Sometime in ibe winter of 1 Willis liormali uitciiouly disappeared, Itiiv ing loving wife ami a handsome prop erly. Mi an h was made, but the. missing man could tu t b In ard from, und bis neighbors gave him up for dead. No reason could be aligned for his disap pearance. I'iightecD months ago a man camo to Sedgwick and announced himself as Wil lis (iorman. Ho looked like. Gorman, talked like him and was familiar with matters known only to (iormau and his wife. Still there was something peculiar abuul liiiu, and puuplu bad tbeii duulls. He failed to recollect certain names and localities, but he explained by saying that he had wandered off when temporarily deranged, aud a blow on the head had injured hii mental faculties. During his absence he bad been in Michigan, where his cousin, Juliri McUuirc, had nursed him back to health. This state ment satisfied everyone, and Mrs. Uorman was convinced that the man was her bus bind, The supposed Gorman resumed his old place as the head of his family, and everything moved a long pleasantly until two months ago, when a son was burn in the Gorman household. Then a cous in from Nebraska came to ece Mrs. Gor man and wh"D he caw her husband he declared positively that he was ' not the real Willis Gorman. The whole story was told to him and he pretended to be satisfied. Hut the Nebraska man was still suspicious Ho went to Michigan and investigated the matter, and upon his return he exploded a bomb in Sedg wick. " To make a long story short, he had discovered that Willis Gorman died at the homo of John McGuire, in Michi gan. Dlcuuire had touod out all about his history and circumstances, and as he closely resembled him, he thought he would pass himself off for the dead man He succeeded wonder fully well, and was getting ulong finely until ho was unmasked by Mrs. Gorman's cousin. V iK-n McUuire realized that his deception was known, ho burst into tears and offered to marry Mrs. Gorman at once. 1 he lady s relatives wanted to accept tbc offer, but sho would not listen to it, aud demanded that Mc'iuire should sign written c iiifi-s-ion and depart from the State, leaving her and her child in peace. McGuire accepted these hard condi lions and left. The case is the sensation of the hour out West. Two Leaps. 0XE WAS FOR LIBERTY AND THE OTHER WAS FOR A LIFE. "In passing by the criminal court building the other day," said Luther Laflin Mills, "I recalled, amutig my memories somehow connected with it, that of a' remarkable leap for liberty. "About 15 years ago I prosecuted a yuung fellow for the erimo of burglary. Ho was convicted and sentenced to pris on for a term of six years. After sen tenee, as ho was being convoyed by a deputy sheriff from the courtroom to the jail, aerosf the passage connecting the two buildings, which I have often le garded aa a 'Bridge of Sighs,' the youtig burglar suddenly sprang over tlio low hand railing, which wis then I he only pro tcctioo of the bridge, Unded on his feet 45 feet below, and, recovering himself, made a bold dash for liberty. Ho start ed on a run north on Dearborn avenue, pursued by deputy sheriffs and pjlico men, and was finally recaptured in a barn Dot far from Lincoln Park. When they brought him back, his face flushed, his eyes flashing, his shirt collar thrown opco, ho looked like a young hero of romance. A few days later he was takm to state's prison, where he served his terra. "l'assiDg over the Clark street bridge there recurred to me the memory of an other leap one for life. One evening about fivo years ago on approaching that bridge I found it open and a crowd of about 1,500 men and women in a slate of excitement. A policem in informed me that a woman had fallen into the river. 'What's being done to save her?' I demanded. Before the officer had a chance to reply a young fellow rushed through the crowd, threw off his coal and vest, put his hands together and shot into the water. 11c caught the woman as she was going down the third time, struck out for the shore, and both he and she were landed in safely. "I heard a man say to the rescuer, 'what's your Mine?' 'I have no nauio in which the public is interested,' he ropled. 'But you'r a hero,' urged the man, 'and your name deserves to be ru ido known ' The man shook his head and peremptori ly refused to divulge his name. I h ip pencd to got a good look at the fellow, and there came to me a sudden fl isk of recognition. He was tho samo ooo who had niado the leap for liberty from the Bridge of Sighs. " Things went better with the young .-How after that," continued Mr. Mills He got on and prospered and is now a well to do commercial traveler. "-Chicago Inter Ocean. WHAT THEY 8AV KISSES.

