of Seattle are ready to donate one-third
their townsite and 10000 acres of land
contiguous thereto, to the railroad, in con.

Matrimonial,

Sol. Miller, editor of the White
Cloud Chief, gives the following de-
scription of q wedding in high life
OIL the Kansas border:
A brilliant company assembled at
the Hole III the Wall, Oh Saturday
evening, to witness the nuptials Of
Mr.. Cutfee Shinbone, of the firm of
Flipt1op & Co., dirt singers, and
Miss Dinah Skunkcabbage, eldest
daughter of Rev. Parson Skunk
cabbage, all of this city. The at
tendants were Mr.. Pompey Ginger
peel and Miss Chloe Wriggletwist,
(who passed up on the left, and stood
on their heads at the ri ght of the
crout trough), and Mr.. Bones jerk
leg and Miss Polly Peablossom, who
marched up on the right, crossed
over on the left with a hop step and
Jump, and squatted on their heels
close to the faucet of the beer keg.
Then came the bride and the groom
elect, who placed themselves stand
ing on one leg in front of the minis
ter, Rev. Caesar Blubbernose. Then,
amid a silence SO profound that you
could smell Squash Johnson's heel
at the far end OF the hall, the lengthy
but brief marriage service was gone
through.
The bride was dressed in a beau
tiful mouse -colored cheyauxdefrise
de compoodle, fine cut corsage sans
culotte, the skirt cut spoon fashion,
and ornamented with little sookte-
noontooteries. The tunic sic se,npey
which projected through the costive
over the left flank en- pesmere, was
relieved by q chinquepin of dog
woods, that rendered the costume
perfectly honey saao 1T que noNypon.
Veil Of invisible green delusion, cut
to train on the machine, and shod at
both ends with harness leather, and
the thing was all sl1ewgee.
The bridesmaids were dressed Ell

about in the proposal, for he had
heard talk of brisk Scotch terrier
that was about to be brou ght to
keep the rats from the grain; but
you may be sure he kept his know
ledge ito himself, SO that Feather
head Was none the wiser for it. "The
nonsense Of fellows like Tip Chip
munk!" said Featherhead to his
admiring brothers and sisters. "Thc
perfectly stupid nonsense! There
he goes delving, and poking, picking
up nut here and a grain there,
while | step into property at once"
"But [ hope, my son, you are
careful to be honest in your deal
ings," said old Nutcracker, who was
very moral squirrel. With that,
young Fcatherhead threw his tail
saucily over his shoulder, winkcd
knowingly at his brothers, and said,
Certainly, sir! If honesty consists
in getting what you can while it is
going, I mean to be honest" Very
soon Featherhed appeared to his ad:
miring companions in the height of
prosperity. lie had a splendid hole
in the midst of heap of chestnuts
and seemed to be rolling in wealth {;
lie never came home without bring
ing gifts for his mother and sister:
lie wore his tail .jauntily over his
back, and patroriizcd Tip Chipmunk
with a gracious nod whenever lie
met him, and thought that the world
was going well with him.
But one luckless day, as Feather
head was lolling in his hole, up came
two boys with the 1riskiest, Wiricst
Scotch terrier you ever saw. His
eyes blazcd like torches, and poor
Fedthcrhead's heart died within him
as he heard the boy say, "Now,
we'll see if we can't catch the rascal
that eats our grain.7 .Featherhead
tried to stink out of the hole he had
gnawed to come i'll by, but found it
stopped.
ooh, YOU are there, are you,
mister?" said the boy. "Well you
don't get out, and now for a cllase!'
And sure enough poor Teatherhead
ran distracted with terror up and
down, through the bundles of hay,
between barrels and over casks but
with the barking terrier ever at his
heels, and the boys running, shout
ing and cheering his pursuer on.
He was glad at last to escape through
a crack, though he left half Of his
fine brush behind him-for Master
Wasp, the terrier, made a snap at
it just as he was going, and cleaned
all the hair off of it, SO that it was as
bare as a rats tail.
Poor Featherhead limpcd off,
bruised and beaten, and bedraggled,
with the boys and dog still after
him; and they would have caught
him if Tip Chipmunk's hole had not
stood open to receive him. Tip took
him in, like a good natured fellowas
he was, and took the best care Of
him; but the glory Of Featherhead's
tail had departed for ever. He had
sprained his left paw, and the fright
and fatigue he had gone through
had broken up his constitution, so
that lie never again could be what
he had been; but Tip gave him a
situation as under-clerl1 in his estab-
lishment, and from that time he was
a sadder and wiser squirrel than he
had ever been before Harper's
Fourth Reader.
