These sparkers are looked upon by parents generally as it nuisance, and often they are right.

A green boy without a dollar, present or prospective, sparking girl regu- larly and talking about marrying, is a specter ole for gods and men. He should be reasoned with, and if he will not quit it until he is able to support a wife, and to know whom he loves and the difference between love and passion, he should be quarantined or put in a convent erected on purpose for such cases.

THEY ALL AGREE DON'T NEED All Y. NOT ON DAT LAY. A Young Bride, formerly of Elmira, Ont, Deserted by Her Husband in Chicago. CHICAGO. March 9.â€"-A prepossessing young woman about 20 years. old tremblingly en- tered the detective’s room at Central Station yesterday and told an interesting story of her husband’s descrtion of her in a strange city, without friends and almost penniless. The young lady’s maiden name is Fannie Strout, and her home is in Eimu‘s. Waterloo county, Ont. Delective Hans was instructed to assist her in finding her renegade husband, and to him she confided the story of her marriage and desertion. About a year ago Miss Strout made the acquaintance of a young telegraph operator named W. Sole, who manipulated the electric key and transcribed the clicks of the invisible power in on silica in the vicinity of the Slrout home. The acquaint- ance ripened into a. iriendship which quickly become courtship, and resulted in an engagement. Sole was not rich but poor, hardly in circumstances to warrant marriage, and with a view of hastening the happy event by making his fortune, or at any rate putting himself in a butler condition financially for the prospective home, he started with bright hopes for Denver, promisrng when he had succeeded to send for his afiianced. His hopes were realize-d, he established himself in a paying business, and not forgetting his Canadian sweetheart he sent for her. Last January, on her arrival in Denver, they were married in an “ English" church, the name or location of which she cannot recall. They rented seems and lived happily together. he showing every devotion for his wiie, and she reciprocating with all the order of a trusting bride. Not r. cloud darkened the horizon, nor was there oven is suggestion of what followed. About two weeks ago Sole suggested that they return to Canada. and his wife, taking it as on evidence of his love for her who had never beiore been so long from her parents home, gladly accepted the opportunity, if only to tell them of her joy. The arrangements were soon completed, and they started. Arriving in this city, they put up at the Atlantic hotel. This was on Monday. Tuesday morning he left the hotel early, and did not return. She wondered at his absence, and worried for his society. Night came. and still he was missing, and she was frigh- tened. In her frenzied inquiries she learned thst he had paid the hotel bill and had car- ried oli her trunk, which had not been sent to the room, with him. She also discovered lthat he had registered as “ Shaw," and llaths to build a hen house. But they see a ‘ girl who looks sunning, and they are afraid there are not going to be girls enough to go rJuml, and then they begin to get in their work real spry; and before they are aware of the sanctity of the marriage relation they are hitched for life, and before they own a mokstove or n. herist they have in get up in the night and go after the dobtor, so trighten ed that they run themselves out of breath and abuse the doctor because he does not run too; and when the doctor gets there he finds that there is not linen enough in the house to wrap up a doll baby. It is at about this time tha‘ a young man begins to realize that he has been a colossal fool, and as he flies around to heat water and bring in the bath tub, and goes Whooping after his mother or her mother, he turns pale around the gills, his hair turns red in a single night, and he calls high heaven to witness that if he lives till morning, which he has doubts about, he will thrn over a new leaf and never get married until he is older. And in the morn- ing the green looking “ other ” is around be fore a drug store is open, with no collar on, his hair sticking every way, his eyes bloodshot and his frame nervous, waiting for the clerk to open the door so he can get some sailron to make tea of. Less than a year ago he thought he was the greatest man there was anywhere, but he sits there in the house that morning, with his wedding coat rusty and shiny, and his pants frayed at the bottom, and his coat patched at the elbow, and the nurse puts in his arms a. little roll of flannel with a baby hid in it, he holds it as he would a banana, and as he looks at his girl wife on the bed nearly dead from pain and exhans~ sion, and he thinks there is not provisions enough in the house to lead a canary, a lump, comes into his throat and he says to himself that if he had it to do over he would have that little girl at home to grow up with her mother, and he would wait till he had six dol. lurs to buy baby flannel and ten dollars to pay a doctor.â€"I’eck’s Sun. it was evident 1hat his plan was to desert her. A: the time he had $5600 of his own money and 341 belonging to her with him. A few days preuous, while en route. he had got possession of her wedding ring. and that he carried away with him. Her marriage certificate was in the trunk, and her grief is pitiable, as now she fears difl'multy in convincing her parents of her marriage. With remarkable generosity, the fellow sent her a, postal money order, mailed in Chicago, for $50, which she recalved yesterday. 615- pelling s11 doubts of his intentions. With the exception of that small arhou'nt she is destitute, having no clothing but that on her person, and a small amount of linen that she carried in asmall satchell. She wants to get home, but (heads to go Without some proof of her marriage. This is why she wants to find her husband, hoping that she can induce him to give the certificate and ring back, as she will not trouble him again after such desertion.

