The sensation in Richmond society is the m'uriaeof Will B. 3eds to Mig Jennie Gaar. It lis the culmination of a clandestine courtship that has long furnished food for gossips and unlimited anxiety for the bride's parents who, from the beginning, made no secret of their disapproval. Wnite threshing wheat on the John EL McCampbell farm, near Bockville, on Saturday, the engine belonging to Henry Burford explcded, Thomas Overman, Henry Burford and Joeeph Glosson were

Sunday morning, Adam Lipki ight, a notorious joung rough, shot and instantly killed Joseph Sheets, at apioniabout. eight miles from E vans vi lie. A picnic had been given by a cousin of the murderer, at which there was considerable drinking and disorder, and the shots were fired to intimidate , a crowd th at Upknight feared, and not with the intention ot killing anybody. Saturday, O. K. Pollard, a prominent attorney of Delphi, gave bonds in the sum of $40fr for his appearance to answer an indelicate charge brought by Amanda Peterson a grass widow of Bringhurst, Carroll county. The defendant haB been a leading attorney at the Delphi bar for fifteen years, has a state reputation, and was a candidate for .district judge last October. Blackmail is suspected. The Farmers' Bank of Richmond has closed its doors for the pre sent, on account of bad investments in manufacturing enterprises. The immediate cause of the suspension was a rush of depositors, who were uneasy on account of a rumor that things were not in a safe condition. A meeting of the directors was to have been held Thursday morning.and it is generally believed that all claims will be satisfactorily adjusted, and the bank open a usual in a short time. The superinte nent of the toi.ee grading the C , H. & G. rail- oad, near Hope, arrived in Columbus, and informed Colonel Scott that most of his men had struck for higher wages i nd wanted to know what to do about it. "Go back and tell them to go to hell," said Colonel Scott. Wednesday, Colonel Scott went up to the work and found a foil force running, a

new set of men having been secured; and

said to the foreman: 'Well, what did you tell the strikers?11 Just what you said, to ga to hell" "Wbat did they dor said Scott. Struck straight for Greensburg." Professor T. J. Charlton, the superintendent ot the Reform Scho.l at Plainfield, complains that children are often sent to the inst-tution in a diseased or idiotic condition, and the Attorney General, in giving an opinion Tuesday relative to their admission, says, "that -if a physician has certified falsely, and it apappears on inspection that a boy is idiotic or. effected with contagious diseases or epilepsy, it will be lawful for the board of trustees to make such regulations as will prevent his enteiing or exclude him from the institution if any such debility should become manifest afterwards. The attention of county courts is called to the unlawful' methods adopted for securing the admission of ineligible boy s to this institution. The approprihtion for the State Bureau of Statistics has been exhausted, and, right in the heaviest of the work on the annual report for 1888, the department is stranded; As there is no ivailable appropriation for the payment of expenses, the chief of the bureau has been compelled to dispense with the services of his assistants and is now endeavoring to get out the annual report himself, with: the assistance ot the chief, clerk. It will, however, be a very small volume, and will contain just bucA information as they are able to get together at no expense. In its present crippled condition the State Bureau of Statistics is only a mockery, and such a report as may be expected from it would be more damag ing than creditable to the State. The fault lies in the failure of the Legislature to makeithe necessary appropriation.

At Richmond, Me., the Xancpin House and stables, owned by J. L. Robinson, burned Monday morning, with contents. The guests narrowly escaped. Several horses were burned. Some little excitement was created in New York, Tuesday, , by trie announcement of the failure of Wm. Ballon & Co., broKers. The cause of the suspension was a shortage in margins. , Dr. Norvftx Green, president of the Western Union telegraph company, 'has arrived home in the steamship Alaska. Afterashor'; talk with General Eckert, Dr. Green thanked General Ecker t, Superintendent 'rinker,Superintendenfe Humstone and other officers of the company for their able management o the strike. Judge Jeremiah S; Black died, Sunday, at his home in York, Pennsylvania. He was a distinguished statesman, lawyer and jurist. In 1857 he was appointed Attorney-general of the United States, and in 1860 he became Secretary of State under Buchanan. Since then he has held no office. - He was quoted extensively as good authority on points of constitutional law. His career was of great honor and usefulness. ;The steamship New Orleans arrived at New York Monday, from New Orleans, and reported that, twenty miles south of Long Branch, she saw a British , steamer ashore, with a tug alongside. The forward half of a coasting schooner was passed off Ilog Island, the vessel having evidently been cut in two by a steamer. A sunken three-masted schooner was also passed. The "black flag" was not attached to any visible part of these wrecks. A great oil fire broke out at Franklin, Pa., Sunday, whese extent is undeter-. mined, and the "Hollow" was a mass of flames. The appliances for extinguishing fire were utterly inadequate, and when the entire fire' department of Oil City arrived it proved almost equally helpless, although the members worked manfully; Hew the fire originated is not known, but the losses are immense. The

