A strolling company performing in
Charleston, West Virginia, one day last
week advertised upon their bills, as a
means of securing a larger audience

play real wedding would take place

the curtain rose and disclosed the Epis

upon the stage, clad in full canonical
vestments; a gentleman and lady OF
the troupe soon made their appearance,
and were married in accordance with
the form of the Episcopal church
The church is somewhat scandalized by
the transaction.

There is d vast difference in the flavor
OF eggs. Hens fed on clean, sound
grain, and kept on clean grass run,
give much finer favored eggs than hens
do that have access to stables and man
IRE heaps and eat all kinds of filthy
food. Hens feeding on fish and onions
flavor their eggs accordingly-the same
as cows eating onions, or cabbage, or
drinking offensive water imparts a bad
taste TO milk and butter The richer
! the food the higher the color of the
eggs. Wheat and corn give the best
color, while feeding on buckwheat
makes the eggs colorless, rendering
them unfit for some confectionery pur-
poses.

Writ and Webster---A Trial Of Wit.


Daniel Webster was once engaged in
the trial of a case III one of the Viz
ginia courts, and the opposing counsel
was William Writ, author of the Life
of Patrick Henry, which has been
criticised as brilliant romance. In
the progress of the case, Mr. Webster
produced highly-respectable witness,
whose testimony Cunless disapproyed or
impeached) settled the case and ami
hilated Mr. Wirt's client. After get
ting through the testimony, he inform
ed Mr.. Writ, with a significant ex-
preston, that he was through with the
witness, and that he was at his service.
Mr. Writ rose to commence the cross
examination, but seemed for moment
quite perplexed how to proceed, but
quickly assumed a manner expressive
of his incredulity as to the facts elecit-
ed, and, coolly eying the witness a
moment, he said:
"Mr K, allow me to ask you if
you have ever read a work called the
Baron Natnchousen2n
Before the witness had time to reply,
Mr.. Webster quickly rose to his feet,
and said
81 beg your pardon, Mr.. Writ, for
the interruption but there was one
question [ forgot to ask the witness,
and if you will allow me that favor, [
promise not to interrupt you again "
Mr.. Writ, in the blandest manner, re-
piled, C Yes, most certainly - when
Mr.. Webster, III the most deliberate
and solemn manner, said:
''Sir, have you ever read Wirt's Pot
rick Henry a."
The effect was irresistible, and even
the judge could not control his features.
Mr.. Writ himself joined in the momen-
tary laugh, and, turning to Mr.. Webster,
said, Suppose We submit this case to
the jury without summing up" which
was assented to, and Mr.. Webster's
| client won the suit.
