MARRIED HIS LEADING LADY.
Nat Good win, the Actor, Makes His
"Third Wentur."

CLEVELAND, O., Feb. 2i-Nat Goodwin,
the actor, and Maxine Elliott, his leading
lady. were married at the Holenden here on
Sunday morning. When Goodwin was in
Chicago, three weeks ago, he received notice
that the court at New York had rendered q
decree in the divorce OF Nellie II. Goodwin
against Nat Goodwin, by which she was re-
stored to her maiden name and given the
privilege Of remarriage. He, however,
was especially prohibited from marrying
during the lifo OF his former wife. This
decree, however. is only legally operative
in New York. Goodwins wife was Eliza
Weathersbee, the well-known English actress
who came over first with Lydia Thompson.
She was much older than Goodwin, who
was then young fellow giving i'm
presentations. She died some years
since, and Goodwin's second wife pro-
cured a divorce for incontlnence and
extreme cruelty. Goodwin is AZ years old
and one OF the best OF actors, but, II all re-
ports are true, his private life could hardly
be held up for the emulation Of youth.

From The Louisville Dispatch.l STRANGE MONEY IN THE
 MOUNTAINS.

"The strangest money ever saw" said a drummer for a Main-st. house the other evening, twas in the mountain districts of Kentucky and West Virginia. Last sum- mer was making my semi-annual tour through this district and stopped one day at a little grocery and saloon, not to sell goods but to get drink of the "mountain dew" While I was pouring out my drink a big husky mountaineer entered the place and called for a drink. As he finished gulping it down he reached into big bull ky pocket and drew forth what looked to counter, the barkeeper took the skin and, opening drawer, hauled out rabbit skin, which I suppose was the change. The mountaineer picked up the rabbit skin and started for the front part of the store, which was the grocery. He there bought twist in payment.
 He received a big twist of long green, and I was surprised to see the store-keeper reach in another drawer and tender him 8 squirrel skin. The mountaineer tucked the squirrel skin in his pocket, walked out unhitched his horse and rode away.
 ''I became interested and engaged the proprietor in conversation. He told me that sometimes he would go months with out seeing any real money, and that the mountaineers used the skins in all kinds of trades, such as buying horses, etc, He said that four times a year hide buyer from Lexington or CincinnatH visited the
 country and bought up all the skins which were generally concentrated in tht few stores in the vicinity"

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four hours :; a sediment o1 settling indicates an un- healthy condition of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate, or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order.
 WHAT TO DO.
 There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great. idney remedy, fulfils every wish relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inabil- ity to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp Root is soon realized. Ii stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases.

These Indians were all members of the fore she was married they wanted her to confess Christ in baptism. So they talked together a few minutes, and the inter- preter announced to me the matter in de- bate, and their desire to have her bap- tized before she was married. I asked if she was willing to confess Christ ln bap- tism, and he said she was. So she was baptized. Now they were ready to be welded, and welded they were. In view of the fact that it was near night, and they had been waiting long, and had some ways to go, my wife had prepared lunch and they were invited to partake. We gathered around the table, but the bride had gone out to the wagon with her little boy, and could not be persuaded to sit with us at the table. We took the lunch to her, and she ate and fed her child. Tiwaste promised me three dollar fee for the service, and would give it to me later on, some day when he would be in town. l assured him he need not trouble himself about it, but he persisted in his promise.
 Some weeks later Samuel called at the parsonage, and supposed to give me the promised fee; but instead of that he plead great poverty-no four, nothing to eat, hungry-wanted me to give him some money to buy flour, and that is the last have seen of him. 1 learn that "Sam," az he is called about town, is wiley fel- low, though Christian and member of | the Presbyterian church. But, then, | some white men are good deal like him. These Indians came to me because they had no pastor at the time. Rev. MT. Hopkins, an Indian, and long time their pastor, and a man highly esteemed by all the white people for his many excellen. cies, had been given another charge and was away for year. When he came back to his old field met him one day ir ding and the baptism of his wife. He wished to know what her name was. told him it was Tiwaste, supposed, knew of no other. He made me under. stand, however, that a Christian name was given to an Indian in baptism, a what name did I give her? We'll, haC not given her any, and so told him; but
 he insisted that should, and so I saie | call her Hannah. He said that would do and so suppose the church records have it Samuel Tiwaste and Hannah, his wife instead of that long Indian name she bor, in her heather state. These Indian wo
