1 S D I T O K I A L T A L K .

Three out of five men and women in all classes of society have some form of disease of the kidneys or other urinary organs,their sufferings, oftentime, being meet axcrtciating. Dr. Pierce's Kidney Pad if a sure cure for such maladies.— Some of our best citizens have been cur-ed by it. For sale by Hunt & Hunter.

—Dear reader, do you believe in second marriages? This question seem to l>o be fore the houso for discussion and there svoins to bo no lack of ready debaterH. Horno argue that it is wrong to wed a second time; others argue that it is right, provided the second marriaRe lie one of love. &c. If "whatever is is right," ns brother Pope says, thon it is right to mar-ry at many timea af one pleasec, hut was brother Pope's head level when lie said that? For instance, is it right to marry a swond wife when the first ono is still living? Scarcely, you will say. Then that doesn't prove "whatever is is right" a very safe thing to bet on, you see, for this kind of "second marriages" is getting to be "doocedly popular" in many places. Before taking up the main question perhaps it would be well to discuss this point first and find out if possible how many believo in higamy.

—Some days ago Gulteau thought he would like to be allowed to ramble around with a habeas corpus hitched to him. When asked if ho didn't think his hide would be better preserved by remaining in the shade, ho didn't knew but it would. 'Which was a very sane conclusion for an insane man to come to. Give Guiteau one minute of day-light outside his den and there isn't room enough in his yile body to hold half the bullets that would whiz toward him.

—And now comes the horrifying in-telligence that Joan of Arc was not burned a t the stake. The aseertion is made with a challence to prove it a lie. We can't prove the writer a liar but we shan't bet he isn't. We never knew Joan and we wouldn't know the stake now, if we should see it. But we shall keep right on believing that she was burned a t that very stake, and no wick-ed sensational spoopendyke writer is going to shako a solitary pin out of our faith, either.

—Chicago's response to the call for aid in behalf of the Michigan fire sufferers was a very freble ene. But how she did "holler" for help in 1871. And how nobly and lavishly did Michigan pour her treasure into Chicago's lap! That was ten years ago. And how great and strong and selfish is Chicago now. If Republics are ungrateful how many Re-publics does it take to make one Chica-go?

—Prof. Proctor says that water is be-coming scarcer every year and tha t eventually there will not be a drop of water on the earth's surface or within reachable depth from the surface. As the time fixed for . this remarkable drought is only 6,000,000 years from now, we shall not go to the trouble of

inventing any new windmills, tliat's cer-tain.

—Gen. Chester A. Arthur is now Pres-ident of the United States. We believe he will fully realize the responsibility of his position and endeavor to faithfully

perfonn its duties. I t is the greatest «-p-portunity of his life. He can win the good will and gratitude of the whole people by pursuing the same line of policy begun by the lanietttal Garfield.

—About six montlis ago the JOURNAL gave birth to a stunning pun which read—"Never strike a moustache when it is down." Since then some less than 18,478 papers have said the same thing and there are several back towns to hear from. I t will make 'em sick when they learn that we liad that pun copyright-ed.

—Despite the drought Iowa sustains 400 creameries. Her artesian well system is said to be unusually tint'.—Detroit Free Pren.

Which implies that they water their cream before making butter. You're a nice old dairy maid, you are. Suppose when you make maple sugar you water your sap, you'd get rich, wouldn't you?

—Mr. Book waiter, the democratic candidate for Governor of Ohio, is work-ing hard to secure his election. When

he geta through he will be able to sym-pathize with the boy that started out to find the end of the rainbow. He can sympathize with the boy but the boy won't know what to do with him.

—Dr. Lugenbeel,brother of Mrs.Chris-tiancy, has cliallenged Mr. Christiancy to meet him in mortal combat. Mr. C. respectfully but earnestly declines; he prefers to bear the ills he has than fly to arms and be shot full of holes. Isaac is right.

—An eastern paper thinks the braiiiH of this country are all in the New Eng-land States. When the editor of that paper comes out this way treat him kindly. I t will be his first trip away from home, remember.

—Edward Eggleston is writing a-story entitled "Hoosier School Boy." The question that agitates the average pa-rent's mind is, "Where's your school bo j i " not Hoorier school boy?

