Regarding the dehorning of cattle,

a BROKEN HEART.
The Real Reason Why james Buchanan
Remained . Bachelor.
Washington Cor. N. Y. World

Remained bAcnelOTs
Washington Cor. n. Y. World
President Buchanan's love story Is his-
toric, ami reads more like the conventional
novel Of fifty years ago than plain fact.
But it happened just as tragedies happen
every day that are many times stranger
than fiction. When he was poor young
lawyer he became engaged to Miss Cole-
man, who belonged to one of the richest,
staidest and, Il may be assumed, narrow
est-minded and most purblind families in
Philadelphia. The Colemans by no means
approved Of the match, but nevertheless
the young couple became engaged. Mr..
Buchanan was then practising law in .
remote part Of Pennsylvania. and in those
days of stage coaches and saddle-bags corr
respondence was liable to Interruptions.
Miss COleman's letters became irregular
and then stopped altogether. He wrote
repeatedly, but got no reply. At last he
determined to 60 to Philadelphia, but at
Lancaster the stage met with an acci-
dent and Mr.. Buchanan suffered broken
leg. He wrote again as soon as be was
able, and still heard nothing. Laid up in
a country tavern, in the midst of a
phenomenal snow-storm, for six weeks,
embittered him, and he wrote Miss Cole
man a lettor of fierce reproaches, and then
wrote no more. Now for Miss Coleman's
part. Her eminently respectable family
from the beginning intercepted all Of her
letters and all of Mr.. BuchAnan's. She
made all the appeals to him a woman
could make, but she never had line from
him after he left Philadelphia, except that
last cutting letter-and as, unfortunately, ii
contained nothing but his renunciation of
her, she could know nothing of what had
preceded it. The emnently respectable
family were satisied-the match was
broken off by means that would have
landed them all in the penitentiary in these
days. A year or two afterward Mr..
Buchanan was in Philadelphia, and at q
ball came face to face with Miss Coleman.
Neither spoke, and Mr.. Buchanan pail
marked attention to another girl
present. That night young friend
who was staying with Miss Coleman
said to her, while the two girls were
alone in their room: "Did you see Mr..
Buchanan's attentions to Miss -? Now,
they might have been yours had you
recognized him." Miss Coleman began to
sob violently. She would not be soothed
and her friend, becoming alarmed, called
the family. OF what next happened two
accounts have been given: One was that
she had taken poison, and her sufferings
afterward came from that-but those who
wers near her said that she was simply
suffering from uncomfortable mental
anguish. Toward morning, when her
pulse bad got so lowahat it was scarcely
perceptible, and her nervous excitement
had changed into a profound stupor, the
doctors were sent for. Bat she was past
help. They never reused her, and she
died the next day Of what the doctors
called nervous exhaustion, but which goes
by the name of broken heart. Then the
truth came to Mr.. Buchanan's ears, and
from that day his bachelorhood was as.

A COMlCAL ACCIDENT.
The Ludicrous Predicament I'm Which .
Couple of Elopers Found Themselves.
Richmond (va.) Special

Richmond (va.) Special
Intelligence was received here that
young lady and gentleman, living near
the Red Sulpur Springs and whose names
are omitted on account of their families,
eloped from the house OF the lady's par
ents for the purpase of getting married.
The flying pair were in buggy, and
made good time until Indian creek was
reached. The creek was very high, but
an attempt was made to ford it, when
midway in the stream the vehicle was
washed over and the occupants thrown
into the water. They lodged against a
broken tree in the middle Of the creek.
The young man caught the lady as the
rushing waters were carrying her down
and held her. Fortunately, just at the
root of the tree there was sufficient
foothold for the young man to
stand, so that the water only came up to
his arm pits, but on either side of him 1t
was too deep and the current too strong
for him to venture to reach the shore. he
held the young lady in his arms for two
hours before they were discovered. The
position was made more unpleasantby the
sun pouring its rays upon them. Fortu-
nately when the buggy was overturned an
umbrella was thrown in reach of the young
man, and he managed to open and hold it
over the young lady. Novel as was tho
catastrophe, the rescue was more novel. A
young man, although the risk was great,
swan a strong horse to the place, and the
imperiled lady and gentleman hung on to
the animals tail and were brought back
safely. The father caught up with the
pair at the creek and the wedding did not
take place.

JET Riggle, a special officer stationed al

the other morning. He took charge Of one
room and kept everybody about the depot
terrorized. When a Missouri Pacific pas
sengsr train pulled in Riggle emerged
from the waiting-room, where he had i'm :
prisoned himself, and entered one of the
coaches. The passengers fed panic
stricken from the cars. Riggle was armed
with six-shooter. After q terrible
struggle, four men finally overpowered
him. The passengers were persuaded to
resume their places and after considerable
delay the train moved on.

lat Really Consumption?

Many a case supposed to be radical lung
disease is really one of liver complaint and
Indigestion, but, unless that diseased
liver can be restored to healthy action, it
will so clog the lungs with corrupting mat
ter as to bring on their speedy decay, and
then indeed we have consumption, which
is scrofula of the lungs, in its worst form.

down intemperance in our city. They de-
cided to draw up "a petition, and accordingly
it was prepared and read from the pulpits of
the various churches at the Sunday morning
service on the 18th inst. 1t was signed by all
the clergy and presented to the congrega-
lions fer signature. The petition speaks in
plain and vigorous language of the unlimited
sale of intoXicants, and is addressed to the
city government of Bangor asking for the
enforcement of the prohibitory law in our
city Rev. Dr. Field, after reading the petit
ton to his congregation, said that while he
endorsed the action most earnestly, he must
confess that he has but little confidence in
its success. No one, especially citizen of
Bangor, would ever think there was Maine

as water, without the slightest necessity for
concealment.

the PROHIBITION TICKET

If the nomination of Mr.. George c. Little
field by the convention in Y. M. c. A. Hall
last night is put upon the ground that the
gentlemen concerned in it want to establish
a third party then it is proper enough. This
is free country and anybody who wishes to
start new political party or new reIglouS
sect has perfect right to do SO. Butlf 1t is
put upon the ground that the good OF the
temperance cause requires it then it is based
on a false pretence No exigency has arisen
requiring any such action. Neither OF
the leading parties has made its nomination.
Nobody can say but the Republicans will
nominate just as sincere temperance man
as Mr.. Littlefield and one just as likely as he
to strictly and impartially enforce the pro-
hibitory law. Suppose it does (and we sin
cerely believe that it will what will be the
effect of Mr. Littlefeld's candidacy? If it
has any effect at all it win be to divide the
votes of temperance men betweenl two
candidates, and prevent the election
of either. That certainly will not helm the
temperance cause. On the contrary it will
harm it, Had the Republicans made their
nomination and selected man who there
was reason to believe would not enforce the
law then the action last night would be justi-
fable on the ground that the welfare of the
temperance cause demanded it. But that ex-
gency had not arisen, and therefore the
nomination of Mr.. Littlefeld is not defensi-
BILE on that ground. We are. very glad, how
ever. that it was made, because it serves to
strip off the mask which certain gentlemen
have been wearing and shows that their real
purpose is not to promote temperance but to
smash the Republican party.
Now let the Republicans nominate can
didate that sincere friends of temperance
cannot reasonably object to and then let us
see how much smashing these gentlemen
can do.
