had a hard time of it, for even his visits
and his letters were intercepted. But
love is miraculously ingenious, and in
spite of all he succeeded in occa
sionally seeing her and writing her as
well. After a long tour Fred Berger
and his sister, Anna Teresa, arrived in
this city a little over a week ago. Lynch
was in Chicago. He saw her. He wooed
and finally won. On Tuesday afternoon
Anna Berger left the hotel in a carriage.
At Dean’s, on Broadway, she met Mr.
Lynch, a inutuai friend was sought,
and the three got into the carriage and
drove down Seventeenth street to Sec-
, aveDUe i al'ghtine at the house of
the Rev. Mr. Goodsell. In ten minutes
he made them one. In her little jacket
and plain summer dress few brides can
look prettier than did Miss Berger, and
few brides went more bravely through
an ordeal which, in this case, required
an extra amount of courage. The par
ties then drove to their new residence,
on Twenty-ninth street. Mrs. Lynch
leaves the stage henceforth, and she
not only leaves the stage, but she makes
no demand whatever on her family for
the amount she has earned aB a mem
ber of the Bergers. This course was the
advice of her husband, who said that
ntnerwise people might say he married
her for money.

Herearefour of our Protestant.min-
isters remaining at their posts of duty
in the midst of dangerous sickness and
almost certain death, exposing their
lives for the Master’s sake. We who
are here feel os thousands of others do,
that it is the duty of preachers to re
main with their people while the great
destroyer is reaping his harvest, that-
the faith which they preach must he
illustrated by their works. These min
isters are preaching more effectually by
imperilling iheir lives than they ever
can do by sermons from the pulpit.
We hope their respective denominations
will do them especial honor, not alone
for their sakes, but that they may by
their action deepen the conviction 1 that
when a preacher takes charge of a
church he takes it as a man takes his
wife, to stand by it through prosperity
and adversity, and to be more than
usually attentive when pestilence walk-
eth in darkness and destruction wasteth
at noonday. It is not to be expected
that ecclesiastical bodies will undertake
to enact laws compelling ministers to
remain in cities stricken as this one is,
hut by doing honor to men who are
faithful in times of so much danger,
they can impress on ministers the fact
that the cause they advocate receives
greater injury from an exhibition of
fear on their part or haste to place them
selves beyond the reaoh of dangerous
sickness, than it can possibly receive
from all the assaults of its opponents,
u the poor cannot have the consolations
ol religion at a time when they need
inem most, our professions are of little
value, We do not write this to detract
w j er ministers, if any are here.
»e do not with to say a word .ai
! ® ministers who decided that it was
cost for them to retire in the face of ap-
proaching danger. We do not wish to
array one denomination against anoth-
«» tu. n T’;—against anoth-
J' ., e Catholic clergy are all here,

