FARMER oBERTs DAUGHTER.
a Plan to Make Her a Bride without
Her Previous Knowledge,

a Plan to Make Her Bride without
Her Previous Knowledge,
Henry Obert is a well-to-do farmer iv-
ing in the adjoining county of Wayne,
says a Scranton (Pa.) special of Oct. 7.
He does not own the farm he lives upon,
and the owner, a wealthy widOWer OF
middle age, occupies a portion of the
farm house. Farmer Obert has the repu-
tation of being extremely close.isted in
his business transactions. He has very
handsome daughter, is years old, named
Lena. Some time ago the wealthy owner
of the farm asked Obert for his daughter
in marriage. The farmer and his wife
both readily consented to the match. The
girl had not been consulted in the matter
by the man who wanted her for his wife.
nor was she spoken to on the subject by
her parents after they had told the wild
over he could have her. She had always
been dutiful and faithful daughter, and
they did not for a moment suppose she
would oppose their wishes. The wedding
day was fixed for Oct. 1.
Two weeks ago the girls mother told
her she intended to give a large party on
the night of that day. Lena was sur
prised. as such a thing as social festivity
in their house had never been known be-
fore. Many invitations were sent out,
but to no one was anything said about
what the occasion Of the gathering was.
Lena came to Scranton with her mother
the week before last, and dress was pur-
chased for her. On the afternoon OF the
day fixed for the wedding the girls moth
er showed her some articles OF dress
which were so plainly those worn by
brides that she inquired who was to wear
them. Mrs. Obert then told her daughter
what the occasion of the party was.
Lena was at first so astounded that she
could not speak. When she recovered
from her establishment she denounced both
her father and mother for attempting to
dispose of her like farm stock, especially
to a man whom they knew she despised.
She left home at once, walking to this city,
a distance of Is miles. She has friends
here, and she is now staying with them.
AS the guests arrived at the farm house
to attend the party they were informed by
Mrs. Obert of the sudden overthrow Of
her plans, and were sent away. Great in
dignation prevails in the neIghbOrhOod
over the conduct of the girls parents.

sUFFERTNGs OF AN EMPRESS.
Stately spIendOr that Serves to Mask
Noble Endurance and Heroic Patience.

Stately SpIendOr that Serves to Mask
Noble Endurance and Heroic Patience.
Strange, and sometimes pathetic, says
Nine. de Stael in her London letter, are
the ways of those royal households of
which only the cold, stately splendOr
meets the eye. How few, seeing the En-
press of Germany fulfilling all the duties
of her station, every inch a Queen, would
guess that for is months, since her acct
dent, she has been racked with almost in
tolerable pain. Unable to walk or leave
her chair, she had herself carried once a
week to the Augusta Hospital and to the
Augusta foundation for the daughters Of
poor officers and those killed in battle.
Both these institutions are her own work,
and she dispenses in person cOnSOla-
ton, advice and commands. Every sun
day, we'll or ailing, she attends divine
service, not in her private chapel or ora
tory, but in one of the pubic churches.
Empress in name-slave in fact-she
shirks none of the obligations, even the
most trying ones, of her station, ana as
tonishes the most experienced diplomats
and ablest State Ministers by the readi-
ness of her wit, her Jnfaling tact andSprO-
found erudltion, Those who see her hdut
pas, covered with priceless jewels, robed
IN her purple mantle fringed with heavy
sables, do not realize that the regal train
Intentionally thrown over her feet hide
the MANNED, tortured limb as etfectaally
as her sufferings are concealed under
the smile which she turns on the Emperor
at her right, on the mistress of the robes
standing little back on the left, or on the
ladies bending low before her in triple
courtesy as they pass.
She, who best could reveal the truth
and tell of noble endurance and brave pa
thence, is the old Silesian woman who was
brought from her peasant home in the
provinces to give the sovereign relief by
her deft manipulatiOnS. She has done
nothing else since her childhood, and the
professional gift of healing frictions is he
reditary in her family, as it is with many
of the Silesian shepherds. This aged
woman rubs the Empress twice, some
times three times a day, according to
the intensity of the pain, and is
rarely away from her now. She follows
her in her drives, to church, in her
travels; she sits in the ante-roOm during
the Thursday receptions, in a tribune
during the royal balls and concerts, a
quaint, homely and picturesque figure.
Unwilling to part from her even for a
short visit to her native village, the
Empress sent for her daughter, already a
mature woman, to come to Berlin. and
lent her a court carriage TO visit all the
lions and places of interest. The old Sile-
sian peasant is loud in praise of her royal
patient, and perhaps no more sincere
tribute is paid to the courageous en-
durance and kindly nature of the much
tried sovereign.