—A Toronto wife was shot by her hus-band. If she had to die she said they might hang her husband, but if she was going to live she wanted him to live with her. You don't often find such a passive little soul as she.

'—The darkest night is the prince of the hottentols.—Hatekeye. And the darkest day is the Dey of Algiers, eh?

—As though dire calamities enough had not already fallen upon us this year, here conies tli« stomaci) paralyzing In4

telligonce that the peanut crop is a fail-' ure. We might as well goober up, now.

—An Illinois editor talks of going to Arkansas to start a paper called "Qui-nine ft Whiskey." Ho thinks every-body would take it. Jimminvlyes. The subscribers would "renew" about six-teen times a day.

—When Chicago needed help her ap-peals met lilieral responses from Mloh-lgan. When Michigan needs help"* Chi-cago resolves itself into a jug of tar and hammers in the cork.

—"Samuel J . Tilden has left the Cats-kill mountains and gone home." We are all so glad he left the iuoupbilna. He prol>ably didn't feel well enongh to take them with him. r u

—James Gordon Bennett gives fl.OOO to the Michigan sufferers. A poor lady in Lowell gives 50 cents. Bennett did well. This Lowell lady did much bet-ter.

—Delmonico, the groat caterer, smok ed 80 big cigars a day, and they say that's what killed him. Wo should sup-pose so much smoking would have cured him.

—Speaking about the advance in tho cost of provisions, etc. "Everything is coming up in—Eu-rope," remarked a sea sick man on Lake Michigan the oth-er night.

—"There are monrnful eraa in the lives of all great men," was what was written. The intelligent compositor

only changed "eras" to "ears," that 's all.

—Capt. Howgate went away without leaving even his postofflce address. In fact he didn't leave much of anything except his wife and family. They were badly left.

-They are homo from the summer re-sort now, but the head of the family

will give a second mortgage on his place next summer and they will oil go again.

—That Illinois idiot who "thinks Gui-teau is a better man than Garfield" is a monstrous liar. He don't think so. He isn't capable of thinking.

—Bismarck is a heavy capitalist. H« weighs 251 lbs. He is also a very strong man. He can upset a "schooner" in less than a minute.

—Not one of the long line of American Presidents was born in a city. Now do you wonder why we continue to live In the country?

—"And she looked on with a hungry eye," reads a line of a late poem. She ought to let her eye-brows, if it's hun-

BT-—Fred Douglass spent two years in

Europe and nobody intimated to him that there was ever such a person as

Ham.

—If Ingersoll isn't careful he'll spend all his days telling people what he doesn't believe in, and forget to tell what ho does believe ih.

—Chicago's munificent contribution for the relief of the Michigan sufferers will be used to purchase a second hand cook stove, probably.

—If all the John Smiths should got together and organize a political p a r t y -good bye Republicans and Democrats.

—Susan B. Anthony has outlived all the jokes perpetrated at her expense, so far. and is in pretty good health yet.

—In some quarters of Ottawa water sells at 25ct8. a pailful. They seem to be pretty near Ottawater over there.

—Boston has sent$30,000 to the Michi-

gan fire sufferers. So, charity and cul-ture do dwell together, after all.

—Queen Victoria is worth $80,000,000. Wonder If she over grumblee a t the high price of beefsteak.

—Impostors will come around solicit-ing funds "for the firo sufferers." Give them cold shoulder.

—Crow Dog, who shot Spotted Tail, is to bo tried in January. Hang a dog, anyway. , .

—JosieMansfield, J im Fisk'sold fume, is running a gambling don in Paris.

Keno!

—If oysters could liavu their way there wouldn't be any "r" in September.

—Mother Shipton was undoubtedly mistaken as to the year.

