A Stange But True Storj.
Many decades ago a vessel from Bos?
ton arrived at a dock in London. Among
the hands on board was one named Tu?
dor, a steady) well-looking young man,
who acted as a sailor. Very early one
morning a young, beautiful young woman
beautiful and decently dressed woman
came tripping down to the vessel and in?
quired of Tudor for tbe captain. She
was told he was not risen, but she Insisted
in seeing him without delay. Tudor
called him up, and she addressed him
with:
"Good morning, captain 1 I have call?
ed to see if you will marry me 1"
"Marry yon ?"?believi?g her to be a
suspicious character?"leave my vessel
instantly, if yon koow what is your good 1"
She next went to tbe mate and received a
similar answer; she then went to where
Tudor was, being engaged In handling
Bbiptacks, and put tbe Bame question to
him. "With all my heart," answered
Tudor, in a jocular manner. "Then,"
said she, "come aloDg with me." To
dor left bis work and followed her. By
the time the principal Bhops were open?
ed the lady entered a barber's shop fol?
lowed by Tndor. She ordered a knight
of tbe rasor to clip bis beard and bair,
both of which he stood in need. She
paid the bills and entered a hat store.
She requested tbe best of beavers in the
store, and then told Tudor to select one
and be did so the price being paid by
tbe lady. Tudor threw his old tarpaulin
aside. They next visited tbe shoe store
and selected a pair of boots, tbe lady also
paying for them. Tudor, by this time,
was puzzled to devise the object tbe lady
had in view. He solicited an explana?
tion, but she told him to be silent. She
led the way into a clothing store. Here
Tudor was told to get tbe best suit in
tbe store. The man of tar bedaubed
pants and checkered shirt was in a few
minutes metamorphosed into as. fine a
gentleman as walks tbe streets, the bill,
as before, being paid by the lady. Tu
dor's amazement was now complete. He
?again and again earnestly insisted on an
explanation; the only answer be receiv?
ed was: "Follow me and be not afraid;
all will be explained to your satisfaction."
He resolved, therefore, to ask bo more
questions. Next she conducted bim into
a magistrate's office and politely request
ed tbe minister of the law to unite her
and her companion in matrimony. This
was rather a damper to Tudor, but he
yielded.' Tbe ceremony over, the couple
were pronounced man and wife. With?
out uttering a word or exchanging a kiss,
Tudor and his wife left tbe office, not,
however, until she had paid the magis?
trate his iee. Tbe couple walked in si?
lence, Tudor hardly knowing what he
was doing or had done. Turning tbe
corner, he saw a splendid house, toward
which the wife directed her Blebs and
into which they entered, passing into a
room that was furnished in a magnificent
style. She told him to sit down and
' make himself contented while she went
into another room. The first one who
addressed her was her uncle, who asked
her how she escaped from her room and
where she had been. Hef only answer
wast "ThotTHend in human shape; I
allow you just one hour in which to re?
move your effects from this house. You
have long deprived me of my property,
and meant to through life; but yon are
frustrated. I am mistress of my own
house. I am married, and my husband is
herel"
We must leave the newly married con
pie for the purpose of giving the history
of Mrs. Tudor. She was the only child
of a wealthy gentleman, Mr. A ,
his daughter's name being Elisa. He
had been at great expense in her educa?
tion, she being tbe only object of his care,
his wife dying when she was quite young.
A short time before hin death he made a
will by which his brother was to have
all the property nntil his daughter was
married, when it was to be given op to
her husband; but if she died without
marrying, the property was to go to her
uncle aud his family. After the death
of Mr. A-, Mb brother removed in?
to his honae and Eliza boarded in his
family. She soon discovered that her
uncle did not intend that she should ever
marry. He shut her np in one of tbe
centre rooms of the third story and re?
fused her associates by telling them
when they called that she had goue on a
journey. The unfortunate girl was shut
off from the world for three years. Her
scanty breakfast happened to be carried
to her one morning by her old servant
Juan. Seeing the face of her old friend
and servant, Eliza burst into tears. Juan
well understood tbe meaning.
