Her cousin came from there, brought the money, and as ho could not wait for her to settlo up the business and got roady to start, he went , taking the elder child with him and leaving her to follow with the other. She had £70 in billsin her pocket when shestarted from Atlantic, but when she had reached here and was about to start up town, she missed her roll and found that the pocket, which she had carefully pinned together, was opened. She ingists that two young men on the train must have been the ones that took it, for thoy sat vight behind her in_the car and she moved once to get away from them, and they moved too, and took a seat behind her. As she got off the train they were close behind her, and disappeared after she missed the money, and there are other circumstances which led her to believe they picked her pocket or robbed hsr of her money. Be- ing in a strange city, and penniless, she reported to Chief Field, and he *provided her a place at the Ohio house, where she could stay over Sunday with ler child. Arrangements were made to send her on as far as Fremont, and there let the authorities lelp her further on her way. One of the further misfortunes, which renders the woman more helpless, is that one arm is pnrnli'r(-d 80 that she can use it but little; so that all in all she is ina pitiful cm..m on. ——— A BBISK BLAZE.

Philadelphia R¥cord, Oct. 1 Dr. Rachel Bradley, Dean of the Woman's Medical Colloge of Pennsylvania, gave a reception on Saturday evening, at No. 1400 \u|l|| Twenty first strect, to Murs. Anandibal Joshee, of Serampore, Hindostan. Mrs. Joshee is the first un christiani crossed the ocean, adelphia for the and she comes to Phil purposo of wedicine, and will romain in this city four years, No malo physician | is allowed " to attond & woman in the India, even though she be dangerously [, Mrs. Joshee, who is the wife of a high caste Brahmin in the the employ at Seramport, has nover lost hor | caste, although she does not worship idols, | The want of proper medical advico and | attention among the women of her caste has impelled Mrs, Joshee te leave her country for a time in order to opon the | door for the introduction of educated fomale physicians of high casto among her people. She arrived in this city on Friday, and will at once begin her studies in this Woman’s Medicai Col- Governme ly all of the fomale physicians in this city, and many of their friends, wero present at the recoption, which was a very pleasant affair. Mrs, Josheo was dressed in full Hindoo vostume, with numerous rich pearl and gold ornaments. Her dross was trimmed in gold lace, and cut after the Oriental fashion, o is rather short and stout, but has a very pleasing and attractive face. Her manner is agrecablo and self-possessed. Although but 18 years of age she has been married nino | years. Hor coming to this country was | at first violently opposed by the Brahmin priests and her friends, but at last con- sidering the philanthropie nature of her intentions, they all yielded, and as she intends to strictly observe the rules of her religion while here an absolution, so to speak, will bo granted her when she returns for her offense in crossing the ocean. Sho says that thero will prob- ably be some other high-caste Brahmin women who will come to this country to study in a short time. The only educated physicians now allowed to visit the Brahmin women in their illness are a fow European and American femalophysicians, whose labors have been so valuable that the idea of having native women educated for the profession was forced upon the attention of the peoplo re- sulting in the special privileges grant- ed to Mrs. Joshee, and to be granted to others. C — The Benton Hair The rather startling advertisement of the hair which appears in this_issue, hat 80 evidently facts as a basis that it muss be read by all with great interest. That the bald sealp has still live and healthy hair lbeneath its surface is new, and to many will be most agreoable information. Bald heads are a most disagrecable fact of present ation, and any method that will ntee a growth of hair must meet with a large and inereasing demand, | That the Benton Hair Grower will do this | is an established fact. Many well-known prominent citizens of Cleveland and other places are apparently only too glad to announce through our columns that they have a new hirsute covering. We under- stand that many ladies as well, did| they not fear the publicity, would also state what the Hair Grower has done for them. The portraits are made fi rOW:! rom photo- graphs taken before and after using, and are of well-known men in thei weetive | communit Our subscribers should read over carefully the article showing how the hair falls out, why it is not ¢ and how it grows aftorwards, They will then be convinced of the practical value of the Hair Grower, and why it can and does grow hair. The company are quite willing to contract with any to grow hair | fifty or one hundred dollars to be paid when the hair is of a cortain length, The evidence that it will do this is so strong that nearly all prefer to inyest only ong o | dollar and apply it themselves, with an equal certainty as to results. Our ont-of- town readers can have the Grower sent freo by inclosing one dollar to the com- pany. oo Let Him Be Ahead, will have witness b lead off with *‘Let's sco—ah —Mr. Sage, you wero | the poor son of a poor” farmer up in New u.....]mlm- T was, “Had to study your books by the light of a corn-zob fire?” “1 did,” “Went barefoot in winter and ragged in summer, and up to your eighteenth year you nover lad 50 cents to your name!"” “Correct, sir.” “At the ago of nineteen you began to speculate!

