A Curious Cause of Death.
When a boy Joseph Walker was in
bis father’s kitcheu oDe day when his
mother bad been boiling maple syrup
Throe were two barrels in the room
aDd be, supposing them to be both
syrup, took a teacup and dipjed it fn 1
from One of the barrels and took a
large swallow To his cor eterr ation
i proved to be lye. He had mistaken
the leach barrel for the syrup. It gave
h'm great distress at the time and
caused a permanent Rtrictneof the
gullet, which has proved the iudlreut
cause ot his death.
Mr. Walker was a sergeant in the
20ih Maine .Regiment, and was wound
ed at the battle of People's Faun
About the close of the war he c m
menced to have trouble from the strict
ure in the gullet, by pieces of meat
and food lodging at the injured par
and causing him great distress. Some
times it would nearly strangle him
He was a man of a mechanical mind
and a carpenter, and he made a long
oak stick, round, and very smooth,
and when any fragment of food would
become lodged in its passage in the
gnllet, he would force it into his stora
ach with his instrument. This opera*
ticn, which would seem difficult, even
for a skilled physician to perform with
the most improved instrument, Mr.
Walker has peiformed successfully
wiih this rude appliance of his own
construction over twenty five times in
the last twenty years.
Several years ago a prominent Port
land physician was summoned to Mr
Walker’s bedside aud found him in
the greatest distress. That day while
eating dinner a piece of meat lodged in
the passage, lie went to his room
and used his instrument as be had so
many times, but relief did not follow;
on tbe contrary, the pain became
worse and he giew very much exhaust
ed. The physician procured an instru
meat and cleared the passage to the
stomach and the patient was tempor
arily relieved, but only temporarily,
lor he sank lapidly and died.
xhe doctor gave it as his opinion
that Mr. Walker had punctured the
side of the gullet aud an autopsy was
made, whioh proved the diagnosis to
he correct. In the right lung were
fi and lodged two rebl buckshot
which tbe gallant soldier had carried
for over twenty years,
Are Tuey Married?
New v ork, July 29.—Mrs.Langtry
has gone to housekeeping in a villa at
L ng Branch for the pmrnnrr, and in a
m inner to create the bt lief that she
and Freddie Gebhaxdt are already mar
ried. It is currently reported at the
gieat Jersey rpsort that a quiet cere
mony folio w ed a quiet divorce in June,
and that a honey no m is now going
on. Neither the lady nor the geutle
man will answer a qu s ion on the sab
ject They went to Long Branch
about July 4th aid took roc ms at the
West End Hotel for a week. Now
they are domiciled in the former resi
dence of Geo W. Browo.an ex-may
or of Long Branch. Gebhardt’s trunk
went there in the same load with the
Lily’s, bis borsps and carriages were
put into the barn, and he is a com
pletely home like dweller. So are Mis.
Langtry’s mother and two nieces, who
lately oame from England. A corrobor
tion of tbe wedlock theory is found in
this assemblage of Mrs. Langtry ’srel
atives under the same toof with Geb-
hardt. Bnt nobody knows for a cer
tainty The positive aunoancement of
a marriage in September was recently
made by ex Judge Bedford and two
other members of the Union Club, as
having been made in Mrs. Langtry’s
presence, at a dit.nor paity, and assen -
ed to by hei. Subsequently she said
that a news article, in whioh that sto
iy was told ?h connection with an ac
count of her California purchases ot
property was “packed with lies.” So
her curious neighbors at the seashore
oan only guess at her while they stare.
Some Idea* of Digni'y.
In a country town not far from B >s
ton there is a m>o who has been try
ing long and hard to get some political
office. A good many things se< med to
get pretty nearly within his grasp,
when, with a sort of mockery, they
would be sure to elude him. tUs
neighbors knew that what chiefly stood
in his way was his opinionized and
overbearing ignorance, but ot course
this point never dawned upon himself.
He only realized that he was waxing
better off, and longed for some sort of
public power.
A* last and chiefly through the in
tervention of a popular neighbor, he
was made a justice of the peace. This
was better than nothing, and it set him
up accordingly. Still, the days went
on and nothing came in his way to af
ford him an opportunity to exercise his
newly found power.
At last a rough and ready neighbor
oime in to testify with regard to som -
thing to which he had been a witness.
He stalked in, in his usual sullen man
r er; his hat on his head, and stood be
fore the new justice.
“Do you know you’re going to be
sworn, sir?'* thundered the new official.
The sullen visitor nodded.
“Then, off with your hat, siif”roar
ed the justice. “Don’t you know any
better than to come into the presence
of me and God with your hat on?”
A negro preacher addressed his flock
with great earnestness on the subject
of miracles as follows: “My belubed
frieus, de greatest of all miracles was
'bout de loaves aud de fishes. Dere
was 5,000 loaves and 2,000 fishes, and
de twelve ’pasties had to eat them all.
De miracle is dey didn’t bust.”
By The Sea.
The U S. War Ship, Swa araoame
to anchor off Norquit, M tea., on Sun
day afternoon, after a run of seven
hoars from New Loudon About two
hour f erwards aon. Sheridan was
biought asbote without any apparen t
discomfort, and is now in his own cot
tage. A large number of strangers
was attracted to the spot. The Swa
taia passed Dumpling light and oast
anchor at more than a mile from 'he
shore, and as soon as the ship was
sighted, the shore and landing pi me
were thronged by curious spec’ators, a*
will as by friends of the general. Af
ter about an hour’s delay, seT.r l
boats left the Swatara tor tbe shore
In the first boat were Mrs. Sheridan
and two sisters of mercy, who have
been faithful attendants upon the gen
eral. A party of sailors was in the
second boat. These boats pulled to
the landing, where the party landed,
and the women proceeded to the tew
cottage for General Sheridan. At the
same time, a launch belonging to the
ship, towing a boat in whioh was n
stretcher whereon the general tested,
steamed in toward the shore to the
north and nearly opposite the cottage.
As the boat came to shallow water,
dozen sailors warled ont to it, and ea e
fully and tenderly liffpd the stretcher
up and bore it to the shore. The
crowd of spectators, among whom ware
a number of photographers, pressed
forward in the hope of getting a view
of the general’s features. They were
disappointed, however, for a large nm
brella which was held ov r him from
tki sun’s. r?ys, also acted as an efftOtu
al barrier to curiosity. The whole
family are evidently very happy at the
successful termination of what was re
garded as a very hazardous experi
meat.
