A STRIN6E DEATH.
A Woman Attacked and Wounded
by Grasshoppers.
TBS CORONER
Has her body. She died night afore last.
A visit to the coroner merely revealed the
fact that her death was unquestionably tbe
resalt of hardships. A letter in one of her
pocket from her sister, was addressed to Mrs.
8. Nvde, and advised her to apply for assist
ance to relatives in Celle, a small village near
Portland, Maine. Beyond what has bsen nar
rated the life of the woman is still a mystery.
And now » few words abou
THE BRUlE’a PRESENTS.
They were, by actpal count 1,810 in number,
end tbe greater part of them, I noticed, took
the form of either gold or ^diamonds. The
mother’s gift was a dinner set ot 380 pieces,
of solid gold. Each piece beam the mono
gram of Cabral and Throckmorton, in dia
monds. . Tho oost of This pmef of maternal
affection was something over $1,000,0(10 in
sold. In addition, Miae. Cabral gladdened
the bride's heart with L000 yards of point
lace: 365 morning, afternoon and evening cos
tumes, one for each social division of every
day in the year; and, to crown all, a certificate
of deposit/issued by the Rank of England—
England being the objective point of the
bridal tour—for £1,000,000. Dots this last
item ae«m the very apotheosis of prodi
gality? It does so until yon hear what
the father did for his darliug, and then it
takes a subordinate position. He gave her
title-deeds of a magnificent town and country-
house in all tbe leading capitals of the world
and the more famous watering-places. These
man; mansions are thoroughly famished,
sod in each—at fa tender reminder to Malia
of her maidenhood—there is an apartment
that exactly corresponds in furniture and
adornments to her own room at her fatbei’a
house. Not contenting himself with this dis
play of his bounty Cabral presented her
with as fine a steamship as could be built on
the Clyde, with full complement of sailors un
der contract for ten years service, and with
salaries paid in advance lor the full term; one
dozen milk white Arabian horses, and—this
as a joke—1,000 pounds of caramels, a con
fection for which the birds is said to have a
profound liking. But his orowDing gift, was
a neoklaoe that dwarves to rank among the
enumerated.

THE WEALTHIEST MAH ON TKR OLOBR..
He was lately asked by an intimate friend,
in my presence, it he hod any conception of
tha aam total of hi* poeeeasiona. Ha meditated
for a moment, and tnen quietly replied: “I
could not swear that I am not worth—presum
ing that I oonld realize on all my property—
$50,$00,000 " He made this astounding ex-
nrbit with perfect sangfroid, but I must con-
tees that aa he spoke i felt something very
like pity lor Mm. 1 oonld not but think how
specially difficult it might be for him to satis
factorily roIvb tbe problem of the oamel and
the needle's eye.
I woold not have devoted so much space to
tbe father of tbe bride of this evening, were it
not for the foot that otherwise the account
that followed the wedding might be received
with incredulity. Tho bridegroom, young
Throckmorton, u descended from one of the
oldest and wealthiest families of the "blue
grass country,” as he loves lo call it. He
came to Brazil with a matter of $500,000 in his
own right, and has since prospered famously,
so tbs', to-day he rranot be worth less than
$8,096,000. BUffifkfor pittanoe in compari
son with his fcthor in-law’s overwhelm)ugly
gigantic fortune, yet still quite sufficient to
relieve him from the imputation of marrying
the lair D-uiua Maria Cabral for monay. He
mql htr first a year agp at a bill at Pernam
buco, and the result was a case of love at first
sight on both their parts, at least so “they
say." They make an exceedingly prepossessing
couple- he tall, Droad-sbonhlered, yellow ol
hair and moustache, and :,he a liny, graceful,
lovely-faced brunette.
And now if 1 but had Uie pen of a ready
writer to describe lo yon in fitting terms the
unqualified and
1MM LASH RARER POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE
ol their wedding. But alas, 1 oannot, and ae
1 cast about for a beginning of my narrative
I am much embarrassed with the riches that
waits to be treated of. There were the invi
tations, for instance. They were written on
perebment by artistic hands, in quaint text,
exquisitely illuminated. Instead of being in-
oioHed in paper envelope. they were sent to tbe
favored recipients each in a dainty box of
sandal,vuod. These boxes, 1,000 in number,
were manufactured to order expressly for this
wedding at < ion ton Each one of them was
tarnished with a lock and key of solid gold,
was exquisitely carved with Cupids, and hearts
and other designs appropriate to tbe occasion,
and coat $150. My own invitation lies beside
me aa I write, and I uvtoh the delicate soent
of tbe sandal.
