UnhreIlas in the Perfect City.

A funny thing happened as we left the
nIav. A sudden April shower had
Sprung up, and so we found the porches
and passage ways lined with close stack

in an armOry. Every gentleman took
one, and those Of the ladies who needed.
Angelides handed one to me. 1t seems
that the city owns and provides the UNI

mine in the hall, and that was the last 1

then leave it anywhere 1 choose The
agent for the district will pick II up, and
place it in the umbrella stand for the

this tonight, il is, of course, their busi-
ness to supply churches or theaters.

about umbrellas. A man in front Of me

A Sensible Girl Who Meant Business.

Twenty years ago man who had paid
attention to a bright sweet girl for long
time, without making anything that was
even a second cousin to a proposal, was
startled by question: Robert; do you
want to marry me?" He tried to evade
the point by asking why she put the
question to him. because, if yOu don't
want to marry me, You had best stop
coming to see ME. No mOcking bird
around the red breasts nest you know"
Robert took the hint, and, with cool
good night, walked home, What should
he care for girl so rude as that2 Good
company as hers elsewhere. He would
Join the club next day. He tried to
sleep, bat couldn't. He didn't quite like
the turn things had taken. The figure
plagued him. If he was the mocking
bird, who was the red breast that he was
keeping from such a partnerf AT any
rate, one thing is certain, Edna is as
smart as she is pretty" he said to him.
self, ''she means business" The next
morning Robert went to the counting
room, when presently Joe Mason came
in and said: ~ tell you what it is, Bob,
you were lucky in keeping out of the
club; L have just paid another assess
ment of fifty dollars, and what is worse,
1 meet such expensive friends there that
it costs me more than can earn To keep
it up" 81 was just thinking of joining
the club" said Bob. sit will be cool
five hundred year out of your pocket,
and precious little satisfaction at that,
said his friend.
Robert hummed a tune when left to
himself. 1t was a long day. Business
had dragged. Everybody was pre-
occupied, hurried, cross. Things went
wrong. He was glad to come home,
only it wasn't home. He took book,
but found himself trying to read the
Goals in the CRATE and the figures
on the wall instead of the page
He threw himself on the lounge, but it
was dreadfully dull. He stood it for
some time, and then put on his hat and
walked down to- the widow Craig's. He
stepped up to the door, as usual, but Ed
ma was engaged. II seemed \ month
before she came down. He arose from
his seat and met her in the middle of
the room, and said, Edna, have come
here tonight on business. / am tired of
being your mOcking bird and want to be
your red breast. Will you be my wife?''
''When you say" said Edna, her face
suffused with biushes.
''SOon as l can make nest, dearest,
Robert replied.
II believe both the red breasts join in
building the nest" said Edna, land l
want to do my part"
This was twenty years ago. To-day
one of the handsOmest mansions in one
of our cities Is the nest of the welded
pair. whose lives have been as sweet as
a birds song, and whose hearts, like
their affections, are as young as ever.
There is a great deal moro in putting
little straightforward business at the be-
ginning of life than is generally supposed.

One of the newspapers mentions the
case of a gentleman who married @
person on account of the vigorous
manner in which she welded sweep
ing brush. Some other persons have
married for reasons equally extraordi-
nary. Judge Hugh Breckenridge, of
the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania,
the witty author of "Modern ChIval-
ry," whilst riding through Westmore-
land county, Pa, saw young girl
who was going out to milk the cows,
place her hand on the top rail of a
fence, and spring over. "If you can
do that again, my girl, 1 will marry
you" The girl did so. The Judge
dismounted, saw the parents of the
girl, and told them that he would un-
dertake the education of their daugh-
ter and afterwards marry her; which
was done.

column of magnetic light is shooting out
further and further from the solar sphere,
and it is now stretching out forty-hve
millions of miles. In other words, 1t has
accomplished half the distance between
us and the sun. 1t is predicted that be-
fore the end OF next year this magnetic
light will have got near enough TO US to
make its immediate and actual influence
upon the earth distinctly felt.

WeddingS.-The Anniversaries and
How Celebrated.