that the Queen of Hearts is dead. This
serious calamity occurred last week in
Vienna, where her Majesty had resided
for three quarters of a century in: the
enjoyment of a revenue suitable to her
regal dignity. She was believed to
have attained the age of a hundred, to
which, iL(leed, she was lately wont to
lay claim with an authority that none
of her courtiers ventured to dispute; but,
as a matter of faot, she expired upon
her seventy-sixth birthday. Gifted
with the faculty of prescience, intimate
ly acquainted with the most recondite
capacities for interviewing destiny of
every member of the pack, from her
own illustrious consort down to the
humble jBlack Deuce, deeply learned
in the lore of the prophetic lines traced
by the graver of Fate upon human
hands and feet, this royal lady devoted
her days to the unraveling of the tan
gled secrets of the future, charging
those whose curiosity prompted them
to pry into the regions of the unknown
" per revelation. As many of the
lidg ladies 6f the Austrian aristocra
cy were among her clients, the accuracy
of her forecasts having earned for her
a -mighty reputation throughout the
realms of thV Hapsburg, she contrived
to amass a handsome fortune, which,
she has loft to her only daughter, al
though th6 Princess had grievously of-
fehded her by contracting a mesalliance
with a master butcher of the Kaiser-
stadt. The deceased “Herz-Dame” was
a person or extrordinary acumen, and a
physiognomist of the highest order. Her
sources of private information were nu
merous, and their ramifications are be
lieved to have permeated every class of
Austrian society. She has passed away
at a ripe old age, and her place in the
foretune-telling pack knows her no
more.
New York Times.
Women both young and old who have
no husbands, near kinsmen or friends
whom they feel privileged to ask to be
come their escorts in going out after
night fall, are now provided for, as is
well known, by a company in the city
10 a manner entirely satisfactory.
A lone woman, possessing a little money,
need no longer be deprived of the
pleasure of attending parties, dinners,
or any other form of social or profes
sional entertainments. She can inform
the company that on any named even
ing she wishes to go to the house of a
friend, to the theater, to the opera, a
lecture, or any place Of business or
amusement, and at the required hour
a well behaved, intelligent, well dressed
man will appear at he>- door and act as
her escort. He will accompany her to
the place, and call for her at any time
she names; or, if required, will sit by
her side—as at the theater, opera, or
concert—during the performance, and
take her home afterward. To others
than horrolf he seems to be her friend,
though it may be observed that they are
on freezingly polite terms, as no well-
bred woman would, under the circum
stances, be very likely to keep up a
very active conversation with a man
acting in the capacity of a servant,
though under a plausible disguise. It
might be thought that there would be
very little demand for escorts of this
sort, but we are informed to the contra
ry. Women—strangers in the city—
who want tp attend the theater or opera,
frequently secure such service; so do
widows, maidens, and other women un
willing to put themselves under obliga
tion to any man on whom they have no
claim.
Right Time to Operate in Stocks
By recent communication with prorai

is a favorable time to take advantage of
the stock market, by the new combina

been so remarkably successful hereto
fore, , - This system ie founded on correct
rules of finance and universally ap
proved by the shrewdest operators,
The orders of thousands of customers
are massed into one immense capital
and, operated as a great whole, dividing
profits pro rate every month. In this
way any customer can invest form $10
to 810,000 with equal proportionate suc
cess, and at the same time gain all the
advantages of largest capital and best
skill in manipulating the market. This
firm’s npw circular has “two unerring
rules of success” and full explanations.

On the proposed Florida Bhip canal
the St. Augustine Press writes: “The

would be almost impossible to compute.
Of its practicability as a ship canal of

A Remarkable Letter from J. A. Tucker,
Esq , manufacturer of the Bay
State Superphosphate.
Messrs. Weeks and Potteri OsnUemsn — I
think I have paid lor medicines and raediosl
treatment during tho last twenty years a'l of
three thousand dollars, without rocolvlng any
permanent relief.
Last May, while taking a Turkish bath at 17
Beaoon 8t, a young man employed there by the
name of Wm. Corbett induced mo to allow him
to apply a preparation that he had upon wo,
assuring me that It was perfectly harmless, and
for a certain consideration he wontd cure me
within thirty days from the time he eommenoed.

An extraordinary scene was witnessed
on the Dee in England a few a days ago.
A storm washed a quantity of poison
ous liquids from Pickhill Brooks,
which drains several lime and lead
works into the Dee, and the fish imme
diately began to sioken and die. They
hastened to escape the poisonous water,
and came floating down the river in
thousands. Some were dead, and others
were hurriedly rushing down Btream to
escape out to sea. At the causeway be
side the old Dee mill a large crowd had
congregated to see salmon and salmon
trout, pike, roach and bream frantically
endeavoring to throw themselves over.
Hundreds of men and boys lined the
river, busily engaged in killing fish, and
several were caught. A boy secured a
large salmon by the tail, ana the mon
ster would have dragged him into the
water had he not relaxed his hold. It
is believed that the river has been clear
ed of fish for fourteen miles up.
The French Chamber of Deputies
