A New York Romance.

Some years since the daughter Of, a
fashionable family OH Fifth avenue,
New York who was only about fourteen
years of age, was woocd and won, in
childish fashion, by gentleman of sew
teen, and were clandcstinely married
in church. The parents learned Of it in
time to meet the two made one at the
church door. The groom was marched
off to school, and the bride locked up in
her room. She was subsequently taken
to Paris, where she was introduced into
society. OF course her wealth and beau
ty brought her many suitors. But she
repelled them all, and continued in
faithful correspondence with her hus-
band. Not long since she returned to
New York. The first person she
met on landing was her faithful lord.
He had grown manly and handsome,

Theodore Tilton in He'll

4uGOOOES 111tOu lu xVu
Theodore rilton has been looking in-
to New York by gas light, and dares not
tell all he saw. He says of what he did:
"In company with several well-known
public men, and under the guidance Of
the police, we made tour, last Saturday
night, through the nethermost haunts
of misery, vice and crime in the city of
New York. This is all exploration
which every man connected with public
,sffsiss, either by civil or by editorial du-
ty, ought, if possible to make, at least
once in his life. Born in New York,
and having always either resided or Ia
bored within it, we never saw or knew
our own city until last Saturday night.
Never until then had we any adequate
conception of it's poverty, of its squalid-
ness, of its villainy, of its debauchery, of
its leprosy! The story, even if we had
the heart to to tell it, must for decency's
sake remain untold. We can only say
that: none of the familiar descriptions
had adequately prepared us for the
actual scenes. We were shocked, con-
founded, sickened! And as we now look
back upon the awful revelation of that
one nights decent into hell, we can
hardly pursuade ourselves that what
we saw was a reality; it seems hideous
drean.s

Singular Fight Between an Eagle
and Fox.

Singular Fight Between an Eagle
and Fox.
A Strathmorc correspondent Of the
Ncwbern Ensign records singular en-
counter between an eagle and fox on
Benalskie hill. The eagle was devouring
the carcass of mountain hare, when a
fox sprang from bush of herther and
siezed the intruder (Which had come to
rob him of his prey) by the wing. A
well contested struggle ensued, in which
the bird made desperate attempt to de-
fend itself with its claws, and succeeded
in cxtricating itself from its enemy's
grasp, but before it had time to escape
Reynard siezed it again by the breast
and seemed more determined than ever.
The eagle made another att empt to over
power its antagonist by striking him
with its wings, but that would not COM
pei him to quit his hold. At length the
eagle tried to take wing, but Reynard
was not to be cheated In this manner. At
last the eagle succeeded in raising the
fox from terra srma, and in few min
utes he was suspended by his own jaws
between heaven and earth. He was
now placed in an unfavorable position
for fighting; buthis courage did not seem
to forsake him, rs he firmly kept his
hold, and seemed to make several at
tempts to bring the eagle down; but,
alas he soon found the strong wings Of
the eagle were capable Of raising him
above the clouds. There was now no
way Of escape unless the bird. would
alight somewhere. The eagle made Q
straight ascent and succeeded in rising
to q considerable height in the air. The
two combatants were still struggling,
and in few minutes q disengagement
appeared to have taken place. ReyN
nard, from some cause or other, was
obliged to quit his grasp, and be was
now decendiDg much quicker than he

Rules for Courting.

The following good advice on the
above subject is from the pen on John
Quill, who seems to have rather q bliss
full experience in regard to such matters:
/. Never go courting the girls par
ents. You'd better edge up to the
charmer herself at once; for you can't
marry her if you don't try, unless
she wants you, and you may be able to
even if the old folks are hard on you.
2. BY all means get the girls ma down
on you as much as possible. II the old
lady is always blowing against you, the
little dear begins to take your part, and
can't help loving you.
l did this way, and my present mother
in-law used to throw brooms and wash
boards at me, and teach the dog to bite
me in the trowsers as climbed over the
fence.
n. B.-She's got over it now, and lives
at my house without paying board. If
remorsc testers in her soul in conse-
qucnce of her conduct, however, / have
not noticed yet.
8. If you see any other fellows prowl-
ing about, always eucher them if you can.
If you see one of them buy tickets for
the opera, 60 right up and make an en-
gagement with the girl, and get your
tickets afterwards; and when they visit
the house always act as if you were at
home and they were only visitors, and
never leave first.

The Anamosa Lisard Case.

The Anamosa Lisard Case.
Our readers will remember the case of
Mn. Parkes Of Anamosa, supposed to
have . snake in her stomache, a full
statement concerning which has hereto
fore published:
On the 18th ult. Mrs. Parker died sud-
denly from congestion of the brain. On
Monday post mortem examination was
had - follows:
In the examination an incision was
made, commencing just below the chin,
and reaching the whole length Of the alb
domen, and all the internal organs were
exposed to view and subject to . thorough
examination. The mucous membrane
of the throat (the pharynx and larynx)
were found liberated their entire surface;
the heart Maa IN q lalthx condition.
Upon attempting TO remove the lungs
which in the healthy subject hang Loose
in the th0rax 80 they are easily removed
by scverihg their natural connections,
it was found that by disease they were
firmly attached to the walls Of the chest.
The left lung for its whole extent was a
diseased mass and had to he dissected
from all its surrounding organs with
care, to remove it entire. The lower
portion of the leftlung was entirely gone
and its place occupied by large absccss
which had formed adhesion to the ribs,
stomach and liver. On the inside ofthe
abscess small particles Of tubercural
deposits found through it. The right
lung was also congested and the same
tubercular concretions were found scat
tered through the upper portion and had
begun to soften and destroy the lung.
Then came the search for the monster
"Tcptile with four feet" "large head,
aud coated like the stomach so that the
acid of the liver would not dissolve it."
No one appeared afraid, as the monster
Twas dead" and many present to assist
if one ofus should be pounced upon.
With caution and carefulncss we car
ricd on our examination through the
large and small intcstines up to the
stomach, another detachment down the
throat to the other end of that organ;
then with bold rush the snakes hiding
place was cut open, and nothing of
skull or skim tracks, marks, or indica-
tions that showed that such an animal
had ever visited that much-sccludcd
spot; aud the fast believers of snake in
the stomach have come to the conclusion
that they never did really believe any.

