Private adv .ces from San Francisco say
that TX Senator Sharon is fast breaking
down under the troubles forced upon him
by Sarah Aithea and her lawyers. The
Old man was always weak physically, but
the modification and chagrins. the re
proaches OF his friends aud the co'dnesS
OF his children, all growing our OF his
relations with the pestiterous Sarah Al
thea, are more than human nature can
stoically bear. II is said that his daugb-
ter Flora, wife Of Sir Thomas Iesketh,
Of England, is 30 Disguised with her
father that she has had no communica~
ton with him since her salt began. Her
own social position IN England has been
cruelty injured. As for Sir Thomas, HIM
self, he Is mad through and through.
Another complication Is the marriage Of
the son, Fred Sharon, a few months ago,
under circumstances which set every
tongue to ~waggiuc. Tie fair bride Is
the daughter OF a very wealthy gentle
man, and the divorced wife Of J. w.
breckenridge, son 1.-THE late Vice Prcsi-
cent. The marriage was q hastily con
trIved affair. TIL y were married. and the
same night left for Europe. The scandals
which have besct his name. the dreadful
cost OF the Hill Litigation, the possibility
that he may yet be mulcted 10 half his
fortune aud the terrible ~annoyauces of
the past year promise to land the bad
gered millionaire under the sod In a very
short time. Chicago Herakl.

the down track the bog rolled eff to the
up track and the sleigh went under the
passing tram and was smashed. Al that
moment a Granton specia ,raiu was IA
p}dIy approaching from the south on the
up track, The engineer was Mr. Robin

sleigh. The engineer saw she accident.
Dut did not know it was his own son that

sou put on his air brakes and brought
his train to such a sudden halt that it
threw the passengers irUm their seats:
but he stopped tie engine about four feet
from the boy, who had been slightly hurt
by the fall. As soon a. the train had
stopped Mr.. Robinson saw that the little
fellow h. had sayed from death vas his

SIR EDWARD MALET's BRIDES
DOwRY. London, March %. The
dowry given by the Duke of Bedford to
his daughter on her marriage with Sir
Edward Malet yesterday was $3.50, 900,
invested in c%ons0ls. The papers to day
have columns Of descriptions of the gor-
geous wedding ceremony 10 Westminster
Abbey. The radical newspapers con-
trast the unseemly splendor of the wed
ding pageant with the Duke of Bedford's
constant ~refusals to subscribe to local
charities. They recall the fact that the
bulk Of his immense income is derived
from the rental Of rookeries in London
siums which are 10 a sad state of dilapida-
ton They also recall that during the
snail poX scare in London last summer
the Duke Of Bedford refused to clean the
pestilential alleys of his property around
Covent Garden Market, and even refused
to allow others to remove the accumulate
ed filth Of years. 1t is said that the only
time when his Grace shows a lively sense
OF his duties as a landlord is when some
tenant fails to pay his rent, IN viii, b
case the tenant is evicted with great
pr0mptuesS.

How TO PUT AN EGG IN A BOTTLE.
A writer in the Rura{ Nego Yorker
tells the young folks how they may per-
form the magic feat o fputting an eeg in
to a bottle. Like many other things. it
is easy enough when you know This
IS the way 1t IS done: Soak a fresh egg
for several days in strong vinegar. The
acid of the vinegar will eat the lime off
the shell, SO that while the egg looks
the same it will lie soft and capable of
compression. Select a bottle with the
neck 4 third smaller than the egg.
With a little care you will have no
trouble in pressing the latter into the
bottle. Fill the bottle half full Of lime
water, and in a few days you will have
a hard-shelled egg in a bottle with a
ueck It third smaller than tle egg. OF
course YOU pour of the lime water as
oOn as the shell hardens. How the
EGG got into the bottle will be IA conun-
drum uhat few can answer.

Ia few days ago Mr.. r. B. HAYES,
Of Ohio, succeeded IN collecting from the
Government OF the United States a fraud
ulent claim amounting to 81 $50. 10. We
call the claim fraudulent because that, is
tie only adjective correctly describing it..
Hayes has been trying for eight years to
get Congress TO repay to him the alleged
expenses Of some Of his friends whom he
sent to louisiana in 1877, on his own re-
sponsIbllIty and for his Own benefit. to
carry u part OF the bargainithat put him
INTO the White House. Not content with
drawing two or three hundred thousand
dollars from the treasury as e~moluments
OF an office to which another man was
elected, this Ohio p~oultryman has been
planning and figuring for years IN order
to shift to the people the last seventy
three cents OF the cost Of the nation
shame.
He succeeded By a trick on the final
day OF the recent session. He has ALREADY
drawn the money. By this time it is
safely slowed away in the dark depths of
his blue china teapot; or is secretly dis
posed OF in some co-ner Of the straw mat
tress Cd which the Fraud rests his limbs
after the f~atigues Of a day around the
chicken c0ops.
While it is manifestly impossible to
compel Hays by process Of law to dis
gorge the 50, $50. 10 out of which he has
just swlndled the nation, there is another
matter which seems to require the atten-
ton of the officers Of the Department OF
