The WorH having appraised Olive
Logan's hair at $500, the Chicago Post
is now specializing about the cost of her

A young man of Paterson, n. j., who
read that a young lady's pulse always
beat stronger in the palm of tho hand
than anywhere else, tried to find out
for himself, the other night, while spark
ing his intended, and she burst an iron
skillet over his head. He has cOnclud-
cd that their pulses beat as strong over
the head as anywhere. But he is not of
an inquiring tutn of mind any more.
1t is a 81 ynilicant fact that in the Ter
ritory of Wyoming, where they make
women voters, and allow them to sit on
juries and have other masculine rights,
there are les, females than males. 1t
is therefore supposed that the shrewd
men in that Territory have granted
these extraordinary privileges in order
to induce an emigration of the fair sex
thither, thus giving them q better
chance to procure wives.
The Philadelphia Press suggests
whether, if women be allowed the priv
ilege of serving as jurors, and one of
them serving as such should be locked
in q room all night with eleven men it
would furnish grounds for the husband
to sue for divorce. The argument is,
if such row is made when woman is
locked up all nj hit with one man, what
effect would it have in law if she were
locked up with eleveni Overhaul your

The mad votaries of fashion some-
times pay dearly for their folly. Here,
for instance, was woman up in Lam
caster, who read in the papers that 1t
was fashionable to powder the hair for
parties; so she loaded up her chignon
and her side-putfs with halfpound of
gunpowder. She looked well, that wo-
man did; but during the evening she
happened to bend over q drop light,
and there was just one energetic and
vigorous "siz." Perhaps that woman
isn't disgHsted and mortified, and sick
of styles aud Paris modes; and perhaps
she isn't anxious to purchase a symmet-
rical wig, and to construct pair OF
artificial eyebrows!
The Galena, Illinois, Gazette says: "a
young lady in the south part of this
county engaged herself to three differ
ent lovers. The young men, on learn
ing the situation of affairs, had fierce
quarrel about it. which was kept up
for several months. Finally concluding
that no good could result from continu
ing the warfare, all three agreed to
meet the girl and request her to take
her choice. At the appointed time the
meeting was held, when the girl quietly
informed them that it was quarrel of
their own, in which she was not partic.
ularly interested, and that they must
settle it among themselves. Where.
upon they retired and agreed to settle
the difficulty by drawing lots, which
was done, and the winner married the
girl last week. The parties are respect
ably connected, and, by request of one
of them, We suppress the names. The
bride declares that she got the one that
was her choice from the start"
