"card of invitation" which, says the
Million, he once received in China. It
was from a lady, intimating her inten
tion to commit suicide at a specified
date. She was very young and attrac
tive, and belonged to a wealthy family;
but the Chinese gentleman to whom
she had been affianced from childhood,
having died just before the date fixed
upon for their nuptials, she gave out
that she , deemed it her duty to render
her widowhood irrevocable by dying
with her betrothed. So she sent cards
around to the local gentry giving no
tice of her purpose.
No attempt was made by her rela
tives or the local, authorities to frus
trate her design, though Mrt Medhurst
appealed to the mandarins, the gen
eral opinion being that she was about
to poriorm a meritorious act, Eventu
ally, on the day named, the woman did
deliberately sacrifice her life in the
presence of thousands of spectators.
A stage was erected in the open fields.
with a tented frame over it, from which
was suspended a slip of scarlet crepe.
One end of this slip she fastened round
her neck, and then, embracing a little
boy presented by one of the bystanders,1
she mounted a chair and resolutely
jumped off, "her little, clasped hands
saluting the assemblage as her body
twirled round with the tightening
cord."
Tho woman was not hounded on by
a frantic mob, as was the practice at
suttees in India, but immolation ap
peared to bo an entirely voluntary act.
Sacrifices of this kind, according to
Mr. Medhurst, are not uncommon in
certain districts of China, and, stranga
to say, they arc rewarded with monu
ments, sometimes erected by order of
me emperor.

WAS PREPARED TO
DIE.
Dut
When the Time Came HI
TUloa
Palled to Come True.
Some time since, says the New York
Telegram, a certain farmer in the mid
dle of this state, an eccentric old fel
low tho neighbors said, had a vision.
Somebody appeared to him, a spirit,
hobgoblin or what not, and informed
him that he had only a few months to
live. The date fixed was in Novem
ber. The farmer took the matter very
seriously, but he had no fears. He
told his friends that he was about to
depart, and began to get ready. He
paid all his debts, which is more than
even death can induce every one to do,
and offered his farm utensils and his
stock for sale. He wanted to clean
things up handsomely, as every hon
est man should do, and leave no an- .
tauglements behind him. Among oth
er things to be disposed of were two
cows, but as he wanted to live com
fortably while he did live ho concluded
to hold on to those cows until the last
moment
Oddly enough, now that tho time of
his exit Is close at hand, he has had an
other vision. A new set of ghosts or
hobgoblins have appeared to him and
informed him that arrangements have
been mode to allow him to stay in this
wicked world a little longer. He was
rather relieved at the postponement of
his funeral, but still felt a degree of
embarrassment.for pretty nearly every
thing he had, wagonsi horses and har
nesses, rakes, hoes, axes, some cords of
wood behind the house, had all been
got rid of, and the farm looked aa
though it had just been abandoned.
The old follow is a bit rued, how
ever. "Ihis vision business," he said
the other day, "has cost me dear," and
he has been heard to use some rather
strong expressions about hobgoblins
in general and this particular hobgob
lin that seems to have been playing a
practical joke on him.
lie is specially glad that he didn't
sell those cows. I hey nre about all he
ha left, but they w ill serve as a nil
el.MiN for the things he will have to
buy in order to run the farm. When a
drniitrer eoines along nowadays and
niyi he would like to take a peep at
"i.i.,. cows with a view to purchase
l liein. Hie farmer comes as close to pro
faiiily as 11 country ehnivh deacon
ever I'ets. He thinks the swear words,
but biti n his tongue 1111. 1 remarks that
:ie lnr n't any cows for Mile, but is
thiiiMne, of buying a herd and going
l.!o I lie dairy business.
T!ic moral of this Is that hobgoblins
ire v -i-v useful creatures In their way;
that e hen they tell you to pay your
b bl . you hud licit, r follow their ad
vice, but if they tell y 1 111 you are going
iodic you had licttcr tuko camomile
'. a nnd M ud for the diN'tor. At any
rule, don't u rt ilh your cows.
