How nm Expert Cleared Woman Of the
Charge Of Murder.
The only instance on record when
the blood Of two persons was compared
in criminal trial. said DIR. Piper to .
cal reporter. yesterday. F''was in q
murder case in Chicago. The compar-
ison settled the innocence Of the woman
on trial for her life. The story Of the
bloody transaction Is as follows: A
comely woman. with so. 900. married q
man in Chicago. and placed her snug
little fortune in his business In the
course of time he began to abuse her.
and finally she decided 70 appeal for
divorce. The double calamity of losing
q woman TO beat and the withdrawal OF
her 60, 600 from his business made the
brute furious. and the next morning he
was found dead in one corner Of his
bedchambcK bullet having gone
through his heart His wife was found
wounded, in another part Of the room.
She said that her husband had come
home the night before in rage and
began to abuse her while she was in
bed; that he hit her ON the head with
the butt Of his revolver while her head
was on the pillow. and spattered blood
over the linen, that she jumped up, and
he shot her, iniiicting slight flesh
wound in her side. she then rushed at
him, and snatching the revolver frola
him. shot him through the heart. He
rceled 70 the corner where he was found
and died. The prosecution did not be-
lievc her story, and set up the theory
that she had shot him while he was
asleep and dragged him to the corner,
and then inflicted the wound on her
self. The carpet where the dead man
lay was saturated with blood. Accord
ing to the theory Of the prosecution the
blood on the pillow was his also. put

An Original Letter.

Just twenty-eight years ago, accord
ing to a recently -resurrected diary of a
private secretary of the fifteenth presi-
dent of the United States, Mr.. Buchan-
an received the following letter from a
rural postmaster in Illinois, who had
just discovered that the regulations of
the department required quarterly..re-
port from him:
MISTER JEEMs BUCKCANNTN-Deer
Sur :-Bein required by the lnstruc-
ions of the Post office to report to you

turn out more than ten bushels to the

Advice to Young Married People.

"Drive gently over the stones ~
This piece of ADVICE, which is frequent
ly given to inexperienced whips, may
be respectfully suggested to the newly
married. There are stony places on
the road to happiness, which if not
carefully driven oyer, may upset the
domestic coach. The first rock ahead
which should be marked dangerous"
is the first year of married life. Here,
especially is the first step that costs; as
rule, the first year either mars or
mak es marriage. During this period
errors may be committed which will
cast shadow over every year that fol-
lows. On awakening suddenly from
sleep we feel put out and rather cross.
May not the young husband and wife
experience feelings not entirely Sdiffer-
ent when they awake to reality from
the dreams of courtship and the fascin-
alton of the honeymoon Everything
must once more be contemplated after
the ordinary manner of the world, once
more with subdued feelings spoken Of,
considered and settled. For the first
time husband and wife see each other
as they actually are. Each brings GER
tain peculiarities into the married state
to which the other has to grow accus-
toned. They have now to live no Ion
ger for themselves, but for each other,
and the lesson is not learned in mo.
ment. Tn all things Indifferent the
husband and wife must be willing to
yield, however new it may be to them,
however different from what they
themselves thought. Self must be sac.
rificed in order thereby to gain the help
of another beloved existence. A lady
once asked DR.. johnson how in his
dictionary he came to define pastern
the knee of horse he immediately
answered Ignorance, madam pure
ignorance. This is the simple expla-
nation of many an accident that takes
place at the commencement Of the mat
rimonial journey. Tbs young couple
have not yet learned the dangerous pla-
ces of the road, and, as consequence,
| thev drive carelessly over them. .-Ihe

OLD JASPER'S LUCK.
The Astonishing Revolution Lot
terry Prize Wrought.

Henry Christian, Cuba's partner i'm
the barber business, tells story on O
venerable relative of his who lived
down in Mississippi. Jasper was his
name and a few years ago he drew a
SIS 900 cash price in lottery. The sum
was measureless wealth. The word
millions conveyed to the guileless mind
of old Jasper no idea OF greater wealth
than did the sight of his SIS 900. He
was wood sawyer by occupation, and
his first act after getting possession Of
his money was to throw away his saw
buck and saw. He next placed $4,000
in the hands of trusty white man OF
business ,and with the remaining 50 900
he resolved TO buy the universe-the
earth alone being quite too insignificant
to engage his attention more than a
passing moment.
We'll, sah,' said Chris, de way dat
old man did lope and frow hisself beat
all. De fus' thing he did was to buy
his ole woman silk dress an a red
woolen shawl. Then he went fshin'-

he got back he jest give de hull rig a.

'On count of dat unlucky play he
took his ole SOW an tied her to a pos

But the po' ole man got lef' soon af-

Leaving the Far N.

The Journal of Education argues th at
if the young men from the rural dis
tricts, after receiving the benefits ..of
education, desert the farms to engage
in mercantile and other kinds of busi-
ness, where they can secure for them
selves a larger share of this worlds
comforts and enjOyments, with shorter
hours of TOLL the schools ought not to
be blamed, but praised, for affording
them the grand opportunity This is
a matter about which there is much
difference of opinion. The boy ought
not to get the impression that all the
grand opportunities are to be found
in the cities. There are opportunities
quite as grand In rural life, and the
boy ought to be made to see them in or
der that he may not mistake his proper
course. The disposition of young men
to leave the farm does not need any
special encouragement.

nRH GRANT


Reports from those best qualified 10
know, all agree that General Grant is n
very sick man, and that there is little or
nO hope for his recovery. He is break
ING down, but has displayed much cour-
age and up TO last week had been doing
regular work un his forthcoming book.
The knowledge of his true condition has
been kept from the public, for some
reason, until now; though he has all
along maintained that his trouble was
caused by a cancerous growth at the
root Of the tongue, caused undoubtedly
by excessive smoking. Every time he
speaks or breathes or eats this is dis
turbed. 1t is difficult To treat it for
that reason. There has been times
when the growth has been temporarily
checked but il was never arrested ana
is steadily increasing. There has been
considerable loss of tissue of the soft
palate. He takes nourishment every
day in n liquid form, and cannot eat
solid food because he has lost all his
teeth. They were extracted in the hope
of easing the pain I'm his face. This
pain, although it resembles neuralgia is
not pure and simple, but it is a reflec-
ton of the pain caused by the cancerin
his throat. He has been suffering from
severe pain in the right ear and on
top of the head. To ease this his head

may live for months yet, as men suffer
ing from this disease have done, but /
don't think there is any hope, however,
that lie will recover" said his physi-
clan this week.
The late failure of the firm of Grant
X Ward had much to do with General
Grants health, as he has been worried
over financial matters.
Congress having passed the bill au-
thorizing the president to name one per-
son on the retired list of the army.
President Arthur, as almost his last Of
fetal, act sent in the name of General
Grant to the senate on Wednesday NAM
ing him as general commanding the ar
mics OF the United States, to be general
on the retired lat with full pay Of such
rank. The appointment was confirmed
in open session without opposition.
