Mrs. Adelaide Chalk, a widow aged thirty-
eight, of Windsor street, Bisbopsgate, London, died sud
denly the other day from heart-disease, soon after being
confronted by the wife of a man to whom she was to have
been married that day, and who had passed himself off
as a bachelor.
She was one of those sentimental young crea
tures who linger in the doorway to bid you good-bye in
the starlight, and after she had parted from him the
other night, she went up to her room murmuriDg: “Yes,
I should know it was hard times, by the kind of hair oil
he uses now.’’
She stood in the door and watched the depart
ing form of her own beloved spouse, and sighed at the
thought that she would’nt see him before dinnertime;
then she went sadly into her boudoir and kissed the pho
tograph of her first hUBband, whispering in soft accents;
“ Ob, how changed is the world to me ! He promised to
give me a new silk, and he’s ordered home only a calico.
Why did I marry again ?”
This is the style of music at heavy-swell

English air of “ Tommy, make room for your Uncle," or

An Omaha girl recently married a man whose
features were Dearly obscured by a heavy growth of
whiskers. “How,” said she, at the conclusion of the
marriage ceremony, ” my first anxiety is to get that hair
off of your face, so that I can see who you look like.
I’ve married a pig in a poke, so far as your features are
concerned.” The barber had a call that day.

the murderer of Maggie Baer, was examined this morn
ing. The prisoner contemplated suicide last night, and
stated to the jailor this morning that he would like to
dispose of his life by bangiDg himself, but that he had
not the courage to do it. On his examination he stated
that he was twenty-nine years of age; was born in Brook

property taken: Cne hundred and seventy-six gold and

and finger rings, 5 solitaire diamond studs, 3 diamoud
collar buttons, and about one hundred gold and diamond

was committed by the same man who, four weeks ago,
robbed the jewelry store of Horton, on Fulton street.

POLITICS.
Washington, October 29.—At the pool-room
for to-morrow's races a brisk impromptu business was
done. In politics, the pools sold as follows: General
result—Tilden, $100; Hayes, $80. Indiana—Tilden, $100;
Hayes, $50. Ohio—Hayes, $25; Tilden, $15.
GOVERNOR JOSEPH E. BOOWN THINKS TILDEN WILL
BE ELECTED.
“What do you think has given Tilden the
advantage ?" asked a reporter.
“ First, and above all other influences, Grant’s bayonet
policy, as illustrated in South Carolina. That has done
more than anything else to carry votes over to Tilden.
If the South Carolina proclamation had never been issued,
I think Hayes might have been elected, despite the valu
able Democratic victory in Indiana. As it is, I feel con
fident that the balancing vote has gone over to Tilden. I
consider that the most dangerous usurpation that this
country has seen since the war. If twelve years after
peace has been concluded, armed troops can be sent into
a State on such an errand as the troops have entered Car
olina, then our
“LIBERTY IS AT THE POINT OF A BAYONET.
“ Thinking Republicans argue this way: ‘ Suppose we
allow Grant to invade Carolina in this way, without en
tering a protest; suppose, then, that Tilden should be
elected in spite of us, what will prevent his following
Grant’s precedent, and filling Philadelphia and Chicago
with bayonets in the next general election ?’"
“Your opinions are based, Governor, I suppose, on
pretty general observation?"
“ 1 do hot quote the opinions of any leading men. I did
not ask for their opinions. I was of course solicitous to
get the truth of the matter, and I conversed with a great
many ordinary people on politics. I would meet men in
street-cars, on the train, in hotels, and elsewhere, and I
tried to get the real drift of opinion. For instance, I
talked to the young Irishman who pushed my rolling
chair about the Centennial Grounds on that subject. He
told me that he and his father had formerly voted the
Republican ttcket but that they talked the matter over,
and concluded to go for Tilden. He said they didn’t like
the way Grant had of pushing troops into South Carolina
and disarming the whites, while he left the negroes
armed. This is but one instance in hundreds that I
might give. I talked with the people, and I think I can
not be mistaken in my estimate."
A writer describing the recent political Tilden
demonstration in New York city, says: “Fully 50,000
spectators of both sexes and all conditions were huddled
tagether in one pushing and struggling merry mass in
and about Union Square. Pyrotechnic pieces of the most
unique and brilliant design were set off as the proces
sion passed the reviewing stand. Every other moment
large paper lighted balloons were sent sailing skyward,
amid showers of rocketB, blue-lights and all manner of
explosives, and every now and then the booming of heavy
pieces of artillery deafened the great mass. Between the
greatness of the crowd, the brilliancy of the fire-works,
gnd the processionists, the effect produced beggars de

AMUSING RIPPLES.
A lady in London got the idea in her head that
the devil was in her, and hung herself. If women
go to hanging themselves for a little thing like
that, they are going to be scarce, that’s all.
At the end of an Indiana marriage ceremony,
the bride advanced gracefully to the clergyman
officiating, and requested him to announce the
hymn: “This is the way I long have sought.” The
request was complied with.
“It is such a funny thing,” said an old lady of
experience, “to see a doctor try to look solemn
when he is told there is a great deal of sickness
about. The only thing that beats it is to hear a
lawyer talk about the folly of people going to law.”
He used to visit her every week; but he don’t
go there any more now; for when the old gentle
man came into the parlor they were sitting six
feet apart, it is true, but the shoulder of his coat
had enough white powder on it to supply a nurse

Among the most horrible curiosities of suicide is
the case of the Frenchman, who killed him

now to see that the flames were real.

Our idea of giving the methods of making and solving
puzzles seems to meet popular appreciation, bo we con
tinue our articles this week by giving
the anaoram.
The anagram is a nice little puzzle, but of late it has
almost dropped from the puzzle columns of the principal
papers. We shall stick to it, however, and meritorious
contributions from our «• head workers.”
An anagram is the transposition of the letters of any
word into some apt saying.
The word murder is a good example of an anagram, for
by reversing it we have what caused, red rum. In pre
senting an anagram to be solved, the word is given as
transposed, aud the object is to change it into the orig
inal word. It will be seen that by taking a long word,
the puzzle will become somewhat difficult. ’
We now present an excellent batch of puzzles. See who
can answer the most, if not all of them. The one who
does will have his or name published as “Our Puzzle
