A Sad Fat.
Tie Chicago Times gives the follow-
ing partLC4llarS of the sadfate of
the daughter of a one prominent
Canadian. It says: The daughter
of Edmund Burke Wood, late chief .
e. justice of the Province a Mani-
tobe, who died in 1882, is a petitioner
for divorce in the circuit court from a
husband who, it is alleged, imposed
upou her shamefully, and contributed
nothing to her support. The defendant
*is Jetties Frederick Doran, the • petition-
er, Mary Augusta Doran. Her bill re-
lates graphically the storyof her mar-
ried life. She married Doran in Winni-
peg, on March 20th, 1883. He was an
employe in a branch of the Bank of
Montreal, at Winnipeg. She was seven-
teen years of age, inexperienced, as she
says, and unaccustomed to deceit or
faleehood. Doran won her maiden af-
feetions. He had. the appearance of a
gentleman. He told her that his own
father was dead, that his grandfather
liv'ed in Montreal, was a imam of • meant
and influence, and that he had written
the defendant a letter requesting him to
marty and come to Montreal to reside,
where his grandfather would place him
in a lucrative position on a large salary,
give him $100 per Month addition, and
buy and furnish a nice house. Flushed
with the bright prospect of a residence
in. Montreal and the Social eclat which
an income of &couple of hundred a month
would insure, she wedded him, and
started for 'tdentreal. On the way the
groom asked permission to carry his
bride's money. She nnituspectingly
handed him over $400, which it afters'
ward turned out he used t� pay the ex-
penses of the trip, having left Winnipeg
without a nailer of his own. The
pleasant anticipations of Mrs. Doran
were soon dashed to the ground when,
on reaching Montreal, there was no
grandfather to receive them. Doran
carried her to Lachine Rapids, a little
village near Montreal, where she met
the alleged well -to do grandfather,James
Doran, who informed her that his
esteemed grandson was a tiega.boncl, and
gav-e her the further reassuring infor-
mation that he was a defaulter to the
Barth of Montreal in $1,500,; that he had
neither money nor reputation, and
could not get a "position in Montreal if
he paid for it. Mr. Dorant sen., said he
had written no letter to his prontising
kinsman, offering him a position, and
that making good James Frederick's de-
falcationshad almost broken Ian. James
Doran, out of pity, -kept the wronged
woman at his house until May, 1885,but
she never saw anything of the $400 she
had confidingly loaned her help meet
With heart bowed down; Mrs. Doran
telegraphed to her mother at Manitoba.
Doran frankly confessed that he could
not support her. She could not remain
in Winnipeg, and came to Chicago and
asks for a divorce on the ground of non-
support—Chicago Times.
Stories of Ducks.
• The duck is considered a particularly
unintereating and prosaic aniinal. Yet
I venture to affirm that in point a in-
telligence, social kindness, and sagacity
it is vastly superior to the barn -door oe
any other dock or hen. I have kept and
closely watehed hundreds of clucks, I
never saw them fight with one another,
and never knew- a duck the aggressor in -
a dispute with any other kind of foul.
But 1 have witnessed some striking in-
stances of charity and kindness in duels.
Let one such ease suffice. Among some
fifty er sixty -head of ducks and fowls, I
once had a solitary little old bantam
hen.. She became blind, or nearly so,
and, like other birds in that condition,
"sulked," as it is called—i, a, •kept by
herself in a dark retired corner of the
fowl -house, knowing instinctively that
'her cruel and cowardly brethren and
sisters would persecute her. to death if
she appeared among them. Here she
might perhaps have starved but for the
constant and sympathetic attentions of a
duck. Twice daily so long as this poor
bantam lived, some three weeks, this
good Samaritan in the form of a cluck
was observed to fill her capacious beak
with from twenty to thirty grains of
barley-, with which she proceeded to the
fowl -house and there deposited her store
immediately in front of the bantam.
Several of my family, as well as myself,
were frequent witnesses of this beauti-
ful incident. One more anecdote in evi-
dence of the sagacity of the duck. I
had five Aylesbury ducks, with a num-
ber of fowls. The lord of the yard,
a despotic chanticleer, would never suf-
fer the ducks to feed with his fainily
and friends when, at the regular meal
times, the grain was scattered for , their
common use. Ferociously and without
pity he drove them from the ,ground.
This had been going on for many weeks,
and one day at the twelve o'clock repast
the act of expulsion was performed as
usuel. I was present, and saw the dis-
comfited dueks retire to a corner of the
yard. They had evidently held a con-
ference. Having been so engaged for
five minutes, they proceeded with delib-
erate and resolute air, in single file, as
is their wont, toward their oppressor.
Hexing reached the tyrant they
surrounded him, each duck turning
its back toward the enemy, and
with concerted action fairly hustled him
elean out of the yard. To see the stir -
prise of of the cock, as he jumped from
side to f-ide to avoid the pressure of the
attacking party was ludicrous in the ex-
treme. - The Spectat r.
Parsorl; Brown and the Witch.
In North Canaan, Conn., fifty years
and more ago, lived a worthy family of
the name of Boardman. In the rear of
their old-fashioned brawn farm house
was a woodshed,with a roorn above used
as a storehouse. , This could be ,reached
by an inclined plane, and from it a low
door, fastened with a loose button, led
into the rear kitchen chamber, where
hung strings of red peppers, herbs, seed-
corn, alai the It was late in the
autiusue" says the Boston Globe, in
which we find the story, "and Mr.
Boardman had harvested and husked his
corn, and had spread it out on the
kiteliee chamber floor a foot in deptleso
as to give it a chance to dry and become
marketable. The Boarclmans heard
noises in the kitchen chamber, and it
was believed that witches were at work.
One night they were puzzled. They sent
for Parson Brown, who lived but a short
distance away, and he came with his
camlet cloak and severe aspect. They
listened at theloot of the narrow stair-
. a -ay, ti Idch led- up into the kitchen
chamber, and they heard the steady
groaning of something evident/3r in dis-
tress.
-
, Parsed" Brown reverently uncovered
his head and said, Let us pray r Jie
said hat the family had recently been
attic ed by the powers of darkness, and
he p yed for strength to go up aad cope
with he enemy of mankind. It was
after nine o'clock when he rose from his
kne and asked Sister Boardman to
brin him a lantern to fano the witches.
The oonwas opened„ and, lantern in
han he went up the narrow staircase:
Slo ly he went uleand the rays piercing
thro gh the holes cut in the tin lantern
sho e to the end of the kitchen chamber. •
He w a pair of ' bright eyes, heard a
.gr , and then there came rushing to-
wer hint a, terrible monster. it was to
all i tents and purposes a four -footed
witc of Endhr, , or, more exactly, of
North Canaan. It rushed between the
pars n's legsnand the folds of the cam
I -
letc oak were tightly wrapped about
the back of the monster, , and his legs
wert1also fast. Down the stairs, rat-
tlety -bang, with wild grunts and shrieks
camethe strange being, with the parson
riding- down the stairs backward, the
lantern beating time OD the steps and
other opposhig objects. The neighbors
below rushed for the door, and the mon-
ster, !finding the door open, -rushed out.
The parson was caught by the sill and
thrown an the floor of the porch. To
say that the assemblage of half a dozen
were frightened nearly to death just
about describes the situation. •
" What was this uneatthly presence?
"It was in old sow, of Boardman's
that Was involuntarily playing witch.
Tireci of confmementin her pen :she got out,
walked up the inclined iplane, which
happ ned to be in Lposition, and; once in
the loodhouse chembenshe could easily
open the small door and get into the
kitch n chamber, Where was plenty of
corn. She overate, and her groaning
and gte tinting, caused by indigestion,was
the liaise of witches whose unearthly
doings Parson Brown was called on to
quell. " :

H race Greeley's Sleeping
Faculty.
Mr Oliver Johnson writes to the
" Chr tian Registers" telling two
remin seances of Horace Greeley to illu-
strate his strange faculty of wakefulness
of the mind -ween his body was apparent-
ly SO1 1 d asleep :
" 1847 or thereabouts, he was deep-
ly int rested in the movement to abolish
capi punishment. A meeting was held
to pre ate this reform in the old Apollo
Hall ' , Broadway, and he had 'been ad-
vertis d as one of half a dozen persons
who ould speak on the occasion. The
meetg had just been opened. when he
was s en, in the ad drab overcoat and
white hat so familiar to New Yorkers at
that i e, entering the hall from Broad-
way. A cheer instantly broke forth,
and t e speaker paused while the good --
man A ade his way through the,crowd to
the pl tformavherel he was given a front
seat d reedy under the eyes of the assem-
bly. e speekerthen resumed ; but
five mi lutes had net elapsed before Mr.
Greet y began to nod his head and sway
his eh st from side to side, as if in a pro-
fessed slumber. It seemed at times as
if he would surely falliout of his chair.
The crowded auclience was made up, for
the in st part, of his admirers, not all of
whom howevet, were aware of his som-
nolent habit.; and , their attention was
divide1cl between hint and the successive
speakers. • At length came his turn to
speak and a cry broke forth, 'Greeley,
Greet y; Greeley I' ' At the e,all of the
an he pullecl himself up with a
cha:
jerk, and shambled.nn his, Awkward way
to the front of the platform. A round
of hearty cheers greeted him as he arose;
and, holding a large yellow silk hand-
kerchief which he passed rapidly from
one h d to the other, apparently to
hide his embarrassMent, he opened his
addre s in these wPrcls, which burned
thems lves into my memory so deeply
that I have never forgotten them : 'Mr.
Chair an, and ladies and gentlemen,
there s one branch of the great subject
benke us this evening to which neither
of the previous speakers has made any
&husk'', and to that I propose to confine
my, remarks.' In.tthntly the whole
assembly caught the joke ; and the hall
resou ded with a langh such as I never
heard before or since. That he should
prete d to know what thepreviousspeak-
ers h41 said seemed to everybody there
perfec Iy ludicrous. I Had he not been
asleep before their very eyes all the
wbiiet How then cpuld he know what
had been said or not, said t And yet I
am sue that he. did .knoiv, and could
have given as clear an account as any
one el e of all that had occurred.
"0i another occasion, I went with
himt hear a discourse from the Rev.
William Henry Cheeping. It was Sun-
day m ming, and the topic announced
was oiie in, which he felt a! special inter-
est. Mr. Channing Was then, in fact,
ministering to a congregationof which
Mr. Greeley wasna, prominent member.
It wan in a hall on the west side of
Broadevay, above Canal Street, where
Dr. Dewey had preached aforetime. On
the way thither, Mat Greeley begged me
to keep him awake. 1 We occupied a set-
tee wi hin six feet of the platform, and
right -Order the eye of the preacher. '; I
tried to keep him awake by frequent
taggiegs at his elbow and playing a - by
no means Soft tattoo upon his ribs. But
it was! of no use. lie was ' nid-nodding'
it
throe h the whole discourse, not a little
-to M. iChanning's annoyance, who
observe& my unnuccessful efforts to keep
his great auditor- awake.
13 it now comes the wonderful part
of my story. Mr. Greeley and I, when
the service was over went down to the
' Tribuee ' office together. He sat down
at his desk at once,and made an abstract
of Mr. Channing's discourse,filling some-
what less than a colturnewhich appeared
in the l ' Tribune ' of the next Morning.
Mr. qhanning was titterly amazed when
he sa it, and afterward asked me if it
was p ssible Mr. Greeley had made the
repor . When I told him that I saw him -
while Ihe was preparing itand could cer-
tify t at it went to the compositor in his
own bandwriting, and that, moreover,
I had myself read the proof,he expressed
the g attest astonishment. 'Why,' said
he, ' J could not myself have made so
accur te'an abstract of my own discourse,
which, though premeditated,was extern-
poran ous. He lute not cinly given the,
subs nce cf what I said,he has followed
my hie of thought, and remembered not
a littl of my language.'"
L
John Keats. _
"Keats, when he died, had just com-
pleted his four -and -twentieth year. He
was u der the middle height; and his
lower tlhnbs were small in comparison
with the upper, but neat and well turn.
ed. 1iis shoulders were very broad for
his s ; he had a face in which energy
and nsibility were remarkably mixed
up; a i eager power, checked and made
1
-patient by ill health. Every feature was
at Once strongly cut and' delicately
alive. If there was any faulty expree-
sion it was in the mouth, which was not
without something of a character of pug-
nacity. The faiite ivas rather leng than
otherwise; the upper lip projected a little
over the under; the Chin was bold., the
cheeks sunken, the eyes mellow and
glowing, large, dark, and sensitive. At
the recital of a noble action or a beauti-
ful thought, they would suffuse with
tears, and his mouth trembled. In this
there was ill health as ,well as imagina-
tion, for he did not like these betrayals
of emotion; and he had great personal
as well as morel courage. He once chas-
tised a butcher, who had been insolent,
by a regular stand-up fight His hair,
of a brown color, was fine, and hung in
natural ringlets. The head wasa puzzle
for the phrenologists, being remarkably
small in the AO ;la singularity which
he had in coinman with Byron and
Shelley, whose hats I could not get on.
Keats was senCilele of the disproportion
above noticed, between his upper and
lower extremities ; and he would look at
his hand, which was faded and swollen
in the veins, a d say it Was the hand of
a man of fifty,'
Drawing an Inference.
A gentlemani in the East of Scotland
had a gardener ealled David, whotilthough
a little eccentric, had .a fair share of
mother wit_ His ,answers were in gene-
ral quaint and appropriate. The gentle-
man had a son, tall andtbulky for his
years, who had been at college, a little
pedantic, fond of displaying his know-
ledge to people whom he thought knew
less than himself. Meeting with David
in the garden one day he commenced a
long harangue on the wonderful dis-
'coveries of science, and finished by shy,
ing, "The inference I draw from what
I have said is this,' Science is but in
its infancy,'" to • which David replied,
"1 kenna muckle about science as ye
ca't, but ae thing a ken frae experience,
an' it's this—' /1n empty barrel aye
souns loudest, and the inference I draw
frae what I hae said is this, the bigger
the barrel, the louder the soun. "—
[Exit Scholar.
A Princess at Good Work.
"It id pleasant," says the London
Christian, to record that when the
Prince and Princess of Wales, after a
fortnight's almost incessant round of
travelling,' were the Sunday guests of
the Duke of Abercore at Baronscourt,
the Princess, after having attended
divine service, visited the room of a
poor working- girl 'in the neighboring
town of Newtonstewart, and I remained
with the dying sufferer for tevo hours.
What passed during the long interview
on that quiet Sabbath afternoon prob-
ably will never be known on earth, for
the girl pissed into eternal reat at few
hours afterwards; but there- is in the
fact a lesson and an: example for those
in less exalted positions who have it in
their power to carry comfort and love
to the homes and hearts of the lowly
and sufferieg, and who profess to be un-
able to find time for the exercise of
such practical Christianity."
Catarih:-a New Treatment.
Perhaps the most extraordinary success that
has been achieved in modern medicine has been
attained by the DLxon Treattnent for Catarrh.
Out of 2,000 patients treated during the Past six
months, fully ninety per cent, have been cured
of this stubborn malady.. This is :none the less
startling when it is remembered that no five per
cent. of patients presenting themselves to the
regular practitioner- are benefitted, while the
patent medicines and other advertised cures
never record a cure at all. Starting with the
claim now generally believed by the most Belem-
tific inen that the disease is due to the presence
of liVing parasites in the tissue, Mr. Dixon at
once adapted his cure to their extermination—
ehis accomplished, he claims the Catarrh is pra,e.
tieally cured, and the permanency is unquestion-
Was cures effected by him four years ago are
cures still. No one else has ever attempted to
cum Catarrh in this manner, and no other treat
'ment has ever cured Catarrh. The application
of the rethedy is siniple, and can be done at
home,, and the present season of . the year is the
most favorable for a speedy and permanent cure,
the majority of cases being mired at one treat-
ment. Sufferers should correspond with Messrs'.