The grave is marked a marble slab, bearing the name of great Seminole chief, and is surround- ed by an iron railing, The remains nover were temoved so far as we can learn, and no monument rises to mark his resting place in any Charleston ceme- try, as is st by The ] ingtield Re publican. There s a tradition, which, lowever, lacks confirmation, that the body of Osceola was removed secretly by medical students, and that his skull was at one time among the curiosi ties in the medical museum.

HENRY LEHMANN JOBBER OF Wall Pager an Window Sha EASTERN PRICES DUPLICATED - OMAHA NEB, AR-OLD SNAKE, A 600 Remarkable Specimen of retrifac- tion, Philadelphin Record, “‘We want to see the big snake.” Such was the request made of Mr. D, M. Lienhardt in eaplanation of a ring at the doag-bell of his residence, No. 10256 Poplar street, yesterday morning. On the steps woro gathered a half-dozen chi.dren lmlnuuin;v in that neighborhood, ranging in age from to 12 years, who cautiously inquired if the serpent were oly to harm them. They. were told that no harm would befali them, and so the little ones entered. No sooner had the door closed when another tug at the bell informed Mr. Lienhardt that more callers were awaiting to be admitted to satisfy their curiousity. This time the visitors proved to bo adults, and so a steady streams of men, women and chil- dren kept up all day, much to the dis- comfort of the obliging owner of the thing which many lmfi come for squares around to see. Entering the hall the spectators beheld a puhlllml snake 12 foet long and 20 inches in circumference, weighing over 876 pounds. It was found a month ago imbedded in a coal vein in one of the mines of the Leonard coal company, in Centre county, Pensylvania. The miner who run across the remarkable speciman of petrifaction many hundred feet beneath the earth’s surface was thunderstruck at tho dis- covery, and experienced something like a cold chill down his back for the first fow moments after the pick had brought to light the serpent’s head. He called his comrades, and they aided him in digging it out. It had to be cut into sixteen sec- tions before it was gotten out of the vein. The snake was exnibited for several days in o hut near the mine, and peeple for miles around flocked to the place to see the strango thing, the likeof which, it was said, had neser before been seen in thoso parts. Au officor of the Leonard company obtainad possession of it, and had it on private exhibition for sev- eral days at his_office, No. 207 Walnut slace. He soon became tire of the rush, which included brokers and business men, to his sflico to get a glimpse of the snake, 50 ho presented it to his present owner Tho latter has also been run down by vigitors, but his love for curiosities is so great that he would sooner put up with such annoyance than part with his pres- ent. The snake is of a dark lead color, Its head, body and tail are wonderfully well preserved,the outlines being quite distinct. Itissomewhat flattened on top,and through the centre of the body is a ridge an inch in dopth, A well-informed naturalist, connected with the Academy of Natural Sciences, | examined the thing for two hours on aturday last. He said it was the best petrified specimen he over saw, ana he claims to be well up in that line, The ridge he explained as being due to the wasting away offa portion of the entrails and undigested food previous to the time when petrifaction set in, He declared that the snake was fully six thousand years old and belonged to a species how only found in certain poriions of Africa A WOMAN'S AFFAIR.
