The Milwaukee Wisconsin of Jan. Goth
tells the following roman tic story, which
it vouches for as strictly true:
"The Newhall House was the scene,
yesterday, of a matrimonial occurrence,
which for neatness and dispatch in exc
cution challenges comparison. On the
noon train there came to this city two
gentleman from Kenosha, the Right
Rev. Father Doherty, and young man
bearing the aristocratic name of Des-
mond. They Immediately betook them.
selves to the Newhall House, and, as
room as they had registered their names,
the reverend gentleman asked to see
Miss Fanny Cary, one of the mattresses
OF the hotel. Although she was at the
time engaged in waiting on the table,
his business appeared to be SO urgent
that she was summoned from the din
ing.room and met Rev. Doherty in the
hall. After exchanging the usual COM
pliments and benedictions of the
season, the clergyman, who, it seems,
had long been acquainted with Miss
Cary, told her, without further explana-
tons, that young gentleman friend of
his, who accompanied him, was about
to settle down in life, had made his for
tune, ard, having determined to take a
partner, for better or for worse. had
consulted him as to an eligible person.
That he had Immediately suggested that
Fanny Cary was just the person for the
place, and that Desmond, on the
strength Of his recommendation, had
decided to offer himself to her and
bring about, if possible, an immediate
contamination of the matter. After
stating these facts, the reverend father
made a formal proposal to the young
girl in behalf of Desmond. The proposal
was accepted. Desmond was summoned.
the couple, who had never seen each |
other before, we're introduced, and II |
vas decided that as soon as possible |
they should be made two souls with
but single thought, two hearts that
beat as one Accordingly, by 4 O'Clock
he ceremonies we're performed by the
Rev. Doherty, and without waiting for
the newly.married
couple set out for Fox Lake, the resi-.
lence of Desmond.

AnecdOte Of Wigfall.

A Texas correspondent sends the fol-
lowing, saying it has not appeared in
print: Mr.. Louis 7. Wigfall, one of the
leading secessionists Of Texas and the
South, felt, after Lees surrender, some.
what embarrassed az to his corporal

1t may be interesting to the public to
know that the sensational cannon trick
now performed ut the Royal Holborn
amphitheater IL just 90 years old, and
that an account of II may be found in
The "Annual Register" of l772. A
correspondent of that publication de-
scribes the new feat "of a mans stand.
ing the shot Of a cannon at small dis.
lance, with a method of doing it with
safety" A man boosted that he could,
at 10 yards distance, stand the shot of q
nine FOUNDER cannon charged with q
full quantity of powder and a proper
ball. His friends, not desiring to be
accessory 10 his death, desired him not
to oppose his body when the cannon
was fired. but to catch the ball in his
hand. This he did, receiving no hurt,
although the ball was of full weight,
and the loudness of the explosion left
no doubt but that he had put in the
full charge of powder. The secret is to
put very little of the powder behind
the ball and the rest in front of it, the
wadding being put in last of all, and
rammed down tight. The writer who
discovered this trick to the world thinks
that, for fear Of accidents, it is better
to practice against thin deal boards
but as the fear of accident is the chief
charm of modern entertainments, and
as in this case the life of the principal |
performer depends entirely upon great |
accuracy in loading, the original form
of the trick is perhaps the best for pur-
poses Of amusement. We do not know |
whether the feat, as performed at the
Holborn amphitheater, is done in this
way, but the thing looks probable

To my side, intent to place.

Reading there q promise bright,
And hope Of coming CHI Ger.
