HOW A SHAM MARRIAGE WAS
PERFORMED.
New York Letter to the Miami Republican


Speaking of British theatrical affairs
leads to a seandalous bit of news just in
from the provinces Gas play actors term
all the geography outside New York.
A pretty English actress, attached to
travelling company, while in one of the
Eastern citiss, took the heart Of rich
young scion Of rich old family quite by
storm. A very charming acqua intance
ensued. The company left one town for
another, aud the enamoured young man
pursued.
The young actress (ike all English
actresses) is accompanied by black
alapaca mother. There came time, a
few weeks ago, when that mother wept,
and walled, and CRASHED such teeth as
the roast beef of old England aud the
perennial doughnut Of New England had
left her,-then she refused to be COM
forted since Er hofspring had been
dcluded by willianous h'american.
The daughter saw her lover-just to
make mother comfortable-there should
be sham marriage, and it would make
things SO nice, and Horace could go to
New York with them. Horace assented.
A young man in the company Of a right
manager would, being unknown to mann
ma, personate the minister.
Sunday following mamma, feeling
still very unhappy, sat bolstered on the
sofa. An intimate friend of the pretty
actress was discussing with Horace the
coming sham ceremony, and the effect
it would have upon the stern mother,
when enters to them mademoiselle her.

membar Of Mr.. LIS company. In a
trice the pair stood up-IIorace gave
officiating minister an irreverent wink
Gentleman took out note book and
made memorandum of the names of
the high contracting parties, and Hor-
ace noticed how fine the thing was car
ried out fer the book bore the name OF
Rev. Dr.. Steele, First Presbyterian
church, on its cover. But when the
giddy youth followed out of the room
and slapped the sham minister on the
back and invited the ''old fellew to come
and crack a bottle for doing the thing so
WE'LL he received a well deserved re-
buke that opened his eyes so wide that
it is doubtful if he has shut them since,
For the minister was a minister, and
Horace Is married man, and the Brit
ish mother is appeased. But there is a
Yankee mother going up and down the
land who vows vengeance on the party
who have thus taken in her innocent
son.

THREE little girls were playing among
the peoples and sage brush of the back

lieve" keep house little way apart,
as near neighbors might, At last one
was overheard saying to the youngest OF
the lot, ''There. now, Nelly, you go
over to Sarah house and stop there a
little while, and talk as fast as ever you
can, and then you come back and tell me
what she says about me, and then III
talk obout her, and then you VIII go and
tell her ali say, and then we'll get as
mad as hornets and won't speak when
we meet. just as our mothers do, you
know; and thatll be such fun-won't

lived to some purpose? and were they
not close observers and apt scolars,
charmingly trained for the chief business
of life in a small neigborhood
