Lands a Rich Duke Owned.

The late Duke of Devonshire owned
land in fourteen G.fcTent counties. The
estates extend to 49,, 900 acres, and the
annual rental is something over e110,-
900. Much of the land in and about
Eastbourne was the property Of the
duke, and, like hat in the vicinity Of
Barrow-in-Furness, has increased enor-
mously in value of late years.
The duke possessed no fewer than
sever seats, the cost of keeping up
which alone must have been consider
able. The duke had the patronage of
over forty church livings, the annual
total value of which exceeds &c, 900 per
mum.
The founder of the house was William
Cavendish, commonly supposed accord
ing TO Mr.. Evans "'Old Nobility') to be
identical with that Cavendish who wrote
the Life Of Wolsey," and who has been
immortalized by Shakespeare. The fifth
duke was the husband of the duchess
whose portrait was painted by Gainsbor-
ough, and about whom there is a story
similar to that of one of the duchesses of
Gordon of her kissing tradesmen to OBJ
tain votes. 1t was the sixth duke who
formed the famous gardens at Chats.

Marriage Under Difficulties.

A. N. Phillips and Mile Burns, OF
Coleridge, Neb., had to visit three states
before they were married.
The couple first. went to Harrington to
be united, but the bride was too young
to meet the requirements of the Ne
braska law. On Sunday they started
for Yankton, being assured that they
could meet with no obstacles. Arrived
at the Missouri river they found the
bridge had been washed out only an
hour before. 1t was night before they
finally found a boatman to take them to
the South Dakota bank, where they
found themselves two miles above the
town in a willow thicket.
Late at night they reached town and
were obliged to wait till morning before
calling ON a justice of the peace. On
Monday they learned to their disgust
that the laws of South Dakota, although
more liberal than those of Nebraska,
did not sanction the marriage Of one SO
young as the would be bride. They
were told to go to Iowa, which they did,
and there met with better success

Stricken with Blindness While Singing

SLrlchen Will bIAnuHeSS willie Sin$inS'
George Nicely, a Kensington boatman,
has been suddenly and mysteriously
stricken blind. His eyesight left him
Monday without warning and without
any painful confinement. He had begun
his usual work on a canal boat on the
Raritan canal, from New Brunswick.
He had walked a step or two OF the boat,
singing merrily to himself, when sud-
denly everything grew black. He could
not see objects half a foot distant. His
vision had completely failed him.
Cropping about the deck he tried t.
communicate his affection to the other
deck hands. When his true condition
was discovered he was tenderly taken
care of, and when the canal boatreached
this city he was conveyed to his home il
Kensington, and there attended to.
Still he grew no better. 1t was then de.
cided that the best place for him was q
hospital.
His nephew accompanied him to the
Philadelphia hospital. On arriving there
he was examined and placed in the
nervous ward, where he is resting quiet
ly, with his vision only slightly i'm.

Two Scared Indians.

Two Indians from the La Pointe re3er,
walton arrived in Bayfield, a few days
ago paralyzed with fear. They told a
wonderful story of adventure. They
had started on a hunt on Madeline island
and intended to visit some friends. They
camped on a spot about four miles from
the village. At midnight the Indians
were aroused by a fearful struggle. Be-
fore them were two men and a woman
battling, the contestants being covered
with blood.
The Indians say the forms disappeared
afterward, but the sounds and grOans
were kept up all night. People in that
vicinity claim there has been a terrible
murder committed on the island some
time in the past, and that the GHOSTS
of the parties were seen by the Indians.

Exporting Live Geese from Russia.

Live geese are exported from Russia
to Germany and Austria in very large
numbers. An export house of Warsaw
intends building special cars for the
transportation of geese directly to their
places of destination, if the railroad
managers will grant them permission to
run the cars. The ministry on roads Of
intercommunication was notified of the
proposal of that firm, and its favorable
decision is expected. The cars are to be
constructed with appliances to change
from the broad gauge of the Russian
lines to the narrow gauge of the German
lines without loss of time.-St. Peters

''Sons Of Liberty" were organized I'M
der a widespreading, beautiful elm,
which stood in front of a grocery near
what is now the corner Of Essex and
Washington streets, Boston--a tablet
on the present building marking the
spot. Here were exposed the effigies
of those men who had favored the
passage of the odious stamp act. In
the excited period which followed
nearly all the. political meetings of
the Sons of Liberty, called together
by the hosting Of a. flag on the staff
extending through the branchesof the
tree, were held under its waving
boughs and in the square about it.
During the siege of Boston, August,
1875, the tree was cut down bya gang
in the pay of the British soldiers and
the tories.

One day lot of earth and rock

Prompt and Heroic.

MI Australian boys are taught the
necessity of guarding against snake
bites. The treatment of such wounds
is necessary part Of their education.
One day two little fellows, six and
eight years old went into the bush
to play. The smaller one, chasing a
rabbit into a hole, pushed in his
hand, and brought it out quickly
with the head of yenomous snake
attached to one of the fingers.
Quick, Charley" he cried, putting
his hand down on a stump. "Chop off
my finger. The snake has bitten it.. /"
Charley, without pause, lifted his
AK and chopped not only the dam
aged finger, but two of the others as
we'll. Then the boys ran straight
into town, over a mile distant. and
sought surgeon, who dipped the in
iured members in ammonia before
dressing them. Imagine the pain Of
such burning bath!
A young Australian lady was one
day walking along the street, when
she saw dirty and Notwithstanding
tramp to whose leg yenomous snake
had affixed itself.
After killing the reptile with her
parasol she borrowed his pocket-knife,
cut the trousers away from the wound,
and then, cutting a cross upon the
bite itself, applied her lips to it, and
sucked the poison away. The tramp's
life was saved, at the sacrifice, per-
haps, of some dainty scruples.

Divorce in the Island of Madagascar.

Divorce is never very edifying
subject to study, although the Gus
toms of different countries vary con-
siderably. The Island OF Madagascar
is probably unique in the possession Of
a custom by which dissatisfied hus-

piece of money and say, Madam, /
thank you, in order to be divorced.
