f| A BANKRUPT CITY.

Elizabeth, fi' JThreatened With Ex tinetion by Hiph Taxes. ELIZABKTII, RS. ., FLI&Y 1'7.—In consequence ol what claims baa been unjust treatment by the city government the (dinger Sewinging macbiDe Company •will remove its manufactory from this place, where 8 000people were given employ meat,

A

portion ot the company

works will be transferred to ScoUaud. The city owes the Singer mpany $3Qu, 000, and the manager of the company threatens to serve a mandamus compelling the authorities to raise the amount by taxation. The result of the levy will full heavily on the holders of personal nropeity, because the sheriff can find something tangible to seize. Under this head will bethejtorekeepers, to whom a 15 per cent, tax on their stock would be ruinous. The owners of real es'-ate will not suffer so much, it is thought, for the following reasons: Alter the sheriff has seized the lani he -will gell it. No one will buy it because a tax title in New Jersey is not wcrth six cents. The city ill buy it in. llhe original owner will remain in possession, because he carinot tie dispossessed. The city will get no money the owner will keep his land, the slierift and lawyers will collect Jheir fees and the world will troll on. That is the programme of the Teal eslate owner.

The storekeepers will adopt other plans. The large grocer will send all iris stock to NLW York and seive his customers by orders. The laige drygoods merchant will close his store because he cannot sell by samples as the grocer can. The smaller stores will nave to shut up.

The unhappy merchants say that they might possibly stand the 15 per cent, for one year, but the rate must necessarily increase, as otter mandamuses will be procured, and t,le end would never come until the $7,000,000 were paid. They preier to shut up shop and pay no taxe0 ct all.

Joaquin Millers Wij

1

The differences between Joaquin Miller and his divorced wife occupied considerable space in -the press some yeara ago. The "Poet of the Sierras* contributes to The San Francisco Chronicle the following tribute to his dead wife:

She seemed to see^vreck and storm and separation for us on the arena of lile long^fcjfrfore it came, and even while we were newly tearried, very hopeful, young and strong and happy. And BO, twenty years ago this spring, while we were living in the top of a house on Fulton street, San Francisco, No. 421, with this singular and sad notion in her %ead she one evening half playfully said that, whatever came to us, if I died first she would writ® me well before the world and let none do my memory wrong. And she exacted the same promise of ma And from that time, so far from forgetting the foolish covenant, she reminded me of it ever after. She reminded me of it in this city only a few days before her death, last May. In the fulfillment of this promise I now undertake this most delicate and most difficult task. For it is on my conscience that the occasion is opportune and that I cannot well conclude these sketches of my life in the Sierras in this journal, without trying, after a year's delay, to keep this covenant and solemn promise ot twenty yeara ago. It was while I was riding Mossman & Miller's pony express from Walla Walla to Millersburg, in the mines of Idaho, in the summer of 1801, that I first was attracted by her writings in the newspapers. I wrote her and had replies. Then when I came down from the mountains and embarked in journalism she wrote to me and our letters grew ardent and fall of affection. Then I mounted my horse and rode hundreds of miles through the valleys and over the mountains, till I came to the sea, at Port Oxford, then a flourishing mining town, and there first saw "Minnie Myrtle."

Tall, dark and striking in every respect this first Saxon woman I had ever addressed had it all her own way at onfte. She knew nothing at all of my life, except that I was an expressman and country editor. I knew nothing at all of hers, but I found her with her kind, gooc parents, surrounded by brothers and sisters and the pet and spoiled child of the mining anc lumber camp. In her woody little world there by the sea she was literally worshiped by the rough miners and lumbermen and the heart ol the bright and merry girl was brimming full ol romance, hope and happiness. I arrived on Thursday. On Sunday next we were married! Oh, to what else but ruin and regret could such romantic folly lead? Procuring a horse for her we set out at once to return to my post far away over the mountains. These mountains were then as now, and ever will be, I reckon, crossed only by a dim, broken trail, with houses twenty and thirty mllee apart for the few travelers.