Ebrichs Fashion Quarterly for the Fail season of 1881 is before us, and menta a word of commendation. The number is the largest ever issued, coniainiag 120 large quarto |>agea of original and inter-ostiug matter, illustrated with hundmls of excellent engravings, The magazine is divided into twodeiuirtmeuts, both in-teresting to ladies; either of whfch, alone, is worth the trifling subscription price. Of those, the first is devoted to literature, pure and simple, and contains an agreeable melange of interesting, amusing, and instructive articles. A special department, entitled "Our Easy Cliair," is conducted by Hope Lodynrd, who discusses home topics In her well known chatty style. An illustrated "Lesson in Dressmaking'* isunother use-ful feature, and tales, sketchm, and es-says, original and elected, abound. The second division of the magazine ig devot-ed to the illustration and description of the current fashions, and so far as we are competent to judge, the work is faithfully performed. The subscription to the magazine is only 50 cents a year, or 15 cents a copy. The publishers are Ehrich Bros., Eighth Avenue and Twen-ty-fourth St.. New York.

D E A D ! President Garfield died at Ellieron,

Monday night, Sept. 10, 1881, a t 10:35;

just 70 days after ho was stricken down

by the assassin's bullet. lie was bom

at Orange, Cuyahoga Co. Ohio., Nov. 19,

1831. and was in his SOtli year.

At the President's bedside, holding his

poor, emaeiated hand in her own, and

watching with anguish unutterable the

fast vanishing sands of life, sat the

faithful wife, during the closing scenes

of the President's career. Around him

were pther weeping friends and physic-

ians, lamenting their powerlessness in

tho presence of the dark angel of death.

Toward the last tho mind of the suf-

ferer wandered. Ho was once more

liack in Mentor, amid those scenes where

tho happiest hours of his life were spent.

He sat in the dear old homestead again,

with tho loved ones around him, the

aged mother so proud of her big boy,

the faithful wife, the beloved children.

It was a blissful dream that robl)ed

death of its terrors and rendered the dy-

ing man for a moment unconscious of

the cruel rending of his once vigorous

f rame that was constantly going. The

moan of the restless ocean mingled with

the sobs of tho loved ones as the lamp of

life flickered and wont out forever.

'•God's finger touched him, and he s lep t . "

"Give sorrow words; the griof tha t does not speak.

Whispers the o 'er f raught heart and hids it bn-alc."

"Leares have their t ime to fall. And flowers to wjther a t the fall wind'slireath.

And stars to set;—but all. Thou hast aU seasons fo r thine own, O DBATH!"

"There is no DEATH; What seems so is transi-tion ;

Is but a snburb of life elyslan. Whose portal we call death ."

"Thequ le thavonof u s a l l . "

"ITe had kept the whiteness of his soul aiifl thus men o'er him weep . "

The news of the President's death

reached Lowell yesterday morning.

Though not unexpected it nevertheless

came wish a terrible sliock. All had

been hoping against hope, praying

against fate, waiting, waiting, anxiously

waiting for a bright ray to appear, by

the light of which the prayerful wish

of the people might be seen to harmon-

ize with the will of God.

No ray of light came to uu. I t shone

from heaven, but gave us only its shad-

ow. The shadow brought death, and,

burdened with grief, we arc too griev-

ously bowed down to look up. Could

we see tlie light, walking in that light

wo might see our beloved President. He

iu on the other side now; beyond the

reach of the assassin's bullet, free from

tho cruel pains of this life; "safe on the

evergreen shore," where life, love, peace

and joy are eternal.

The Efflgv Mounds of Wisconsin. The mounds of Wisconsin afford to

tho scientific world ono of tho most unique subjects of study, and there is nothing like them in tlie United States, or, so far as known, in tho world. They are called, from their shapes and re-scmblancc to certain animals, emblem-atic of cflijjy mounds. The object of crecting them has been hitherto un-known, and hence their significance has been hidden. There are, however, certain facts now known iii reference to the native tribe, which promises to furnish the clew to their mounding. It is probable that a complete system of ethnology will yet be drawn out from these mounds and other data, which shall solve some of the many problems in reference to tho origin of society,the rise of religion, and other subjects. These subjects are becoming very im-portant Aside from them, however, the mounds ot Wisconsin also have long engaged the attention of the scholars of this country and of Europe. We are happy to learn that the Smith-sonian Institution at Washington is about to undertake the work of resur-veying these works, and that a mono-gram is now being prepared by the Rev. S. D. Peot, of Clinton, Wis., who, as the editor of the American Anti-quarian, is well known. —MaiUton Journal.

