An Awkward Blunder.

At certain court of justice an awk-
ward blunder was made by the prisoner
in the dock. He was being tried for
murder and the evidence was almost
wholly circumstantial, a chief portion of
it being a hat of the ordinary "billycock'
pattern that had been found. close to
the scene of the crime, and which, more
over, was sworn to as the prisoners.
Counsel for the defense expatiated upon
the commonness of hats of the kind.
"You, gentlemen" he said, ''no doubt
each of you has just such hat as this.
Beware, then, how you condemn fel-
low creature on such piece of evi,
dence," and so forth. In the end the
man was acquitted, but just as he was
leaving the dock he turned in respect

Marriage by Proxy.

A curious custom among the rulers Of
the Old World is marriage by proxy,
For instance, Francis Ii, the ex-king OF
Naples, was welded by proxy in 1859 tc
Maria, a duchess of Bavaria. Of course
the marriage by proxy goes no further
than the ceremony. Exactly why il
should be done at all is not clear by past
or present history, unless to save the
prince the trouble of going after his wife
and give her decent excuse for coming
to him.
In the case of Francis, he had never
seen Mdria, and their first interview i
Rid to have been attended with consid
erable disappointment. In fact, if the
young man had not been already mar
ried by proxy he would probably have
never married the lady at all.-Drake'<

A TERRIBLE CRIME.
swift Punishment Melted Out to the Male
factors by a Mob. I"

NAsHv1LLE, Tenn, April 2S.-A terri
BILE crime, followed by swift punishment,
is reported from Goodlettville, ten miles
from Nashville, on the ST. Louis branch
of the Louisville and Nashville railroad.
The tollkeeper, Lee Bruce, living half
mile from town, died about month ago
leaving wife and daughter nearly grown,
Zenia, aged Is. Last night a cousin of
Zenia's, Mary Bruce, spent the night with
her, and one or two other women were
there. About 10 o'clock. two negroes
broke into the house, and after robbing
two rooms, came into the room where the
girls were in bed.
AS if by generalization the brutes put
out the light and each seized one OF the
girls, who screamed and resisted until
they were overpowered, the elder being
badly injured before the brutes accom-
plished their purpose. The women sit
ting in the other room, instead ofrushing
to their assistance, were frightened and
ran away from the house for help, the
nearest house being half a mile distant.
Before they came with help, the brutes
had more than once repeated their crime.
Search was at once instituted and five
negroes were captured, and taken before
the girls for Identification. One proved
an alibi, Henry Grizzard was identified
and hanged to a tree. The other three
were sent to Jail to await developments.
Before. he died Henry Grizzard confessed
his crime and implicated Mack Harper,
but the girls were too excited to posi-
lively identify Harper at the time. On
Grizzard's body was pinned card read
ing death to the man who cuts the
body down before midnight" Detective
Morton secured a team and started to
Nashville with Eph Grizzard, Jonn Griz-
zard and Mack Harper. They were
pursued by the mob who captured the
three negroes, took them back to town
and thence a mile out on the creek where
Henry Grizzard was hanging Mack Har-
per was quickly hanged, and the two
other men were sent to Nashville.

What Free Silver Means.

BY ''free silver" is meant the free
coinage of silver, the placing of silver
on an'equality with gold in the mints of
the United States. At present any man
who has gold can get it coined without
charge; but man who has silver bull
lion must sell it to the government,
which coins it or. issues certificates
against it.-New York Sun.

BAD AIR IN THEATRES.
Even siill Life Less Severe on the Lungs
Than Piay-GoinR.

II is alleged on scientific authority, and
seems quite worthy of belief. that the air
of theatres is the worst that is breathed,
except in mines. for there are no other
buildings into which people are so closely
crowded for hours at tine.
Prisons, barracks. schools, factories,
hospitals, offices-places that are occupied
constantly. or which, being used in day.
time. require lighting by many. windows,
that do some service as ventilators-are
bad enough, yet in many mills. with their
thousands Of operators and with chemical
fumes and floating dust in the air, the
lungs take in less impurity than is received
al the theatre and the concert hall.
c. s. Montgomery says in the Engineering
MAGAZINE that the mill. With its air con-
tanning Is per cent. of impurity. works
more harm than the theatre with 30 per
cent. of poison in its atmosphere-both
illustrations being extreme-is due TO the
fact that tho operatives breathe the 10 per
cent. adulteration. say sixty hours week.
while the theatre-goer. who perhaps at
tends performance two nights in the
seven. takes but SIX or seven hours OF his

Still, a lack Of immediate bad results at
the play does not excuse managers and
owners from their neglect to furnish arr

SEVEN CHASTITY RELICS.
Skeletons of Confederate Soldiers Cn-
earthed on south Mountain.

One day recently, says the Boonsboro
(Md.) VALLEY Register, while MIR. Clayton
Smith was ploughing on the Daniel Kent
farm. now owned and occupied by MIR.
Luther Warrenteltz. and situated about
one mile north of Mrs, Nj. v. Dahlgren,s
summer home in Turner'S Gap" on South
Mountain, and about six miles west OF THIS
place. he ploughed up the skeletonof
Confederate soldier.
On Thursday evening Of last week Mr..
WarrenfeltZ went to the spot to make q
further investigation. and IN short time
succeeded IN unearthing the bones OF two
moro soldiers. He was confident that there
were still more bodies 10 be found, but
night coming on he ceased his search. The
following morning Mr.. Warrenfeitz in-
formed the Register by letter OF his ghastiy
find, and requested US to notify the Con-
federate Memorial Association OF Frede-
rick. which was done.
Tns finding of the bodies was soon
nolsed about, and on Sunday afternoon
last number of persons visited the scene.
and while there they uncovered four NOR
bodies. making seven in all. The bone
were not much over q foot below the sur
face of the ground, and several of the
skulls were remarkably well preserved,
even to the teeth. The soles and .uppeIs
of some of the shoes were found; also,
some small buckles. shirt buttons, frag.
ments of clothing. &c.
Several of the skeletons revealed in q
very forcible manner the cause OF death.
Firmly imbedded in one of the skulls were
three bullets-one above the eve, one in
the Jaw, and one in the back part of the
skull. Two breast-bones each contained
bullet, and there was also leaden missile IN
one Of the thigh-bones. la all fourteen bull
lets were found in the seven bodies, but
some of them had never been fred, and
were presumably IN the pockets or car
tridge-boxes of the men when killed. A
