THE DEATH OF A PROMINENT MERCHANT
OF NEW VO UK IN THE POUGHKEEPSIE
LUNATIC ASYLUM. .
The New York Tribune, of Monday,
contains the followiuir statement of
the death of Mr. Jas. H. Elmore, who
wa9 known to many of the people of
Charleston:
.Tames E. Elmore died on Frida)
morning last in the lunatic asylum
at Pousfhkee[>Bie, having been driven
Insane by a series of misfortunes
which are seldom crowed iuto the
life of oue man. Fiftoeu years age
Sir. Elmore was a wldetyknowu New
York business man. He had been
an extensive flour merchant for
years, but left the business to en
gage in the tnanufaet ure of gas fix
tures. At the time of the excitement
over the Pennsylvania oil wells he
became interested to the celebrated
Noble Well. It yielded vast quanti
ties of oil and enriched several peo
ple. Teu years ago Mr. Elmore re
tired from Business worth $250,000.
He purchased a countty seat at
Jamaica, Long Island. A large
mansion was built and broad acres
surrounded it. fits family cousisted
of his wife aud three children. They
kept liveried servants, and their so
ciety was sought by all the aristo
cratic jn-ople of the town. Aaron A.
Degrauw was oDe of the aristocratic
residents. Between hitn and Elmore
there grew up a strong intimacy.
They engaged in oil and coal specu
lations, and built a horse railroad
from Jamaica to East New York.
Elmore lost thousands of dollars in
it. Elmore aud Degrauw quarrelled.
Claims of fruu 1 were made by both
sides, and they went to law. Brook
lyn court house was always the
bit tie-ground. Elmore became
kuown as the "Man up
the river. 1 ' The cases went from oue
Court to another, first one and then the
other having Ute best of it, and the Court
of Appeals was invariably reached. Tbs
majority of the suits terminated in iavur
of Degrauw. Elmore was unfortunate in
being' stricken by disease during the
hcigiith of the battle, and for nearly a year
his life wavered in the balance. Judgment
after judgment rolled up against him, and
in the midst ol the trouble, which preyed
heavily upon bis wife and daughter, the
latter died, It was a severe blow. Elmore
finally rallied, hut was a cripple for life.
His finances had been gradually wasting
a'„y. He renewed 'he struggle, however,
but his health and the advantages gained
during his illnesshad great weight against
him. Over exertion and txeileuteul
brought him again to a sick bed. An im
portant case was before ttie Court ol Ap
peals. Trouble care and bereavement bad
reduced Mrs. Elmore to a skeleton. At
length the decision came. It was adverse
to Eimore, and at the mention of the fact
Mrs. Elmore dropped dead on the parlor
floor. The masiou and lands were her’s
in fee simple. t>he had m ide no will. The
judgments that had been obtained against
Elmore were waiting satisfaction. He
was well nigh penniless, and now soon to
be made homeless. He had two sons, the
eldest an Assistant Clerk in tbe Court of
Appeals. Elmore’s life-interest in bis
wife's estate wos sold by the Sheriff. The
personal chattels were sacrificed. The
mansion and grounds were bid off to a
man named Scott. Elmore and liis chil
dren were driven into the streets, virtually
paupers. An interest he had, in some
hotel proerty in Jamaica was sold under
another execction, and a genileman who
had endorsed his appeal bouds was com
pelled to purchase at the prices of S2B,U(X)
to save himself. Elmore traveled from
one.place to another, a cripple, subsisting
on the benevolence of old-times sympa
thetic friends. On Christmas night, a
year ago, his eldest son, Charles, was kill
ed on the Pennsylvania Railroad. The
tottering iuleh-ct of tite infirm old man
gave way entirely under this dreaitlul
blow, and his emaciated bo ly was borne
to the Poughkeepsie Asylum, from whence
he never walked forth again.
WIT AMU HIiMOK.
There is an old man in New York who
is so afraid of being blown up that he
won’t no near a steam engine, and yet
the fifth wife he buried was a red-headed
woman.
“What ugly looking brat Is that under
the window, Susan?” “Why, that .is
mine,” replied Mrs. J . “Oh! call the
dear, beautiful, pretty little creature in,
and let me kisa her.
“Compariaons are Odious.” —The
Major (rocking Nelly on his knee lor
Aunt Mary’s sake): I suppose this is
what you like, Nelly?” Nelly: “Yes it’s
very nice. But I rode on a real donkey,
yesterday —I mean one with four legs,
you know. — [Punch.
A man, who jumped overboard recent
ly to save his wife from drowning, has
explained this action satisfactoriliy to his
freinds. He said she had a good deal of
jewelry on her person and gold was hign
A young man on the hill came near
creating a riot last Tuesday by asking a
red-headed woman if she carried a ther
mometer in her bonnet.
“Good morning, Donnelly! I hear
your daughter baa a baby; is it a boy or a
girl?” “dlmre Miss, and it’s meself as
doesen’t yet know for the life of me if
I’m a grandfather or a grandmother, be
dud.”
The objection to insuring his life made
by a veteran gambler, I don’t like to (day
a game where I’ve got to die to win," is
thus delicately paraphrased by a fastidi
ous writer: '"Men instinctly dislike the
contemplation of a contract in which
death is a necessary incident to give it
value to their estate.”
Why should one always carry an old
umbrella?” Because umorellas are only
good when they’re used up.
An exchange states that the pockets of
Ulster over coats, this Winter, are lined
with zinc and tastened at the fl ips wi h a
spring lock and a ring to hang a railroad
check on, so that a man doesn't have to
carry a trunk when he travels.
Mammd— ‘Wbnt is the baby crying
for, Maggie?” Maggie—“l don’t know.”
Mamma—“And what are you looking so
indignant about ?'' Maggie—“ That nasiy
dog’s been and look and eaten my ’punge
cake.” Mamma—."Why, I saw you eat
ing a sponge cake a minuie ago.” Mag
gie—“o, that was baby’s !"
A Piedmontese and a Neapolitan were
discussing the relative charms of their
countries. “Naples!” said the former;
“Naples is the dirtiest city in the universe.
You can’t set foot on its streets without
getting ankle deep in filth.” “Well bat
look at our sky—that carpet of the gods
so beautifull, to eternally blue.” “Yes,the
carpet of the gods is passably clean, I ad
mit, but that is only because you can’t
apit on it.”
“Which is the largest gland?” asked a
Chicago medical professor of the newest
arrival in his class the other day. Tne
student buried himself in deep and atten
tive thought for a moment, and then
brightening up suddenly, exclaimed: ‘ The
largest gland,sir, is England." Then the
professor kindly led the yonng man aside,
and pathetically advised him to think no
more of medicine, but to join a minstrel
show, or enter the army.
A Milwaukee editor writes in this mel
ancholy strain: “We didu’t want our wife
to go to the auction, and so we hid her
shoes to keep her at home; having occa
sion to go out an hour afterwards, we
harked for our boots, but they weren’t
there; neither was our wife. It isn’t any
4tse.”
“Handsome is as handsome does.”
said a Chicago man to his wife.—" Yes
site replied, in a winning tone, “for instance
a husband who is always ready to hand
some raouey to his wife.”
Mystery: A piano in a house in Sodalie,
Missouri, sounded midnight alter midnight
after tbe farmer's daughter had gone to
bed. Theory: Spirit bauds belonging to
Beethoven, Mozart and others, moved
acsoss tbe key-board. Fact: A large nest
of mice under the keys. Counter-argu
ment of tbe spiritualists: Tim mouse the
ory is a desperate device to keep the
Christian religion from going to pieces.