flowing oil is mnning in burning rivulets in all directions, and sach a scene has seldom been witnessed in the oil districts.

THE WEST: Serious drouth prevails in portions of Ohio. In Tuscarawas county tho corn is withered and the pastures brown and crisp. ...... The Cincinnati sausage-makers are likely to secure a reduction in their hours of labor, and perhaps an advance in their wages.

The men who recently blew oven a safe at Clayton, Iowa, and secured $10,000 iu notes and cash, have been captured.. One was- a justice in the township, and another an insurance agent. Many farmers in Champaign county, Til., planted corn obtained from southern Kansas, and now report that the stalks are fifteen feet high, but there is no prospect of ears. Advance sheets of the annual report of the board of trade of Cincinnati show that the total product of the manufacturers of the city for the year was $194,572,000. This is an excess' of 8,000.000 over the value of the product of last year. The car shops at Dayton, Ohio, paid its workmen 875,000 io checks for fear tbafc its messenger might be robbed in carrying the currency7 one mile from the bank. Fifteen hundred men quit work for this reason, and paraded Hie streets with a brass band. One h indred and twenty-five of the converts of last winter's revival, conducted by Harrison, were baptised at the two Methodist churches at Decatur, 111,, and next Sunday they, with several hundred others on probation, will be received 3 mo full membership. Another bank, the Enehangs, of Ada, 0.. has been compelled to closa its doors because of nnfoiiunste speculation in mining stocks and futures by its president. The depositors will get about twenty-five cent3 on tho dollar. Luckily, there are not very many of them. . A father at Odar Rapids, Iowa, shot and killed in court, Monday, theravisher of his duuf'hter, a co'o; ed man named Hereon. The daughter in court gave a most pitiful account of the awful crime oi Herson, and the act. of the father is looked upon with a great deal, of liberality by the people of the city." Hereon bore a bad reputation. ' Bee keepers of Logan county, HI., predict a light crop of fall honey. They say that there is not half the honey plants and weeds to be seen at present that there was a year ago. The June yield from white clover was unusually large, but those posted in bee matters declare that the honey secured that month will exceed what is obtained duiing the remainder of the season. Considerable excitement has been caused by the discovery of what is supposed to be a rich vein of lead and si yer about ten miles up the St. Joe river, near St. Joe, by Mr. W. Bicaby and Captain Barnes. Specimens have been secured, which, upon analysis, proved to be 70 per cent, lead and 15 per cent silver. The land has been leased for mining purposts. The San Franci?co Bulletin publishes a letter bron ght down t n the steamer St. Paul, from Oonalaska, which arrived on Saturday morning, announcing a large gold discovery near the Yukon river, Alaska. O wing to the extreme cold winter 28 degrees below zero it is impossible to do much prospecting. The miners who made the discovery were a party fitted out by F. Scbieflin, who made the discovery in Arizona, and who cleared over $1,000,000 in that section. 'Toj onto, IU., is threatened with an accession of wealth. Not long ago Mr. Henry Smith, a lumberman, bored for water back, of his house in the southeastern part of the villiage. The drill' went down 130 feet, and then a sizzing was heard, and a volume of gas struck the persons near. The whole neighborhood, of course, turned out at once. A long metal tube was sunk, and the top of the well covered to prevent the gas from escaping through any but the proposed orifice. Several other " wells were subsequently dug, and gas ascends from two of the n. No attempt has yet been made to bore for oil. The federal authorities at Chicago. Tuesday, seized dresses and other wearing apparel from Mrs. L. N. Parish, on the ground that they had been imported in defiance of the customs laws. The woman has made twenty trips across the ocean, by her own confession, to purchase second hand dresses from the no bility, and succeeded in having the trunks passed free of duty, ofiering in explanation that the dresses were wearing apparel. The authorities there assert that the case is not an isolated one, and have sworn out a warrant for her arrest on the ground of perjury. THE SOUTH: Genre ox sbcfc and killed Tom Gill, at Hickmau, Ky., for refusing to lend him his buggy. At Blue SprinKB, Tenc, a bolt of lightning killed twenty-seven hogs and two cowr?, which were Keeking shelter under a tree.

