DIED OF A BROKEN HEART,
a Negroes Pathetic Grief Over the Death
of EYfs XVIfe

a Negroes Pathetic Grief Over the Death
of His wife.
There recently died in Louisiana an
old negro woman named Aunt Harriet
Moore, who left to mourn her the
husband with whom she had lived
something over fifty years. Uncle
Nuggie seemed brokenhearted over
the loss, and it is thought finally had
his mind unsettled by his bereave-
ment At any rate after Aunt Harriet
had been dead ard buried several
days her husband went by night to
the cemetery and disinterrea the re-
mains and carried them home again.
He was met on the road by a man of
his own color, who, taking him for a
ghost, fed from him. He, however,
told what he had seen, and the neigh
bors went to Uncle Nuggie's cabin and
found him engaged in rubbing the
feet of the corpse with mustard, and
trying to force down the rigid thro at
hot whisky and water.
The old man said he had been
warned in dream that his wife was
only in trance, and that if he would
fetch her home and use measures to
revive her she would come to life
again. His grief when the body was
again taken from him was pitiful, and
he seemed urable to attend the
second burial. But, as the coffin was
being lowered into the grave, Uncle
Nuggie suddenly appeared, and,
breaking through the party about the
grave, threw himself into the hollow
on the caslzet. He was gotten out
with all speed, but he was found to be
quite dead though no injury to him
was visible, AMI the verdict given by
is that the oil man died in
the act of castirg himself down Of

Got Evon with the Judge.

1t is told of Henry w. Paine, the
Boston lawyer, who recently died in
that city, and who more than once
refused seat on the Massachusetts
supreme court bench, that while he
was arguing a case one dey before
Chief Justice Gray the latter inter
rupted the course OF the argument
with the impatient remark: 'Mr.
Paine. you know that is not law"
The nature and manner of the inter
ruption were of kind to throw even
the most self-possessed advocate of
his balance. Mr.. Paine, however,
without any outward man Hesitation Of
or embarrassment, replied
with simple dignity, "It was law until
your honor spoke" and proceeded
with his argument.

Where Suicide Was E1cusable.

A beggar at Pesth, Hungary, who
was arrested for throwing himself
into the river with intentions of COM
mitting suicide, was discharged after
telling his remarkable story. He was
an aged and shriveled specimen of hu-
manity, with long, patriarchal beard.
and acknowledged that he was past

he was no longer able to take care Of

Enormously Active Atoms.
If you think your polished diamond
Is mere aggregation of inanimate
crystals you are away wrong. If you
imagine that its components are de-
void of orderly, coherent motion, you
are equally mistaken. It has come to
pass that we are given to understa nd
that diamonds are masses of active
molecules. Inasmuch as every com
pact body is composed of multitudes
of exceedingly small, yet not indis-
tinguishable molecules, it might be
concluded that in a solid, at least,
these PARTICLES would be clustered to-
gether in an indivisible mass. This
theory as applied to diamonds is i'd
correct and has been completely over
thrown by the researches and expert
mentations of Sir Robert Ball of L;v-
erpool. The facts set forth by Mr.. Ball
with reference to the structure of the
diamond are fascinating. He asserts
that were the sensibility of our eyes
increased SO as to make them a few
million times more powerful it would
be seen that the diamond atoms,
which forms the perfect gem when ag-
gregated IN sufficient myria1s, are
each in condition of rapid movement
of the most complex description.
Each molecule would be seen swing
Ing to and fro with the utmost VIC.
lence among the ncighboring- mole
cules and quivering from the shocks
1T receives from encounters with other
molecules, which occur millions OF
times in each second. The hardness
and impenetrability so Characteristic
would at first sight seem to refute the
supposition that it is no more than a
cluster of rapidly moving particles;
but the well-known impenetrability
OF the gem arises from the fact that,
when attempt is made to press a steel
point into stone, it fails, because the
rapidly moving molecules of the stone
batter the metal with such extraor-
binary vehemence that they refuse to
allow it to penetrate or even to mark
the crystallized surface.

The Winters Art Lithographic Co
Attached - Trouble Due to
Mismanagement.

The White rs Art Lithographic Company of
Chicago is very tired OF San Francisco. Its
agency has not produced the satisfactory profits
for which il looked when the management eS-
tabShed it.
But the climax was reached last Friday when
suit on thirteen attachments commenced
against the company, Carter, Rice s. Co., the
Eastern printers. being the plaintiffs. The at
tachments aggregate the sum of 14,494, aud
individual notices OF garniSnments were yes
terday served on the members of the executive
committee of the Midwinter Fair.
The main cause of all the trouble is laid by
the present manager of the company at the
door OF young man aged % years who re-
ioices IN the name of Charles Johnston Smith
This gentleman, up to November last, was in
the employ OF a Milwaukee firm as drummer.
His businesSlke manner and hard-workng
habits recommended themselves To Manager
A. A. Winters, who secured his services as San
Francisco agent for the Chicago firm.
How could Mr.. Winters foretell that the glo-
riOus climate OF California would develop the
pushing young drummer into hrst-water
blood? Such, however, appears to have been
the case.

POPPER'S SCHEME.
His Post0ffice Primary
Plan
MEETS WITH DISAPPROVAL.
What Is Thought of 1t by Lead
erS of the Opposition.
MEETS WITH DESAPPROVAL.
LEADS TO BUYING OF BALLOTS
Arguments in Favor of and Objections
to Plan for Identifying
Each Voter.

The principal topic Of gossip among
Democrats, aside from various specula-
tions upon the result Of the Republican
convention, yesterday was Max Peppers
posloffice primary plan, which comes up
for consideration on Saturday next.
There will be fight when the delibera-
tion comes up. Things are not going to
work smoothly, by any means. There is a
large body of Democrats who wish things
TO remain in statu quo, and who impute
the reverse of good motives to the prime
movers of the scheme.
One of the leading members Of the oppo-
sition, as regards the new plan, spoke as
follows last evening:
THE new scheme of Pepper meets with
very earnest opposition from prominent
Democrats. The prediction Is freely made
that il will be defeated. The principal
objections urged are that as there will
have to be an election board TO provide for
the distribution of the ballots there will
be virtually all the evils of a primary, and
once the ballots were in the hands or the
voters any one could vote them. This, il
is urged. would corrupt the primary be-
yOnd all past eXperience-by enabling a
man with sack to purchase votes with
an assurance that the goods would be de-
livered-in fact, he would buy the ballots
and vote them himself.
In this way every suffer would have
something 10 sell; and If he could enroll
himself in every district he would have
eighteen ballots 10 dispose Of. Besides
the faction that happened TO contest the
canVaSsng boards of the districts could
secure all the suffers on the roll they
wished, and be certain Of carrying the
election.
The worst feature of it all, however, is
said 10 be that it places the laboring peo-
pie at the mercy of their employers. A
large corporation, for example, like the
street railroad c0mbiDe. which has thou
sands of employees. could insist that these
employees sign the clue rolls, and deliver
/ their ballots 10 some one interested in Civ
Ing votes TO the corporation.
"All these points are sure to be largely
discussed on Saturday night. The meet
/ lng bids fair To be an exceptionally lively
one. Those In favor of the new plan ac-
/ cOrding TO the constitution must obtain a
/ two-thirds vote in order TO secure its
/ adoption. The opponents of this iunova-
