ishment of "a Lawyer.
A few days ago the face of a lady which
still retained traces OF great former beau
ty, was pointed out upon the avenue,
and the following story was told Of its
possessor: During the war her betrothed
lover, while serving as an officer under
the banner OF the confederacy, learned
incidentally Of her serious illness in
Troy, N. Y. Nothing daunted by the
dangers which encompassed such an un-
dertaking, he obtained a leave of alb
sence, passed through the lines and, after
almost incredible escapes and hardships.
succeeded in reaching her side in her
Northern home.
Upon her recovery he attempted to
retrace his steps, but was seen and recog-
nized in New York city and arrested as a
spy. After due trial before a competent
tribunal he was found guilty and con
demned to be shot. The lady in question
was niece OF Cardinal (then Arch
bishop Manning, and the whole force
OF the Catholic clergy was brought to
bear upon Mr.. Lincoln in order to secure
a commutation Of the sentence. This
was done in effect, for the unfortunate
man was permitted to marry the woman
OF his choice, and then both were ban
ished to Paris, where they lived under
the surveillance of the American Minister
until tye close OF the war. Such, indeed,
was the condition upon whicn his life
was spared by the President. The brave
Confederate's wife is now a widow. and
her eldest son, through the kindness OF
Mr.. Cleveland, to whom he is said to
have told his mothers story in an acci-
dental meeting which happened in the
grounds In the rear of the White House,

LONDON, June 17.-Lord Robert Gros
venor, son Of the Duke OF Westminster
has died at Constantinople OF typhoid
fever.
Carnegie was interviewed at York to-
day. He said Blaine could be President
any day he liked. Carnegie repudiated
Chamberlain's assertion that Americans
did not aver Gladstone's Irish policy
and expressed surprise that Sir William
Vernon Harcourt or Worely had not
challenged Chamberlain in the House
OF Commons to name two prominent
Americans who did not favor that
policy. americans" said Carnegie,
"were disposed to deal with Lord Sails
bury, who had been the bitter enemy OF
the Republic when it was combating
slavery" He declared that the fishery
treaty would never be ratified.

HON Ia wAs DONE.

When the west bound train on the
Northern Pacific was in the vicinity OF
Junction City station, near Billings, the
engineer noticed a light ahead. and
knowing there had been heavy storm
the day before, and fearing that
the bridge was gone, slowed up.
Scarcely had he stopped before a man
appeared at the steps OF the engine and
in an instant three shots were fired, one
cutting its way through the cab. With
a gun leveled at his head, Engineer Sar-
gent was commanded to throw up his
hands, which he did instantly. The fire.
man was treated likewise. Sargent was
ordered out of his cab and under an
armed escort the two men were taken
to the express car, the door of which was
broken in. The messenger was then
ordered to throw up his hands. He at
first refused to do so, but the click OF a
gun instantly made him yield. The
thieves secured $500. In the meantime
the conductor and other employees had
been under guard and when through
with the express matter the conductor,
with a gun at his head, was9compelled to
escort them through the train, and two
men compelled every male passenger to
throw up his hands. One Of the robbers
intimidated the passengers while the
other riiled their pockets. No jewelry or
papers were taken, only cash being se-
cured. The entire train was gone
through systematically. No effort
was made to moest the ladies'. While
the robbers were in the express car, the
passengers concealed valuables and big
money under the seats and other places,
so the haul only amounted to $1,000. One
passenger had about $15, 900, which he
concealed in lunch basket. The gang
consisted Of eight men, wearing black
masks, and they had the appearance OF
cowboys.

CHICAGO, June IA special from
Parkersburg. W. Va, says "Two fami-
lies named Brewer and Bush, who live
upon adjoining promises, at place called
Happy Hollow, off the railroad a few
miles north of here, on the Ohio side,
have been engaged in a contention con-
cerning a line fence, water rights and
other common property. William Brewer
had been drinking yesterday and in the
evening when passing his neighbor' 8
house, saw Mrs. Bush and her two sons,
Thomas and Charles, talking at the gate.
He drew q knife and stabbed Charles
Bush in the back. Mrs. Bush
and the other son then in
terfered and Brewer grasping the old
lady by the arm, struck her several
times in the throat and cut her terribly.
She soon bled TO death. By this time,
Bush, with man named Cleaver, APP
peared and attacked Brewer with clubs
and stones, beating him until he was
fatally injured. Brewer is a giant in
strength and made desperate fight, cut
ting and slashing his assailants, but in
flicting no serious wounds. One of his
hands was almost cut off. Two long cash
es are on his head and his face and neck
are horribly mutilated. Chas. Bush,
whom Brewer attacked, has since died.

