A DECREASE IN MARRIAGES.

Father Kirsch, of Atlanta, up
braided his young people for not get
ting married. He gives the causes
as follows:
First of all our mad pursuit of
wealth. The highest ambition of the
average young American is to be-
come rich. To the attainment ofthat
ends he links all his hopes and bends
all his energies. All other aims are
postponed and made secondary to
this ruling passion. He thinks of
matrimony at his ultimate destiny.
but ne wants to get rich before he
reaches it. AS a consequence the
best years of his life are spent in a
selfish seeking for gain. When he
has accumulated enough money to
place him where there could be no
possible objection on that score to
his marrying, he has often grown
~ VI 0N0H "FtISe 10 women,
and has acquired habits which he is
not wiling to give up for the benefits
OF married state. In the very pro-
cess by which he is trying to fit him
self for matrimony he acquires tastes
and habits which unfit him for it.
Another reason which goes along
with the love of money to deter our
young men from marrying is the too
prevalent RIGHTEOUSNESS among them.
limo country is vice made attractive
or so openly INDUCED in by the young
men. Often before they are aware
OF it they have acquired habits of
self indulgence which blunt their
finer sensibilities and obscure alike
their sense of duty to themselves as
regards the married state and the
pure joys it offers. Our young men
are generally EAST" Our cities fur
nish every facility for the qualification
OF their appetites and passions, and
they are ensnared into luxuries and
licentious single lives at an age when
they should be industrious, sober
and thrifty husbands and fathers.
This is a sad picture, but believe
an honest observation of the condi-
ton of our country will show that [
have not overdrawn it.
An editor of Baltimore says his OBJ
servation is this
That there is on the part of the
young men greater hesitation as to
burdening themselves with the cares
of families, and an increasing fond
ness for the comforts of club life.
For this they are not wholly to
blame. The standard of living de-
manded by people Sin society" now
is far higher than it was thirty years
ago. The dressing was less costly,
the house and the furniture simpler,
the amusements less expensive A
young man with a small income did
not so greatly fear to undertake the
responsibilities of a family. No man
likes to ask a woman to come from
luxury at home to poverty as his
wife, and he is not sure to get Eyes"
for an answer if he does ask. The
scale of expense on which many
young ladies live does not accord
with the revenue of the largest ma
jority of young men.

yorce to-day from her husband, Edward
Clayburg, Of New York. The case
was called up for trial this morning be-
fore Judge White, and Mr.. Clayburg
being absent his counsel asked for a
continuance. Judge White said that
the defendant should have been here to
attend to matters and ordered the case
to proceed. Lillian Spencer was then
placed on the stand and testified as fol-
lows:

own accord, but had not been long mar
ried before he began to i'll treat me.

married me purely as matter of specu-
lation, and that was no more to him
than a valuable race.horse. lie wanted

On cross-examination Mrs. Clayburg
said she had always told people that
her husband was good and kind, and
that he never struck her in her life.

Natural Gas at Cleveland

A Cleveland co. special of the 81
says: The Cleveland Rollmg-Mill Com
pany last night struck a strong vein of
gas on a lot near its wire-mil at a
depth of 3,lG2 feet. The we'll was be-
gun more than year ago, and the
drill has successfully passed through
"shale " or suTiace-gas, salt water, aud
pure rock-salt. The company was on
the verge of abandoning the well when
the gas vein was struck.
When the stream of gas was lighted
the flame shot up to height of eigh-
teen feet. 1t has since declined to ten
feet. Experts say the supply is suf-
iicient to heat several boilers and light
the company's offices. 1t has been de-
cided to drill the we'll deeper, in the
hope of securing a better flow. The
tools this morning passed through a
bed Of saltpetre two feet thick.
Other wells will be started at once.
The discovery is regarded as of inn
meDse importance to the iron interests
of Cleveland. The chief ground OF the
Cleveland RolliDg-Mill Company for
holding out against 5000 striking en-
ployes last summer was that the slight
cost Of natural gas as fuel enabled
Pittsburgh manufacturers to work up
iron at prices ruinous to Cleveland
mills. The importance of obtaining the
new fuel was so manifest that within
the present week local capitalists have
organized company to transport it
hither through a pipeline from the
Pennsylvania gas-felds.

Life Wrecked by Rum.

