HOW I MARRIED. TUE CAP

. - ,
I had never had. tin adventure. I
think most people counted me a very
quiet girl, drifted Mies sea-atoll into
a corner of the Mit world. - The
A I

shipwreck and d er; there was
sailing out of agonien here was danc

but nothing surged me up out of icy
sea-swept niche. Poor Elizabeth
Greyl I said aloud, will the tide ev

All this sea talk, I think, grew out
of a little pink dress I was sewing
on that morning. Rosy Fox wits
going to Europe, and this was one of
a dozen or two tiny dresses I had
made for hcf. Going to Europe!
Rosy—a little prattling thing that
didn't yet know oneistreet from an
other in her native' city. What
would Medo in Europe—what would
Europe do for her? But for me the
very thought seemed like a glimpse
of heaven a sweet, forbidden
glimpse; for what had I to do with
change, or pleasure, or excitement?
A seamstress , orderly, exemplary
—an orphan who bad decently bur
led,,her mother, and who creditably
snpported her little brother at school
—such was my briefoutward record.
This morning a alragne restless
ness beset me; . ark :unaccountable
yearning, like a Wooing whiff of
ocean air, beckoned tne away. Wily

The thought stgiod on the verge of
my mind,hovering, timorous, unreal,
its wing poised for flight. I had no
money. Vision vanished, and rn the
gray after-light my patch looked dus
tier, darker, more straitened than
ever.
But this was not to bon day like
other days, it stands apart In my
memory now, illuminating that
whole year, as I have seen a clump
of cardinal flowers illumine a whole
gray meadow.
A knock came at the open door of
my room, and it was flung back
sharp and suddenly. Very few vis
itors ever climbed to my little third
story apartment; seldom any one
but testy. Madame Padwelle, for
whom`l worked. This could not
the madame's footstep, so heavy and
brisk. I looked up, and there stood
Captain David, my mother's old
friend.
,A tall, big-boned, grizzled man,
quick decided, and full of vigor as a
Northern pine, with a flavor of old
time quaintness about him—a thrifty
well-to-do man, whose ship had car
ried freight into almost every port
on the globe, but chiefly lo the West
Indies.
I had not seen the captain since I
was a little girl, but I knew his face
ail figure instantly: The tall hat he
wgte when in landsman's rig, the
reds bandana he flourished, were
things of memory. Many an odd
sea-shell had he brought me, and
many a dainty from far-off lands had
shown his remembrance of my moth
er. Ills sharp gray eye was full of
kindly humanity ; I remembered
that eye.and how it stood to me in
childhood for illimitable geopraphi
ad knowledge, gliirtikses of polar seas
and fathomlese waters, and all the un
speakable mysteries of the unknown
world.
"Well, my little girl, how's all
the folks?" said the captain, taking
offhis steeple-crowned hat as he en
tered. .
The familiar voice, the hearty
grasp of his muscular hand took me
hack to my girlhood again; for an
instant it seemed as if my mother
Were living, sad all the weight of
care and loneliness were lifted from
my shoulders. Only an instant. The
tears gathered in my eyes, and I said,
abruptly.
"There are no folit.s, captain."
The captain's countenance fell.
He seemed inwardly to reprove him
self for his hasty pleasantry, recol
lecting that this was the time for
conventional solemnity. Seating
himself with gingerly awe on one of
my slim-legged chairs, he wiped his
forehead with his red bandana.
"I know, I know," he said uneasi
ly. "I mean—how's Jim?', with a
hasty clutch at the name, as if to save
himself from further mishap.
"Oh," said I, chOerfully, anxious
to put him at his ease, "Jim's doing
famously. He'll take the prize in
languages at his school next year."
"And you are working yourself to
death to stuff the lad with Greek and
Latin?"
I fell to laughing. "No, captain.