The rwudeito* of the Great Diamond King,
at which the wedding took place, ie situated a
little over Mr a mile from DmmonttBa, which
ia, yon know, the chief (own of the diamond
district. I may attempt to describe its mag

He was bafflied in hia attempt, however,
much to his disappointment. Bat after ten
years of nnremitting hunting, heyit last got to
gether thirty of toe largest and purest dia
monds in the world, no one of which was much
inferior to the Pitt gem. Taking these to
Amsterdam, he summoned tbe best talent
in that city, furaooa far its diamond-cutters,
and stated what he desired- which was
that each one of the thirty stones should
have a fantastic face npon it.
Amsterdam at first said that the task
was more than heronlean,—that it waa im
possible. But when Cebral stated the stupen
dous sum he was willing to pay for the fulfill
ment of hi* wishes, ;Ameterdam reconsid
ered, and consented to do Us best, ft did its
liest fur five years, day and night, and the re
salt was that a week before the wedding, the
diamonds, cut, carved, set on a golden string
aod already to embraoe the snowy neck of the
bride, were piaoed in the hands of tbe jubi
lant Cabral. I happened to be present when
Malia first was shown the necklace, a couple
of days before she was married. .She wore a
blaok oilk at the time, and. her father, after
throwing it, contrasted so strongly with the
color of the dress, over her head, stepped
back a few paces to notioe the effeet. Having
gazed at the flashing necklace iur a minute ur
so be suddenly broke into ■ loud laugh and
cried out merrily, "My dear, .n my life you’d
do for the
HEAD-LIOBT CF A LOCOMOTIVE."
This ntcklace cost De Souza Cabral, stones,
cutting, and carving, $116,000,880.8$ Ca
ll ra l showed me the receipts yesterday, so that
1 am able to state the exact agares. And yet
this doting father, in naming the cost to me,
added that he would willingly have paid what
ha did twice over rather than have missed his
aim, or been able to give his darting the wed
ding present be designed for her while yet
she was in bar cradle. There you have the
man in his unbounded expenditure of money
to obtain his ends, and in his absorbing love
for bis daughter.
You must not expect from me any descrip
tion of the ornate and bewildering toilets
worn at tbe wedding—no, not even of the
brido’s rase raiment. I do not understand
snob matters, and, venturing to di-course
concerning them, likely enough I should call
lace gimp, and peasant-waists polonaise..
Let me briefly state that, so far as I coulrl
judge, the great heiress was married in clothes
befitting her position. I am indebted to a la
dy guest for the information that her dress
wee of point lace, flounced, or rather gar
landed, to the wa'uft witli strings of seed pearls
with the voluminous train edged with a fila
gree of gold thickly set with diamonds. Her
neck, wta circled by her father's wondertnl
offering, besides which there were diamonds
banded on her bair and in bracelets on her
wrists. She was certainly
THE MOST BLAZING BEAUTY
1 ever gazed upon.
Tbeie was one feature of the wedding ar
rangements which struck me might better
have been omitted entirely, or, at least, very
materially modified, bat which, nevertheless,
in the mock it made of expense, was quite in
keeping with the other features. I allude to
the phenomenally hospitable provision mado
for the hackmon who drove the gueeta to and
trom the festivities. On the velvet lawn, just
outside the Cabral mansion, a dozen or more
exquisite Sevres vases (corresponding in size
and ebape to an American peach basket,)
were set, each one of which were heaped to
the brim with the gold ooin of the country.
The dnvars, a* they dropped their toads of
yctrfft, beauty, and fashion, had their atten-
She Dies as the Result op Heb
Sufferings.
