From the New York Times, An atmosphere of peace and quiet per- vaded Hitchcock's the Delmonico’s of Park-row at midnight, and various car drivers, printers, Bews venders, and night hawks were partaking of coffee and beef and beans in serenity andcon- tentment. A very tail, very heavy and very gaudy gentleman, with big plaid trousers, big diamond, silk hat, and shiny boots, entered, sat down ata table and eailed for beef and beans, coffee and two pieces ot pie. These he cun- sumed. and then he dropped Into a gentle doze over his tootlipick. A waiterobserved his slum- ber and tapped him on the shoulder. ut no bed-room,” the waiter said. The gaudy entieman wes so surprised that he tatled to find his voice for several seconds.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean. A romantic little story reached the ears of a Teporter of the Inter-Ucean yesterday. It touches on sickness, pills and love. A certain charming young lady living in one of the Southern suburbs was taken seriously ill a few weeks ago. Her parents, who are quite wealthy, employed the best medical taient obtainable but the worthy disciples of medicine who ex- amined her pronounced her ease tncurable, and said that she was beyond human aid. The rents were In despair. By some accident the ther heard of a youn: doctor who hud but re- cently located in the village, and whose list of patients was not at all large. but who had ever given satisfaction when called upon. He was asked to see the sick girl. He called, looked at the patient steadily, then turned to the anx- fous parents and said,’ firmly and decisively: “J can save your daughter!” ‘Do you th o7” was the excited query. “I know was the positive answer. “Save my daughter and name your price for your services,” exclaimed the loving father. “Then I must have entire charge of the case,” said the young doctor. As the other doctors had given no enconrage- ment whatever for her recovery the case was Yeadily placed in the young physician's hands. He went to work, patiently. earnestly; took en- tire charge of his fair patient; watched over her day and night. In a week she bean to improve; two weeks found her out of danger; in three weeks she could sit up, and at the end of four weeks sne was well and could take long drives with her devoted doctor. He had indeed re- deemed his piedge—had saved his charge. One day. after the complete recovery of the young lady was positively assured, the father ealled the young doctor into bis brary. Taking him by the hand, he said: “Young man. you have saved my Ganchter. I told you that if you did so you would be com-| pensated at whatever price you chose to fix your services. Iam now ready to carry out my part of the agreement, as you haye so nobly done your work.” ‘Tamed by aSmali| He Wins a Wealth | { i ‘ \ BIGAMOUS DR. LINN. althy Widow's Heart and Some of Her Fortune. Atelegram from Philadelphia, December 6, says:—A handsome Philadelphia widow, with a fortune of $500,000, her marriage to an adven- turer who already had one wife living, the biga- mist’s successful plot to get $10,000 from the wealthy widow, bis fight, and the annulment of the second marriage. are the elements of a Tare romance which culminated in this city yes- terday. Mrs. Harriet S. Wilkinson, whose husband, 8 very wealthy merchant of this city, died ten years ago, has been traveling in Europe for sev- ears. A large fortune, inciuding over 000 worth of real estate in Philadelphia,en- abied her to gratify a long-cherished desire to visit all the great capitaisof Europe. At Paris, in 1882, she met Dr. Hugh J. Linn, of this city, a brother ofthe secretary of the republican state central committee of Pennsylvania. He made love to the weaithy widow, won her heart and her promise to become his wife. The doctor then sailed for his Quaker City home, with a promise to get his affairs in shape.and promised to return for the wedding in the spring. In April, 1883, Mrs. Wilkinson went over to Lon- don, end a few days after her arrival Linn reached there from New York, and on May 5 they were married. Within a month after the marriage the newly- made husband, pleading urgent business, sailed for New York. He had not been fn this country long before he wrote to the wife that he was caved Ina scheme to build a new air-line rail- road from New York to Boston, and was about to be appointed treasurer of the company it he could invest $10,000 in the new enterprise, and asked that Mrs. Linn should send him over that amount at once, as his own affairs were tempo- rarily involved. The lady at once made up her mind to come over herself, and arrived in Phila- elphia in September. On October 3, after lis- tening to the eloquent story of her husband, she | Went with bim to the Philadelphia trust com- |p and borrowed upon collateral security the £10.000 which he represented it was necessary for him to put up in the new Boston air line. The trust company paid over the loan in a check drawn to Linn’s order, which the contiding wife passed over to him. 