A You've GIRL PURsUEs HER SEDUcER
AND CoMPELs HIM TO MARRY HKR.-The
St. Louis Democrat says: "There was
wedding last night at the police Office,
in the private room of the Chief. JUS
tice Jecko tied the knot, and tied it hard.
The bridegroom was gnod.looking gay
deceiver,s who had ruined beautiful
young lady in an Eastern town, under
promise of marriage After committing
the shameful act, he left aerinthe lurch,
and packing mp his wardrobe, came TO
st. Louis. The young lady did not
grieve herself to death, swallow poison,
or, like Ophelia, make 8 water-liIy of
herself and spring into q brook from the
trunk Of starting willow She had
been promised a husband, and that pre-
cious article is becoming too scarce TO DO
allowed to break away after being par
TALLY secured at heavy sacrifice. Be-
sides, the fellow might ruin more girls if
suffered 10 run at large without wife 70
look after him. The young lady, there
fore, started post-hass in pursuit OF the
fugitive, traced him to St. Louis, and,
with the aid Of the police, succeeded in
placing him securely in q, cell in the
calaboose She then commenced nego-
tiations with him, brought him TO repen-
lance, and he promised TO right her in
juries if let so. She trusted him second
time, but took the precaution to have
the nuptial knot tied before be had q
chance to run away again. She is now
airs; and if her husband chooses
20 leave her, she secured his name,
winch covers her dishonor and makes
neE an honest wife. It would hardly be
rignt 70 give the names of the parties, as
saeir children may not wish to know all
the circumstances preceding and con-
tributiug to their birth"

HORSE RAcEs.-The races at Saratoga
have excited more attention this year
than ever before, and the attendance has
been uncommonly large Ii. view Of the
efforts made to popnlarize this sport and
elevate its character TO the position
which it occupies in England, the follow
ing anecdote is related:
IL is recorded Of Lord Clifford, one Of
the 6rst of TIE English Catholic peers
who returned TO their seats In Parlia-
ment' upon the passage of the bill
emancipating their faith, that his opens
ing motion, made in the House of Lords,
for the consideration of certain meas
ure on Il certain day was met by q loud
cry OF Oaks OaksF The perplexed
nobleman looked about him In hopeless
kind of way till a friendly voics near by
whispered, The House never sets on
that day Much relieved, Lord Clifford
recovered himself and named another
day for his notion. Instantly, as before,
rang out the protest, Derbyi Derbyr'
Utterly COMPOUNDED and bewildered, the
inexperienced hereditary legislator fell
to excusing himself: g NV lords" he
exclaimed, / am extremely sorry, bat
my education has been so wholly carried
on in a foreign land, that, with grief /
confess it, am painfully ignorant of
the Saints days of the English church.

ADvER71s1Se.-To properly arprc-
ciate the value Of advertising over other
methods Of making ones business known
to the community, We have only to in
stance the many large fortunes that
have been derived from a systematic
course Of advertising. Benjamin Bran
dreth, who is now worth half million
Of dollars, attributes this success to ad-
vertising, which began with small no.
ticcs in the press. Doctor Townsend,
and many others, are living examples.
Shortly after the war began, Mr.. Bar
mum concluded that his expenses must
be curtailed, and accordingly gave Or
ders to one Of his agents that his ad-
vertisements must be- cut down one
ssaif. This was accordingly done. A
few weeks later, the "great Snowman"
discovered that his daily receipts were
growing "smal'er BY degrees and beau
tifuIly less" He doubled his attrac.
tions, but still the receipts were not in.
creased. The matter became serious,
and troubled Mr.. Barnum 80 much that
it disturbed his slumbers. He gave
orders to double the size of his adver-
tisemeats. 1t was done, and the re-
suit, as related by Barnum himself. was
an increase Of one hundred and fifty
dollars week in his receipts the first
week, and two hundred and fifty dollars
per week subsequently. Since then he
has never attempted to economlze by
reducing the amount paid for his ad-
vertisements- Chicago Gazete.

The upper valleys Of the Mississippi

the chief supply Of wood for the prairie

The prairies and forests abound IN a
