An Episode in KIe,ci Lite--In the Wrong
Bath.


A few days since, bridal party stopped at
one of our principal hotels. There is always
a charming attractiveuess about such visitors,
that insensibly affects all who come within
reach of them. The lady in this case was one
of those charming creatures who insensibly
make an Ellen ont of earth, and who strew
mans path in life with flowers, pretty gold
den-haired blonde, fragile as a passion-hower;
and with eyes which make some dream of
Heaven gazing into their fathomless blue.
Of course, after a long ride in the cars, q
bath would be not only agreeable but indis-
pensabie. Soinquiries were made us TO where
this essential was TO be obtained, and arrange
ments made accordingly. Now be it under
stood that this convenience is so arranged at
the hotel in question, that lady and gentle
man-especially when the lady is the gentle
mans wife-can take their baths in ad dioin-
ing apartments. But unfortunately for the
happiness of our couple, baths at the same
time were ordered to be prepared for other
guests who had just arrived. and by the most
natural mistake in the world, our bride got
into the wrong bath.
1t was in that moment of supreme enjoy
ment when the warm, genial water was CO.
quoting with the beautiful form, when the
door was gently opened, and tall, bearded
masculine entered
OF course the lady screamed. Such sue
cession of shrieks have rarely echoed through
that building, numberless as may have been
its experience in screams.
"Oh, hush ! for Gods sake be quiet you'll
alarm the city -
'Oh. you dreadful man" and the shreks
waxed more loud and piercing, and the an
cry little hands beat the water around her in
to a loaming cascade, like miniature Mag
aga.
BY this time the whole house was alarmed,
and the patter of running feet was heard
through all the corridors The man couldn't
go out. because he WASH t dressed; he couldn't
remain, because it was immodest. The hus-
band by this time was thundering at the door.
and ipquring, in accents far from calm, what
the ID was the matter.
Help ne! help me!' screamed the bride.
The Mortified husband heard in reply:
wait till get my clothes on npd I'll 60"
He could endure no more. but bursting open
the door, rushed like demon into the room,
CRYING, frantically, "Mary- Mary-what's
the mat:er?'' But at tho same time his eye
lighted on the stranger, tugging madly in in
eifectual efforts to resume his apparel. On
him he seized, and, with his fist raised, de-
was offered in trembling voice, which dis
closed his sense of the peril
The lady had got into the wrong bath
He was not aware of her presence until he
undresSed. He meant 20 offeEce. For Mer-
cy's sake let him out"
The explanation proved satisfactory, the
unfortunate stranger fed. and the bride was
left to the consolation Of her lord-N o. Pic
dYuRe.

A gentleman in London fell in love with q
portrait of beautiful girl which he saw in a
photographers saloon, and declared he would
make the original his wife. "You cannot do
SO, replied the photographer '.for she is
only servant" lie vowed that this should
make no difference. At last it was agreed
that the gentleman should dine at the photo
grapher's, that the girl should wait upon him,
and that be should thus have an opportunity
of seeing whether his admiration was deep
enough to stand the sight of his goddess in
cap and apron. 1t stood that test, and very
soon the servant-goddess became the wife.
The relation of this story in London paper
is said to have already caused several pretty
servant girls to offer their faces to photograph

Both disappeared in a mixed coffee house
to talk it over.

of Somma, in Lombardy, Italy. This tree il

OF Julius Cesar. ~ years before Christ, and
is, therefore, 1901 years old. 1t is log feet
in height, and 20 feet in circumference at ono
foot from the ground. Napoleon, when lay

S:mplon, diverged from q straight line to

the number of concentric circles in the trunk,
to be 1865 years old.

A SUCCESSFUL LITERARY WoRK-The lato
King of Prussia once sent to an aide-de-camp
who was brave, but poor, q small portfolio

FIVE hundred crowns. Some time afterwards
he met the officer, and said to him.
"Ah, well, how do you like the new work
sent you?''
Excessively, sir" replied the soldier.

The king smiled, and when the officers

other portfolio, similar in every respect to
the first, but with these words engraved on it.

EXTRAORDINARY MATRIMONIAL MIsrAKE.-
An extraordinary matrimonial contretempS
transpired in Williamson County, Tennessee,
on Christmas night. A double marriage oc-
Cured in the same house, and the wedding
festivities were conducted in the old-fashioned
style; and in that joyful way. naturally
prompted by Christmas and the blissful event
which made double couple happy. About
midnight, both brides retired to rest, and in
half an hour thereafter the newly made hus-
bands followed suit. By some strange mis-
hap each gentleman made his way to the
wrong room, and actually occupied a bridal
couch to which he had no claim. Strange as
it may appear, the mistake was not discover
ed until daylight when one of the ladies
shrieked her surprise after vigorous fashion.
A general hubhub was the result, ard at last
accounts the brides were disccnsolate. All
sorts of schemes of reparatiou were proposed.
but it appears that no tangible plan for undo
ing the double mistake was arrived at. The
above episode actually transpired as narrated.

ernor of the State, sent his aid-de-camp to re-

the President was the agent of the States, and
should wait upon the Governor. and not the
Governor on the President. We suppose the