"Hush, Eliza 1 Some of your old ser?
vants have long been planning for your
escape."
"What 1" exclaimed Eliza, "is it possi?
ble that I am to be delivered from this
place."
It is unnecessary to detail all the min
nitia of the escape. Suffic- it to say that
on the morning of the fourth day after
the interview, ehe made her escape.
This was about daylight. She immedi?
ately bent her steps to the wharf where
I the Boston vessel lay,
The amazement of Tudor and trans?
port of his wife in tbe sudden change of
his fortune may possibly be Conceived
but Cannot be expressed.
One pleasant morning some days after
the marriage, the crew of the Boston ves?
sel's attention was drawn to a splendid
carriage approaching the wharf. The
driver let down the steps and a gentle?
man and lady elegantly dressed alighted.
Tbe gentleman asked the captain what
port be was from, and many other ques?
tions?all tbe time avoiding his scrutiny.
At last, turning to tbe captain and call?
ing him by name, be said: "Captain,
before leaving your vessel permit me to
make you acquainted with Mrs. Tudor."
The captain and those about bim at once
recognized bim to be their old friend and
shipmate Tudor, whom they had sup?
posed some accident had befallen. You
may judge of the congratulations that
followed.
The captain rrgretted bis harsh judg?
ment be had at first passed upon the
young lady, but unlike the mate, being a
married man, he was spared the added
mortif ication of the latter that he spurned
even to consider so fortunate an offer of
marriage.
This remarkable marriage, the bride
being snatched from prison walls, as it
were, and the groom being called from
( he hard and bumble lot of a common
railor, brought suddenly and unexpect?
edly to a position of freedom and afflu
once?has hardly a parallel in all history.
Th? ? ? uit? : hus formed proved to be a
r*?ry l.*pj y ?ne. The large fortune that
fell i|u?l3r the active management of'
Frederick Tudor was wisely handled and
largely increased. In due time Mr. and
Mrs Tudor transferred their residence to
Boston.
With shrewd foresight Mr. Tudor
entered largely into the ice business,
being the first person to make any ?hip
ments of ice by sea. His venture was
made in 1805, when he sailed himself
with a cargo of ISO tons, in his own brig,
to Martinque, West Indies. In 1815 Mr.
Tudor obtained the monopoly of the
Havana ice busioess, and important
privileges from the Cuban government.
In May, 1833, be sent bis first cargo of
ice to the East Indies, which was
delivered in the autumn of tbat year. Of
the 180 tons, nearly one half of it was
wasted on the voyage and in going up
the Ganges. The ice was Bold .immedi?
ately, at no more than balf the cost of
that prepaid by the natives In 1824
the first cargo of ice was shipped to Bra
Bil by Mr. Tudor, and until 1836 he bad
the monopoly of the shipment of ice, but
it finally became so large and profitable
that others entered into the business from
various ports.
Mr Tudor's foresight secured to Boston
the chief portions of the Calcutta trade,
and gave her ship's.cargoes for Southern
ports, tbus reducing the cost of
freighting Southern products to the North

tates in Boston and viciuity, where rep?
resentatives of the family still reside, are

been noted for public spirit, intelligence
and refinement.?Boston Commonwealth.
It Was Curing H im.
Our fellow-townsman, says the M"di
son, Ga., Courier, tells the following geod
story on himself:
' Sotre time ago I was stricken with
muscular rheumatism which laid me up
in bed for several days. I was under a
physician's care and everything moved
along smoothly toward my recovery, but
I was impatient. At last 1 got hold of
some libament tbat was very hot and ap?
plied it to my neck. The linament was
possessed of good medical properties and
did me good. It helped me bo much
that I thought it a wonderful medicine.
One day Mr. N. 0. Murray came down
from Kingston and I noticed his neck
was drawn out of shape and on inquiry
found that be was Buffering with the
same disease that had attacked me. I
told him of the wonderful linament and
what it bad done for me. He wanted to
try it, of course, and I promised to bring
the bottle up when I returned to the
store from dinner. I went home at noon
and ale dinner, and being in a hurry, as
I passed out through the sitting room, I
picked up a bottle that was sitting on the
mantle shelf, supposing it to be the bot?
tle of linament. Late tbat evening Mr.
