EAST POINT, GA, April 2, 1884.
My wife has been afflicted with terrible
form of scrofula for over fifteen years. Ply
sicians exhausted their skill, and numerous
patent medicines were used without benefit.
Her condition grew worse-her appetite
failed, attended with debility, emaciation,
falling out of the hair and frightful break.

establishment of all who knew her the recov.

A Romatic Marriage.
Exchange,

EACndnSe,
A very sensational marriage took
place on Thursday night at Chatham
Hill, twenty-five miles from Marion,
Va, which isas yet known to but few.
A buggy was pushed and lifted till
beneath a window in the second story
of the Jail. A man stood up, broke a
pane of glass in the window. Then
young woman climbed into the
buggy, man kneeled down in the
buggy, the lady stood on his back
and climbed thence onto the Shout
ders of another man, her brother, till
her head was on level with the
window. She kissed the inmate of
the cell and then she and he were
married by the third man in the bug
gy, a minister. The new made wife
kissed her husband again, clambered
down and all went away with eXpedi-
ton and caution. The lady was Miss
Mollie DOwnes when she came and
Mrs. James Fountleroy when she
left. The groom was in Jail charged
with an assault to kill a Mr.. DUNCAN,
a rejected lover of Miss Downes, who
had spoken slightly of her in Fount.

witness of the assault, and as his wife

Duels In New England.

Prior to the Revolution, duels were by
10 means frequent in the American col
)nies. If they had been so in any of
them, we would naturally suppose that
hey were so in Virginia and South Caro-
ina, knowing, as we do, how favorable
he social conditions peculiar to these
;wo colonies were to their existence; but
hat they were not common in either of
hem is attested by the researches of
Lodge and Ramsay respectively. Sin
gular to say, one of the first, if not the
very first, duels fought in the present linn
is of the United States occurred at Ply
mouth, Mass, in 1921, between two SER
5ants, Edward Doty and Edward Leister,
Who. having had some dispute, proceeded
% settle it with sword and dagger. Doty
md Leister were condemned by the stern
,pirit of Puritanism to be tied neck and
1eels together, and to remain in this re-
,rigeratng posture for twenty-four hours
without food or drink and from the
!ull execution of their sentence nothing
except the intercessions of their masters
and their own penitent humility relieved
hem.
In 1928, the town of Boston was star
lied by nocturnal duel upon the COM
non which is likely to remain in the
memory of men as long as that which is
forever associated with the commanding
intellect and untimely fate of Alexander
Hamilton; for Benjamin Woodbridge,
:ne young man lIV fell IN this duel, lies
buried in cemetery which is so rich in
historic dust that it must always be an
object of pilgrimage; and upon his grave
IN immortal rose has been dropped, as
,very reader of one Of the most fascinat-
ng books in American literature will
,ecollect, by the hand which was after
wards linked at the altar with that of the
autocrat of the breakfast table. Henry
Phillips, the slayer of Woodbridge, fled
% France, where he died shortly after
ward and the adherence which his
;rime excited in Boston assumed a char
lcteristic form. The Reverend Doctor
5ewell, of the old South, delivered dis
course which kept the sands for an un.
considerable duration of time in state
If monotonous transition from one end
If the hour glass to the other; and q
Iavage law was enacted, which declared,
tmong other things, that the body of 0
person killed in duel should be buried
lear the usual place of execution with 9
take driven throu gh it, and that the
anne fate should be reserved for the
)ody of the survivor after he had been
iuly convicted and punished.

Composing Under Difficulties.

In October, 1887, after his return to
Vienna, Mozart produced his greatest
opera, "Don Giovanni" As late as the
night before the performance the over
ture had not been copied. Mozart wrote
on until late into the night, and his wife
could only keep him awake by telling
him the old fairy tales, such as he loved
when child; at times he would break
from laughter to tears, until, growing
more and more weary, he fell asleep. AT
the next morning he arose and finished
the score, the ink in some paris being
scarcely dry when the copies were placed
on the musicians desks. The musicians
had to play the overture at sight,
but its beauties aroused the greatest en-.
thusiasm both in the players and in the
audience. Mozart superintendent all the
rehearsals, and inspired the singers with
his own ideas and feelings. He taught
the hero to dance minuet, and when
one of the singers failed to conquer his
score Mozart altered it on the spot. At
Inst the emperor bestowed count po-
sition on Mozart, but the salary was so
meagre 1t was less than $500-that it
was of little help to him, while his duty
to compose dance music for the court
was humiliating. Well could he reply,
when asked his income by the tax
gatherer, ''Too much for what do; too
little for what could do. "-St. Nicholas.

Crabs Scared to Death.

"Why soft she'll crabs are killed by
hunder storms" said Eugene g. Black
ord, ''has never, to my knowledge,
,een scientifically explained. My theory
s that they are scared to death. You
snow that the soft crab is the ordinary
blue hard crab that has just shed its
hell, and I imagine the crab is then in
IN extremely sensitive state. While in
hat state and out of its element, if it can
ee lightning or hear thunder, it almost
instantly dies. Whether on train, steam
,oat, or in crates in the market rs per
cent. of the crabs are killed by thun-
ler storm. But if they are put in the
ce house and can only hear the slight
'umble of the thunder, we do not lose so
many. Every dealer in soft she'll crabs,
he minute he sees the sky overcast,
bundles his crates of soft crabs into his
,hickest ice box, and until the storm
passes over speculates upon his probable
'oss by the rumbling thunder. ."--Neao

THE SWIMMER.

Lord OF two elements. with bounding heart,
And tingling blood, and mighty strength Of
limb,
Stroke after stroke he swiftly cleaves apart
The lambent emerald waters bearing him.
Or diving through the vast, dim under
world,
He seeks the fabled mermaids hidden there,
Rising to shake his locks all spray -em-
pearled,
And draw long breath of the summer dir.
Again he idly floats little space,
Letting the lucent weight of each cool
wave,
Caressing as kiss, his happy face
And all his outstretched length of body
lave
Then from height, with free, exultant
spring
He dives again, and feels himself king.
