TWICE MARRIED.
A STRANGE BUT TRUE sroRY.

- pAAN1NGn AoOI bIOhHs
A marriage license was issued in Chi
cago 4 short time ago, connected with
which there IS story as strange as any
ever conceived in the brain of a profes-
sional story teller 1t is story which
requires not the art of the story teller to
make it interesting; the bare facts are
enough. The parties to the contract were
married over seven years ago, were never
divorced, and yet procured q license to
get married again. To begin at the be-
ginning:
Iu the spring of 1878 Wilhelm Her
mann emigrated from his native home in
Wurtemburg, Germany, intending to set
tie with some relatives in a small town
in the State. of Louisiana. When he got
as far as New Orleans he decided to stop
there some time. and about two months
after his arrival he was married to Amelia
hettich, the daughter of an old German
resident of that city. Three DAYS after
his marriage no was enticed by chance
acquaintance into one of the low beer
saloons on the levee at New Orleans. was
drugged, robbed and carried aboard 4
German trading vessel bound for New
castle, England. Il was eight months
later before the vessel reached that port.
Immediately on gaining his liberty Her
mann sought the German consul at
Newcastle and narrated the story Of his
wrongs. He begged the consul to assist
him to return to his wife and home at New
Orleans without delay; but the consul
refused, saying that, as Hermann had no
naturalization papers or anythfngin the
way of legal claim on the United
States, he was still q German citizen.
Then the consul sent for the CAPTAIN Of
the vessel and compelled him to deliver
Hermann to the German authorities. On
his arrival at Berlin he was pressed into
the army, and bound over to 4 four
years term Of military service. He IN
derwent the drudgery and severe disci-
pline to which unwilling recruits are sub
lected n the German army for q space of
nearly three years, when, seeing chance
70 escape from the country, he deserted
ALI this time he had been constantly
looking forward with an all-abiding
faith, and love, and hope to reuaion
with has bride. He reached New Or
leans exactly four years after his first ar
rival in that city. He then learned khak
his wife, thinking he was dead. had
married again and had left the CITY. No
one knew whittier. He started ont ~
search for her. For nearly wear he
wandered over the preater part 81 the
Southern States, following many clewr
which turned out 70 bs false. until -
last he received letter from herself ehe
told him that she had given him m for

Al SInguIar Race.

In Sumatra there is q very singular
race, called the Kubus, who are too shy
to mix with the other races of the island,
and dwell in the recesses of the forests.
They are looked on as interiors by the
Malays, and thought to be little better
than beasts. Such is their shyness that
they will never willingly face . stranger.
Their trade with the Malayans is conse-
Quently carried on in a strange manner.
The trader.announces his arrival by beat
ing gong, and then retires from the
place Of rendezvous. The Kubus APP
proach, put their forest treasures on the
ground, beat q gong, and retreat. The
trader returns and lays his commodities
down in quantities sufficient, as he thinks,
for the purchase of the goods on sale.
Then he retires, and the Kubus reappear
and consider the bargain. And 50. after
more Withdrawals and approaches and
gong beatings, the respective parties
come to an understanding, and carry off
independently their bargains. The Ku-
bus in their wild state do not bury their
dead. They live on snakes, grubs, fruits,
and the flesh Of any deer or pigs they
can STAY. They arc skiIlful spearmen,
and throw stones with marvellous accur-'
acy. They know of no state after death.
In some physical respects they assimilate
closely to the anthr0pOid apes

Beyond the Veil.