Murray came to the store for bis medi?
cine. I produced the bottle and handed
it to him, giving him strict caution about
using it, as I told him it was made of
veiy hot ingredients, and unless he was
careful it would blister. I told him to
tell his wife to be careful in applying it
to the back of his neck, for if she used
mach her hands would be blistered. He
went borne and tbat night, being afraid
he wohld blister Mrs. Murray's hands
with the linament, betook a very small
mite on his own finger and applied it to
his neck. He waited for the burning
sensation but it failed to come. Mrs.
Murray asked him if the linament was
burning. No; but it was relieving tbe
pain. A good application of the medi?
cine was put on and Mr. Murray retired
for tbe night. He arose next- morning
much relieved and believed tbe medicine
was possessed of wonderful curative
properties. About tbat time I discovered
that I had sent Mr. M. a bottle of ma?
chine oil instead of linament. A letter
was sent explaining matters and a note
reading something like the following
was received from Mr. Mnrray in tbe re
ture mail: "My Dear Mr. McGee: I re?
ceived your letter and also the linament
to day, bot the machine oil wsb curing
me alright, ifyou hadn't told me it was
not medicine and broke the charm."
Mr. McGee thinks tuere is something
in "Faith Cure" after all, and Bays per?
haps the easiest way to CUre disease is
through the imagination instead of the
stomach.
From Prosperity to Poverty.
We have only to Btudy the every day
life around us to realize tbe truth of the
scriptural saying that "riches have
wings."
A few days ago our news columns con?
tained a brief statement to tbe effect tbat
a man in New York who had once rank
ed with the money kings of the metropo?
lis had been arrested for stealing a loaf
of bread worth eight cents. Greed led
this man into Unsuccessful speculations,
and at last, friendless and penniless, bis
thrift degenerated into theft, and the jail
saved him from starvation.
And now it is announced that Henry
Hugh McCosh, once tbe right hand man
of A. T. Stewart, the dry goodB prioce,
dropped dead, last Friday, in a dirty
alley in tbe slums of New York. Suc?
cess turned bis bead and made him a
drunkard. He squandered his fortune,
and a man he had befriended paid bim
$1 a day as a sort of pension. This sum
was expended in liquor, and it turned
the once prosperous merchant into the
bloated corps of a pauper.
Whether men are sober or sottish, vir?
tuous or vicious, wise or foolish, they
cannot with any degree of certainty
count on tbe favors of fickle fortune.
One is wrecked through his good and
strong points, and another through bis
tad and weak points. The shrewdest
man of business may get to the top of the
hill only to make a precipitate descent,
while his Silly Billy of a neighbor blun?
ders into tbe place left vacant.
But it is a small matter?this descent
from riches to poverty?when we take
tbe right view of it. The millionaire
and the mendicant of to-day are bound
to find themselves on the same level in
another world, and if one goes up and
the other goes down in this world, why
should anybody cry ? We have been
forewarned tbat these things must be ex?
pected.?Atlanta Coi\stitution.
? During a heavy thunderstorm near
Somerville, Tenn., Thursday afternoon,
a lightning bolt struck the dwelling of
Matthew Boylan while the family of
nine persons was sitting around the fire.
Mrs. Boylan and two children were in?
stantly killed and Boylan himself severe?
ly shocked. One of the children killed
was holding a baby in her arms, but the
infant was not hurt. Another child was
injured by a piece of tin which the bolt
tore from the cupboard door and drove
through her wrist, A dog and chicken

A private in tbe Seventy-fifth New
York regiment during the war waa ono
Schermerborn) whoui everybody called
"Skimmy" for short, and of whom Mr.
