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.