'A few days afterward he accompanied her to New York and put up at the Mefropolitan hotel, where they remained for three weeks. At the end of that time Linn told his wife that he had business in Boston, and bidding her an affectionate good-bye left h He never returned. Instead of going to Boston he came to this city,and having been Iden- tiled bythe messenger of the Philadelphia went tothe Philadelphia bank and had the ten-thousand-dollar check cashed in one-hundred-dollar bills. With this he left and his whereabouts since have been a y Mrs. Linn came to Philadelphia and consulted counsel. He discovered that Linn had lived an adventurous life, often on the con- tinent of Europe, sometimes in the far west en- gaged in mining speculations, once a New York police surgeon, and thus had knocked about the world at haphazard for years, and that he had been married foreicht years to Miss Mary Shaughny, whose father lives at No. 3722 Lo- cust street, although the fact of the marriage had not been generally known. On May 10, five days after Linv’s bigamous marriage to Mrs. Wilkinson in London, the real Mrs. Linn be- came a mother. Mrs. Wilkinson at once saw how she had been duped and wrong All efforts to find Linn were fruitiess, and the first Mrs. Livn had also disappeared. Mr. Shaughny is wealthy and weil known inthiscity. Yes- terday the court of common pleas of this city ordered a decree annuiling the London mar- Ti Chewing Gum in Patagonia. From the Gentleman's Magazine, To fit it for use the natives make it into pellets, then hold it on the point of a stick over a basin of cold water; a coal of fire is then approached to it, causing it to melt and trickle down by drops into the basin. The drops, hardened by the process, are then kneaded with the fingers, cold water being added occasionally, till the becomes t hick and opaque like putty. To chew it properly requires a great deal of prac- tice, and when this indigenous art has been sc- auired 2 small ball of maken may be kept inthe month two or three hours every day, used for a week or longer without losing its agree- able resinous flavor or diminishing in bulk, so firmly does it hoid together. The maken chewer on taking the ball or quid from his mouth washes it and puts It by for future use. Just as one does with a toothbrush. Chewing gum is not merely un idle habit. and the least that can be said in its favor is that it allays the desire for excessive smoking—no small advant: to the idle dwellers, white orred,in this desert land; it also preserves the teeth, by keeping them tree trom extraneous matter, and gives them such a pearly luster as I have never seen | outside of this region. My own attempts at chewing maken have so far, proved sig- nal failures. Somehow the gum invariably spreads itself in a thin coat over the interior of my mouth, covering the palate like a sticking plaster, and inclosing the teeth in a stubborn rubber case. Nothing will serve to re- move it when it comes to this pass but raw suet vigorously chewed for half an hour, with occa- sional sips of cold water to harden the delight- ful mixture and induce it tocomeaway. The culmination of the mess is when the gum spreads | over the lips and becomes entangled in the hairs “Do you really wish to pay me my own price?” | asked the young doctor, anxiously. “Indeed I do, sir.” “Thea I ask you to give your daughter to me in marriage,” was the unexpected request. The old gentleman was naturally a little mished at the nature of the answer. He esitated a moment, nm touched a bell, A servant answered. | Hattie to step nere,” ‘was the command. Jn a minute the daughter entered the room. ‘The father andthe young doctor stood facing ol other. ‘Hattie,” sald the old gentleman, “do you feel that you have fully recovered?” “I am as well as ever, tather.” “Do you Imagine what your doctor wishes in compensation for his services in saving your Ife?” was the sternly put question. fo,” said the girl anxiously, ‘but I am sure he deserves anything reasonable.” “But I consider his charge extortionate,” was the emphatic rejoinder. “What is It, father? I feel surethat Doctor — would not be unrrasonable. “Not unreasonable! Why, Hattie, ne asks tnat I consent to his making you his wite. What have you to say to that?” Hattie biushed violently for a minute; her Httle toot played with the rug on the floor; then Jooking up arehly, first at her father and’ next to the young doctor,who had meantime uttered no word, she said: “You say, father, when I was sick all the other doctors gave me up and assured me noth- tng but death?” “Yes, my danghter.” “and Doctor took my case under those circumstances, told you he would save —— nursed me back to bealtn and life?” ‘e3.”" “Then, father, it strikes me that if I was an auditing committee and had to pass upon this bill, 'd argue that the one who brought me back to my health from apparent death would be pretty safe tor me to be intrusted to when health was fully rezained. [ would check his bi O. K.,and say nothing about extortionate charges. The wedding will beduly celebrated in a very ehort