The crown princeand Prince Auersperg were in hot pursuit of game when ashot rang through the air and the crown prince fell to the ground. When the courtiers appeared on the scene he was beyond help. He was carried to Meye: ling. A mutual friend of the crown prince and Marie Vetsera dispatched a messenger to the latter. Marie, upon hearing the news, drove forthwith to Meyerling. There at Kudoiph’s bedside she either shot or poisoned herself. Prince Auersperg had embraced the golden opportunity to avenge hissister’s dishonor. =e THE SEDAN ANNIVERSARY.

By the death last week of the clerk of Clark county, Ind., saysa Louisville, Ky., special to the New York Times, one of the most peculiar, yet most thriving, industries of Jeffersonville, the county seat, just across the river from this city, wastemporarily paralyzed. This industry is nothing more nor loss than the tying of nuptial knots for eloping couples from Kentucky and elsewhere. That it is an im- portant business may be inferred from the fact that in oneday, while the county clerk's oftice ‘was closed out of respect for the dead officer, seventeen runaway couples went to New Al- Dany to be united in matrimony. A new clerk had been appointed, however, and the license business had been resumed at the old stand. ‘This businees of matrimony in Jeffersonville is carried on on strictly business principles. From 1,500 to 2,000eloping couples go there to be made oneevery year, and very few of them ppointed. ‘ihe Indiana law is elastic. It requires that the girl must be eighteen years of age before the license can be granted, but this oes not prevent many mere children from get- ting the desired document. Few questions are asked, and it is exsy enough to pick up a friend with an elastic conscience, who will swear that the maiden is of age. In’ fact, more than one inhabitant of this Gretna Green makes a living by swearing (for a consideration) to the age of wonid-be brides. Four magistrates and asmany ministers make comfortable livings out of this matrimonial business. All of these professional murric have agents or runners, who inake their head- quarters in the neighborhood of the ferry dock. They can tell an eloping couple ata glance, and they are not backward about offering their as- sistance. Asa general thing the swain grate- fully accepts. ‘The successful runner firet pilots his “catch” to the county clerk's office, where 8 license is obtained, the standard price being $1. ‘Chen the magistrate or minister is visited and he ties the knot, receiving from §2tp to 10, whatever the new husband is willing to give. Of this fee the runner usually gets one- third. A bitter rivalry exists between the knot tyers, and many ludicrous incidents grow out of the zeal of the runners to secure jobs for the mag- istrates they represent. Esquire Keigwin re- cently fitted up a handsome suite of offices in Spring street, half a block from the ferry dock, and hung out asign “Siatrimonial Parlors.” His runners represented that his was the only genuine first-class wedding factory in the city. Esquire Hall opened az oftice just at the top of the wherf, where he could stand in the door and ‘gee the couples as they left the boat. His run- ners wore supplied with neatly printed cards on which was the cheering annotucement: “Spe cial attontion guaranteed to wedding parties.” Esquire Ware fitted upan office two blocks from the river, while Esquire Lee is still turther awa! ‘There had been a lull in the business for gev- eral days recently,and the runners were getting weary of doing nothing. Finally alone couple was spied on the enbin deck of ‘the ferry boat runners made a rush for the dock when the boat landed. Each eloquently presented the advan- tages of a knot ticd by his “squire. Keigwin’s man was ubout to win, when ‘Squire Hall's agent, John House, called the groom to one side end confidentially’ whispered: “Keigwin will charge you $6 for the job; ‘Squire Hail will do it for €2.50." Keigwin’s man heard House and ents. Then Keigwin'’s man dropped toa dol- lar. ‘The prospective groom smiled and with nisprospective bride started up the ill with the dollar man. ‘Then House, his pride aroused, called out that ‘Squire Hull would do the job for nothing 2nd would throw in gratis his blessing and « photograph of himself to be hung in the wedded couple's parlor. This liberal propo- sition floored Keigwin’s man and before he could recover breath or think up something more generous House was marching tri- umphantly up the hill with the elopers in tow. ‘Avarule, the runners stick closely to busi. ness and seldom cut rates. ‘The industry is a flourishing one and it has taken many a dollar into Jeffereonville. aed See Reading at Public Libraries, From the St. James Gazette. In Paris, as well as with us, it is found that the value of public freo libraries as a means of educating the masses is small. An attempt was made to induce people who frequent the sixty- four free libraries in Paris to prefer instructive books to works of fiction, but the only result of this was a decroaso in the number of readers. So the endeavor was abandoned, the authorities coming to the conclusion that’ it is botter the public should read novels than not read at all. At present nearly 50 per cent of the books taken out are novels. Both in London and free library is not a place where the ardent student learns the latest lessons of science or studies the masterpieces of literature past and present. The reuder, if of the male sex, goes to search the scriptures of the sporting prophets: if» woman, to rend the fashion pers and the fiction of the day.

The “hired man” on a New England farm o0- cupies a unique position and in many ways is a privileged character. As s usual thing he is regarded, not as 9 servant, but almost asa momber of the household. There are New England farmers worth their hundreds of thon- sands of dollars who never sit down toa meal that they do not have their field bands at their elbow. “Iu the ordinary household intercourse the workmen of the farm are trented not as monials, not as inforiors, but almost, if not quite, as equals. ‘They are on terms of com- radeship with the other members of the house- hoid, young and old, and they have their recog- where there is a high embankment. ‘rhe ob- struction was discovered in time to at a serious accident.

