: fought widows to marry?" II

fought widows to marry?" This
question is the subject of controversy in
England and France just now, and a
great diversity of opinion on the subject
has been developed. In the English pub
lie prints there have been many citations
of the example of Queen Victoria in re-
naming faithful to the memory of the
late Prince Consort, and the long widow
hood of the Queens regent of Spain and
Holland is also held up as further ex-
ample. So is the case Of Princess Be-
atrice, widow of Prince Henry of Batten-
berg. But the rules of conduct that gov
ern the lives of royal personages do not
apply to ordinary mortals, SAYS the
Argonaut, and even Princess Beatrice
may be EMBARRASSED at some future time
at being reminded of the inscription on
wreath she laid on her husbands coffin:
"Until death do US part; until death re-
unites u.s." On the Continent the opin-
ion is generally held that widows should
not condemn themselves to perpetual
solitude, and it is sustained by-of all
things in such sentimental subject-the
statistics of suicide. According to NJ.
Morselli, who is an authority on the sub
iect, out of 3G5 men who committed
suicide in Italy 100 were married, lGS
were bachelors and 157 were widowers.
In France it is among the widowers that
suicide finds the most victims. AS re-
CARDS married women, out of every hun.
dred who commit suicide in Italy and
France the majority are widows. In
France the number Of widows who com.
nit suicide is twice as great as that Of
women whose husbands are living. From
these statistics NJ. Morselli concludes that
widows and widowers are far more like
ly to be driven to despair and death than
other men and women, and that. there
fore, it is the duty of society to encourage
them to marry again.

"a Stencil in the NOstrils."

The dispensary and other scandals with
which the names of several prominent
Reformers are connected have become
stencil in the nostrils of ali honest people
regardless of factional affiliations. These
scandals have been brought to the atten-
ton of the people in such way that they
can no longer be laughed off or put aside
uncontradicted in the clearest and most
unequivocal denial, and the most unim-
peachable testimony produced to prove
their falsity. It is clearly the duty OF the
next General Assem- bly, to appoint an in
vestigation com mmittee, with power to send
for persons and papers, whose duty it will
be to slit these matters to the very bottom.
If Mixson is innocent if he were not Of
fered bribe in the nature ofrebates, then
he has nothing to fear but everything to
gain by being completely vindicated. If
Governor Evans is guiltless of receiving
$4,000 es bribes from Rhind in placing
the State bonds, and is in no way con-
nected with the several mi-doings with
which his name is connected then he
should be the very first to demand a
thorough and rigid investigation c. all
his official acts both while Senator from
Aiken County and as Governor of South
rolina.-Lerington Dispatch.

The banana is the chief substance of
more people than is bread. It's tender
shoots are cooked as greens, its stalk
Yields valuable fibre, which is woven
into textile fabrics, twisted into ropes and
made into paper. 1t was the abundant
banana which made possible Stanley g
march through Africa The banana is
the most productive of all fruits Of earth,
and it is estimated that the area which
will produce thirty-three pounds of wheat
will yield 400 pounds of bananas, and
the land which if planted with wheat will
support one man year will sustain
twenty-five men if planted in bananas.
The banana was first imported to America
about thlrty-tive years ago, and from a
few thousand bunches year the business
has grown to 100000 punches. The
fruit we get comes mostly from Central
America and the West Indies. At the
end of the season the bunch is ready to
be picked and the tree is cut down, as all
its energies have gone toward making one
beautiful bunch. The shoots around the
tree are inspected and all but two or three
are cut down. These two or three grow
up, produce their bunches and are in
turn destroyed. After Len years the
ground is 80 full of roots that 1t has to be
ploughed up and replanted.

that I shall say, therefore, is this: She
was born we'll, she lived we'll, and she
died we'll; for she was born with the

The legacy, which was certainly earn

A well-known French lawyer fire.
quently told the story of his making a
curious will at the death-bed of a
wealthy but eccentric client, whose
only relative was nephew with whom
he had for long refused to hold any
kind of communication and whom he
mortally hated. The lawyer, who was
a friend of the young man, was hastily
summoned to make the last will and
testament of the dying chevalier, who
consulted him as to which of his
friends he could leave his fortune.
Monsieur has a nephew" "Don't
speak of him; he hasn't franc, and
is dying Of hunger; do you think I'm
going to encourage such people?'
"But, sir, your nephew has no need of
encouragement. I know you have lost
sight of him for some time. 'True,
for some time" "Very we'll, in that
time he has made a fortune. "Ah,
bah! What is this you tell me?' "He
is now rich, steady and perfectly able
to dispense with your money y I'm
that case it is very different. Make
him my sole heir" Thewill was duly
executed accordingly. A once notori-

professor at the College of France,

thereupon as bootblack, exhibiting

College of France At his death he
bequeathed his box to the college ''for
the next unjustly dismissed profess

Drowned in Toledo Bay.

TOLEDO, ONO, August 3O.-Prof. Z. y.
Cole, OF Ann Arbor, Mich, an aeronaut,
was drowned in the bay off Presque Isle
this afternoon, and his companion, Joie
Carmose, narrowly escaped similar fate.
The couple have been for some time CIV
ing balloon ascensions at the Casino, re-
sort on the Bay shore. They made an
ascension this afternoon, and were to
drop with parachutes. The high wind
carried the balloon of shore, and in a
short time Cole and his companion found
themselves struggling in the water. Miss
Carmnses life preserver held her up until
assistance came, but Coles got away from
him, and being unable to recover it he
sank.

SUPREME JUDICIAL. COURT.
sEFoRE JUDGE srRoUT.


In the case of Peterson vs. Pride, an
action for damages caused by coal dust
from defendants coal shed. the testimony
for plaintiff was concluded about the
middle of the forenoon. Judge Robinson
then opened for the defense. He said that
they should claim that while the coal
shed might have caused plaintiff some in
convenience, yet it occasioned no tangi-
BILE injury to his property, and no real
physical discomfort to his family, such as
would amount in law to nuisance; and
that o large proportion of the deposit
complained of by plaintiff came from the
locomotives. twenty-five Witness were
sworn for the defense. The defendant
testified that the shed was double boarded
at the end, and that he told Peterson if
he was troubled with the coal dust he
would double board the sides also, and
that Peterson n lever made any complaint
to him after the shed was built. He was
there most every time when coal was
being unloaded, and never observed any
dust rising out of the shed, On the first
occasion of unloading coal, when some of
plaintiffs witnesses testified that dust
came out in such quantities as to obscure
the moon, he said very little arose from
the shed for the reason that it was not
then completed. The case will probably
not be hnishedsuntil Thursday morning.