MISPLACED AFFECTION. been four after Wmmrne, March 9.â€"The particulars of the Meadowlea fire and frost disaster on the night of the recent blizzard are heart-rending. The fire broke out. late on Saturday night, when Thomas Taylor, his wife, and three daughters, aged respectively 27. 25, and 21 years, also Miss Reid. “of the city, a visiting friend, were in the house. All had retired to sleep except the daughter Lizzie. Thelatter gave the alarm, and all arose, and only par- tially drrssed, being anxious, if possible to stay the fiery element. Their efforts were in vain. Lizzie. it is supposed, went to her uncle's house a short disince away for assist- ance. Miss Reid took refuge in a stable twenty yards from the house. Mrs' Taylor, anxious about Miss Reid’s whereabouts, went in search of her. but was overpowered by the blizzard, then raging at its highest pitch. She perished. Annie, the other daughter next went in search of both, but was com- pelled to take shelter in a. vacant house a quarter of a mile ofi’. Miss Reid, in the meantime, returned to the fire. and along with the old man and the daughter Mary Jane took such comfort as was afforded by the smouldering remains in the cellar. Annie returned to the fire at daylight, but finding that her mother and Lizzie had not returned went again search, and no more was seen of her. The fire being low and affording no warmth, the old man and Miss Reid concluded to go to the house that sheltered Annie during the night. The wo- men reached it through the storm, but Mr. Taylor was forced to return to the fire. Soon after reaching the vacant house Mary Jane began to get despondent, and reproved her- self for having left her father, and thinking that he and all the remainder of the family were frozen to death, expressed a wish that she might die also. She lay prostrate on the floor, and continued to moan, refusing to be consoled by Miss Reid. and was discovered next morning by Ralph Taylor, son of Wm. Taylor, a brother of the father of the desti- tute family, and in a house only three quar- ters of a mile distant he found the uncle terribly frozen and unconscious. Ralph Taylor returned for a cutter and assistance. When the party returned, they found Mrs. Taylor frozen on the prairie, Mary Jane lying on the floor, and Miss Reid kneel- ing at her side. Miss Reid was much emausted. Ralph Taylor Arrive in Torontoâ€"A Tale of Horrible Sufferlng. The Globe says : On Thursday two Bus sian Jewish refugees arrived in Toronto, and were received and attended to by the Jewish committee. They are now at the residence of Mr. J. Mintz, Richmond street,their names being respectively Horris Dulkin and Ephraim Banatt. The latter appears to be about fifty years of age, and the former close on thirty. Mr. Mintz gave the following information concerning the refugees. They hail from Kenatep, a place about 150 miles distant from Kieff, in Russia. When the anti-Jewish riot were taking place,the leading magis- trates of .Kenalop were informed that the rioters were about to attack the place. A re“ quisition was sent to the nearest military station for troops to protect the place. When the troops were about to be dispatched, a se- eond order countermanding the first was re- ceived by the commandant. That evening the rioters desaended on the place. The Jews were driven into the street, their pro~ petty stolen, and their houses afterwards burned. The refugees were only aware of one being killed, he being a father, who, while protecting his daughter, was struck on the head with a club and instantly killed. Though they were not aware of actual cases of violation, women and girls were to their knowledge treated in a most brutal manner and several severely beaten. It was a bitter night in a Russian winter, and the sufferings of the hunted people can be better imagined than described. Next morning those who could lied, most of them making their way to Austrian towns. Dulkin and his compan- ion fled to Brod, where there is a large colony of Jews. There, however, they found already 15,000 families of refugees, who were on the verge of starvation. the utmost endeavors of their brethren in Brod beingin sufficient to supply the wants of the starving thousands encamped in the fields. The two at once came to the determination to emigrate to America. They made for Hamburg and thence took steamer to New York. From the latter place they went to Bay City, Mich. and from Bay City they came here. They are married, and left their wives and families in Galicia. drove them all to the uncle’s house. Neither of the women spoke a word from the time they were put into the sleigh until they reached Wm. Taylor’s house. Mary Jane only breathed for a few minutes after being carried into her uncle’s house, notwithstanding that every effort was made to resuscitate her. Every attention was given Miss Reid, but it was only after she had been some time wrapped up in warm 'flannela that she regain- ed consciousness. The storm was raging no hard that it was impossibie to continue the search for the remainder of the bodies. THE MEADOWLEA TRAGEDY. Mr. D. E. Scott, ex-warden of the county, hearing of the aflair at once took the matter in hand and. the search was renewed, and Dr. Pitford was brought from Stonewall. Scott found Annie’s body frozen on the prairie, half a mile from the burned house. She was lying on her face, her head and shoulders be- ing covered in a. qu1lt. which she had seized soon after the fire broke out. Forty or fifty neighbors resumed the search on Tuesday morning, on d at 2 p. m. Lizzio‘s frozen oorpse was found four miles from home in the direction of her uncle's house, but beyond it.

