a vExATIous DISAPPOINTMENT.


Mark Twain says that while at Naples he
s'poked around and examined hundred
points of interest with critical imbecility.
The Grotto of the Dog, however, claimed
his chief attention, and his visit to 1t Is des-
cribed in the following languages
Everybody has written about the 'Grotto
del Cane and its poisonous vapors, from
Pliny down to Smith, and every tourist has
held dog over its floor by the legs, to test
the capabilities of the place The dog dies
in minute and hall-a chicken instantly.

A HAsTY MARRIAeE.-Improbab as ii
may seem to some, says the Lewistown
(Pa.) Democrat, the statement we are about
to make is absolutely true. The incident
occurred in Juniata County, only few
weeks ago. A rather good looking stranger
came to the neighhorhocd, peddlng specta
Giles. Arriving at the house Of MIR. -
(smith we shall call him for shorD-he ex-
hibited his stock to the old lady, She tried
several, and finally one suited her exactly,
but she had mo money to buy with" Ped
dler pressed her to buy. She reiterated the
fact that she had no money, bnt joklngly
remarked "Iill trade one of my daughters
for pair of spectacles." Upon this the
eldest of the two girls spoke up-"You
needn't trade me, mother, for l won't have
him. Thereupon the peddler turned TO the
Younger and said, swell, will you have
me?n The answer was promptly "YesP'
accordingly the spectaces were handed over
and arrangements at once made for the wed
ding, That night the happy pair (who ha'
never seen each other before that day. wer'
united in the holy bonds of matrimony BY
ESQUIRE L. A short honeymoon of tire
days passed pleasantly enough, the peddle
going out on trading expedition and re
turning faithfully in the evening. All seem

G tleman. One or two nights he absente
himself, but made satisfactory cxplanatio

VALENTINES DAY.-To-day, being the
fourteenth of February, is known as st.
Valentines Day. 1t will be observed
by many as "Cupid's Anniversary" and
clerks in post-ofices will be kept busy
handling ''missives" and "tokens."
There are a world of happy imaginings
connected with this anniversary, and
an hundred pleasing customs have from
time immemOrial been celebrated upon
this occasion. 1t is n time .honored GUS
tom on this occasion to dispatch those
dainty missives to your loves, known
from the name of the patron saint, as
Valentines. Formerly, the youthful
wight, watching for a%convenient oppor-
tunity, slyly opened thedoor Of his ladye
loves abode, threw therein the valentine
attached to an orange or an apple; q loud
rap at the door was then given, and
taking to his heels, the offender instant
ly departed. Those in the house gen.
orally knowing for what purpose the
announcing rap was made, then COM
menced a search for the juvenile billet
dour; in this manner many were dis
posed of by each youth. BY way of
teasing the person who opened the door,
q white oblong square, the size of a let
ter, was usually chalked on the door,
and should an attempt be made to pick
it up, great amusement was thus afford
ed to some of the urchins who we're gen.
orally watching.
