At Atlanta two years ago, Phillip McIntyre, a boy of 15, was married to Virginia Colins, a girl of 15. The children started out on their mantel life aS happy as two young birds' Ja wlio had riated in the earl v spring. lit tie ov$r a year aftel their union there constituted was i r xa to them a child, artd the trio the yonngest family in the Stftto, Recently the course of true love lias not rm, smoothly in the Mclntyie fain j]y Tlie young husband and wife grew weary of 'he bind-' which two years ago tliev assumed in a frexk of juvenile affection. Finally they went apart,-the, 15-year-old mother taking ber chil'i with her. Younj McIntyre has tiled a bill asking tlie Superior Court to annul their marriage. lie sets fourth that he was to> young to legally marry two years ago, lieiug only 15 yeani bid while the law required that he should bs at least L7. His wife was only 13, wh-reas she should have been at least 15 to marry legally. He also declares that his mind and feelings were not sufficiently mature to subject him to the responsibility of such a sol emu contract. The law makes the child legi'yuate In spite of the incapac ity of C.w airents to make a legal mat rimonialso’itract. McIntyre says he will supporytho child and do what he can to conduce to the happiness of his young wife, jmt he thinks it just an 1 fair that the marriage should be set aside as illegal, and both parties be left freer tib marfyagain. It is a novel case. Insanity ip the nited States. The increase of insanity in tho Uni¬ ted States during the recent years is quite amazhb g. One ig inclined to doubt whethef the figures given can possibly bacorrect ; but they are offi¬ cially authentfeated. Statistics show that in 1865 the number of insane peo pie in the States was 24,012, a small percentage. In five years tlie numbor reached 37.432, and in 1880 the figures had grown to the surprising total of 111,059.

The race of life is run at a greater pace than it w.is, and tho pressure is greater in consequence. Many organ¬ izations give way under the strain. !t is said that the Increase has been in ml rapid in the Western States, but no reason is suggested, and it would be deeply interesting to know why, for the causes winch are in foice th re are doubtless in f»r6e elsewhere. The in¬ crease in instd 1880 ity during tire ten years from 1870 to was nearly 150 per cent, it is sfited. From 1805 it is still greater, knA, though this is far from a subjelt of jest, it may be won¬ dered whetler, if the proportion is maintained, it will not soon lie neces ary to calculate tlie small percentage of inhabitants of tlie Western States who retain their sanity.—London Stan¬ dard . A Beautiful Story. I Salt.Lake Tribune. Salt "Lake has one of the most intel¬ ligent dogs in creation, as tiio follow¬ ing story shows : The owner of the dog is also tlxe proprietor of a cow. Evei'y morning the dog is started off to drive the cow to pasture down near the Jordan. A lunch for the dog is tied up in paper and fastened to his collar. He will drive the cow to where there is good pasture, and on hot days will then lie down in tlxe shadow she casts, moving along as the cow moves, and thus keeping constantly in the shade. He doex not touch his lunch until noon, when he slips tiie collar rrom his head, Uar« off the pajxer and devours his repast. He will then with his paws, |ush tlxe collar back over Lis head, and towards evening starts the cow tibiae. This story is vouched for by several persons who have witnessed tlxe dfg’s performance ; in fact, some of th» people or the vicinity are in the habitof watching him every day. • —M Tli; battle begins in the earliest dawx of tlxe child's existence.

CANADIAN DARING. THE BRAVE ACT OK A PRIVATE SOL BIER IN THE NORTHWEST CAM¬ PAIGN. | Toronto Mail. ■ One the of most daring feats during the rebellion in the Northwest was Performed by a soldier in the ranks w ho weixt with tlxe regulars from Toronto. At the risk of losing his he performed an act whicli had an important bearing on tlie lii.ul defeat and xoixtof the rebels. At the com menceinout of tlie siege of Ifatouciie tliesteamei Noithcotc, iiassing down the South Saskatcnewan, attracted the lire of tire rebels from eitliei hank of the river. She was alilo to keep up constant communication with attack Jn S colmnn on land by blowing the steam whistle. This displayed to the general the position of the icliels and also showed that the boat uad not been seized. The vessel was under a heavy lire, and tlie- biave defeudeis bad to seek refuge behind boxes of corned side. Across the livei w.vs an elevated cable, beneath which the vessel had to P ;U *s- It will be remembered that the rebels lowered one end of the cable to stop further progress. The boat, how ever, went on and the smoke stacks, flagstaff and stewn whistle were broken off by the cable. Thus all commuui cation with the column was stopped, As soon as the whistling ceased those on land who were attacking the rebel stronghold thought that the boat had been seized, The importance of keep¬ ing up communication was recognizsd by all on board,. Major Smith of “C” company had a hurried conference with tlie captain of the boat to ascertain what could be done, but a satisfactory conclusion could not be arrived at. The engineer was unwilling to risk his life in trying to repair the damage. Mi.jor Smith then called for a volunteer to go up and screw the whistle on. I’rivate Charles Combes of “U” com¬ pany immediately offered to undertake the hazardous job. lit order to ilx the wliisth on again it was necessary to Stand on top of the wheellionse and screw it to the pipe. The chances of being shot were very great, as tlie reb¬ els wore keeping up a continued lire. The ship’s carpenter cut a hole through tlie iquer deck to the wheel house. Private C unties got )irt» the, wiieel house through the hole, and^Trom thence lie climbed through the window to the top of the structure. The bul¬ lets were Hying fast, and it was mo mentarily expected that he would be shot. He reached the top in safety, and began screwing on the whistle to the pipe live feet above Him roof. He was completely exposed to tlie fire oi the rebels. Fortune seemed to favor him, for though tlie bullets were di¬ rected at him they did not strike the mark. Tun |>ii>e to which Combes was screwing the whistle was struck twice, and the lioard on which he was stand¬ ing was pierced by balls, within two Inches of his feet. At last, however, the job was done, and amid descended the ap¬ plause of all on board ho the same way as lie had gone up. The whistle worked all right, restored and commu¬ nication was onco more with the colmnn. Very Remarkable Recovery. Mr. Guo. V.