George Seymour of this city relates the
following story: Skiramy enlisted un?
der the impression that the country
would not require bis services longer than
two or three months, end the trip t? the
front assumed the aspect of an excursion
or picnic to him. The regiment fought
its way down into Louisiana, and one
day the boys found themselves near
Brashear. About two dozen of them
were de. "iyed as sharpshooters, and as
the ener was Acting very lively tho
sharps voters scattered out to find
the very jest position for effective work.
After an hour's quiet blazing away at
the Confederate*, Seymour started for a
spot some distance on his left, which ap?
peared to offer better advantages for his
line of business. On the way through a
piece of woods he was joined by by two
of his comrades, who proposed to go with
him. The trio was just nearing the
opening when tbey saw a short distance
away their comrade Skimmy sitting bolt
upright in the crotch of a rail fence
without his gun, and the Confederate
sharpshooters sending bullets at him like
hail.
They were at a loss to understand the
situation at first, but on closer examina?
tion they discovered a little specimen
sitting 20 feet away on the ground with
his gun pointed at Skimmy, and langh?
ing and singing every time a bullet whiz
zed by the poor fellow's body. Coming
on the rascal from the rear, they put
a stop to bis fun by making bim a prison?
er.
Skimmy climbed down from bis perch
and delivered a few earnest remarks.
Said he: "Boys, I've alwayB allowed I
could lick any four rebels that run agin
me, but I want to count that little whif?
fet out Of tbe crowd. Why, the durned
little cusb has kept me settin' in that
crotch for three quarters of an hour, and
I'll bet 500 bullets have passed me in
that time. I've lost a finger and there's
a furrow along one side of my head. If
we take bim to camp, I'll never
hear the last of it. Let bim skip and
keep it to ourselves."
Tbe prisoner was released, and tbe
story never got to the ears of the
commanding officer.?St- Louis Post Bis

The Wearing of Clothes.
The Tribune has found out sr mehow
that there are in the world 500,000,000 of
fully clad people, 700^000,000 of partly
clad people and 250,000,000 of naked
people. We say that the naked millions
have a perfect right to live in naked
ness. They do uot need clothes for
warmth or comfort, and they do not need
them for any other reason. They do not
ask any other people to go naked, and
the other people have no business to ask
them to wear things. There are lots of
respectable men and women among the
naked milions who mind tbeir own af?
fairs. We do not suppose that tbe men
of the Niger and Congo would be willing
to live in this world if they had to wear
Coats, vests, trousers, plug bats and leath?
er boots, or that tbe womeu would find
life tolerable if dressed up in gowns, bon
nets, shawls, boopskirts and other things.
Most of tbe nude and seminude peo
pie of our race are in Africa, and they
don't want us to bother them. Most of
the clothed and eemiclad people are in
Asia, Euaope and America, and they
ought to be willing to let their African
brethren enjoy the sunshine. Yet the
people who wear clothes are perpetually
urging the naked people to buy and
wear them. It is impudence. A naked
persoD may be better and wiser than a
clothes wearer. He may be pious, vir?
tuous, sensible, industrious, brave and
democratic.
Another thing is to be said of tbe na?
ked millions. They drink very little
whiskey or beer, smoke very few cigar
ettes.
The Comfort of Glrtag.
A minister tells an instructive story
about giving. In one of bis charges a
good man regularly contributed every
Lord's day five dollars for tbe support of
Church, and as regularly a poor widow
put in five cents, all she could spare, as
she supported herself and s.x children
by taking in washing. One day the
former came to tbe minister and said
that the latter ought not to pay any?
thing, and that he would pay the five
cents for her every week. The minister
called to fell her of this offer, which he
did as delicately as he could. What
was ber reply as tbe tears started to ber
eyes? "Do they want to take from me
the comfort I experience in giving to the
Lord ? Think how much I owe to him 1
My health is good, my children keep
well, and I receive so many blessings
that I feel I could not live if I did not
make my little offering to Jesus each
week." How few can read this simple
narrative without feeling rebuked for
their insensibility to God's exceeding
goodness.? 7he Treasury.'
A Mitigating Circumstance.
The prisoner at the bar was charged
with being drunk and disturbing the
neighbors for four blocks on his street.