In cempany with his Wife and two children Graham was re- turning from a funeral, and on reaching Gibson’s crossing the horse took fright while afreight train was approaching. His wife and children jumped out of the sleigh and requested him to do the same. He neglected doing so, however, and was struck by the train and carried over a. hundred feet, the whole train passing over his body. which was frightfully mangled. â€"Suicide is assuming somewhat alarming dimension in Brlin.

WHOLE NO. 1,288,â€"â€"N0, 42 COMIC BUDGET. Canadian Indians Seize an American Sheriff. Four Assmmomn, Montana, March 9.»â€" There is a. good deal of excitement in this section, caused by the capturing of Sheriff Healy, his brother, and Mr. Talbot by Indians and halfâ€"breeds from across the Canadian. line. They had been camped along Milk River for the purpose of stopping illicit trade 1nd arresting the offenders. It seems that some 30 miles east of the Big Bend on the Milk River, ieuly found a camp of several hundreud families of halfrtreeds and Cree Indians, they belonged to Canada. and being without authority in the United States. At the same time upon an Indian reservation, Healy found many offenders of the low, and being a man of pronounced bravery and in- tegrity where official action is wanted, at once arrested six of the head men known to be smugglers and low breakers, and seized about $5,000 worth of robots and other property. Be prepared to return with his captives to- wards Fort Benton. In this little scheme he was defeated for the half breeds and Cree Indians surrounded him with sufficient force to bring about the disarmament and capture of Healy and his two followers. This all happened about the 20th ultimo, since which time the friends of Heady have beon in ignorance of his whereabouts, and grave fears have been entertained by his friends as to his safety. Yesterday a. telegram was re- ceived by General Ituger, commanding the district of Montana, and stationed at Helena. setting forth Healy’s condition and danger, and asking for immediate help from the military authorities. The deepatoh was smuggled through the camp by the help of an old time friend of Healy’s, who happened to have been camping with the halfvbreeds. It is generally believed by the people of this section of the country that Healy’s chance must be really desperate when calling for help, for his reputation for coolness. bravery, and goodjudgrncnt is beyond question. In facthe is a desperate man in the face of danger, one who can take core of himselt under most circumstances. He was a. veteran of the war, an I of immense endurance, physi- cal power snd an: bition. When such as he crlls for help in such terms as he does there must indeed be danger. in response to his call for help, General Roger, the cifi~ cient district commander, caused two com- panies of cavalry and two companies of infan~ try to start out for the rescue of Eealy and the expulsion of the low breakers. This 001.. urnn left Assiniboinc at nine o’clock under commcnd of Captain Norwood, of the second cavalry. Nor-wood is o. most excellent and judicious officer, and will carry out his in- structions to the letter. Late in the afternoon orders were received to increase Captain Nor- wood’s command by five more infantry com~ ponies, which will bring the number of the troops in the field to about four hundred. It is not expected thatt the hull breeds and the Orees will offer any resistance to the United States troops, out many fears are entertained that poor Healy and hrs two companions will pay the penalty. This is a romance but true, truer than most newspaper stories. It might be that and still give the truth “ points” and beat it. But this is the story, which we vouch for : Five years ago it young Dublin man loved and won a. beautiful lass. and as both were poor determined to carve for the twain a fortune in the great Northwest of Canada, which at that time had Just commenced to” make a stir in the world. They parted with many tears, swearing fidelity to each other, and for five long years corresponded every two Weeks, letter creasing letter midway on the ocean. Each was faithful. Be adored his absent idol, and she worshipped her ideal Northwestern former. The time came when he was prosperous and well to do, and he sent the, to her, glad tidings across the great waters. by those who go down to the sea. in ships. She was overjoyed, and to save expense eho crossed the wild ocean alone, instead of compelling him to visit the green isle, and bring her out. He came down from Beacons" field, Manitoba, and met her in Toronto. This is where the trouble commenced. She looked upon him and decided that he was not her ideal. He gazed upon her, and all the love that had fed upon her letters and the memory of her beautiful face for five long; years intensified. He tried to clasp her in his arms in the most approved fashion, but she burst into tears and repulsed him. And yet he is worth $35,000. the approved N. W. amount. She told him brokenly that she could not marry him, and be, keeping up his courage, stalked majestically from her pres-- ‘Pnoe. Ha declared that he would return to Winnipeg that night.
