A Chinese Wedding.

A MARRIAGE in high life" took place
the other day in Chinatown, to which the
upper ten of that locality were invited
Ah Tau, the groom, is an old resident of
San Francisco, but Sol Keou is a recent
Importation. All Tau has had two wives
who treated him badly--one deserted him
and the other squandered his money. His
last bride he purchased for $500, of her
venerable mother, who intends to return
to her native land and live in ease and
comfort all the rest of her days on the
proceeds of her fortunate traffic. Warned
by the infelicities of his former marriages
All Tau resolved this time to be bound by
a double knot, and accordingly the SER
vices of Justice of the Peace were called
into requisition After being united ,ac-
cording to the American law, the happy
pair proceeded to the joss House, on Du
pont street, and there, before the idols,
the Chinese marriage was celebrated. AT
ter burning a number of sacred sticks be-
fore the shrine, the groom offered the
bride meat, fruit and vegetables, to signify
that she was dependent on him for sup
port and that he bound himself to main
tain her. The guardian beasts who stand
in effigy by the shrine were then appeased
by presents of meat and this concluded
the ceremony. A wedding breakfast, con-
sisting of Chinese dishes and several cases
of champagne, followed, and the bride
presented the guests with small packages
of tea, done up in many colored papers
Music and firecrackers concluded the fes-
tiyities San Francisco Bulletin.

"A SHORT time since man cut down q
tree on the premises of Mr.. Augustus
Prudhon of this Township. In the hollow
of the tree was found a nest of young
squirrels. The squirrels, which had not
yet opened their eyes, were taken to the
house as a curiosity for the young folks.
A cat was on the premises at the time with
litter of kittens about the age of the
squirrels, and it was suggested that then
a good opportunity presented itself to
play practical joke on Madame Puss.
Three of the kittens were sent to that
bourne from which no luckless kitten re-
turns, and three OF the orphaned squirrels
were putt in their place. Strangely
enough the old cat did not seem to discov-
er the deception practiced upon her, but
took her foundlings and nursed and petted
them as fondly as if they were genuine
tellnes AS her adopted children grew in
stature and began to exhibit decidedly
squlrrel-like appearance, Madame Puss
thought she " smelt mice" about those
strange, wayward children of hers, but
Just where the point to the Joke was hid
of the laws of cat-dom was
found a precedent for such bushy-
tailed kittens, were mysteries which
tried in vain to initiate them into the mys-
teries of hunting but alas! the wayward
wards were all unmindful of that rarest of
all sports for happy kitten, catching a
mouse The little roguesswere as full of
mischief as kittens, but there the sem
blance ended. Great was the alarm of
Puss when her pets ran briskly up a tall
tree and leaped from branch to branch as
reckless of their precious necks as if their
poor old god-mother was not mewing them
earnestly TO come into the house and act
as good little kittens are wont to do. AS
the squirrels grew they became as familiar
in the house as kittens and afforded rare
sport to those who watched the evident
anxiety Of Madame Puss as she watched
the strange antics Of her adopted children.
Mr. Prudhon finally brought the squirrels
TO Nashua and they are now Gagged at the
billiard saloon, while their eventful his
tory Is being woven into this singular tale
