MARRIAGE BRoKERAeE.-Mar broker
age is business carried on to some extent
in all countries. We have report that
marriage broker in England, in reply to
letter from a young lady, said he had on his
list about fifty gentlemen of first-class posi-
tions, and with incomes from esO0 10 $4,000
a year, who are anxious to marry; so that
he can guarantee good marriage to any
lady. He adds: ~ will send some cartes
de visite for your inspection. Among my
clients are officers, clergymen, merchants.
and gentlemen of independence You may
depend on strict good faith" In apamphlet
which he sends to the lady, he describes his
system and its success. BE AYERS that during
the last eighteen years he has married up
wards of 5000 couples happily, who, had il
not been for him, would still be pining in
single misery. He points out that marriage
by negotiation is the rule in most foreign
countries, and in all royal families, and urges
that unions thus brought about are productive
of as much real happiness as those known
as love matches, which young people make
for themselves, in which the motive is un
usually a straight nose, smooth waltzing,
neat foot and ankle, an exorbitant chIgnon
or heavy mustache. This broker tells
very plausible story, but Of course any MAI
in any trade, no matter how disreputable
can color it so as to appear well to the public

AN INDIANS GRArITuDE.-Among our
friends in the Indian tribes of the West is
"Spotted Tail,n or Pegaleshka, the head
chief Of the Brule Sioux, man Of good ad-
dress, shrewd and intelligent His friend |
ship was brought about in the following |
manner, as is related by the correspondent
of the st. Louis Republican,: As.st
A little over year ago bis daughter, who
was very intelligent girl and much regard
ed by the whites, died at the early age of
seventeen from exposure and inability to
sustain the privation and exposure Of wild
Indian life. Before yielding up her breath
she begged her father to have her grave
made with the whites. Spotted Tail then
sent messenger to Fort Laramie with re-
quest to Colonel Maynandier, the command
ant Of the post, that he accord the corpse OF
his daughter a burial among the whites.
Colonel Maynadier replied that he would
be glad to have Pegaleshka bring his child
there, and that he would give him all the
assistance in his power. The corpse was
borne long way, and the funeral cortege
was met half way by the Colonel and his
OuCeIbt uobWCon tho Il OAl niAu bho AntsS'
The Colonel, who sympathized deeply in
the chiefs affliction, assured him that he felt
honored by his confidence in committing to
his care the remains of a child whom he
loved 30 much The chief was assured that
everything was prepared to have the funeral
at sunset, and when the sun went down it
might remind him Of the darkness left in
his lodge when his beloved daughter was
taken away. The afflicted chief was greatly
affected, and in short response, with a
bosom heaving with emotion, referred to the
beautiful day--the blue sky, without cloud,
with the wind calm and still. 1t suited, he
said, the errand he had come on, and re-
minded him that he had been offered peace.
Just before sunset the body was placed on
the scaftold, In the cemetery, in accordance
with the Indian mode of sepulture, and the
last rites performed in the presence of the
father and relatives. the commanding officer,
chaplain, the soldiers OF the garrison and
many Indians. Colonel NJ, in his account
of the burial, remarks that the chief would
never have confided the remains Of his chile
to the care Of any one but those with whom
he intended to be friends always.

A FRENCH SKETCH OF MARouEz.-Mar-
quez is small and slender; his looks are re-
pulsive; his complexion is sunburnt. He
walks with some difficulty, as he once sus-
tanned a fracture Of the hip by being run
over. He is coward, for in the camp of
La Soledad or La Pulga, where the writer
of these lines called upon him several times,
his tent was surrounded by guards, placed
there by Marquee, who was in constant
dread of the advent of the Juarists. Mar
quez is an excellent marksman. His cruelty
once afforded the writer an opportunity to
pass judgment upon his skill His men had
taken prisoner youth Of eighteen. Mar
quez decided at once that he should be shot
as traitor to his country, and granted HIM
one hours respite to prepare for death. The
curate of La Soledad visited the unfortunate.
Meantime Marquee selected ten men to act
as executioners. Shortly afterward tho pris-
oner appeared. The lieutenant commanding
the firing squad stood aside and shouted,
''Take aimr' AS he uttered these words, n
report was heard, and the prisoner fell dead.
None of the soldiers had fired, but Marquee,
who was sixty PAGES of, had drawn pistol
and carried out the sentence he himself had
passed. His soldiers removed the corpse.
Marquez's pistol bullet had entered the left
eye of the deceased wretch and lodged in
the braln.-LG Liberte.

