Mrs. Sinclair, the divorced, wife of
Edwin Forrest, is still living in New

The past year the Woman's Foreign
Missionary societv of America, accord
ing to reports to the annual meeting in
Jew York, received 32,136 and expen
ded, 32,124. ros8ibly the remaining
$12 might be profitably expended in

The American Bible Society received
for the year ending March 31, $606,486
and issued 1,155,017 copies of the Bible,
This society will continue to issue the
"King James" version, to which its char

do with the H ew Revision.
The entire line of the Texas and
Pacific to El Paso is now under 00'
tract, with the exception of one sectiofli
of thirtv-five miles on the plains. If
the road can be furnished iron and ties
with sufficient celerity- the line will be
completed to El Paso lonsr prior to the
day specified by the contract.
The Presbyterian Assembly, which
meets at Buffalo on May 19, will have
560 members. It is said that the assem-

ches and 578,661 communicants.
The evidences of thrift and improve

going up at Columbus, Augusta, New
Orleans, Natchez and Charleston, and

over the Southern iron districts.
The consumption of opium is rapidly
increasing in San Francisco. There are
four hundred places where opium is
sold, and each one of them receives an
income averaging $75 a day from the
traffiic The religious and secular
press are calling attention to the mat
ter. Girardin was the first to introduce fic
tion short stories and serials into a
political paper, and he also brought
into fashion the broken-line style of
editorial. His motto as a journalist is
said to have been, "Une idee par jour"
a new idea every day and herein,
perhaps, lies the chief secret of his mar
vellous success.
While Messrs. Blair and Burnside
are swelling with indignation at the in
tolerance of the South, it might be a
good idea for them to study the beau
ties of their home laws a little at the
same time. The New Hampshire State
Constitution forbids a Bom an Catholic
to hold an office, while by the laws of
Rhode Island, a Union soldier even can
not vote if he owns no real estate or be
of foreign birth. There is free ballot
for you, with a vengeance.
The coal product of the Schuylkill
region for the week ended April 30
was 182,251 tons as against 105,350 toes
for the week previous, and 104,348 tons
for the corresponding week of last year.
The total product for the week was
723,034 tons, against 407,563 tons for the
same week of last year an increase of
315,471 tons. The output for the year
so far is 8,031,330 tons, against 6,875,916
tons for the corresponding period of

A Touching; Incident.
Governor St. John, the temperance
governor of Kansas, in a speech in an
Eastern city recently related the fol
lowing touching story :
A heart-broken woman came into his
office with a babe in her arms to beg
the pardon of hex husband, who was
under sentence of ten yerrs' imprison
ment in the penitentiary for homiefde.
She showed papers recommending the
pardon from the judge who tried the
man, the prosecuting attorney, and oth
er prominent men. After closely ex
amining the papers, he said, "If I
were to consult my personal feelings I
should gladly let your husband go, but
I am bound by my official duty, and
that forbids it" The woman fell at his
feet in aparoxyism of weeping. "Then
hear me, she cried, "till I tell y6u how
he came to be where he is. We were
married seyen years ago ; we went to a
town (mentioning the place,) and there
in pur little village we were happy. My
husband was sober, industrious, and
thrifty By great exertion and self-de
nial we finally got our home ' paid for.
But in an evil day the state licensed a
saloon, and let itself plant right be
tween my husband's shop and our
house. He was prospering so well that
he could-leave his business in other
hands and lose an hour or two without
feeling it. He was solicited to enter
this saloon, and weakly yielded. Hour
arter hour he spent there playing cards.
One day he became embroilded iff a"
drunken quarrel, and by drink, struck
a-ma&an'd killed hiinv? He was tried
and"' sentVto the.. penitentiary for ten
years. , I had nothing" tor live on. By
and.by the sheriff turned us out of our
comfortable home into a rough shantv.
neither lathed nor plastered. . The cold
wind came m through the walls and
veiling. My, oldest boy took sick and
died. Then little Tommy, my next, tell
sick and died. Now this babe in my
arms is sick, and I have nowhere to
take it. The State licensed that saloon ;
the State murdered my children : and
now in God's name, I want you to set
my husband free. 1 said I would and
did.
A Down Town Merchant,
Having passed several sleepless nights, disturb
ed by the agonies and -cries ef a suflering child,
and 'becoming convinced that Mrs. Winslow'
Soothing Syrup wasi Just the article needed, pro
cured a supply for the child. On reaching home
and acquainting his wife with what he had done,
she refused to have it administered to the child.
as she was strongly m favor of Homoeopathy.
That night the child passed in suffering, and the
parents without sleep. Returning home the day
following, the father found the baby still wonw:
and while contemplating another sleepless night,
we mower sieppea uum we room 10 auena to
some domestic duties, and left the father with the
child. During her absence he administered a por
tion of the Soothing Syrup to the baby, and said
nothing. That night all hands slept well, and the
little fellow awoke in the morning bright and hap
dt. The mother was delighted with the sudden
and wonderful change, and although at first offend
ed at the deception practiced upon her, has con
tinued to use the Syrup.and suffering crying babies
and restless nights have disappeared. A -single
trial of the Syrup never yet failed to relieve the
baby, and overcome the prejudices of the mother.