GRAND LIFE IN TRANCE.
An Estimate of the Cost of Living in High
Style in Paris.


FIGARO has begun a series of studies on
the art of living in grand style in 1884.
The writer suppOses a minimum income
of 100000 francs (say f12,000) year.
First of all for the Paris establishment.
The household in question will be served
by a cook, an under cook, a maitre dhOtel,
a valet de chambre, three fOotmen,a cham
bermaid and an assistant chamberma1d
or LINGERIE. The cook will be paid l,ZOO
francs a year. His accounts will be 1000
to $500 francs month, on which ne Will
receive a commission of five per cent.
The maitre d'hotel is paid 1900 francs
year and dressed; the valet de chambre
is paid 1000 francs, but has to dress him
self. The footmen are paid from 6O to 80
francs a month and dressed completely.
Fi0GrO saws the toilet and livery OF first
class fOotman represent an outlay OF up
ward of E100 a year. good goVerness
is paid from 9100 to t120 a year, tutor
from 9120 to EGO. Inc concierge and MS
wife are paid together 1900 to ], S00francs,
without board, but with livery. The head
coachman or piquer receives f1OO year,
with lodging, but without board. He
drives when madame goes out alone or
with her husband, but he never drives his
master alone nor the children. This i'm
portant parsonage has a second, who is
paid 20 francs a month, with board. The
stable helpers are paid 100 francs month
at Paris, without board or lodging. For
Paris service the household will need
three or four carriage horses, two other
horses for night work, some ponies and
cobs. A fine pair Of carriage horses costs
from $500 to 81, 900. In short, the horses
and carriages, counting seven horses in
all. will cost about 10000 francs to buy
and &c. 900 francs year to keep up. Figaro
promises in another article to sum up the
cost of the country establishment and the
total expense of this grand existence on

Love and Linen.

WGUerty IN. ~ Dispatch. Oct, e.
On Sunday night young doctor of
Newton Centre escorted the daughter of
prominent and wealthy citizen to
church. The father of the girl had for
hidden her TO keep the young mans COM
pany. When church was out the father
lay in wait behind tree for his daugh-
ter's companion, and jumped out upon
him as he passed. He seized the young
man by the throat and tore his collar of
and the bosom out of his shirt. The old
gentleman then ran away. The doctor
went on home with the young lady as
though nothing had happened. When she
entered the house her father took her to
parlor and pointed to the DOCTORS shirt
bosom which he had tackled on the wall.
81 intend to have it framed" he said. On
Monday the doctor saw the old gentleman
passing his office. The story of the shirt
bosom was already known about the vii
lage. The young man rushed out, dragged
his Sunday night assailant into his office,
and compelled him to take off his white
shirt. Attaching to it this placard: "a
contribution from coward" he fastened
the garment to a pole and hung it out Of
his Office window. Since then the father
of the young lady has apOlogized to the
doctor. and invited him to call on his
daughter as often as he pleases. The
doctor has accepted the apology, and it
will not surprise the village if he becomes
the old gentleman's son-in-law at no dis
tant day.

SKELETONS IN A TAVERN.
Supposed to be the Bones of Travellers
Who Were Murdered.

