many of the people of fit. John’s, in
this State, where licr family live, have
received printed copies of what was
'termed a contract, civil ami conjugal,
entered into recently between Miss
Strickland and Leo Miller, the well I
known Buffalo spiritualist.
THE CONTRACT. ,
It begins, “The undersigned, this ’

THIS REMARKABLE HOC!'VENT
'concludes with the declaration that

Miss Strickland has also addressed

which, she says, rests only on the
principle of master and slave.

The Lover’s Mnuiii.
A JILTED BRIDEOROOAI TAKES TO HIS BED
VOli THIRTY-SIX YEARS.
From 111*' Troy, (N. Y.) Press, Nov. 18.
It is an old saying that one half of
tho world is not aware how the otln r
half lives. This saying which is both
old and common, may bo fully illus
trated in tho life and death of Eph
raim Canton, who died in a town not
twenty rnilos from West Troy, on last
Sunday evening. At tho time of his
death Mr. Canton was 58 years old,
and for tho last i)(! yt ars of his life,
never saw but four human beings,
and during the same period never set
! his eyes on sun, moon, stars, or the
j bright, arching heavens. Neither did
j he sea the hills, valleys or forests of
: his native country. He did not hear
j of the groat civil war that came so
in ar destroying the groat model re
! public of the world. 11c died in ig
] noranco of tho emancipation of the
! negroes, and never heard of any of
th.. great questions that troubled the
public mind during that period of
: time. Iu tho month of January, 1835,
j Ephraim Canton, then a young man
i about 21 years old, formed tho ac
quaintance of a young lady of rare
accomplishments and beauty ia Ce
j hoes, and imn dliately became nit
ten with her beauty, and prop. .;• -.1
for her hand in mavrige. The Inly
at first seemed fnvnre.bb to , - *:r
and gave him sufficient crn'cnr-ige- i
inent to insure success, and iin-Vy
promised to become jiis w : f.->. The
day that tho ceremony of t-hc : •:
| age was to take place was up;
which was to Lc on tho 20th of May, !
lfvjfi. Early o.i the nioruim; of that
day Mr. Canton, acoonq.ar.i'.d by:
a -ill of Ids friends, set out from hi:;
. native village in. tho direction el Co- j
; Inv.'.!, with Ihc intention of gifting:
married and bringing back his bloom- ’
l ing wife to his homo in the country
village where ho washing ri g- rdefi
by tlie fair sex as tho beau ideal of ft
, young man. Wh.-u lh< party r* .me
ed the hotne of liis affianced, they
wt re astoni -:: .t l at i< eing no prej a
r.irioi: ; made for tin ir reception, and .
Mr. Canton inquired the cause of his
j mothrr-in-law that was to be. ’That.
I lady informed him that on the night
previous her daughter, his expected
1 wife, departed jot tho city of New
I York, making no excuse for her dc-j
* part-urn, but left a note for bin whi< li j
read as f. bows:
Mr. Cbanton: • In consequence of
•-:f • d..mrging to your eliaracter, j
that : si I, I hereby c ii,( el my
: cngageiec'i- to hi come your wif-.s, and
jat th ■ came time reipn t y ■ to hn-
I got in a :i-i soon as possibl-.'. With j
j my Lest wishes for your future wel-,
| fare, 1 remain yours, etc.
i . * E;.i;i,y.
The disappointed groom made the I
j best of the inevitable for the time be
-1 ing, making some excuse wliy tho cer
; cmonv could not come off that day. |
They ull returned homo, and Mr. Can
ton's mother, hearing of the disap-1
■ poiutment, sympathized with her sol, j
and advised him to go to bed and
sleep off" the effects of it, and when he j
got up in the morning he would feel I
better. The humiliated son took her J
advice and retired to his room, taking !
j with him some carpenter's tools that *
he possessed. He carefully locked j
| his bed room door as soon as he had
* entered it, and then commenced
|to cat a small one foot square j
window through the wooden :
partition that divided his bed room
from the parlor. Ho then fixod his
bed so he could reacli the window
with his hand without leaving the
bed, and then called his mother and
told her to pass bis food through that
window to him, to admit no visitors
to see him, and finally if she know
what was safe not to make any effort
to enter the room herself. Notwith-1
; standing this warning, she was nearly
every hour of the following days Leg .
| giug of her son to get up, but it was !
|of no avail. Mho then thought to |
i starve him out, and refrained from j
i giving him food for thirty-six hours, j
* but that had no effect, and finally she j
| fient for a neighboring man, and wit’ll 1
I hia assistance broke in tho bed room
door and entered. But the son was i
still refractory and refused to speak
to any person, and nil the efforts
! made and inducement.': off red could I
| not prevail oh him to speak one word!
ior iouvo the bed. Wo have not lime j
! nor space to mention nil the ruses |
i that were nutdo to get him to leave
the room, all of which failed, and to
make a long story short, he never left
his bed room from that May morning
j iu 1886 until ho was taken from it for
[his coffin on last Sunday afternoon.
1 During tho tliirty-six years that lie
1 remained in bed lie never spoke to
| but four men and his mother, and
: never inquired for anyone or anything !
jin the outside world. His life is
; .shrouded in mystery, and probably
will remain so. He lost Lis reason
; when he lorn, his bride.

