CRIMES AND CASUALTIES.

Seth Greene, the well-known piscicul-
turist, together with eight other men, was
drowned by the upsetting of sail boat on
the st. Lawrence, off Simicoe Island, on
Nov. 5.
A tragic affair occurred recently in Lo-
noke county, Ark, by which three men, in
endeayoring to arrest two negro hog
thieves, were fired upon by another party
of negroes in ambush, and all OF them
killed and afterwards robbed of all their
valuables. No arrests had been made.
Information reached Fort Sill, Nov. 6,
that party of Indians attacked and burn
ed Whalley's rancho, a few miles from Red
River station, the previous day, killing
one man and driving away considerable
stock. Two men belonging to party OF
surveyors were reported to have been
killed thirty-fve miles west of Fort Rich
ardson. The depredators were believed to
be Cheyennes who are known to have
been off their reservation. The Mescalero
Apaches from the west had crossed over
the borders of New Mexico, and were

Wedding Nobility.

The Paris correspondent of the Boston
Journal writes: The journals here an
nounce the marriage of a New I 1ork young
lady to Partisan yieonlte, and there are
many and varied comments going the
rounds in consequence. The fact is that
so few of these mixed alliances have been
fortunate, so far as mutual happiness goes,
that people may well wonder when they
find parties so venturesome as to encoun-
ter the risk of such union. You see, as
a rule, the neblemen who wed the Ameri-
can bellies doiso for consideration, and as
this is sOmeWhatat variance with our man
ners and customs, we mutually are aston
ished to find girls willing to make such a
barter, and parents so weak as to allow OF
such a sacrifice. These European titled
young men are for the most part dissipated,
reckless fellows. over head and ears IN
debt, who count upon such marriage to
get square and have fresh start. Surely
the American girls must be well aware OF
all this, and it must be their pride and not
their reason; which obtains the mastery
when they consent to give up all that
which trueehearted woman desires, mere
" that they may have title. Be madame
La countesse or haronne, and for that much
qualification be the wife of scapegrace, q
spendthrift, who sells his title. Of course

with such deplorable results; in fact, am

the State these many years, and have
openly bought votes, Representatives and
political influence. tits hardly necessary
to say that their influence on politics and
public morals has been vicious in the ex-
treme. Thus State, small in extent, but
with a greater valuation than the great
State of Georgia, has been debauched and
poisoned through all its system.
1t is said that Rrown & Ives hold
Sprague aeceptances for a largs<amount,
and viii press them for payment, but self
interest viii probably restrain them from
striking such q blow at communities in
which they themselves are largely inter-
ested. The assets of the Spragues, instead
of their liabilities, are now put at ST., ,000,-
900, and their debts at ST., 200, 900.
No one doubts, we suppose, the ex-
istence of vast and valuable properties in
their hands, but the impossibility of realiz-
ing on them makes them momentarily
poor. The absolute failure and the stop
page of their industries would be an ull-
PARALLEL disaster in the history of Ameri-
can manufactures. .-SpringJfetd Mass Re

A Profitable Real Estate Speculation.

Says the Kansas City Times of Nov. 5 !:
On the west side of the street leading
down from the Bluff street bridge to the
Union Depot, in Kansas City, stands a
small frame house, which before the street
was graded up stood upon props or stilts.
1t is called the ssIexas and Colorado Sa-
loon.n This house has had a board nailed
upon it for some time, upon which was was,
lnfartoSt ssrftt tor fgss4e
A few days ago a stranger entered the
house, and after brief conversation with
Louis Mezzadre, the old Frenchman own
ing the saloon, concluded the purchase,
and yesterday afternoon called upon the
proprietor with witnesses to cOnsummate
the trade. The terms of the trade were
| these: The purchaser, Mr.. Clew, was to
pay Mazzadre 500 in cash for the house
and all it contained, with the exception of
Mezzadre's trunk and his clothing. This
agreement was repeated over in the pres
enee of witnesses, and the sale effected and
the money paid over. 1t was now that
the strange and singular part of the trans
action took place. The owner asked for a
hatchet, and before any one could imagine
what he was about to do, he walked to a
certain place in the wall, known only to
himself, and proceeded to chop away the
plastering, and in short time dragged
bag of gold containing $1,000. Before the
crowd present could realize what was the
matter or how this strange discovery had
been made, the strange man had got on
| board of the eastern bound North Missouri
train, then leaving the depot, and started
East. The question naturally suggests
| itself, Whose money was 1.-THE mans
| who sold or the mans who purchased the
house? Who put it there, and how did
| the stranger know of it? It is one of the
most singular transactions in real estate
ever brought to public notice in Kansas
City.
Since the above was written it has been
discovered that the old Frenchman had
gold and silver sufficient stored away in a
/ keg beneath the house to purchase the
| finest residence in Kansas City. An old
servant states that the old miser had
brought this gold and silver with him from
Texas where he had accumulated it sud
denly and in a most mysterious manner.
/ Some say he obtained it on the Mexican
frontier others assert it was the result of
several years trading among the Indians.
But wherever he obtained it, he succeeded
! in keeping his treasure secret and paid
taxes upon none of it. He is now on his
| way to France.

/" Hifalutin."

Some people seem always to talk from
stllts. What they say, therefore, goes over
| the heads of their hearers, either because
their ideas or their words are not under
stood. The habit of using long words,
| because they are long, is very common,
and as disagreeable as it is common. Itis
said that in old times ministers used to
make q point Of getting into every sermon
at least one word they had first seen dur
ing the week before, and which they were
pretty certain none of their hearers would

There is a story of a very learned man

asked little boy what a square was.
Why, it's square, he replied
''But define it, insisted the learned

The boy was ready to admit at once that

Fashions in Greenland.

buae, with the Juniata expedition, says of
the Greenlanders, that to one ignorant OF
their style Sof dress and the similarity of
dress of both sexes, it would be difficult to
distinguish, the man from the woman. The
man combs his hair straight down and over
his forehead, only parting it sufficiently to
enable him, to see directly ahead OF him,

plait, forming it into a knot on top OF the
head, which Is elevated about four inches
