THE Pittsfeld (Mass) Times says that,
fifty years ago, man named David Hill
lard disappeared from that town, and no
trace of him could be found. A few days
ago he returned. He hsd been in Maine,
and had never seen a railroad until within

eye" and finally calculated: Grandfather,
whose head youg got on?"
WHEN the Emperors Of Germany and
Austria met at Wells, Francis Joseph in
troduced to William l. his adjutant, Il
HUI gsrian count with only one arm.
Where did you lose your arm, count ~
asked the German emperor. "At Sadowa,
your majesty" replied the count, "at the
charge OF your cavalry which you led

Mr.. MORRIS PHILLIPS writes to the
Home Journal from Paris: "These who
go 10 Paris with the idea that they can
live cheaply VIII be sadly mistaken. Be-
fore the war this may have been true; but
a great change has taken place. War is
costly game, and the looser must pay the
price. To help pay the Prussian demand
everything has been taxed-provisions
with other commodities; per consequence,
hotel charges are high. True, good din
ner, table GhOts, is served with wine for
five francs, and the rate per night for lodg
ing is reasonable, but attendance is charged
and so are candles; and when
the traveller gets his bill he is amazed
with items and extras he never dreamed
Of"
A Boston gentleman, travelling in
Europe, had his watch stolen from him in
Vienna, and offered a reward equal to fifty
dollars in our money. The watch did not
appear, and, when returning toward
America, he left his name and address,
and the number of his watch. A year has
since gone, and he gave up all hopes of
ever seeing it, when few days ago, his
watch came to him in Boston, the only
charge upon it being one of fifty cents for
express transportation from New York.
The thief had been arrested in Vienna,
the watch found upon him, and forwarded
by the city government of Vienna free of
charge to New York. This shows q de-
sire upon the part of the authorities there
to secure the good wishes of travellers, to
say the least.
A DARING HUNTER.-Louis Kelley is,
perhaps the most daring and successful
Indian hunter in the great West. He
travels alone, fights slone, wears COM
plete suit of buckskin, and wears turbsn
around his head when out on the prairie
He is said to be a graduate of college,
and halls from Virginia or South Carolina
1t is thought he was Confederate officer.
He Is about twenty-five years OF age,
handsome, well formed and muscular.
The Indians dread him as much as they
ever did Kit Carson or Daniel Boone. He
never misses his mark. An Indian is as
good as dead the moment he draws sight
on him. He will travel weeks at time
through hostile Indians and never express
, thought of danger. Kelley is now on a
trip to the headwaters of the Yellowstone,
4 country never yet visited by any white
nan. He is alone. He has been known
10 dare dozen Indians on the open prai-
re to fight him in a body. No Indian
will ever get within reach of his deadly
rife.
A GRAND fashionable wedding, announc-
ID to take place few days ago, in New
York, was postponed under peculiar and
rying circumstances. The groom, de-
aimed down town longer than he anticI-
oated, hastened to his home to array him |
elf for the ceremony, and found that his
Wedding suit had not arrived. He imme- |
lately dispatched q messenger for the |
Missing garments, and waited with what |
patience he could summon for his return. |
rhe messenger returned, but not the pam
aloons. The tailor, Spanish professor
,f the art of cutting and msking, had the
misfortune to have his establishment seiZ- |
d for debt, and the wood-be bridegroom's
Wedding suit was seized with the stock,
md wasin possession of the Sheriff. Fancy
he situation. 1t was almost the hour for |
he ceremony, and no clothes The per-
pective Benedict jumped into a carriage

'earch of the myrmidon of the law, but,
When found, he was obdurate-no en-
reaties could move him to yield the wed
ling garments. The baffled and disap.
,ointed bridegroom, compelled against his
will to appear laggsrd in love, had to re-
urn to his home and indite an epistle to
Waiting bride, explaining that, as he had