A CURIOUS HIsToRIcAL FAcT.-A curious
Question was discussed at recent meeting
Of the British Royal Geographical Society.
Sir Henry Rawlinson expressed the opinion
that the sea of Aral-a body of water having
an area of 23, 900 square miles, OF three times
the size of Massachusetts-had no existence
iu the long period between 600 years before
Christ and GOO years after, and the rivers
Oxus and Jaxaries, now flowing into it, then
flowed into the Caspian sea. He said, "Th0
sea first comes into notice in the seventh
century, and these two rivers are spoken of
several hundred years as emptyiDg into il.
Another change seems 10 have occurred
between 1900 and 1900, and the rivers again
flowed into the Caspian sea; but since the
latter date they slowly changed their chan
nels until they found an outlet In the sea
Aral"
This theory was combatted by Sir Roderick
Murchison, the geologist, who affirmed that
the mere absence of allusion TO the sea oi
Aral was no proof of its nOn-existence, and
cited the geological evidence that whatever
changes the sea had undergone must have
occurred long before the birth of history OF
tradition. Sir Henry Rawlinson, in reply
said that evidence exists in the writings o
the 14th and 18th centuries that common
highway OF travel from Europe to ASH
: passed directly over the region now covere'
by the waters Of the Aral. His opponen
admitted that such evidence would be con
; elusive. Here the debate ended, with III
$ understanding that Sir Henry is to collec
L and publish proofs OF his assertion

A MODEST WIDow.-The following story
concerning an amiable and modest widow
lady who resides in Mason county, and in
which our old friend, Fred Weeden, the
sheriff, figured conspicuously, was told to us
few days since, and which we think is too
good TO be lost: 1t appears that soon after
the widows husband had paid the debt of
nature, leaving her his legatee, claim was
brought against the estate by his brother,
and process was served upon him by our
sheriff, who by the way happens to be a
widower of middle age. She was much
alarmed, and meeting with female friend,
she exclaimed with agitation. "What do
yeu think2 the sheriff has been after mel''-
"Well," said the considerate lady, with per-
feet GOODNESS, the is very fine man." "But
he says he has an attachment for me, replied
the widow. "well, have long suspected
that he was attached 10 you, my dear"
"But you don't understand; he says must
go to court" "Ohl that's quite another
affair, my child; don't you go so far as that
1T is his place to come and court you-"--

A Paris correspondent of the New York |
Times writesas follows:
Not long ago spoke of the lost secret for
petrifying human flesh, of the persevering
attempts made in Italy to re-discover it, and
of the discovery, while making these re-
searches, of another method of preserving
flesh, perhaps quite as valuable as the lost
one. At the Great Exposition, DR.. Brunetti,
of Padua, the finder of the new method, was
honored with gold medal, and with the
true spirit of man of science, he came for
ward the other evening at one of the meet
ings OF the International Medical Congress,
now in session at the School of Medicine of
! Paris, and divulged his secret. The great
amphitheatre of the school was crowded
with distinguished medical mon from all
parts of the world, and when the italian
saUaDt had concluded his speech he was re.
warded with an ovation which must have
been q full compensation for any losses he
may suffer from having his secret pass into
the public domain. The, following details
are sufficient to enable any anatomist to
avail himself of this important discovery.
The process of DR.. Burnett, which he
explained in French with method, and in
pure and elegant dichon, comprises several
operations, viz: 1. The washing Of the piece
to be preserved 2. the degrdsssd9e or eating
away of the fatty manner; 8, the tanning;
T. the desiccallon. ...-..- .....
4 1. To wash the piece M Burnett passes a
current of pure water through the blood-ves-
sells and various excretory canals, and then
he washes the water out by current of al
! cohol.
O. For destroying the fat he follows the
alcohol with ether, which he pushes, OF
; course, through the same hlood-vessels and
excretory ducts; this part of the operation
lasts some hours. The ether penetrates the
interstices of the flesh, and dissolves all The
fat. The piece, at this point of the process,
may be preserved any length Of time desir-
, ed, plunged in ether, before proceeding tc
the final operations.
8, For the tanning process M. Brunett
) dissolves tannin in boiling distilled water
and then, after washing the ether out of the
: vessels with distilled water, he throws this
solution In.
4. For the drying process Dr. Burnett
D places the pieces in u vase with double
bottom, filled with boiling water, and he fill
3 the places of the preceding liquids will
!. warm, dry air. By the aid of reservoir
IS in which air is compressed to about two
g atmospheres, and which communicates by
. stop.cock and system of tubes, first to
vase containing chloride of calcium, thel
with another heated, then with the vessel
and excretory ducts of the anatomical piec
q in course of preparation, he establishes
a gaseous current which expels iii very littl
m time all the fluids. The operation is nov
= finished
The piece remains supple, light, preserve
its size, its normal relations, its solid his
tological elements, for there are no longe
any funds in it. 1t may be handled withou
fear, and will last indefinitely. The dis
covery is magnificent one, and the soone
medical schools are provided with full cab
nets of natural and pathological pieces, til
o better.