^ The "Yellow" Russians.

The use of the epithet "yellow" as applied to the Russians is common to all the nntionsof Western and Central Asia. Mussulman writers designate tho Russians by the title of "Beni ul Asfar," "Sons of Yellowness." Byron had no doubt beard this epithet used by the Turks when he wrote the lines in ••Chihie Harold:" •'D&rk Mucblar, bis son, to tho Danube has

sped. the yellow-haired Giaurs view hla horse-

tails with dread!"

The appellation appears to be one of very long standing, too. for tho Persian poet Nizami, who wrote in the thir-teenth century of our era. S|)eak8 of "Saudai Hind o Safrai Rus" ("The blackness of India and the yellowness of Russia") Orientals always speak of the Western European nations by the general appellation of "Farangs,* or Franks, but they do not include tlie Russians -among the Farangis. They call them Roos. which tin! illiterate have corrupted into Ocroos; the Os-manlis also call them ••Muskoob," "Muscovite;" but I have never heard this word used by any other Easterns. The English are reckoned as a Ferangi nation. Of coHrao, Oriental ideas on the subject of geography and ethnol-ogy are very vague. The writers speak of "the seven infidel kingdoms of the Farang," which has been supposed by some to indicate the seven Electors of the old German Empire, bnt is proba-bly a mere general expression, like oth-ers in uso among them, such as the sev-en heavens, the seven seas, the seven climes, etc. The epithet "kara" (black) is a very common one among all the Turkish speaking races, and is gener-ally used in a flattering sense—an olive complexion, with raven hair, being the favorite Turkish type of beauty. Hence romarkablo handsome men sre often called "Kara Osman," "Kara Mnstafa," Black. Osman or Mnstafa I have nev-er heard the epithet applied to Euro-peans; but tho Turcomans have prob-ably adopted it with refercnca to tho English simply as an antithesis to the yellowness of the Russians.—Cor. Ion-don News.

Boston Baked Beam. Tho famo of Boston bakod beans has

spread far aud wide, but it was not uu* til within a few years that tho world at

" .an opportunity to judge for ing; tlie morita of the ar-baked beans have rooelvod of cannors, Boston's fav

baa acquired a fresh popular-ity. The suggestion that baked beans could bo canned to advantage came from a Colorado dealer in that line of goods, who. in convoreation with a canned goods manufacturer in this city in the spring of 1877 hazarded tho opinion that this food product would meet with ready sale in tho West Tho manufacturer was favorably impressed with tho idea and an order for twenty cases was placed then and there. It mattera not that circumstances provont-ed Colorado from becoming the first bean-eating state outside of New Eng-land; tho credit for the suggestion still belongs to the "far west." 'The Boston firm above referred to sent sample nack-agos of canned goods to Messrs. IL K. & F. B. Thurbor, of New York, who pronounood them "just the thing." Chioago also took kindly to tho new food product, and tho business soon grow to largo proportions. Although tboro are sovorat oonoerns in this city engaged In canning bakod beans, ono firm practically monopolize tho bnsi-ness; and In making a statement of their oporations, tho rapid growth of tho industry is well indicated. In 1877, tho first yoar thoy bogan the business, tho sales of canned baked beans were confined almost exoluslvelv to tho east-ern states, aud about 200,000 cans were marketed. In 1879 tho trade had ex-tended all over the country, and some 876,000 cans wore di-posod of. In 1880 Europe and Australia had become pur-ohasers and the sales amounted to 900,-000 cans, while tho present year the firm proposes to pact and ship away 1,600,000 cans. South Amoiica Is Ju«t taking hold of the article, and tho de-mana from this souroe will swell this year's trade very considerably. After a repeated experiment It Is believed that the height of perfection has been reached, and that canned baked beans are identioal with the dish which for so many years has been ono of Bosto^'a institutions. Thoy are baked in steam retorts, and are so prepared as to make the quality uniform. Packed in three pound cans, containing two and threo-quarters pounds of boans and ono-quar-ter of a pound of pork, thoy may be shipped to any part of the globe. Their introduction into .Europe and Australia under the name of "beans and bacon," the homely title "poi '- and beana" not being attractive to the fastidious for-eigner. When H is romemberod that in the centennial year canned baked beans were an unheard-of luxury, the fact that the world will consume at least 4,600,000 pounds of the product this year may be accepted as a proof that there is something new under the sun."—I lanufacturer's Oazette.

