LONDON, Jan 9.--The Gar is reported to
have set his face against the marriage of his
niece, the Princess Marie of Edinburgh, to
the crown Prince of Roumania, and as the
lady herself is not overwhelmed to take
the place in the gentleman's affection so
recently occupied by Mademoiselle Vacar-

will again fail in his matrimonial designs.
The Prince IS q years old, not particularly

LYONS, n. Y, Jan. 9.-May Cross, of the
village of Jordan, was taken two years ago
with the grip, which left her with spinal
trouble. This was aggravated by strain in
lifting heavy tub, and since then she has
been bedridden. Her stomach refuses for
long periods to retain food, and her parents
say she has gone 65 days without taking as
much as a teacupful of nourishment.
For long time she subsisted on cup or
two of cider day. When that refused to
assimilate milk was tried and then broths.
AT present she drinks half cupful of broth
every morning. Another peculiar feature
of her disease is her inability to close her
eyes, except for about an hour in the morn
ing. Her case is a puzzle to all the physi-
clans in the section.

still lives. In the meantime efforts are
being made to arouse if possible, the ap-

A New Story of General Grant.

Grant, tie other day that never saw in

dent of the Courier-Journal. 1t will be
recalled that early in the war the New
York Fire Zouaves were a crack regi.
ment, commanded by Colonel Ellsworth.
Every man in the ranks had been a fire.
man, and 1t was confidently believed
that Ellsworth's command was able to
put down the war without assistance,
The Colonel was young man, hand
some, gallant, burning with military
ardor and thirsting for military fame,
He was as much the idol of the North
as Ashby was few months later the idol
of the South. The Fire Zouaves were
the first troops to march into Alexan-
dria, Va. Their Colonel was at their
head, and after the town had surren-
dered Ellsworth saw Confederate flag
flying from hotel.
Instead of ordering a squad to remove
it he bolted into the house, assembled the
stairway, went out on the roof and cap
tured the flag; descending he was con.
ironted by the landlord-one Jackson
who shot him dead. jackson himself
was then shot to death, and the affair
created more sensation than considerable
battles few years later. After the war
a daughter of Jackson secured an ap-
pointment in one of the departments
here. She was modest, diligent and
capable young woman, and discharged
her official duties acceptably. In the
course of time a SUPERFICIAL gentleman
was put in charge of the bureau in which
she worked.
Nosing around, he soon discover the
antecedents of the young clerk and dis
charged her. She was friendless and
penniless, and as last resort went to
the White House and called for General
Grant. He received her, and she related
her story to the silent man. Without
saying word he took piece of paper
and wrote: 'The war against men is
enoed, and my Administration shall not
begin one against women. Restore Miss
Jackson to her former clerkship instant
ly." This was addressed to the loyal
bureau official, and the young lady is yet
in the public service. That was an ex-
hibition of chivalry that Duriois or
Francis /. might have envied.

Water Purified by Electricity.

The Webster method of purifying
waste water by means of electricity has
been tested by DR.. Fermi in the Hygie.
mic Institute, at Munich, Germany.
During the course of the experiments it
was found that the water became purified
in about fifteen minutes, the organic
substances being reduced by about one
half, and the suspended substances be-
ing precipitated to the bottom. The
smell of the water was perceptibly i'm
proved.
While the results of the tests show
that electricity does not at the present
time realize the ideal of water purifica-
ton, it has two great advantages; first,
that very little iron is precipitated and
its removal is not so difficult as in the
case of publication by chemical means,
and, second, the dissolved organic sub
stances, which are not precipitated by
any of the known chemical methods
hitherto employed, are at least partially
removed by the electric current. -Paita-

An Island of the Dead.

The captain of coasting vessel that
lately put into Guaymas, Mexico, tells a
story of a strange discovery made by
him when his vessel had been driven off
her course some weeks ago. He sighted
an island not down on any of the charts.
He sent a boat ashore and the men re.
turned and said that no one lived there,
but there were many houses and evil
dences that at one time the island had
been inhabited. The captain himself
then went ashore and found that the
island had undoubtedly been swept by a
scourge of some kind, which had carried
off every living being. There were nu-
merous huts showing that at one time
the place had been thickly inhabited,
but not living thing could be found.
An investigation showed that the former
residents had died in such numbers that
they had not been buried, but the skele-
tons were lying around the island wher-
ever the people had been when death
had overtaken them. In one hut were
the remains of seventeen people, while
in many others skeletons were found in
great numbers. They had been dead
for such time that the bones were be.
ginning to decay. There was little to
show what kind of people they wore,
but it is supposed that they belong to
some of the numerous island tribes
which were so abundant on this part of
the coast fifty years ago.-Neao Orleans

A Fine Game Preserve.

The Rev. N. NJ. Jurney, of Lecsville,
N. c., has associated number of gen
tlemen with him, and they have estab-
lished in Cartaret County one of the
finest game preserves in North Carolina.
The gentlemen who own the preserve are
only worth SIS, 900, 600 in the aggregate.
They have purchased 5000 acres of land,
and have posted it, to be used exclusive
ly for their own hunting. This large
tract of land is vast forest, and it con-
tains the finest fresh water pond in the
State. This pond is three miles long and
from hundred yards to a half mile in
width, and abounds in fish. In the for
est there is an abundance of deer, wild
turkeys, wild ducks, wildcats, quail,
squirrels, etc. Forty-fve deer were
killed on this tract alone last season.

A Contractors Little Scheme.

