A SYRACUSE GIRL IN CHICAGo.-We
know what in the matter of social relations,
Syracuse is-a Chicago. Imagine femi-
nine sport taken from the saline nursery
and transferred to the hot bed of the West.
A correspondent of the Syracuse Courier,
writing from the City of the Lakes, tells us
of such case:
The joys of wedlock and the surprising
bliss of divorce has just been illustrated
here by girl of nineteen marrying her
fifth husband, to the readers of the Courier,
where, as Mis- H-H-n, she four years
since was first married within ten miles OF
our office. The good wishes and kindly
thoughts of those present went out with
her. Beautiful, gifted, wealthy, what did
she lack9 Soon after marriage she came
here. In five months she was divorced
In eight days she was again at the bar -
husband No. Q lasted seven months and
one week, and then went the way of his
predecessor. Only twenty-three days
elapsed before she was enjoying No. 3; he
went under in less than nine months, anoth-
er victim to the remorseless course. This
time five months went by before she could
bring herself to endure the sight of man,
and No. 4 was made happy. No. 4 was
tough he held out for nearly eleven
/ months, but finally he, too, succumbed to
the law as administered here, and on fine
evening of last week I saw her blush like
virgin bride as she received the salute OF

.assecdOse Of Thos. f. Marshall.

The Hon. Thomas F. Marshall, of Ken
lucky, once a prince of good fellows, was
defending man charged with murder in
Jessamine county, Judge Lusk presiding.
The testimony against the prisoner was
strong, and Tom struggled hard on the
cross-examination, but to little purpose,
for the old Judge was infexible in his de-
termination, to rule out all improper testi-
mony offered on the part of the defence.
AT last Tom worked himself into a high
state of excitement, and remarked that
"Jesus Christ was convicted under Just
such ruling of the court that tried him"
"Clerk," said the Judge center fine OF
ten dollars against Mr. Marshall."
"'Well, this is the first time ever heard
of anybody being fined for abusing Pontius
PLATE" was the quick response of Tom.
Here the judge became indignant, and
ordered the clerk to enter another fine OF
twenty dollars.
Tom arose with that peculiar, mirth- pro-
voking expression that no one can initiate,
and addressed the court with as much
gravity as circumstances would permit, as
follows:
"Ifyour Honor pleases, as good citizen,
feel bound to obey the order of this court,
| and intend to do so in this instance; but
as don't happen to have thirty dollars
about me, I shall be compelled to borrow
it from some friend, and as see no one pres
entwhose confidence and friendship have
so long enjoyed as your -honor's, make no
hesitation in asking the small favor of a
loan for few days, to square up the
amount of the fines that you caused the
clerk to enter against me-"
This was a stumper. The Judge looked
at Tom, and then at the clerk, and finally
said.
"Clerk, remit Mr.. Narshall's fines; the
State is better able to lose thirty dollars
than am"

from his locks, and started out with his
rifle to find the tracks of the bear. The
snow of the preceding night had entirely
obliterated the trail, but he had gone but
short distance, till he saw lying upon the
snow what he supposed to be bear skin,
which he concluded some hunter had rolled
up and left there. Looking at it intently
for moment, he saw it move, and at once
concluded that it was a cub, or q small
yearling bear. Having left his dog and
tomahawk at the place where he slept, in
tending to return to eat his breakfast by
the fire, he ut once determined to shoot, the
bear seeming to be o small one, without
being able To pick out q fatal spot-in
other words, to use his own language-to
'shoot at the pile" He did so. and at
the crack of the rifle, the identical monster
animal he had been following and fighting
for three days and nights rose from his
bed, the snow boiling and surging up as
If wbirlwind had stirred it into q column
of fog, and fixing his glaring eyes upon his
assailant, gave unmstakable evidence of a
furious attack. Wilburn understood the
situation" at once, and us the bear start
ed towards him, and for moment OBJ
scured by large tree around which he had
to pass, Wilbur, with his empty gun in
his hand, made one spring into beech
sapling covered with dead leaves, and
there hung still and motienless by one arm,
as the wounded and enraged animal passed
under and within three inches of him.
His situation was fearful in the extreme,
for the bear, smelling but not seeing him,
tore up by the roots and twisted down
saplings as if they had been straws, and
taking Wilburn's back track, disappeared
in the underground. No sooner had he
disappeared than Wilburn dropped from
his perilous perch, ran down powder and
ball without patching, and followed the
track. Proceeding about so yards, he saw
the monster in wild and frenzied conflict
with rock, the top of which protruded
from the snow, and making a noise, which
caused the bear to raise his head and look
at him, he drew bead and fired, the ball
entering his eye. Of course, he fell dead in
skinned and cleaned, was 460 lbs, and he
rendered out IS gallons of oil.
Wilbur had been given up for lost a
day or two before he returned to his home,
as it was known he had followed q huge
bear into the Wilson Laurel, and the whole
countryside was out in search ofhim. AS
it was known in all that region that
warm and intimate friendship existed be-
tween him and myself was sent for to assist
in the search, but the evening before my
arrival at his cabin he had returned. Thus
l had an opportunity of hearing this adj
venture from his lips, of eating fresh bear
meat and of seeing the skin, which was
as large as an ordinary blanket, and would
have enveloped the carcas of d four year
old steer.
Leaving you this adventure to digest, I
will, in. due time, give you another chapter
of incident in the lie of Wilbur Waters,
the great Hermit-Hunter of White Top
Mountain.
Yours, &C., C. B. G.

mE01.ueH,

About four miles northwest of the city
of Cork, in Ireland, is the small village of
Blarney, celebrated for the beauty Of its
environs, and still more for the remains
of an ancient castle, in which is wondrous
stone, thought to possess the power of i'm
parting to any who kisses it fluent, tiper.
suasive, and not over honest tonguge. The
exact position of the stone in the ruins is q
matterso dispute. Some saysshatfit is ly-
ing loose on the ground; others allege that
it is at the summit of the large square tow
er which was originally the donjon or keep
of the castle; while there are yet others who
maintain that it lis inserted in the.wall:st
such height that he who would kiss it
must consent to be suspended by his heels
from the top. When or how it first got its
singular reputation is not known ;sbut tho
superstition concerning it is asrnly fixed In
the minds ofthe Irish peasantry, hundreds of
whom resort to the castle every year for the
purpose OF kissing stone endued with a
property so marvellous. 1t is said that, in
the early part of the seventeenth century,
the lord of Castle Blarney, having been
taken prisoner by the English, made re-
peated promises that he would surrender
the fortress; but whenever the fllfilment of
his pledge was demanded, he invented some
smooth and plausible excuse for delay !;
and thus the term 6larney became by word,
and was used to denote soft, insinuating,
and deceitful manner of speech.