Hundreds of testimonials attest their great cura¬ tive powers. Only fifty cents a bottle at Dr. U. J. Reid’s. A lady iuJAt.boua was once sleeping witli a frxeud, when both dreamed that a neighbor had died that night. Tlie next morning they sivxkof their dreams and were surprised to find them tlie same ; but their consternation was in creased upon learning later in the day that the party had died, just as their dreams foretold. Eatonton Messenger: A darkey talking with a friend on the subjeotor answered prayers, was askid if the Almighty always answered his prayers. He replied that it depended entirely on uow he worded his petitiou. “If I ask tlie Lord to send me-* turkey, I won’t git it, but if 1 ask Him to send me after tlxe turkey I alwavs git one befor e daybreak.” It is beyond quxstion that Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral lias done and is doing vast good, and is worthy of tlie place Of honor it holds at tne head of all reinedi' . disease ol the throat and lungs.

Arkansas City, Ark., .September 13— in l£t$8 and 1809 Napoleo , Ark, was a small but energetic town, run uing back from the Mississippi liver in an irregular manner from a half to j three-fourths sensations pf the a mile. town had Among during 1 lie many those years was a real glmst that would riiateri.<!i>.e. Mr. A. A. LJington, the then sheriff of the county, started to his fuim in tlie country, three miles distant, one daik nigiit, wlien, as lie said, just as lie was entering the woods a mile below town, lie saw in the pit fi¬ lie road a ball of lire, as big as a Uirrei, slowly rolling down tlie road toward where there were several graves o; federal and rebel soldiers (tlie result of a guerilla tight), and suddenly sink into the ground. Just as the bill dis appeared tlie figure of a naked man crossed tlie road and went into the bushes. Mr. Edington was not a timid man. but lie had witnessed enough to return to town and repeat to a wouder ing crowd what he had seen. He had passed over the same road almost daily for ten yearx previous and had never seen anything out of the way before, No one could douhtdiis veracity. Then all manner of surmises about killing for money and hanging during the war were indulged In The place where the ghost was seen was just at the edge of the woods on the banks of the river, On tire river side were the gravt s of eight or ten soldiers. On tlie opposite sido of the road were tlie graves of some bushwhackers and wai campers who were traveling west out of war’s way. Just at the turning point of tho road, and on tlie roadside, was a large iron wash kettle, half buried, witlx mouth down, marking the location of some campers (luring the war. TI 10 vision of the hall of lire was often soen by others, and Mr. It. Headman, now of our county, reported having seen a. man dressed in white kneeling besldo one of tlie graves. Mr. Ellington never went tliat road alone at night after¬ wards Several whites aud negroes testified to seeing the lire, and aoino saw the figure of a man. Tixo singular part was, tlxe llguio or tlxe lire only presented itself to n single person, uever to two at one time. Tixe stiwy ot line sjhoat and tljo Are became con tinned by the ixurnlier of reliable persons who saw it. Some 0110 passing that road one day discovered the old kettle turned up on its legs. L r , 011 examination of tlxe ground where it had lain, there were found marks of gol 1 and silver coin pieces imprinted in the earth, as also pieces of household silver and jewelry. This gras another surprise. Who buried these treasures and why, and who took them away, after they had lain for years under that, old iron kettle, was a mystery that ue v er was solved. Yet another. Tho river that once peacefully glided along 1 ,he town front commeucoJ to rapidly eat the banks away. Houses and lots, acre after acre, whs swept awav. Tho mighty river swallowed up tlxe once busy town, until not one inch of Garth that formed, the town was left. Still it kept busily eating down into tho woods until it came to within probably fifty feet of the grave just spoken of. There it ceased, and there it remains today for any one curious enougli to visit. What these sights were or wtiat they meant can not lx; said, but thero are living witnesses to vouch for tiiei ghost story of the ol 1 town of N x.xol x on. Tlie Richmond, (Kentucky,) Herald is to tlie front with an ecclesiastical snake story, whic.i will pass consider ■ ing the la< eneas of the season. It ap¬ pears that recently, while the Reverend Bourbon Hawes was preaching at a Baptist ehurce, he chose for his text : “As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness,” etc - No sooner had he finished Ahe reading than a snake fell from the loft through en opening in the corner of the building. For a in • merit all was confusion in that part of the congregation, but the preacher calmly continued : “It is also written tlxat ‘the seed of tlxe woman shall bruise the ^serpent’s head.” A good 0 jd deacon tuokja decidedly literal view 0 f the matter aud planted tlie heel of a No. 11 squarely on the snake’s head, mid the services continued as if uotlx j U g had happened, Acute rheuraat ism is an inflammation of tlxe joints, marked by pain, heat. redness, and a tendency to suddenly shift from one joint to anotlxer. Witlx these symptoms apply Salvation O.l, the great i>aiu cure, to the affoted parts without delay, l’ricc 25 cents a 1 bottle.
