An affair, which was chock- full of dramatic
effect and incident, and which contained as
much genuine romance as a library of ''yaler-
kivered" novels, highly concentrated, came off,
or rather, "came to a head' yesterday. It
seems that certain young female, who shall,
of course, be nameless, had ''loyed not wisely,
but too well" and the mother of the damsel be-
coming acquainted with the real position of
things, sought out the author of the trouble,
and insisted upon his marrying her daughter.
This the youth most ungallantly refused to do,
and the mother, without consulting her daugh
ter, had the unfaithful swain arrested and taken
before alderman Clements.
The young lady, upon hearing of the ex-
treme measures 10 which her parent had resort
ed, became frantic with rage and modification,
and she forthwith proceeded to make arrange
ments for shuff1ing off this mortal coil, and she
actually hanged herself. Fortunately, she was
discovered before it was too late, and cut down
in time to save her life. This incident having
come to the ears of her betrayer, his stubborn
ness yielded at once. He was unable to with
stand this last strong evidence of devotion and
despair, and he consented to be married The
ceremony was performed by alderman Clements,
and the twain found themselves in moose,
which we trust will prove more comfortable
one than that by which the lady sought to rid
herself Of her troubles Philadelphia Bulletin

Russia In Europe, has only CAT, and in the
whole Of her empire only SO. 1t is this want
of concentration which renders it of the first
necessity that Russia should connect her scat

bers are otherwise sources of weakness, espe-
cially in defensive warfare. This has only been
discovered when she was assailed on divers
