A Michigan Romance.

Ovid's art of Love- tells of many inter
esting vagaries and eccentricities of the
tender passion, but the Roman author re-
lates no such remarkable experience as
that of the two aged Michigan lovers who,
after lapse of siXty-tive years, have re-
turned to each others arms. During this
prolonged separation they have each been
married four times, but the original flame
kindled by Cupid in their breasts still
burns with consuming warmth. Appro-
priately enough, the news of this apothe-
osis of early affection comes from Ovid,

into insensibility, and was held in damp,
dark dungeon under load of chains The
dungeon still remains to a great extent
with certain sufficient improvements in the
matters of dampness and darkness, but the
police officers no longer capture or hold in
the same way.
In Superintendent Byrnes' collection Of
curiosities says the New York Sun, you
may see queer looking instrument made
of cord fastened to two small sticks, and
the superintendent will tell you that it is
pair of nippers of the old pattern. The
nippers are used to lay hold suddenly of
criminal when it is feared that he will try
to run regardless of the danger of bullets.
The policeman may be after pickpocket
or the principal in a free fight The old
wood and string device was better than
nothing, but to escape from it was easy for
a criminal of any ingenuity and of suffi-
cient desperation.
There are now two kinds of nippers that
are perfect, each in its way. The first are
called twisters or chain nippers. The POI
liceman holds one handle, swings the chain
around the criminals wrist and catches the
other handle. which fits into the first han
die. By turning his hand he may loosen or
tighten his grip at will. The other device
- CthllCb buG dulOIidbiC pOllCt HlDptIS. ~
catch in the handle enables the policeman
to throw open the prongs. AS he strikes
the projecting piece inside the ring against
the criminals wrist the prongs close auto
matically and are fast locked
Nearly akin to these nippers are the
handouts, which also seem to have been
improved to perfection. The old handcuff
was made so that it had the same circle for
all wrists. The new handouts are so ar
ranged that the policeman may reduce the
circle to any size. A second turn of the
key locks the handcuff in such way that
the circle could not be changed by any
trick of the criminal. A well known expert
in the making of bracelets" says that he
takes no stock in the stories of prisoners
with such small hands that the handouts
will not stay on the wrists He says that
a careful officer will see that the handcuff
is above the wrist bone The keys to all
handouts of the same make are alike, and
no doubt criminals often carry keys and
open the cuffs when the officers are not
looking

SIGNED THE WRONG WILL.
The Reason why an Estate Is Now in
filtration.

The Reason why an Estate Is Now i'm
Litigation.
A very curious case in which a husband
executed a will which had been prepared
for his wife, and the wife executed will
which had been prepared for her husband
has recently been decided by the general
term of the supreme court of New York in
the fourth judicial department (Syracuse)
John and Jane Nelson, being husband and
wife, wanted to make wills each in favor
of the other and employed William Cowie
to prepare the instrument, which he did in
due form.
The wills, says the Albany Argus, were
read and placed upon the table for sigma
ture. Each then signed one of the wills,
made the requisite declaration as to the
character of the instrument, and asked the
subscribing witnesses to sign. After exc
cution the wills were sealed up in an en-
velope, which was not opened until after
the husbands death, when it was discov-
cred for the first time that each had by
mistake signed the will Intended for the
other. The wife brought suit in the SUI
preme court to correct her husbands mis-
take in signing the wrong will by reform
ing the language of the will which he did
actually execute, so as to make it conform
to that which he certainly intended to exc
cute.
Her complaint was dismissed at the
special term, however, and the appellate
branch of the supreme court holds that
the dismissal was right. Mr. Justice Mar
tin, in the opinion of the general term,
says in substance that there is no will to
correct, because the husband did not make
any will at all. The instrument that he ex-
ecuted was his wife's will, and of no more
legal significance than if it had been a
blank piece of paper. No precisely similar
case is reported in New York, but there
are English and Pennsylvania decisions in
point adverse to the position of the wife.

An Historic snot.

Beauchamp tower, which is part of the
great fortress known as the Tower, ia
London, stands on the west side of the
Green, bowlder paved quadrangle, in
closed by the massive gray Notifications.
A few trees rise among the powders The
sun shines on the clean stone flooring Of
the Green, and the clouds are driven
across the blue sky overhead.
In the center small space is rallied in.
Here Anne Boleyn, Catharine Howard,
Lady Jane Grey and Thomas Cromwell,
earl Of Essex, were beheaded, victims to
the passions of a cruel age Here, too, the
fged Countess of Salisbury, condemned to
DEATH refused to Ley her head on the
block, declaring tnat 1T was not the head
of u traitor" and compelled the execution
er to kill her standing.
One wonders If, as these men and women
gazed for the last time at the gray walls
around them and the clouds driven across
the blue sky, they saw the justice of God
above the power Of man.
The narrow windows of PeauchamD
tower look down Oh this blood stained
space. 1T was a prison to which the Tudor
kings and queens condemned troublesome
people who differed from them in opinion,
in politics or religion. The walls were COW

Faith Of Italian Fishermen.

The blind faith of the Italian fisher
men in the efficacy of holy relics is pa
thetic. Many of them keep themselves
in state of utter impoverishment in
providing necessary amulets and charms.
Not only is the fisherman's person COW
cred with these, but his boat must also
possess all possible saving power through
these religious appliances. Should some
great storm arise and genuine danger
come, one by one these objects are cast
upon the waves with faith that is posi-
lively sublime. Meanwhile his wife
ashore, possessed of the same implicit
and pious confidence, gives her most
precious relics to the sea that her hus-
band may come safe to land And have
no doubt that when fatal disaster comes,
as it always does, this man sinks into
the silence beneath the tempest with his
last spark of vital consciousness an I'M
dimmed flame of trust and faith.-Ex-

any person standing on the track, no