A local contractor has a peculiar
method of keeping tab on gang of
Italian laborers working under him. The
men are known only by numbers, and to
keep track of the doings of each in
dividual is matter of considerable diff
Guilty. They are all apt to sneak off
when the foreman's back is turned, and
sit down for a rest. The unique plan of
the contractor in question is devised to
put an end to this lazy practice and the
consequent loss of time. In the morning
before the gang goes to work each mans
number is printed in chalk on his
trousers. When the men knock off
work in the evening the chalk marks are
inspected, and if any are found to be
erased or blurred, the unfortunate Italian
to whose trousers the blurred number
appertains is docked days pay. The
scheae works admirably, as the men
prefer to torego the pleasure of few
minutes rest rather than lose their pay.

The depreciation of farming lands in
England has gone SO far, asserts the
Boston Cultiuat0r, that in many localities
they are worth only half what they were
twenty years ago. The low price of
wheat, and competition with other
countries in meat and other food
products, is responsible for much of this
decrease in price, though part of it is due
to succession of bad seasons. The
United States now leads all competitions
in wheat production. But it is certain
that after few more years American
increase in population will take all the
wheat we can grow. When that time
comes, not only English but other wheat
growers will share in the increased
prosperity of farming that must every
where prevail.

Twenty Dined Off One Potato.

largest sweet potatoes ever raised, per,

pounds. The largest one was given by

were eighteen members-the husband
and wife and sixteen children-all of
whom were great lovers of potatoes.
Sunday they decided to have it for
dinner.
1t was fried-a part of it at least--and
was amply enough for all the family, be-
sides a married daughter and her
husband who were spending the day
there. The remainder of the mammoth
potato was made up into potato pone
and furnished dessert enough for the

Why cannot, asks the New Orleans
Picayune, some able designer get up a
representation of the eagle that looks
something like that glorious bird? Tho
spread wing idea is unnatural and alb
surd. 1t is only because of its antiquity
that it is tolerated. An eagle that would
spread its wings and legs in an attempt
to symbolic peace and war deserves to
be shot. A tiue design of an American
eagle at rest, perched on a crag or limb
of tree, would not be bad one for
our silver coins.

SON--~
not reach, he was an unconscious fact or
in one of the prettiest romances that ever
cast fragrance over the life OF news
paper man.
This was the cause of all the trouble.
Fergus Cameron was the ten-shilling-a-
week clerk at the salt pans. One and
one made two during the day, but one
and one in the evening represented only
one, for while the former might be bags
of salt, or pounds, shillings or pence,
the latter were the mutually sympathetic
hearts of Fergus Cameron and Maud
Graham, the pretty daughter of the
Dundee bailie.
Now, the average Scotch bailie is a
much bigger man, in his own estimation.
than the President of the United States.
A chief magistrate of our nation might
allow his daughter to marry an ordinary
book-keeper; but a President of the
United States is no criterion in estima-
ting man chosen to fill the chair once
graced by such illustrious characters as
Donald MacTavish and Sandy Jameson.
Shades of Nebuchadnezzar who so great

You may have heard of the Scotch
bailie, but l knew one. 1t was long
ago, but the awe-inspiring influence of a
personal acquaintance with him has not
yet departed. He was a newspaper man,
SO he said, claiming the title by virtue
of part ownership with his wife and
Kirsty Buckley, grabbed old maid. in
a newspaper and magazine depot. All
in all, he was a great man in the town.
Examination day always brought him to
school, and en- such an occasion he gen
orally stood with the Latin book upside
down.
"Excuse me, Bailie," our teacher
would remark in his meekest way, Sex
cuse me, you have the book upside
down."
''Sir, don't you think bailie can read
Latin upside down3"
How we prayed that kind Providence
in much love and mercy might make of
us bailies and newspaper men.
Do you wonder that Fergus Cameron
was kicked downstairs, and that bag
of onions and clothes-line fastened
his departure, and that three weeks later
he stood upon the deck of an Atlantic
liner, gazing with fearful eye on the
fast fading shore-line of the land of blue
mist and purple heather2 An American
youth would have been happier under
the circumstances, for he would have
had Maud Graham with him; so little
respect has an American youth for the
exalted office of Scotch bailie.

WISE WORDS.
1t is sometimes hard to distinguish in
nocence from bluff.

1t is sometimes hard to distinguish in
nocence from bluff.
Contentment is not knowing anyone
who has anything better than you have.
Every man ir trouble feels that his
friends are not as indignant as they should
be.
Nearly any man will spend 800 worth
of time to get thirty cents worth of re-
venge.
Men are like little boys; they all like
to have great big rag tied around lit
tie sore.
The man who can win the reputation
of being able to lick everybody saves
himself lots of fights.
There is one thing you can always de-
pend on man doing, and that is the
thing he wants to do.
Men and women are the only things
ever created that the nearer you get to
them the smaller they get.
There is one thing in which the poor
man has the advantage of rich man; he
knows who are his friends.
When girl who is engaged to be
married tells of her engagement, it is
very good sign that she was never en-
gagged before.
Every woman believes that if her hus-
band could be married to some other
woman for a week he would know how
to appreciate her.
Marriage seems never so much a fail
ure to man as when something goes
wrong at home that he can't possibly
blame on his wife.
1t makes no difference how worthless
a man is; his mother thinks it no sacri-
lege to delude the best girl in the world
into marrying him.
We heard two young men discussing
boarding-houses. SAT the place where
board, one of them said, "the home
influence is better than the meals.
Young people usually talk so much to
each other when they are engaged that
by the time they are married they have
nothing left to say, and begin to invite
others in.