not exactly. But Jim's too smart and
too good to be kept In the city, and
I have' to be away so much of the
time sewing.''
"You look like it," said the cap
tain, gru ffly, "What do you live on?
Shirts at sixpence apiece?"
"No, indeed!" I cried indignant
ly. "I sew on pretty things---robes
and dresses; see this!" and I held up
Rosy's pretty pink dress. It glowed
in the sunshine, its flounces and
f r uit age trembling about like a su
perabundant groyith of petals.
The captain eyed it approvingly.
"Pretty enough," he said. It's got
all your color in it. my little girl.,'
It was long since I had heard any
one express; kindly interest in me.
and the words thrilled me with a
strange feeling, intense, exquisite,
allied to pain.
"You ought to have a changeof
ROBERTS
wrAsnipi'gi
atr,".sidd the captain, seeing I tnade
no answer. ,
The pretty dress seemed freighted
with the visions I had had while
making it. Rosy giimnses out of
the matter -of-course drudgery, the
dingynd ashen hue of my habitual
life. o pened out of Hall:4(1s.
"Captain;" said I, abruptly, as I
iaid it ' Carefully away. , ' how much
does it cost to go to the West Indies?"
"IV steam?"
"NO; in your ship."
"Oh," said the captain, "I'm not
fitted up for, passengers. A tight lit
tie craft enough, but only to carry
freight. Why? Know any one
going?"
"I'dtn. Captain let me be freight.
Stow lite away in the hatch or any
where, only let me go! See, I have
thirty' dollars to pay my passage; '
and I held up my purse. Jine
quarter's all paid too!"
"The money an immense tempta
tion:l3ldd the captain, eying thp
slim
,purse humorously—"immense.
I might lay by on it aftexone or two
more; voyages." ,
"And. captain, you know I've a.
cousin out there somewhere—an en
gineer or something on a plantation."
"Ay. that way blows the wind,
does It? Well, well, my child, I'll
think about it. It might do you no,
harm.; and, as you say, you might
marry the enginepr when you find
him."
"Now, captain, you know I never
said that!"
"No?" Well, it puts a bit of col
or into your cheeks, Lisbeth,, and
that's a good thing to see, however
it comes. I'll think about it, child.
It's poor traveling in a freight ves•
set but many's the trip the wife and
I took together when she was liv
ing."
Long ago the Captain had lost his
young wife, a year or two after their
marriage. I had never seen her ; but
the Captain's faithful remembrance
of her was pleasant. She was a sort
of imlntly recollection to him, bright
ening and sweetening his rude life,
and keeping her niche in his heart
forever.
Three days passed. I waited, I
sewed. I pricked my fingers perhaps
a little more than usual; I looked out
Of the window possibly a little oft
ener. Madame Padwelle scolded
me. Madame Padwelle coaxed me.
and finally, in a huff, madame paid
me up and left, severely intimating
that she would he glad to employ me
again when I "felt like work."
Then dine the captain.
"Well?" queried I.
"Well," answered he, "you'll find
It pretty close quarters and a pretty
hot voyage; but there's deck room."
Deck room! It was just the one
thing I wanted—and then I knew
that the captain had consented.
I shall not tell you much about
that voyage. It stands yet in my
mind In the same relation as a dream
—vague without shafpness of out
line, with no sepan-ftion of periods
of time; one big, bountiful remem
brance of a season of infinite rest,
when, adrift between air and ocean,
I seemed without bodily entity ; for
the things that had marked niy iden
tity hitherto had been, but were no
longer.
I was not. seasick. A strange vi
sionlikesensatlon wrapped me about,
a faintness as ofa spirit coming newly
to life in a new world having left the
old itlelloabratuve of the flash, with the
old cares, far away on the far-away
shore.
There was nothing to do—that is,
nothing ..,ftkr we to do—no living to
get, no eaertian to make. I seemed

