The Newark yournrl tells short but
very romantic story from Long Branch.
1t states that at grand hop given at
the Mansion House, Long Branch, on
Saturday evening, John d. Banshart, a
Jersey City lawyer, was introduced to
Mrs. Caroline Marsh, of New York, said
to be possessed of 100000. The writer
says she is thir'y-fve and radiant in her
widows weeds, "aud looks really well
for one who has grieved at the grave of
two husbands" They spent Sunday in
promenading and carriage riding, on
Monday went bathing together, and on
Monday evening were married by Rev
DR.. James B. Wilson.

Sentenced to Marriage

A case recently tried before the Clom-
mel (lrish) Assizes was brought to a sin
gular and novel termination by tho pre-.
siding judge. The parties in ;;'c case
were young man ard young woman.,
both of whom claimed possession of ru-
raj property, one by virtue of an ancient
lease, and the other under will They
were in court for the purpose of giving
their testimony, when bright idea oc.
curred to the judge, who interrupted the
case to say:
at Just strikes me that there is
pleasant and easy way to terminate this
law suit. The plaintiff appears to be
respectable young man, and this Is
very nice young woman Laugh,er.
They can both get married and live hap
Py on this farm. If they SO on with
law proceedings i: will be all FILTERED
away, between the lawyers. who. am
sure, are not unsallant enough to wish
the marriage may not come Of"
The young lady. on being interrogat-
ed, blushed, and said she was quite vii,
ling to marry the plaintiff. The later,
on being asked if he would wed the
Young woman, gallantly responded.
Most undoubtedly. The Judge re-
marked that the suggestion had occurred
to him by instinct on seeing tho young
couple. A verdict was consequently
entered for plaintiff or condition of his
promise to marry defendant within two
rnonths, a stay of execution being put
on the verdict till the marriage ceremony
is completed. The counsel gave the
young lady such an unmerciful "chaff-
ing on her consent. which many in
court thought should have been first
obtained from plaintiff, that she left the
court ir tears.

How COFFEE WAS DISCOVERED
Toward the middle of the 10Th century
a poor Arab was travelling in Abyssin.
mia, and finding himself weak and weary
from fatigue he stopped near a grove.
Being in want of fuel, he cut down a
tree which happened to be covered with
dried berries. His meal being cooked
and eaten, the traveller discovered that
these half burned berries were fragrant.

their aroma increased to great extent.
While wondering at this, he accidently
let fall the substance into a can which
contained his scanty supply of vate-.
Lo, what miracle? The almost putrid
liquor was instantly purified; he brought
it to his lips, it was fresh and agreeable.
and in a moment after the traveller had
so far recovered his strength and energy

lucky Arab gathered as many berries as

suffering for years from the influence of
that poisonous drug. He tried an infl-

A Sharp Detective.

A Madrasse had monkey which lie
was very fond of. The man had occl-
sion to go on journey, and took with
him money and jewels. and his chum ,
the monkey. Some rosues determined
to rob him of everything he had ac-
cordingly they lay in wait for him and
murdered him. Having secured the
money and jewels. they threw the muir
deled man into dry well, and having
covered it up with twigs and dry leaves,
they went home. The monkey who
was on the top of a tree. saw the whole
of the proceedings, and when the muir
derers departed, he came down and made
tracks for the Tahsldar's house. and by
his CT les aud means attracted the atten-
ton of that functionary. Inviting the
Tahsildar, by dumb signs. to follow him,
the monkey went to the well. and point
ed downwards. The Tahsildar thereup-
on go: men to go down, and of course
the body was discovered. The monkey
then led the men to the place where the
jewels and money were buried He then
took them to the bazaars, and as soon as
he caught sight of one of the murderers
he ran after him, bit him in the leg. and
would not lei him 60 till he was secured.
In this way all the murderers were
caught. The men it is said, have con
fessed their crime, and they now stand
committed for trial before the Tellicherry
court at the ensuing session. That mon