A sortie was made by the French on the 6th and 7th insts., and heavy losses inflicted on Annamese. The assailants lost two killed and six wounded. It is stated that France has informed the powers that any ships attempting to land arms in Annam will be liable to seizure. The Soir believes this is a warning specially aimed at large exports of arms from American ports. John Devoy, editor of the Irish Nation, a!!feer ssrving a sentence of sixty days in the penitentiary, on Blackwell's Island, for libeling Auust Belmont, returned to his desk Saturday. He says he has not changed his opinion of Mr. Belmont. With reference to the reported outbreak of the foot and mouth disease among Canadian cattle in Bristol, the shippers in Montreal do not oredit it, and the veterinary college officers declare emphatically that it does not exist in Canada. Two thousand Bedouins attacked the sanitarium at Sinkat and were repulsed with a loss of sixty killed. The soldiers defending the place lost seven men and the civilians five. Sinkat is fifty laiies fromSuakin, a town in Nubia, on thcKed sea. The attack web incited by the false propnet. It is rsported that Suakin is fdso threatened with attack. The riots at Ekaterinosly, caused, by animosity against the 3Te s, were continued on the 30th inst. The mob attacked the Jewish quarter and destroyed many houses and liquor stores belonging to the Jews. It is now reported that a hundred persons were killed or wounded during the rioting in the town. A riot broke but at New Pesth, Hungary, Tuesday, against a Jewish baker, whose house was wrecked. The mob was dispersed by the police, who arretted liity persons and wounded a large numbex. There was also an anti-Semitic riot at Oldenburg, Germany, where the mob was charged by the cavalry, and eightynine persons arrested. Several insurgents, who took par k in the revolt at Santo Domingo, have been executed at that place. They refused ro make any disclosures in relation to the revolutionary p'ot. There have been no disturbances at Valencia or Seville, but some arrests of civilians and sub-ofiicers have been made at those places, as measures of precaution. P. J. Coleman, who was one of the par

ticipants in the attempt to blow up the mansion house in London, makes tho re niarkable statement that the iaformation which led to Careyfp death was furniahed to the agitators by no less a person than Lord Harrington, under secretary of state for India, and brother of the murdered Lord Frederick Cavendish, who wanls to see every, no connected with that crime killed. There was serious noting in the town of Boatbridge, Lanarkshire, Scotland, on Saturday, between parties of Orangemen and Catholics, and twenty-six of the participants in th disturbance were arrested. Two police officers were dangerouaJy woundect in quieting the disorder. The rioting was lesumed Tuesday morning, when a number of Gatiiolies, armed with picks and haminers, paraded the mam street of the town in search of their religious antagonists and resisted the efforts of a force of police sent to disperse

Brooklyu Eiigle. Jefferson lived at Monticello in the nieridian of his intellectual manhood the pairon of seats of learning, the friend of the great of the earth as a citizen of Virginia, and his mountain home was as accessible as the laborer'ii cottage. His predecessors in the great office he filled dwelt like him in mc dest homes Adains in a New England villa x& and Waahingto i at Mount Vernon, where his tounificent hospitality made his Virginia home

seem a great mansion, whereas it was not

more pretentious, save as to grounu?,

than are the homes of mechanics to-day Madison's home was the finest of all the President's and he died so poor that his widowr, to get the means to pay her board in Washington sold her public papers to Congress. He had no children, and yet did not leave wealth sufficient to keep his homestead in the possession of his family ten years after his death. Monroe the author of the doctrine that is to-day the guide and monitor of the nation in its dealings with other nations, lived for his country and died homeless. Long before his death he sold his country home in Virginia and became an inmate of his daughter's house in new York, where he died.: Jackson, like Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe, owned a farm

