The rernicious activity of widows,
which excited such dire forebodings in
the bosom Of the elder Weller, seems at
present to have taken on fresh and
alarming aspect A g-ass-widow from
New Jersey has actually and in broad day
light elOped with one-legged patient in
the New York hospital, while a mature
widow who is related by her earlier mar
riage to some of the most distinguished
families in the country has, with her FIVE
children, married a young man named
Keene, who is in law an infant, and is
said by this time TO quite agree with his
friends that he ought to be spanked.
When t comes to having a widow come
and get one-legged man out of hospit-
al, where he is receiving every attention,
and elope so thoroughly with him that his
family and friends can't even get on to
the track of his game leg, matters APP. ear
to be getting serious. In h spital, If
anywhere, it might be supposed a man
was safe from such intrusion.

Reports apparently authentic continue
TO represent that Prince Bismarck is SUI
fering severely, both in mind and in body.
The young and headstrong emperor has
emancipated himself from the chancellor s
control, for the hasty Quincy to Russia
was undertaken against Prince Bismarck s
wishes, and he strongly disapproves of
the impending visit to Rome. What
however, has most deeply moved and en-
ragged Prince Bismarck is the retirement
of Count Moltke, which in reality took
place in consequence of q hint that such a
step would be highly acceptable to the
emperor, who desired to promote his
friend Count Waldersee, who is an OBJECT
of Prince Biamarck's deep aversion, as
the count is not only a consummate sol
dier, but also shrewd and active politi-
clan, and both he and his clever wife eX-
ercise great in uence over the emperor
and empress; and the count, who is the
most prominent member Of the ''war'
party, is known to differ with the chan
cellor on many oints.

The bathing Buffalo.

Beef cattle are not indigenous 10 any
portion Of jungle covered Malaysia, the
buffalo finding subsistence there. But the
buffalo is not used for dairy purposes and
it is seldom eaten except by the poorest
classes, chiefly Chinese. The meat is
tough and has an unpleasant flavor. But
al heavy draught. blowing, log hauling
and such uses the buffalo j. at home He
Is larger and stronger than the American
OK He must have mud holes and creeks
in which he can wallOw and battle. The
natives make great use Of him for cult
waiting rice But he must be Hnh'tched
when ne gets FESTIVE, for that is "a sign he
wants 10 battle. And if the desire isn't
gratifed the buffalo straightway becomes
dangerous.
These buffalOs, the consul says, are
often, in size and weight, about half way
between a very large OK ana an average
elephant. They have ponderous and pc
culiar horns, somewhat like those of the
American buffalo, only much longer.
They are mouse colored generally, have a
very thin coating OF hair, and sometimes
none at all except at the end Of the tail,
on the ears and on the head.
This buffalo thriyes best when lie has
access 10 pond or sluggish creek. He
will take to this water, bury himself in il
up to the neck. and remain there happy
and content for five or six hours a day

"ch.rIes Eeberf Craddock."

Most persons who have seen Miss Muir
free have formed three distinct concep-
tons Of the author Of the mountaineer
tales Reading Craddock's stories before
the secret of the pseudonym has been
revealed the writer OF them might have
been easily imagined rs n thoughtfui,
poetic natured man. A sOutherner with
tremendous possibilities and tremendous
earnestness. A man who bad lived face
to face with nature and the eternal
verities, to whom the brawls and strug-
giles Of urban existence were OF less mean
ing and import than the loud chatter OF
mountain brooks. A tall lean, brown
TenEcsseean probably, with that iLdolent
SlOuchiness Of gait and carriage, under
which many southerner cOnceals muscles
Of iron. That was the ideal Charles
Egbert Craddock, who was so real 10 one 5
fancy that when Miss Murfree revealed
herself one couldn't quite concede that he
had no existence.
Then with the advertisements Of her
books appeared little wood cut OF her, a
vivid faced woman, with eyes and hair OF
intensest black, clear cut, vigorous feat
ures, and a certain masculine force III her
ASPECT that accorded well with her bold,
clear signature, and then at last one came
to sec her in the flesh, and behold. she
was rs unlike either Of these traddocks
as they were unlike each other A very
snail woman; 50 lame she can scarcely
cross the floor unaided. Slight and yet
square i'm figure \ small white face, with
the withered whiteness Of one whose health
mad always been delicate. Pale, neutral
brown hair and eyes, and formal prini-
ness of manner like that of shy, clever
woman who has lived much in retirement.
The only hint one gets Of ebe great author
Is In the impression she gives of seeing
and noting of everything; of weighing and
estimating every one about her, and nav

ton Of attention; but her reserve is inf

A Useful Court.

For years there existed in Denmark
what are called Fonligelsis Kommission,
or "Courts of Cancellation, which have
worked to charm and are well worthy
of imitation everywhere, and especially
in this country, where all our courts are
crowded to repletion with business.
These are not courts of arbitration, but
are conducted on this plan: There is one
Judge and two assistants, none of whom
are professionals, but are taken from
among citizens the same as we take
jurors, by the consent of all parties.
Every case to he acted on must be
brought into these courts of Cancellation
before it can be taken into q regular
court of law. The plaintiff comes with
out council, none being allowed on
either side, and states his case plainly,
and the defendant is summoned to sp-
pear on q certain day either in person or
by proxy, otherwise he is fined if the
case has to be taken to q law court.
Then each party is heard and questioned
by the Judge, who tells them of the
legal rights and duties of each and gives
advice or suggestions. The parties are
not obliged to take this, but if they do,
and agree to settle, the Judgment il
without appeal, and final
