are sorry that the number from this vii

splendid supper provided for the occasion.
Words fall TO DO 1t justice, and one must
partakc 10 appreciate. After supper the
merry music Of the Rutland Quadrille

Gags and cycrgreens. Those so disposed

MISTAKEN THE BEVERAGE.

Frank Dagget, of the Litch6eld Led
ger, tells this story on Elder Ely, of
Wincna, who was one of the officers of
the Senate last winter:
"The Elder is one of those honest,
unsophlsticated souls, contact with
whom now aud then is refreshing.
Whether from lack of time, inclina.
tion or opportunity, the Elder was in
blissful ignorance of the secrets Of that
great American Observation-Disclosures.
Late in the session banquet was CIV
en- at the Metropolitan by the citizens
Of St. Paul, on the occasion of the
completion of certain railroads to
that city. The members Of the Leg
islature were invited, and attended
in full force. The Elder was there
and enjoyed himself hugely. The
'feed" was par excellence, and the
wiue sparkled and foamed in per-
feet ecstacy Of joy. The Elder ate and
was happy. he looked op the wine
cup, and it seemed to him good, so he
tasted-and 10, as nectar to the parch.

him, the Elder inquired: "Don't

From The Nep York Herald.
Among the victims Of the 1eceLt
railroad smash-up at Metuchen, N. j.,
was Danish couple named Potassen,
but two months married, Mr.. Potassen
being the son of a Danish nobleman.
They were on their bridal tour, and
were en- route to San Francisco, where
Potassen's brother is Danish consul.
When the terrible crash came Ill was
darkness and confusion for few mo-
ments ; but the gentleman soonxecover-
ed consciousness, and lis first thought
was of his bride. An immediste search
was made for the lady, who was At last
found beneath heap Of debris, sense
less and covered With blood. Upcn
raising her up, her husband vas hor.
ri6ed to find that one of her arms had
been completely torn off. The unfor-
tunate lady was removed to shelter, and
the husband began the sickening task
of seeking his wife's missing arm. He
proclaimed that upon one of the fingers
was the diamond wedding ring, . jewel
worth many hundred dollars, and in
stantly general search was begun
Among the prowlers about the wreck
was train hand, who was observed to
secrete something under his coat and
walk away. He Was soon overhaul
ed, and, on perceiving that he had
been detected, threw down his burden,
which proved to be the lost arm. It
was picked upsby the nobleman, who
removed the ring and caused the arm
to be taken care of. She was brought
to St. Barnaba's hospital, in Newark,
where she now lies in fair way Of re-
covery.
