Cause Of Mortality Among Perch.

Last Summer remarkable mortality existed
among the perch in Lake Mendoza, at Madison,
Wis. dead fish being washed up on the shore
in countless numbers. Thirty tons were buried
by the authorities alone. The fish were fat,
of good color, and apparently perfectly sound.
United States Fish Commissioner Baird de-
tailed Prof. S. A. Forbes of the Illinois State
College at Champaign, to investigate the mys-
terry. Prof. Forbes has just made report,
which shows that the mortality was due to
spherical germ, about one twenty five thou
sandth of an inch in diameter, which attacked
the liver and kidneys, forming assesses Oft
times and destroying the cells of the organ.
The germ belongs to group which produces
smallpox, chicken cholera and hog cholera.
The perch are supposed to have caught the
cantagion from deep water herring.

He Hanged Himself at Sea.

On Friday night last the steamer Thingvalla
arrived at Hoboken, carrying with it the corpse
of Neillsen Eckstedt. The unfortunate man
had been a stoker on the steamer, and, when
the vessel was two days from port, he com.
planned of sickness, and asked the Chief Engi-
neer to excuse him from duty. His chief re-
fused and compelled him to go to work. Eek
stcdt worked for about half an hour longer be-
fore the hot furnace, when he threw down his
shovel and crcpt into his bunk. The Engineer
reported him to the Captain, who told the Sur
geon to see if there was anything the matter
with the man. The Surgeon, upon examina-
ton, said that from all appearances the stoker
was well and able to do his work. Upon this
he was thrown into the punishment room He
pleaded for medicine. bat the doctor turned
deaf ear to his appeals. For two hours he re-
NAMED in the dark hole. When the steward
visited him and asked him if he would go to
work, he replied that he could not, that he
was not able. An hour later, on the cell being
again visited, the unhappy man was found
hanged. The body was cat down, but the Cap
tain thought it best, under the circumstances
not to bury it at sea. 1t was therefore packed
in ice and carried to Hoboken, where burial
permit was granted. The suicide leaves wife
and four small children in Stockholm, where
he lived.

He Lost His Leg.

Thomas F. Segur, young man living in
Brooklyn, N. Y, few days since felt a sudden
pain in his right leg as he was crossing the
Brooklyn Bridge. When he reached the build
ing in which he was employed he found himself
unable to mount the stairs. An ambulance was
summoned, and he was carried to the New York
Hospital, where his case was pronounced to be
paralysis. closer examination, however
revealed the strange fact that a clot of blood
had choked up one of the arteries in the limb,
and that gangrene had set in below the point of
stoppage. 1t was found necessary to amputate
the limb as soon as the exact point where the
gangrene lay could be located. Similar cases
are very rare, and no cause for their occurrence
has yet been discovered

A Georgia LynChing.

Peter Stamp, colored man, who has been
employed for some years by>a we'll TODD farmer
named Ambercrombie, near Douglasville, Ga,
was lynched on Friday last for an alleged out
rage on Ida. the 13-year-old daughter of his
employer The girl confessed that Stamp was
the father of her unborn child; that year ago
he outraged her and since that time the inter-
course has been continued The negro declared
that the girl willingly submitted, and that he
used no violence. Soon after making the con-
fession Ida fell down in commissions and died
in short time. A post norton examination
revealed the presence of strychnine in the girls
stomach. 1t is mystery as to whether she
committed suicide, and some suspect her father
of administering the poison. Stamp was As
years of age.

ANEW Kind Of Potato Rus.

Connecticut farmers are becoming alarmed
on account of new kind Of potato beetle which
has just made its appearance in different parts
of that State. For several years the Colorado
have been obliged to fight with parisgreen and
other poisonous substances sprinkled on the
vines from the time the young shoots first ap-
peared until after the plants had blossomed.
The battle has been Q constant one, and this
season planters seemed to have gained suprem-
acy, as the ravages of the beetle have been
much less destructive than for seven years
before. The new enemy first appeared in
Hartford on the 2O-acre patch of DR.. J. M.
Riggs, and now there are reports of ravages by
the same insects at Green's farm and at North
Bridgeport. The bugs are wholly unlike the
Colorado beetle. They are black and some
what longer than the common potato bug, more
active, and fly more readily. The pests come
in colonies and destroy whole plant in
very short time.

BEATRICE MARRIED.
The Youngest Daughter of Queen Victoria Marrie
Prince Henry Of Battenberg.