He does mot allow many hours to pass

merely that of a soldier addressing
soldiers, and expresses the hope that
Emperor Williams proclamation to the
Prussian people will be decidedly pacific.

Gala Lilies.

New York florists who grow calla ILL
les for market keep the plants in pots
all the year round. In a word they
keep the callas in active growth until
May or June, then they dry them off
and put them away to rest until about
August, when the plants are repotted
into the same sized pots (six or eight
inch) in which they were previously
grown. After repotting they are wa
tered and exposed to air and sun, when
active growth soon begins again. The
plants under this treatment, begin to
bloom in October and continue to flow
er during the winter and on until after
Easter.
Some growers vary the above plan by
planting their callas in the open ground
during the summer and lifting and pot
ting them in the autumn. This latter
practice is productive of luxuriant foli-
age and very large lilies. The first
plan mentioned-resting the plants in
summer-will, however, give the great
est number of blossoms.

Don't Nag Each Other.

Young wives and husbands cannot
be too strongly reminded of the prob
able shipwreck theywill make Of their
happiness if they yield to that ill-tem-
per which expresses itself in discour-
tesy, want of compliance, unnecessary
opposition, and, above all, that most
disastrous amusement of "nagging'
and creating q row. Hundreds of
households have gone wrong from the
mere wantof checking in time the habit
of annoying as relief toa momentary
feeling of irritation or discomfort.
The wife who gets into the way of
contradicting, or "checking" her hus-
band, of opposing him in small things
and standing out in large ones-the
husband who is sneering, temptuous,
tyrannical, fault-fnding; perhaps
neither side knowing the whole extent
Of its folly, but just giving way to it
as more easy than to fight and conquer
it-thcse young people are doing their
best to dig the grave Of their married
peace and some day poor, fainting
little love will fall into it stark and
plumeless, and will never rise to life
again.
In the beginning these little tiffs
and discomforts are made up with 4
kiss from him and few tears from her
to add cement to the reconciliation.
By time the tiffs are more acrid, and
the reconciliation is less warm. By
still further time this never comes at
all; and things get into that chronic
state when there is never an open
breach and never formal healing, but
an overwhelming rift and reverend
ing coldness. Then the two lives jar
and grind like rusty hinges-locks
which misfit the slot, wheels where
the axle, is stiff, or anything else
which would never work together in
harmony and smoothness, but which,
for want of care to keep the adjust
ment exact, perhaps for want of oil to
the joints, creak all hang and chafc
and do not fit ~to the annoyance, and
more, of all the observation-disclosures

Signing The Farm Away.

Fine old farm for hundred years
Kept in the family name;
Corn fields rich in golden ears
OF MS the harvest came:
Crowed barn and crowed bin
And still the loads kept coming in
Rolling in for q hundred years;
And the fourth in the family line appears
Orchards covered the slopes of the hill;
Cider-forty barrels, they say,
Sure in season to come from the mill,
To be tasted round Thanksgiving day
And they drank as they worked and ate
Winter and Summer, early and late,
Counting it as great miShap
To be found without "barrel on tap.
But while the season crept along,
And passions into habits grew,
Their appetites became as strong
AS ever drunkard knew;
And they labored less and they squander
ed more,
Chiefly for rum at the village store,
TIL called by the sheriff, one bitter day,
To sign the homestead farm away.
The father shattered and scented with
The mother sick and pale and thin,
Under the weight of her sorrows dumb,
In debt for the bed she was lying in;
Oh! saw the wrecked household aronnd
her stand, :,
And the justice lifted her trembling hand
Helping her as In her bed she lay,
To sign the homestead farm away.
All, how she wept, and the flood of tears
Swept down her temples bare!
And the father, already bowed with years
Bowed lower with despair.
Drink Drink It had ripened into woe
For tn em and all they loved below,
And forced them, poor and old and gray,
To sign the homestead farm away.
Oh, many scenes have met in my life,
And many q call to pray;
But the saddest Of all was the drunkard,s s
wife
Signing the farm away!
Home, once richest in all the town,
Home in that fatal cup poured,
Worse than fire or floods dismay!
Drunkards signing the farm away!
