A TOUCHING SToRY.-George Skinner, a
prosperous young druggist of Hackensack,
N. j., was to have been married early in the
coming year to Miss Eva Hasbrouck, daugh-
ter of leading physician of that city. Skin
ner was taken sick last week, and Monday
morning he was alarmingly i'll, and bis ply
sicians informed him he would probably not
live more than six hours. When the ply
sicians had gone and the news had been
broken to the family. young Skinner sent
for his betrothed. In a little while the Rev.
Charles T. Anderson, pastor of the Hacken-
sack Presbyterian Church, was called into
the sick room to perform a marriage cere-
mony. The young man was too weak 70
sit up, so Eva Hasbrouck sat on the bedside
and held his hand while the minister read
the ser. ice. Mr.. and Mrs. Skinner and Mrs.
Hasbrouck were in the room. 1t was very
affecting scene, but the young man, SO soon
to pass away, was the most tranquil and re-
signed of all. He noticed that the clock
struck one just as the ceremony was finish
ed. The patient revived little after his
marriage, but it only served to make his
swift decline after nightfall the more notice
able. Early Tuesday morning, before Eva
Skinner had been wife eighteen hours,
her husband died in her arms. The pathet-
ic romance is the talk of the. town. 1t was
a case of pure love, and the death-bed mar
rage was mutually desired.

A VIRGINIA MANGANESE MINE.-W. l..
Morrow, of Chambersburg, Pa, who has
been in the city several days. exhibiting to
various manufacturers samples of manga
nese ores from his newly-opeaed mine in
Shenandoah county, Va, LIFT for home
Thursday To a reporter Nv Morrow said:
81 fluid that can sell more Of the ore than

ed in number Of the mills here, and pro-
nounced as fine specimens of manganese as
have ever been mined. There is consldera-
BILE manganese in Pennsylvania, but there
is such high percentage of phosphorus and
sulphur in the ore that it is almost worth
less in steel manufacture. Manganese is
largely used in the manufacture of steel to
throw off the sulphur and phosphorus in
the ore, and especially Pennsylvania ores.
1t is also used in glass manufacturing, to
overcome the yellowish tinge left by traces
of iron. Experts have told me that no bet
ter mines of this material exist in the
United States than mine. Larger contracts
have been offered me here than can fill for
months, because the mine is not developed.
There are about 1000 acres in the tract, of

consideration. "-Patsburg ePa.) Dispatch.

BRAVE AND. GENEROUS WoRDs.-The
Buffalo IN. " Commercial Advertiser, a
strong Republican paper says: "The New
York Tribune's Washington correspondent
might be doing better work than sneering at
the 'crutch' carried by Senator-elect John
Warwick Daniel of Virginia. He was a
gallant Confederate officer, who held high
rank in the Confederate forces before he was
of age. In the terrible battle of the Wild
erness his thigh was crushed by ball, and
bis leg now hangs almost useless. A drawer
soldier did not enlist on that side during
the war, and there is nothing to be gained
by depreciating his courage or intimating
that the 'crutch' is carried for the effect it
may produce. Mr.. Daniel has the best
blood of Virginia in his veins. Proud he
may we'll be, for his fellow-citizens have
rapidly promoted him politically. Conceit-
ed he is not, for he is made in altogether
too fine mould for that. In private character
he is irreproachable, in talent conspicuous,
in industry indomitable. He had attained at
the bar in Lynchburg. Va, and in old Vir-
ginia, prominent position as very young
man. 1t is to be regretted that Mr.. Daniels
sympathies are with the Bourbons political
ly; but the South is honored in such a rep
resentative; and when he was elected to
the Senate the public service gained an
active, an honest and very talented
man."

A BLADE THAT CUTS BOTH WAYs.-Boy-
cotting has begun to attract notice at the
North, and vigorous counter-attack was
made the other day by manufacturer,
which shows that two can play at the game.
He shut down" his establishment and dis
charged all his people. saying that as they
boycotted themselves he felt no conjunction
in suspending his business. His employees
had not taken this view of the matter, and
the result was that the ban was removed
and work resumed. The impulse to ''boy-
colt" is not a just or amiable one, but it is
natural, and we have no doubt that, like all
other moral epidemics, it will run its course.
In the end, how ever, it must be abandoned,
for it is blade that cuts both ways, and in
the end wounds the hand which yields it.
A remarkable illustration of this is furnish
ed by the fact, the England is now turning
this weapon against the Irish within her
borders -Nortok Landmark.

New York is rapidly losing favor as city
of residence. Commerce is claiming the
island as her own, and society is taking
wing. 1t is noticeable that the Summer
vacations are becoming longer. Formerly
families divided up the year into ten months
in the city and two in the country. Now
the custom is to spend four, five and six
months at the Summer resorts. Many are
now making the country their home, and
The city only brief temporary abiding
place during three or four months of winter,
when the country becomes unbearable.
Some New York families spend the Winter
in Washington, or further South, and the
summer in the country. Elegant Summer
mansions have become the fashion. The
absence of homes in the best sense of the
word is a feature of New York which dis
tinguishes it from Baltimore, Philadelphia
and Boston and it is feature which destroys
al local sentiment or neighborhood pride,
and does not contribute in dny marked de-
gree to its good government or its influence
in the nation.-N. Y. cor. Bait. Sun.