FOKGIVKNESS, Women have been accused of cherish ing the raoeors ot war more ueeply than men, but there are at least twoinstanccs on record, related by distinguished e miuian dere on either side of our Civil war, which show that women can forgive very completely. One of these stories was told by Gen. Robert K Lee: At a hotel iu Washington in 1SG," said Geo L?e, "a gentleman whoso face I could not exactly remember, though it 'cmcd strangely familiar, introduced himself and asked permission to present his mother a singularly beautiful old lady of digoifi 'd bearing. "Mothcrl" ho said to her, let me pre sent to you Geuoral K jbert E.

"The beautiful old lady threw her arms ar itind my neck and wept on my shoul der, and in the fervent clasp of that Fed oral officer's hand and mine wo buiied tho animosities of tlio war forever." The other story w is told by Admiral David D. Porter. "At the death bed of my friend, Col. II ," he related, ' I witnessed the in ist tou.-hing and dniiu.i tic of incidents.

THE SULTAN MAKES SELEC TION WITH MUCH CERE MONY, The sultan, who has ootno beforo the public in such nn unenviable manner of late, need not be lonely while billing in his palacu. It is not generally known that this po tentate ia obliged to marry many women against his will, yet this is true. The law ol'Turkey forces him to take a new wife every year. This law is about a hundred and seventy-live years old, dating from the lime of the Sultan Selim who, wishing to abolish polygamy, had but one wile; but the high dignitaries ol Turkey decided that the ancient laws should be maintained. On the prophet's birlhday, beginnigat sunset and lasting till sunrise, a holiday is kept, on the 18th of Kimaz in, a na tional and religious least, and it is at this time the selection. of a maiden; out of the one hundred and one who have entered the lists, is made. The officials, who havo the matter in charge, raiely allow any of the poorer classes to c impete, and, accepting bribes presents and promises of diplomatic aid, ;athcr the yourg girls together and give them ins;. unions regarding dress and the etiquette of the occasion Tho dress oonsisls of a large white linen sheet thrown ov. r tho shoulders in Roman fash ion, sandals on their feet, hair hanging loosely, and no gems or ornaments. On the important night the sultan mounts a fine hoi. o and is accompanied by all of the palace ministers of state, pashas and aides dc c imp in their gala uniforms, representing all the states over which the sultan wields his scepter. Military bands make loud and wild music, and the hundreds and hundreds of sol diers that line the streets carry on their bayonets Chineses lanterns to illustrate the procession of their ruler. At length the sultan arrives at the Suleimanich Mosque overlooking tie holy carpet or prayer rug. Hero he stands while a sermon is preached to him and then he goes to the great square. This is crowded with persons of distinc tion, and iu tho center is placed a avilion of scarlet velvet, richly embroi dered, and decorated with tho sultan's monogram, the i fficial emblem of Turkey. These draperies are festooned upon silver lus, and within them now aro seen tbc high prioit and the heir to the throne. Ar-.und this stand the one hundred and onj maidens, attired in the white toga, uch holding a towel iu her hand, and making a complete circle around the ulian. A prayer is m ide, ihe heir approaches his father, and, kneeling, off-ra him two pigeons. The sultan, kneeling als takes a knife from his b -It, invokes tho aid of the prophet in the selection of a new wife, sacrifices, rises, washes his hands in the golden basin held by the priest, and dries them upon tho towel of tho young girl he selects. Fortuuately for her comfort alia has nothing to do with housekeeing; for the sultau's household, consisting of 0,000 persons, requires no little executive ability in running the machinery. The trcasuer of tho household attends to this Not less than ten tons of fish aro bought a week; 18,01)0 pounds ol bread are cat ten daily, baked in enormous ovens near the palace; on? ton of ice bought every day for tho inevitable pilaff; tiOO pounds of sugar, one ton of beef, another of veal, to say nothing of cuffoe, vegetables, fruit, sweetmeais, nuts and confectionery.