A repreeeutative of Chicago Post and Mail
fonnd at the Rock Island Railroad depot in
that city, a day or two ago, a woman who told
a singular stoxy, which is appended:
The cheeks of the woman were hollow, and
with queer little red marks or scars npon them
and upon her neck. The eyes were sunken
and the mouth was warped by suffering and
grief into a most pitiable expression.
"They have turned me out of this tavern,”
she answered, “because I’ve no money. I
reached here from Kansas this afternoon,
friendless, homeless, moneyless. When the
people in there found this out, they shoved
me out here. God help me ! I’ve no place
to go t” She began to cry again, and to cough,
and to sway ber body to and iro, in her
agony.
The reporter suggested that she could not
expect to travel and eat and find lodgings
without money; that such was not the way of
the world now-a-ilaya.
"I know it!” she said. “Bat what can I do?
My husband and my boy are dead, an' the
grasshoppers took what the dead lett me.
Charity”—she spoke the word with a startling
bitterness of tone—“cbarityjbrought me here,
and I have hoped and prayed that it would
lost long enough to toko me back to Maine,
where I coaid die in peace with a few friendly
faces around me. But
1 SEEM LILELY TO PERISH
in the gutter for all the help I oan get in this
town.” Thereupon she began to lament more
bitterly than ever.
It was tbe work of a few minutes only, and
at the cost of a few oents, that a room in a de
cent lodging house was obtained, the woman
aDd her baggage was conveyed to it, and a
good meal given her. Her grace after meat
was:
“May God bless yon according to my pray
ers, young man 1” she said heartily her meal
being finished. “It don't amonnt to much,
and never did 'cept in tbe heart-ways, and to
those dead and gone before me; bat I shall
allnsremember too as an angel in trowsers.
It s country not city ways as you’ve shown me.
In tbe State where I come from people knows
what grasshoppers mean, and they passed me
along as if I were a lady, because the hoppers
had ruined me.”
“AND THE ORASSHOPPEBS,
were they bad where you lived 7“ asked the re
porter modestly inclining to change the con
versation from himself as a subject.
“Bad ?" repeated the woman. Awful, hor
rible bad! They were thicker'n snow and
wnss nor skeeters. Now when Luke died(Luke
was my husband and died last spring, sir,) he
left me a Bnug forty acre farm in Neroeha
county, covered with wheat, corn,taters, with
small stuff of other kinds mixed in. Tbe
neighbors jined in and helped me, one 'n'other
and I thought I d enough promised from the
farm to carry me through tho winter. I thought
so, I say. But the Lord loved me; an' afflict

THE AIR SEEMED FULL
OCCIDENT S LATE VICTORY.
THE GREAT TROTTING BACK AT HAS FBANCMCO
NOV. 23-TIME, 2:19, 2:25, and 2:20£.
[From tbe San Francieco Alta, Not. 29.]
Tbe great trotting race at the Bay District
Fair Grounds, between Occident, Fullerton,
and Chioago, yesterday afternoon, came off,
and tho result was generally satisfactory. The
Eastern horse, Chicago was withdrawn on Fri
day night. Fullerton sold at heavy odds. In
the first pools Fullerton brought $210 to $145
on Occident, and, m many instances, tbe pro
portion infavor of the former was increased.
The Pans Mutuals onithe first pool stood: Ful
lerton, $242; Occident $194, making a total of
$2,180 4 in the pool. The pool-selling was not
very animated, and it was not until after Oc
cident won the first heat that his friends began
to brighten up.
FntsT Heat.—After scoring five times the
word vas given, with Occident on the innide
and about a half length behind Fallerton, who
had in each previous scoring showed at the
wire three lengths ahead. Hiokok had Fal
lerton nnder a bard pall whea the bell tapped
but oased his pull round the turn, and led Oc
cident to the quarter in thirty-six seconds.