Anniversary weddings appear to be
yearly growing into more general
favor. They may be made pleasant
festivals if it only be understood that
etiquette and good breeding do not
demand the acknowledging of an in
vitatiOn to these weddings by presen-
tation of valuable gifts. Members OF
the family, or very intimate friends,
are the only persons from whom such
gifts may be received. Invited guests
need not absent themselves from such
agreeable entertainments because q
false conception requires them to con-
tribute costly presents For amuse-
ment or sOciability, trifles in paper,
tin or wood may be offered by casual
as well as personal friends on the Oc-
easiOn of the eOmmemOrated we'd
dings.
THE PAPER WEDDING.
The first anniversary of the mar
riage is hOnored by but few. Invita-
tIOns have been issued on peculiar
style of gray paper, resembling thin
pastebOard. The presents in keeping
are paper, books, portfolios, engrav-
ings, etc.
THE WOODEN WEDDING
is the fifth anniversary. The invita-
tiOns are printed on thin cards of
wood, about as thick as four sheet
Bristle board.
THE TIN WEDDING
is the tenth anniversary. Invitations
have been issued on tin, but the most
artistic style is printed in oxydized tin
bronze, or in black on large unglazed
card or note sheet, with monogram in
dull silver on invitation and envelope.
4 field of tin bronze ON the lower
half of the note sheet with letters in
black, produces a pleasing effect.
THE CRYSTAL WEDDING
is the fifteenth anniversary. 1t has
not been frequently celebrated in this
country Cards have been printed on
erystaliZed paper, with envelope to
match, and the monogram has been
in silver relief.
THE LINEN WEDDING
has been inaugurated for the twen-
tieth anniversary, and should any be
observed, an invitation on Hnnen in
gold would be appropriate.
THE SILVER WEDDING
is the twenty fifth anniversary. 1t is
very popular, and has been at times
observed with a repetition of the mar
riage ceremony. The invitations are
on the finest note paper. printed in
silver.
TIE GOLDEN WEDDING
is the fiftieth anniversary. The in
vitations are on paper, printed IN
gold

sing WHILE YOU MAY - That
good dog Brag," of which we have
all heard, is being put through in right
lively style BY the Democrats of this
State. Were person to believe one
tenth of all the Democratic vaporing
which he hears, he could see nothing
before the Republican party but total
humiliation at the hands Of its irwin
chile opponents. The boasting of the
Democrats reminds US of an old story Of
an Irishman who, passing field, saw
q bull tearing up the turf with great
show of satisfaction. Il occurred to Pat
that it would be funny thing to seize
the animal by the horns and take the
conceit out of him by rubbing his nose
in the dirt. The humor of the thing vas
so irresistible that Pat lay down and
rolled over in a perfect paroxysm Of
laughter and delight, and the idea grew
upon him till he concluded to put it in
to execution. But the first pass Pat
made at the bulls horns resulted in his
ascending through the air in scientific
curve and striking on the the other
side of the fence IN a rather damaged
condition. Rubbing his bruised bones
he at last groaned out : "Well, e gor
ra, it WAS a fine thing that I had
my kugh foorst."

FoR AssEMBLY.-At the Demo
cratic District Convention, held in
this city last Saturday, Mr.. z. 2.
Brook was nominated for the Assem-
bly,. Socially and as business man
We have every reason to like Mr..
Brook and TO speak well Of him, but it
cannot be denied that dis nomination
is exceedingly satisfactory to those
who are seeking to compel the city to
a speedy payment of its Indebtedness.
There Is at present no political ques
ton of interest bef1re the public, and
with US here at WATERFOWL nothing
compares in Importance with the ad-
Justment of our city Indebtedness. The
election Of Assemblyman will doubt
less turn upon this question, and it is
OF vi al consequence that the views of
our representative at Madison upo u
the subject are we'll understood and
satisfactory. Therefore, when we see
Bill Chappell, Dennis and others of
that class gleefully rubbing their hands
at the prospect of a certain mans cleo
ton, and announcing, as one OF them
has in the case of Brooks, that there
is 81 900 ready 10 secure his election,
we may be sure that his success BODIES
no good 70 the general interests of the
people. We think there is a chance
to do better.