"What have you to say ?" inquired the
court. ?
"Guilty, yonr honor, but there's miti?
gating circumstances."
"I hadn't heard of them," said the
judge in surprise.
"There was a new baby at our bouse,
your honor."
"That's nothing. You already had six
children, hadn't you.?"
"Yes, your honor, all girls. This one
is a boy."
Tbe judge held up the fine and the
prisoner went out looking pleased.

A Question of Choice.
Whether from their natural egotism. 01
owing to the custom of thought, men
generally believe that every single wo?
man in the world is only waiting for a
chance to marry, and that outside of that
goal life is colorless and vapid to her.
Now, for once, all-wise men is mistaken.
Marriage is not the one great aim and
object in the life of the woman of to day,
though every purely feminine heart beats
a little faster at the thought of domestic
blias and maternal jo^o that may come
to her through marriage with seme good
man.
That is only natural, but the man must
be worthy to be acceptable. The old
time false idea about sour old maids has
practically died out, and many sensible
women prefer to live single to the eud of |
tbeir days in an atmosphere of cheerful
content rather than ally themselves to
any man who asks them, simply to avoid
being called that wretched misnomer.
Our progressive sisters have learned
many ways of taking care of themselves
that make them practically independent
of man's support; therefore, they must
better tbeir condition before joining
bands before the altar with the first mas
culine who does them the honor of pro?
posing to them.
It is a broad and sweeping assertion,
but a true one, nevertheless, that no wo?
man Jives, no matter bow scrawny or
ugly she may be, wbo has not bad, or
will have, at least ene offer of marriage
during her lifetime. Women are single
from choice rather than necessity, aud
though every gentle heart longs for love
and sympathy, the practical woman's
mind is keenly alive to her own indepen?
dence, and a matrimonial alliance must
possess merit to recommend itself, for
she knows that the world has discovered
tbe fact that any woman can marry if
she wants to, but she can't undo it so
easily. Therefore, caution is needed;
for the honor of having Mrs. So-and so
engraved on one's visiting cards is not
sufficient recompense in ber eyes for
jumping out of the frying pan into the
fire.?Philadelphia Times.
Nativity or the t'otato.
There is as mueh mystery as history
connected with tbecoramou tuber called
the potato. Its nativity, original place
in tbe kingdom of nature, and several
other things regarding it are still open
questions. As to its nativity the weight
of argument seems to favor the tropical
or subtropical regions of America; There
is a tradition that the vines once grew to
monstrous size, and that the "balls" were
of the "biguess of melons," and at that
time the roots were not tubers, the edible
parts growing among the branches. It
seems that they were first introduced
into Europe in the year 1565. Haskell's
"Roots and Wild Plants" says: "Wam
kins first fetched a queer, bulbous root
out of America which some called a 'bo
dado/ while others, wbo bad beard tbe
Peruvians mention it, spoke of it as a po?
tato." Periam's Cyclopedia of Agricul?
ture says that Sir John Wamkins found
it growing wild near Santa Fe de Bogota
at an altitude of 8,000 to 13,000 feet. He
also says' that it was "fetched out of
America" at about the time settled upon
by H-tskell, viz , in the year 1565.
Early Purchases of the Indians.
Captain West in tbe year 1610 bought
the present site of Richmond, Va., for
'some copper." The Dutch Governor,
Miouit, bought the whole of Manhattan
I-*land, the present site of the city of
New York, "lor 60 Dutch gilder?, acme
of them being of a doubtful metal.''
Lord Baltimore's company bodght thous
ands of acres of fine lands for less than
that number of glass beads, including
the site of the city or Christiana, "f r
which was paid one iron kettle of tbe
bigness of five quarts or thereabouts "
Roger Williams bought Rhode Island,
"Little Rbody,'' for "40 fathoms of while
beads, strung." It has only been 255
years this spring since tbe site of New
Haven, Conn . was bought for '12 coats
of English cloth, 12 spuons of mixed me?
tal, 12 hoes, 12 hatchets, 12 porringers,
24 knives aud some French knives and
spoons,"

? The increased acreage will so reduce
the price of cotton that Texas proposes to
raiso colton seed;
? The whole number of males in the
United States is .33,067,880, and the whole
number of females 30,55-1,370.
