All this, however, is necessarily involved im much uncertainty, and in the mean time what should be done to meet the coming necessities of the poor? If we cinnot do everything to amelioate their condition, we can at least do something, and let us begin t> do that something at once. Every one knows that daring the winter the atest sufierings of the poor are from cold; ood they can rally get sufficient of to keep body an soul togethers but the unrelenting, pinching cold brings to them a keen torture unknown to these who are se»-ovably clad and who set before comtorting fires.

Mention was made a few days ago of the death of Miss Emma McLean, daughter of Captain George McLean, of Rochester, who has rela- lives and many acquaintances residing in oar community. The Beaver Argus and Ra‘ical, im an obituary noticc of the lady, notes the ful- lowing singular incident in connection with her last ilimess:—Mise McLean had been suffering with the typhoid fever for about five weeks pre- vious to her death, but had commenced to re- cover slowly a day or two before her fina! i!!- ness. So much better bad she become that she Was left aione in her room @ short time on last Wednesday evening, as she had fallen into a peaceful slumber. The sun was just set- ting at the time, ard @ bright streak of sunlight was thrown across the sleeper’s bed - chamber. Miss McLean happening to awaken euddenty, saw the room flooded with the sun's rays, and supporing that the house was on fire, suddenly sprang ont of bed and called at the top of her voice that the house was on fire. Her tears were soon allayed, however, when the tamily appeared, and she was placed in her bed again. But thi idden Co ad had proven too muck for her weakened body t> bear, and she commenced to sink 20 rapidly that death claimed her as a victim on the following after- noon, Mirs McLean was a most estimable young lady. beloved by all who knew her, and the family have the deepest sympathy of a larga circle of friends and acquainte nces in their sad ittsburg Commerciol. AncasBisHor oy CanTarevy.y.—The church journals of England are engayed in a contro. versy about the Laptism and co wirmationot Dr. ‘Tait, Archbishop of Canterbury. It is stat that’ he was never properly baptized. His p rents were Presbyterians, who cared little about that ordinance; that when an infant he was very ull, and was baptized by bis nurse, an old Seotch woman. He was confirmed by Bishop Bagot. of the Episcopal church, without bap- tism, the bishop thinking that had been attenu- ed tw. When the o mwas discovered the bishop :nformed Ms. Tait that “confrmation capuot be duly given to one who has not been validly christened. Ihavecontirmed you in ig- Porance; go and be baptized for security’s sake, and then come to me again for contirmation.” This Mr. Tait declined to do, aud so the matter Stands, All bis official acts are considered » ud as he has confirmed about three bundred clergymen, the confusion a by this controversy may be imagined. ——<———— eee Tue Goveareent oF Cirtes.—The London Times says that the $s geveral city, and in explanation of this the ‘Times says: “Lonéon bas been, in a large degree, saved from the degradation which hrs beiallen other cles, ure Cracurr Court—Judge To-day th: in case against the ‘Wasbington “G of. ‘RT. of ton Gas-light Company, failing to agree, were “Giechor ge A number 2 f£ motions were disposed Poricg Count—Judge Snell.

A REMARKABLE STory.—Another very re- mathable incident isadded w the many aisr ling things which have occurrcd in these “la’ ter days.” Our readers will remember that we gave an account of the sad death of our venera- ble feliow-citizen, Roy. Henry Asbury, which occurred on October 1, 1574. Mr. Asbury had retired to bis room and bathed b's chest with kerosene oil to relieve a pain with which he was aillicted, and which hat been relieved by the fame application previovaly. Atter bathing wita the oil (b ideut of which hecoaid ss no account) he came in contact with the laze of fre, and the oi! ij. niting, he was soon enveloped in es. Hie ran into the yard, but before assiatarce could be rendered his clothes were burned to pshes and his body almost to a crisp. From this painiul and distressing acci- dent he died the same evening at 6:20 o'clock. When bis wife came t9 bis relief im the yard he remarked: “I am goue; I have todie.” He then waiked into the house, and when he laid down he related the following wonderful inci- dent of his lite. He said that “about fourteen eare Ago an angel appeared to him; he felt the broese ot its wings, and the ange! told him that his end would be a terrible one.” He contin- ued: ‘I see it all plainly, just 9s the angel fold me; this is no fletion; you will find it written Wuina& memorandum among my papers. [ Kept my mouth closed to exclude the dames r3 I could be able to tell you all about it.” After his death, the following written memorandum was found careinily preserved among bis papers: “aN EXTRAORDINARY EVENT OF MY LIFE. “SerTemBge 10, 1859. “As I was coming from Tate's factory, up the river, at night, to where my son Jobn and my wagons were camped, on the old plank road, angel passed by me.

