Mrs. Josephine Ammon, the Ohio lady
who went to Jail rather than divulge
secret, has received an offer
of marriage from New York
man who was "filled with admira-
ton for her pluck" What he really ad-
mired about her was probably her ability
to keep a secret. A woman who can keep
a secret is not apt to be much of a gossip.
She would seem to be very desirable kind
of wife. and vet Mrs. Ammon'sex husband

black snake is not venomous, but it is
not pleasant to find one in ones bed clothes.
That is what Mrs Morgan, Of Syracuse,
did. She is an invalid, and was very much
frightened the other day upon seeing large
reptile of this kind on tho bed. Powerless
to defend herself, she called her husband,
but the snake disappeared before he reached
the room. A few hours later as she was
arranging the bed clothes, she again saw
the snake, its head erect and its eyes glisten-
ing. This time it was dispatched, but the
experience was not one calculated to quiet
the nerves Of an invalid.

Miss Carrie Brockway, who was reported
to have killed herself at North Adams,
Mass, at the sight of her dead lover denies
III positive terms that she is dead, and as
proof that she is not, she took 20mi!e ride
Monday while the thermometer was play
ing around zero. She also asserts that her
lover is as well as he ever was, and that the
only foundation for the blood-and-thunder
story that was circulated in Mondays pa
pers was that young Sweet had been given
a thrashing by her brothers. When she
heard of his treatment she seized a razor
and said she felt like killing herself. but as
she has seen only fifteen years of life she
concluded to postpone that tragic event. 1t
looks very much like Miss Brockway has
really risen from her lovers breast, on
which she was said to have fallen when the
alleged suicide was committed.

Sypher's Revenge.

Mr.. Sypher, the lawyer who managed
Mr.. Thoebe's case before the Committee on
Elections, having failed to show that his
client had any ground whatever for carry
ing on a contest for Mr. Carlisles seat, now
proposes to have little revenge by trying TO
blacken the character of Mr.. Carlisle Mr.
Carlisle's attorney read several of Sypher's
letters before the Committee on Elections,
in which the latter appeared in
a very unfavorable light. In one
of them Sypher said that he
thought he could enlist his Republican
friends and certain prominent protectionists
in the case so that influence and money
could be obtained to defeat Mr.. Carlisle
Mr. Sypher has written letter to Mr..
Carlisle in which he threatens to publish
certain atfidavits affecting Mr. Carlisle's
reputation because Mr.. Carlisles attorney
put the Sypher letters in evidence.
1t is pretty safe to assume that no aft
davits that Sypher has or can get will do
Mr. Carlisle any harm. The threat shows
what sort of man Sypher is. If he could
help his client by attacking Mr.. Carlisle's
reputation he would not appear so despica-
BILE, but to attempt to injure Mr.. Carlisle for
the sake Of revenge ought to have the effect
of making decent men shun him.
Syphers letters show that he did not
intend to conduct Thoebe's case on its
merits He couldn't do that because it had
no merits. He meant to make political
fight against Mr.. Carlisle. He believed the
protectionists would like to have Mr.. Car
Isle defeated because he is the leader of the
tariff reformerS, aud he thought that both
they and the Republican leaders would
furnish money to defeat him. All good
men will rejoice that Syphers scheme
failed. He will have to concoct other
schemes for filling his purse.
