WEDDED TO BE A WIDOW.

Mrs. McKee Was Disgusted Because Her Husband Did Not Die on Time. Another matrimonial event booked for the near future is given unusual interest by the bride’s former marriage, ■which created a sensation at the time. The lady’s name is Frankie BiownMcKee, the daughter of the late Hiram Brown, who was a wealthy resident of Oakland. Upon the death of her father Miss Frankie fell heir to $50,000, and she immediately started in to enjoy life at a rather rapid rate. Among her throng of acquaintances was a dashing widow’, who became the bosom friend of the young heiress. Frankie admired the ways and manners of her friend, and thought that if she could only become a widow herself she would possess,, all the attractions which she so greatly envied. She sought the advice of her friend, Capt. Bichard Apgar, who has since died. He told her to marry some man who was dying and offered to secure such a bridegroom. Frankie Brown assented. Capt. Apgar’s friend, Dr. Anson A. DuPuy, was treating for consumption a young printer named McKee. The young man was informed of the young lady’s desire, and also of her offer to pay his expenses until he died and to provide for his funeral. The printer w’as dazzled by the glittering offer and lost no time in consenting to the marriage. Miss Brown called upon McKee, was satisfied with the deathlypallor of his cheeks, and married him. Then she hied her to a dressmaker’s and ordered an elaborate funeral trousseau.

The printer lingered long—too long, his From time to time word was brought to her from the sickbed. The reports which told her that her husband was fast nearing his end were encouraging, and they were usually accompanied with little bills for attendance upon him which she promptly paid. Finally she decided to satisfy herself by ocular demonstration that McKee was not going to repudiate his contract by living. She was proceeding down Broadway, Oakland, one day, with the intention of visiting her husband in this city, but as she was about to board a train a hand w r as laid upon her arm. Turnirg her head, her eyes rested upon a well-built, broad-shoul-dered young man, with the glow of health in his cheeks and a well-round-ed stomach that betrayed great intimacy with the good things of life. It was her husband. She nearly fainted, but recovered quickly and upbraided McKee for not dying on schedule time. She emphatically announced that she’ w’ould not live with him, whereupon he demanded a cash settlement. Frankie honored his demands and they were renewed. The strain was too much for her purse and she fled to Europe to escape her husband’s importunities. When he saw’ that he had lost her McKee took to drink and in about six months died in a blissful state of intoxication.

Then his widow quit hobnobbing with foreign potentates and returned home, taking up her abode in San Francisco. It was not long before Arthur Newton, better known as Arthur Bascombe, an actor, dawned upon her vision. He was fair to look upon, an Englishman, thirty years of age, tall and well built, his blonde curly locks making a nice contrast with the -vidow-bride’s auburn ringlets. Newton belongs to a good family, and since Frankie Brown-McKee has consented to become his bride he has abandoned the stage and now represents an Eastern manufacturing house. The lady will soon fly towards the rising sun, where the nuptials will be celebrated, after "Which she and Arthur will visit, the Oriental countries of the far East. —San Francisco letter.

Fortitude Born of Love.

It was in the year 1880, in a thirdrate city called Neufchateau, in the Department des Vosges, France, about noon, that we were passing, my father and myself, in front of a store where in addition to hardware a supply of ammunition was kept for the use of the regiment there. Suddenly we heard a terrible explosion, and being either thrown or having unconsciously run, I know not, we at any rate found ourselves about twenty yards from where the explosion occurred, and could see part of the roof in the street. We had hardly reached the building when a man came out of it covered with powder, his hair ‘and beard burning, and large pieces of flesh hanging from his bare arms. Never will I forget the horror of the sight; his flesh was charred ahd his clothes partly burned. As he reached the sidewalk he looked around him and called a name I did not catch. Deceiving no answer he went right back into that burning furnace, and in a few seconds came out bearing in his arms his child, a girl of 6or 7. Those nearer to him heard him say: “My darling, are you hurt ? Oh, you are hurt!” While the poor little thing kept saying: “No, papa, I am not hurt, not at all; you are burning, think of yourself,” and yet the blood was trickling from her forehead where the flying debris made a deep gash. Both recovered, though disfigured for life. At the time I thought there was not only one hero, but two.— Philadelphia Press. Kilrain can again become champion by challenging Sullivan after the latter is lodged in a Mississippi jail. Thou shalt always have joy in the evening if thou hast spent the day well.

Dream Memory.