time. ——_+e-—_______ ‘The Power of Imagination. From the Sen Francisco Call. As illustrative of what imagination will do, the ease af a woman who imagined that a frog had found lodgment In her stomach may be re- cited. The woman in question ts the wife of an industrious mechanic living out r the Pre- sidio, and in some unknown manner conceived the idea that the reptile was in her stomach. Argument by her husband and friends that it ‘was an hallucination availed not, and matters grew worse and worse until one day, when the woman was down town, her imaginary com- plaint was so bad that in desperation she entered T | a drug store and, stating her case, askedfor relief. | The apothecary happened to be a physician, and seeing at once that his customer's com- plaint was an imaginary one he resolved to humor her. Calling his clerk he dispatched him to a rotisserie near by to procure a frog, and ad- ministered an enietic to the woman. The frog ‘was slipped into the pail, and when the victim ofthe hallucination saw It she expressed her thanks, and said she felt much relieved. It was onlya few days, however, before another hallucination that there were more frogs, off- spring of the ejected reptile, in her stomach, took possession of her. She at once repaired to the apothecary and told him of her fears. The seratehed his head for a moment, and theo remembering that he had chucked the trog into a jar of alcohol took lt from the shelf, and atter king at it intently for a few moments, returned to the woman with a satisified smile on his face, and said, “Madame, you are mis- taken: this is not that kind ofa frog.” The ‘woman was cured, and since then has been ——— with no turther hallucination of this Mrs. Bridget Farley, of Stratford, Conn., who celebrated her 103 birthday last August, visited Bridgeport yesterday, with her daughter, aged 90 years, on a shopping tour. that overshadow them; and when the closed | mouth has to be carefully opened with the fin- | gers until these also become sticky and hold together firmly as if united by a membrane. All this comes about through the neglect of a alm- ple precaution, and never happens to the ac- complished masticator who is to the manner born. When the gum Is still fresh, occasionally it loses the quality of stitfness artificially im- parted to it, and suddenly, without rhyme or reason, retransforms itself Into the raw material as itcame from the tree. The pte knowing by certain indications when this is about to hap- pen, takes a mouthful of cold water at the critical moment, and so averts a result so dis- couraging to the novice. Maken-chewing is a habit common to everybody throughout the en- tire territory of Patagonia, and for this reason Ihave described the delightful practice at some length. Dickens as a Speaker. From Edmund Yates Memoirs. Dickens was by far the best after-dinner speaker I have ever heard. Mr. Sala, Lord Rosebery, Sir William Harcourt, Mr. Parkinsop, Lord Houghton and Mr. Henry irving are good, but Dickens was above them all. For years I scarcely missed an opportunity of hearing him speak in public. The first time I ever heard him was on a Shakespeare birthday at the Gar- rick club, when he was in the chair, and made an elaborate speech, naming the day as the hday of all the wondrous characters of Shakespeare's creation, specially 1 remember, mentiouing Faistaff as the “hugest, merriest, wittlest creature that never lived.” The last time I heard him was two months before bis death, at the dinner for the benefit of the News- venders’ fund. a favorite institution of his, when he again alluded to Falstaff—“‘trying,” he said, “like Falstaff, but with a modification almost as large as himselt, less to speak himself than to be the cause of speaking In others.” In connection with this subject ' am reminded of Dickens’ wonderful readiness. I was 80 mnch in the habit of going with him to public dinners, and the managers of those entertainments so frequently begged _me to propose his health as irman that it became a joke between us as to whether I could find anything new to say. On one occasion—it was at one of the New - yenders’ dinners—I said nothing at all! I duly rose, but, after a few words, my thoughts en- tirely deserted me, I entirely lost the thread of what I had intended saying; { felt as though a black veil were dropped over my head; all could do was to mutter “health, and to sit down. I was tolerably well kuown to the guests at those dinners, and they were evidently much astonished. They cheered the toast, es in duty bound, and Dickens was on his feet ina moment. ‘Often,” he said- ften as I have had the Peep of having my health proposed by my friend who has just sat down, I have never yet seen him so overcome by his | vascular nutrition. in its periodic v: affection and generous emotion as on the ent occasion.” These wordsturned what would have been a flasco Into a triumph. “I saved you that time, I think, sir!” he said to me as I walked away with him. “Serves you well right for being over-confident!” Mexican Senoritas on Horseback.

