A BULL FIeHr.--A remarkable trial took place
on I .esday in the arbitration room before refe-
rees, ia which Ephraim Miller was plaintiff, and
Samuel Brosous defendant, both farmers in Sha-
mokn township. The case was known as Eph-
rain NInler's "Gittle Bull Suit ,"iu the neighbor-
hood. The young animal was precocous if not
intelligent, and had been borrowed, according to
the defendant, from Ephraiin's house.keeper
without his knowledge. Ephraim alledged that,
like human bipeds when not properly re-
strained, he became "hreachy" and uncontrol-
able after that event. The result was the bull
was brought to the executiouer's alias butchers
block, hence an action oftrespass TO recover da-
images for his early and premature death. The
evidence OF several of the witnesses was received
with roars OF laughter, which was varied ocea-
sionally with yocifcrous bellolcing and animated
discussion on points of evidence by the counsel,
accompanied by thumps on the table that would
have astonished even the bulls Of Basham refer
rcd to in the holy book. The arbltrators, after a
short deliberation, decided against Ephrain, and
brought in an award of ''no cause of action"
The case, we understand, will ''go up" into
Court. The ''bulls" aud ''bears''of Wall street,
New York, have had many exciting and interest
ing fights orer stock operations, but none that
will compare in point of broad fun aud amuse-
rent with the operations referred TO in this suit.

And though folks says she's sweet on me,

Marriage i'm Paris.

The marriage customs of the working
classes, singular in some respects, have
not changed during the last forty years;
while marriages among the upper classes
have been gradually losing the domestic
and private character which formerly
attached to them. To-day, as forty years
ago, the working man or the small
tradesman goes in a great carriage,
specially reserved for such occasions, to
tie church where the religious service is
TO be performed. A visitor TO any Of
the large livery stables Of Paris would
not fail to be struck by one remark.

agreed that General Gordon should try
the Federal strength on the following
day. Sheridan was in command oppo-
site General Gordon. In accordance
with the programme, Gordon made his
demonstration the next day, and was
met by Sheridan's cavalry, which he
gallantly repulsed; but finding Sheridan
well supported by large numbers of in
fantry, fell back and sent this intelli-
gence to General r. Z. Lee. Upon its
receipt, General Lee ordered the firing
to cease, and displayed the white flag,
under which the surrender was sub
sequently made. During the cessa-
ton of hostilities, and while Gen
erals Grant and Lee were in con-
sultation, General Sheridan, with large
retiuue of officers and men-about one
hundred in all-was seen approaching

When the religious ceremony is CON
ately convey bride, bridegroom, parents,

monster restaurants Of the faubourgs OF
the banlieue, which is specially famous
for their wedding feasts. After the
feasts the same string Of carriages pro-
ceeds to the Bois de Boulogne, at the en-.
trance TO which the party, with the bride
and the bridegroom at their head, alight
and walk in procession through the
park. A young woman Of the humber
ranks of Paris life would not believe that
sne was really married il this state visit to
the Bois was omitted. Marriages in
high life, on the other hand. assume the
character of religious and musical
fete. Invitations upon beautifully printed
paper are issued for the religious cere.
mony, Ladies aud gentlemen respond
by appearing in elegant merning dresses,
except those favored individuals who
are to be placed nearest to the altar,
and who are in evening dress. Until
lately the musical performances were
limited TO few strains from the organ,
played upon the entrance and departure
Of the wedding party, but now the CON-
position of the musical selection has be-
come one Of the great questions con-
nected with the religious ceremony of
marriage. The church at the same
time is handsomely decorated and
brilliantly lighted, and, with all
these elegantly dressed ladies con-
versing in low tones behind their
fans, the gentlemen walking about ex-
changing smiles and recognition, almost
resembles a saloon where some acting
charade is being performed, in which a
young man dressed in black, and
young woman dressed in white, repre-
sent two beings whose fates are to be
united. When the ceremony is COM
pleted, a few hurried congratulations
are offered, and the ladies leave by the
great door of the church, where the
carriages, summoned by the shouts OF
the attendant footmen, await them,
while the gentlemen, indulging in most
worldly conversation, scrutinize at lei
sure the toilets and salute the wearers.
A foreigner who happened to light upon
such scene might well imagine himself
the dispersion of an audi
ence which had beeen attending the first
of a new play.
