Married by Mlstake...N1innesOta

In the semi-rural district of Winona for
ty miles north Of La Crosse, on the Mime
sofa side of the Mississippi River, lives,
among several other people, jolly good
fellow Of justice Of the peace, whose ideas
Of matters are much like the current of a
deep river. Once started in deep river, it
is hard to turn them. One fair day. after
the 10 by IL law dispensary had been swept
after the chairs had been set in a short
row against the side Of the Office, and sum
dry whipped guilds Of tobacco and mutila-
ted cigar stubs had been kicked under the
stove. there was q wooden step on the
stairs, and vigorous knock at the door.
"Come in said the justice, as he settled
into legal look SO BETTING 2 man Of law
duly elected to dispense the favors Of the
blind goddess.
"A stout woman entered; she had on q
short wooden dress, wooden-soled shoes,

During the fall season Of Mr.. Maguire's
Dramatic Troupe at his new Opera House
in Virginia City, the Territorial Enterprise
has INDUCED its readers with an extraordi-
nary succession Of humorous, pungent and
peculiar c,'itiques. The player OF folks pre-
scented "Ingomar the Barbarian" and
"Mark Twain did the piece after this fun
ny fashion:
ACT. Mrs. Claughty appears in the
custume of healthy Greek matrOn (frOm

from being sold out by the sheriff-the old
man being in debt for assessments.

chief and only, blacksmith in his native
villag e), tear him from his humble cot,
and carry him away to Reese river
they hold him as a slave. 1t will cost
thirty ounces Of silver to get him out OF
soak.
Scene 4.-Dusty times in the Myron fam
ily. Their house is mOrtgaged-they are
without dividends-they cannot ''stand the
raise"
Parthenia, in this extremity, applies to
Polydor. He sneeringly advises her to
shove out after her exile parent herself
She shoves!
ACT. Camp of the Comanches. In
the foreground several of the tribe throw

while old Myron returns home and bor-

1t was pleasant to note the varieties OF
dress displayed in the costumes of lingo
mar and his comrades. 1t was also pleas
ant to observe that in those ancient times
the better class of citizens were able to
dress in ornamental carriage robes, and
even the rank and file INDUCED in Benkert

not to have been blackened for several
days.

he turned to the man and said:

The man shook his head and r1uttered
unintelligible words.
"Ah! see. Can't talk English ?" Well,
never mind"
He ran into the street, invited . few Of
his friends up stairs, and on returning with
them said to the woman:

man and woman lying on the floor, hug
ging each other like young bruins, their
arms and legs mixed up worse than toma-

The newly married couple were separa-
ted, when, through the aid of two interpre-
tiers, il was discovered that the night before,
the parties occupying adjoining shanties
in the lower part Of the town, had got into
quarrel over a stovepipe, which was
claimed by both, and from words they had
come to blows. Each party had fastened
to the Justices office in the morning for
warrant for the other, with the result as
stated as above. The last news from there
was, that the parties had gone in search Of
another Justice to unmarry them, while
the genial cause of their terrible squabble
was "setting up the boy ard bathing his
bunged eye with whisky. For an actual
fact, it is the richest within our knowledge.

A THIRD TRACK ON THE GREAT WEST
ERN RAILWAY OF CANADA, The R0ches-
ter Union says: "It may bestated on good
authority that the Great Western Railway
Company have already purchased the iron
for third rail to be laid from Suspension
guage like the New York Central and
Michigan Central. The design is to put
this rail down the coming season, and
then run freight cars from Chicago to New
York without unloading. The cars will
be ferried across the river at Detroit-a
practice that is getting to be quite common
where ferries connect roads. The great
liz es south of the Lakes are moving TO
make such connections as will enable
them to run freight through without tram
shipment, and the Great Western ana
Michigan Central are compelled to 40
something of the same sort to keep up the
race.''

IMMENSE FEES TO LAWYERS Gnnle of
our eminent limbs Of the law are tnbbing
immense fees nowadays; the income of the
most favored advocates being allnn,e tabu-
lous in amount. Twenty-Five thousand
dollars year used TO be considered well
worth any lawyers while, and the hope of
enjoying even 1.-THE Of that sum has
made MANY an humble bar-tender's mouth
water. But in these troublous and liti-
gous times the big wig lawyers look upon
twenty-five, thirty, or even forty thousand
dollars as no great affair Of an income, and
retainers Of one, two and three thousand
dollars drop into their hands with as little
concern on their parts as One-tenth the
sum was wont to inspire ten or a dozen
years agoae. TO prove that political prom
inence pays, ! may instance the case Of
leading Democratic lawyer who last year
received one hundred and twenty-five
thousand dollars for conducting two suits,
and also the case Of the most notorious ofOur
radical Republican attorneys, whose fee for
u certain celebrated mining cOmpanv's law
suit was one hundred thousand dollars
worth of the Company's stock-the which
he "realized on' at sixty-five cents on the
dollar. Just think Of sixty-five thousand
dollars as single counsel fee! l ought to
add that most of the prominent lawyers of
comes ranging from thirty thousand to
seventy thousand dollars a year. Talk
about the uncertainties OF law! Surely,
the only doubtful or uncertain thing about
it-sO far as lawyers are concerned-is
whether they couldn't get more, if they had
the cheek to ask it! Their motto would
seem to be borrowed from SCOTS Mar

A SIGNIFICANT HINT.-A soldier con-
nected with Gen. Grants army writes that
at one time the Federal and rebel pickets
used to communicate with each other and
relate all the stirring camp rumors; but
orders came at last for no more talking,
much to the disgust of the rebels so one
morning the latter shouted out:
"Say, Yanks, if you can't talk, jist write
us sOmethin' and chuck it over"
One of our men made q motion of assent,
and after writing a line or two, put the pa
per under the blade Of jack knife and
threw it across the river. Imagine the dis
gust of the Confederate when he read:
"Keep this knife, for it is like the South
ern Confederacy-its back is broken"
The fellow didn't recover his temper un-
til he was relieved.
sSay, Mr.. Clerk, have you good strong
porter about the hotel p
Eyes, sir, we have the strongest one in
the State"
'Is he intelligent for porterf do you
consider him fearless-that is, bold, cour-
ageous?
II know he is; he wouldn't be afraid OF
Satan himself"
"Now, Mr.. Clerk, if your porter is intel
ligent enough to find room No. 1O7, fearless
enough to enter, and strong enough to res
cue my trunk from the bed bugs, ! would

was good deal of genuine charity, and q
good deal of idle curiosity as well. Peo-
pie seemed to feel that there was some
thing so good and evangelical in walking

ly to the sufferers. 1t was form Of phi
