A Woman Miser's Fifteen Thousand.

Isabella McWean, an elderly woman
who has been living in the village of
Essex Centre for The last 80 years, died
last week. 1t was rumored that the old
lady was possessed of q large amount of
money and that she boarded every cent
she obtained. She was always very reti-
cent and never associated with any of
her neighbors. After her death it was
decided to search her dwelling. Moth.
ing unusual vas found until the search
ers entered her apartments, where, on
pulling out the drawers of a bureau, they
found number of purses filled with
bills. Bills were found in her trunk
pinned to the Innings of her dresses, and
also gold amounting to s66S in English
sovereigns. Together with the bills the
amount found was $2,36S. The search
ers were about To leave the apartment
when Mr.. Powrie, one of the party, felt
son1e hard Jumps in the bed, and ripping
the tick open with knife, he pulled out
bag after bag of silver, which were
thrown into basket, and when all was
extracted there was as much as one could
lift. The money was taken to the vii.
lage and a queer variety of coins was
displayed. There were old Mexican and
Spanish coins not circulated in Canada
for over 40 years. When all the money
was counted it was found that she was
worth about $4,000. Most of this for

What q "Blizzard'' is Like.

A Dakota paper gives the following
description of The approach of recent
blizzard: "Untl about 415 p. m the day
was sunny, pleasant and with tempe
nature as mild as Spring. The streets
were filled with people, and ladies were
promenading in the enjoyment of the
ethereal mildness. Suddenly, and with
out the slightest warning, solid white
wall of frost and snow appeared in the
Northwest. 1t seemed as though the
bluffs in that direction had suddenly
shot upward to height of 1000 feet, so
solid and compact did this icy world ap-
pear. In second of time the storm
burst with appalling fury, and the win.
dows, which had by the mildness of the
atmosphere become clear Of frost, were
heavily coated with clinging snow on
the outside and heavy frosted particles
on the inside. The air grew terribly
cold, and was darkened by flying frost
aud snow. The high walls of the hotel
directly opposite were not to be seen;
All objects were hidden by the flying and
rapidly driven snow. People on the
streets sought shelter, and the stores
were temporarily used for protection
from the ierceness of the bowling blast
darker grew the atmosphere, to such an
extent that business in the office was
stopped until lights we're procured.

riage holding Complimentary" in your
waistcoat pocket may be, and doubtless
is, very pleasant thing. To travel free
as Mr.. George Adams Of Wolverhamp'
ton, England, did the other day, how
ever, is scarcely to be recommended.
Nor is it at all pleasant, as that gentle
man will be ready at this moment to
admit. Mr.. Adams found himself IN
Liverpool sans six sous, and being of a
sans souci disposition, determined to get
home by new and original method OF
"macing the rattler," as craftsman
would say, i'd est of cheating the railroad
company. His idea, to say the least OF
it, was ingenious, but he had reckoned
without his host He procured two stout
pieces of rope, which he fastened 10 the
axles of the carriage, leaving moose at
the end of each. Into one moose ne put
his legs while he inserted his shoulders
into the other. In this position he hung
when the train started. The train was
an express and did not stop until Crewe
was reached, which is about seventy
miles from Liverpool. He was rather
uncomfortable when the train began to
move, but when it got into full swing ne
had real torture and when he reached
Crewe he was nearly dead with fright.
Here he was taken into custody. To the
magistrate who adjudicated on the case case
he explained that his sensations when
swaying to and fro were something awful
and the effect of the sleepers as they
rushed past him nearly robbed him. OF
reason and be "was afraid that every mo-
ment the rope would slip from his should
ers and hang him" The magistrate de-,
cided very cutely that he had had
enough punishment, and remarking very
sagely that he was not likely to repeat
the experiment sent him about his bust
ness. An excursion on the stick of a
Congreve rocket or on the tail of a comet
might be more exciting than this, but
not much american Register.

The Monkey and the Sugar.

