When the venerable and learned
Judge Chrlstlancy married bis land
lady's goldeuhalred daughter, all his
friends feared that It would turn out
to be an ill-assorted match. The dif
ference in age, in tastes and in social
position would have been quite suf
ficient to create domestic discord,
even if the young wife bad been a
person of more than ordinary amia
bility and prudence. After two years'
service in the Senate, Judge Chris
tiancy accepted an appointment as
minister to Peru. It was generally
supposed that he resigned his seat in
order to give his old friend, Zacbariah
Chaudler, an opportunity to return to
the Senate, but there were also rumors
afloat that he was anxious to get away
from Washington on account of do
mestlo infelicities. And now we have
the old story-'-an application for di
vorce for unfsthfulness to the marriage
vow, and counter charges of cruel
treatment It Is a sad thing that a
man of honorable life, upright charac
ter and exalted station should, in his
old days, becomes the conplainant In a
suit which will furnish the gossips of
the whole country with a dainty dish
of scandal. Phlla. Preu.

explosion of the powder set fire to the

could reach him his face, bands, left
side and front was horribly burned.
Immediate steps were taken to relieve
the little fellow of his Intense suffer

night between nine and ten o'clock
wheu he died. His remains were
taken to Kane on ' Monday for inter
ment. The house was considerable
damaged by the explosion. Before the
flames could be extinguished the bed,
bedding and wearing apparel of the
family was entirely destroyed. Mr.
Dahl and wife are a hard working
couple, and being lu destitute circum

Mrs. A. O. Ernhout bad a concert
Saturday evening last. It was very

Miss Mattle Groat It was an excel
lent production and admirably exe
cuted; "The Begger Girl" by Miss
Bendena Veditz aud'Mohny Smoker"
by the little girls, was received by
rounds after round of applause by the
audience. The pupils all did splend
idly for the time they have had to
learn muslo as they are nearly all
small and new beginners and show
that their teacher has not labored in
vain and demonstrates that the time
is not far distant when we will have
an abundance of musical talent.
Financially the concert was a success
as It ought to be and always will be
when deserved.
