The Fictitious Appointment---Three Gem
tlemen DESTROYS Of u Private Interview
with the same Lady.
Brooklyn, New York, is something of n dull
place, but there are a few practical jokers liv-
ing there, without whom, life in the City of
Churches would be very sad affair One of
these B by name, in all kinds of specula-
tion, and who, having made quite fortune
by his shrewdness has nothing to do in par
ticular, lately conceived that it would be an
excellent idea to "selp' u few people, and af-
ford some amusement to their friends. Ac-
cordingly, he secured the services of young
lady, and had three letters written on gilt
edged paper, inviting three gentlemen each
to meet Miss S., singly and alone, at three
o'clock, on Thursday afternoon, at the corner
ofClinton and Joralemon-street. The invited
were two prominent ex-office holders, and the
editor Of a Brooklyn paper, who is noted for
both gallantry and good looks. The writer
was, of course, myth. At halfpast one
clock, on the afternoon named, about q
dozen persons, who had been let into the Sc
cret, might have been seen entering an unoc-
cupied house on the precise corner where the
meeting was to take place. In a few mo-
ments they observed the editor vending his
way along, and at last had the satisfaction of
seeing him stop on the corner and look at his
watch. In moment along came one of the
otilclals. The editor rushed into an area and
hid himself venturing to give an occasional
glance at his adversary.
At last the third party came along full of
pompoSity. Observing the other at dist
ance, just as he was himself discovered, both
jumped behind q couple of tree boxes, which
gave the editor chance to emerge from his
hiding place. Finally, the trio could no
longer avoid meeting, and the usual courte-
sizes were exchanged, the parties in the house
hugely enjoying the rich treat of seeing these
sold" Each gentleman trying to get the
other out of the way, in order that the
"woman" might be seen in comparative
privacy For two hours the three ''bobbed
around" every few minutes meeting on some
corner in the neighborhood. The jokers then
left the house one by one, shaking hands with
the party, which made the editor say that
Che be = if he ever met 80 many friends,
all in a heap, during his life" 1t was six
o'clock before those who enjoyed the treat
departed, and one of the officials at that time
still held on to lamp-post waiting for that
COMPOUNDED woman.'

EXPENSE OF INTERMENT NOWADAYS
Through the influence of fashion, the ex-
penses of burying the dead have become SC
heavy that they can hardly be borne even by
the middling classes Of society. We err in
this respect. We do it for the sake of honor.
ing the remains of the respected and beloved
dead. We purchase an expensive mahogany
or rosewood coffin. How unnecessary fol
the few hours it stands in the parlor of the
deceased In its procession through the city
it is concealed in the hearse, and is soon GOV.
cred by the dust. Why is all this expense ?
Does it honor or crafty the dead? Does il
satisfy the living2 Would not its expense
be better employed in paying the debts of the
deceased, or in making the survivors com.
Portable Is it honest, for the sake of pa.
geantry of moment, to cheat some honest
creditor out of his dues? Is it Just to waste
money in so useless ceremony, when the
food, and the clothing, and the shelter of sur.
vivors have to be neglected?

Antl-Siavery Fannticism in NIassachu-
setts-A Slave Girl Stolen.

Recently, the ship SylUia, Captain Swasey

ten or twelve years of age, native of the
Islands, and as described says the Mercury,
"a perfect Congo negro" The Captain went
to the Parker House to stay until he should
leave town, taking the girl with him. Some
of the colored people saw the girl, and sup
posing from her looks that she was q slave,
and that Captain Swasey was her master,
they determined to keep a lookout, and pre-
that when Captain Swasey went to the depot
with his sister, who was to set out for their
home in Newport, r. l., intending to take
the girl With her, a crowd of excited negroes
gathered around, and number of females
pounced upon the girl and succeeded in OBJ
tanning possession Of her, despite the efforts

