Mr. Cleveland went to Babylon, L. 1.,
the other day on a fishing excursion. Col.

The Dramatic News announces that it
has been settled that Mrs. Leslie Carter, who
figured scandalously in a divorce case re
cently, will go on the stage next season.
The public will not hiss Mrs. Carter off the

it will let her play to empty seats.
The governor of Georgia and the governor
Of Tennessee have been making some re
marks to each other lately, and the gov
ernor of Georgia, as our dispatches stated
yesterday, threatens to tell exactly what
was said. lat him do so. It might furnish
a sensation for the tims between now and
the meeting of the legislature.
The picture which the Philadelphia
Times prints of Mr. William Waller Phelps
represents that gentleman as being quite
good looking. It greatly flatters Mr.
Phelps, who has a hgad like a hickory nut
and a countenance resembling Senator
Ingalls'. Mr. Phelps is not handsome. Not
even his fondest admirers claim that he is.
Ex-Congressman Campbell, of Ohio, does
not think that Foraker will be elected next
fall. This opiuiou may be due to the fact
that Mr. Campbell is a candidate for the
democratic gubernatorial nomination. If
any republican can carry Ohio next fall
Foraker can. Ohio republicans believe in
the bloody shirt, and it follows that they
believe in Foraker.
A 16-year old boy in New York is living,
although his neck is broken. The other
day he was diving into the river, when his
bead stru k bottom at a shallow point, and
his neck wa3 broken. He was taken to a
hospital, and the neck was put iuto a plas
ter cast. He is paralyzed below the neck,
but his physician says he may live somh
time. He suffered but little pain.
Baltimore needs better street car faeilitlw,
but some of the newspapers of that city
oeem to be afraid that- the croakers w*ii
keep it from getting them. This is too
bad; and yet there are croakers in every