On Thursday of last week Princess Beatrice,
the youngest and only single daughter of Queen
Victoria, was united in marriage to Prince
Henry Of Battenberg, at st. Mildred's Church,
near London, with much pomp and ceremony.
The Archbishop of Canterbury and the Dean
of Windsor performed the ceremony, assisted
by number of other high dignataries of the
Church of England.
The 93d Highlanders guarded the approaches
to the church, while the road traversed by the
procession was lined by volunteers. The bridal
procession started from the palace at Ills
Loyal and enthusiastic shouting and cheering
greeted the pageant as it emerged from the
gates and the demonstration was taken up and
continued by the people along the whole route
to the church. Bands of music posted at diff
ferent points along the route played as the
bridal party passed, aud the road from the
palace to the church was gay with evergreen
arches flowers and flags.
The interior of the church, with its exquisite
floral decoration, presented a beautiful appear
ance, and the magnificent display of bright
uniforms and handsome toilets made the scene
most impressive. The dress of the bride was
much admired, and the bridesmaids, clad in
lovely white gossamer, attracted much atten-
ton. The Prince of Wales, who wore the uni
form of field marshal, gave the bride away,
and his two sons, Victor and George wearing
brilliant uniforms. were also present.
Princess Beatrice is In her 18th year. She is
a tall, light-haired, plain featured woman but
is highly educated, and has gained some repu-
tation as an artist. Quite number of times
she has figured before the public as candidate
for matrimony, and there has been no lack of
impecunious Princes who have desired to get
hold of the plethoric pursestrings of the Eng
lish people through an alliance with her. At
one time it was rumored that she would wed
the Prince Imperial of France, but the death
Of that gallant young soldier in the Zulu war
put an end to that scheme. Among the other
candidates for the large fortune and the annuity
which the British Parliament always attaches
to the numerous progeny of Victoria were
Prince Oscar of Sweden, Amadeo of Spain, and
Louis Of Battenberg. elder brother of the groom.
Prince Louis of Hesse, husband of the brides
deceased sister Alice, it is said, would have
married her but for the English law forbidding
such alliances.
The bridegroom, Prince Henry Maurice of
Battenberg, is one of the numerous petty Ger
man Princes, and has neither money nor power
to bolster up his title. His pay as an officer in
the Prussian army is but $500 year. to which
an indulgent father adds an annual allowance
of $3.50 thus bringing up the yearly income of
the young man to the handsome sum Of $3.50.

He Won the Bet, But Lost His Life.

Jacob Schatz was the victim of curious ac-
cident at an ice pond short distance from
Middleton, o. He wagered with some COM
panions that he could exist two minutes under
water, and, plunging from boat, he grasped
an iron chain connected with some of the ice
lifting machiery, and remained under water,
clinging to it for two minutes and three-quar
tiers. At the expiration of that time he came
to the surface, expelled the air from his lungs
and one Of his companions was just in the act
of reaching out to assist him into the boat when
the unfortunate man sank. A companion i'm
medlately dived after him, and he was lifted
into the boat but all efforts to restore life were
useless

This year the value of the agricultural and
pastoral products of Texas will reach the mag
nifcent sum Of $125,000,000 The acreage in
cultivation is greater than ever before. The
corn yield is immense. and it is believed will
not command more than 30 and % cents per
bushel. There are now ready for export 1000
600 head of fat cattle, while in the matter of
sheep and wool Texas now leads California.
The acreage in cotton this season is 20 per cent.
more than it was during the great crops of
1872, when over 100000 bales were made
in the State, and the present prospect for crop
of this valuable product is almost perfect. 1t is
thought that probably 100000 bales will be
raised.

apple tree. Others of the boys were slightly
burned. Physicians do not think his sight can

A Successful Elopement.

For some months past pretty Miss Mamie
Mack, aged Is, one of the bellies of the village
of Morysville, Pa, IL miles below Reading, has
been courted by William Gresh, and the young
couple determined on matrimony, but Miss
Mack's parents objected, owing to their daugh-
ter's age. The opposition of the old people,
however, had no effect, and one day last week
the girls lover drove pair of bay horses to the
Mack residence before dawn. Miss Mack was
an early riser, and she was up and dressed and
ready for the journey across the country. She
succeeded in getting away unheard, and to-
gether the lovers dashed along the country
road, leaving long cloud of dust behind them.
They went to friends house, and in very
short time Miss Mack had arrayed herself in
beautiful bridal dress that had been secretly
made some weeks before. They then drove to
the house of the Rev. Mr. Bayer, who tied the
knot. A half hour later the train with the
young couple was speeding on to Philadelphia.