An excellent musician and composer once omitted to note down a melody which occurred to him. Afterward he could not recall it, but later he recollected it in dream, with full harmony and accompaniment, and on waking was able to retain it until he wrote it down. There are endless stories of the hiding-places of missing deeds, and so forth, being revealed in dreams. Let us take one as typical. A landed proprietor in England was involved in a lawsuit in consequence of a claim upon his father’s estate, which he was firmly convinced had been discharged. Judgment, however, was about to go against him, as no voucher could be found. But one night, in dream, his father appeared to him, and said that the papers relating to this affair had been placed in the hands of a solicitor he had not generally employed, but who happened to be engaged for this particular business. In the dream the father said that if this person had forgotten a matter which w r as already old, he would be reminded of it by the mention of a Portuguese gold coin, concerning the value of which there was a dispute at the time. The dream was curiously verified, as the solicitor only did recollect the circumstance on mention of the gold coin. He was then able to produce the missing papers, and the son gained the suit after all. Now, a dream of this kind is only explained in one way. The son had either been present at the interview, or had been made acquainted with the circumstance by his father in the lifetime of the latter. Then he had forgotten all about it, until “latent memory” was awakened in this happy manner in sleep.

Developing a Sudden Attachment.

An amusing incident was witnessed on State street yesterday. A young woman was walking slowly up the street, oblivious of anything or anybody but herself and a white poodle which she held by a bright red ribbon. The young woman carried a parasol with a long hooked handle at a slight angle over her shoulder. Suddenly she felt a violent jerk of the handle of her sunshade and she turned with an angry start to find she had “hooked” a handsome-looking young man, the handle of the parasol having caught in his upper coat pocket. Apologies were murmured, and while the man with the assistance of a friend recovered his equilibrium—and coat —the young woman, with face the color of the poodle’s ribbon, passed quickly out of sight.— Chicago Tribune.

Very Unbecoming.

I Lovely tints in the -wrong place are rest of their charm. A lemon-colored countenance —the peculiar endowment of our pig-tailed brethren -who “hit the pipe”—is unbecoming. It suggest bile going astray, and the inference is correct. Pain beneath the ribs and shoulder blades, constipation, dyspepsia, furred tongue, and sick headaches supplement this indication of the bilious. For liver complaint and its multifarious symptoms, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is an infallible specific. It relaxes the bowels sufficiently, but without griping or violence. To the secretion of bile it gives a due impulse, but banishes an excess of that saffroncolored principle from the blood. Sick headaches, sourness ot the breath, and fur upon the tongue disappear when it is used. It renews digestion, fortifies the system against malaria, counteracts a rheumatic tendency, and remedies inaction of tbe kidneys.

More Prayers than Buttons.

“I have one little girl under my care,” remarked a teacher, “whose dress I have pinned up every day this week. There isn’t a button on the garment. Pins and patience alike became exhausted. ‘Why doesn’t your mother sew buttons on your dress, Mary,’ I asked her. “ ‘She hasn’t time,’ the child replied. “ ‘Couldn’t she do it last night ?’ “ ‘No, ma’am; she had to go to prayer meeting.’”— Buffalo Express.

He Was Misunderstood.

Judge—You have abandoned your wife. Not only that, but before you left you treated her in the most brutal manner, dragging her around the room by the hair of her head. Culprit—What a fuss you all make because I took a lock of my own wife’s hair by which to remember her during my absence.

His Smoke Was Immense.

He had built a street railway from the town depot to the town Court House, a distance of half a mile, and had put on a couple of bobtailed cars, each propelled by a seal-browm mule. He had, further, opened a headquarters office and secured a clerk, and as the “bobs” made their first successful trips his bosom swelled with pride, and he turned to his young man w’ith the observation: “The road has a name—‘The Rushville Street Railway and Transit Company’—but it seems proper that I should have a title. Have you thought of the matter?” “I have, sir,” was the prompt reply, “and I beg to submit the title—‘President, Secretary, and Treasurer of the Rushville Street Railway and Transit Company and General Manager of the Western Hemisphere.’” “Splendid idea!” exclaimed the President, and the printing was at once ordered.

His Ample Apology.

The street car turned a sharp corner, and the man who was holding on to the strap swayed heavily against the high silk hat pertaining to a man who was sitting down. “Sir!” loudly exclaimed the indignant passenger, picking up his damaged tile from the dirty floor, “do you see what you have done by your beastly awkwardness?” “I beg your pardon, sir,” replied the offender with equal loudness, and in a tone of great surprise. “I didn’t know you were sitting there. I supposed you had given your seat to that old lady standing up in front of you. Extremely sorry, sir—extremely sorry!”—Chicago Tribune.