Grecian Beauty. Much has been said in praise of Grec-

ian beauty, and the men are handsome In every sense of tho word. Wo might well imagine them to have been models of Phidias and Praxiteles. Their largo eyes, black as jot, aparkle with glances of fire, while the long, silky eyelashes soften the expression and give a dreamy appearance of melancholy. Their teeth are small, white and well set, a fine regular profile, a pale olive complexion and a tall, elegant figure realize an ac-complished type of distinction. As to the women, they seem to have left physical perfection to tho men; some poasesa fine evea and hair, but as a rule they have bad figures, and some defect in the face generally spoils the good features. It is among them, however, that the old Oriental Customs are most strictly preserved; while the men are gradually undergoing the process of civilization they, in a moral point of view, remain stationary, and are just as they were fifty years ago. It may, indeed, be said that, with the exception of Athens, the women possess no indi-vidual exiatence, and count as nothing in aoclety. The men have reserved every privilege for themaelvea, leaving to their helpmates the care of the house and family. In the town whore serv-ants are kept, they are of tho poorest class of peaaants, who know nothing, and receive miserable wages. The families are generally largo—seven or eight little children demand a mother's conatant attention. Tho morning be-gins by directing the work of each servant, repeating tho aame thing a

Why Uncle Pleasant Married. Undo Pleasant Batkina is GO and his

wife 72. Tho other day a friend said: "Uncle Pleasant, why in the m'uehief did you marry a woman old enough to be your mother?" "You see, boy," be replied with a sigh, " I was wurkin' for L«»g John Freemen, in Hanover, when I was jest 18, and Sara Ann Russ. old Mrs. Russ' only daughter, was SO if she wnr a day. At every qulltin' she used to chuse me for a partner, and every-body said it 'peared like she wur a courtin' me. She gimme four pair oot-tou socks and a heap of things, but still 1 didn't have no notion of her. Well, one Christmas eve I went to the old •woman's and had hardly sot down be-fore Sara Ann brought me some sweet potato pie, which she knowed 1 was monstrous fond of. While I was eatin' it I heard the old woman up-atairs a-countin' silver dollars. Now, thar was no plaster to the cellin\ and tho vp-atairs floo' had cracks in it aa wide :i8 my finger. So, you aeo, I could hear the jingle of tho money jeat aa well as if 1 had been up thar myself. — When she had counted 906, 1 drawed up to Sara Ann and popped the ques-tion. In course she said she'd have me, and the next Thursday we was married. Now, what do you think 1 found out the next day? Why, that tho old womaii didn't have but thirty Mex-ican dollars, and that she counted them •over and over jest to fool me.

THE WHITE SATIS DOMINO.

Tho period of Napoleon's carecr, when at its zenith, is full of romantio advonturcs as connected with thu his-tory of tho officers' lives that served under the great captain. Ho was quick to obsorvo merit and pronint to reward it, and this It was that maue his follow-ers so devoted to hlro, and so anxious to distinguish thomsolves by prowess In battle, and strict soldierly conduct in tho Emperor's service.

Colonel Eugene Morvllle was an at-tacho of Napoleon's slaff. Ho was a soldier In tho true HCIISU of the w o r d -devoted to his prnfusslon, and bravo ns a lion. Though very handsome, and of Hue bearing, ho was of Immbl t birth—a mere cldld of tho camp, and had followed the drum nnd buglu from boyhood. Every step In the line of |iromotion had I oo i won by tho stroke of his sabre; and I Is Inst proniotloii from major of cavalry was for a gallant deed which transpired on the nattlo-lield beneath the Emperor's own eye. Murat, lhat prince of cavalry officers, loved him liko a brother, and taught him all that his own good taste and natural instinct had not led him to ac-quire before.