some other places. It is said that every
thing was created for a good purpose, and
ever since that was said people have won
dered for what good purpose croakers were
created.
For the Benefit of Savannahlana.
Isn’t it 'Other remarkable that Chatham
eonctv is the only county in the state, in
which there is an important city, that is
without B * ‘no fence - ’ law? Fulton
county, in which Atlanta is situated, his
the “no fence” law, and so has Richmond,
in which Augusta is situated, Muscogee, in
which Columbus is situate-!, and Clarke, in
which Athens is situated. Chatham is be
hind all these counties in this important
matter. Why is this? Is it because
Chatham is less progressive than other
counties in which there are good sized
cities. It certainly looks so. If such is the
case, then it is time for Chatham county to
wake up and put herself in line with coun
ties which have the reputation for being
progressive.
In all the above mentioned cities the cost
of living is much less than in Savannah.
One of the reasons of this is that the greater
part of the eggs, butter, poultry, vegeta
ble#, fruits, etc., in the Savannah market
is brought from beyond the limits of Chat
ham county.
Butcannot Chatham county supply the
demands of the Savannah market for the
foregoing articles? Of course it can. There
are thousands of acres of good land in Chat
ham that are not cultivated because of the
necessity for fencing crops. It costs a great
deal to fence even a small farm, and for that
reason very few care to open farms on new
land.
If the “no fence” law is made operative
it will not be many years before all the good
lands for miles around Savannah will be
under cultivation.
A great many voters in this city think
they have no interests in the “no fence”
election. They don’t understand their own
iuterest, nor the interest of thsir city and
oounty. If they will give the election the
attention it deserves, they will discover
that they are very deeply interested in it.
There isn’t a citizen of Savannah whom the
“no fe..oe” law would not benefit.
That law, as already shown, will make
living m this city cheaper. That is a mat
ter of the greatest consideration to the great
majority of the people, of whom at least
two-thirds have to be very economical.
Their incomes compel them to be. If the
cost of living is reduced it will be iho same
to them as an increase in their incomes.
The “no fence” law will also be beneficial
to the health of the city. No oue will deny
that it is healthier where the land is culti
vated than where it is not. Notice what
the draining of the lands in the vicinity of
the city has done for the city’s health!
Does not everybody know that the city is
far healthier now than it was before any
drainage work was done? If a little drain
age has been productive of such good re
sults may we not reasonably expect even
greater benefits from the cultivation of the
greater part of the cultivable lands of the
county?
It is folly to cling to the law that requires
crops "to be fenced, because it means the
keeping of the country surrounding Savan
nah a wilderness for years. Atlanta,
Augusta, Columbus and Athens have rid
themselves of that law, and now they are
surrounded by orchards and farms which
pour food products into their markets, and
make the oost of living ia them at least a
third less than in Savannah.
Do the poor people of those cities who own
cows complain? Of course they don’t
They know that the “no fence” law is .bet
ter than the fence law for them, as it is for
everybody else. Let Savannah follow the
example of Augusta in the matter and she
will never regret having done so.
A Credulous Editor.
Mr. O. H. Rothaker, editor of the Omaha
Republican, does not believe that Dr.
Cronin is dead. In Kansas City a day or
two ago he said he was confident that
Cronin was alive and well, and that he
would “show up" in England before long.
Mr. Rothaker pretends to have some in
formation about this Cronin business that
no one else has. He ought to be summoned
before the Chicago grand jury and per
mitted to give his reasons for thinking
Cronin is alive. Indeed, if he believed
what be says it is prob tble that he would
not hesitate to go before the grand jury
without being summoned.
There 13 ground for suspecting that some
body has been imposing upon Mr. Rothaker,
or that he U trying to get himself before
the public. He is not at all averse to a little
notoriety. It is noticeable, however, that he
doesn’t express in bis own newspaper the