? The closest city, politically, in the
United States is Wilmington, Del., which
Cleveland carried against Harrison by
one vote.
? Whether tbe prevailing epidemic in
La Grippe, a Catarrhal cold, or a typo of
acute Bronchitis, there is ono thing cer?
tain, Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is the most
reliable and universally popular remedy
for it. It loosens the cough, starts the
phlegm, and promotes expectoration. It
is prompt to act, sure to cure.
? France is calculated to have suffered
losses amounting to 8140,000,000 in the
last forty years, due to inundations in
places where the mountains were not
wooded sufficiently to check the ravages
bf torrents after heavy rains. To rem?
edy this evil tho French Legislature has
voted over $500,000 to begin the planting
of trees on tho mountains. It is hoped
to complete the work In twelve or fifteen
years.
? Thank goodness tbe Columbian po?
rous plaster 2 cent postage stamps will
soon be a thing of the past. Postmasier
General Bissell has signed their death
warrant, and the old familiar "brick
dust" Washington medallion will again
enjoy its solitary reign.
? There lately died in Mexico a miser
of the name of Monecke. His relatives
were unwilling that his body should be
interred, as be had tattooed his will over
his chest with some red pigment instead
of using pen and ink. The Court de?
creed that tbe remarkable "humau docu
ment" should be copied and the repre
sentation duly attested in the presence of
witnesses. This was done, and tbe Court
baa pronounced the queer will genuine.
? Tourists visiting the Indian and
Banana rivers in Florida are astonished
and amazed at the antics of tbe mullets
of those streams. These fish grow to be
fivo or six pounds in weight, and are
famous jumpers, They leap from tbe
wa;er, shoot three or four feet through
the air, come up agaiu and iesp twice as
far, and keep on for half a dozen of
leaps, each longer the other. Now and
then a mullet takes a leap of fifteen or
twenty feet and disappears. It happens
not infrequently that a leaping mullet
falls into a passing boat.
? The German residents of Chicago are
in a state of high glee over the prospects
of the young Kaiser paying a visit to the
World's Fain
? Sir Robert Rail, lecturing at the
Royal Institution, London, said that the
stars nearest to us were 20,01)0,000,000,000
miles distant. An electric current would
travel seven times around the earth in
one second. If the tidings of the first
Christmastide in Bethlehem had been
sent at this rate ( 181,000 miles per second)
so remote were some of the stars that they
could not receive tho message for a long
time yet.
? Two weeks ago yesterday Walter
Layer, a lad of eighteen, of Wadeswortb,
Ala., died after a brief illness. The next
day his brother Willie, a young man of
twenty-two, died. Close upon these
deaths Johnnie and Rufus, two younger
brothers, died, making four in all, the
only sons of Mrs. R. F. Layer, a widow
lady. Monday Aleck Williams, son-in
law of Mrs. Layer, and hia wife died
within an hour's time of each other. Yes?
terday Mrs. Coroelia, Mrs. Layer's other
married daughter, was lying very low,
and little hopes of her recovery enter?
tained. The number of deaths in the
family were seven, as Miss Emma, an?
other daughter, aged seventeen, died last
Thursday. Tho people are becoming so
alarmed that it is almost impossible to
get help sufficient to attend to the needs
of the dead and dying. Dr. R. L. Hud
dleston of Wadesworth has been the at?
tending physician, and has had associa?
ted with him other physicians of skill
and intelligence, but thoy all aro power?
less to stay the progress of death
when once this fatal malady seizes its
victim.

YOUR HOME !

No present you could make your family would

on a Piano two or three years ago you would now
have it paid for.
If you don't begin soon old ago may overtake
you, ami you will go thiough life with an unfur?
nished and cheerless home.
Why delay ?
Pianos are cheap, very cheap. Never so good
for tue money. Less than une-half their cost for?
