Twice each year these hunters, four or five
hundred in number, start for the American terrific

The FIRST WEDDING.-Major Noah thus

am acted like sensible man. He fell a.

He appears to have popped the question al
most Immediately after meeting Mdlle Eve,
and she without any Irritation or shyness,
gave him kiss and herself OF this first
kiss in the world we have had, however our
own thoughts, and sometimes in poetical
mood have wished we were the man "wot
did it." But the deed is done-the chance
was Adams and he improved it. We like
the notion of getting married i'll a garden.
1t is in good taste. We like private we'd
ding Adams was private. No envious
beaux were there; no croaking old maids;
no chattering aunts and grumbing grand
mothers The bdrs of heaven were the
minstrels, and the glad sky flung its light
upon the scene. One thing about the first
wedding brings queer thoughts to us in
spite of scriptural truth. Adam and his
wife we're rather young to be married
some two or three days old according to
the sagest speculation oftheologians-.m mere
babies-larger. but not older-without ex-
perience, without house, without pot or
a kettle, nothing-but love and Eden.'

Two Suicides.


The Paris correspondent of The N. o.
Picayune, gives the two cases below. What
a contrast
Towards the latter part of December and
in the middle of the day, an old sergeant Of
the Prussian army at Erfurt, took his own
life in the following manner For some
breach of discipline he had been reduced
to the ranks, and this SO proyed upon him
that he went at once to one of the heavy
battering guns in the Fort of ST. Petersburg,
which is outside Of the town, and the guns
of which are now kept loaded with powder
and ball on account Of political troubles
Watching his opportunity when no one was
looking, he applied ii slow match to the
piece, and then deliberately placed himself
before the muzzle and set fire to the train
The discharge soon followed, and when the
guard rushed to the piece nothing but the
head and feet Of the old soldier were found
and they were on the glacis.
The next day his arm was picked up in
the square of ST. William, considerable
distance off, but all search after his body
as well as the other arm, had proved una
vailing. For space the inhabitants of Err
furt were in great alarm, the ball from the
heavy battering gun, not only seriously In
turing four of the houses in the town, but
nearly carried away the roof of another

When the officer touched him ON the

last look at the sky, and then deliberately
plunged large knife into his bosom! Tc
all appearance, the knife had struck main

flowed full and fast from the Frenchman's
breast Instantly an odor partaking more
of "fourth proof" than of blood, however
filled the air and reached the olifac

the wound would be fatal-not to the French
man but to his own seizure he hastily tore
open his wastcoat and succeeded in getting
hold of the canteen before more than hal

The parties were at once in the pres
