A Mixed up Family.

A sufferer by alliances between con
ncctions by marriages thus explains his
position; II married widow who had
a agrown-up daughter. My father viyited
our house very often, and fell in love with
my step-daughter and married her. So
my father became my son-in-law, and my
step-iaughter my mother, because she
was my fathers wife. Sometime after
ward my wife had son-he was my
fathers brother-in-law and my uncle. for
he was the brother of my step-daughter.
My fathers wife, /. e., my step-daughtcr,
had also n son; he was, of course, my
brother, and in the meantime my grand
child, for he was the son of my daughter.
My wife was my grandmother, because
she was my mothers mother. was my
wife's husband and grandchild at the
same time. And as the husband of
persons grandmother is his grandfather,

Remarkable Premonition.

One of those mysterious cases of pre-
monitory warning occurred in this city
lately. A young and beautiful married
lady, whose husband was down town at
tending a railroad meeting" stepped in
to neighbor's house to while away an
hour or so until he returned. While en-
gagged in knitting a stocking, she was
startled by the sudden dropping of all the
stitches from one needle, but not being
superstitious she proceeded to gather them
up. when looking-glass in the room fell
and broke; she then felt that some deadly
peril hung over her husband, and rushed
home. The front door was open; his
overcoat hung upon the floor, and his
plug hat was placed upon the marble bust
of Daniel Webster in the parlor. With
an inde6nable feeling of terror she rushed
10 her room-only to find her warning
realized; there he lay ON the bed and the
ace ofspades tightly clutched in his hand
She did not faint, but denied trumps and
played club-around his head-until
he promised to give up such "rishs. 81
