Waiting For His Answer via China.


Battle Creek, Dec GA unique little
romance has come to light in our society
circles. A young man, considerably i'm
bued with the sentimental, made a pro
posal Of marriage to his best girl. He
was not satisfied to make it in the ordi-
nary way, and so he wrote a long letter
expressing his undying affection and love
and asked her TO live in humble cottage
with him. This letter he mailed via San
Francisco to a friend living in China,
with the request that he forward it to
America via England When the young
lady received the proposal it had come TO
her around the world. This was very
romantic. No other girl ever received a
proposal of marriage in such way. But
now the joke is on the fellow. He ex-
pected an immediate reply, yes or no, but
the smart girl has decided TO send her
answer around the world also. The girl.
not expecting the letter, did not suffer
anxiety, but the poor fellow is now on the
anxious seat and will have to wait the
coming letter on its long journey around
the world. His nights are now sleepless,
and his friends say that he is strangely
acting and absent minded

POISON IN LIEU OF A LOVER.
Tilda Malone Game Very Near Being
Corpse.


Tilda Malone, colored, was very
nearly successful in an attempt yester-
day to make a Fourth of July funeral.
Tilda lives with her husband on Charles
street, in Robertsville. Besides her hus-
band she has lover The lover and the
husband have been getting along very
well together, both living in the same
house, and the three have made very
happy trio.
The lover passed as Tilda's cousin. He
has either been attending some of the
revival meetings at the colored churches
recently, or had made up his mind TO
shake Tilda. Yesterday morning he
wrote her note, saying that he had be
como converted, and that he could no
longer continue to live as he had been do
ing, and their relations must
cease. This so affected the woman
that she went and purchased a two
ounce bottle of laudanum, the entire
contents of which she swallowed She
then wrote a note TO her lover In which
she told him that she had taken lauda-
mum. He went at once TO the house on
receipt of the note and found the woman
already insensiblc. DR.. NJ. X Corbin
was summoned Immediately. The woman
was barely alive when DR. Corbin ar
rived, breathing having entirely ceased
and the pupils Of the eyes having CON
tracted to the smallest possible dimcn-
siOns
BY using artificial respiration and
working constantly for three and half
hours the woman was finally brought
around and left in a safe condition. Both
husband and lover were present, and as
sisted in the work of resuscitating The
woman, showing apparently the friendli
est feeling for each other.