It was tho carnival season in Paris, and young Mervllle found himself nt tho masked ball In the French Opera House. Better adapted In his taste lo tlie field than the boudoir, he flirts but little with Ihe gay figures that cover the floor, nnd joins hnt seldom In the giddy waltz. But at last, while stand-ing thoughtfully, and regarding the as-sembled throng with a vacant eye, his attention was suddenly aroused by the appearance of a person in a white sat-in domino, tho universal elegance of whose figure, manner and bearing con-vinced all that her faco and mind must be equal to her person in grace and loveliness.

Though in so mixed an" assembly, still there was a digniiy and reserve in the mannor of the svhito domino that ri'ther repulsed the idea of a familiar address, nnd it was some time before the voung soldier found courage to spenk to her. Some alarm being giv-en, there was a violent rush of tho throng toward tho door, where, unless assisted, tho lady would have material-ly sufibred. Eti-'cne "Mervllle offered his arm, ami with his broad'shouldera and stout frame warded off the danger. It was a delightful moment; the lady t-poke the purest French; was witty,fan-ciful and captivating.

"Ah! lady, pray raise that mask, and reveal to me the charms of feature that must accompany so sweet a voice and so graceful a form as you possess."

"You would perhaps bo disappoint-ed."

"No, I am sure n o t " "Are you so very confident?" • "Yes. I feel that you are beautiful.

It cannot bo otherwise." 'Don't be t- o sure of that," said the

domino. -Have vou never heard of the Irish |K)ot M'oore's story of tho yelled prophet Khorassan—how, when he disclosed his countenance. Its hid-eous aspect killed his beloved one? How do you know lhat I shall not turn out a veiled prophet of Khorassan?"

"Ah, lady, your every word convinc-me to the contrary," replied the en-

raptured soldier, whose heart began to feel as it had never felt before; ho was already in love.

Sho eluded his efforts at discovery, but permlttea him to hand her to her carriage, which drove off in the dark-ness, nnd though he threw himself upon his floetest horse, be was unable to overtake her.

The young French colonel became moody; he had lost his heart, and knew not what to do. He wandered hither and thither, shunned bis former place* of nronMnwit avoided bla mili-tary companions; and, in short, was as miserable as a lover could well be,

is disappointed. One night, just af-ter ho had left his hotel on foot, a l r muffled to the very can slopped

"Well, monsieur, what would with mo?" asked Uie soldier.

"You would know tlie name of the white domino?" was tlie reply.

" I would, indeed." replied the of-fictr. hastily. "How can it be done?"

'Follow me." "To the end of tbe earth, if it will

bring me to her." "But you must be blindfoldod." "Very well." "Step into this vehicle." " I am at your command" And away rattled the young soldier

and bis strange companion. ••Tills may be a trick," reasoned

Eugene Mervillc; "but 1 have no fear of personal violence. I am armed with this tru-ity sabre, und can take care of mvself."

Bnt tbero was no cause for fear, since he ooon found the vehicle stopped, and he was led blindfolded into a house. When tho bandage was removed from his eyes, he found hiuiself In a ricbly-furnishvd boudoir, and before him stood the domino lust as he had met her at tbe masked ball. To fall upon bis knees, nnd tell her how much be had thought of hor since their separation, that Tils thoughts had never left her. that he loved her devotedly, was as natural as to breathe, and ho did so most gallantly and sincerelv.

' Shall I believe all you sky?" "Lady, let me prove it by any test

you may put .upon mc." "Know, then, that the feelings you

avow are mutual. Nay. unloose your arm from my waist. I have something more to say."

"Talk on forever, ladyt Your voice is music to my heart and ears."

'Would you m irry me. knowing no more of me than you now d o r '

"Ye<. if you were to go to the veiy altar mnske-lf he replied.

"Then I will test you." "How. lady?" "For ono yoar be faithful to the love

you have professed, and I will be yours —as truly as Heaven shall spare my life."

•O. cruel, cruel suspense!" "You demur?" "Nay lady; I shall fulfil your injunc-

tion as I have promised."

you

"If at the expirali n of a year you do not hoar from mo. the contract sh ill bo mill and void. Take this half ring," she continuud, "and when I supply tho broken portl-m I will be your'."