opinion that Dr. Cronin is not dead. He
thought it necessary to go to Kansas City
to relievo himself of his secret. Probably
he was afraid to express so ridiculous an
opinion in a town where he is generally
known.
There is no doubt that Dr. Cronin Is dead.
The body that was found in the manhole
not far from the house in which be was
murdered was recognized as his. Persons
who knew him well in life had no doubt
that the body found was his. Mr. Rothaker
says the body recognized as Dr. Cronin’s
was a “stiff” obtained from a medical col
lege, and that it was intended to lead those
who might search for Dr. Cronin away
from the latter’s true hiding place. If Mr.
Rothaker is really sincere in what he says
his friends ought to have a guardian ap
pointed for him.
The refusal, the other day, of the royal
yacht squadron in London to accept the
terms for a contest for the America’s cup
seems to indicate that there will be no inter
national race this year. It is thought that
our friends, the English, are afraid of being
beaten again, as they probably would
bo, so they object to the rules
as a pretext for not making the contest
Lord Dunraven, who owns the Valkyrie,
may come over, however, and get up a race
or two just for the pleasure of the thing,
although, with his British characteristic
of desiring always to be first, he could not
get much pleasure out of them if the Val
kyrie should be beaten.
Mrs. Abbott, who is now called the Geor
gia wonder, is astonishing the people of
Richmond, Va., by hor exhibition of alleged
strength. She seems to have taken the
place of Lula Hurst, who made a fortune
and then married a young Georgian named
Atkinson. There are a great many people
who will tell you that they caa do all of the
“tricks” performed by Lula Hurst and Mrs.
Abbott, and perhaps they can, but somehow
or other they are found wanting when
brought to the test.
Mrs. Whiteling had hardly been hanged
for murdering her family to get insurance
money, when a Massachusetts woman com
mitted the same kind of crime. No doubt
Mrs. Brennan thought she would not be
found out, or that, if she was, she would be
lightly punished, being a woman. We
shall see if Massachusetts permits her to
escape the gallows, as Mrs. Robinson did.
THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, JUNE 29, 1889.
The Conemaugh Relief Fund.
There seems to be no plans for the distri
bution of the money contributed by people
in ail parts of the country for the Ooae
maugb valley sufferers. The Johnstown
finance committee wants all the money dis
tributed at o ce, and advises that it be dis
tributed among all who suffered a loss of
property. It is willing, however, to hear
suggestions from the different committees
that hold the relief fnnda It* main object
is to get the money into circulation and
thus relieve much existing distress.
The committees having the relief funds
have come to the conclusion that the charity
fund shall be given only to those who are
actua'ly tn need of assistance. In this, of
course, they are right. There are thousands
who lost heavily by the flood who are still
in comfortable circumstances, and who have
all the necessaries, and even the comforts,of
life. The people to be assisted are the
thousands who lost everything, and who are
now homeless.
Of course the relief funds ought not to be
used to encourage idleness. Those who will
not work when employment is offered to
them ought not to be assisted. There are
plenty of men in Conemaugh valley who
will not exert themselves in their own be
half as long as they and their families are
given food and shelter.
There is another thing that the relief
committees will have to bear in mind, and
that is that there will probably be a great
deal of sickness among the flood sufferers,
and those who become helpless from that
cause will have to be cared for. Typhoid
fever has made its appearance in the valley.
In one day this week fifty laborers were
taken seriously sick with symptoms of that
disease.
No doubt the relief committees will dis
tribute the funds in their possession to the
best of their ability among the needy.
Some of the most deserving will be over
looked, doubtless, and many who are well
able to provide for themselves will manage
to draw their support from the relief funds.
This is always the case where there is
abundant charity, and it is a condition of
things which cannot be guarded against
successfully.
Robbing the People.
Some of the millionaires of the country
think that trusts are very good things foi
