SHASTA COURIER.
Woman Marries Woman.

A person was brought before the Police
Court at Syracuse the other day on a charge
of wearing male apparel while being fe-
male, of making love to the Syracuse bellies
on false pretences," and marrying a
woman, etc. There is no doubt of her fem
ininity, though her counterfeit of a man Is
said to have been perfect. She is English,

went under the name of Alfred Clark, and
received remittance from England, part OF
which goes to the support of sister IN
Syracuse. Ia reply to the question. " Are
you male or female p she answered,
g Your officers can tell you" She refused
to give any more direct answer to the inquiry
in relation to her sex, and was committed
for further examination.
A few weeks since she assumed the garb
of man, and made the acquaintance OF
young lady named Miss Lewis. Alter
brief courtship they were married, and the
parties have since resided together as man
and wife, The marriage ceremony was per-
formed about three weeks since, and the
brides father thinking wrong about his new
son-in-law, obtained Il private interview and
informed her Of his suspicious, that she was
not what she pretended to be. AT first she
claimed that she was a man, but on closer
questioning, finally admitted that she was
female She has marked features, high
cheek bones, prominent nose, black hair,
worn long for a man, and curling at the end
and apparently brushed and oiled with care.
She wore glazed cap, blue coat, blue shirt,

and shawl over her shoulders speaks with
considerable confidence, but is not very com.
municative.
1t is understood that when this eccentric
woman first came to the house of the brides
father she was dressed in female apparel,
aud her clothing was changed to mans attire
with the knowledge of the family. The
probability is that the family supposed her
woman's dress was disguise, and that she

but the bride still clings to her woman hus.

Iys1ScERITY OF SOCIAL LIFE.-Who is the
prophet that shall uncover the abysses of our
acted lives, and our adequate shame on our
mutual imposition? Smiles on our faces,
with envy and iealously underneath cor
diality in our grasp, with no connecting nerve
between the fingers ahd the heart Difference
in our professions, with no suitable esteem,
no genuine respect, no sacred sincerity in
vitations issued, with fraud lurking in their
politeness, getting the company together by
one falsehood; greetings of indiscriminate
and extravagant welcome receiving them
with another; fashions made up of composite
illusions, ornamenting them with another
ceremony of elaborate make believe: sus
sustaining their mock dignity with another
who will dare TO affirm that those do not
enter appallingly into the staple of what we
call civilized and elegant life? When is this
rugged truth speaking, Christian time com
ing, which will tear open and rend those
guilty illusions, plant the communion of soul
on some pure and just foundation, and
restore the social world to its primitive and
upright mplicity ?-Dr. Huntington.

EXPANDING THE LUNGs.-Get into the
purest air you can find, stand perfectly erect,
with the head and shoulders back, and then
fixing the lips as though you were going to
whistle, and draw the air through your
nostrils into the lungs. When the chest is
full raise the arms, keeping them extended,
with the palms of the hands down, as you
suck in the air, SO as to bring them over the
head just as the lungs are quite full. Then
drop the thumbs inward, and after gently
forcing the arms backward, reverse the pro
cess by which ycu draw you breath, till your
lungs are entirely empty. This process
should be repeated three or four times during
the day. 1t is impossible to describe to one
who has never tried it the glorious sense Of
vigor which follows the exercise. 1t is the
best expectorant in the world. We know a
gentleman the measure of whose chest has
been increased some three inches in many
months