and although he had no children, the State of Tennessee bought the Hermitage to save it from the auctioneer s hammer, and shelters there to-day the last descendant of his wife, who, f she were not so protected, would be a dependant on public charity In this city at the present time is Septimiu, the seventh and youngest grandchild of Thomas Jeffersonan aged lady who, through Congressman Kobinson, appealed and appealed in vain to the last Congress for a pension to keep her from suffering for the comforts of life. The descendaats ol! the men who pioneered the country through its dark days of war and aided it with their splendid mental energies and patrotism are for the most part, like Mre. Meikleham, poor and they are like her, aliens to the historic homes cf their forefathers, while many of them are wanders on the face of the earth There is scarcely a historic family m this country living on its an. cestral acres and perpetuating the hospitable fame of its distinguished ancestry. Mount Vernon is owned by the woman of this country, and the people of Virginia, who have in theiir veins the blood of Washington: are, for the most part, verv poor. Mountpelier has been sold several times within the past twenty-five years, a d now is owned by a -Bichraond merchant, who will live there in summer, The hermitage, as has been said, belongs to the State of Tennessee, and the favorit Montieello all the world knows. The Presidents succeeding Jackson were men of like mind in t heir appreciation of the greatness of their office and the descendants of the majority of them are to-day richer in blood than they ere in io comes. So also are the families of men like Clay, Calhoun, Benton, Randolph and Webster. The example of patrotism set by the founders of the Government has been . potent and powerful, and it has been honor enough to be a grandson or a daughter, a niece or a son of a President The descendants of these first, of our rulers are not numerous now. In Virginia are a few of the Washington family of the Lawrence Washington branch, and of the Madisons there are none. Monroe has one or two nieces and a nephe w living, and Jackson has not a living descendant. The Adams family is the best represented of the six. Jefferson has a number of descendants and Mrs. Meikleham is his nearest living relative. She is the youngest daughter of his eldest daughter, Martha, who married a Randolph, and is the last of her seven daughters. Mrs. Randolph left a large family of children, but all are dead save this daughter, now a woman of elderly years

and slender purse. She has 'been . sup

ported for many years by her danghter,

who was an employe in one of the departments at Washington. Jefferson had no

sons, and his only other child, Maie Ep

pes, died during his second term. Mrs.

Randolph was a noble Virginia matron,

and Jefferson's last days were made

wretched by the thought that he should have to leave her poor. The home was sold and the fund that was so generally

proposed to be raised for her was never

secured. Stories of Animals.

Near the head of Moosehead Lake lives the family of George G. Luce. Hearing noise in his pantry at midnight, they went down stairs and-found a bear helping himselfto the family provisions. After a desperate fight he mm dispatched. He weighed 400 poundB. A. sportsman sat very still in the woods and began to whistle an air to a red squirrel in a tree near by. In a twinkling the little fellow sat up, leaued his head to one side, and listened. In a moment more he scrambled down the trunk, came wit hin four feet of the sportsman, and looked at him with eyes befiiming with pleasure. On changing the tune the squirrel skipped away. A crowd of spectators were amused recently by the gambols t a large ape-that was lording it over a number of small monkeys confined in a gret iron cage in the Jardin ties Plautes. Bruit and many other things were thrown into the cage, and the ape was al ways the first to seize them. Some one suddenly threw in a small hand looking glass, with a strong wooden frame. The ape blandished this about like a hammer, but, suddenly perceiving the reflection of himself in the glass, he stopped, and for u moment look

ed puzzled. Then he darted his head be

hind the glass to find the other ape. As-' toniBhed at finding nothing,he apparentyi thought he had not beeu quick enough. He then proceeded to raise and draw the glass nearer to him with great cauiiton, and then, with a swifter darr looked behind. Again finding nothing, he repeated tho attempt once more. HenextpaEJsed from astonishment to anger, and began to beat the frame violently on the floor ot the caga Soon the glass was shattered and pieces fell out, Continuing to beat, he was suddenly surprised to see his image in the piece of glass still remaining in the frame. Then, as it seemed, ho determined to make one more trial. More circumepectly than ever the whole first Xart of the process was gone through with more violently than ever the final dart was made, H s fury over this last failure knew no bounds. He crunched the frame and glass together with his teeth, beat them on the floor,and crunched them again till nothing but splinters was left. C ISA it A i ITKR- It RAD 1 SC.

