A Wilkesbarre. Pa, paper, of 4 re
cent date gives the following remark
able narrative:
The village of Pleasant Valley IS
greatly excited over the elopeInent of
Mrs. Samuel Rowland, wife of a mine
superintendent and a well-to-do citi-
zen. Rowland and his wife, whose
maiden name was Angelina ThOmp-
son, were married in Bradford, Eng
land. in 1875. and came to this country
in the same wear. Miss Thompson had
many admirers previous to her mar
riage to Rowland, among them being
gentleman named John Hamen.
The girls parents wanted her to mar
~ Hamen, but she refused. Before
the marriage ceremony was perform
ed Miss Thompson went TO q fortune
teller for advice. The latter told her
that she loved both men, but would
marry Rowland, and that if she look
ed upon the photograph of Hamen she
would at once turn against her hus-
band and hate instead of love him,
and would have no peace until she
married Hamen. While cleaning out
an old trunk recently Mrs. Rowland
ran across Hamen's picture, where
upon she fell into a swoon. She told
a neighbor that the evil day had come
She thought the photograph had been
DESTROYED. The matter so pTeyed up
on her mind that she became dcspOnd-
ent and refused to recognize her hus-
band. She wrote for Hamen to come
to America, and last week he put in
an appearance. He was joined in
this city by Mrs. Rowland. 1t is be-
lieved they have gone to New York.
Rowland believes that his wife is in
sane.

II any one would know whether he
is likely to live long or die soon, let
him inquire whether old age runs in
his family or not, for the good tissues
of long life are apt to be hereditary
and he may commit great many ex-
cesses or other errors without killing
himself if he comes of a long-lived
stock. In like manner he may get
much help toward a knowledge of the
diseases to which he is prone and which
excuses or other errors are likely to
light up, by inquiring what diseases
his forefathcrs or kinsmen suffered or
died from Some diseases are notorious
Is reckoned to be directly hereditary in
like kind, for example, epilepsy, phthi-
sis. aud Insanity. When person has
one of them we are not all surprised to
learn that the discovery is a sufficient
explanation and to think that no more
need be said. But it is not really an
explanation; it is merely an indication
of the direction in which the exact
explanation has yet to be sought.
IL it be a sufficient explanation. how
does It happen that all the children of
the same unsoupd father or mother
do not suffer in the same way? How is
it that twins living uuder the same
conditions have not alway as now and
then they have, the same diseases at
the same agesP In calling n disease
hereditary it is not really meant that
the disease itself is actually inherited
by the offspring, who, in that case
would be born with it; what is meant is
that the latter inherits certain organ
ic constitution which, being likely to
undergo that pathological DEVELOPMENT
in 81 ordinary circumstances OF life, Is
therefore described as a constitutional
predisposition or tendency to the dis
ease. We do not in the least know
what is the intimate nature of the pre-
disposition, bu7 we know that it may be
greater or less in different persons, and
that IT is thought to be so great in the
cases of the diseases mentioned and so
likely to be transmitted to children as
to be serious objection, if net an
actual bar to marriage. Those who,
having fallen in love, are aware OF the
existence of them in their families are
therefore not little troubled sometimes
with scruples of conscience and anx
iously ask medical advice whether they
shall marry or not In the end they
commonly marry, whatever the advice
given them, having persuaded them
selves that the epilepsy was not real
epilepsy, but form of violent hysteria;
that the lung mischief was not consti-
tutional phthisis. but the accidental
consequence of a neglected cold; that
the insanity was not the outcome of
family degeneracy, but an accidental
blow on the head which was nothing
thought of at the time. Would the
earth ever have been peopled had cool
reason been potent enough TO quench
the hot passion of love?-fortntghtly

A man named John L. Jones, says
an Ishpeming, Mich, dispatch, who
was generally supposed to be tramp,
appeared there two months ago, and
after working awhile about different
mines, offered twenty five cents ton
for a pile of refuse rock at the Win
throp Hematic company mines, the
money to be paid as the rock was re-
moved. Jones said he thought he
could make little something off the
rock. The company was surprised one
day when Jones set q force of men at
work sorting the rock and carting off
the ore. Jones also bought other piles
of rock at the. same figures. 1t now
transpires that the rock pans out one
half good ore. for vhich Jones receives
SIS 80 a ton. The Winthrop pile alone
contained 100000 tons OF rock, and
Melted Jones over Sl,0GO.00O.
Other piles have net.ed him $4,000
600. The work has been conducted
under the very ewes of the mill owners,
who have regarded the rock pile as
worthless, and paid no attention to
Jones. Within few days the fact has
leaked out that the Jones ore has been
shipped largely to Joliet, Ill. The
news came back from that point and
has created a great sensation. Jones
appeared in his own carriage to-day,
and is treated as leading citizen. He
can buy no more rock piles for twenty
five cents a ton. The owners are going
about in large numbers sampling the
heaps of refuse which dot the mining
fields.

tics have just been published by the

Fast Iron-ClaffS.

