A Young Man Rugged Against His VIII

A ludlcrous scene transpired in a place
not thousand miles from Louisville. one
night last week, which, though little annoy.
ing to the parties Immediately concerned,
was yet so innocent and funny that we can.
not refrain from giving the general outlines,
suppressing names, of course:
Two sprightly and beautiful young ladies
were visiting their cousin, another sprightlv
and beautiful young lady, who, like her
guests, was OF that happy age which turns
everything into fun and merriment. If the
truth were told, we fear we should have to re.
cord that these three misses were just little
fast. They were fond of practical jokes, and
were continually playing all sorts of pranks
with each other. All three occupied room
ON the ground floor cuddled up together in
one bed.
Two of the young ladies attended party
on the night in question, and did not get
home until half-past twelve O'Clock at night.
As it was late they concluded not to disturb
the household, SO they quietly stepped into
their room through the low open window.
In about half an hour after they left for
the party, young Methodist minister cali
ed at the house where they were staying and
craved a night lodging, which, of course,
was cheerfully granted. AS ministers al.
ways have theibest of everything, the old lady
put him IN the best room to sleep, and the
young lady (Fannie) who had not gone to
the party was entrusted with the duty of sit.
ting up for the absent ones, and of informing
them of the change of rooms. She took up
her post in the parlor, and as the night was
sultry, sleep overcame her, and she departed
on an excursion to the land of dreams.
We will now return to the young ladies
who had gone into their rooms through the
window. By the dim light of the moon
beams as they struggled through the curtains,
the young ladies were enabled to descry the
whole outline of Fannie las they supposedly J
ensconced in the middle of the bed. They
saw more to wit pair of boots. The truth
flashed upon them at once. They saw it all.
Fannie had set the boots in the room to give
them a good scare. They put their heads
together and determined to turn the tables
on her. Silently they disrobed, and as
stealtby as cats they took their position on
each side of the bed AT given signal they
both jumped into bed, one on each side of
the unconscious parson, laughing and scream
ing, "Oh, what man Oh, what man p'
and they gave the poor bewildered minister
such promiscuous hugging and tousing as
few persons are able to brag of in the course
of lifetime.
The noise of this preceding awoke the old
lady. who was sleeping in the adjoining
room. She comprehended the situation in
moment, and rushing to the room, she
opened the door and exclaimed "Oh, Lordy,
gals. it is man, it is man sure enough ~
There was one prolonged, consolidated
scream ; flash of muslin through the door,
and all was over
The best of the joke is that the minister
took the whole thing in earnest. He would
listen to no apologies the old lady could
make for the girls. He would hear no ex-
cuse, but solemnly folded his clerical robes
around him, and silently stole away.

A Big RAsCAL-The Boston Herald saws :
The good people of Middlefeld and adjacent
vicinity in Connecticut are quite scandalized
by the exposure of a man by the name of
Green, who had been preaching there as a
Methodist, and at Berlin as Congregation
alist previously. He passed by the name
there as Cullison. His former history is
thus summed up, commencing twenty years
back. He went to Cincinnati from Western
New York, leaving wife and three children
there; he married again wife No. 2, and had
three children. Leaving Cincinnati, he
went up to Philadelphia in 1852, went into
a swindling operation, was arrested convic-
ted and sent to the penitentiary for fifteen
months and served his time out. In the
meantime wife No. had got divorce, and
after while he married her again. From
Philadelphia he went to New York city,
where he went into several swindling opera
tions upon merchants, was arrested, tried,
CONVICTED, and sent to Sing Sing for five
years; but after serving six months was par
doned out In 1861 or '62 he went back to
Cincinnati and married wife No. 8, took her
to Baltimore, got appointed an army chap
money from soldiers letters, was arrested
duu Scub W w d>hiuStoH Oity ptHiteHtidTN ,
got out soon after, got some costly furs on
false pretense, and 500 from President Lin
coin on the pretense that be could negotiate
treaty with JEFF Davis, absconded, went to
Chicago. published his authority, as it was
called, for negotiating treaty, was imme-
Giately arrested, but made his escape, and
was not again heard of until he turned up in
Connecticut. A short time ago the parson-
age in Middlefeld, where he lived, was mys
teriously burned. He claimed to have lost
everything, but suspicion was aroused GER
tain trunks were found in the basement Of
the church. then they were missing; he rar
away, was followed, the trunks found and
opened, and contained property he claimed
had been burned.
The swindler is man over fifty years old
has four wives living, and is divorced from
only one; is tall and thin, quick in motion
fluent in speech, has black hair and eyes
breaches fine sermon-but no doubt steals
them from sermons of English divines, Of
which he had number of volumes in hi,
trunk. When living sin Middleton he tool
improper liberties with girl twelve years O.
age, who lived with him, going into her room
after she was asleep, and there are othel
serious charges against him of similar char
acter. He and his wife have quarreled lik.
cats and dogs, and never more SO than or
Sundays. He owes large amounts in Mid