Me, and the great ocean - clasping me

I was trey ea like - a'lad?"-*l 4 6'
and delicious thing to one inured to
hard usage and to earning her bread
in a big bustling city. When the in
tense heat made the ill, and the rosy
cheeked mate's wife, who had been
my companion hitherto, succumbed
to it also, the captain took care of me
himself. Sometimes he curried me
in his strong arms up to the hammock
swinging on deck; sometimes he
brought me with his cwn brawny,
kindly, hand my bowl of water gru
el. At odd times, when nothing
else called him, he furbished up his
rusty stock of sch9pling. and read me
some queer old sea-story resurrected
from the depths of his big wooden
chest. Rough, brown, and burly,the
sailors were all lily friends; they
pointed out the dolphins and por
poises, and scared me with the pros
pect of whales or imaginary sharks.
Their dark faces and sturdy forms
made a solid background to my
dream-land,and gave l lt a pictures
que touch of reality,
But by-and-by all these come to an
end. Out of the dream-land voyage
we sailed into dream-land itself.
One morning I went up on deck,
and, behold ! the gate of paradise
seemed open to me.
The vessel lay anchored in a lovely
harbor. Sapphire-blue shone the
water, edge where it touched the
beach with a line of lace like foam.—
Beyond rose hill above hill, crowned
with glowing foliage and arched by
the azure sky.
At the foot of these hills clustered
a group of long, low, flat-roofed
building, unlike any I had ever seen.
They seemed to have grown out of
the same soil that nourished the co
coa unt i l palm waving above them.
Intense color, vivid, jewel-like,
shoneeverywhere about me. I rub
bed my eyes. My Kist glimpse of
land had been the gray and busy
shores of New York. Had I, indeed,
passed out of my dim and cobweb
bed life and the s "glory that should
be revealed?"
A strange, melodious jargon greet
ed my ears; a musical "c-arambo !"
hissed between the teeth. This could
hardly be the accent of seraph. Look
ing down, I saw a fleet of gayly
painted boats, front which a throw:
of red, half-naked islander climbing
like monkeys up the sides of the ship.
They gesticulated, they chattered,
they hurried agile about the Ship,
chattering their delicious Spanish—a
mellifluous cornucopia of vowels With
angliwithout sharpness—t be living
expression of the strange svelte upon
which I had fallen.
"Porto Rico!" said Captain David,
as he passed busily on his way.
But busy as the captain was, be had
not yet forgotten me. Before night
fall a snug little "eirs.a," owned by a
kindly Spanish woman, received me.
A quiet place a little way beyond
the busy to*n, white floors, vast
rooms open to the roof, with here
an there in wide perspective a chair.
a table, a flower-wreathed niche for
the Virgin. Such was my new
home. •
Though apart from the town, it
was not isolated. Past its windows,
whose jalousies only veiled; but did
not hide, the outer world, drifted
daily the characteristic sights of a
tropic town. Overladen mules and
sleepy Spanish ponies, bearing panni
ers of trait—oranges, bananas, maw-
Ince-apples, and I know not what of
shining and nameless things—mov
ed leisurely downer the quay be
strode by sullen sitiVes ' their dark
faces set off by now and then a wairiet
vest or a great overshadowing "som
brero;" or a lazy, half-naked native
loitered by with a picturesque load
of dried plantain leaves for thatching
his mountain, hut, where he lived
free, Independent, and, In his ex-
pressive phrase, "solemnly poor.
My landlady, the Senora Marie,
was a great, motherly, kind-hearted
woman, a widow with a brood of ol
ive-akinned, wild-eyed little ones to
look qter. • For them she was very
ambitious; for their sakes she made
the dainty "pates" of guava and co
coa-nut, which her slave Liza took
down to market, poising them On
herlittd after the ancient fashion,
which,is the only fashion of things
in Poito Rico; for their sakes she
rented the pleasant rooms In her rasa
to whomsoever the tides and winds
brought her from sea; and for their

American woman, she would halve

and hived them hugely. She listen
ell delighted while they clustered
round, one, chattering their dainty
lingo,, wondering over my light
locks,;my foreign dress, and coaxing
me with a winning witchery to talk
to them in English.
Sometimes the captain dropped in
upon us; .he was taking in cargo.
Great hogsheads of sugar must have
been a load on his mind,but he found
room for me also. Sometimes he
took rue out before sunrise for astral{
on the hills. Sometimes we rode on
horseback to some distant sugar plan
tatioo, or wo visited some oleander
hid haciendo whose owner he knew.
I Watt getting , along. famously,he Said;
the senoria had told hini with Miller
fingers, eyes, and tongue how ;she
liked me, how golden my hair was,
and how I got on with the children.
Would I like to live in Porto Rico?
Oh, I liked it unspeakably! _ The
red soil, the hills, the strazgllng
roads, thecocoa-trees, the far sbgar
cane plantations with their tail chim
neys looming against the - sky; it was
all beautiful—even the lazy life that
lived itself without effort, and seem
ed to put to shame the busy, undig
nified scramble we had called exis
tence.
"I lave it all,captain !" I exclaim
ed.
"Weil," said the mptain,laugh lug.
"we must hunt up our engineer and
see what can be done about it."
But Senora Marie had a new idea.
"The little senorita is happy here;
doubtless some of her people long
ago were Spanish, eh? She tells the
she is not rich—money no mucho,eh?
Let her stay with ine in my case, V
will give her plenty touch() to eat and
to wear; I will take her to my
friends. They have haciendas, plan
tations, plenty slaves. She shall
teach the children and be happy.
Eh, what say you, senor eapitain ?"
Senor captain said nothing for some
time. He wiped his forehead with
his red bandana • he looked over at
me with a searc hing glance; he knit
his brows. finally he rose in his
abrupt fashion. "She might do
worse," he said, and betook himself
to his ship.
The hot day grew hotter; it faired
to a close; it died with-gorgeous burn
ing behind the hills; the sudden
blackness of tropic night came on;
but he did not conic. again.
I lay awake long that night listen
ing to the wash of the surf on the dis
tant shore, and hearing the lonely
cry.of the watchman calling out the
hour in the solitary streets of the
town. How strange It would be to
grow familiar with all these things,
and live in this'strange land forever!
I said nothing more to Senora
Marie about her proposition. Peo
ple in these islands are in no such
haste for a decision. Perhaps I had
miscalculated the captain's kindnecs
—it might nut pay hith to carry me
back. And what did I want to go
back to? To the narrow room under
the roof—to the narrow lira of penu
ry? Here I was rich, or might be;
even the poorest here had his plan
tain but and his patch of banana.