Richmond, and probably most. o! ir neigh- bors never dreamed that their establizhment wes nota legitimate onc. Everything had gone on swimmingly with them for several years, when suddenly, about three months ago, among the deaths in the Times, repeated three days, was seen thatof the wife of Marshall, who, it appears, died in Dublin. That there might bo no doubt of his wentity, the place of his resi- dence and the particular name of his houss were inserted in the notice. Of conrse the good people of Hichmond were terribly shocked by this exposure, and the popular authoress was given the cold showider atonce. To make the matter worse, Miss Braddon had a circular printed end sent to her acquaintances, deciar- ing ber innocence and affirming that she really believed herseif Marshall's wite, thus intimating that the marriage ceremony had been pei- formed, axd virtually accusing Marshall of bigsmy. But, of covtse, everybody knows the real facts.—London Cor. Chicago Journal.

A MAN MILLiner Missin Jadies are incre disire. seust in a man milline thy. Thus rurs the story: Sometime ago Frank Diehl established Limseit at No. 185 North Clark sireet, inthe dressmaking busine’s. He received the patronage of the elite of the noi side, and to torn out the orders that poured in upon him be employed four seamstreases in the building and gave out work to several others. On Tuesdays he was accustomed to liqnidata the claims of there on for labor pore formed, but on last Tuesday he failed to appear with the expected wages. In fact, he failed to appear at all. Thinking that he had simply fallen a prey to north side lager, the operatives were not greatly disturbed in mind, and at 6 o’clock went to their respective homes. On the following morning, however, on entering tha store, they were horrified to find it deserted. Only an antiquated stove, and afew other heavy articles of furniture, remained to mark the @ which the day before had borne every evidence of prosperity. Diehl had fled, and with Lim the wages of the seametreses. Batthis wes notall. Some fifty ladies had confided to Lim valuable dresses to be made up without ce- lay. There, too, had accompanied Diehl. An investigation by ‘the police developed the fact that the absconder had left two heavy tranks witb a rag dealer at the corner of Ohio and La- Salle streets, who, having a judgment against Dieh), reivesd to surrenderthem. Thus stands the case: Diehl has tled, noone knows where; fifty ladies have been robbed of yalnable Cresses; these dresses were intended, most of them, to be worn st an approaching German fair. "Now, queries a German newspaper, can this fair take place? 0 Inter-Ocean.

The next morning, however, their sufierings for wartof fcodand water became rather serious, and something had tobe done. Corporal Smith was equal to the occasion; taking a piece of his own white shirt, the only substilate for papar he had, he wrotea note describing their si.uation, fecured it with cere to the neck of a small, shaggy, mongrel dog which had followed them hen, battering up a canteen, he ue animal's tailand let bim go. te the Corporal’s ewn expression, ‘just humped bimsel’.” The Indians, takng ic to be a mereact of bravado, I presume, mids no aitempt to stop bim, and wathin two hours asom the iime he started the doz reached the post.

Sharon, daughter of Wm. A. Sharon, the mining millionaire of the Golden city, says it was one of the mos: macuificent weddiag? of modern times. Bir. Shatonhas just completed the mot superb residence on thd Pacific coast. it covers nearly an acta of grovad, and is a buge pile of marble, carved wood aud plate glass. “he interior is said to ba of Oriental splendor in all itsappointments. One drawing- rcom alone, with dome-like ceiling, will accom- modate more than 1,60) guests. The finish of this elegant apartment is in satin wood and fresco, the latter of a beauty that would make the angels in heaven turn green with envy. The marriage ceremony took place in this room, under the blaze ofa 5,000 chande'ier, and be- neath the shadow of a floral temple built of exotics from every clime. Miss Sharon is not regarded as abeauty, though she is quite pleas- ing and said to be very intelligent. She is of mecium size, a demi-blonde in style, and dresses with exquisite tuste and elegance. She is a member of the Roman Catholic faith, and the ceremony was pertormed by Archbishop Alemany, assisted by one or two clergymen of ‘St. Mery’s parish. ‘Ise bride's troussean is said to be the most sunerb that ever came to San Francisco. Most of st is of direct importation, through one of the first novees in thatcity, and its whole cosi has exceeded $10,060. A Civup Pow Lavigs anp Genttewen.—Tho Pall Mall Gazette of November 12 has the fol- lowing: ‘The idea of opening a club for both ladies and gentlemen begins to assume a very practical shape. It is rumored that the com. mittee proj to take ® house in one of ths streets off Grosvenor square, and that the ctub will be actually in existence with the new year. Some people go s0 far aa to say it is tobe called the Grosvenor Club, and casuists are busy with the questions which will have to be settled. Examples are drawn from the sad experiences of arcbery and croquet clubs, and stories such as this aré afloat: A gentleman wao is very pop- ular in society was lately black-balled at askat- ing ground, and after gome time it turned out that bis wife, who was already a member, had persuaded a friend upon the committe to com. pase bisexciusion. Itis further stated that a simple-minded young lady who had been askeit to join the new club inquired in modern Eng- lish: ‘Is it a place where one can take their mother.” The question unfortunately remains unanswered, but we suspect a Geal of the success of the scheme will turn on whether the poh § place where a member ‘can take their mother.’ *” ILLITERATE Vorges in Lovisiana.—Thae late election in Louisiana revealed the fact that more than three-fourths of the voters in that state cannot write their names.