the people: They really mean that they
are very good things for the people who
have stock in them. A few weeks ago an
article was published in the Political Science
Quarterly, which was a defense of trusts.
The burden of its argument was that trusts
cheapened articles needed by the masses,
and the Standard Oil Company was pointed
out as hasting made kerosene a great deal
cheaper than it would have been had not
that company the monopoly of the coal oil
business.
But what have the apologists for trusts to
say about the sugar trust. The price of
sugar has been advanced about 2 cents a
pound since last January. Two years ago
refined sugar sold, on an average, at about
3 cents a pound less than it is sailing at now.
The other day in the New York Stock
Exchange sugar certificates sold for $136,
and it is freely predicted that they will sell
at $l4O withiu a month or two. When the
Biigar trust was formed and the certificates
were put upon the market, they were sold
at $65, their par value being SIOO.
What has caused this extraordinary ad
vance in sugar certificates? The tru >t is, of
course, robbing the people, and it is there
fore able to pay enor . ious dividends. It is
said that the managers of the trust talk
about paying au annual dividend of 35 per
cent.
Is it not an outrage that the people should
be robbed in this way? Nobody would
complain at a fair profit, but to put the
price of one of the necessaries of Ida so
high as to virtually deprive many poor
families of it am rnnts to a crime.
A court in New Orleans declared the
other day that the cotton seed oil trust
could not do business in that state, and a
New York court some time ago decided the
sugar trust to be an unlawful institution,
but both these trusts continue to do busi
ness. Will a republican congress attempt
to release the people from the grasp of
trusts?” It is to be feared that it will not.
The republicans are the friends of trusts
and monopolies.
The Philadelphia Inquirer rubs its hands
together in an ecstacy of joy as it says: “If
the colored people of the south are so well
pleased with President Harrison now, as
their address shows them to be, they will
fairly idolize him when his policy has been
in operation long enough to secure them in
their right to vote.” The colored people of
the south are not very well pleased with
President Harrison, and they have not pre
sented an address of approval to him. Tne
other day ex-Congressman Lynch of Missis
sippi marched up to the white house ia
front of a company of colored republicans
whom he had been putting through the
motions for some time, and be succeeded in
getting them to say their little piece with
out a break, but they did not represent the
colored people of the south. They repre
sented John R. Lvnch, who was recently
given a piece of government pie. The
President isn’t satisfying many people. It
is extremely doubtful if he is satisfying
those republican organs which preteud to
be so greatly pleased with his administra
tion, but if he satisfies himself he will have
attained the object for which he seems to
think he was elected.
Some time ago a young school mistress
out in Dakota grieved her parents by mar
rying an Indian named Choska. Mr. and
Mrs. ChaskA were engaged by a dime
museum man, and they made a good deal
of money. The other day Thomas Mc-
Laughlin, of West Superior, Wis., married
an Indian maiden. He had beeu engaged
to her some time, but a few weeks ago he
announced that the engagement was “off,’
as his parents were very much opposed to
the marriage. In making this announce
ment he was “playing ’possum,’’ so to speak,
for the preparations for the marriage went
right on at the maiden’s home, and now Mr.
McLaughlin knows what it is to have a
squaw to look after. He is said to be an
industrious aud a respectable young man.
Eld Reed, the son of the late Belle Starr,
was captured in Fort Smith, Ark., the
other day. Reed is a notorious character,
aud he is wanted for having committed
several murders and for having stolen
many horses. He boasted that he would
never be taken alive. He rode defiantly
into Fort Smith the other day to sail some
horses he had stolen, and while he was in a
stall of a livery stable he was arrested.
His father, mother, brother and two sis
ters died violent deaths in the Indian ter
ritory, and the family has long been known
as one of criminals. If Reed is convicted
and sentenced to be hanged, it is not proba
ble that there will be a petition for his par
don.