A singular case is reported from
j Brooklyn. A woman was badly fright
ened by a cat some time previous to the
birth of her child. That child proved
to he a gill, and is now eighteen years
of ago and married. During her girl
hood she gave no evidence of being
affected be her mother’s friglit except
ing indeed, a propensity to chase
mice and occasionally to sit on the
backyard fence and howl a little on
moonlight nights: but strange to re
late, since the birth of her ow n baby
she always lifts it out of the crib
by tho back of its neck with her I
teeth,

How Womi:.*;.as to Gc ■ Mau.-'ri*.—
jln most countries on the other side
! it is the general rule for tho family to j
pul by something every year, perhaps!
half the income, for the future cstab-,
lishinent of the children, and partial- j
i larly tho girls, who as such aro less!
j capable of making their way than:
i their brothers, lit-ve, we know, as a '
! rule, the parents improvideally live
jup to their income, bring up their
1 children iu luxurious habits, and thus
unfit them for that life of trials, to
which they are destined. They are,
in a word, softened instead of harden
ed. A common reply of the head of
the family to the suggestion that the
future of the children should be look
ed at is that they will begin lifo un
j der the same circumstances us he di<*.
—that is, with nothing- forgetting
; that the conditions of life are cluing-,
1 ed, and that it is now M p sil le •. r
1 them to live as he once did. if a
helping hand is given, singular to say, j
|it is often or to the man than to tho
i woman, either iu being admitted to
the business of the father or beiug :
1 started on hi.' own account. Tho sis- i
I ter must look out for herself. If she
I he handsome and attractive, she may j
find a husband. If Mm bo plain, the;
! * haniai; aro that she v. ill remain a 1
' spinster. Now, it is the experience of.
the ne was the o l v rid that a,m rr-;
Iriage settlement does ficiiiato the*

j beauty are only for the favored men; I
in other words, all men cannot marry!

marry an Antiuous. lew prop ably
marry their beau ideal in either sex.
Many longing women wait in vain for
Almavivu with his guitar and moon

for her “who was created for them.”
Hence the need of philosophy. The
man must make his nest with what, he |
has in Lund. The age is unpootioand
unheroic; he must count the costs of j
the mutnmoniui venture if he be an !
honest, orderly man, desiring to ] ay i
his way, and if ho cannot get tho [

To save is absolutely the only way

will be forever poor, and for their ob

j life exhibits so general an exception, j
1 While wo liavo had instances of Self-1
! inflicted death among lawyers, bank- >
: era and mechanics, such a case never j
i occurred among the journalists of this j
j city. One may reasonably inquire j
j what is the cause of this exemption?
I They labor intensely and generally •
j ill-paid, and they have a full share |
of life’s hardships, which they endure j
till their charge comes in course of j
nature. I can give no other reason j
for this except that the profession is i
constantly busy, and works with an
j approval of conscience, since its labors
a. u for the public weal. Editors in
fact are so occupied with range of
thought, embracing public interest
that they have little time to think
about themselves. Walter Scott
made the remark after ho reached
bankruptcy that nothing saved him
from insanity but his habits of writ
ing. His mind was thus led away
from the contemplation of his miser
ies. Journalists aro so engaged iu
chronicling tho woes of others that
they lose sight of their own.
Ex-Speaker Blaine as a Presidential
candidate does not like the idea of
the third term people getting ahead
of him on any of the popular issues.
Mr. Blaine is now out with a proposi
tion which lie says will settle tho pub
lic school agitation for all time. Ho
proposes the following as a constitu
tional amendment: “No State shall
make any law respecting an establish
ment of religion or prohibiting the
free exercise thereof; aud no money
raised by taxation in any State for
the support of public schools, or de
rived from any public fund therefor,
shall ever be under the control oi any
religious sect, nor shall any money so
raised ever Le divided between I'elig