Down the backstrotch Fallerton drew away
somewhat, and reached the half mile in
l:I0i at which point he was six open lengths
ahead. Doble, whose judgment of horses and
their cbancos to wio is now unequal by any
in his profession, was acting with tbe same
apparent caution that characterized his per
formanoe with Occident in his first engage
ment against F dlerton, and in which he
proved the victor on the 31st nit. He knew
his horse was nervous, and for that reason he
waited patiently until entering the straight
work, where Occident a la Goldsmith, had
before carried him home tbe winner. When
tbe horses had reached the crowd, which had
extended more than half-way down the s'.retch
Occident had gained several lengths, and was
drawing on to Fallerton so rapidly that his
friends conld no longer restrain their enthus
iasm, and the applause that rung out from
every voice as he swiltly flew up the stietch
plainly told of his wonderful speed, and his
rapid approach to the goal. Orin waa sur
prised, aa he evidently thought he bad things
all his own way, and when collared by the
little brown horse, be drew his whip on the
Judge, and probably gave him aa severe a
aentence as is provided in such case. When
the horses crossed the score, Occident wbr at
Lis ease, and a half length a head o! Fallerton
—who was being severely punished at that
distance behind—in 2:10.
Second Heat.—While the horses were be
ing cooled out for this heat, they were also
sold in pools freely at $210 for the little
horse against $100 for Judge Fullerton.
When the i owes were sent off for the heat,
Fallerton was a half length in the advance,
which advantage he sought to improve by
pressing Occident very elo.-ely to the fence on
the first turn. Bat just as be began to press
him to an advantage for himself, when Doble
found himself cornered, fortunately for him
Fullerton made a bad stumble, and lost the
very unfair advamage which bo had so dar-
ingly gained, and it is doubtful, if he had
succeeded ia the attempted sharp practice for
tho heat, whether it would have been given to
him, as the trick was too plain to escape ob
servation by the judges. Fallerton fell far
back before regaining his feet, but when he
struck his trot, he, tor the first time, showed
the speed of which he seemed so capable be
fore the staTt of the race. Doble, seeing
Hickok s grand failure, and the consequent
disaster to Fullerton, showed good horse sense
by letting Occident take it easy to the home
run, where he has so often, when necessary,
dis 4 inguished himselt At thediatanoestand

of snowflakes—snowflgk«8 in summer, mind j Fullerton had worked his way within three
lengths of the little wonder, who was now
tion called to the currency in tbe vascs, and
cordially invited to help themselves ad
Wnlum. As often as the vasea were emptied
they were replenished by servants detailed for
that sole purpose. One of the hack tnen re
sponded so heartily to tha invitation, that
when the time came for him to drive back U
town, he was forced to request bis two passen
gers to favor Uira by taking a seat on tk*
box. He explained, not without blushes
you. And there was a low, humming sound, 1
like as if a great wind was coming up. Then,
suddenly, suthin hit me once, twice, three
times, ten times m the face, and I saw on my
dress and on the ground and in tho house,the
filthy, hungry grasshoppers. I’d read about
thoir being in Minnesota and Nebrasker, and
now they were at my door. A half a mile away
they was a comin, like a white wall, turning,
and tumbling aud buzzing, 1 was afeard, be
ing ail alooe, with no o:.e to see or talk to. I
saw my wheat go down before them, and it
went mighty fast. Tbe ground seemed just
moving np and down^nd the sun was nowhar.
The hoppers hid it I shut tbe doors and
winders as soon as I could. Then the cattle
began to moan at the barn, and I went out to
shut ’em up. ’Fere 1 got there the hoppexa
caught me. They come down like bees, and
got into my ears and into my dress and down
my neck. I yelled, and brushed and fought,
I started to run, and fell down. They lit on
me by the thousands and the millions, and
began to eat me. They almost smothered me
with their weight and thickness on my faco. I
couldn’t brush ’em away as fast as they lit I
tough t *6iu as I have fought snakes.
I ROLLED OVER,
and over, but they were alius uppermost and
a million to one woman. There wasn't no
show for me, and I thought my time had come
sure, when they began to bite my checks, and
my ears and my hands. There’s the 6cars”—
touching her face and holding forth her hands
—“and I wonder that 1 ever came out alive.
Bot I did. I worked tny way back to the
house, and shat the doors tight Then tbe
critters c^me down tbe chimney and through
tbe chinks in the log cabin. They acted just
as if they were bound to make a meal of me.
Through tbe winder I saw the craps was going
down, and being stripped, and that even the
trees was losing their leaves. I had no one
to help me with a word of cheer; and if I had
It wouldn’t a done any good. The graves of
the dead ones were coveted with tbe squirming
varmints, aud the wiid rose-bushes I d plant
ed, and tended all the summer lost their
leaves in a minute, and the green grass on the
two monads was cut cleaner than with a
scythe.