Ho kissed tho little emblem, swore again and a^ain to bo faithful, and, pressing her hnnd to his lips, bade her adieu. Ho was conducted away ngain as inysterioiisly ns he had been brought tliilhcr, nor could ho by any possible means discover where he had been, his companion rejecting all bribes, nnd even refusing to answer the simplest questions.

Months rolled on. Colonel .Merville wns true to his vow, nnd happy in tho nnticipation of love. Suddenly he was ordered on an embassy to Vienna, thnt gayest of all European capitals, about the time that Napoleo.i was planning to marry the Archduchess Maria Lon-isa. Tho youn r colon -1 was hnndsomo, manly, and nlr-ady distinguished in arms, and became nt once a great ta* vorite nt court, every ellort being made by tho women to ea tivate him, but in vain; bo was constant aud true to his vow.

But his heart was not m 'do of sloii'-; the very fa -t that ho had entertain.ul such tender feelings for t .e white dom-ino bnd doubtless ma hi him more sus-ceptible tlmn before. At last he mot tho young Baroness Caroline Waldorff, and In splto of his vows alio captivated him. and he eecrotly cursed tbe engage-ment ho hnd so blindly made In Paris. Sho seemed to wonder at what she bo-lieved to be his devotion, and yet the distanco thnt he mnlntalned. The truth was. his sense of honor was so great, thnt although he felt he really loved the young baroness, and even that she returned his affection, still he bad giv-en his word, and it was sacred.

The satin domino wns n» longer tho Ideal of his heart, but assumed the most repulsive form in his Imngination, nnd became, In plnco of bis good angel, his evil genius I

Well, time rolled on; he wns to re-turn In n few days; It wns once more the carnival season, and In Vienna,too, that pay city. He joined In the festiv-ities of the masked ball, and what won-der filled his brain when about the middle of the evening the white dom-ino stood before him, in the same white sntln dress he had seen her wenr a year before nt the French Opera House In Paris. Was It not a fancy?

"I come. Colonel Eugene Merville, to hold you to your promise," she said, laying a hand lightly upon his arm.

"Is this reality or a dream?" asked the amazod soldier.

•Come, follow me, and you shall see that It is a reality," continued the aask, pleasantly.

" I will."

'Have you been faithful to your promise?" asked tho domino, as thoy retired to a neighboring saloon.

-Most truly in net, but, alas! I not in hear t "

'Indeed!" •It is loo true, lady, that I have seen

and loved another, though my vow to "on has kept me from saying so to tor."

"And who is this that you thus love?" "I will be frank with you, und you

will keep my sccret?" "Most religiously." "It is the Baroness Von Waldorff,"

he said, with a sigh. "Aud you really love her?" "Alas, only too dearly," said tho

soldier, sadly. "Nevertheless, I must hold you to

your promise. Here is the other half of the ring; can you produce ils mate?"

"Here it is," said Eugene Merville. "Then I, too, keep my promise!"said

the domino, raising her mask, and showing to his astonished view tho face of the Baroness Von Waldorff.

'Ah, it was the sympathy of true love thnt attracted mo, after all!" ox-claimed tho young soldier, as be pressed her lo his heart

Sho had seen aud loved him for his manly s|.irii and character, and, hav-ing found by Inquiry that he wns wor-thy of her love, sho had managed this delicate intrigue, and bad tested him, and n<>w gave to him her wealth, title, and evory tiling.

From the Northwestern Ropublicah of Sept :t., iiublished at Wauseon, Ohio, we clip the following excellent report o f t he golden wedding of Rev. & Mrs. Geo.

Barnum of that city, parents of Mrs. E. R.Craw nnd Mrs, Jas, W. Hine of Lowell, The report also embraces some interest-ing biographical observations:

The flfth anniversary of tho wedding of Rey, & Mrs, George Barnum was cel-ebrated at their residence on Beech St. bust Tuesday, by a reunion of their fam-ily. All of their tun children now liv-ing were present except Walter M. Btr-num, of Paradise, Nevada, who was de-tained by important business. There were present Mrs, James R, Bunyan, of Kendallville, Ind,, and her two sons: Mr, & Mrs, Russell Barnum, of Pioneer, Ohio; Mrs. Conway W. Young and daughter, of Marion, New York: Mrs, Edwin R, Craw and Mrs. James W. Hine aud daughter, of Lowell, Mich,: Mrs, and Mrs, Herbert B, Johnson nnd Miss Vema E, Barnum of Chicago: Mr. Augustine Barnum, of New York city; Rev, & Mrs, Samuel W, Dickinson, ao-companied by their son and daughter, of Jefferson, Ohio, and Mr. Vernon G. Batntam. No invitations were jflven, and the only |)ersons present were mem-bers of the famib', and the following named relatives of the family: Mrs. Sophia Stevens, a sister of Mrs. George Barnum, Hon, Georgfe A. Smith and wife, Hon. LeGrando Smith, and Mr. & Mrs. F. Hart Smith, of Somerset, Mich., the three gentlemen being nephews of Rev. & Mrs. Barnum.

George Barnum and Ophelia Smith were married Seiiteiaber 6, 1881.'. in Bethel, Conn., the home of their ances-tors, by Rev. Erastus Cole. In 1883 Mr.; Barnum set out on horseback for a trip through New York State, crossing the Hudson river in the vicinity of Sing Sing, and pushing on through what was then a new country, to Buffalo, where he visited bis brother, Mr, Austin Bar-num. While there he decided toaccom-pany a friend on a trip to Michigan, and so pleased was he with the latter State that he purchased some land in Wood-stock. Lenawee county. Two years lat-er he determined to make his home iu Michigan, und with his family passed over the tirst steam railway constructed in America, between Alliany and Sche-nectady, traveling from Schenectady to Buffalo on a canal boat, and from tho latter place to Detroit across Lake Erie. His first pastorate was in Leone, Jack-son county: Ins second in Franklin, Lenawee county, and bis third in Medi-na, in the same county. He afterwards preached in Somerset tbiee years, when hoarseness compelled him to abandon the pulpit. He has never regained his voice so as to sjieak in a clear tone during tbe last fifteen years,

Mr, and Mrs, Barnum, who for the last twrlve years have been residents of Wuuseon,rare to IM? aODgraiuIated thatfif-ty years of married-life have passed'over their heads without bringing them more bereavements by death. Their eldest daughter, Margaret, diod in'18-16,-at the age of twelve years, ana two o f ' t he i r grand-children have died in Infancy. They have nijieteen grand-children fiow living. Thoy themselves have the prom-ise of many years of happy old agd»ttav-mg retained more than the a r«pge strength of persons who haye lived-lev enty-one years. We tender them o u r

congratulations. The day was {Kissed in a pleasant'fam-

ily reunion, many tokens of love being presented to Mr. and Mrs. Barnum, and they found fifty dullnrs in gold under each uf their plates at dinner, us memen-toes of the fifty golden years. The gif t of gold was considerably iiu reased lie-fore the end of the day. To-ilay Mr. and Mrs, iiarnum and their friends gotoMo-renci, where they have been invited to a picnic arranged in their honor. Mr. Iiarnum preached in Morenci while set tied in Medina, it lieing hip custom in all his ininutry to preach in oeiglibor-hoods near bis own church. He organiz-^d the Qpngregational church in Morenci as well as the one in Franklin and the ono in Somerset. Mr, and Mrs, Barnum's old friends iu Medina and Morenci have combined to receive tbc latter place to-day, and af ter tho festivities of tliat oc-casion tbe family will soon be scattered, several of the children of our esteemed fellow townsman and bis wife returning to their homes before the end of the week,"

It was the JOURNAL editor's good for-tune to join tbe reunion at Morenci above alluded to. Tlie day was profita-

bly and pleasantly spent. Large num-bers of friends of the honored couple

from Morenci and Medina bad every-thing srranged for the recepticn and

pleasure of the visitors, A fine banquet was spread in the basement of OB* of the churches to which scoreft of frfem did ample justice. The dmri i i aud ium wan thrown opeii for stfeial _ course, Kumerous speeches wero made ' appropriate to the occasion, and excel-lent music, a poem, &c,, were rendered.

It was a day long to bo remembered; an event in the lives of W o aged' and most worthy people that they will look back to as they pass on to the closing chapter of-their life work here, as ono of the brighfftit pages, in th t f r diary jjf events.