Home journal. Round-eyed persons see much, live much in the senses, but think less. Narrow-eyed persons, on the other hand, see less, but think more and feel more intensely. It will be observed that . the eyes of children are open and round. Their whole Hf3 is to receive impressions. It is only when childhood is maturing toward man or womanhood that thought comes, if it comes at'all. But what is it that most leads to reflection? Experience, our errors, our, shortcomings, our failures these teach us to think before we act, to consider each step to weigh' every motive. When therefore the upper eyelid for it is that . which has the greatest amount of mobility droop over the eye, it indicates not merely re flection, but something painful to reflect about. Hence the length or drooping of the upper eyelid betokens confession and penitence. The drooping of the half of the eyelid from the outer angle to the center indicates the disposition ,to confess one's faults to parents or seniors, to

a "father confessor," or to the Supreme

Being. The drooping of the half of the eyelid from the inner angle .to the center betokens the disposition to repent, and to "do works meet for repentance." Closely allied to these signs are those of prayerf ulnoss and humility. The former is indicated by the muscle which turns the py directly upwards. The faculty of humility in indicated by the muscle which i urns the eye directly downwards, as represented in the pictures of the Madonna. Praycrfuhiess is usually large in connection with the sign of confession, and humility in. connection with

that of penitence; the reason of which is that between the faculties of penitence and humility .there .is the same close con

nection as between confession and pray

er. Une who lias more prayer than hu

mility has the eye turned habitually

somewhat upwards,., so that the upper

part of the iris is a little covered by the

upper eyelid, and so as to leave a slight

honesty in small money matters, which

some people would call closeness, and i$

indicated bv a single perpendicular

wrinkle or line between the eyebrows.

The second is the the disposition to re-

. quire iustice in others, and is indicated

by two perpendicular lines or wrinkles, one on each side of the center :a very

common skrr.. 3. he third is conscien

tkmsness, or the disposition to apply the

rule of justice to one s self, and is indicated by three or more wrinkles or lines'

esDCciallv noticeable extending above

the eyebrow when the muscle is in ac

tion. The love of command is indicated

by one or more short transverse wrinkles across the root of the nose, exactly between the eyes. It may be seen in great military commanders, in masters and

teachers, and; in those generally who are

fond of excri'isimr authority. In those

whoare wan ting in the power to com

The Noonday Hour.

The h uman svstem, taking it in all its

parts, is a ver y wonderful self-governing

and at the same time dependent machine.

To keep the machine m good running

order and we are using the word ma

chine in the highest-sense .t must have food and rest. AH expeiimentsthat have

been tried to test the results of the absence of food upon the animal system have been ended, if carried to their fullest extent, in the Fame manner with that so often quoted experiment in horse keeping in which, as related by the owner: 'Must as I got him so he could get along on one straw a day he died " The system wdl assert its demand for food in this severest pang6 of hunger, and the lack of rest will m ake i tself k r ow n in invol untary sleep :

Out of these necessities of the case there has a own tho common-sense custom of

"taking a nooning" of an hour or so in the middle of the day, in which the system is replenished, with food, and the nerves and muscles refreshed by a period of inactivity. A Spanish- American town is at midday as quiet as one in New England on the Sabbath.' One from the No th in visiting; such countries is apt to look upon the people as indolent, but he soon falls in with the custom, and finds that the noon-day nap is called, and which is taken by the richest and poorest alike, is not a manifestation of laziness, a mere habit, but a wise compliance with the demands of tne climate. The head of the family finds rest in the newspaper, and is ref resheil with the knowledge of the doings of the greatest men and. the active world beyond the boundaries of

his farm. In tho hour dividing the labors

of the forenoon from those of the afternoon he acquires a fund of information

that keeps him abreast with "(he world

and alive to the importance of his own

calling. A little time thus taken frcm

the toils of the day refreshes and

strengt hens tue man ' and makes the

whole life fuller, nobler and better. The

noon hour, should not be a time af thought

less inactivity, but of intelligent recreation.