According to a statement Of the rela-
tive speed of the fastest iron -clads in
the world. Italy is an easy first with
four ships faster than any of those pos
sessed by England. which comes second
on the list and is about equally ahead
Of France. But the difference in n
case exceeds fraction of a mile per
hour, and it may well be that the esti-
mates are not strictly accurate. A
good way of putting the question to a
decisive test would be get up a race
round the Isle of Wight or across the
fiat from Lucca to Marseilles between
the Italia, the Warsprite, and the De
vastation, which appear to be the
swiftest representatives of Italy, Eng
land. and France, respectiy ly. More
over, a healthy feeling of international
rivalry would be Promoted thereby,
and it would be much more exciting
than a race in fog between the May
flower and the Galatea.-St. Jane s

Throughout our country's vast domain
We're scenes Of wild alarm,
In city, town, and country, too

And Bill farmers lad, had heard

And 'mong.t that host OF volunteers

For in his honest eve was that
Which spoke the soul within,
And 10 the front hero came,
When Bill Was mustered in.
Lean, lank, and long, with heart of gold
Faithful. and brave, and true;

Dressed in his suit of blue.
His coat was ever go much too short,
His pants a mile too wide,
And when he marched could not keep step,
However much he tried.

Awkward, and tall, and slim:
For a score or more of years had fed
Since Bill was mustered in.
Knapsack and gun. canteen and straps.
An awkward, raw recruit,
And we joked the boy when he ordered arms,
The Colonel to salute.
But time passed on, the raw recruit
Wac veteran in the fight:
There was none more brave, in camp or field,
For country. God, aud right;
For valor and old chiyslry
Had counterpart in him:
And the old flag gained a grand recruit
When Bill was mustered in.
But there came a time in that deadly fray
10 July, sixty-three,
At Gettysburg when the charge was made,
And the Rebs were forced to flee;
Why, boys the very earth and air
W it'll shot and shell did burn.
In the foremost rank. on a double-quick,
There Bill WAS. brave and stern;
And Bill went down as the Johnnies broke,
And for victory gave one shout,
And brave men wept when they knew that night
That Bill WIS mustered out.
Long years have passed, and can 1t be
That history Is true2

Though sight may dim and memory fade,

Brave, honest Bill for the fame he made
So green and living yet.

Poor Bazaine.

1t is not often that the French show
bad taste in theatrical management,
but fragrant instance has just provok-
ed the anger of all the critics. A play
called "Juarez' has been produced,
which deals with the Mexican war and
the fate of the Emperor MACMILLAN.
One of the characters on the stage is
Marshal BaZaine, who is held up to
every description of cOntumely and
disgrace. The facts of history are out
ragged. The war is represented as mere
Napoleonic intrigue, in which BaZaine,
by order of the emperor, first betrays
and then hands over to his fate the IN
fortunate Macmillan. II is notorious
that Bazaine was the most able and
popular OF all the French generals.
Jules Favre. writing of him in the
Journal Ofliciel, characterized him as
the glorious general. The production
of the play at this junction is interest
ing, because the question of the licens-
ing of stage plays is very much on the
tspis. 1t is proposed to abolish the
office of licenser and to allow a Icrimi-
nal prosecution against any manager
who produces a play of which the ten
denotes are immoral or the illusions
dangerous to the public peace. II is
suggested by many of the critics that
this play, which is allowed to pass IN
der the old regime would be stopped
under the new.-PdH Mall Gazette

tHts 1.-TWO Dueis.

Dabney II. Maury, who has been re-
appointed Minister to Colombia, has
fought two duels. The first was with
Col. de River of the French army, who
was at the time visiting in this country
The French officer was in love with a
Young lady in Alabama to whom Maui
nv had been paying attention, The
lady manifested a decided preference
for the French Colonel, whereupon
Maury challenged him. The duel was
fought in the gray of an April morning
on a sandbar in Mobile Bay. Maury
was arrested and De River married
the lady, taking her with him to
France few days after the affair.
This was in 1861. His second duel was
with Virginian, but before either was
harmed a reconciliation was brought
about.