Dealers in dry goods report a very ac
tive wholesale market in the Western
and Soul hern trade, and say orders
ane considerably b< ai<r than usual
at this time of tbe year. Many of the
mills in New England have large con
tracts ahead, including several heavy or
ders for export business. Recently there
have been exports of cotton cloths to
English ports, and others to British
Colonies in various parts of the world.
Consumptive* lake Notice.
Every moment of delay makes your
cure more hopeless, and much depends on
the judicious choice or a remedy. The
amount of testimony in favor of Dr.
bchenck’s Pulmonic Syrup, us a cure for
Consumption, far exceeds ail that call bo
brought to suppott the pretensions of
any other medicine. See Dr. Sehenck’s
Almanac, containing the certificates of
many persons of the highest respectabili
ty, who have been restored to health,
slter being prononneed incurable by
physicians of acknowledged ability
Sohenck’s Pulmonic Syrup alone has
cured many, as these evidences will show;
but the cure is often promoted by the em
ployment of two other remedies which
Dr. bchenek provides for the purpose.
I hese additional remedies hi** Scheuck’s
Sea Weed lonic and Mandrake Pills. By
the timelv use of tbene metiieiues, accord
ing to directions. Dr. Schenek certifies
that most any ease of Consumption may
be i ured.
Dr. schenek Is professionally at his
principal office. Corner Sixth and Arch
streets. Philadelphia, every Monday,
where all letters for advice must bo ad
dressed.

This incomparable preparation for tho Hair is

It prevents the Hair from falling off, producing

The Xanthine is the only hair dressing I have
ever used which has removed the dandruff from
the scalp and made my hair soft and pliable. It
lias also restored my hair to its natural color; and
by occasionally using it as a hair dressing, I have
no doubt it will preserve the color.