The first day out we came upon a great band of elk. Toward evening I drew a revolver and with wild delight we dashed among the frightened beasts, and following them quite a distance, we lost our way. And we had to spend our first night together, tired, hungry, thirsty, sitting under the pines on a hillside, holding on to to our impatient horses. We reached my home all right, however, at length, after a week's ride, but only to find that my paper had been suppressed by the government, and we resolved to seek our fortunes in 8an Francisco. But we found neither fortune nor friends in the great new city, and so returning to Oregon, 1 bought a band of cattle and we set out with our baby and a party of friends and relatives to reach the new mining camp, Canyon City, in eastern Oregon. In fact, I had zone before to spy out the land. We found ne Indians and got some foothold Mid we selected, this loMtipn'for o\ur uWfehoina. iv _i_ He* in itiJ^fifow Trall^fErougir tEa dense woods, up the bteep, snowy mountains, down through the roaring canyons! It was wild, glorious, fresh, full of hazard and adventure! Minnie had made a willow basket and swr.ng it to her saddle-horn, with the crowing and good-natured baby inside, looking up at her, laughing, as she leaped her horse over the fallen logs or made a full hand with whip and lasso, slashing after the cattle. Cut when we descended the wooded mountains to the open plain on the eastern side of the Sierras" the Indians were ready to receive us, and we almost had literally to fight our way for the next Week's journey, every day and night. And this woman was one of the truest souls that ever saw battle. I think she never, even in the hour of death, knew what fear was. She was not only a wonderful horsewoman, but very adroit in the use of arms. She was a much better shot, indeed, than myself. In our first little skirmish on this occasion, I had taken position on a hill with a few men, while the cattle and paak animals were corraled by the others in a bight in the foothills below to prevent a stampede. And thus intrenched, we waited the attack from the Indians, who held the farther point of the ridge on which I had stationed my men. Suddenly Minnie, baby in arms, stood at my side and began to calmly diacUES the situation and to pass merry remarks about the queer noises the bullets made as they flattened on the rocks aTxut us and glanced over our heads. I finally got her to go down, or, rather, promise to go down to camp for the better safety of the baby. But in a moment she was back. She had hidden the laughing little baby in the rooks, and now, gun in hand, kept at my side till the brush was over and the Indians beaten off.

Here is one leaf from her journal, or rather, I think her recollections of the journey, which she left me along with her other papers when she died: "One night of that journey I shall not soon forget. There had bden some fighting ahead of us and we knew the foe was lurking in ambush. They made a kind of fort of the freight and while we lay down fn the canyon, baby and I, away up on the high, sharp butte, Joaquin stood sentinel And I say this to-night in his behalf and in his praise, that he did bravely and saved his loved ones from peril that night. That he stood on that dreary summit, a target /or the foe and no one but me to take note of his valor—stood till the morning shone radient, stood till the night was passed There was no world looking on to praise his courage and echo it over the land only the frozen stars in mystic groups far away, and the slender moon, like a sword drawn to hold him at bay."

Beaching the mines in safety, I, as detailed in a previous sketch, practiced law, mined, fought Indians, and indeed was the busiest of men in trying all means to got oa I planted the first orchard in all that land, pushed ahead as hard as I could and tried to be punctual and steady and thoughtful lot I was still but a lad in years. I forgot to mention that I was meantime elected judge of the county and had begun to write the "Songs of the Sierras." My life was a sober and severe one. For without learning, I was trying to administer the law without knowing how to read or spell, I was trying to write a Ixwk. I was walking anew road of life now. All was strange. What availed my knowledge of woodcraft in the courts of law? The mystery of making fire by the friction of two sticks of wood, the secret of finding water iu the desert by the flight of a bird, the cunning of foretelling the force of the coming winter or the depth of the snow, all these and the like were of no use now.

If the shrewd'and sharp lawyera who bullied and beat me had come into my elements I had beaten them. But I had chosen to enter their's and must be equal to the undertaking. And so it was I worked and studied as never man worked and studied before. Often I never left my office till the gray dawn, after a day of toil iiid a u&ht e? stud v. Mv health eave'wav and

THE TEREE HAUTE WEEKLr wASETTE.

iras inaeea oia ana tnougmrui. wen, &u this, you can see, did not iuit the "merryhearted and spoiled child of mipen at ai^ Then she was not so ambitious as I Was then she had not such a st»nge, wild life behind to haunt her. She became the spotted chad here hatt sh&had boen at her father's, and naturally grew impatient at my persistent toil and study. But she was good all the tltae good and honest and true all things and in all ways under' stand that distinctly. And let me say her#, once for all, that no man or woman can put a finger on any stain in thie woman's whole record of life, BO far as truth and purity go. But she was not happy here. Impatient of the dull monotony of the exhausted mining camp and longing for the sea and the old home that almost overhung the sounding waters^ she took her two children and returned to" her mother, while I sold the little home we had built and kept together, the new orchard and the lanes of roses we had planted together, and remained there ih the camp, promising to follow her, yet full of ambition now to be elected to a place on the supreme bench of the state, and I remained and worked on to that end ceaselessly.

