A young London woman has had her
husband arrested for assaulting her while
walking hone from their marriage cere-
mony.
When 1t was known the other day In Du-

1t is a great pity that the charming
young ladies' now rusticating at Beersheba
dances with the young men, as the latter
are thereby deprived of an opportunity of
@making glad the waist places"
A Georgia paper recently contained the
following item in its society gossip: "The
amiable and delicious Miss Pilkington,
whose charms of mind and person have
turned the heads of our gallants, now does
her hair in braids, and patronizes this pa
per exclusively in her personal makeup"
The California ladies seem to be consti-
tu.ionaly thirsty, if the following remark,
made by lady at Cslistoga Springs, is any
criterion of the common feeling: "Lemon-
ade ? No, indeed Yesterday drank char
payne, buttermilk, lemonade with stick
in it, more champagne, Cslistoga punch,
more lemonade with hair oil or something
else in it, and was sick enough all night.
No, sir, shall stick to ce-water to-day"
The Brooklyn Union tells us that pre-
vious to leaving for Europe, Mr.. A. T.
Stewart made will. 1t was thought ad-
vlsable to prepare schedule of his real
and personal estate. Upon the completion
OF the schedule, much to the surprise of Mr..
Stewart, and TO the greater surprise of his
friends, it was found that he was worth
one hundred millions of dollars. The
truth OF the foregoing statement is well au-
thentieated.
The Clinton Iowa. Register asks: "Why
should the poor widow be compelled to pay
$65 for sewing machine that costs the
manufacturer only SIS" Congress should
pass law prohibiting the hurting of such
infammatory conundrums among the
masses. They are calculated to hurt the
feelings of saving machine agents; and cold
and cruel indeed mus be the heart which
would hurt the feelings of sewing machine
sgent.-COmier Journal.
a candid young man, who courted her
for her money alone, thus tells of the
things he didn't do:
did not love your yellow hair,
Or skin of tawny hue;
never said your hand was fair,
Or that your eyes were blue.
did not call your figure fine,
Or praise your tiny feet;
Nor, when to song you did incline,
Declare your voice was sweet
did not WOO as others WOO,
With VOWS both weak and rash;
For every charm saw in YOU
Was told in one word-Cash
A chap with poetical turn of mind,
has this to say about young lady whom
he saw bathing:
Her cheek hath caught ruddier stain,
And her small feet, in sand that sink,
And marble-white, with many vein
Down to the almond nails Of pink.
The waves that have shrined her radiant form
Must be humanized by the sanity touch,
And will spare for her sake in the next great
storm
Some proud ship from their clutch
That's all very nice, OF course, but the
waves referred to, are not going to be fool
ed out of their regular pastime by any
such CANNON, AMI the "proud ship which
is caught out Gin the next great storm" will
be no safer than if that girl hadn't gone
bathing.
