live with him since.
Ash, in his answer, claimed that their re-
lations were sought by the girl; that the
marriage was performed ut her instance;
that she is under duress, and that if left
to follow her inclinatiOns She would re-
main his wife. The Common Pleas Court
to-day, after hearing, annulled the mar
rage contract"
