In the race for matrimony it isn't alwaj's the girl that covers the most laps that wins. Many persons go through life as the hi'lywcntlhroughJohnson'sDictionary when it' was first published, though no with the same results. She told the author that she was pleased to find no improper words iii it. "Ah!" he re plied, ' I see yoa have been looking for them." Vc have great sympathy for the bachelor who when dying left all his propprty to three ladies who had re fused his offers of marriage. "Nobody can tell," he whispered, "how much those ladies have contributed to my happiness." , .Scandal inlligli Life. The good people of Lexington, X. C, arc very much excited over a scandal in high Hfb in their mid3t, which has culminated in a suit for ab duction, seduction and breach of promise, with damages laid at $25,000. Mis Sallie Hillyard, of Lexington, a very handsome girl of some seventeen years, had received some marked at tentions from her cousin, Alfred -T. Hargraves.. Some time since he sent her to Charlottsville, Va., and follow ed himself in a few weeks, from thence he carried her to St. Louis, and to Texas. It appeas that another young man was travelling with them, and in Texas, gave this young man $25 and sent him with Miss Hillyard to St. Louis, telling them that he would fol low in a few days. They went to St. Louis but Hargraves didn't and it look but a few davs for them to get out of money. The young man who had charge of. the girl wrote home and got some money; and after pay ing expenses they had enough left to get to Greensboro. Prom tbere the young man walked home, and money was sent to the girl, who, after many trials and tribulations arrived at home and has brought suit against Mr. Hargraves. The fact that the parties belong to one of the best and most wealthy families in the county gives it considerable notoriety. The best counsel in the State has been employ ed on both sides, and a bitter fight inay be expected. Winston Sentinel. Drowned Persons not Dead. The New York Post has for two days given its most prominent col umns to the development of the the ory of T. S. Lambert, that drowned persons are not dead, but arc simply in a state of hibernation, and that the reviving agency is heat. The direc tions put forth for restoring the drowned and those otherwise suffoca ted are in substance these : It must first be appreciated that a person re cently drowned is not dead, and will not bo for a long time. When he is taken from the water turn his face down for a moment only, to allow any water in his nose or throat to run out ; then place him, out of currents of air, upon his back, with his head very slightly raised. Do not roll him upon a barrel, nor do anything else to "get the water out of bis luugs," since there is none in them ; nor out of his stomach, since what he has swallowed will not do any harm. Quickly deter mine whether he must be carried to where heat is, or if it can better be brought to or produced near him. If the former, take him gently, quickly and as near as possible in the above said posture. If there must be delay in applying heat, and dry protect ives can be had, take off his wet clothes and wrap the dry articles about him to prevent, loss of heat, covering the head particularly. The warm under clothing of bystanders can Jo con tributed. Several thicknesses of almost anything attainable is better than one. As soon as beat is at hand apply it as ingenuity and circumstances sug gest to be most likely to quickly and thoroughly warm the body. "When that is accomplished theory and fact agree in assuring us that,- if life et exists, the heart will begin, to beat, happily soon followed by breathing, both feebly and onfrequently at first, but more 6trongly and faster until they become natural, when conscious ness will return. If the heart gives one beat, or the lungs one gap, no more need be done ; keep the person warm and he will soon be "all right." Washington Star. I , The New Stock Law for Certain Counties.

In there times wi?n rtinlriii&!fii alliances form the basis of sensations it- is interesting to glean frm the number a few cases which show the variety of fancy .and fiction i:t these perforitftftfee. The d-ying-' fish of .Matthew Crooks, a San -Francisco millionaire, was to witness the mar riage of his daughter, and the cere inony was performed at his beside, several weeks before the time that had been appointed. The dtjath bed desire of Mr. llaydtsn, of the same city, was to break the ercgag-ern-ent of his daughter and be ivrade her prom ise on foer kneea to dfactfrtf her I over. Detroit has had a variation of the common foreign count matrimonial episode the husband running away with the bride's money and jewelyy, but proving, after aH, tv a' real count. A j-oung. woman engaged a section in a sleeping car at Pittsburg, blushingly explained that she would be joined by a husband at Harrisburg. A young man got aboard with a c'e,'3Tmun who married him to the purchaser of the wjction, and the h'oiteyrnooii tvar was at once com menced. A rustic couple dashed into a Washington 03ster saloon, and im plored the proprietor" to" get them married as soon as possible. They had eloped, and parents were on their track. The oyster nan not only. sum-, mcrned a-juCicxy to tie the fcnot, but provided stews for the party after the ceremony.

' Knocking Washing Down. From Collins' History of Kentucky. At the time Gen. Washington was stationed at Alexandria, Ya., as a colonel of a British regiment, before the war of the Revolution, an alter cation took place in the court house yard between him and Wm. Payne, in whic;b Payne knocked Washington dawn. Great excitement prevailed, as Payne was known to be firm, and Washington was beloved by .all. A night's reflection, however, satisfied f Washington that he was the aggressor and in the wrong, and in the morning he. liko a trirc and magnanimous hero, sought an . irr'terViett" with Payne, which resulted in an apology from Washriigtfm mid a warm and lasting friendship bettf'een the two, founded' on mutual esteem.
