Singular Marriage.

A curious story is told by the
Paris Steele, illustrating the evil
of arbitrary notions
of marriage held by the followers
of religious sects in opposition to
the simple view of the matter taken
by the State. An Algerian cores
pendent says that the indigenous
Jews who have now become French
arc not all clear on this
point. They look into their relig-
ion for their law, and to this fact
be attributed the following painful
story. The ancient customs of the
Jewish people make the reception
by young woman of gift from q
young man, rendered with the
words: 81 consecrate thee to my
self with this" a valid marriage
A young and intelligent Jew, being
in want Of rich wife, fixed upon
rich young Jewess as a fit person
on whom to try stratagem sug-
gested by this custom. He intro
duced himself to his victim as q
jcweler in the town, and succeeded
in making her choose a bracelet
While paying him, she perceived
that the money she had put down
was insufficient, and said so to the
pretended jeweler, who instantly
handed her a coin, at the same time
pronouncing the sacramental words
which made her his wife. The cir
instantly threw down the piece, BIT
the rascal had, in the estimation o
the bigoted rabbis, acquired sufIi
cient right over her to induce then
to summon her before the syna
gogues that the affair might be in
vestigated, although it was obviou
that, both parties being French sui
J jects, no such claim could stand.-
The rabbis decided that the cond
tons making the gift q marriaq
had not been fulfilled, but the poo
girl fell i'll from agitation and anx
ETY., and died in a few days.

Talifar county, Georgia, boasts
of lady-widow of confederate
soldier-who is very useful in a
small, sociable row. A pedagogue
living on her land threatened to
wallop her recently, and pretty soon
thereafter attempted TO carry out
his threat. He was the worst fool
ed man in the Union. The widow
knocked him down and walked all
over him, and then she set him upon
his feet and jerkcd him out of his
socks; then she snatched him bald
headed and finally wound up the
ceremony by padding him with a
board until he had the Mysteries.

A Ecnrnll Ride.

The passage of the train from
Reno, recently, through the burning
tunnel the other side of the Amerl-
can Flat, will stand on record as one
of the most brilliant as wei as fof-
tunate dashes ever made under
sucb circumstances. John Bartho-
lomew. one of the best engineers
that ever mounted n locomotive
had on this particular occasion, hap
pened to change off with Charley
Mccormick, the regular engineer
of the "Reno," therefore was the
hero of this occasion. There was
no trusty Waterman or anybody
else to give warning of the impend-
ing danger, and the train was
around the curve and into the tun-
mel before the fire could be seen.
The tunnel is go feet long and the
fire being at the opposite end there
was little time for thinking or acting,
and not enough for stopping. The
deep, red, roaring flames and dense,
black smoke were ahead, and II
looked like attempting mad rush
through Tophet, but there was no
other way for it. The lives Of the
passengers and all the hands were
in the hands of Johnny Bartholo-
new, and nobody knew it better
than he. His first impulse was to
reverse the engine and whistle down
brakes, but his quick conclusion
was that wouldn't do, so, with
resolutc jerk he threw her wide
open. The Reno gave an angry
snort, and rushed madly forward
like a freed racer with whirlwind
speed right through the frey mass.
John held fast to the lever, closed
one eye, held his breath, and tried
to think of some prayer as he pass
ed in his checks, for he imagined
he could feel the hot rails bending
like lead under the wheels, and both .
heard and felt the blazing timbcrs !.
and other fallen Instructions on the
track Delng thrust aslue ny INC
trusty cow-catcher. The women
passengers screamed, and even the
stoutest hearted men quiverd with
fear as they dashed through the
fierce, hot light, but in another in
instant the terrible gauntlet was
passed, and they safely slowed down
in the cool, gray morning daylight
beyond.
Dirt, stones, and blazing bits of
timber on the cow-catcher, and the
shower of burning Goals covering
the train showed how dangerous
were the Instructions so safely
passed, yet they had rushed
through so quickly that the paint
on the passenger coaches was not
even scorched. John cannot rush
an engine through that tunnel to-
day, for every timber through its
entire length burned out as clean
as a shot gun, and huge cavings Of
earth and rock render it impossible
for many days.
