A Woman Marries two Wives.

A strange disclosure has been made at
Etherly near Bishop Auckland, by the
death of woman who has for the past fif-
ty years resided in that neighborhood and
married two wives. 1t is said that she
came from Scotland fifty years ago in the
guise Of young man and obtained employ
ment at one of the collieries at which she
worked as one of the men for some time,
and paid her addresses to and ultimately
married, a servant girl living at the village
inn. After her marriage she relinquished
working at the pit and commenced to make
besoms, yellow clay balls and pipe clay rub
bers which her and her partner vended in
the surrounding villages. They had lived
together twenty-three years, when the wife
died, and the reputed husband professed to
lament her loss very much, but at length
the grief wore Off, and shemaried second
wife, with whom she lived number Of
years, but not on the most atfectionate
terms, and eventually by mutual consent
they separated. For some time the woman
had lain on bed of sickness, and been de-
pendant upon some kind neighbors, whom,
however, she always prevented coming too
near her. The other day she died, and
then the discovery of her sex was made
The deceased woman gave her name as Jo-
sia Charles Stephenson, and she has been
heard to speak of being heir to some prop
erty about Berwick Tweed, but had no
money to go and claim it. Many strange
stories are told in connexion with this sim
gular individual history.

Couldn't DO 1t.

An amusing incident occurred ina GER
tain city few days since, and one that
is too good to be lost. One Of our cele-
brated composers has written very pref
ty song entitled Kiss me-" A very
pretty blushing maid, having heard Of
the song, and thinking she would get it
with some others, stepped into a music
store to make purchase. One of the
clerks, a modest young man, stepped up
to wait on her. The young lady threw
her veil back'saying
want Rock Me to Sleep"
Theclerk got the song and put it be-
fore her.
"Now," said the young lady, "I want
Wandering Refugee"
Yes ma'am," said the clerk bewing,
and in a few minutes he produced the
Refugee.
Now, Kiss Me-" said the young lady,
of course meaning the song above men
toned.
The poor clerks eyes popped fire al
most as he looked at the young lady in
astonishment, for he was not aware Of the
fact that song by that name had been
written.
Wh-what did you say, Miss :"
"Kiss Me-" said she.
IL can't do it: [ never kissed young
lady in my life, said the clerk
About that time veil dropped, a
young lady left in hurry, clerk felt sick
and dealer lost the sale of some music.

Hard ON the Dandy.

Dinner was spread in the cabin ,of that
peerless steamer the New World and

While the refined exquisite was giving
his order, jolly western drover had list

eyes. When the diminutiVe paused, he
brought his fists upon the table with a
force that made every dish bounce, and
then thundered out:

A Baby's SOlilOquy.

TIT ERE / AM and, if this is what they
il Il call the world, don't. think much
of it. It's a very ilannelly world, and
smells of parogoric awfully. It's dread
full light world, too, and makes me blink,
tell you. And | don't. know what to do
my eyes. No. won't. I'll scrabble at the
corner of my blanket and chewit up, and
then I'll holler whatever happens I'll hol-
Ter. And the more paregoric they give me,
the londer I'll yell. That old nurse puts
the spoon in the corner of my mouth in
very uneasy way, and keeps tasting my
milk herself all the while She spilled snuff
in it last night, and when l holered she
days old baby. Never mind, when I'm
man, I'll pay her back good There's pin
sticking in me now, and if | say word
about it, I'll be trotted on fed, and l
would rather have caUnip tea.
I'll tell you who l am. found out to-
day. l heard some folks say, "Hush, don't
wake up Emmeline's baby" That's me.
I'm Emmelines baby" and | suppose
that pretty white-faced woman over on the
pillows is Emmeline
But no ! that can't be so either for there
was fellow in here a little while since,
that said he came in to see Bobs baby,
and looked at me, and said l "was a funny
little toad, and looked just like Bob" He
smelt Of cigars, and I'm not used to them.
| wonder who else l belong to- Yes, there's
another one-thaj's @ Gamma Emmelne
told me, and then she took me up and held
me against her soft cheek and said, "It
was Ganma's baby, SO it was"
There comes Snulfy with catnip tea. The
idea of giving babies catnip tea when they
are crying for information I'm going to
sleep. l wonder if l don't look pretty red
i'll the face? | wonder why my hands won't

CHE Gimes, New BIoorn6elo, 11a,
LetlHim Squeal.

A. Vermont landlord, famous for being
IN deaf just when he wanted to be,
when rallied upon his infrmity one day,
told his guests the following story:
When young man he worked on a
farm for stingy old farmer, in an
adjoining town. On leaving, a balance of
two dollars was due for wages. Having
called repeatedly for his money, the old
man had some excuse for not paying.
4 SOW of the old mans had litter of
pigs, consisting of four, one of them,
which is generally the case, being
a small runt as they call them. George
told the old man he would take pig for
his money the old man said he might
have the small one. George jumped in
the pen, and seized the largest pig. The
old man shouted:
Take the small one !"
"Let him squeal," said George, g" 1
can hold him"
Old man, excited:
Take the small onep'
"Oh, I'll risk his biting" said
George.
Old man desperate, and as loud as he
could below:
"Take the small one p
Let him squeal, say, [. can hold
him" answered George.
Take him along, you deaf cuss; |
can't make you hear anything
George carried off his pig natriumph.

Singular Echoes.

Colonel Powell, in letter describing his.
explorations of the Colorado River says.
that at point where the Yampa River en-.
ters the Green, the river runs along rock
about seven hundred feet high and mile
long, then turns sharply around to the
right, and runs back parallel to its former
course for another mile, with the opposite
side of this long, narrow rock fort bank.
On the east side of the river, opposite the
rock and below the Yampa, is a little park
just large enough for a farm. The river
has worn out hollow domes in this sand
stone rock, and, standing opposite, words
are repeated with strange clearness, but
in softened mellow Tone Conversation
in very loud key is transformed into
q amagical music One can hardly believe
that it is the echo of his own voice. In
some places two or three echoes come back,
in others the &c hoes themselves are repeat
ed, passing forth and back across the river
for there is another rock making the east
ern wall of the little park. Some thought
they could count ten or twelpe~echoes.

Eleven Turkeys.

Friend Jerry is a good-natured civil
fellow, who attends to his business and
provides well for his family, but has one
little failing, in this, that when he goes to
his home in the suburbs at night, he is
usually more or less under the influence
of contraband fluids. One night, little
after dark, he started for home with a
nice turkey, safely done up in strong
wrapping paper, underhis arm. Jerry"
found the road from the station to his
pretty cottage, some half mils distant;
uncommonly rough that night. He sew
eral times stumbled and fell over all sorts
of distractions in the path. Each time
he fell he dropped his turkey, but con
trived to pick it up again. On entering
his house, he steadied himself as well as
he was able, and said to his wife, Z" Here,
wifey, I've got leven. turkics, for you"
eleven turkies, Jerry! What do you
mean2 There's only one p "There must
be 'leven turkies, wifey, for | fell down
'leven times, and every time | fell down
| found a turkey. There must be 'leyen
turkies"

"Geese, my son, merel ly geese" calmly
replied the parent bird, looking over the

that when you meet any one who makes
a great fuss about himself, and tries to
lift his head higher than the rest of the
world, you may set him down at'once for

UTILIZING THE OLD MAN.-An Eng
lishman meeting party Of American
settlers the other day in Texas, inquired
from the conductor what the men in the
first wagon were intended for?
{" To clear the forests"

in the second for ?"
"To build the huts," was the reply.
"And that old white-headed man in

the next question asked to which the
reply was given,

our new cemetery with him !"
He did not inquire further.
