Y. Jilted American Girls. The notice of the arrival at New York of Earl Roseberry reminds me, says a newspaper correspondent, of the number of American girls who have been jilted by foreigners on account of their lack of fortuue. Settlements always ! form so prominent a part of marriage in the old countries that these foreigners attempt the same stipulations in the : United States. There are more than one of the fair belles of this city who have suffered from this cause. One young lady even went so far as to change her religion in order to remove what the family called an objection. Her lover; departed with the promise of returning, j ; She has never seen him siuce, but shortly after his arrival in France he wrote to announce his marriage to a ladyi whom his father had selected for him on account of the dower she brought. Six , years ago Count Turenne, one of the attaches of the French Legation, plight- ! ed his troth to a beautiful girl in Georgetown. The count met with an accident in his childhood that lias dwarfed his proportions, and produced a lameness from which he will never recover. Notwithstanding these defects, the young lady preferred liim to all other suitors. The count's father refused his sanction to a marriage without the necessary settlement being made. This the young lady's father cannot do, without impoverishing his large family; and, much as they would like to be allied to the great house of Turenne, they are not disposed I to make so great a sacrifice. The count was so jealous of his betrothed that . while he was here he would not permit her to see any company, even with her sisters, in her mother's parlor. When he returned to Europe, five years ago, he ' laid the same injunction upon her. She has been a recluse all this time, while he i enjoys society in Paris and Rome. \ Every six months it is announced that the marriage is to take place, but " He " comes not," she cries. Perhaps he is waiting for his father's death. Most people believe that he is inconstant, and . tlmt he no longer desires his father's t consent. His letters and presents con1 tiuue to arrive, and it may be a case of > true love, but if all is true that is said of ' such alliances, the deserted girls are the most fortunate. Three engagements are i just now announced of Washington girls ' to foreigners, ami each one pleases and r satisfies society. Frozen Bits For Horses' Mouths. t Let any one who has the care of a horse - these cold, frosty mornings deliberately ! grasp in his hand a piece of imn ; indeed, f let him touch to it the tip of his tongue, * and then let him tlirust the bit into the t mouth of his horse, if he has the heart to - l _ # do it. The horse is an animai 01 nervous ! organization. His month is formed of delicate glands and tissues. The temj perature of the blood is the same as in i the human being, and as in man, the mouth is the warmest part of the body. Imagine, we repeat, the irritation that would be caused the human, and consider that, if not to the same degree, still 5 the suffering to the animal is very great. And it is not a momentary pain. Food 1 is eaten with difficulty, and the irritation * | repeated day after day eauses loss of ap1 petite and loss of strength. Many a horse has become worthless from no other I cause than this.

Punch'a plan to prevent railroad u Occidents was to tie a director o* the locomotive, but it must be modified to fit the latest case. A brakeman, who has been arrested ou a charge of manslaughter, testifies that the negligence which brought on an accident and loss o? life resulted from his having had no sleep to speak of for a week, his last trip having been twenty-three hours long. He had not hiken oft' his clothes for seven days. Punch's plan might be enlarged so as to keep the director awake as long as the brakeman is awake, and to keep the director's clothes on as long as the brakeman's clothes. This would -make all tilings even, and save life.

[From bhueon Marquart, Esq., of Owego, X.Y.] "Some years since I was attacked with a severe and distressing cough, the long continuance of wliich ranch alarmed me. From what I had heard of Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry I i concluded to give the preparation a trial, which I did, and by its use obtained immediate and permanent relief. Again, about five years ago, I was taken with a severe hacking cough, ac; comp&nicd with pain in the chest and side, tickling in the throat, etc., which ho reduced my health and strength as to unfit me for attending to my ordinary business. I applied tc well known physicians, and used their prescTfp; tions without any perceptible benefit ; when, after having been confined to my room foi ; several months, I again had recourse to Wistar's Balsam, and to my great joy found, as before, immediate relief, and two bottles restored m< to perfect health." 50 cts. and ?1 a bottle.
