AN AWKWARD MISTAKE.-One of the po-
lice officers at the second station suffered
from the effects of an awkward but ludicrous
mistake Sunday. A market man whom he
had placed under obligations, told him Satur-
day that he needn't provide Sunday dinner.
for he would find turkey and fixings on his
doorstep ready to be served up. Visions of
sumptuous repast fitted through the mind of
the officer, and his mouth watered as he
thought of the good time coming He told
his associations of the present which he was
about to receive and also invited two of them
to dine with him. But when he returned
home that night there was no turkey there
However, he reasoned, sit will be here in the
morning." and he went to bed. The morn
ing came but brought with 1t no material for
cooking on Sunday. The good man began
to grow anxious and his wife was in an I'M
enviable dilemma as sSe realized that their
scanty larder supplied nothing which could
satisfy the appetites of three hungry men.
For while they talked the matter over WON
deringly, until a bright thought entered the
mind of the master of the house. The food
might have been sent to the wrong locality.
He grasped the directory and turned the
name, and, directly under it, that of another
person whose appellation was of the same as
his own buU who resided at the South End.
1t was the work of a moment to don his hat
and coat, and but few moments afterward in
tervened before his arrival at the house of his
kinsman. He pulled the bell hungrily and
inquired, "Have you got turkey here ?''
"Yes, certainly we have" replied the dazed
respondent, "and WEIR just about to sit down
to eat it." ''Eat itp' was the exclamation
'eat it I! Why, I've been pickering up my
mouth for that turkey almost every minute O
the past twelve hours. Where did you
get it?' 'That's mystery. Some good
soul left it on our doorstep last night, with
card addressed to us, and we took it in
Why, what's the matter?" 'tNothing /;
nothing is the matter. l only thought I'd
inquire as l was passing by, that's all. l
thought, perhaps, you might have turkey to-
day as it is the last day in the year. did in
tend to have one myself, but I've changed nv
mind. Good morning. 'sWon't you dine
with us?" ''No, / thank you; guess not
I've got friends waiting for me at home.
Good morning." But the sorely disguised
man wendell his way slowly homeward to tell
the story and apologize to his friends.-Bos-
ton Traveller.

THE PR ESS
A Romantic Wedding.

The Kansas City (Mo.) Times, of the Goth,
gives the following singular matrimonial adj
venture:
On Saturday evening last, Justice Sutton's
Office was the scene Of the termination OF
most romantic affair. A young ana very
pretty girl named Miss Almeda Cosgrove, re-
siding at San Diego, last summer responded
to an advertisement in the Wauerly M0gd-
zine for correspondence with a view to mat
rimony. The new correspondent of the
lady resided at Wathena, Kansas, and repre-
scented himself to be a merchant, young,
wealthy, honest, and in want of wife. A
long and loving correspondence ensued be-
tween Jerome Markham and Miss Cosgrove.
Photographs were exchanged, and Miss Cos
grove was delighted to find her unseen lover
good-lool1ing youth. Finally she consented
to become Mrs. Markham, and for economys
sake consented to come to Wathena to be
married. Being an orphan and without re-
straint she took the Central Pacific Railroad
about two weeks ago and started for Kansas.
All went well until she got on the Denver
Pacific. After leaving Cheyenne the train
struck drift ten feet high and three hun
dred yards in length, and became hopelessly
stuck fast.
While snow-bound near Crow Creek, Miss
Cosgrove attracted the attention of Mr.. Julius
Emmett commission agent of this city, who,
perceiving the young lady seated alone and
evidently unprovided for such an emergency,
very calamity rendered such assistance as was
in his power to give, which was vallse full
of cold food and two buffalo robes. The
young couple were soon on friendly, social
terms. Miss Cosgrove very naively recited
her wild adventures, and was rewarded by
Emmett informing her that he was single,
&c. By the time the Kansas Pacific train
had crossed the plains and was winding its
way over the fertile prairies of Kansas, the
young folks were firm friends. They parted
with regret at Wathena, when the young la
dy turned to meet for the first time him she
was to call her husband She had only mo-
ment to wait before rough-looking individu-
al, at least forty years of age, made himself
known as her correspondent and expectant
husband. Miss Cosgrove, finding she had
been deceived, turned without a word and
entered the car and came to Kansas City

FNHE above is an engraving of Steam Boiler con-
Il tanning 1900 feet of heating surface, built upon
new principle namely, that Of stopping the verticaI
circulation, accomplished by means of two horizon
tai didphrdgms running through the boiler, and
forming three water compartments. By this ar
rangement there is maintained three temperatures of
water.
The smoke and heated gases pass first through the
tubes in the upper compartment, then descend, and
return through the tubes in the second compartment
thence again descending they pass through the tubes
in the third compartment. By this operation, the
smoke, and heated gases from the furnace on their
tact with gradually decreasing temperatures of
water.
While doing average work, coupled with good
engine, it will supply steam for $50 indicated horse
power.
We will guarantee that this boiler will shew 80
per cent more power with the same weight of coal
than any boiler of the same heating surface in the
Market and will continue to do so as long as it is
used and we will back our guarantees with Gov
EMINENT BONDS.
The durability of this boiler is greater than any
other for the is that cold water is allowed
to in contact with the intensely heated surfaces
the feed water being gradually heated as it ascends
from the lower to the upper compartment.
We would especially call the attention of Railroad
men to the following facts, that while running this
boilerwith coal or wood the sparks are neutralzed
and none have ever left the smoke-stack chimney
which in itself is most valuable advantage, neveI
before realized.
Combining ourselves to practice and not theory we
invite all parties in want of Steam Boilers to give
call.
