Earthquake Ineidente. A Constantinople correspondent says that it will probably never be known how many persons were killed in that city by the earthquake of last summer. The Turk- ish government has a chronic hatred of facts, and the newspapers were forbidden to publish statistics of the earthquake. What are believed to be moderate estimates place the number of deaths at about one hundred and fifty, and' the number of the wounded at about six hundred. The correspondent cannot help praising the courage of the firemen stationed on watch at the top of a tower more than two hundred feet high. They stuck to their post, although the tower swayed like a flagstaff, and when the fires broke out after the overthrow of dwellings, they gave the signals as usual. Another case of a similiar sort was that of a minaret -builder who had gone up to the top of a minaret to remove a conical cap which thefirst shocks had tiirownaskew. While he was there another shock occurred, and there was another panic in the streets. His assistants, who were in one of the galleries of the minaret, began to run down. stairs, and the mosque servants below shouted to him to come down; but he stay- ed where he was. " If this is going to fall," lie said, " it will fall before I can get out of it;" and be proceeded with his work. Many wonderful escapes occurred. Two men were walking together. A Turk met them, and as is not unusual when a Turk meets foreigners, he pushed in between them, instead of turning to one side. At that instant a atone fell from the building above them, and hit the Turk, who fell dead between the two horrified foreign- ers. But the most marvellous escape was that of a boy three years old. He was run- ning along the street at the base of the city wall just as one of the ancient towers was overthrown. When the dust cleared away he was discovered pinned to the ground by great stones lying on his skirts on each side of him, but himself quite unhurt. What Julius Oesar Missed.

The eighth Earl was a very eccentric old gentleman who, although he was ordained as a clergyman of the Church of England and was engaged in missionary work at the time, was far from leading a life in keeping with his sacred calling. He became involved in some scandal in England which led to his being deprived of his rectorship, and emigrated to South Africa, where he was at the time of his death as overseer of some grazing property. He was thrice' married during the course of his long life, his first and second me'ife being respeesively of Irish and Scotch birth. His third and surviving partner he wedded at Wynberg in South Africa, the bride being a , full-blooded negress, and the matrimonial knot being tied, not according to Christian ceremony, but in accordance with native rites, which will not bear description.

People were soon found to advance money on the strength of her claims, and, escorted by her lawyer and by her son, who was alinoat as coal -black as herself, she sailed for Eng- land where she arrived in due course under the name of Countess of Stamford, her boy being described as the earl of that ilk. She lost no time in asserting her rights, and the case was brought before the House of Lords for decision. After considerable discussion and investi- gation the Upper Chamber came to the conclusion that,while the marriage between the old Earl and his Hottentot Venus was perfectly valid on the ground of lax Ioci, yet that the son was illegitimate according THE WV BLACK PEER DISHAVE THE HOUSE Or.

Much discomfited, the widow Countess returned to the Cape of Good Hope with her lawyer and her son, and she has since married a full.blooded negro, this beim the sole inptauce where a Xeeress to the British realm is united in Matrimony of a gentleman of color. Before she left England, however, she was able to secure an annuity as the eighth Earl's widow, from the Stamford estates, which are still held by the aged widow of the seventh Earl, who nsed,previous to her marriage, to he known ay the name of Kitty Cox,and Was one of the best-known eharaoters in London, especially with the jeunesse doree, Stec Heada-he is a malady which Makes its appearance most frequently in women. The attack often begins in the morning, upon awakening, after a night of restlessness or heavy sleep ; though it is especially wont to occur in connection with emotional disturbances, such as excitement, fright or mental strain. The pain is usually localized, being in one or the other, more frequently the left side of the head. It is generally accompanied by great disturbance of the stomach, when light pains the eyes ; noises otherwise unnoticed afflict punishment; odors excite nausea. From the fact that people with strong nerves are never troubled with Sick Headache, it is generally conceded by the most eminent phy- sicians that it is dependent upon weak nerves or nervous debility, and can only be permanently cured by strengthening the nervous system. The Great South American Ncr. vino Tonic is the only remedy manu- factured which is prepared espeoially and expressly for the nerves. It acts directly on the nerve centres at the base of the brain, correcting any derangement there may be, greatly increasing the supplyof nervous etiergv of nerve force, giving great tone to the whole body, and thereby' enabling a system subject to Sick Headache to withstand future attacks. It gives relief in one day and speedily effects a permanent cure. Mrs. Isabella S. Graham, of Friendswood, Indiana, writes: "For a number of years I have suffered intensely with Nervous and Sick Headache ; had hot flashes, was sleepless and became despondent. Dr. Faris, of Bloomington, Indiana, spoke so highly of South American Nervine that I was induced to buy a bottle. That purchase led to a few others, and now I sleep soundly, feel buoyant, strong and vigorous. I would not be back in the condition I was in when I began taking this medicine for any sum you could name." Mrs. J. H. Prouty, of La Gr lingo, Indiana, writes: "Your South Amer- ican Nervine worked a marvellous cure with me last year. I began taking it last April about the 20th. The first week I made a gain of 10 lbs. and from that time en I made a steady gain until. I reached my normal weight, making in all a total gain of 80 lbs. After taking it three 4 or four months I found ` myself a 'well Woman." C. LUTZ 'Sole Wholesale and Retail Agent for Exeter, Ds,. MODAIRMI», Agent, I'Ionsall,
