A Season of Prayer. THAT TURNS OUT TO HAVE BEEN SPICED WITH A LITTLE COMEDY. The Cleveland Leader reports a comedy in real life which took place in Eric, Pa., lately. The heroine was a buxom young woman whose husband died a year ago. When she had worn her weeds six months the would be hero of the play came a wooing, and his attentions not being distasteful to the widow, she consented to marry him in twelve months and a day from the date of her first husband's death. The happy day fell on Wednesday last, and the ceremony was to take place at the bride's house. A mag l.ificent wedding feast was p'XJpared, and about sixty guests were invited. The hour appointed for the marriage was 6 P. M. In the forenoon the bridegroom-elect went olf to invite a lew friends in the country who had been forgotten. The afternoon mail brought a postal card from him, stating that he ha<l conscientious scruples about marrying a woman so recently widowed. He would make it a matter of prayer, and would abide the result of l.is feelings when through. She was not. to take this as a positive de clination to marry', but if lie did not arrive at 6 o'clock P. INI. she might consider the marriage “off.” The widow did not faint nor go into hys terics, but donned her wedding attire and welcomed her guests with a smil ing face. At 6 o’clock all the guests were there, and with them, of course, flic minister; but no bridegroom had appeared. With unruftled counte nance the expectant bride ‘'called the meeting to order,” and read aloud the recreant lover's card. When the storm of surprise and denunciation had sub sided she added : 44 But that needn't spoil the dinner,” and thereupon the guests fell to banqueting, none more heartily than the mistress of the house herself. When the table was cleared dancing began, and an elderly bach elor led the german with the disap pointed (?) bride. lie became so enamored of her that within the hour lie proposed ; he was accepted ; the minister was recalled, and at 11 P. M. the wedding took place with the new bridegroom. But scarcely had the bridal kiss been bestowed when in rushed the too conscientious lover, who, after a protracted season of prayer, had concluded to come back and wed. lie was just in time to con gratulate the bride, not his own, but another’s, and then hastily stole away, resolved within to stifle conscience ere he sought another bride. What Congress Did for Mrs. Lincoln. It is a matter of discussion at this time what Congress will do for Mrs. Garfield. In this case the act passed in relation to Mrs. Mary Lincoln, whose husband was also assassinated while President, is of interest. There were three acts of the kind passed by' Con gress. The first act passed when Congress came together after the assassination of President Lincoln was as follows: That the Secretary of the Treasury pay' out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated to Mrs. Mary Lincoln, widow of Abraham Lincoln, late President of the United States, or in the event of her death, before payment, the sum of $25,000 ; Provided always, that any sum of money which shall have been paid to thepersoual representatives of the said Abraham Lincoln since his death, on account of his salary as President of the United States for the current year shall be deducted from the said sum of $25,000.” The amount thus granted to Mrs. Lincoln was the salary of the President for one year. Now that salary is $50,000. In February', 1866. Congress passed the following act: “That all letters and packets carried by post to and from Mary Lincoln, widow of the late Abraham Lincoln, be carried free of postage during her natural life.” In 1870 the following act was passed : “ That the Secretary of the Interior he and is hereby' author ized to place the name of Mary Lin coln. widow of Abraham Lincoln, deceased, late President of the United States, on the pension roll, and allow and pay her a pension at the rate of $3,000 per annum from and after the passage of this act.” —Washington btcir. Mutilated Coins. The Secretary of the Treasur\ r has clearly defined the status of mutilated coin, lie says that there is no provi sion for its redemption by the Gov ernment, but intimates that every one has the right to sell it as old gold and silver. Among the melters may be included the United States, for any citizen may deposit bullion at the assay office and receive its value when this is determined. Between mutila ted coin worn and money there is dis tinction ; for the wear of metalie cur reney in use is overlooked by the Government as long as there is enough of the inscription left to verify the denomination. Mutilation, however, is willful and not accidental, and the loss must be sustained by the holder. As none of our silver coin is intrinsi cally worth its value the moral is that every oue should refuse—as lie has legally the right to do—any coin that has been clipped, punched or drilled. Col. A. Wood Merryweather, whom everybody in Scranton, Pa., know's, writes and says : “I had suffered from a derangement of the bladder and kid neys ; it had made ray general health very poor. I also was troubled with severe indigestion; pills gave me only temporary relief, and I experien ced great anxiety of mind, as well as physical distress. A friend recom mended Brown’s Iron Bitters. I have used it with most gratifying results, and just now my health never was bet ter, and I feel that the cure is perma nent.” Food for the Brain and Nerves that will invigorate the body without intox icating is what we need in these days of rush and worry.