“The dead couldn’t help me more’n the
livin’; bat I cried when I seed their graves
stripped of everything, an’ I was lonesomer
than ever.
“All gone! my livin’ for & year wiped out
in an hour, and no one to keep me alive even
for charity’s sake. I’ve got leelings, though
I’m an unedicated woman. I knew I’d have
to go somewhere—God only knew—an* leave
my farm an’ my graves an’ beg. I cried
worse than to-night when I thought of it.
’Taint everybody is as friendless os I am.
Well, I sat there for a long time— pr’aps for
an hour, an* pr’aps longer. Then the bites
hurt me so
x couldn’t bit still.
There was a horrible smell, too, from the in-
held by Doble’s tow-line, which was slacken
ed just enough to let him round to, on the
port side, in the repudiating time of 2:25,
which, although it does not look big in fig
ures, is not to be given as a check-murk
against the c:edit of the winner, as tbe track
was said to be not less that five seconds slow,
on account of the heavy rains that have re
cently fallen. Although it looked well, it was
heavy and soft.
Third and Last Heit.—When the horses
came up this time they were nearly even,
Fallerton having the advantage by a little.
When the horses were rounding the first turn
Hickok did not crowd the little horse as be
fore, but occupied himself by loud exclama
tions of “Ho-np.” How long this strange
noise was kept up is unknown. At the quar
ter-pole the horses were lapped, and just at
that exciting moment Ocoiaent gave a sudden
bound, as if startled by some unnsaal cause,
from which he lost his trot and his position
by some fonr or five lbLgthg, but Budd had
him well in hand. He was evidently on the
lookout for something ot the kind, and most
be&utifally did be land him on his feet trotting
like a 2:14 horse for a short distance. At tbe
half-mile pole Fullerton led by four open
lengths; with the little brown horse slowly
crawling np at ease, bat Doble did not care
to force tbe pace, and again he waited for what
is now known to be Occident’s favorite trot
ting gioand—i. e., the home stretch—which
was reached first by Fallerton, who was palled
well to tbe outside, where it was thought to
carry Occident, but Doble was not asleep; be
knew the wily tricks of his opponent, and
just when Hickok thought he had him out he
didn’t. Doble hud pulled to the inside, and
now he had Hickok and the Judge jnst where
he wanted them, and as they were under the
immediate view of tbe Judges, where they
dared not swerve nor foul, tho contest from
that point was fair, and Occident in his own
peculiar style, gave au exhibition of speed
that none but the Queen of tbe Turf can imi
tate. At the ontoome he was heartily cheered,
and crossed the score with an air of dignity
that none bat winners can have.
When tbe excitement had somewhat quieted
down, the judges announced the race and
first money to Occident in 2:20}; Fullerton
second, and second money.

The Romance of Miss Hbadixin.—I some
time ago mentioned a difficulty into which
Miss Braddon had fallen, and as there is no
secret about it here, I may aa well give yon
the bets. She has been living lor several years
with a sort of publisher, ns oust Marshall, as
his wife and has bad several children by him.
Marshall is one of the vestrymen of bis parish
Richmond, aud propably most of their neigh
bors never dreamed that their establishment
was not a legitimate one. Everything bad
gone on swimmingly with them for several
years, when suddenly, abont three month, ago,
among the deaths in tho Times, rep- atod three
days, was seen that of tbe wifo of Marshall
who it appeared died in Dublin. That there
might be do doubt of his identity, tbe place of
lira residence and the particular name of his
house were inserted in tho notice. Or course
the good people of Iiiohinond were terribly
sbooked by this expo-nre, and tho popular
authoress was given the cold abontderat once.
To make the matter worse, Miss Braddon had
a circular printed and sent to her acqnamt-
anoes, declaring ber iotrocenoe, and affirming
that she really believed herself Marshall's
wife, thnsintimating that the marriage cere
mony bad been performed, and virtually
aoensing Marshall of bigamy. But, of course,
everybody knows the real fsots.—Lomlaa