A Philadelphia special says The
coroner to-day began an inquest on the
body of John S. Powell, formerly a
prominent lawyer of this city, who
died in the Almshouse Hospital yester-
day. Mr.. Powell had been away from
his home for nearly three weeks, and
on Monday last he was picked up on

liquor. At the request Of the widow
post-mortem examination will be made
to determine the cause Of death, and
the inquest was adjourned for
that purpose. Mr.. Powell was
born in Philadelphia, but lived for a
number Of years in Mississippi. He
returned to this city, entered the Office
of Benjamin Gorhardt, who was we'll
known lawyer and had an extensive
railroad practice. He also entered the
University of Pennsylvania, and was

Texas Prairie.

TEXAS Prairie.
cleveland Leader and Herald.
A prairie on fire is sight seldom
seen by people at the present time.
Mr.. b. p. Gardner, of the county au-
ditor's Office, tells Of thrilling expe-
rience he had not long ago while hunt
ing on the plains Of Texas.
1--WE left the railroad and Journeyed
into the interior Of the great State on
horseback" said Mr.. Gardner, " with
the tall, waving grass on every side as
far as the eye could reach. We saw
evidence of small fires from time to
time, but we had made up our minds
that we would see none Of the fiery ele-
ment itself. One Sunday we stopped
for the day at a point about five hun
dren miles from any railroad. Wspro-
ceeded to make ourselves comfortable
tor the day, for we were very tired and
we intended to take a good rest. After
breakfast we stretched ourselves out
on our blankets, with the ponies tied a
short distance away, and were taking it
las easy as we could.
"All at once we heard terrible
noise like distant thunder, and jump
ing up we saw sight We shall never
forget. The prairie was on fire. For
miles and miles, as far as we could see,
the flames shot up in the air with deaf
ening roar. The wind was blowing
fresh and the fire was coming toward
us with the swiftness of railroad train.
Looking in the opposite direction from
the fire there was nothing to be seen
but grass, grass, grass. There was no
way of escape. The roar Of the fire be-
came louder and louder every minute.
Birds went screaming by terrified by the
sight and sound, and almost every kind
of game person could think Of
went pell-mell past us, Screaming, boot
ing, barking, and screeching, caring for
nothing but to get out of the way of
the fire, which was chasing them at a
rapid rate, although it was yet many
miles away. Our old guide, who had
been around the praifies all his life. was
frightened much to my surprise. lie
cast his eye upon the fire and then away
upon the waving sea of grass beyond,
and said We must mount our ponies
quickly and ride away before the fire
as fast as we could. There was a trail
about ten miles away, he said and
when we reached that We would be all
right. We mounted our ponies, but |
knew well enough we could not 80 five
miles before the fire would catch US.
1.-The roaring increased, and it began
to get WI =. Birds and animals rush
ed by us more frantic than ever. An
idea struck me. Jumping from my
pony | rushed out into the tall grass
several hundred feet and started fire.
1t went with a whirl, and in q minute
or two a space Of three or four hundred
acres had been burned. We worked
with will, and soon had our ponies
and effects in the middle Of the bare
spot. Ii was none too soon, for look
ing in the direction of the fire | saw it
part at the point where we had stood a
few minutes before. and then 1t went by
us with terrific roar. Ii was terribly
smoky and hot, but we were not burned
to death, as we would have been if We
had followed the old guide

A Bishop Recovering His Reason.

A Chicago special says Bishop
James Duggan, who was translated
from st. Louis to Chicago as bishop in
1859, but who became afflicted with .
species Of chronic insanity in 1870 and
was removed to st. Vincent's Asylum,
st. Louis, is reported to be in a fair
way toward complete recovery. This
report is made on the very best author
ity-no less than that of DR.. Baudney,
the physician in charge of the asylum.
He made the admission very reluctantly,
as be thought such reports should not
be given currency out of consideration
for the relatives of persons suffering
from mental troubles who might be
buoyed up by hopes that might prove
10 be false. DR.. Baudney has been
treating the patient with cocaine, 3
drug in which he has great confidence.
lie holds to the opinion that it is pro-
fessional to use the drug even at the
risk of the patients acquiring the
cocaine habit. Bishop Duggan's case
has been so hopeless that DR.. Baudney
had given it little attention for long
time until the introduction Of cocaine.
While he would not admit directly
the condition Of the patient was i'm
proved, he remarked that still it some
times happens that hopelessly insane
people are restored to health. "The
brain is strange thing" said he, sand
the seemingly impossible is always pos
sible." Bishop Duggan is very mild
and inofiensiye and has the run Of the
house. His memory, strange to say, is
unimpaired, and he is great lover Of
literature.
