An Extraordinary Story.
A MAN MARRIED TO ANOTHER NAN
SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO, AND NOW
ASKS FOR A DIVORCE.

The Carlinville correspondent
of the st. Louis Democrat relates
the following story, the circum-
stances Of which, while they are
exceedingly sensational can be
vouched for by persons residing in
that city:
One of the most remarkable
divorce cases on record has begun,
and is to be tried at the August
term of the Macupin county Cir
cult Court. The parties have
lived together for seventeen years
known to the world as husband
and wife. The reputed husband
now files bill, alleging the So
called marriage to have taken
place in Macoupin county in 1855,
and praying for. a divorce on the
ground that the person to whom
he was then formally married is
not a woman, although previous
to and at the time of said reputed
marriage he was induced TO be-
lieve the person aforesaid TO 7bea
woman. If the allegations of the
bill and outside parties are true,
the trial will show the extraordi-e
nary case of two men having
lived together for this long period
of time, in the character Of hus-
band and wife, an instance, in
other words, in which a natural
eunuch has been able to personate
the female character and as such
to 60 through the solemn external
forms of marriage, and then con-
tinue for many years 10 deceive
neighbors; and even intimate
friends as to his real sex. The
complainant alleges that his igno-
rance of the laws ofthis country
Che being a Germany, and the ad-
vice of supposed competent par
ties, prevented him from fling a
bill for release long ago from the
bondage Of this pseudo marriage.
AS the parties have accumulated
considerable property, it will be
point Of great interest for the
court to decide upon its equitable
division, in case Of a dissolution of
the curious co-partnership. ~

The Fine Art of Smiling.

Why do we not always smile when
we meet the eye of q fellow be-
ing! That is the true, intended
recognition which ought to pass
from soul to soul constantly. Lit
tie children in simple communities
do this involuntarily unconscious
ly. The honest-hearted German
peasant does 1t. It is like magi-
cal sunlight all through that simple
land, the perpetual greeting on
the right hand and on the left,
between strangers as they pass by
each other, never without smile.
This, then, is"the fine art of smil-
ing" like all fine arts, protection
of art. the simplest following Of
Nature.
Now and then one sees face
which has kept its smile pure and
undefled. It is a woman's face
unusually; often a face which
has tracesof sorrow all over it
till the smile breaks. Such a
smile trans6gures; such a smile,
if the artful did not know it, is
the greatest weapon a face can
have. Sickness and age cannot
turn it's edge; hospitality and dis
trust cannot withstand it's spell
little children know it and smile
back; even dumb animals come
closer and look up for another.
If we were asked TO SUM up in
one simple rule what would most
conduce to beauty in the human
face, we would say, therefore:
"Never tamper with your smile ;
never once use it for purpose.
Let it be on your face like the
reflection of the sunlight on the
lake. Afectionate goodwill to
all men must be the sunlight, and
your face is the lake. But unlike
the sunlight, your goodwill must
be perpetual, and your face must
never be overcast"
A smile can be indicated by a
movement of muscles, so light that
neither instruments nor terms ex-
ist to measure or state it; in fact,
the subtlest smile is little more
than an added brightness to the
eve and a tremulousness to the
| mouth. One second of time is
more than long enough for it; but
eternity does not outlast it!

GRASS BRowS.-A gentleman was
walking behind couple Of darkies,
night or two ago, while they were dis.
cussing the campaign. Said ore TO the
other:
"Jess tink, now; who ever taught
Horace Greeley would turn Democrat ?"
at the same time applying an epithet to
the wood.chopper Of Chappaqua as viru-
lent as inelegant. His companion, who
had listened with great interest to his
remarks, after holding his breath for
few moments, enquired earnestly Of the
candidate for the Vice.Presidency of the
Liberal cause IN this wise:
"But John, who is dis yer Grass
Brown, any how? I nebber heerd talk Of
him fore.
"Grass Brown" exclaimed the darkey
to whom the query was addressed,
"Grass Brown! Grass Brown! Oh, e amt
nobody; an if he am too wiry, We
gwine cut um down dis fall, sure"

THEIR HEARTs.-During the lat

THEIR HEARTs.-During the late
civil war it was considered ne
cessary in Cynthiana to keep a
few soldiers at that place. One
night two of them happened to
stray into the church of the COL
ored people just as the minister
was concluding an invitation to
any one who was inclined to
"come in and join the church" J"
After he had finished, these two
soldiers got up, walked forward, !,
and presented themselves for ad-
mission; whereupon the preacher
said:
"Breddren, dis is cullud church,
and 1 dunno as Is any 'thority to
take in white folks"
At this point an elderly uncle
rose in the congregation, and
CALCULATED: -,
"Take 'em in brudder Jilson,
take 'em in dar skins is white,
dat's fact, but dar hearts is jis as
black as our'n, suah."

Tickl;Sh Table Talk.

! AH ~-'i' '"S'i'S St''o 40 PSe e~'
one Of our leading hotels recently,
in which, although the party claim
ing to have been injured was not at
all interested, goes to show "wbat
might have been" A gentleman
connected with a prominent bank
ing house in this city, going to
rather a late dinner, found at one
Of the tables where he occupies a
scat, two young gentlemen in all
the glories OF new ready-made
clothes, and who had evidently
come in from some fourishing
country city for the purpose Of
having a limited good time. Their
conversation was principally up
on the conquests they had. or
fancied they had, made. Suddenly
no. l broke out:
20, Frank, you remember about
that Mrs. Mason, that We read
about in the papers t'other day?"
"Well, yes; why ??
"Sentmy card to her last night"
"No, did ye thought"
"Did, for a fact. She came down
into the parlor, and we had quite
chat. She's gay"
"Ob, you rascal"
Then followed sundry words,
winks, and further conversation,
in which the name of the lady
did not appear to great advantage
as a loving and faithful wife. At
this juncture the banking gentle
man looked up, and with an air
Of one injured, mixed with one
Of settled, stern, but mild ferocity,
said:
"It is perhaps my duty, gentle
men, before this thing goes any
further, to inform you that the
lady whose name you arc using
with such gross familitary is my
wife"
This was percussion shell, and
silence reigned for the space Of a
few seconds. One of the young
fellows turned pale, while the
other assumed a roseate hue.
Then they exchanged eolors, and
stammered ont some half.uttered
words.
"Yes," continued the gentleman,
'and have always supposed that
some little eccentricities Of my
wife would not be taken advantage
OF, OR subject her either to rude
conduct Or outrageous insults. I
have the right to demand an
apology" s: g. T.. ~.
The waiter coming up at that
moment, asked them what they
would have for dessert. With a
sickly smile one Of them fixed his
eyes upon frozen custard, while the
other was entirely absorbed with
jelly.
Then they said they guessed
they didn't care about anything
more, and sneaked foolishly out.
When the banker came out, be
found them in the hall, looking as
if they had just been engaged in
settling delicate question. One
| advanced and said: "That was all
confounded nonsense, you know"
"What was nonsense ?"
"Why, bout my having an in
terview with your wife. Just
got it up as joke on Frank. 1
am sorry for it,"
Hew then read a severe lesson
by a man who had never seen the
lady in question in his life, and
told that hereafter he should be
extremely cautious how he allow
ed his tongue to wag in such an
unlicensed manner. And why
should he not?