ONE OF TEE WORST MATRIMONIAL TANGLES on record bes been brongbt to light in a suit new before the Brooklyn courts, in whien rhe mo*t prominent tigure is Walter W. Price, an English millionaire, who owns a splendid resi- dence at Lake George, and who bas three wives living in various parisof the wor! i first spouse was Miss Susanna Bi married in Engiand at the age of 19 doned a year later, landing in America in i839 penniless. He negotiated with his wife for a separation, and in four years after bis arcival completed a contract with a Mr. Greeuin Eng- land by which Green acsumed Mrs. P.’a debts ‘The contract was dated June 31, 1°43, and Green soon afterwards matried Mrs. Price. Ootober ‘21, 1843, Price married a lady in Brooklyn, and lived with her until 1800; she bore tive children. He became a member of the prosperons brew ing firm of Beales, Price & Co., from which be retired, some years ago. [n 160 he separat- ed frow bis second wife, and in 1843 he saed to set aside bis second marriage, on the groun! that bis first wie was alive. The case was t-ie1 before Judge George Baruard, in New York, who in the following year decreed the cecond marriage voit, there being @ clause in the de- cree, which, itis alleged, was fraudulently in- rerted, allowing the litigants to marry again inaweek Price hed proposed to another wo- man, representing to her that bis first wife was dead, and that he had procured a divorce from his second wife. He married the third time ta July, 1865, and bis wife bore him thre chil- Gren, and in 1+71 he separated from her. He then enconraged b's eecond wife to sue to have Jucge Barnard’s deerce cet aside on the graund thac the fi Ife in England wasdead. Tuis would reti to bim bis second wife, who was divorced on the ground that his first wife wes alive, and render the third murrage void because of the yalidity of the second. He was successful in th at in the mean- time he asc. rtained to a certainty that bis first wale wes not dead. aud needing to have the eecond marriage made valid to divorce himself from the third wife, be ottuined an order of the court reaffirming Judge Barnsrd’s dec*sion, his hird wife testifying that she had visited Eng- land and found the first wife living. Tre cave then stood between Price and the rd wife, with the first wife re-married and the secoud wife divorced. In April, 1513, Price sued for Givorce from his third wite before Jndge Leo- pard at Lake George, on the ground that his first wite was living. The third wife contested the suit with all her powcr. She was conceracd lest @ divorce should pronounce her children Mlegitimate, and che impoverished herself in opposing the proceedings. She says that her husband offered her $50,009 if she would not prees her opposition, but she refused to accept it, believing that the court would vindicate her reputation, and declare her chi!- dren legitimate. Judge Landon decreed the martiage to be void, but not from the date of ceremony, thus establishing the wife's chastity rs before the law and the legitimecy of the children. The spirited third wife then sued tor $10,(00, for deceit in the marriage contract and fraud. Ex-Judge Beach en Tuesday argued before Judge Joseph Barnard on demorrer tothe complaint, on the ground that the latter contains allegations of both contract and fraud, which he holds constitutes separate actions, and he moved to strike out all the allegations of fraud in the contract, and tolimit the plaintiff to action on the contract. The judge took the papers. Mr. Price ia rid of his second aud third wives now because his first wife is alive, and be expects to sue for @ divorce from his first wife on the ground ef adultery. He 1s 55 years old, and a bale man yet, and is wealthy enough to = three more wives, Hiseight children are ve. iX- CONFEDERATE REPUBLICANS.—Sonthern democratic journais are enumerating some of the ex-confederate soldiers and jeadsrs who are now active republicans. ‘The Memphis Appeal for example, says: “Hayes, @ republican Con- greseman, of Alabama, was aconfederats gene- ral.