The sun, as it fingered on the edge Of
the horizon sinking so slowly that one
might say it regretted to leave the
world in darkness lighted up his face
until the grandchild asleep on his knee
would hardly have recognized him had
she opened her eyes.
Old aud feeble and gray--ready TO bid
farewell to earth-he was child again,
and his mind had the thoughts Of q
child The sun had gone down and the
dusk had come on for him ten thousands
of times without question, but this time
he felt afraid aud whispered:
''Ohl sun, do not leave me just yet.
Wait until am man, aud shall care
not whether it is day or night.
And the sun whispered back to him;
81 have seen you pass from childhood
to manhood and back. You cannot
travel the path again"
s'But wait little longer. When have
grown to be youth the coming of night
viii have no terrors for me"
'tAlasl old man, answered the de-
clining sun, "a grand old tree cannot
become a shrub again. 1t may be splin-
tered or uprooted by the hurricane, but
it must die as a tree
seThen remain with metz pleaded the
old man. any limbs are feeble, and
your light will safely guide my foot
steps. "
fThat cannot do, but will send the
moon to cast her rays upon the earth and
soften the darkness of the night"
And when the moon came the old
mans locks were changed from the gold
of sunset to the silver OF evening, and
the burrows Of age were melted and soft
ened until they could no longer be seem
And he whispered to the moon:
do not leave me tonight, for am
old and afraid of the darkness of night. +"
II cannot stay beyond my fixed time, y
answered the moon, ''but when / 60
will send the stars to keep youcompany.
II had a children-friends.
Bring them back to me from the mys-
teri0us unknown
'sAlasl but the dead are dead" And
the moon went away and the stars came,
and the old man pleaded:
81 am old and lonely. Bear me com
pany during my brief stay on earth"
And one bright star answered for all
the rest:
"A hand greater than mans controls
our movements. Look beyond us.
And the etars drew aside the mystic
veil, and the old mans eyes looked be-
hind it. They lighted up with the fires
of youth of hope of anticipation OF
deep satisfaction. His aged face grew
young his limbs regained his strength
his blood coursed as in the veins of a
man in his prime. The stars held the
veil aside but moment, and yet he had
seen enough.
The child slept on, but the arms
around it gave up their strength.
The night-winds toyed with the old
mans gray locks, but he gave no heed.
A hand was laid on his shoulder and a
voice whispered in his ear, but he gave
no sign. The grand old tree had given
up its life on earth to begin anew behind
the veil. Detroit free Press.

The epidemics Of 1880, 1915, and 1866
caused the people everywhere to adopt
preventive measures which were
thought to have great efficacy. Care in
diet was considered most important, of
course, aud fruits were almost entirely
discarded. Watermelons and cucum-
bers were looked upon as poisonous, and
even ripe peaches and other harmless
fruit were permitted to rot. So heavy
we're the losses by fruit growers and
dealers in the East in 1880, that for 4
few years after the plague disappeared
no one would raise melons and other OBJ
jectionable vegetables and fruits for fear
that they could not be disposed oil.
Boiled rice, mnsh and milk, and bread
and milk became the principal artic~ss
Of diet Ia many families. and meats and
other heavy foods were partaken of very
sparingly. Camphor came into universal
use as a disinfectant, and nearly every
body wore some of il on the person.

Tho silver Question.

Silver Is the mudstll upon which
rests the worlds trade. Verify silver,
and not gold, ia the money Of tie
world. IL there was or could be a
necessity for demonetizing either
metal, it should be gold. The only ss-
vantage anywhere claimed for gold is
that it is not SO bulky and ii is better
for tho large transactions; but we
have learned the art OF the Certificate
for both gold and silver. We there
fore use neither of the metals except
silver in our circulation. The gold
and silver certificates have taken the
place substantially OF the coin. The
silver certificate Is as convenient for
large o Transactions as is the
for many years been ex-
porting more ailver, ard settling mora
debts abroad with silver than god.
We are the producers of silver. Nearly
one-half Of the worlds production Of
silver comes from our mineB, Tne
greater the value We give to it at homo
the more it will be worth abroad, snd
the more value to us cur mines be-
come. But the great benefit TO be de-
rived from the unlimited coinage or
use OF silver as money is bringing 1t
into competition with gold, so as to
lower the value OF gold, or. what is
the aame thing, raising the value and
price Of all labor and the products OF