She had been abqent [roi£ me quite a year When the convention was called and I went to Portland, seeking the nomination for the place I desired. But the poor, impatient lady, impulsive always, ana angry that I should have kept so long away, had forwardbd papers from home, hundreds of miles remote, to a lawyer here, praying for a divorce. This so put me to shame that I abandoned my plans and in rage and disappointment formed a collusion with her lawyer to give her a pretense of that which she professed to desire. Yet I knew quite well that this was only a romantic and foolish freak that meant nothing. How often she has written me that she did this in order to get me to come to her, and that she did not dream she could be divoroed unless I came to her when the action was brought Nor could she in fact. But a court was iu session, and her lawver, who looked to me only for his fee, entered"the cas6 and in about the time it takes to write it the sham decree was announced to the world, while I was sailing away for other lands.

Of course the whole pitiful proceeding was as nothing but her lawyer, now dead, got his fee from me, and never betrayed the treachery to her. And it was perhaps quite ten years before she by chance met some one who told her the truth. She had married, but at once left all and came to me here.

I had not been greatly fortunate at best A few thousand dollars I had thrown up as a wall between myself and work but I had grown so impatient of this moderate position life and I so wanted to get a great fortune and return to the west, that I deliberately staked all in Wall street, and of course lost all. I, beaien and discouraged and broken in health, had retreated to a garret and was then again preparing to use my pen, when one stormy night a strange woman crept up my stairs and told me in a wild whisper that my wife, "Minnie Myrtle," was in the city and must see me. And how helpless I was to help her or any one now. I had seen her form but once for nearly a dozen years. And such years! Let me not recite any of the horrors they hold in thiB connection and yet I heard from her all the time, and while she wrote against me and lectured about me and did all that made my life so miserable, she did not really mean my ruin but thinking me strong and prosperous and happy, she exhausted her wit and sarcasm on me and laughed that she might nut weep. But in time she drove me nearly mad, ana I left the country and proposed never to return. My

Eer

ublishers, Roberts Bros., of Boston, had sent $50 a month as regularly as the months

all the time. She was reviving that um, perhaps as much more directly from myself, as I could spare it, all the time I was in Europe: and she received these sums for years after her marriage. But the poor, spoiled child of Pert Oxford never quite got over her childish love for wasteful follies and dress and show and travel, and BO was forever pinched and in debt

And now, having hastily passed over all those terrible years, we come to the closing chapter of this singular lif& I followed th'o good woman who came to me that stormy night in silence till we came at last to a little back room in the top of the house, with abed in the center and a doubtful fire struggling in tho grate. The good woman turned away and left us in the room together. The place was almost dark. She did not give me her hand, but stood before me with one hand holding on the bedpost, along time silent

country agaia "I have come to you to die!" she said. And as she turned so that the light was on her face I saw that it was so. And then we sat down and had a long talk. It was our last talk. I was not very kind. God knows I am sorry now. She wanted most of all to see her little girl, whom I had taken from her and placed in the Convent school in Canada three years before, and it seemed to break her heart when I refused to send for her to come. By and by, however, when I promised her that she should surely see her before she died, she became reconciled. She talked with calm unconcern about her coming death, reminded me of my promise, and told me she had brought me all her papers some that we had written together before I had learned to spelL There

valor, a sweet­

ness, too, and a dignity, a large charity in all she said and did now the twilight of life that won all hearts to her entirely. My secrets she kept till the grave closed over her, and she never complained of anything or of any one, but was patient., resigned and perfectly fearless and tranquil to the ond. But the end was not so near after all Whon I went back to see her one day she had gone and had left no word where she could be found. Then I began to fear and doubt her promise the winter wore away and April came. Then they came to tell me, from her, that Bhe was dying and I must keep my promise. And so I arranged for hor child to come, and I went every day to assure her that she was coming and to take her some flowers and whatever kind messages and encouragement I could.

