MARIE TIssERAND's STRANGE GoINGs-oN
TRYING 70 HANG HERSELF.
A Paris dispatch to the London Tele-
graph says: "The Grand Duchess of Ger
oletein is by no means the only woman who
has confessed frankly her weakness for the
military, but Marie Tisserand carried her
admiration further. Acting on the princi-
pie that imitation is the sincerest form of
fattery, she was in the habit of looming
the uniforms Of the soldiers who paid their
addresses to her, and she loved to sally
forth Respondent in blue tunic and red
trousers, with medals and crosses on her
breast. Her mania had on several occas-
ions got her into trouble. Thrice had skc
been tried and condemned to variors pains
and penalties for attirirtg herself in the war
paint of her successive lovers. Her last
escapade of this kind was to lounge along
the streets habited in the dark costume of
a-polceman! 1t is to be presumed that
the men who had temporarily taken her
under their protection found her rather a
compromising acquaintance. for Marie Tiss-
Grand was finally compelled to console her.
self with an omnibus conductor, whose kept
may at least have served to remind her of
happier days.
This time she did not attempt to array
herself IN the babilIments Of her new
friend, for which, with the exception of the
KEPT, she entertained probably profound
contempt. UnluckilY, she did worse. AT
ter few days Irritation with the conduct
or she disappeared, carrying away the
mans savings, which amounted to S00f.
The theft was reported to the police, and
some time afterwards Marie Tisserand was
arrested on the Boulevard Voltaire, down
which she was strolling with the Tonkin
and Madagascar medals affixed to her
breast, the cynosure of all eyes. On being
escorted to the nearest police station she
admitted frankly that she had stolen the
money, and had spent every sou of it in the
purchase of trinkets, which she had since
pawned. Marie TisseTand was accordingly
locked up pending her removal to the de-
pot. She had not been long in custody,
however, when the police, hearing a noise,
entered the room of which she had been the
solitary tenant, and found that che had tried
to hang herself by attaching her garter to a
peg driven in the wall. To cut her down
was the work of moment, and in a short
time the young woman was on her way to
Jail in the prison van.

$167 419, 731.-This is the sum which
Representative Henderson, of the Pension
Committee, boasufully reports as 'the
amount Of the appropriations m ade by the
present House for the benefit of the SOL
dier.'
Oae Hundred and Sixty.seven Millions,
Four Hundred and Nineteen Thousand
Dollars!
This is $6S, OOe, 900 in excess of the esti-
mate of the Secretary of the Treasury. 1t
is nearly three times the total cost of the
Federal Government in the year before the
war. It exceeds by more than 500. 900, 900
the cost Of pensions in 1886, twenty years
after thu close of the war. 1t surpasses by
1874, DOC, 900 the highest annual interest
charge on the National debt. 1t is equal
to tbs combined annual cost of the standing
armies Of Great Britain and Germany. 1t
is nearly 60 per cent of the National ex.

going On for generation.

The youth sings love through his salad
's."-Old Song.
The thatch upon my mental roof
Is growing rather thin.
And Pm inclined to stand aloof
From prattle's merry din.
Pm fonder of my friend and pipe;
think Pm more serene;
Men soon, fear, will call me ripe,
Although my name is Green
Miss Mabel and Miss Margery now
Declare that am bore;
No sweet smile greets me when bow,
It was not thus of yore.
And SO view with rapt regret,
More fair through memory's haze,
That pristine period when yet
Was in my salad days.H
My much,beribboned loves see:
Where are they now. alas !?
All! the dears not welded be,
They sleep beneath the grass,
With maidens fair no more wind
Down shady woodland ways
left roman tic strolls behind
In glad old "salad days"
We had no gay lawn.tennis then;
Yet we could play "love alp
AS well as any modern men
Who deity "serve" the ball,
We drove, we boated and we danced
We trod the garden maze;
And, oil. the bright eyes. how they glance
In happy "salad days"
Gone all the bouyancy and zest;
I'm Laid upon the shelf"
My thoughts of consolation rest
In goodly store of pelf
And yet I'd gladly barter gold
And pride of place, and praise,
For those blithe-hearted times OF old
In frolic salad days."