throlth the , inist of the great ocean,
and 'leave me drifted among the
palms anti cocoas, a worthless, un
missed thing, not worth taking
home.
I tried to be sensible, to look the
matter in the face, and to rejoice that
fate had provided for me so unex
pectedly,and when day after day pass
ed I began to think that the captain
had regarded the thing as final, and
after his sailor fashion had departed
without even an adieu. I had seen
him conclude a bargain in just such
brief manner.
Restless and weary with a long
night of wakefulness, I rose one
morning and set out for the shore.
Early though it was, however, none
of our household being astir, I found
the tropic .world awake before me;
along the road to the harbor wagon
after wagon, laden with sugar hogs
heads and drawn by rough, savage
looking bulls or unkept oxen, were
pa:sing on their way to the wharf.
Et iiinette in West Indies does
not allow a lady to be seen abroad
unattended, so, hastily clambering
up the hillside bordering the road.
I sought a narrow, sheltered path I
knew of, which, crawlingamong the
scraggy bushes, kept ite way to the
river.
Weary with my exertions, I sat
down a moment to rest. Juet here,
at the turn of the path, an opening
through wood and rising hill
gave glimpses of the ockin,with here
and there the faint traeing of mast
end stiff, us from the far outer world
an °mason:ll ship sought harbor.
As I sat ,there. leaning my head
on my hand I believe I fel4 the first
touch of homesickness I had ever
known. At least my little room at
home was shaded and quiet; at least
its poverty and nakedness were not
displayed on the roadside. Here
was I with my dream all ended. even
in the midst of my dreaming. 0, hove
me palm and tamarind feathered the
sky, the jewel shine of tropic leaf and
flower, splendor, color every where,
and-I alone gray, solitary, and cold.
Absorbed in thought, I—know not
how lung I sat. A quick ctep
startled me. I t was not a native step;
no native sets his foot, down as if it
were of the slighte ( sf importance
when he lifted it again. There was
meaning and energy in this footfall,
and I hastily rose to face the intruder.
It was my gray, sturdy, faithful cap
lain.
"Well. my little girl!" cried the
hearty, familiar voice. "how's this?
Out here alone this time o' day? The
women folks will all be down upon
you for breaking rules."
"I—l thought you'had sailed," was
my reply, as I burst into tears in
spite of myself.
Whereat the captain burst into
that honest; friendly laugh of his,
which seemed so thoroughly to set
aside trouble and difficulty, shred
ding them likeso4many cobwebs.
"Well, well !" he said; "well, well,
well !"
Which was his sole comment
Taking my hand under his arm, he
drew me away from the path, up to
ward the level of the hill, where a
little breeze stirred slumbrously, and
a solitary lake, shut in with foliage
of bamboo and clambering vine,
cooled the air.
"Rest here a bit. and wipe your
eyes,"said the captain. spreading his
red handkerchief on the ground for
me to sit on. "I am on my way to
Senora Marie's to breakfast, but
there's no hurry. Neither she nor
all her lazy slaves can get it ready
before twelve o'clock, - you know."
fie looked at his watch with seaman's
exactitude. and sitting down beside
me, opened his great umbrella over
my head to shut out the sun. I felt
sheltered and comforted.
"So yon thought 1 bad sailed, Lis