Wearily the days went by till away up in May, the month in which she was born. Then the child came and the good people, the gentle, loving people who kept with her and cared for and loved and pitied her in these last days, said it was luce religion to see ihem together and that the dying woman in her last days was very. Very happy. And so Minnie Myrtle died last May here in New York. When I went up to look on her dead face, a strange fancy of hers—she had had set all about the foot of the bed, where she could see them, all the flowers I had sent her, the withered ones and all. There was quite half a trunk full of papers which she had brought and intrusted to me. some of them suggesting wonderful things', great thoughts and good and new for much that she wrote—and maybe this is not just praise—was better than any writing of mine. But she lacked care and toil and sustained thought I bought a little bit of ground in Evergreen cemetery, and there the hand that writes this laid the dear, tired lady to rest, forgiving and begging God to be forgiven.

framing swamps

... ..... ...-tp-. .V Boston Budget A novel method of draining very wet sWamps is being practiced in some countries. It is known to botanists that most large-leaved plants give off about their own weight of nocture in from thirty-six to forty-eight hours. Upon this principle certain plants have been grown in swamps which were not wanted for immediate cultivation, and in a few years the swamps became dry and had borne in addition a crop of hoop-poles or other products. The great eucalypti of Australia are especially useful for this work, but many of our own trees answer the purpose admirably. _——%•

"The gjeen leaf of the ntew comc Spring.'

—ShaJl,

Everybody recognizes spjing, when it is once upon us, but many persons are not familiar with ihe exact date of its appearance. Webster, the world-re-nowned lexicographer, gives us a defininition, which may not be inappropriate here. "Spring," says he "is the season of the year when plants begin to "vegetate and rise the vernal season, comprehending the months of March, April and May, in the middle latitudes north ot the equator."

Thompson, in his "Seasons," and Shakespeare in many o? bis works, have, perhaps, no peers in describing it, and yet. "ethereal spring" is freighted with malaria, "that insiduons foe, lurking unseen in the very air' we breathe." It spreads over the fairest portions of oar land brings death and disease to thonsands cuts off scoiee upon scores of onr children aDd youth, as well as those advanced in life. A pestilence is regarded with little less apprehension, and people every where are asking, "What is it V" "Where does it come from!" "What will cure it?"

When you begin to lose appetite—hafe a headache, a pain in youi tide, back. and shouldersto toss about at night in restless dreams —wake in the morning with a toul mouth andfuried tongue feel disinclined to go about your work, heavy in body and oppressed in mind have a fit ot the blues —when your urine getseeanty or high colored —to suffer 5 With constipatioh, diarrhoea, or indigention —have a pasty, sallow face, dull eye«, and a blotched 6kin —one or all of these common complaints will certainly be evidences that your liver is disordered, torpid, or perhaps diseased. A bottle of Kidney Wort is, under such circumstances, a priceless boon to such a person. 1

Bare assertions of proprietors have come to possess less force than they frequently merit. The cause of this condi- I tion of popular skepticism is, in the main, to be found in the fact that charlalanism covers our broad land. Meiitorious articles are loo frequently found 5 in bad company.

The proprietors of Kidney-Woit alwtys prove all their assertions, touching the merits ot their preparations. When we affirm, therefore, that Kidney-Wort is a specific for just such disorders as have been mentioned in this article. the proof, too, belongs to and shall, follow thisstaiement.

A PHYSICIAN EXPER1E NCE. Dr. R. K. Clark, a regular physician of extensive practice iu Grand Isle county, auc a worthy deacon of the Congreg'ational Church, at South Hero, Vt., has used Kidney-Wort for several years in his piactice, and before the present propiietors purchased an interest in it, he had given his unbiased opinion in ita favor. This opinion has not changed. It has done belter than any other rtmedy I have ever used," says the Doctor, and, further on he writes: "I do not recollect an instance where the patient to whom I have given it has failed to receive benefit from its use, and in some severe esses, most decidedly so." These are stronn weds. They are from a representative, conscientious, eve'rappuratuouie, U1 tiUirn UOWCVtr., and—better still—they are true.

Kidney-Wort will bear all the encomiums lavished upon it by its frieuos— and their name is legion. "I will swear by Kidney-Wort all The time,'' writes Mr. J. R. Kauflman, of Lancaster, Pa. We will supplement this by asserting, as a matter of fact, and one capable of demonstration, that all honest patrons of this remedy are its friends and advocates.

There has never been an Instance in which this sterling invigorant and anti- febrile medicine has failed to ward off tbe complaint, when taken daily as a protection against malaria. Hnndieda of physicians have abandoned all the ofBoinal specificp, and now prescribe this harmless vegetable tonic for chills and fever, as well as dyspapsia and nervous affections. Hostetter'a bitten is the specific yon need.