How the Parisi: Cemeteries are Utile ized by Tradesmen. From the New York Times. Two meditative beings strolled thoughttully through the avenues of Greenwood cemetery as amicably inclinedasa Frenchman and American can be,and apparently determined that differences of opinion should neveralter friendship. “You have got the reputation,” said the Gaul thoughtrully, “‘of being a people keenly alive to the value of advertisement. I think you are. But I beg to state that you do not go as far as we Parisians. You stop at the churchyards. In Paris they are our great field for advertisement.” The American begged that this condition of things might be explained, and the Frenchman benged that he might explain them at the same me. “In Pere la Chaise,” sald the Gaul, “which, as everybody knows, is the world-renowned cemetery of Paris, you may always sve a crowd of people whose presence there is at first inex- plicable. They wear no hat bands, and are con- sequently not in mourning, They are not in- tensely jolly, and cannot, therefore, be mistaken for undertakers.

From the British Medicel Journal. The relationship between sleep, “the cousin of death,” and death itself, is probably real as | well as apparent. The distance which separat them is great. but there are intermediate con- nections, grades of dissolution as of develop- | ment. Among these the similar states of trance | and hibernation are worthy of special notice. For sleep and for trance, one cause, the exhaus- tion chiefly of nervous matter, but more or less of every organ and tissue, is assiznale. The hysterical stupor is the sleep of nerve centers, worn out with the assault and conflict of stormy reflex action. Healthy sleep is the rest of phy. calelements wearied with the same strain ap- plied more gradually. Cases have been recorded in which somnolence, continuing tor days with- out Cessation, has resembled trance in its dur: tion, while preserviny all the ordinary features of natural sleep. Varioas facts support us in associating the hibernation of animals with the same train of orgzanie or functional changes as | the other unconscious states which we have been | considering. It comes like a habit; it has, oue | may say, annual return; iis apparent cause is the oppression of external cold, and the anime it aflects are mostly those which, from thei bodily structure or habits, are subject to grec periodic variations of temperature. Vital tissue | is exhausted, and function is in part suspended, | probably because the numbness of coid ha taken hold upon the radicles of the outer circt lation, and of that of the brain surface which connected with it by numerous anastomoses In such acase anwmia would seem to be the cause of tne winter sleep, as there is evidence to show that it is also the cause of that nO- rary starvation of brain which lulis without arresting its action, in the natural repose of each night. We may even regard the lethargy; death, into which man falls wh great cold, asashort and mort The same influence acts upon him as upon the bear or fish, but the power of its shock is greater on his finer and less accusto than on their comparatively cuars tion.

It is not, therefore, altogether surprising to meet with occasional instan in which death is simulated by some deep degree of stupor! The case of George Childet, a laborer, living at Bridgewater, whi lately recorded in the daily newspapers, appears te have been one of this kind. The france-like state developed quite suddenly, and was tnis- taken by the rejatives for death. Some siight degree of warmth in the apparent corpse in- duced the clergyman In attendance to refuse burial in spite of the decided wish of the rela- tives that it should take place. After eizht days the signs of animation were re-establistied, and the subject of this singular experience slowly recove! Tn all such cases, there is an element of mystery; and one cannot aly cide how much of this is due to physioloyi or pathological conditions, or to some external agency. We are not informed of the antece- dents in the present instance, and cannot say how much hard work under-feeding, anxiety, or other causes may have had to do with the re- sult. The state described, if really one of trance, affords astriking example of the diffi- culty which sometimes, though very rarely, arises in proving the final point in diagnosis, anda warning that the most trivial sign of vitality should not be overlooked in determin- ing the fact of death. ee Me and Cleveland.