The tears swelled to my - eyes again.
I could not answer.
"Tut, tut !" said my companion,
cheerfally."Ypq must not be sodomy ,
hearted, Lisbeth, when Mrs, Marie
has taken so kindly to you. But
you'll got on better when the ship's
fairly out of sight, You'll feel more
settled."
"If you were here," I broke forth.
"Oh, what do you r want of me ?
You'll be with the young senor and
senoritas, and all-the rest of it. They
will treat you like a princess.
no company for such. They don't
want an old sea dog like me."
Almiays from my childhood the
captain had come and gone out of my
life like a myth; his shin waited in
the harbor; 'he had wings;he was not
like any one else. And for this reas
on his going from me now seemed to
shut me away forever out of sight In
to a living death. Something of this
I muttered incoherently, clinging to
him as though he might vanish while
I wept.
The Captain stooped and looked
into my excited face; his gray scintil
lating eye shot, a strange ray into
mine.
"Unapt) !" he said, fanning himself
with his great sombrero. "It's hot ;
there's note breath atlrring, and it
only ten in the morning."
There was silence for a moment—a
tropic silence, unbroken by chirp of
bird or fall of leaf. My eyes follow
ed the far glimpse of the ocean, with
the occasional sail heading toward
the harbor.
"You like ships, Lisbeth ?" said
the captain.
"I love them !" I cried, with en
thusiasm.
"Just so, just so. You like things
with a will but, my little girl, if you
expend so much feeling sn every
thing. what will yon have for some
good man when he asks you to like
"That would be different." My
voice shook.
"What would be different ?" said
the captain, turning suddenly ,and
harshly upon me. "Lisbeth," he
said, more softly, lay!ng his great
?own hand on my arm. "you know
I mean to be your friend. I want
you to remember that after I am
gone. If any trouble comes to you.
you know where to write; yet,after all
it will be Strange to sail away with
out my little girl."
I could make no reply.
- "I wish the wife was here," said
the captain, with a troubled voice;,
"she would tell me what to do,"
"There is nothing to do, 'captain ;
you have done all you could tor me."
"You must hunt up that engineer,
Lisbeth." The captain was feeling
In the depths of his fathomless pock
ets for an extra handkerehief as he
uttered this jest; but I saw a tear
wander down over the bridge of hiS
nose before he could find it.
"I don't want to hear that joke
again !" I cried angrily. I mean to
live alone. I don't want any help
from anybody."
"softly there. my girl, softly !" was
the answer ; "you do not know what
you are saving. It a hard shift to
live alone; 1 have found it so, roving
dog though I am. Do not say that
you wil4 Ilvo alone, Lisbeth ; rather
tharrthat, I would even oak you to
marry an old fellow like me !"
What I said then Ido not know,
what I did I not remember. Like
one rescued from shipwreck, I look

And so it came about that we' two

A Man Awakens limn* Sleep and

When Samuel Blair. who boards

morning he found to his utter dis
maLthat during his sleep, death, the
gretit enemy of all mankind, had al
most stolen a march upon him, in
fact, already had possession of his
feet and hands and part of his,arms. '
His first sensation upon wakening
was that he had neither hands or
feet. lie could raise his arms and
draw his legs up, but the extremi
ties were completely deadened,
white, cold and stiff, without a par
ticle of blood in them. He raised
his hands to his mouth and fairly
embedded his teeth in his fingers,
but without producing any percepti
hie feeling or . pain, and greatly
alarmed he threw himself out of bed.
He could steady himself upon his
feet and walk by exercising the great
est care, but said he felt as though
his legs were cut off just above the
ankle. He pulled the bell cord with
his teeth, and the waiter coming up,
Blair had him rub and chafe his feet
until the blood again circulated, and
then the work commenced on his
arms, hut it was some time before
he could regain the use of his fingers.

man, but is badly frightened at these

Burying' with the feet to the East.
Chambers' L'acyclopedia has the
followinv, explanation of the custom
of heriul with the feet toward the
east:
"The custom of venerating the
east was perpetrated try- the Chris=
tian Church from various circum
stances mentioned in the sacred rec
ord. It was said that Christ had
been placed in the tomb with his feet
towards the east, and the Day of
Judgment he should come from the.
eastward in the heavens. From
these various eimitostance3, the
building of churches with the chan
cel to the east, bowing to the east on
uttering the name of Jesus,and hur
rying with the feet to the east, were
introduced as customs in the church.
It is a crams instance of the in
vereracityThf popular custom, that in
Scotland, where everything that sa
vored of ancient usage was set aside
as Popish by the reformers, the prac
tice of burying with the feet to the
east was maintained, in the old
church-yards. nor is it uncommon ,
still to set down churches with a
scrupulous .-tegard to east and
west. In Modern ceeteries in En