BlTTERs VS.. LlQUORS.-At the May
term of the District Court in Webster
county, Judge ID. d. Chase, in his charge
to the Grand Jury, called that body's
attention to lotteries and gift distribu-
TONS" declaring such schemes gam
bling within the meaning Of the stat
utcs; and then passed to the subject of
the liquor law, thus:
another specific charge am roqnir-
ed to make you, gentlemen, is to bring
to your notice the statute prohibiting
the making or selling of intoxicating
liquors. The statute will be before you,
gentlemen, and l charge you that all
attempts to evade the plain meaning of
the statute by the modern devices Of
selling under the name Of "Swain's
Bitters," "Hostetter's Eitters," &C., in
quantities or SO frequently as to leave
no doubt that it is mere pretense to
evade or avoid the penalty of the law,
is such selling as is forbidden by the
law, and it is your duty to present all
such cases where the proof is sufficient
as in your judgment to warrant y Petit
Jury to find the accused guilty of such
practices"

DON'T BE ExTRAvAGANr.-If the
poor house has any tcrrors for you, never
buy what you don't need. Before you
pay three cents for a jewsharp, my boy,
ascertain whether you cannot make just
rs pleasant noise by whistleing, for
which nature furnishes the machinery.
And before you pay seventy-five dollars
for coat, young man, find out whether
your lady would not be just as glad to
see you in one that did not cost half the
money. If she would not, let her crack
her own hazel nuts and buy her own
clothes. When you sec q man spending
two or three dollars week foolishly,
the chances are five to one that he'll live
long enough to know how many cents
there are In IA dollar, and If he don't he's
pretty sure to bequcath that privilege
to bis widow When man asks you
to buy that for which you have no use,
no matter how cheap it is, don't say yes
until you arc sure some one else wants it
in adv@ncc. Money burns in some folks
pockets, aud makes such big hole that
everything that is put in drops through
past finding.

Tho Pickpocket Championship.

A grand match at picking pockets re-
Gently came Oft at the Great Exposition
in Paris, between seven English and
seven French pickpockets. The French
were, it appears, irritated at hearing tho
many complaints Of lost watches and
wallets, most of which they had not got
themselves, and accordingly they chal-
lenged the Englishmen to a test of light
fingered skill. The fourteen thieves
started OH their predatory expedition
through the Exhibition, and agreed to
meet at cofc i'm the boulcvards, or
rather at a restauratcur's, where they
had previously engaged cabinet partic-
utter, and had~ordered supper, to be
"stood" by the vanguished. They met
at the appointed hoSf, and you will be
proud of the Englishmen's superiority
when you learn that they triumphantly
displayed forty-iive watches and nine
portcmonnaies, whereas the French ty-
ros in the noble art could display but
ten watches, three portmonnaies and
half Il dozcu hahdkerchicts, small deer
which are disdained by the professed
pickpocket, and are only faxed during
a novitiate in the profession. They
lnagnanimously avowcd themselves van
quished, and agreed to recognize the
superiority of the victors in the form
most pleasing to them, by standing"
q liberal supply of champagne. The
Englishmcn imbibed SO heartily rs to
get Intoxicated, sleeping drunk, and the
French pickpockets, taking advantage
of their condition, eascd them of their
plumber and retired in triumph with the
forty-flve watches, the purses, etc, and
moreover left the walters instructions to
apply for payment Of the bill to the
gentleman up stairs on the floor.

How q Love-sick Youth was Cured.

HOW 3 LOve-Sa4k YO0Cn was CureO.
Mrs. Murray was pretty widow of
eighteen, left rich by her husband,
respectable and wealthy farmer Of
Smithvillc, in the county of Oakland,
who judiciously died at the age Of fifty.
Parks signing swain ofsixteen, fell in
love with this charming widow during
q school vacation, and was thereby dis
tracted from study and nearly frantic.
His uncle who designed him for the
ministry, had a peculiar b orror of the
sweet widow, whom he regarded as
little better than one of the wicked; her
black eyes, her heaving bosom and elas-
tic tread were to him only the symbols
of old Nick. He was in despair; and in
despair lie visited the widow, and be-
sought of her if she had particle of
mercy, to discountenanee the visits OF
his nephew. In vain the young widow
protested that she had no arts-had
only seen the youth a few times, and
was entirely Indifferent to him; the un-
Gle still insisted, and the pretty widow
promised that If the boy came again to
see her 1t should be his last visit. Not
many days passed before the enamored
youth made his arrangements for vis-
it, of which the widow had notice. The
previous interviews between them took
place under circumstances peculiarly
favorable to romance aud sentiment,
upon moonlight walks or parlor tete-a-
tetes. This time the timid youth was
told upon his arrival that Mrs. Murray
was at the barn; whittier he went and
found his beaux- ideal, with skirts knee
high, dressed in mems boots, and a
"stove-pipe" hat on her head, pipe in
her mouth, a mug of cider in her hand,
experimenting her men killing hogs.
He never came again.
