Two Remarkable MARRIAGES.

Among the romances Of the last CEN
fury is handed down one of a certain
nobleman VINO was making ready for his
wedding ceremony with the lady of his
choice when he learned from a frighten-
ed messenger that the lady had eloped
with another lover. Not at all discon-
certed, be coolly continued his toilet,
and when it was completed he asked his
ho~usekeeper which one of his servants
was without that excellent thing ia life
a lover. Learning that the kitchen
maid vas the only one, he sent for her,
babe her don her Sunday frock, per-
suaded her to accompany him to the
the church at the time appointed for
his wedding, and brought the simple
country maiden back a peerless Of the
realm.
The marriage turned out very hap
PLY, like the more recent marriage Of an
English gentleman in New York, who
found a young e,nigrant girl Of his own
nationality who had missed her friends
and was alone in the street. He asked her
after a few moments conversation if she
had come to America to find a husband,
and when she answered coyly in the af-
frmative he took her to the nearest
church, and they were welded, and are,
according to the latest reports, happy
together. New York Sun.

Chased by a Bear.

A Hazelton man, Williams by name,
will be more careful in the future what
he strikes at with his whip when in the
woods. The other day while riding
horseback along a mountain road he saw
in the bushes close at hand what he took
to be a black dog. AS he passed he
struck it a blow and the next moment
he was Mortified to discover that it was
a bear. Bruin Immediately started in
pursuit, and although he dashed his
horse the steep hill was against him, and
the bear soon was close enough to make
a jump and fasten his claws in the back
Of the buggy.

weighing 1900 pounds, set on rubble ma.
sonry two feet deep and having three
supports not more than five inches wide
for the wheel to rest upon. It shall be
struck centrally on the hub by a weight
Of 140 pounds, falling from a height OF

Why Ice Floats.

Did you ever wonder why it is that
ice, being formed of CONCEALED water,
floats? And why, on some still lakes, it
begins to form at the bottom before it
does on the surface? Scientists explain
these enigmas this wise: Ice is specifical,
~ lighter than water just about to
freeze, and therefore floats in it. This
is o~ne>reason why the formation of ice
usually begins at the surface.
Another is its peculiar law of expan.
sion. The general law is that cold in
duces expansion; this law holds good
with water only to a certain point.
When water has cooled down to within
IA dogs. Of freezing it ceases to contract
as before with increase of cold and be
gins to expand till it freezes.
This expansion causes the colder por.
tons of the water to rise to the surface.
TIE formation Of ground ice" or
"anchor ice" as it is sometimes called,
is the only exception to the rule given
above.-St. Louis Republic.

- an after dinner speaker the en-

conventional c~Ommonplaces, and, above
all, gives the very best assurance that
his words are not prepared for him. !
have heard conspicuous speakers in Eng
land and in our W country, and, If
comparisons are not III this case invidi-
Gus, | should say that the German en-
perCr need not fear to meet such an au-
dience as even a New England society
dinner assemblies. One of the prettiest
speeches | have listened to was delivered
by the emperor in answering the toast to
his wife in the province where she was
born. 1t vas during the great combined
naval and military maneuvers of 1890, at
which the United States was represented
by Commander Ward, and Great Britain
by Admiral Horribly.
The emperOr's words were: II desire
to express to you, my dearest sir, the
gratitude felt by the empress and myself
for the kind words we have just heard.
At the same time our thanks to the
"lIOIG 1OT TIE gay we have passed anu
for the reception which the province has
prepared for us. This day was, how
ever, not needed in order to assure Us
Of the warm friendship we have found
here.
1.-THE bond that unites me to this prov
ince and chains me to her in a manner
different from all others of my empire is
the jewel that sparkles at my side, her
majesty the empress. Sprung from this
soil, the type Of the various virtues of a
German princess, it is TO her that | owe
it if | am able to meet the severe labors
Of my office with q happy spirit and
make head against them"
The words of the emperor were unex-
rected, and to no one more SO than to
his wife, whose face beamed with happi-
ness at the compliment she. so publicly
received. Nor did any n who listened
to the speaker at that dinner think to
question the s~pontaneity and honesty Of

4 Horse

The fishermen of Kittery were sur.
prised, on going out to their weirs the
other morning, to find it occupied
by a horse mackerel weighing $3.50
pounds, especially IS the trap had
been shat close. The surmise is
that in his wanderings he was at
tracted to the weirs by the mackerel
in it, aud, finding no way of ingress, on
the high tide jumped over the netting.
The point was to capture him without
tearing tie seine or netting. which WAS
finally accomplished, after a four hours
hard struggle, by the aid Of a harpooa.
He was lowed out to sea and set adrift.

Zig Prices for Literary wosS.

1t Is announced that Mark Twain has
sold the new novel which be has about
completed for S12, 900, and this includes
only the serial rights, and it is also an
nounced that he is to be paid 81, 200
apiece for a number of letters from
Europe.
With the exception of the "~Innocents
Abroad" and possibly "Roughing 1t, no
one Of Mark Twain's novels has brought
him the sum of $12, 600. The "Gilded
Age" yielded him nearly $1,000, but
that was because it was dramatized and
played by John T. Raymond. He told
me only n few weeks before he sailed
for Europe, that leaving the ''Innocents
Abroad" out of the consideration, his
other books in this country have brought
him only a fair return, and that his
largest profits had been as a publisher
and as a maker of plays for the stage.
1t is also announced that Mr.. Howells
has sold the rights to a new novel for
serial publication for $4,000. That is
more money than Mr.. Howells has re-
ceived for any Of his stories. Were it
not for the serial publication of his
stories in the magazines he would not
be able to support himself with his pen.
Even the most popular of his recent
novels brought him royalties of less than
S. 1900 for the sale of it in book form.
The largest sum ever paid for serial pub
l~ication Of a novel was So, 900, which
the Boomers paid or are to pay Mrs.
Burnett for a new novel, and even her
Little Lord Fauntleroy" in book form
did not bring her any such sum as that.