A recent English writer gives the fol-
lowing illustration of the sagacity of ami.
mails, which will interest our young read
ers, if not their elders as we'll
remember once in India, giving a
tame monkey lump of sugar in corked
bottle. The monkey was Of an inquiring
mind, and it nearly killed it. Some.
times, in an impulse of disgust, it would
throw the bottle away, out Of its own
reach, and then be distracted until it was
given bac.; TO it. At others, it would sit
with the countenance of the most intense
detection, contemplating the bottled
sugar, and then, as if pulling itself to-.
gether for another effort of solution,
would sternly take up the problem afresh,
and gaze into it.
1t would tilt it up one way, and try to
drink the sugar out Of the neck, and then,
suddenly reversing it, try to catch it as it
fell out at the bottom.
Under the impression that it could
capture it by surprise, it kept rasping
its teeth against the glass in futile bites,
and warming to the pursuit of the revolv-
ing lump, used to tie itself into regular
knots round the bottle.
Nothing availed, however, until one
day light was shed upon the problem by
a jar of olives falling from the table with
crash, and the fruit rolling about in all
directions. His monkeyship contem.
plated the catastrophe, and reasoned
upon it with the intelligence of Hum
boldt.
Lifting the bottle high in his paws,
he brought it down upon the floor with a
tremendous noise, smashing the glass
into fragments, after which be calmly
transferred the sugar to his mouth, and
.mulched it with much satisfaction

Filtration in Court,

BALTIMORE, March lin 1881 John
Tolly Johns, a wealthy and eccentric
citizen of Baltimore County, died, leaving
an estate valued at about 100000 and
several Wills. He was known to have
been particularly erratic at the time he
made bis last will, which ignored his
nearer relatives, and consequently the
latter contested the will. The case came
up for trial in the spring of 1882. One
of the interested parties was DR.. John
Caldwell, prominent physician of this
city, who had his young and charming
daughter Maud as witness to old Johns
insanity. On the jury was F. L. Barreda
Turner, dashing young member OF the
Baltimore Corn and Flour Exchange.
He became smi.ten with the fair witness,
aud could not refrain from gazing at her
pretty face Curing the remainder of the
trial. The young lady, becoming aware
of his attentions, and being desirous of
making as strong an impression on the
Jury as possible, smiled at the loye.sick
juror. He smiled back and afterward
bowed, and the salutation was returned.
This Irritation was kept up to the dis
may of the defendants lawyers, who,
when they lost the case, tried hard to get
a new trial on the strength of this pub
lie Irritation. At the hearing on the mo.
tion for new trial it was proved that
Turner had fought hard in the jury room
to have the will broken, and had spoken
often of Miss Caldwell, saying at one
time:
"Wbat pity it would be to give ver-
dict against such lovely girl"
Mr.. Turner acknowledged that he had
been smitten, but denied that it in any
way influenced his action. AS soon as
the trial ended, however, he made haste
to cultivate Miss Caldwell's acquaintance,
and succeeded so we'll that in . short
time they were engaged. The wedding
took place quietly on Saturday last.

A FEW WORDS FROM
CAPT. R. w. BONNER.
A WELL-KNOWN
CITIZEN OF MACON, GA.

In August, 1881, nearly three years ago, my son,
who was at that time living at Clinton, Ca, came
over to sec me with the sad intelligence that his
wife was in the last stages of consumption and
that her physician had pronounced her case hope
less. I went Immediately over, and felt that
nothing could be done. She was coughing and
splitting inccssantly and ut times would discharge
from her lungs large quantity Of pus or matter
could not sleep or retain anything on her stonl-
ach and was In fact, in the last stages Of the dis
case. This was about the time you began TO ad-
vcrtise Brewers Lung Restorcr, and as my son
expressed a desire to give 1t to his wife, two or
three bottles were procured and with scarcely
vestige OF hope we commenced giving 1t to her in
small doses, gradually increasing the quantity un-
I'll the prescribed dose was reached. She began to
improve after few doses and continued to do 30
daily, until she was finally restored to life and
health, and Is to-day perhaps in better health than
ever before. She is subject to colds, but few
swallows of Brewers Lung Restorer (Which she is
never without) relieves her Immediately. I con-
slider her restoration to perfect health miracle,
for which she Is indebted to Brewers Lung Re-
storer. My son is almost monon,aniac on tho
subject Of Brewers Lung Restorer and never lets
an opportunity pass where he thinks such medi-
cine would be required, that he does not speak Of
it in most glowing terms. Not long srce North
ern gentleman on his way to Florida heard of this
cure and was induced by my son t. give it to his
invalid wife, and she was cured as If by magic"
