Eugene Fields wife.

Mrs. Eugene Field is always spoken of
as little woman, but, as matter of fact,
she is somewhat above the medium
hight and fully up to the medium weight.
Her head is rather small and her hands
and feet extremely so, and somehow she
gives the impression of littleness, writes
John Ballantyne in a delightfully."- gossipy
sketch OF Mrs. Field in the LADIES' Home
journal. She has soft brown hair and
eyes--Celvet eyes, her husband calls
them-and complexion as clear and
fair as child's. She is the mother of
six children, three OF whom live to re-
mind her that, in spite of her youthful
appearance, time is fieeting. Her eldest
is a daughter of Is, already taller than
her mother. She is the Mary French
Field to whom Mr.. Fields Little Book
OF Profitable Tales is dedicated. The
other two are boys Eugene, aged II, and
Frederick, aged 10. The latter is the
baby of the family. 1t was to him that
Mr.. Field addressed his lines "To a
Usurper," written five or six years ago.
In this little poem he has paid deserved
tribute to his wife's steadfast and loyal
deyotions
And when that other comes to you,
God grant her love may shine
Through all your life as lair and true
As mamma does through mine.

SANTA Cruz, April 24.-Henry Wrinkle,
a rich farmer residing about two miles
from this city, came into town on Satur-
day, bringing tin box which he said
contained $1,000. He did not have the
key to the box and it was opened with a
chisel, and found to contain nothing but
twisted bars of lead and waste papers.
He then told story about as follows: On
the Wednesday previous slick appear
ing stranger called at his farm and rep
resented that he desired to purchase the
farm. Wrinkle showed him over the
ranch. On the walk they met another
man, who was friend of the pretended
purchaser. He said he had been looking
over the ranch for his friend. The three
kept up conversation until Wrinkle was
shown some wonderful tricks, which
could be done with cards, and he finally
bet 81 900 on three-card Winkle
did not have the coin, but as he was bet
ting on sure thing, he came to town and
borrowed the money at the bank. He
took the money in gold coin, returned to
the ranch. and made the bet, his new
friends insisting that his money, 81 600,
be put in tin box, they placing like
amount in the box. This was done and
the box locked. Wrinkle then turned the
card and won the bet. The party sepa-
rated, Wrinkle taking what he supposed
was the box containing the $1,000. The
swindlers had been stopping here several
days, ostensibly looking for real estate.

The Nicaragua Canal.

To-day the building of the Nicaragua
Canal is the most important enterprise
demanding the attention of the world.
From the discovery of America to the
present time passage from the Atlantic
TO the Pacific, across Central America, has
been sought; private capital has been
freely expended in seeking the best
route, our Government has sent out nu-
merous expeditions and surveyed the
IslhInus. The result of all these efforts
has been TO establish firmly the fact that
the only favorable route, at reasonable
cost, is the one across Nicaragua. AT the
present time an honest effort is being
made to construct the canal by CORPORA
ton composed of Americans. | believe
the close of the present century will see
the canal an accomplished fact.-Warner
Miller, in the Forum.

BALTIMORE, April 24.-Senator or
mans instructions to the Demo- ratic
clubs throughout the State to pass reso-
lutions indorsing Cleveland, it is now
said, were issued not because the Mary
land leader has given up his Presidential
aspirations, but in accordance with an
agreement entered into with Cleveland
people, by which German has promised
to use his influence with the Solid South
contingent to the Chicago Convention for
the ex-President. If, on account of the
hight in New York Cleveland is shown to
be an unavailable candidate, his friends,
it is declared, have promised to turn over
his strength to German. Leading officers
of the regular Democratic clubs in this
city, who were instrumental in having
the recent Cleveland resolution adopted,
do not hesitate to say that they do not be-
lieve Cleveland will be nominated, and
that German could carry New York
easier than either Hill or Cleveland.

CALCUTTA. April 24.-A very virulent
epidemic of cholera is raging at Benares.
Friday there were $50 new cases, and 135
deaths were reported. The epidemic is
the result Of an utter disregard of all SAN
itary precautions.
DR.. Gregg, Sanitary Commissioner for
Bengal, recently issued report upon the
outbreak of cholera that occurred at
Seramporr, few miles northwest of this
city. Over the whole affected area he
found that the water-tanks, of various
shapes, sizes and depths, all contained
very dirty water. Low, foul jungles reek-
ing with bad smell surrounded these
tanks. the surfaces of which were almost
completely hidden with thick decaying
water plants, while here and there was a
clear space where the inhabitants wash
cooking utensils and draw water for do
mestic use. Between and around the
houses are narrow lanes, bordered by
narrow, deep, uneven drains, in which
the filth collects. These substances, un-
der the influence of hot sun, quickly
decompose and emit foul odorS.
lin places DIR. Gregg actually observed
tions of decaying animals" Wherever
the people living in houses in the neigh
borhood of these tanks used the water
cholera made its appearance. The tanks
also are sources from which the milkmen
obtain water for their cows. and it is more
than probable they dilute the milk with
the same water. Continuing his inquiries
from house to house DR.. Gregg found that
wherever the supply of milk was obtained
from cows that drank at the dirty tanks
cholera was present, and there was a cor
responding absence of cholera among the
police constables, who Were supplied with
clean water from the police tanks and OBJ
tanned their milk supply from distance.
CHOLERA IN FRANCE.
PARIS, April lN.-Considerable anxiety
is occasioned here by report of the out
break ofcholera near Paris. A man living
at Puteaux, a village seven miles west,
has been admitted to the Beaujoin Hos
pital, where the doctors pronounce the
disease to be cholera. Three other men
from Neuiliy and Courbevoie, both of
which places are only few miles from
Paris, were subsequently admitted to the
hospital suffering from the same disease,
and one has since died. The authorities
declare the cases exceptions, and do not
fear that theadisease will extend.
One OF the victims is dead, and three
others are still suffering. 1t is learned
that it is not the dreaded Asiatic cholera,
but only mild form of the disease.

eral hundred yards behind were the cattle
men, closely guarded. The men were not

the presence and words of friends having
good deal to do with their feelings.
Would you have surrendered to
Sheriff's posse?' was asked one stock
man.
"No, we would not" was the reply.
''Every man had made up his mind to
die where he was rather than surrender,
and we would have sold our lives dearly"
Governor Barbour tonight stated in
answer to a question propounded by a
large number Of reporters who visited
him in body that he had no knowledge
whatever OF an intention of the cattle
men to make their invading trip. He
also stated that he had not decided ex-
actly what would be done with the cap
tured men.
For the present they will be kept at
Fort Russell, and when the time comes
they will be turned over to the civil
