Calro's Unhea1thfulness.

Carlo for a long time has been no.
torlous as one of the most unheathful
cities of her size in the world and is
likely to remain SO unless the French
can be induced to abandon their
present obstructive policy in Egypt.
The town is practically without drain
age and year by year the necessity Of
renedying the evil becomes more ur-
gent. Some time ago the government
took the matter in hand, employed a
number OF distinguished sanitary en-
glneers and prepared a scheme for a
system of sewerage which is generally
admitted to be the best and cheapest
that could be devised. 1t was pro-
posed to pay for the improvements
by half the octroi receipts of the city,
but France will not consent and de-
mands the appointment of an inter
national commission OF three experts
to study the question, to invite plans
and to decide which is to be adopted
unless accepted by all experts unani-
mously. The object of this PROPOSE
ton is clear and unless it is modified
the drainage plan must be abandoned
at least for the present.-Boston

WebSter'S Ready Wit.

More or less sportive artifce enters
into the parry and-thrust OF lawyers
combats in court. Fancy the drol-
lery Of man like Webster playing
upon the word "doctor." Harper's
Magazine says:
Daniel Webster, when in full prac-
tice, was employed to defend the will
OF Roger Perkins of Hopklnton. A
physician made affidavit that the tes-
tator was struck with death when he
signed his will.
Webster subjected his testimony to
a most thorough examination, show
ing, by quoting medical authorities,
that doctors disagree as to the pre-
else moment when q dying man is
struck with death, some affirming
that it is at the commencement of the
disease, others at it's climax: and 9th
ers still affirming that we begin to die
as soon as we are born.
II should like to know" said Mr..
Sullivan, the opposing counsel, "what
doctor maintains that theory
CDR. Watts" said Mr.. Webster,
with great gravity:
1.-The moment we begin to live
We all begin to die"
This reply convulsed the court and
audien &c with laughter.

A Pair of Octogenarians Are Reunited in

she was only one of the many who
waited in the Union station for a
train to bear them to their destination,
says the Worcester (Mass.,) Spy.
There was nothing about her to attract
attention, save that her kindly old face
was a trife more wrinkled than the
majority of those who passed in and
out of the waiting-room. Her hair
too, was a trife whittier, her dress was
conspicuously plain and Der bonnet
was such as her grandmother might
have worn. No one would have looked
to her for a romance; yet hers was
story full Of pathos.
More than sixty years ago this wo-
man loved George Irving, young
mechanic, and when he asked for her
hand she gave it, and promised to be
a faithful wife. They lived together
in one of the towns in the northern
part OF the state for several years.
happily contented. Then trouble came
and in a moment of anger the couple
separated. No divorce was sought; no
Judge was sought to set them free from
the marriage yoke. They simply
agreed to live apart. This was fifty
SIX years ago. and they have kept
their vow. During more than half
century they have never seen each
other, though at times they have lived
only few miles apart Each married
again. The husbands second wife
died year ago, while Mrs. Irving's
second husband, one Benson, has been
under the sod for twelve years. When
he died Louisa became public charge
and for the last dozen years she has
been in the poor house at Enfield.
Since Irving's wife died he has been
an inmate Of the Hopkinton aims
house.
A little while ago the Enfield au-
thorities learned the story of the wom-
ans life, and discovered that Irving,
her former husband was being cared
for by the town of Hopkinton. After
some correspondence it was decided
that Mrs. Irving Benson, was still Irv-
lng's wife, as she had never been di-
Vorced and that she legally had
right to be supported by the town OF
Hopkinton. Accordingly, James Ri
ley one of the overseers of the poor of
HopkintOn. went to Enfield and took
Mrs. Irving Benson with him. She is
SS years old. and until she boarded
at Belchertown, had never ridden on a
railroad car. Her husband is 50 years
old. More than fifty years ago they
made their vows never to live together
again. Fate seems to have overruled
the decision, and lover the hills. - at
the poOrhouse, these two must live to-
gether till death parts them.