It was against the rules to take such.
His face was so grave and his manner
so hesitating that the pretty face said
in the sweetest of tones, "would you

One cannot help but specuki to upon
what kintl,of men we Americans
shall be when all these desolate
plains are filled; when cities shall be
found where now only the lonely de

The Well that Leaked.
When the General Manager of the
Missouri„ Texas & Kansas Railway
was pushing, the enterprise South
ward at the rate of three miles a day.
he came across a veteran Missouri
farmer, who for fifty years had lived
on his frontier plantation undisturb
ed; even by wars, rumors of warn,
pestilence or famine, so far from
disease and telegraph was he.
One night the advanced men
came upon his old farm house, when
the following dialogue ensued:
"Theu ye're gwine to build a rail
road, are ye?"
"Whar am it cumin' from and
whar am it gwine to go?"
"From Sedalia in Missouri, down
through Missouri, Kansas, the In
dian Terri tory,' and, so on through
Texas to the City of Mexico,"
"Ar you's gwine to run' it rights
through my plantation?' l
"Yes."
"Do you hear , that, old yipman?
We've got to move!" - - -
"Not necessarily. All we want is
the right of way."
"Wail—you can have that air, hut
who'd a thought a railroad would
ever hit us."
"You have a good farm here?"
"Yes—yes so middlint."
"!low many acres?"
"About four thousand."
"Not many improvements?"
"No—it takes me-so long looking
after the cattle, I can't improve very
much."
"Have
you got a good well on the
premises?"
"—Yes--a elippin' good 'an, only
it leaks a little."
"Leaks? How's that ?"
"You see, 1: - 0 dug down forty feet
when we came to rock, but no water.
Then I walled it up, and haul the wa
ter from the river, about forty barrels
a day, and till it. We don't use mor'n
five barrels a day; the rest leaks out
somiihow. I was 'gw I ne, ter dig an
other well next year, but 'praps I can
hire the water hauled on the cars
cheaper than I can build!"
For thirteen years this old planter
had hauled forty barrels of water a
day to empty into the rock-bottomed
hole, rather than dig a new well, or
bring water in a -pipe from a spring
only a mileaway.
Au Awkward Mistake.
A curious story was Current in
West End , circles some years ago.
The Duke of Welling,tnn received a
note which he believed emanated
from the Bishop of London, request

both alarmed and surprised, imme
diately ordered the •`small clothes"
to be forwarded?. to St. James Square,
with the following characteristic
epistle : "F. M. the Duke of Welling.
ton presents his compliments to the
Bishop of London, and is not aware
that the breeches he wore on the oc.
casion of the battle of Waterloo differ
materially from many other pairs in
his Grace's possession, but they are
very much at the Bishop's service,
and he can make any use of them he
thinks proper." The Bishop's con
sternation on receipt of the above.
with its accompanying, parcel, shed
the effect of inducing him -immedi
ately to order his carriage and drive
to the Prime Minister with this sad
proof of the wreck of his Grace's
mental powers, whilst the" "Duke,"
on the other hand, mounted his

Lord Chancellor with a similar an
nouneMent in rvspect to the. Bishop,
producing the note he had that morn•

but "Miss Loudon," daughter of the
great landscape gardener, and her
self an artist of some celebrity; asking
his Grace's permi ss ion to sketch not
the "Waterloo breeches," but a

The Duke had mistaken "Lohtliin"
for "London," the Bishop's usual

—Attempted Suicide.— Asa Mc.
Clelland, a young man aged some
where in twenty. son of Ephram Mc-
Cleiiand, of Richhill township,
Greene county, attempted to take his
own life one day last week. He first
shot himself in the head with a re
volver, the ball striking back of the
ear. and without penetrating the
skull, passed out on the other side of
the head. After doing this and find
ing that he had not committed the
- fatal deed, he then stabbed himself
in the breast with a knife, some two
or three times. The young man is
still living, but with little hopes of
hi. recovery. Insanity was the cause
of the rash act.
