One Of his sons, who afterwards became

Il very tricky boy, perhaps miSchirvous in

woman, OF Grabbed temper, and rather un,
godly in her mode Of living. She and the
boy bad quarre!ed. and the result was that
he took quiet opportunity to kill one OF
her hens. She went immediately to DR..
Lawson, and charged his son with the
deed. She was believed, and it was no,

was ordered to abide in the house; and. to
make his sentence more severe, his father

MuppY-DAY SKlRrs.-Folowing the die
tates of the Partisan arbiters Of fashion,
some of our fair friends in this city have
adopted for muddy days dress.skirt or
show pe'ticoat Of peculiar gorgeousness.-
The stylish article which, of course is
intended to be jann,ily revealed to the i'm
pertinent masculine eye, when the fair
wearer trips daintily across the muddy
street is fashioned of cachemirc, or wooden
serge, in any bright color the fair wearer's
taste or fancy may choose-rcd, gray,
magenta, or what not. Around the bottom
runs tuyute Of the same, with two rows
of white and black braid and above this,
narrow gallon o! black silk braided with
white. To increase the effect, they some
tunes have strip Of ename!led leather,
plentilu!ly adorned with steel buttons, just
above the hem. Here is garment for our
feminine country cousins to copy, If they
want to utterly overwhelm their rustic
beaux; for it has dazzling effect upon
stern mans blinking optics 1t strikes
US as being still more festive than the

A IELEGRAPnlC MARnIAGE-The Syra-
cuse papers are making great ado owe,
the novelty of marriage by telegraph -
The contracting parties are Mr.. Charles S
Gardiner, a uIeMaer Of the 4th New York
artillery regiment, stationed at Washing
ton, ID. C., and Miss Anseine E. Palmetcr.
Of North Volna, OSwcgo county, n. Y
The officiating clergyman was Rev VIM
II. Carr, Chaplain Of the 4,h artilL ry. -
The cerrnloni :, three telcgraphic dispatch
eS which passed between Rev. Mr.. Carr,
Mr.. Gartllper, ard Miss Palmctcr, cn thv
occasion, occupied about an hour and Il
half. 1t appeared that the parents of the
bride olj ;c,ed for some reason to her pro.
posed marriage with Mr.. Gardiner. In the
course Of the correspondence between the
lovers, it was agreed that formal contract
Of marrying should be entered into be-,
| tween them by means Of te!egraphic com.
munica,ion.
Miss Palmcter was at the telegraph office
at Fulton, according % appointment. and
received the first dispatch about / oclocl>.
The telegram was from the officiating clcr-
syman at Washington, who asked of he,
the usual Question in such cases, whether

An hour afterwards she received a re.

her that Mr.. Gardiner took her ''tor better

LICENrroUsNESs IN WASHINGTON. The
st. Louis Republican,, on authority Of re.
cent visitors in Washington, says: Tho
honest people Of that country at large have
no adequate conception Of the shameless
immortality at the capital. 1t haunts it.
self abroad with an obstrusiyeness which is
disgusting to the last degree. No member
Of Congress, who is decent himself, or has
any respect for his wife and daughters, can
tolerate weeks stay at one Of the public
houses. Society" in any sense Of the
term which would not be acceptable to
painted courtczan, doesn't exist at WASH
ington. The respectable residents have in
a manner secluded themselves within the
walls of their preierring for tho
female members Of their families the pri-
vacy Of even a Turkish zensna to the risks
Of contact with the foul creatures whose
prescn ,e permeates all Washington with
moral atmosphere as much to be avoided as
the mephetic vapoIs of a swamp filled with
fevers 1t is considered by those who know,
that no capital in christendom has, within
this century, been so visibly and palpably
botched over with the corrupt issues Of IL
centIousness as Washington is at this time.

BORROWING AND LENDING.-This is poor
business to both parties. The proverb,
The borrower is servant to the lendcr,' is
now often reversed. Owners Of tools are
excessively annoyed by hunting up what
some one has borrowed-oftcn to more
than their value. Never lend tool unless
the borrower will promise to bring it back
ito day." And if he does not, 60 for il
the moment it is due. This will do him a
substantial kindness by teaching him good
manners, you will have the tool ready at
hand the moment it is wanted. Here is an
illustration Of another way of doing:
"Will you lend me your axe-you won't
want to use it, reckon"
"Why, yes, I'll let you TAX. it, scen'
you want it,
In about two months the owner does
want to use his axe, and applied to the
borrower, hut he has not got it; "the last
he seed on it. Mr.. Fletcher had it to cut
some roots with"
The poor owner then goes to Mr.. Flctch
Stranger, have you seen my axe lent
Mr., Brent tn,her day."
"Why, yes, reckon Mr. Bowers got it;
he said he wanted to chop some fircwoo !,
so lent i, to him. You'd bes. ask him for
it,"
He goes.
Norman, Mr.. Bower; how's your wife?"
Lively, reckon; how's yourn:'
about right, I reckon; have you had a
hold of my axe?'

handle-it was a powerful weak one-but
YOU can mend it; and, when you've done

Family Namea are rioh a<na,.
The English Register General, lately
published, shows that there are nearly forty
thousand different surna,nes in England.
II is estimated that among these there are
fifty.threc thousand families bearing the
names Of Smith, and ffty-ons thousand
bearing the name Of Jones. The Smiths
and jones alone are supposed to include
about half million of the population.
In an avarage it seems that one person in
seventy three is a Smith, one in seventy -six
Jones, one in one hundred and fifteen .
Williams, one in one hundred and seventy
four Brown. Among the list Of peculiar
names given we note the following: Afec.
tion, Alabaster, Allboncs, Awkward, Baby,
Bolster, Bowel, Brains, BY, (the shortest
English ra.ne,) Camomile, Corpse, Dagger.
Eighteen, Fowls, Fusscv, Gin, lIogsfesh,
Idle, Jelly. Kiss. Lumber, Middle, Nut.
brown, Officer, Pocket, Qnincc, Rabbit.
Sanctuary, Tombs, Unit, Vulgar, Waddle,
Yellow, and Zeal.
And we may add to this on American
record Of nomenclature, given in the nse-
MORALS Of William Shattuck, lately pub
lished at Boston: -
Simon Shattusk, Of Titchburg, named
three sons Shadrack, MeShach, aud Abed-
nego; Abel Shattuck, Of Colcraine, named
the male Of a pair Of twins Truman, and
the female Truly; this Truman Shat,uck
named girl Emslire Truly; Moses Shat.
tuck, of Brookline, named four sens, since
1900, Asia, Africa, Europe ard America.
Other odd names in the volume are Al,
Philiahasse, Seraph, Seyneda, Sarcpta, Ser.
ala and Thisby Alfalfa. ...-
Mr.. Shattuck in his remarks upon somo
of these names says: "Singularity of tasta
IS not peculiar to our family; We once had
indsr our instruction, in Detroit, a family
whose sons were named, One Stickney, Two