NUMBER %.
The Sultan In Europe.

An Athenian paper thus comments upon
the great expectations of the European press
from the Sultan's visit to Europe:
How absurd Europeans arel They quite
forget that many of those who are now at the
head of affairs in Turkey have not only Wis.
tied Paris, Vienna, London and Berlin, but
renamed there for years, as ambassadors or
as agents.
The Sultan, on visiting Paris and noticing
what there is to be seen there, will think
his own empire better than France, and
himself greater than the Emperor. The
palace of the Tuileries, both as regards its
exterior splendor and interior decorations,
es--4.oi De compared to the palaces of Con.
stantinople. The garden of the Tuileries is
microscopic compared to the gardens of the
Sultan and then with respect to natural
beauty, what is Paris after the magical site
of the Bosphorus? The Sultan will see the
Emperor in the Tuileries, surrounded by
Marshals, Generals, Abide Camps, atten.
dants, etc., showing him every mark of re-
spect, but not saluting him as god, as peo.
| pie do IN the palaces of Constantinople-
| The Sultan will see women in the official
entertainments and in the streets, and COM
parlng these with the beauties of his harem,
|
Exhibition he will be perplexed at the mad.
ness of the Franks in making so much noise
about selling their goods When he enters
the theatres of Paris, and compares them
with the theater in his own palace, on which
ne has spent so many thousands, and which
IS really perfect jewel, what will be his
idea of the grandeur of France? IF he is
taken to museums, picture galleries. etc.,
and he is told that some pictures cost two or
three francs, he will think that the Franks
are fit only for mad house. An Ottoman,
one OF the greatest men in Constantinople,
having assembled the Acropolis, and being
shown the columns of the Parthenon. ex.
claimed: Il" Are those what you admire so
much ?" pointing to the columns. "Come
to Constantinople and see our mosques with
their columns, not old and broken like these,
but new and covered with gold" This is
what the Sultan will say on seeing the
Museum of the Louvre and the Museum in
London. If by chance he is persuaded to
visit the courts of law, and sees the Judge
and counselors with their gowns and wigs,
he will certainly say to those who are with
him that the Franks have brought him to see
their kangaroos.
The things which will readily make an
impression on the Sultan are the following:
l. A great military review, if one be
given.
2. The Chassepot rifles, if he is shown the
make and working of them.
3. The ballet, the sight of which will Ger.
tainly please him.
With these exceptions, we may be sure
that the Sultan, after his return to Constan-
tinople, will despise the Europeans and their
civilization even more than before his visit to
Paris and London