Secretary Foster has issued an order extend-— ing the time indefinitely when the 4s not re- | deemed may be extended at 2 per cent interests There is not as yet any indication that those bonds not extended are going to be dumped into the treasury allat once. it is believed at the department that it will not be necessary to withdraw more than possibly two, three or four millions from the gov- ernment depositories, © Three millions may be withdrawn, but it is necessary in carrying on the current business that a considerable amount should be kept as a current account in those banks which are desig- nated as government depositories. It is not thought thgt any serious incon- venience to the banks can arise from the with- drawais that will be made. In most instances it will be nothing more than oe matter ot, bookkeeping. The denks ave the bonds on deposit in an hold the government money ae depositories The government will merely cancel the bonds and the banks will keep the movey. being pad the difference between the amount they and the value of the bonds taken by the gov- ernment.

The Queer Pranks Which the Fluid Plays in Its Dendly Flash. From the London Graphic. Physicists—that is to say the physicists who are not idling—are now busy reaping the after- imath of the thunder storms which for a week or more have been the chief meteorological feature of our climate. Lightning of every type—zigzag, with sharply defined borders, without any apparent width, in sheets or in the shape of fireballs—bas been seen, and coveral lives have been lost by these Olympian thun- derbolts, But what is most curious is that cattle have been more frequently struck then baman beings, even when the chances of both wore equal. This has been noticed more than once by students of electricity. ‘Thus, a miller standing between a horse and a mule was only shaken a littie, while the ani- mals were killed. There is also the well-known | instance of the Abbey of Noirmontiors near Tours, where a flash of lightning killed twenty- two horses without doing any other harm to the one hundred snd_ fifty monks whom it vis- ited in the refectory than overturning the one hundred and fifty Potties which contained their rations of wine." Again, a case ix on record in which seventy. killed, while the woman who guarded them was untouched. It has also been fre served that the outer members of a party are struck while the middle ones escape. Thirty- eight horses ranged ina ‘only shaken by a stroke, except the tw bend, which wore killed, and of five children sitting on a bench only the first and last were fatally affected. This peculiarity may be due, as Arago eug- geated Jong ago, to the circumstance that tho intermediate bodies simply transmit the charge and ate, therefore, least injured, just ov the pertsof a bar of iron struck ‘by ligl which are most damaged are the pointe which the current makes its entrance and exit. +00 THE TWO COMETS, One to Occult Some Small Stars Early in Sep- tember. From the Provigence Journal. A very beautiful astronomical phenomenon will occur on the evenings of September 4 and 5. Wolff's comet, which is now faintly visible in the constellation Aries, will pass over or occult someof the smaller starsof the Pleiades. Atits nearest the comet will only be a few min- utes north of Aicyone, the brightest star of the group. Wolff's comet is one of the list of comets of very short period, its period being somewhat less than seven years, the time of last | perihelion passage being about the Ist of Octo- ber, 1834. ‘The time of the present periheli passage will be on thedthof September. Wolff's comet is one of those comets which never ap- proaches very near to the sun, and is always outside of the orbit of Mars, even when neare Its present distance from the stn is in round numbers about one hundred and forty-reven millions of miles and from the earth about one hundred and four millions of miles. Any one having access to telescopes will have no trouble whatever in identifsing the comet on_ the two nights of its near approach to the Pleiades. The Pleiades now cross the meridian between 5:30 und 6 in the morning, so that by midnight they are well situated for observation. There is another comet which is now well situated for observations. It is Encke’s famous short-period comet, with a period of only three and one-third years—the shortest period of any known comet of the present day. Encke's comet is now visible in the northeast, and is situated about ten degrees south of the bright star Capella, the leading brilliant in the con- stellation Auriga. Encke’s comet is one of those comets rarely visible to the naked eye, although on some occasions it has just becn detected (as iu October and November, 1981) as a faint brush of light shining as a star of the fifth magnitude. In the telescope the comet presents a fairly well-defined nucleus with a azy envelope, often so thin that the faintest star can easily be seen through it. ‘One of the most singular facts connected with it is that itsper 1797 to the year 1875 the nearly four days. ‘The only explanation of this shortening of period is that there exists in space a thin medium capable of aifurding a re- sistance to bodies of so little density as the small comets and yet not dense enough to ap- parently offset the motions of the planets. riod has shortencd ncke’s comet at perilelion passes just within the orbit of Mereury and at aphelion passes be- | tween Jupiter and the asteroids. The distances of the comet now from the earth and sun is about 114,000,000 miles, ond at tho time of peri- helion, about the riddle of Gctober, will be about 37,000,000 miles. oo ‘What Drowns Good Swimmers, From the New York Telecram, There is a conclusion of practical wisdom presented by a circumstance common to nearly all the drownings of strong swimmers that bave occurred in the surf this year. ‘Their bodies have been recovered, if at all, only after long intervals and with the greatest dificulty. ‘This shows that they have been carried out to sea. That fact means that the tide was then running out. Else their bodies had been rolled ashore almost while they were warm. ‘This iv proo: conclusive that these drown- ings were not due to the cause that has been almost invariably assicned—iho undertow. That conclusion is an ctuinently reasonable one. A swimmer has nothing to do with what is called the underiow--hurdly more than a cork or a life boat. ‘ihe undertow is the bugbear only of the non-swimmer, who is liable, if not supported, to be swept off the feet with every wave that perhaps temporarily overtops the Tend and celssce at once foes of Wnlance, Lees of breath and loss of presence of mind.
