sensational manner. She was out riding

heart. Several gentlemen rushed to the
carriage just in time to catch her body
as it was falling into the street. 1t is
believed that the young lady was de-
mented as the result of long series of
prosecutions at the hands of an anony-
nous letter WI ter. About three years

the afternoon to get plenty Of wood for
next day when the wife OF one OF the
men supplied us with food for talk and
a few minutes excitement
She had had several little family at
fairs with her husband during the
voyage and had invariably come off
second best in them, for he stood no
nonsense in these matters, and had one
final and effective argument for all too
prolonged conjugal discussions-a good,
thick stick, which he generally took
care to provide himself with during
wood-cutting operations.
However, to-day she was rather en-
boldened by the fact that her husband
had neglected to bring the usual sapling
from the last camping place, or else she
had made up her mind to strike one
last desperate blow for woman's rights
on board the Florida. The amicable
wrangle between husband and wife had
continued for some time in the stern Of
the ship, and insult after insult, such
bitter phrases as ''that she didn't know
how to boil a plantain even," or ''to
make pepper SOUP" having been heaped
upon the devoted head of the wife, she
abandoned the wordy war, and divest-
ing herself of her heavy brass anklets,
her copper bangles and steel bracelets,
evidences of now brutal husbands
once fond regard, she looked round the
ship, and with blood-curdling yell de-
liberately climbed the ratings and
threw herself into the river.
The engineer rushed to stop the en-
gines. One or two of the black men
jumped overheard and swan back to-
wards the head we could perceive bob
bling up and down far behind US. Others
quickly manned the canoe alongside
and padded off to the rescue. The in
jured wife, who was as vigorous swim
mer as a debater, struck off full speed,
hand over hand down stream. For
few moments there was quite an excit-
ing little chase, until she was over
taken, dragged up into the canoe
and its prov turned upstream again.
She stepped proudly and with an air of
conscious triumph on her features upon
deck once more. But, alas! for the van
ity of human wishes, her reception was
far other than she anticipated. Not
even the white men looked pitifully on
her. The engineer shook his fist and
her husband-but there, let us draw
vail over what followed.
Later in the day, when harmony was
restored between husband and wife, /
ventured to demonstrate with him on
striking a woman-saying that
white man who did so was looked on as
coward. He smiled and replied:
