Ate enpleaaaut episode occurred in c)nnec.ti, on >vitGh a R •eb rew wpddtog ' on Sunda evening last, in New YQrls. The bride was Ida L. Seckel, dangles ter of Lewis Bectel, of No. 613 Lex. ington avenue, and the bridegroom was Herman Scheyer, a wealthy mer- chant Qf Montreal, and the ceremony was performed_ in the Vienna Hall, by Rev. Dr. 'Koehler. After the ceremony was over, and when the young couple were receiving con- gratulations of their friends, a dis- turbance •arose near the door, and several «etitlemelr hurrying to the place found the cause to be eland - some, dark -eyed little Jewess, who was just falling iuto a faint. She 'was removed'to another room,attended by a doctor, and brought back to con- eciousness. At this juncture the bridegroom went into the room. On seeing him the young woman rose, and with panting breath and flashing eyes, one hand upon her heaving breast, and the other pointing as if to transfix the bridegroom, cried: ' You broke my heart and ruined my life, and now you cast me into the world without a name' 'With this her strengt'lr failed, ani' she sank back on the bed in a swoon. .She after- wards gave her name as Viola Cohen, said she was the daughter of a well- to-do decorator in Montreal, and de- clared that Scheyer had betrayed her under promise of marriage, some two years ago. It appears that on finding out that Scheyer did not intend to fulfil bis promise, she attempted to shoot him on one of the streets of Montreal, the bullet just grazing his arm. Some time after her child was born it was -spirited away, and she has riot seen it since. Miss Cohen left for home the same night she came, still vowing vengeance on 'Scheyer.

Wheu Livingstone visited England after his great exploring tour, he was 'nbch praised for his sacrifices. It was true he had laboured much, but what did he reply to this praise? "People talk of the sacrifices I have made in spending so large a portion of my life in Africa. Oan you call that a sacrifice which is only a small payment on that great debt to God •which can never be fully'discharged? Say, rather, that it is a' privilege. I never made a sacrifice." Montrea] Star: Whatever may be said of the rights and wrongs of the Commer- cial Union question,there can be no doubt that its advocates aro fearless and perse- vering in their.prorootion of the scheme. The agitation has assumed such propor- tions that it requirea even now something more than the ipse dix't of a' perry leader or the subsidized sneers ofa journ- al to dragon. the thinking and intelligent people of the country into a blind oppoei- tion to the proposal. It is time that its opponents spoke officially. Now that the Ministers are returniug to the Capital from the four corners of the earth, let as hear what they have to say ou the subject. Tho best means of preventing accidents through the burning down of wooden bridges next to repl Icing them -with stone and• iron eta uc'ures,appears to be to cover them with fire -proof paint. That is the deduction taken from tho test made at Rockaway. Beach the other day. On the line of the New York & Rockaway Beach Railroad is atrestle four and three quart- ers miles in length. At the Hammel's station end -some 200 feet had been painted with the fire•proot paint,and to thorough- ly test:the efficiency of the mixture J. E. Winelow,Snperintendent of Construction caused the fire -box of an engine to be dumped on the. trestle. Live coals cover ed the ties and lodged on the chords of the bridge and settled in between the limbers. The burning coalsgrew dull and finally cooled without burning the wood -work. • A terrible accident is reported from Neeemore, a small inland village three miles. north . of Manchester, Tennessee. The Rev.J. M: Carter and Dr Logan were to speak there in favor of prohibitipn. When they arrived they fouod a big revi- val in progress and did not speak. The revival was conducted in a two story church building,the upper floor b-ing us- ed for church purposes, and the lower be. ing given up exclusively to school pure poses. There was an immense audience in the upper -story, listening attentively to the exhortations, when suddenly and without warning the rear end of the floor gave way with a crash; carrying 60 or 70 people with it, 'The fall was thirteen feet and hardly one of them escaped in- jury,. The injured were quickly rescued frornhe wreck and three of them found to seriously hurt. One man is fatally injured. Every physician in the county was immediately sent for and the work of relieving theinjured promptly begun. No further particulars have been received of the disaster Prof. Goldwin Smith, who recently visited the Northwest Territories, says: "•3 brought away -a decided opinion that the blame of the half-breed rebellina rests mainly on the Ottawa Government Had they been properly informed and served by good agents, it mi hthave easily .satisfied the claims and ai11yed the fears of these poor people, who were naturally disquieted by the advances of a strange civilization which narrowed their hunting grounds, ouperceded their petty carrying trade with its renewer, broke up their .mode of life, end seemed to tbreateo their subsistence. The Government was sheltered at first by military excitement, acid afterwards, censure upon it assume irig a party form, by party. For ware, of a little timely attention eight millions had to be spent ia!snppressing a 'rebellion" whieb put four hundred ill armed men between the ages of 16 and90 in the field, The distant and party Government of Ottawa bes been the bane of the North- weat." Sit should be remembered that Mr Smith was one of 'the most ardent supporters of the government, being a personal friend of the Premier,] John Voegette, a Linwood, Water- loo county, weaver,committed suicide by hanging himself to the corner post of his loom, on which he had been working through the day. His wife to whom he had been married less than a year, entered th,e weaving room and found him leaning, as she aipposed, against the corner past of the loom, but as he made her no an- swer she took hold of biro, to find to her horror that he was hsnging and dead. The cord with which he had committed the fatal deed consisted of some carpet warp containing only 21 threads, and lad evidently been pre. pared beforehand, and a loop lett large enough to elip his head through, then resting his throat upon the cord he had stepped back, allowing the weight of hiq body to All upon bis throat.

He had a diploma from one of the best medical schools, printed on sheepskin, which he carried around.with him in a heavy block -tin tube. He got but little to do ; most of the practice was mono- polized by a man uamed Daggett, who had been loeated at the .place some time. Daggett did not follow any regularly reccgnized school of medi- cine, but pinned his faith to a poul- tice made on the 'hide hide side of the skin ofa black cat killed in the dark of the moon.' Mabee was at last him- self taken sick. He got quite low and finally called in Dr. Daggett. One day, after he bad recovered, he was waited on by a committee of the citizens, headed by the Mayor, who broke the ice by remarking : Doc.,, we'uns have called on a little p'int which we reckon will be mid' - lin' interestin to you.' `All right—go ahead,' replied the young physician. ' We noticed that when you got pretty sick you called in Doc. Dag- gett to fix you up. '.Why, yes, he came to see me once or twice.' ` Y -a -e -s, we -seen he did ! Little bit skeered of your own med'cines, we 'low ?' ' No sir, but I was too sick to do anything for myself. That's all pro- fessional.' ' It -maybe perfess°nal, but it won't wash in these dig gin's, young man ! Here you been tellin' all the time that old Doc. Daggett wan't no good, an' pokin' fun at bis black catskiu po'ltices, an' sayin' that webby he would do fer cows an' mules, but that he wa'n't quite up to bosses an' per- sons yet, an' now, when yer sick yer- self,._the first thing yerido-•is:.to send for him ! Here you been pourin' yer lia'ment an' condition powders an' one truck an' another down us fer six months, but when yer sick yerself yer mighty glad to go back to the good old 'riginal catakin: Millions of bottles of yer stuff for the refit of us, but not a drop fer yerself 1 That's the kind of a doc. you be? We''re ontoyour plan, and as cheer - man of a committee of our leadin' cit'zens I want to warn you to move on ! Git right out o' town—a man what dasn't take his own med'cines can't dose the rest of us, not in this place !'—Dakota Bell. A FIST LIKE A SLEDGE ' y HAMMER. Sebratian Mueller is the name of a man who has just arrived at New Haven; coming from his home in Switzerland. He and his performance are thus 'described by the Register : `Mueller is 25 years old, stands 5 feet 8 inches in height, and tips the beam at ]98e pounds, He is well built, with large and massive shoulders, and egdendidly developed niusclas on arms and chest. Taking a stone about six inches long, and of the usual cob- blestone shape, he held it firmly with bis left hand against an iron ball fas- tened to the top of a barrel. Then, swinging his right arm around his his head, be brought the hand down sideway with fearful force upon the stone, about two inches from -,the end - With a crack the stone broke into several pieces, which flew off in dif- ferent directions. The operation was exactly similar to that of a blacksmith wielding a sledge hammer. The last stone broken was a nearly 'round, tough -textured piece of white quartz, such as is found along country roads. This was also shivered into pieces. After the performance Meuller's hand showed no signs of the fearful blows except a slight redness. • THETRA\IP'AND THE WOMAN 'Madam,' said a tramp as he called at the back door of a Sioux Falls residence, 'gimme a bite !' ' No, sir ; can't do it.' Why,not, madam?' ' You,'re able to work, sir—I don't believe in encouraging vagrancy. Go on away now, or I shall scream for help.' ' All right, madam—don't holler. But I called on the woman next door last evening, and she gave me a very different answer, madam' 'She was just fool enough to go and give you srimething, I suppose ?' ' Oh, no, madam. she didn't give me nothin' neither, but she gave me a much diffe ent reason. Good-bye, madam I' ' Hold yin just a minute! What did she say?' `She come to the door all dressed up in a new yeller dress, an' seemed very much excited, madam, and when she opens the door I look in an' sees a, man in there sittin' in a cheer, madam ' !Mercy, has it corne to this with her! T wouldn't hardly believe it. Here, don't go away ; take this my good man.'' ' Thankee, madam. Baker's bread?

' But what was it that woman said to you ?' ' ' Why, she seemed excited like, 'isf she was goin' some place, 'an says :— " Please go 'way, sir, we ain't got nothing in the house to eat 1"' ' A pretty excuse to get you away ! -But that strange man--' 'He proved to be here husband, madam.

()AN A, DIAN 1 BREA:EHE? The repent attempt made 'b;. tpome Fr Itch aeronauts to reach` algreat height above the cath has pot been productive of any particular scientific results, The baloon in which the ascent was made reached an attitude of over 20,000 feet without the occu- pants of the car experiencing any ill effects,, except a tendency to faintness on the part of one of them. When about twelve years ago a similar at- tempt was made and the height of 25,000 feet was reached, it was with fatal results to three out of the four aeronauts. The success of the present experiment is explained by the alle- gation that the difficulties due to the rarefaction of the atmosphere only begin at an altitude of 23,000 or 24,- 000 feet. This view eeecas supported by the fact that in the Himalayas and the Andes, heights about 20,000 feet have been on several occasions reached without any inconvenience. In such cases, however, the ascent bas always beeu gradual. -The ill effects experienced in balloons are possibly due to the suddenness of the change. HUMOR. It is a little singular, to say the least, that after a man has been paint- ing the town red be always looks blue. Brown,. ' Hello, Jones 1 How's your wife?'

Little Nephew—Uncle, you must be a sort o' cannibal, I --Uncle (on a visit)—A what, sir ? Wha'yer mean sir? Nephew—'Cause ma said you were always livin' on somebody. Compassionate Clara—Isn't it sad?

' Because he curries favor with his mother-in-law,' was the re- ply, and tries to saddle his debts on his wife's father.' Did you ever,' said one preacher to another,,' stand at the doer after your aermon, and listen to what peo- ple said about it as they passed out i' rhe other replied, ' I did once,'—a pause and a sigh—' but I'll never do it again.'

The Industrial Exhibition at To ronto closed ,Friday. As compared with last year, the receipts show an increase.of $11,000. A dreadful collision occured on Fiiday, on the Midland Railway, England. A train filled with ex- cursienista, who were going to Dor- cestee• to witness the races, collided with another train and was wrecked. The accounts of the disaster thus far received are that 20 are killed and sevent7t irrjt.red. The extensive candy manufactor- ies of Milton E.