Tho next time a man at Niagara at

tempts to shoos t he rapids he will do it

with a gun.

IN CAPTIVITY.

Mexican Women Tell the Story of Their

Brutal Treatment by the Apaches.

Fucson (A..T.) Dispatch. to tbe Ban Francisco

Call. ; . ....... ...... The fi ve Mexican women and one child

recaptured from the Apaches by Gsneral Crook and brought here are now in charge ot Consul Tuleli, who has telegraphed

his government for instructions as to

what disposition to make of them. They are from the city of Chihuahua, and are wives of so'diers in the Mexican army. The command to whi'sh their husbands were attached had been stationed 300

mdes northwest of the city of Chihuahua at a place on the Mexican frontier name J

El Carmen. The troops had been order

ed home, and the women followed their .

husbands at a distance of about two days' journey, traveling on foot. Ontha

10th of May they were surprised by a

band of Apaches under the personal command of Geronimo. The Indians sudden

ly rose up from behind rocks and bushes.

The women were greatly frightened and

began to scream, when a Mexican captive

named Jose, who had long been with the

Indians, came forward, and addressing

them' in Spanish, assured them no harm

would come if they would surrender and

follow the Apaches. There was nothing

else for them to do but to follo w.

The Indians then c&me forward- and asked a great many questions through

Jose. They were anxious to know the

number of Mexican soldiers, their where

abouts, and intentiona, to all cf which the

women answered as Dest they conic

There was another woman with them at

this time, whom the Indians subsequent

ly sent to Coihuahua for peace, as they said. The Indians, with their captives, travelled incessantly the remainder of that day and all night. The place where

they were captured is known as Cerritos Cuates, and is half way between El Carmen and Plan del El arao. They oalculated that the next morning after the capture they were at least 100 miles distant though they can not tell in what direc

tion. For three days they were without

water, but after that it. was found in abundance. The cou ;try through which they passed was wild beyond description. ( At times they, were compelle 1 to crawl on all fours. Their thirst for the first thres days nearly drove them crazy, and the Indians would whip and lash them up, and compel them by force to travel . Toward ' , the last of their -captivity ; . their food commenced giving out, and they were pnt upon rations, a small piece of raw beef being all that was given them. This had to be divided among the six; Mrs. Antonia Herrandez all this time carried her . little child in her arms. The Indian children took great pleasure in tormenting him, pincbiug him and jabbing sharp . sticks into his sides, giving him great pain. When they remonstrated, Geronimo or his men only laughed at her misey. The last two days of their captivity they had no food at all There was snow .on the mountains. The cold was intense, and the women suffered greatly, almost freezing. The Indians nevr remained quiet in one place a day, but were continually moving. They traveled nearly 100 miles a day, ?oing in every direction, but tending generally westward. The captives were abused and maltreated in every possible manner. They were made "o work heavily whenever camp was made, "and were a general object of abus k and ridicule. The Indians wauld take up Mrs. Hernandez's little boy, threaten to kill him, and w?onld throw stones at him to the great mental anguish of his mother. One of the women was sent as a hostage of some sort to Chihuahua to make peae. The exposure to cold, thirsty am ine and exhaustion from travel and fear of torture, was having an effect on the poor women. The first thing they knew they were hustled one day further into the mountains. The next day a brother of Chief Chat te delivered them up to Gen. Crook. As one of; them expressed herself when she saw Gen. Crook and the

soldiers, "It seemed as if the sky opened.

and heaven appeared." Their pitiable

condition drew deeply on the brave boys-

in blue, and they did everything, in their power to alleviate the sufferings of the women. ' A mule was given each woman to ride. This was one reason of the slow lehirn of General Crock's command. The women cannot find w.irds to express themselves for the gi atitud they feU toward the American soldiers. When he women started on the toilsome journey on foot, 300 miles from El Caimen to Chihuahua, to follow their husbands home, they had no idea there were Indians on the road, thinking they were all in the mountains to the north: They hve not seen their husbands for over six weeks. . : . .
