Is what has long been known as the
haxmted spring. While the singular
phenomenon may possibly at some time
be explained , it has up to this time
bafllt-d the most sceptical , says the Lon
don edition of the New York Herald.
The spring comes from underneath a
huge rock , and frequently tempts the
thirsty traveler to dismount ,
Nothing peculiar i sliced t > " "tjl a
stooping posture is taken over the
spring for the purpose of drinking. Then
a nv > = t frightful face appears in the
biitoai , and as the person's face ap-
j -xw htsthe surface of the water , the
sptre face , with most horrid grimaces ,
r.-t-s to meet it. No one has ever been
1 , wn to have the courage to drinK the
ttav i after the appearance of the apparition -
parition , and while it is probable that
t e j-vuliar shapa of the rocky basin
aid tne reflecting nature of its fonna-
t.on has much to do with this phenome-
c JQ. yet to those who have experienced
the sensations which accompany a sight
o ! the < = pdcial face no such explanation
could be made. As is Ufual among the
tr.intain folks when anything strange
cMMs among them , the phantom spring
is the ? ub ) .vt of an Indian legend.
There was , as the story goas , a baauti-

yet no woman who find- the irat-es of so
ciety closvd a < rainst her evt-r had suh
a varied career. Being born on English
soil she may be called an English woman ,
though her"mother was a French ballet-
dancer and her father an Austrian sol
dier ol good family. A little income
was settled upon her and with this a
good education was given her. At 16 ,
beautiful a- the mo-t material Venus ,
she stood on the stage , and then , ad-
vanicng a little , she sang a sentimental
ballad , which drew to ner the eyes of
the men who had not yet discovered her
wonderful form. Her stage eo-tume may
be said toha\ccostherliterallynoihing.
She was the toast of the club and
tbe delight of the gay men about
town. "Her witty sayings were
quoted , her la-t costume imitated , and
all went merry as pos-ible until one day
a man died rather mysteriously in her
'
hou-e. To e-cape th'e talk she came to
this country.
Whether it was that the gentleman in
red takes care of his own or not it is im
possible to say , but on the trip over she
met an old inan an invalid who be
came perfectly infatuatM with her. She
nursea him tenderly and carefully , and
when New York was reach-'d he took
her to the house of his d&areM friends ,
claiming that she wns his ward. Thts > e
people were goc-d to her , and she never

time her agc-d adorer was rapidly grow

tively forbwde his having anything to

her friend tl t which he longed for ?
Certamlv not. So every day when she
was alone with him that his nurses
might have a rest , she gave him just as

Henry Von Scboonhoven has b en run

but he has quit that business now. a ?
well as hia home. He wa * a widower
with three children , aged fourteen , six
teen and eighteen years. The two lat
ter are girU and the vouagest a buv.
With him resided hia former wile's
mother. Six months ago Henry came
home from Putsburx aooumpa&ica by a
fine-looking boy whom he introduced to
his family as the son of a deceased
friend. The lad's home , he said , was
Joe Lan- . The mother-in-law did not
take kindly to tbe city youth , and the
children , too. se * ned dfesatisded. Joe ,
how er , sooo won the afi ctuM of the
whole family. In J * nntte , a neigh
boring village , the young ladies
fell in love with him. and his
trunkful of letter ? tell how he
won their heart * . Hi * preenc was de

