KISS MY WIFE or FIGHT.

There are few married men who
are avcrse to seeing their wives kiss-
ed; but a correspondent relates of a
ease in which a newly-made Benedict
felt himself insulted because his wife
was not kissed. The bridegroom in
question was n stalwart young rustic,
who was known As formidable oper.
ator in free fight. His bride was
q blooming and beautiful country
girl, only sixteen years of age, and
the twain were at u party where a
number OF young folks Of both sexes
were enjoying themselves in the old
fashioned style. Every girl in the
room was called out and kissed, ex-
cept the beautiful young bride, afore-
said; and although there was not a
yonngester who was not dying TO
taste her lips, they were restrained by
the presence of her herculian husband,
who stood regarding the party with
sullen dissatisfaction. They mistook
the cause. however, for suddenly he
expressed himself.
Rolling up his sleeves, he stepped
into the -nsiddlcsef theroom, and in q
tone ofyoice that secured marked at

YOUNG AMERICA AT THE

A weli-known clergyman was
crossing Lake Erie some years ago up
on one of the Lake steamers, and
seeing small lad at the wheel steer

'-,Iy son you appear to be small

Yes, sir.

The boy did again as requested,
then the minister remarked:

A HAPPY MEETING.-One of those
happy episodes which we read in ro-
nance. but rarely see in real life, took
place in this city last Tuesday
Twenty years ago Captain William
Hunt, seafaring man, left the good
ciyt of Boston for the golden shores
of the Pacific. Like thousands of
others who came at that period, he
was to be gone but short time, and
parted with his wife and baby, the
latter only ten weeks old, with bright
visions of a competency to be easily
acquired in the new El Dorado and
an early return to his wife and child.
But the capricious dame had no smiles
for him. The years rolled by and
the competency SO fondly expected
was as far off as ever. Tired OF the
buffeting of fortune, he some years
ago took up a piece of land in the
upper portion Of Reese river valley,
and set to work to build home for
himselfthat uninviting region, to which
he might bring his loved ones. He
has met with the reward which in this
country never fails to attend the man
of will, industry, and good habits, and
is now the possessor OF good rancho,
upon which fine crops are growing.
On Tuesday last his wife and daughter
arrived, and the meeting, after q separ
ration of twenty years, can be better
imagined than described. The baby
| of two months had developed into q
handsome young woman, and the
young wife had matured into q mat.

his own locks, but all enjoy robust
health. On Monday next they will

Bay State, possesses inexpressible

HEAVY FoRGERrEs IN PHILADELpn1A.-

HEAVY FoRGERIEs IN PHILADELPHIA
The Philadelphia Ledger of Tuesday says !:
considerable anxiety has been mani
tested on Sd street for the last three or four
days by the discovery of pretty heavy
amounts Of forged paper in the hands OF
several of our banks, These notes are
mostly among the drug men; one Of which
purports to have been drawn by Russell &
Lands, one by O.S. Janney & Co., and
others, we understand, on parties nearly
related TO the perpetrator of the torgeries,
who is q young gentleman of culture, en-
gagged in active business on his own account.
The whole amount of this fraudulent paper
that has been discovered and traced
does not probably exceed $4,000 to
$4,000. This, however, only includes the
banks to which the investigation thus far
has been confined. What may be discov-
cred when examination is made among the
banking-houses and the trust and savings
companies we cannot answer-it is hoped
| nothing, for the sake of the young man and
his unfortunate father and relatives, who
are included among the most respectable
! and wealthy Of our city. Among the banks
ascertained to be holders Of this forged pa
per are the Commercial, the Bank of Com
merce, and the Tradesmen's. In some in
stances the paper has been discounted
directly, and In others it is held as collat-
eral security for amounts smaller than its
face. We understand there is no reason to
suppose at present that the banks will be
| losers in any of the transactions named
certainly not if it shall prove that they in
cude all of the delinquencies."

The Hudson River Accident.

The accident on the Hudson River rail-
road is one Of the most appalling IN lis at
teudant horrors that have occurred III the
history of railroads in this country. Surely
il is one of that kind which should never
have happened on that particular road, ana
we suppose the company "ill be made TO
suffer severely for it.
Every railroad ought to havea regulation
which would prevent any train from ruiz
ming so close behind another as to make 1t
impossible to signal the rear train, III case
Of accident to that running ahead, III time
to prevent the rear train running upon
that to which the accident happened.
The number of tlagmen on the Hudson
River road is very large. ANY train may
be checked in its speed by a signal possibly
at every mle-post, certainly at very short
distances from one signal station to an
other; and thus, when the train behind
was running too near thai ahead. II might
be promptly checked. Had this been done
on the Hudson River road, no lives would
have been lost, nor would two trains H.
stead of one have been disabled and piled
up in Il mass of ruins.
1t is true we have had but Il brief cXpe-
rience in railroading, but quite enough 10
have avoided such Il catastrophe rs this. 1t
is a sad reflection upon the age in which we
live that travellers should he exposed to so
terrible an accident as this. To be bruised
and broken and torn TO pieces by splnters,
or crushed by timbcrs, is appalling; but
what words will describe the horrors of the
added flames Of that intlammable fluid,
which rise up like ignited powder, or more
like the lightning which sweeps across The
sky. The whole nation, Injured rs it is to
direful calamitieS, must be deeply distressed
by the pictures of this terrible accident.
From such pcrils rs this the travelling
public ought to be better protected. III Is
time in this civilized land that better secu
rity were given to the millions OF travellers
The sources of danger are familiar to IL
all and although accidents now and thel
take strange forms, rs in this instance
there are general safeguards which woul(
give protection from even this us well Il
numerous others. Society should dcmant
it through the law-making power. III al
cases where such calamitieS happen from
want of care and because of positive neg
lect, the remedy should be heavy fines an,