VINO were muruofeus
A cable dispatch from Berlin, sent
few days ago to the German newspapers,
says a Meriden Comm special, an
nounced the discovery of six human
skeletons in the cellar Of a tavern in a
town called Turzig, near Rummelsberg,
in Germany. One of the bodies was
identified as that of B. Fuerstenberg, Jr.,
a prominent merchant of that locality,
who was never seen by his friends after
he had entered that tavern. His identity
was discovered by his clothing and valise.
The authorities are looking for the for
mer owner of the tavern, Gail Siefert. He
has been found in this city and is recog-
nized by several of the Germans here who
came from Turzig as the keeper Of the
tavern in question. He displayed con-
siderable money after he came here last
April and bought several building lots.
The German Consul was notified of the
whereabouts of Siefert, but he replied
that he was not aware that Siefert was
wanted in Germany, so he has not been
arrested.
Chief of Police Ford has gone to New
York to consult with the Consul.
The theory is that these skeletons are
the bodies of travellers who were murdered
and robbed.

EIOpement Scandals In Newspapers.
Roatozl T,.nnec1.ir1k.


1t should be remembered in eXtenuation
of the habit of some newspapers to make
much of an elOpement scandal, that when
newspapers were first started in England
the only news they contained was about
elopements. A certain class of journals
on this side of the water act as though
thew had struck bonanza when put in
possession of the irregular proceedings
of somebody, with more money than
brains, who elope with somebody else
about as brainless. In order to have the
story complete, there must be a great dis
parity in the positions of the clipping par
ties. 1t would not be in good form for a
runaway flight to take place between a
Young lady of considerable means and
anybody of higher social dignity than a
eoachman. Common mechanics are
barred out of such little social arrange
ments. The demands of society must be
maintained. If a young LADY who has
brilliant prospects financially is bound to
run away, she will be voted extremely
vulgar unless some insinuating coachman
is intrusted with her love.

The Great mount of Detail Work in the
Treasury department.
Two gentlemen, says the New York
Times, were talking the other day OF the
late Secretary Folger's devotion to duty,
and the conversation drifted into discus
sion of the great amount of detail work in
the Treasury Department. AS an in
stance of the scrupulous exactness with
which the work in the Redemption Bureau
is done, one of the gentlemen told the fol-
lowing story:
''Several years ago." he said, 81 was
living in the country, and had among my
possessions an old desk. One day, in 60
ing through this, l found four pieces of
scrip money of small denominations
which preceded the return of silver. Two
of these pieces were quarters and third
was q 10-cent scrip. Each OF these was
in fair condition. The fourth was a ragged
and sOiled bit of paper, with nothing but
it's size aud feeling to indicate that it had
ever been money. After studying it for a
long time, L couclud d it was originally a
scent scrip. l determined to send the
three good pieces to the Treasury Depart
ment for redemption, more as an expert
ment than anything Cls-. But my wife
insisted that the ragged piece must go
along with the rest. To humor her en-
closed it with the others, aud a note ask
ing that the scrip be redeemed.
"A week or 10 days later, l was in
formed that there was registered letter
at the post Office for me. / found a huge
envelope with three red seals and the card
of the Treasury Department upon it. In
the envelope were several papers, three or
four, with printed and written matter
upon them. The papers were blanks
which had been filled OVt and extracts
from the law concerning the redemption
of fractional currency. From the dOcu-
ments l learned that the three pieces
had supposed were redeemable were
counterfeit and of no value, and that the
only piece upon which l could base a
claim against the department was the
tattered and torn 5-cent scrip. Down in
one corner Of the big envelope was a
smaller one, and in one corner of that
was bright nickel 5-cent piece, which
the United States Government had sent
me in return for my scent scrip"

An Ink Plant.

There is in New Granada curious
vegetable product known under the
name of the ink plant. Its juice can be
used in writing without any previous
preparation: The letters traced trace will with
but turn a deep black in a few hours.
This juice also spoils steel pens less than
common ink. The qualities of the plant
seem to have been discovered under the
Spanish administration. Some writings
intended for the mother country were wet
through with sea water on the voyage;
while the papers written with common
ink were almost illegible, those with the
juice of the plant were quite unscathed
Orders were given in consequence that
this vegetable ink was to be used for
all public documents.