Tf, there fore, the Kidneys and Liver are kept in perfect order, perfect health will be the re sult. This truth has only been known a short time and for years people suffered great agony without being able to find re lief. The discovery of Warner's Safe Kid ney and Liver Cure marks anew era in the treatment of these troubles. Made from a simple tropica! leaf of rare value, it con tains just the elements necessary to nour ish and invigorate both of these great or gans, and safely restore and keep them in order.

A German military authority says that the completion of the fortifications of Paris has rendered that city a most formidable fortress, capable of defend ing not only the center, but the west and south of France. Sheep raising is a profitable business in Texas. In June. 1879, a gentleman residing in Kinney county invested SI,BOO in sheep. Last August lie sold his flock of 3,400 head for $7,050. The mutton he had previously sold was sufficient to more than cover his ex penses. A medical practitioner in Vienna has been fined fift3' gulden for using the title of professor without authority. It would he interesting to know how much of the public debt we would be able to pay in the United States with the money gained from the enforce ment of a similar statute. At the royal palace in Berlin 40,000 wax candles are instantaneously lighted by a single match. The wicks are previously connected by a thread spun from gun cotton, on igniting one end of which all the candles are lighted and thus the whole of the 700 apartments are lighted atonce. A gold memorial medal of the late President will soon he issued from the Philadelphia United States mint. There will he two sizes, a five dollar medal, which will bo ha’.f an inch in diameter, and a ten dollar medal, an inch in diameter. On one side will be a medallion of Garfield, on the other Lincoln. At the meeting of the Methodist Conference in London, James Calvert of Fiji said that the greatest blot of the Fijians was their cannibalism. One of the natives stated that he had feasted on 872 different persons, and six or seven of the missionaries were eaten when they first commenced their labors in Fiji. A Denver girl advertised for propo sals of marriage. Her father published a card to sa}' that her advertisement was merely a foolish freak, and that nobody should regard it seriously. Then the girl cane out with a decla ration that, being of legal age to choose a husband for herself, she had taken her own means ofgctting suited, and did not mean to abandon the plan. \ There arc at the present time nearly four hundred female physicians in active practice in twenty-six States, the majority of them being residents of New York, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. These figures show a marvelous growth. Persons not very far advanced in years can remember when there were no women claiming to practice medicine who were worthy of public confidence. Guiteau’s fatal bullet is in the possession of President Garfield’s private secretary, Mr. Brown. It will he produced at the trial of the assassin. And so will the splintered vertebra, from the spinal column—which bone lias been removed from the spine— and, together with the splintered eleventh rib, will be used at the trial and after that placed in the army museum in Washington. A sample of water from the Sacred Well of Mecca has beeir analyzed and found to be polluted by sewage to an extraordinary degree of disease-breed ing filthiness. In fact, Professor Fraukland, who made the analysis, declares that it is nothing less than bottled cholera, and, as this water is in great demand throughout Moham medan counties, it is manifest that it is likely to be an active agent in the dissemination of disease. It is announced that Priestly & Sons, among the largest, manufacturers of fine dress goods, whose works at Bradford. England, continually run fifteen hundred steam looms, are about to remove their entire business to Philadelphia, being convinced that the United States is to be the future indus trial centre. A building has been secured and the machinery is already arriving. It is probable that the operatives of the English works will very generally follow the mill to this country. A portion of the Mammoth Cave in Kentucky is hereafter to be used for the purpose of raising mushroom**, an enterprising Frenchman having sug gested the idea to the manager of the property. Some of the more senti mental Kentuckj* editors are bewailing the fact that a great natural curiosity should be put to such base uses, but the protestations of the esthetic editor avail not when there is money to be made by disregarding them. A Chinese witness in a Philadelphia court, after taking an oath with a par- loud kiss of the Bible, was asked if he considered himself bound thereby to tell the truth. He compla cently answered that the Bible was no more to him than the lawyer's old white hat. The only form of oath that he would respect, he said, was to cut off a chicken’s head while repeating certain words in Chinese. A chicken and knife were provided by the op posing counsel, but the Judge said that, though inclined to permit the ceremony, he would adjourn the trial for a week to consider the question. Cummings engaged himself to mar ry a Pennsylvania widow, Mrs. Ken nedy ; but he was disturbed by the fact that her first husband had been dead only a year, and on the dav set for the wedding sent her a note saying that he would go into the solitude of the woods to pra} r for Divine guidance. The enraged widow read the message to the guests when they assembled, and declared that she would not be come Cummings’ wife, no matter what light he might obtain from above. Williams, an old and previousl\ r dis carded suitor, saw bis opportunity and offered to act as bridegroom. lie was accepted, and when Cummings arrived, quieted, there was f)cofcßßumflf Sards. JQK R.