INCREASE OF EMIGRATION FROM IRELAND
The London Times, of late date, has an article
devoted to the Irish emigration, from which
it appears that the causes which for the last
four years have suspended emigration, have
no longer that effect, but that there is regu-
lar fight of emigrants from the western part
of Ireland. Three hundred passengers were
embarked from Queenstown, on the Edia-
burg, for New York. A large number on the
Anglo Saxon, for Portland. Two hundred
passed through Sligo for Liverpool and many
more were going by Galway. The great
majority of them was from Belmullet, in the
County of Mayo. A considerable number
also belonged to the county of Sligo. The
tide of emigration (says local paper) has set
in in right good earnest from the western
province. ---

Robbery as n Fine Art-The Most AdrOit
Theft on Record.
One evening, as Marie Antoinette sat qui-
city at her loge at the Theater, the wife of
wealthy tradesman of Paris, sitting nearly
Dts-d-Ois to the Queen, made great parade Of
her toilet, and seemed peculiarly desirous of
attracting attention to u pair of splendid
bracelets cleaning with the chaste contrast
of emeralds and diamonds. She was not
without success. A gentleman of elegant
men and graceful manner presented himself
at the door of her loge; he delivered a mes
sage from the Queen. Her Majesty had re-
marked the singular beauty of the bracelets,
and wished to inspect one of them more
closely. What could be more gratifying?
In the seventh heaven of delighted vanity,
the bridesmaids wife unclasped the bracelet
and gave it to the gentleman, who bowed
himself out and left her-as you have doubt
less OWNED he would-abundant leisure to
learn of her loss.
Early the next morning, however, an Of
| fcer from the department of police called at
this ladys house. The night before, a thief
had been arrested leaving the theater, and on
his person were found many valuables,
among others, a splendid bracelet. Being
penitent, he had told, to the best of his re-
collection, to whom the articles belonged
and the lady called upon was indicated as the
owner of the bracelet. If Madame possessed
the mate to this singular bracelet, it was
only necessary to intrust it to the officer, and
| if it was found to compare properly with the
other both would be Immediately sent home
and Madame would have only triling fee
to pay. The bracelet was given willingly
and, with the stiff courtesy inseparabe from
official dignity, the officer took his feave, and
at the next cafe joined his fellow, the gen.
tleman Of elegant mien and graceful manner
The bracelets were not found to compare
properly and were not returned.

ABSORBING AND DESTROYING ToIL.-A New
York paper speaking of the testimony taken
in the matter of limiting the hours of labor
of women and children in bleaching and
dyeing works, says one child stated that at
times, when they were filling heavy orders,
he had frequently not been in bed more than
sixteen or eighteen hours week. Another,
eleven years of age, testified that he began
work at twelve o'clock ON Sunday night,
and worked until eight o'clock Monday
night; then started again on Tuesday morn
ing, and worked till twelve o'clock at night
and did this for two or three months without
stopping. The foreman stated that the ther-
mometer in the rooms often stood at one
hundred and thirty degrees, and in this at
mosphere the. boys and girls often worked
sixteen, seventeen and eighteen hours per
day. A foreman of another establishment
stated that for three days of the week, during
the summer, the girls worked twenty hours
per day, and that their ages averaged from
ten to eighteen years. The bill to limit the
hours Of work passed with a large majority.

REMARKABLE ESCAPE OF A WOMAN FROM
THE INDIANs-Mrs. John Page, as we have
mentioned, was some time since carried away
from her home in Arizona by the Apache
Indians, who, being closely pursued by the
whites, rather than surrender their prisoner,
lanced her in several places and left her for
dead. At the same time the poor woman
was suffering severely with fever and ague.
Notwithstanding her disease and injuries,
however, she managed to creep away from
the place she had been left, bound up her
wounds, and managed to sustain life by roots
until she arrived at white settlement.

LAUGHING AND CRYING BENEFICIAL To
CHILDREN.-The New York NeOs asserts that
Laughing and crying are very beneficial to
children. A child that spends one day with

At any rate, their indulgence in these prac-
tices strengthens and toughens the organs
them against the fatal influences of scarlet
fever" If crying only were requisite to the
health of children, they would never be i'll.