SANTA Rosa, July 13.-On July 5th
John l.. Walker of Sebastopol found a
number of torn and bloody garments
near marsh on his fathers ranch. On
the ground near by were evidences of a
desperate struggle, and it was thought
some one had been murdered there and
the body sunk in the marsh. To-day the
Sheriff arrested Joseph Walker, brother
of John Walker, owner of the ranch, for
completely in the murder.
1t has been learned that Walker, in
company with two Indians and their
wives, on the night of July 5th, was at
the spot where the bloody garments were
found.
Walker explains the blood on the shirt
found. by saying that while trying
to protect the Indian woman from
a beating by her husband he
causing it to bleed. The Indian then
tore off his shirt, allowing him to wipe
the blood on it. The Indian denies this
part of the story, but says Walker was
there. Both Indians have been indicted
on charge of murder.
Thus far no trace of the body of the
supposed murdered man has been found.
A young man named George Fisher, who
had been working about Sebastopol for
several months, is missing, and it is
thought probably he has been murdered.
John Walker, brother of the accused
man. is one of the largest land owners in
Sonoma County and is proprietor of the
wooden mills at Santa Rosa.

THE couNrRY,s FINANCES.
Secretary Foster Thinks We Can Pa,
All Appropriations.

Secretary Foster Thinks We Can Pay
All Appropriations.
NEW YORK, July 13.-Secretary Foster
expresses his views Of the financial situa-
ton over his own signature in the edi-
torial columns of the Recorder. He nrst
defends the 'Billion-doilar Congress- by
insisting that this is a billion-dollar
country. The appropriations made for
Government purposes are properly sub
iects of inquiries. Is the Treasury in
such financial condition as to be able to
pay them? And are they, in the light of
the necessities of the people, justitiable2
If these two questions can be answered
attlrmatlvely, no reasonable objection
can be made to the appropriation.
In answering these questions he says:
According to the estimate of Senator
Allison, which | regard as the best au-
thority, the increase in the appropria-
tions for the years 1891 and 1897 over the
two years of 1889 and 1890 was Sl79, coo, ,O0O
OF this increase So, ,600, 600 was for the
postal service. If we bear in mind that
the increase in postal receipts for the
fiscal year of 1891 over the fiscal year of
1885 was So, $4,000 it will be seen that
this increase simply represents the
growth OF the country, and is not an ap-
preparation in the ordinary meaning of
the term. All that the Government really
pays out OF the postal appropriation is
the difference between the receipts for
postage and the expense of the service,
amounting annually to S5,0O0,0G0 or
81, 100000.
''In regard to $3.50, ,OOO, 600 increase in ac-
count of pensions it is hardly necessary to
say anything at this time.
Neither is the increased appropriation
of Sll 100000 for new ships and for the
navy one to which any intelligent man
Will object in view of recent occurrences.
1.-The increased appropriations for the
Agricultural Department have already
justified themselves in the revival of ag-
riculture and in the placing of our meat
products OIL firm footing in the markets
of the world"
The Secretary then proceeds to explain
the river and narbor bill by saying that
no Democrat will object to an appropria-
tion of 100000 for the improvement of
Galveston harbor, nor will anyone seri-
ously denounce an increase OF S., ,OO0, 900
for harbor defenses.

PARIS, July 13.-There was considera-
bic excitement to-day throughout Paris,
caused by a report that President Carnot
had been shot. The rumor proved un-
true, but there was some foundation for
it.
The President was present to-day at
the ceremonies of the official opening of a
new thoroughfare, where he received an
enthusiastic welcome. Suddenly a wild
eyed man. making insane gestures,
forced his way through the crowd, rushed
to the carriage and fired a pistol at Car
not, the man shouting, cpl prove that
there are more bastiles to be demoI-
ished."
The man was promptly arrested, and
such was the anger Of the crowd present
that the officers had the greatest difficulty
in preventing the prisoner from becoming
the victim Of popular fury. 1t was soon
learned that the prisoner was mad man
who had just been released from lunatic
asylum.

New York, July 13-The Atlas line
mail steamer Athos, from Port Limon.
arrived this afternoon. Late in June the
Athos touched at Hayti, and according to
her officers it was learned that Fred.
Douglass, United States Minister to
Hayti had left his post at Port-au-
Prince, because the Haytian Government
d1d not care to recognize representative
OF the United States, and it was rather the
desire ofthe BLACK Republic" to break
otfall intercourse with this country.
The Haytian Government, it was said.
fears the United States, and in order to
avoid interference of any kind from this
Government will sacrifice social inter
course with it.
Legitlme was still at Kingston, and
was growing in favor. The Haytians
prefer him TO Hippolyte, and only await
his word TO institute another revolt.
The AthoS also brought news of the
failure OF the extensive fruit importing
corporation known as the Baltimore
Fruit Company.
DOES NOT RELIEVE THE REPORT.
WASHINGTON, July 13.-Acting Secre-
tary of State Wharton regards the reports
brought by steamer from Hayti, that
Minister Douglass left Port-au-P Prince be-
cause the Haytian Government desired to
break of intercourse with this country,
as pure invention, and says there is no
reason to believe any such condition of
affairs exists in Hayti.
Minister Douglass, when shown the tele-
gram tonight, said to his personal lnowl-
edge the Haytian Government did not
wish TO break off intercourse with the
United States, nor did he believe that the
Government was dissatisfied with him as
Minister