WAsN'T PARTICULAR ABOUT HAVING A
TRIAL.-Judge Brady, of the Court of Com.
mon Pleas ofNew York city, relates in Har-
per's Magazine the following anecdote
An Irishman. who had doubtless been
blue mouldin' for want of batin'," and
could not resist the temptation to have q
little exercise, was arraigned for an assault
and battery. He listened with apparent
attention to the reading of the Indictment
When that cermony was ended Mr.. Wander
WORT, the clerk, asked him, in accordance
to the form then in use:
''Do you demand a trial on this in1ict-
ment?"
Pat, leaning forward in seeming utter
ignorance of what had been asked him,
said:
"What's that?"
Mr.. Vandervoort, little dashed by the man
ner of the man, repeated the question, and
the response was:
1.-THE divil thrial / wantl Ye needn't
give yourself the thrnuble of thryin' me Ye
may as well save the expense of that and put
me down innocentl Contint am | to lave
this wild me blessin' on vel Indade I'm
anxious for me boss is watn' for me beyant |
Oh no, no; the divil thrial | want at all,
at all ~
All this was said so rapidly that Mr.. Van
dervoort could not interpose to stop it; and
the prisoner having, as he supposed, settled
the business, attempted to leave the Court,
bet was of course prevented. Mr.. Wander
WORT, when the mirth had subsided, changed
the question and asked:
6 Are you guilty or not guilty?'
What's that? said he again, leaning
forward with his hand to his ear as if he had
not heard the question.
Are you guilty or not guilty ?"
The answer came at once: Arrah how
the divil can tell till hear the evidence"
He was permitted to hear just the least
taste of testimony that eventuated IN his
being sent to quod for one calender month.

EXECUTION OF GENERAL VIDAURRI.-Tbe
lines opened, and the coach being driven
within, General Vidaurri stepped firmly
forth dressed in black, and with his ewes
blndfolded. He was taken by the arm by
one of the soldiers and conducted to a spot
within few feet of the wall of the cony ent,
his back to the guard and people, and
directed to kneel. The soldiers were drawn
up behind him, the muzzles of their pieces
within three feet of his back The sergeant
of the guard silently raised his sword the
muzzles were levelled another slight mo
ton OF the officers weapon, and the clang Of
SIX shots rang over the still scene, and the
form before them fell forward a lifeless
bleeding mass. As if determined to add
still further indignity to the being who was
now stifening in death, soldier stepped
forward and placing his rifle to his head
blew 1t to an unsightly mass. The house
tops were densely crowded, while the streets
were choked for blocks by the thousands who
had gathered to witness the slaughter.
The body was permitted to remain as II
fell until all the troops filed past and viewed
the remains of the @ old traitor" the bands
playing polka, and many of the spectators
laughing and gaily chatting.
A rumor was circulated that Mr.. james
Wright, in whose house General Vidaurrl
took refuge, had betrayed him for the pur-
pose of obtaining the reward offered tor ms
apprehension but at a meeting of the
Americans of the city held last evening
our fellow countryman was fully exonerated'
the whole thing proving to have been a
falsehood by the evidence of General Diaz
and others, and his action in the matter COM
mended as that of high-minded, KIND
hearted and Christian man. Immediately
after the adjournment of the meeting ne was
arrested, and is now in prison tor having
tried to save General Vidaurrrs life.

ANYTHING BUT DIE FOR HER

l heard a moon-struck chap the other day, write
daddy Doyle, remark that he loved a certain youn
idy well enough to die for her. Now l love some
ody very much, and
I'd swear for her
I'd tear for her
The Lord knows what I'd bear for her;
I'd lie for her
I'd sigh for her
I'd drink the Hudson dry for her;
I'd pray for her
I'd slay for her
I'd watch the house all day for her
I'd " cuss" for her
I'd "wuss" for her
I'd always have a buss for her;
I'd leap for her
I'd weep for her
I'd go without my sleep for her;
I'd fight for her
I'd bite for her
I'd walk the streets all night for her;
I'd plead for her
I'd bleed for her
I'd go without my feed for her;
I'd shoot for her
I'd boot for her
I'd rival who'd come to I" toot" for her;
I'd kneel for her
I'd steal for her
Such is the love I'd feel for her;
I'd slide fer her
I'd ride for her
I'd swim 'gainst wind and tide for her;
I'd try for her
I'd cry for her
But hang me if I'd die for her:
n. B.-0r any other woman.