oa morv than one occasion Henry Tras
reprhi indfd by her for shcurinff too
much partiality toward the sonof his de-
ceaxl friend and neri-cunij his own
children. Henry would always pacify
the old ladv. but when recently she savr
"
that an und"erpannent of Lang's was such
as is not worn bv a toy the old lady was
terribly ansered.
Sub-equent events justified 'her 5u
picicns , and when she upbraided Henry
for harboring a female he wilted , and
confessed that Joe Lang was a wosnan.
and that they were married in Allegheny
City on the day on which hebrofl hf the
boy home. There was a scene , and the
njother-in-law was rajrinc : mad. Henry
and his wife remained another day in the
Von Schoonhuven domicile , but on the
folkr-vine night they di-appeared. The
inorainrr after the old lany received a
letter from Henry saving that he had
lakea 5300 , and that he and his wife were
on their way west.
Von Schoonhoven is about thirty-five
years of age and his bride is not much
more than eighteen. Her name was
Fanny Smith and her j arenls reside in
Pittsburg.
A very interesting wedding , which
cannot aptly b ? described as a niarriaire
a la mode , or a love match , or even a
mere mesalliance , but partak- the
nature of all three , has lately taken
place in an obscure Polish village , the
brsdeCToom teinjr no less a personage
than a SpaAi-h grandee the governor
of the Phiiipine island and the bride
a charming , artless Poli-h peasant girl.
? ays a bt , Pi-tersburt : letter. The match
ws- . brought about in this way. A year
ago the Spanish dignitary obtained
leave of &bsenoe and paid a visit to Paris
for the sole purpo-e of seeking for a
suitable life partner in that international
matrimonial mart. The qualifications
required of the bride were few. but im
portant ; she should profe-s the Roman
Catholic faith and should have some
thing more valuable than her facie for
her fortune. Hif vigilant eyes soon fell
upon a beautiful Polish , maiden , who ,
though a peasant , could boast of great
worldly wealth and was blessed with
looks , which were over and above the-
conditions. The Spaniard cultivated
U eacquaintance of this Slavonic nuuden.
talked with her father , proposed and
was accepted. Shortly before the mar
riage a Polish prince the owner of
the village of Sandomir WHS induced to
confer by adoption upon tbe young lady
tbe title of prince * * . After this the gov
ernor of the Philippine islands journeyed
to Rus&ian Poland , to the govcrniaent of
Kelets , where , a few days ago , he was
united in wedlock to the lady of his
heart. The marriage ceremony was
performed by the bishop ol Siuidvmir in
too rural church of an obscure village
according to tbe rites of the Roman
Catholic chuiva. The little chapel was
filled with peasants of every age. among
whom were many of the former pla\-
ma tee of the bbisning bride.
There is a queer and fanny slory. also
true , about a young couple from Glade-

Emma Lemon.but the prospects for mak

went to Uaioelown to secure work. He
got a job , and in the early part of the
present year sent for his jwJorod Emma
to cone to Uaiontowa , as he had every
thing all arranged for a quiet wedding
at that place , marriage license and all.

Miss Lemoa is to be oae o ! the contract

ML-s Christina Mansfield , a b-sautiful
young woman of thLr city , promis-xl her
liapd in marriaze some months a so to
Albert Bersinger. Before the dat j set
for the wedding the young- man devel
oped svmptoms"of emsumptioa and went
-outh for his health. Three weeks airo
he wrote Mls . Mansfield saying his iil-
ne had developed into quick conoump-
tion and that as his ca-j was considered
incurable he would release her from her
encasement. He added that he in
tended committing s-aicide , but would
live long enough to cet her answer to
"
his letter , says"a Birmingham , Conn. ,
dispatch to the New York World. In
stead of writing Mise Mansfield an
swered the letter in per-on. She went
soath , brought her lover back aad had'
him placed in the New Haven hospital ,
where she a.-ked for and was accorded
the privilege of nursing him.
She sold her dres-es and jewels to ret
little luxuries for her unfortunate lover
and made other sacrific-- * for him. Sat

Springfield Republican : Once there
was a Intle boy who recr-ived daily in
struction from bis good pious mother in
lessons of morality. Unfortunately the
boy's father was a worldly man and
taught the boy many things that were
not strictly orth'odox. and had a habit of
laughing at what he called tbe boj'
cuteness. Charley had been exeeeingly
anxious for a drum , and the good mother ,
thinkiag to illustrate a lesson , bought
him a drum , and then explained to him
that he should pray for what he wanted ,
acd insisted that if he would pray with
earnestness and faith the prayer would
be answered. She put the drum under
the bed and. when Charley went to say
his prayers , explained to him how his
supplication might be answered. Then
Charley prayed : "Now I lay me down
to leep ; I want a drum. I prav the
Lord my soul to keep ; I want a drum.
If I should die before I wake. I want a
drum ; I pray the Lord my soul to take.
I want a drum. Amen. " At this point
the mother moved Her foot and the drum
rolled out from under the bed. Charley
regarded it with a glad surprise , xnu
looking up with eyes a big as saucers ,
inquired of bis mother : "Where in the
derfl did it come from' * *