Lively Times Ahead in Ohio.
From the Sew York Star (Dem.)
Forakers renominatun will revive discussions
not calculated to promote harmony among
Ohio republicans or bring success to their
ticket. The factional contests of the Chicago
convention will be renewed, and knives will be
sharpened for the time server whose vacillations
lost to his state a place on the republican
national ticket.
The Truth In a Nutshell.
From the Boston Globe (Dem )
The truth of the whole matter .seems to be
that Tanner s free and-easy system of granting
pensions and increases has brought the pension
department to its present financial straits. At
least a score of employes of the pension office,
many of them bis own appointees at high sala
ries. have succeeded in getting their own
claims for original pensions and increases
pushed through during tne Tanner administra
tion. and, to cap the farce, nearly all of these
men appear to nave dined Commissioner Tan
ner and their other colleagues to celebrate their
great good luck.

From the Nmr York Star.
. James Rice of Indianapolis, ez-auditor of
tbe state of Indiana and a popular democratic
politician, told a Rood story at tbe Fifth Avenue
hotel last night on young ijenry Cooke, tfco
vv ashington banker and son of the famous ex
nnancier. Jay Cooke. Younr Cooke was com
in* over to New York and fell in with a party of
Indiana democrat*, among whom were Rice and
ez-Senator McDonald, who were coming to the
meeting of the national committee. Cooke
was introduced to McDonald, whom he had
D ®J? r niet before, but failed to catch the name.
The talk turned upon politics and the young
man said: “You democrats can always be

on to discuss farther the merits and chances of
McDonald. Finally the old Indiana warhorse
could stand it no longer, and so made an excuse
to get into the next car.