ABOUT THIS TIME.

The summer is here, in her beauty arrayed,
And sweet is the breath of the clover,
But 1t brings little joy to the beautiful maid,
For her nose is freckled all over.
Fruit trees are blooming.
Sweet flowers pertaining
Suburban lanes, and in cloudless skies
OLD Sol is glowing,
The fat mans blowing,
And the bald mans peace is disturbed by the
flies.
Summer com es with floral treasure
Perfumed air and sunny skies,
But the MAIDEN finds no pleasure
When at eve the June bug flies.
Youth and maid on the veranda
Barter kisses, smiles and signs.
Hark scream from sweet Miranda
When too near the June bug flies,
Hither, thither goes the beetle.
Harmlessly about he HES,
Yet loves course is made much smoother
When at last the June bug flies.

The Potts Case.

Tho tinin fixed for tho execution OF
Josiah and Elizabeth Potts, June 30.
1890, is rapidly approaching. Pcti-
tions, n~umcrously signed by our best
citizens, praying for a communication
OF their sentence 10 imprisonment for
life, have been forwarded TO the Board
or Pardons, but owing TO the absence
OF some Of the members OF the Beard
no action has been taken. 1t is high
time that some mca3urc5 be taken Ia
get the Board together, for it would
DO an outrage for these persons TO
suffer tho extreme penalty Of tho law
without n hearing. Tho timc for
their execution is fixed, and there is
no power within tho State to delay
the execution Of the sentence, except
that vested in the Board OF Pardons
whose bounden duty it is to take nc.
ton on petitions OF tho people, such
as have been presented in tho case
under consideration. Shnll these
persons be hanged by reason of the
negligence OF the Board OF Pnrdons 10
take action in the premises? We
call upon tho Governor to exercise
his executive authority to compel tho
| attendance Of absent members Of tho
Board of Pardons in ordcr that tho
petitions for tho communication of tho
sentence of Josiah and Elizabeth
Potts 10 considered, and not pcrmi,
them TO suffer the extreme penalty
OF tho law without a hearing. There
is no timo To DO lost; il anything is
done In their behalf it should DO dono
Immediately. TLoy were tried nc
curding To law and found guilty of
murder III the first degree; their case
was appealed 10 tho Supreme Court
of the State, which tribunal affirmed
tho judgment OF tho lower Court: but
notwithstanding this, il ia but justicc

SAD SITUATIONS.

Tho Inst Lessons of n Loving Mothers
Iife-PrcpnrlnE for Insanity.
l remember being taken by my
mother when I was q child to see q
poor woman who was dying Of n cancer.
Tho disease was eating its way to a
vital part and her doctor had given
her n month as her utmost limit OF
life. She was preparing for her end
in n way that seemed practical and
prosaio enough, but that struck mo as
pathetic in its undergraduates She
was sitting up in bed, with q basket
beside her, finishing up tho family
mending. showing her eldest daughter
on whose thirteol-year-old shoulders
the burden Of household care was
soon to fnli-how to foil down seams
in the littlo brothers knee patches
and how to darn the heel of fathers
sock, so that he would never feel the
difference. She had impressed upon
tho girl how to mako her fathers
~favorite potato poue, how to manage
her young sister when she got into tho
sulks, what to do for her father whom
no had his periodical fit OF cramps
and every thing else she could think
of that would insure comfort in tho
humble homo she was leaving. She
had all the work planned which sho
would do during the short span of lifo
that vas given to her. Her burial
clothes were folded AWAY In n drawer
with sweet basil leaves among them.
/ ~ reminded of the incident by
reading in n paper recently of q man
in Milwaukee who is preparing for
something that Is I'VE moro terrible
than death-insanity. He will be vio-
lently insane in n few weeks. and no
knows il. Some timo ago his skull
vas fracturcdi n gristle Ia fast forming
about the cracked edges. which will
surely press upon tho brain and mako