It is a u;lad surprise lo tho careful slu- dent of the older and the newer Scriptures that the beings whom wo call angels oc cupy so prominent a position in the Fath er's dealings with His children on earth. And it is not (he least curious fact in the history of our modern religious life that tho mission of theso angels should be either ign ired or practically discredited. Wo have not been willing to admit that God uses any secondary agencies in the accomplishment of his purposes. As a eoniicqucoei we suffer spiritual loss, for there is great comfort to be had ia the belief that a throng of invisible beings are nigh at hand in our time of trouble, pitying us in our distress, aud lending such aid as lies in their power. How many of our burdens aro lightened by their succoring strength, how frequent ly we aro enabled to resist temptation by their power to our own, how often holy suggestions come from them which wc attribute to our own miods or hearts, no one can tell. But tbat they do come from heaven to earth and that our daily lives aro blessed by their presence no one who accepts the record of Christ's minis try as veritable history oan possibly doubt. Their doings run through the pages of the Old Testament like a gold thread in a costly fabric. Tho dark places io the life of the ancient Hebrews are il lumined by them and received from them tho mandates of the Most High. Dan iel, when speaking of the strait he was in, said, "Behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man and he informed me aud talked with mc," aud bis experience is so multiplied by others of a like nature that wo arc ul most startled by their constant recur renco. They shine like stars on a winter night; and to them the Hebrews wire indebted for their courage and for their nation il glory. The birth of Christ was announced by an angel; the flight ioto Kgypt with the Child was commanded by un nngel; when the temptation of Christ was ended Ho was ministered unto by angels; when theLc, tearful women stood at the tomb it was an angel, "whose raimeut was white as snow," win proclaimed the resurrection, an 1 when the mob followed the Lord, an 1 the disciples talked of icsistanco by force, Ho rebuked them, declaring that il needful He could call on "more than ten legions of angels." I adduce only a few out of many in stances, but they are sufficient to estab lish and emphasize the fact that we arc scon though we do not see, and that heaven holds the earth in its arms as a mother her bibo. No distance forms a barrier cither to our longing or to their response to it. Wo may not fed the hand Hi it is placed iu ours, but it is there; we do not hear with the hearing of the heart; wo do not see these guard ian spirits with tho eye, but with our inner consciousness we are sure that they ate close by. What a glorious realm ut thought we are exploriug! What a gioriou realm of fact is revealed to us! The poor soul that is being driven along the downward pith by the fury of bis passions is ac companied at every step by God's mes sengers the messengers of His pity and His love and with their supremest efforts they try to bar bis way to further wretch cdness. The lonely heart that has hem pained by frosty misfortune, and falls upon desperate mood that regards even crime with indifference, is surrounded by it visible agents who are doing all that heaven itself can suggest to make the way smoother and the sky brighter. And tho mourning soul, sitting in the shadow of a great bereavement, looking upward ith tear dimned cyos is no one near to hisper consolation? Is God unuiiud ful or powerless to ussuago this grief? The sugels who represent (i.ids symiia thy are in that darkened room, and the neace that couum to thu broken heart conies trom shove.

QkoroI (I. HsTWORTIl, I have been talking with a young mother about her baby, writes a woman. She tells me there is nothing in the world about which every one is willing to give so much free information and advice as upon this nil.j.-ct of a new baby. One woman who comes in to call upon her looks tho baby over und sujs, "You pin it too light." Then she un pins its surcingle and things, and the next woman who comes in says: "Oh, you must pin its clothes lighter. You'll make it pot bellied " Then she pins it up again. Another woman says, "You don't feed it enough;" ihe next woman says, "You fi-i-il the child too much." Another woman recommends fnfi'ron lea and somebody else catnip. Another woman says, "You bathe it too often," another, "You don't bathe it often enough," and another tells a story about the rickets. One woman says, ''Never rock your child," and another siys, "Its clothes uro too long." Everybody examines its flannels, and most persons think sho dresses it too warm and others warn her against croup. She keeps a poison antidote list on the wall and sleeps with a thermometer on the head of the bed and croup medicine under her pillow and carries camphor gum iu her pocket. She is in a flutter from morning till night and from night till morning, and is so apprehensive that when that baby looks crosswise she is uoged into anxiety and despair. 1 lien when her husband comes home and she suggests a new plan of action for that baby and confesses that Mrs. Wiso- acre confided the principle to her, he grows fierce and assures her that he offered that same idea weeks ago, but he refused to follow it. Then ho calls his female advisers "old hens," and about that time any young mother's cup of sorrow is pretty full. There is such a lot ol cruel realism ixed up with the ideal in life I'hila- ilphia Press W. A. McGuire, u well known citixen McKay, Ohio, is of the opinion that there is nothing as good for children troubled with colds or croup ns Cham- rlaiu's Cough lleiuedy. Ho has used in his family for several years with the best nsults aud always keeps a bottle of it in the house. After having la grippe he was himself troubled with a severe tough. Ho used other remedies without benefit and then concluded to try the children's medicine and to his delight it soon effected a permanent cure. 25 and 50 cent bottles For sale by J N.