EDMUND RICHARDSON,
PRESIDENT OF THE WORLDS FAIR, Now
OPEN IN THE CRESCENT CITY.

OPEN IN THE CRESCENT CITY.
For six months from December 16,
1884, the leading attraction as a great
sight and landmark in the progress of
civilization, is the New Orleans World s
Industrial and Cotton Centennial Ex-
position. This is the grandest exhibition
of products and industries in the long
list which has followed that Of London,
in 1851.
1t grew out of an idea which was far
less comprehensive in the beginning
then as now seen in the huge develop
ment which surprises all visitors. Its
projectors thought of combining the ex-
hibit to a display of the products of the
South, especially cotton, and of the vari-
Gus mechanical processes through which
this passes before sold over the counter
in the familiar forms of muslin, calico,
etc. AS soon as their plan had been pub
lished, however, they were beset with
applications for space and soon found it
advisable to enlarge the scope of their
plan. One building was projected, but
in May last second was determined
upon, which lucky offer to loan mil
lion dollars, made by Congress, made at
once practicable. And so the good work
went on, until, by opening day sixty
acres, Of the 237 acres appropriated for
Exposition uses, were covered with
buildings. and thirty seven acres more
of it laid out in grounds and stables as a
livestock department.
The Main Building covers thirty three
acres; the Government Building, twelve,
and Horticultural Hall, three acres.
Other structures Of vast size and great
interest are the Art Gallery, the structure
raised by the Mexican Government, and
building for saw mills and wood. work
ing machinery.
The opening exercises were magaiti-
cent and largely attended. President
Arthur started the machinery by clectri-
city from Washington, amid ceremonies
which were performed with popular re-
joicings suspicious of great success to
the Exposition at New Orleans.
Next to the United States, Mexico
makes the largest exhibit. The Repub
lies of Central American are surprisingly
well represented, and the interest of lead
ing countries in the other continents is
most gratifying.
We print the features of the fine old
gentleman who is president of the Ex-
position. He is 'the largest cotton
planter in the world" and has amassed
large wealth by the sagaoity and assid-
uity with which he has applied himself
to business. Mr. Richardson is resi-.
dent of Louisiana, most useful citizen
of that State, and now, happily, the
leading man in noble enterprise which
in its dimensions and probable value to
the civilized world eclipses the perform
ances of the past

nhstrenerous Rooster.

the following item: For weeks Mrs.

been annoyed, she says, by the growing
of rooster belonging to Samuel Cohen,
who lives next door. In a petition to
Justice Naeher, asking HIM to do some
thing to relieve her of the distress
which the rooster causes, she said /:
cit does nothing but crow night
noon and morning. 1t seems to delight
in the annoyance it causes me. 1t will
fly on the fence, look up at my windows,
flap its wings, and then give the most
ear-splitting screeches or crows. If /
raise the window it will run from no
matter what part of the yard it may be
in, jump on the stoop and crow at me. F"
Justice Naeher said he would request Bfr.
Cohen to be present in court to make
answer to the complaint against the
rooster.

Exhibition of Woman,s industries.

An exhibition of woman's industries is
to be held at Bristol, England, early
next year, to which the United States is
invited to contribute. It's promoters are
DESTROYS that its principal feature should
be specimens of such works as illustrate
the progress made by women demanding
special technical and artistic training.
Samples of work done at technical and
industrial schools will be welcomed. 1t
is also hoped that articles may be con-
tributed representing what may be
termed the minor food industries, as bee
keeping, dairy work, etc. The loan of
ancient needlework or other articles rep
resenting the occupation of women in
past times is invited. Also, it is hoped
to form loan collection of portraits of
eminent women and relics of interest as
ISOLATED with them.
