a QnecnAland Cattle Raiser Wins q Bride
In Very short Order.

"A 4aecnaiand Cattic-hais~r WINS brtGo
In Very short Order.
Marriageable young women are in great
demand in this part of the Queens do
| minions, writes correspondent from Rock
hampton, Queensland, Australia The
sexes in this colony are in the proportion Of
/ one hundred aud twenty five males to
eighty-eight females. The towns, however,
retain more than their share of the fair sex,
and IN the sugar planting districts there Is
deplorable dearth OF women Nearly all
the landowners and large planters arc
married, but most of the whites in their
employ are bachelors, aud, what Is worse,
many OF the poor fellows haven't q chance
to change their condition if they wish TO.
The result is that whenever a nice white
girl goes into the interior.on the plantations
she has to get married IN self protection or
else she is so pestered with attentions AS
almost to drive her out OF the country.
A remarkable case OF sudden and almost
unprecedented matrImony occurred on a
plantation near Winton few weeks ago.
A planter had been TO Northampton, and
had here engaged strarping good-looking
girl to assist his wife in her household
duties. After she had been in her new home
several days she took her wash tub out Of
doors one morning TO do the fnmily wash
ing. While hard at work, with soap-suds up
to her elbows. along came squattar who
kept small herd OF cattle In tho neigh
borhood. He didn't intend to lose this
chance 10 make the acquaintance OF a
woman. So he sided up 10 the wash-tub
and began to talk, and It wasn't long before
|. she was giving hun more than half her at
teption.
After awhile the Young man owned up
that IL was a case of love at first sight as far
as he was concerned aud he popped the
question without any ado. The girl said
she was willing if her mistress would in
dorse him as wortay young man That
lady thought 1t would be good match, and
said 80, and q quarter Of an hour later the
brand new lovers. in their work-day
clothes, were footing IL three miles away

a HORRIBLE CASE

PROVIDENCE, r. L, Feb. 11.-Julia Ma
har, Sc years old, died this morning in a
miserable howell in Webster street of par
alysis. The case is particularly horrible,
as her husband had given the woman no
care after she became incapable of doing
any more work. The neighbors say she
was left alone and rats ran into the howell
and gnawed away at the woman's extrem-
tiles, while she lay yet alive but unable to
drive them away. The flesh was badly
eaten from her thighs and even the face
had been attacked. The police learned of
the matter and induced the neighbors to
watch with the woman while life re-
manned Death came to her relief this
morning.
