Died--ylarried.
SUNDAY night my wife she died,
Monday she was buried;
Tuesday | a courting went,

sunday night my wife she died,
Monday she was buried
Tuesday courting went,
And Wednesday got married"
The old song has had practical illus
tration in Nicholas county. On Sunday
the 9th of April, jackson Allen, of that
county, lost his wife. She was buried
on Monday, and on the next day, Tues
day, the griefsiricken husband perfected
arrangements for another Mrs, Allen,
and on Wednesday the parties were uni
ted in marriage at Abderdeen. The en-.
terprising groom is forty years of age,
and has four children, and Mrs. Allen,
No. 2, is seventeen. The neighbors, in
cxtenuation of Mr.. Aliens unnatural
conduct, say that it was the dying re-
quest of the first wife that her husband
should marry the young lady in ques-
ton "a Miss Lowe, who had attended
her in hsr sickness) the day she was bu-
ried. The alfectionate husband came
within two days of complying with the
dying wife's request-GeOrgctown Times.

Narrow Escape at Niagara Falls.

From the Niagara Falls Gazette, May n.
An exciting incident occurred on the
river last Friday evening. Four young
men-James Parkinson, p. Walker.
William Lahey and John O'Brien-
started out of Chippewa with. an ordi-
nary row boat, and made for Port Day,
on this side of the river. Through
some miscalcu]ation the quartette
eventually found themselves in a most
dangerous part of the river channel
between the Wing" and Goat Island,
nearly opposite the residence of Mrs.
P. A. Porter. The stream at this poidt
is very swift, and flows direct for the
American fall. There is no chance for
q boat to make the head of Goat Island
after getting once fully under the force
of these currents. These boys were
we'll aware of the hopelessness of
making any safe landing below, and
they labored at the oars with that fierce
energy which despair can only arouse.
For long time it seemed as though
their efforts would prove fruitless and
that they were doomed to certain de.
struction. A large number of people
collected on the banks of the river and
Goat island, and watched every move
made by the desperate boys with the
most intense anxiety. The boat was
finally brought out from the influence
OF the river currents, and slowly Creep
ing up the channel brought hardly less
relief to those who were helpless spec
tators than to the thoroughly.frig ht-
ened occupants of the little craft.

A Funny !Xistake.

A married Johnny went marching
home blind drunk the other night, and
thought he was climbing into the win
dow OF his house, but got into the hog
pen instead, where a fat porker lay
quietly snoozing. Taking off his
clothes, he hung them over the trough.
and laid him down beside his g Betsy. y
as he thought. After grumbling awhile
at Betsy for breathing 80 loud, he be
gan feeling around for the cover, and
soliloquized:
"Mighty Gums. Kiver must O fallin

The mans wife, attracted by the
noise, appeared upon the scene at this
critical moment, and managed to get
her inebriate lord into the house, he
muttering the while:

How to Dispose or the Indians.

The trouble that We have had with
the Modocs brings to mind plan for
settling the Indian question, which a
frontiersman once impaired: eff I
WIZ the government" said he, "I'd
buy lots OF barrels of whisky, and lots
O. big knives, and I'll put 'cm out
soznewhar in the West, an invite every
devilish redskin in the hull land to
what they called q conference. After
they'd got thar I'd knock in the head
o the barrels, and scatter the knives oil
round loose, So they'd be handy. Then
Ia 60 away and leave the Injuns to
themselves. OF course they'd take
the whisky and the knives, and before
shutdown thar wouldn't be more than
one redskin left, and then Til 90 and
knock his brains out afore he could do
any more damage. That sir's, the
only real way to settle the Iniun cues
ton. I've been among 'em an I know.
Plenty OF whisky an long knives III fix
EN- out, an nothing else will"
In this humorous suggestion as to
the ending of our Indian troubles there
is pungent sarcasm leveled at the
use of liquor as beverage. The sar-
cssm is all the more severe because
the result of the experiment which is
humorously suggested would be pretty
nearly realized were it to be tried.

A Magician's Trick.
Tho following story is told of Buf.

Inc 1ollOWlng story Is told OF Bur
falo man:
"While MacAllister, the wizard, was'
on visit last summer at Detroit, he
concluded to pass on the Great West
crn Railroad to Niagara Falls. At
Windsor his baggage, which consisted
OF trunk anil hand valise, had been
properly inspected and marked in the
Custom House. Now the Professor is
a gentleman not easily imposed upon;
so when the train arrived at the bridge
tho Custom House officer came
through the train, jostling passengers
valises and making himself rather ia
milier with baggage Which had already
been properly inspected. Approaching
MacAiiistcr he requested him to open
his hand valise to see what its cont nts
were. The Professor plainly showed
him the Custom House mark. How
ever, to convince him, McAllister
opened his valise, and had the morti.
ficatiOn of seeing his toilet articles dis
played to public view. A meaning
twinkle was in the Professor's
eye when he remarked to the officer:
why, my dear sir, it seems strange
that man holding the position you do
should be carrying American imports
on your person without paying the reg
ular duties. The Custom House officer
wished to know if he was to be in.
suited. Not at all, said MacAllister,
and, suiting the action to the words,
the Professor took from under his coat
a bottle of the best old Kentucky Bour-
bon whisky. This had fearful effect
on the passengers, who roared with
laughter. Nov, said MacAllister, Il
shall be obliged to confiscate this prop.
erty, and taking out q corkscrew from
his pocket he opened the bottle and
passed the contents around amongst
the many passengers. The Custom
House officer left the coach IN disgust
amidst roars of laughter. This is only
one of the. little tricks that MacAllister
plays when an opportunity OCCURS"

Bayard Taylor Coins O New German
Word.

Bayard Taylor, who is acting at the
Vienna Exposition as the correspondent
OF the New York Tribune, made quite
q sensation at the banquet given to the
press, Just before the opening of the
Exposition, by speech, which was re-
ceived with the most enthusiastic an.
piause. One of the most felicitons
events of the speech was the coinage Of
q new German word. Mr.. Taylor said:
{" 1t is to me the expression of closer
union OF the press in all lands, in order
to extirpatc old prejudices, to further
peaceful and instructive comparisons
in politics, society, and literature. and
finall VI might almost say,-to inau-
gurate kind of universal world. socia-

A Texas MOcking Rirtl.

I strolled out, says q correspondent,
after supper, into the post oak grove
east of town, aud noted the changes of
scenery and vegetation from that I had
seen a few days before. I heard sud-
denly from the depth of the woods the
long, quavering cry of the wild turkey.
1t was repeated again and again, but
each time growing longer and more ny
like any sound made by the turkey, till
by almost imperceptible degrees it
changed to the cooling of dove then
it broke suddenly into the lively rat
Ting tones of the brown thrush, and
again slowly died away to the melan.
choly cry of the cat-bird, from which,
after q few preliminary tweets and
dourishes it turned to q strain which
might pass for an imitation, with
lengthy dwelling on the vowel sounds
OF the melancholy repeat:
I'm dre-c-c-amjng now of Halii-e-c,
Swc.e-ct Halle, swc-e-et Halli.ce."
Again the sounds became longer and
longer, turning to a mere vail, which
ended in quick chuckle and turned
again to the soft cooling of the dove.
1t was the Texas mocking- bird. They
abound Mt this season in all the groves
along the Trinity, and I am told that
focks of the birds known to the north
ern people pass the winter there.