“No,” said Cooke, “I never saw him be

The Judffe Takes Up the Politician.
From the New York Star
There is a breeziness about the buzz of tbe
venerable Wiskinskie John D. Newman of Tam
many Hall that delights the sense, and the
way he reels off scripture is a warning to dea
cons to look sharp after their laurels. He was
discoursing yesterday in the vicinity of the City
Hall, and in thi course of his interesting re
marks said that Cooper, Power and Cunning
ham reminded him of sh&drach, Me*ha‘h and
Abednego of sacred history.
‘‘Why?" asked the crowd,
r B®£au*e *hey are “ark-angels.” explained
John D., waiting for laughter.
“I don't think you ought to tamper with
scripture. John.” said Judge Monel.
•*>S byT* asked Jo n P.
“Because your biblical education has been,
neglected.” replied the handsome judge.
*'£. hat ‘ 3 the matter with what I said?" queried
the W iskiuskie
"There's nothing in it,” replied the sheriff's
counsel.
Snadrach. Me&hach and Abednego were
sons of Noah and went into the ark; so of
John! 6 ' W6re See?” explained
“I see nothing of the kind,” replied the
judge. tour ignorance is unpardonable,
fhe three sons of Noah were Shatn, Ham and
Jophet!
They made a-bet on it and have been hunting
around among their political friends for a decis
ion, but nobody seems to know how that goes.
Can you tell them *
At Night.
From the Argosy.
At night, when work is done, ’mid shadows
gray that darken
And cling about the window, where once the
sun was bright,
Sweet sounds come back again, to which we
used to hearken,
At night!
At night, though we are old, and the gray
shadows clinging
Presage to us that shore where there is no more
light;
Sometimes there come again sweet airs of child
hood's singing,
At night!
At night we two may sit in shadow, open
hearted;
Long since the time has passed when hope was
all in sight:
Softly we sing the songs of happy days de
parted
At night:
At night the cricket’s voice sounds through the
shadows dreary;
At night the cricket’s voice sounds through the
shadows dreary;
our songs, alas’ like his, have neither charm
nor weight;
We only rest and sing, hushed hopes and voices
weary.
At night!
A Tight Squeeze.
From the Boston Transcript.
Speaking of going to Europe, the listener is
reminded of a dialogue that he heard in a Back
bay car the other day. A middle-aged lady
with a heavily beaded cape, a high pointed
bonnet, gold-heaned umbrella and an inquiring
expression of countenance, had quietly seated
herself and b?en engaged in the study of a
swell English costume opposite for some time,
when another lady, somewhat younger, and
whose costume, oddly enough, happened to be
a sort of caricature of the swell English cos
tume, got into the car and sat down by the lady
in the beaded cape. The two recognized each
other at once, and fell into a conversation. The
older lady began to tell about her alia rs,
making delicate allusions to her house, her ser
vants. her carriage, and the various more or
less gorgeous proceedings of tbe members of
her family. At last tbe younger woman asked—
“fh-rag to Europe this summer, Mrs. il a tier
dash ?”
“On, dear, no! we couldn't think of it.”
The young lady looted an interrogation.
“Oh, you see,” Mrs. H-aberdash went on, by
way of explanation, ’’Europe will be se crowded
this year!”
“So it will,” said the other. “You will find
it less crowded down on tbe shore, I suppose ?”
“No; we aren't go.ng to the shore. John
thinks that oar Marta needs the mountain air,
and so we’re all going to White River Junction
Yt.”
“Oh, how charming! And your daughter
graduates from Wellesley this summer, does
she?”
“Yes. if s'ne gets through. You know she’s
had to be home so much that she’s got kind of
behind. John says tbat it was kind of handy
for her to be sick and have to come home from
college just when the Newlicomes and the Shod
dierafts were having their parties. Bh’s scared
to death now for fear she won't pass the ex
aminations. But do you know what John says?
He's such a case.”
“What does he sav?”
“He says that nothing will please Maria more
than to just barely pass the examination, be
cause if there’s anything she likes it’s a tight
squeeze. Ha. ha. ha, ha?”
And then, the car coming to a stop at the
park square corner, the two ladies got out in a
state of convulsion over Mr. Haberdash’s mem
orable mot.
Ho Wasn’t a Rabbit.
From the New York Tribune.
Several years ago when John M. Thurston,
the weil known republican leader of Nebraska,
was stumping that state in an important cam
paign he included its extreme western part,
then a decidedly wild region, in his circuit. He
was proceeding bv stage to Sidney one day,
when they stopped at a little station to change
horses. While tnis important operation was
going on a large, determined-looking man
•Those most conspicuous article of clothing was
a big revolver, approached the stage cauliousiv.
and while occasionally glancing nervously at 'a
small building, some hundred yards away, with
a large sign of "postotfice’’ on it, he inquired
for Mr. Thurston. That gentleman made him
self known and the stranger said:
"You speak down at Sidney to-night, I hear?”
“Yes. I expect to.”
“1 reckon X’U come down with my partition
and do a little work.”
- iVhat is your petition for?” inquired the
judge.
“the postoffice up there,” and the man
pointed at it with his thumb.
"Is there a good prospect that you will get
it J”
“You bet—l'm sure of it, but I Towed a few
more names wouldn’t do no hurt. When I git
it there s goin' to be the doggondest biggest
change you ever seen in a small place.”
“How’s that?”
“Why, I aiot had a letter out o’ that air office
ter over two years. ”
"Why not?’’
“The dinged critter that has it now says he
will s'uoot me on sight, and you bet he'd do it,
too, so I lay mighty low. When a letter comes
fer me he nails it to the door, shoots it full o'
holes, sends word fer me to come aud git it and
watches fer me out o’ the winder. ”
“How comes he to have such a dislike for
you?"
"Claims I stole one of his steers. I din't touch
none o' his steers till he’d hooked two o' my
calves, aud I can prove it. But jess you wait
till my commission gits here aad 1 git holt of
that office. I’ll wad the first letter that comes
fer him into my snotgun aud fire it down the
we.l. wait a little, jedge: he'll find tuat I
can pound stamps with one hand and cover the
front door with a six shooter with the other jess
as well as he can My name is old Jim White,
and you bet when I’ve got my b iota on 1 can
tie up the eastern mail with my teeth and ho.d
a gun on the geu’ral deliv'ry and mouey order
wiuder both at the same rime! Old Jim White
ain’t no rabbit when it comes to holdin’ a gov
er'ment position an' lookin' out fer his rights.”