STAMPING LErTERs.-A South Carolina
paper saws: On old negro woman, on Tues
day last, gave letter to the mail agent on
the Carolina train, at station near Branch
Vile. and asked him to send it for her. The
agent said the letters must be stamped. The
old woman became indignant, said the dar.
KEYS were free, and Wbar de use OF freein'
ke culled pussons eff you don't free de letters,
too ?u and finally yelled out, " How many
stamps he want, eh?'' The mail agent said
:" three !" Down went the letter and down
went the old woman's heel. 4" Oar Oar !
Darl Oars three stamps; dat enuf, eh p
She was in angry earnest, and the bystand-
ers we're amused accordingly. The agent
SOW the joke, volunteered to pay the money
stamp, and thus doubly stamped, the letter
was sent to its destination.

Cool Conduct of a Husband.

The train from the West on recent after
noon brought to this city q Chicago gentle.
man and his wife. They stopped at one of
our hotels, and the next morning after their
arrival the gentleman announcing some
business in the country, intimated his inten-
tion of proceeding to transact it, and asked
his wife to accompany him. But this Madam
declined to do, pleading as an excuse a
severe headache. Procuring a horse and
buggy, the gentleman started for the coun.
try, desiring to see a man who resides about
eight miles from the city, and intending to
be absent most of the day.
Soon after the departure of her lord
Madam so far recovered herself as to be able
to write note and dispatch it to a certain
gentleman in this city, who is somewhat
notorious for his gallantries. We suppress
names for obvious reasons. The recipient
soon found time to call on the fair writer at
her room. But now comes the startling
donouement.
The husband of the invalid at the hotel.
soon after leaving the city, met the gentle
man he was in search of, thus precluding the
necessity of going the whole distance to his
house, and came back some hours sooner
than he was expected. He went Immediate
ly to his room, being naturally anxious after
his wife's health. The door was locked and
the only effect of his knock was somewhat
irregular and suspicious commotion in the
interior of the apartment. In low tone,
but one that admitted of no misunderstand-
ing, he demanded that the door be opened.
Madam, attired in snowy robe de mutt, as
he had left her, opened the door, and the
husband entered. At the first glance there
was no sign of any other inmates of the
Rnt tho b,e L
deceived by appearances, and soon from
under the bed he fished pair of boots, GER
tainly not his. With no signs of anger he
inquired of Madam from whence they came.
Of course, she did not know, they must have
been left there by some former occupant of
the apartment. Now gentlemen are not
accustomed to leave good boots in their
vacated apartments, and this our Chicago
husband knew. A wardrobe caught his eye,
and opening the door he discovered-the
owner of the boots, our fellow citizen, who,
besides being minus his boots, was en- dis.
habitle in several other important particu-
lars.
Under such trying circumstances many
men would have lost their temper, and
little scene in which pistols play promi-
nent part might have ensued But long
residence amid the chrstianizing influences
of Chicago had rendered this injured
husband superior to such ebulitions of anger.
=" Dress yourself, SIR" said he to the gentle
man in the wardrobe, and we'll go and
take drink. Probably under the same
circumstances l should have acted as you
have. Mary Ito his wife), pack your trunk,
and be ready to leave on the next train for
the west. Go home to your parents 1
never wish to zee Won apain -
So said, SO done. He carried out the
programme to the letter. Many men are
incapable of such superlative self-control.-

The Terra Haute Journal says that a
woman living near Center Point, Clay
county, Indiana, went to creek near her
house to do the family washing, taking with
her three small children. The two elder
while playing about the woods, were bitten
by venomous snake, and their screams at
tracing. the attention of the mother she
hastened to their relief, thoughtlessly leav-
ing the smallest child, which during her
absence fell into the creek and was drowned.
The other children died the same night from
the effect Of the snake bite.

Col. THOMAS w. KNOX, of the New York
Herald staff, has recently returned to his
home by way of Northern Asia, visiting
Mongolia and Kamschatka, and crossing the
whole Of Russia from Behring's Sea to the
Polish frontier. He travelled 1000 miles on
the Amoor river, 1,500 by wheeled vehicles,
and $500 in sleighs. He is the first person
of any notability who ever travelled around
the world and included northeastern Siberia
