A BRIDAL TRIP IN AN Ox-CART.-
Taking bridal trip in an ox-cart is not
the most fashionable method of doing it
hereabouts, but we don't know why there
shouldn't be inst as much fun in it as in
riding behind the screeching locomotive
or on the rocking steamer. A happy man
out in Arkansas, who had been fitting up
homestead, lately met the coming wom-
an for him at the railroad station. She
had taken the journey alone fro the city
of Boston, and if Boston girls in general
are cup TO this sort of thing" we should
be glad to know it. OF course he married
her on the spot, and the next day the
couple started for their home, a considera-
bic distance off, in an ox-cart, They have
probably reached it ere this. If fashiona-
BILE society turns up its nose at the idea of
bridal trip in an ox-cart, we have only
to suggest that it would be in better taste
to try it first. 1.-THE proof of the pud-

A Tale of Barbery.
BY VAL BRoCARD.

Chris Clip he was a barber brave,
OF natty style and air;
Tho he was rather on the shave,
He worked upon the square.
Incisive with his scissors, but
AS neat as any pin,
His old acquaintance he "cut,"
But yet they "come again"
Shampooing, all the sham he knew,
His Woodwork was sublime;
He wrought per capita tho few
Employed his skill per dysm.
Serene amid the busiest rush
His patience had no end,
And yet, a word would start "brush"
'Twixt him and any friend.
He'd "soap" the smoOthest customer
Or beard" the roughegt cuss,
His hands and tongue and manner Were
So oleasiuouS.
70 fortune Chris at length brusht thru
And felt that he was blest,
Til Cupid shot barb or two
Into that BARRIERS breast.
Kate was millinery maid,
Tho she made nary mill,
But what her pretty form displayed,
His tender heart to kill.
She'd pass his shop and raise her eyes;
His razor he'd lay by;
Zine teeth, so comely, such nice size
Chris Clip would family sigh.
Chris loved the lass with all his might
Alas twas his distress
He, never savage, prayed each night,
Would che be barbaress."
Farther, he did the question pop,
Let's wed, my charming girl,
,ua +s LII 49,, nv little shop,
I'll cut and you may curl"
he only "cUrled" her pretty lip,
Then stIaIghtway "cut" him dead.
Chris felt his heart-strings on the rip,
And sadly sought his bed.
I'm crost in love-rm for the tomb
Love TO the death is boss.
Engrave upon a stone my doom.
And sign big Chus Cross"

A CHANGE IN THE FREIGHT DEPART
MENT OF THE UNION William
Martin, Esq, one of the most experienced
and thoroughly competent freight agents
in the country, has been chosen general
freight agent of the Union Pacific rail-
way, the appointment dating from May
fifth.
Mr.. Martin has had over thirty years
experience in this line of business, having
been for many years connected with the
Chicago, Burlington q Quincy railway,
and for five years the general represents
tive of that line in New York city. He
has of late occupied the most arduous and
responsible position of adjudicator in the
settlement of the claims against and debts
due the old Wells, Fargo, and Butterfeld
express company, with headquarters in
Denver and Salt Lake City. He brings
to the discharge Of the duties of the re-
sponsible position assumed, ripe expert
ence, rare natural ability, and reputa-
ton general and most honorable.
Col. Harry Brownson, who rs retained
as the associate of Mr.. Martin, has, as all
know, served the company with unques-
toned ability and zeal, always command
ing the respect and confidence of those
whom he has so ably and faithfully serv-
ed. Few men have had larger experience
in the freight business of railways, none
ever discharged responsible duties con-
nected with il, with greater ability. The
Colonels popularity is as wide as his ac-
quaintance, and if the accommodating bust
ness and responsibilities of the freight de-
partment rendered the present change
necessary, it is alike creditable to him
and to the company that he remains in
the employ of the latter, and in the full
enjoyment of the esteem and confidence

They attribute them to the criminal class