The ordinary method of scraping or burning

general purposes and is also laborious. Soda

solution of half of each is thus made: Dissolve

apply with a brush to the old paint, which can
thus be removed in a few minutes.
Horace Walker, of Marlborough, Mass., has
experienced many disappointments. He tried
Paris green, but took too much; jumped out of
a second-story window, but failed to land with

medical fraternity, he lived. His last suicidal
act was to cut his throat from ear to ear. but
tailed to sever his jugular vein, and is still alive.
Those living in a locality in which mosquitoes
are troublesome may make a trial of the fol
lowing recipe for expelling these pests from the
house: Take a piece of gum camphor, in size
about the third of a hen’s egg, anil slowly
evaporate it by bolding it in a shovel or tin
vessel over a lamp, taking care that it does not
ignite. The smoke will soon fill the room and
expel the mosquito- s, and it is said that they will
not return, even though the windows should be
left open all night. , '* l
A “postal tube” to connect Dover with Ca
lais, over the English Channel, is being dis
cussed in England. The plan is to suspend two
tubes of about a yard each in diameter by
means of steel cable’s' across the channel, 40
yards above the level of the sea. The steel ca
bles will be fixed to pillars at distances of about
600 yards, aud In each tube a little railway will
run with cars capable of carrying 450 pounds in
weight. No parcel of greater weight than this
will be taken, and the cost is estimated at the
modest figqre of $5,000,000.
It appears that wood pavements have met
with greater success in some of the countries of
Europe than in our own. the reason assigned
for this being the fact of their having a founda
tion of concrete to rest upon in the former, at
the same time receiving more attention there
in the way of maintenance than here. Owing to
its hardness aud resinous quality, American
yellow pine, it is said, has become the favorite
wood for this purpose in Berlin and Hamburg,
and an official report says that Frederick’s
bridge, Berlin, which was paved in the spring
of 1879 with the wood in question is still in
good cond non. while the approaches, paved
with granite blocks, have twice since required
repaving.
The oldest organ in the United States is said to
be in St. John's church, Portsmouth.N. H. It was
imported by Thomas Brattle in 1713 and pre
sented to the society worshipping at King's
chapel by him. There was such a prejudice
existing against setting it up, that the cases
containing its parts remained unopened for
seven months, after which time the organ was
in use until 1756, when it was soil to St. Paul's
church. Newbaryport. In 1836 St. John’s
church, Portsmouth. N. H., became the owner
paying $450 for the instrument. Anew case
was provided, the old pipes and wind chest
being found in perfect order. There the organ
is to-doy, doing service in tbe vestry, where
the veteran is regarded with the tenderest solic
itude. 'iilV 1’
A Boston fap#r tells of an old burying
ground in a large southern New Hampshire
town where there Is an interesting group of
seven tombstones. Each of six of them marks a
little strip of earth where rests the remains of
one of the wives of one man. and tbe seventh is
the gravestone of the Blue Beard himself. The
epitaphs of tbe wives are short aud simple
enough, but the fifth bears underneath the
name and record of the woman’s birth and
death, these words: • The Peacemaker. ’’ One
can only speculate as to what the circumstances
were under which she exercised her benevolent
art: but no doubt she had to be a peacemaker
to enable her husband to get along in any sort
of comfort with all his deceased wives' rela
tions. But the epitaph on the husband’s tomb
stone is a gem. It reads thus: “Rest, Wears-
Pilgrim.”
A Stranger hurried into a physician’s office at
Niagara, the other day, aud, displaying a bad
scalp wound, asked to have it sewed up. It was
of considerable length aud to the skull. As to
tke manuer of obtaining it he told this story:
“I was entering Prospect Park when a haekman
solicited me to drive to the Whirlpool rapids. I
asked him his price and he said: ‘Oh! never mind
about that; I will treat you all right: jump in,
anyway!’ I wanted to see the rapids, and so I
got in. He drove me there, and on our return
the question of price arose, and he wanted
double the amount I thought was right. I did
feel like paying so much, and when I wouldn’t
give it to him he raised his whip high in the air
and struck me on the head with tne butt end,
cutting me as you see.” The man did not give
his name, but said he was from Canada and did
not feel like making a complaint against his as
saiiaut for fear he wouli be detained.
It will be a disappointment to the Canisbay.
England, crofters should the attempt to dispute
the will of the late Earl of Caithness prove suc
cessful. According to a clause in it, £250,000
was to be divided among them, and, consider
ing that the district is not large, this would
mean a very respectable sum to each indi
vidual, What would make the bequ st all the
more acceptable is their extreme poverty, for
though they get the name of being, as a com
munity, above the average in regard to thrift
and industry, there is extremely little to be
made out of their moory, heathery farms or
from tne high sea out of which they try to sup
plement their livelihood. The late earl was on
extremely friendly terms with his tenants, and
there is hardly auother district in Grant B itain
where the relations between castle and cottage
were friendlier than in his time. To hear tl.e
tenants speak about them is like a dream of
old times.
Mr. Phkylax, a wealthy farmer who lives
about fifteen miles from Detroit, has begun pro
ceedings for divorce. Two years ago he married
Nettie Rockford, whose beautifulhead of golden
hair excited his profeundest admiration. He
■was extremely fond of his wife, very proud of
her beautiful locks, and seemed happy. Sud
denly Pheylan left her and became mute as an
oyster as to the cause of their sudden separa
tion. His lips were first opened when his wife
filed a bill for divorce because of his desertion,
and he filed a cross bill. Mr. Pheylan alleges
that he discovered soon after bis marriage that
it angered his wife for him to touch her hair,
and that, as she refused to let him be present
wnen she made h;r toilet, he grew suspicious,
watched his chance, peepsd over the transom
and discovered that his wife was as baid as bald
could be. and that her gotden locks were hang
ing on a bracket as she combed them out. He
fell to the d-iojt with a yell, and when his wife
had mustered up courage to open the door a nd
see what wSs fin? matter he had gone, never to
return. He Blleges that she hat grossly de
ceived him, aud'tnat he, not she, should get the
