A NEW CONFIDENCE GAME.-A we'll
dressed young man stopped at Vermont
hotel recently, for few days, and made
acquaintance. The evening of the sec
ond day of his arrival, nice young lady
came along, unattended, and instantly at
tracted the attention of the impossible
youngsters, who canvassed her charms
fully as they sat apart from her at supper.
The stranger youth even went so far as to
say that he would marry her if she would
have him, and offered, for substantial
wager, to pop the question and have the
marriage ceremony performed right away.
The wager was accepted, and also the
proposal of marriage, made so suddenly
to her by the young man, and the parson
called in, who soon united the twain.
The sum wagered was paid over to the
happy bridegroom, and he and his bride
set off next day on their marriage tour.
What lends romance to the circumstance
is the fact that the young couple had al
ready been man and wife for year.

just crooked enough, and the staple just
long enough below the yoke, to have the

An Impalpabie Hat-Rack.

One of the best things in the shape of
a practical joke was not long since perpe-
trated by Tim STARTER. Old STARTER,
pGter .fanoaLSGS, is merchant wealthy and
aristocratic, and it is his desire that moth
ing derogatory to his dignity shall find
foothold in his family, or fasten itself
upon any member thereof In his boy
hood Tim conceived a strong passion for
the fine arts, and desired much to become
painter; but his father would not per
NIT it. His son must either choose one
of the learned professions, or follow ia
his footsteps and become merchant. In
spite of the paternal edict, however,
young STARTER cultivated his talent, and
in the studio of an artist friend he spent
many pleasant hour with brush and
pallet in hand.
A few weeks since Mr. STARTER moved
into his new house on the avenue, and
on the occasion he gave grand Frecep-
ton to party of select friends. A hat
rack had been ordered for the front hall,
but it had not been delivered, and on the
forenoon of the day of the party word
was sent up by the furnisher that the
rack could not be finished before the fol-
lowing day. Tim heard the message,
and straightway the idea of joke enter
ed into his head. He got his paint and
his brushes, and upon the blank wall
of the hall he painted hat rack, and he
did it with such force and accuracy of
effect that every part stood out in relief
as bold as though the solid wood had
| been set there.
The first man to arrive was pdter .fanaSl-
Sds himself. He saw the rack against the
wall, and, having removed his beaver, he
essayed to hang it upon one of the pegs.
The hat fell on the floor. The old gentle
man picked it up, and tried another peg,
and with like result.
"Bless my souli" he exclaimed, picking
up his hat second time, 'twhat can this
mean?" He was about to try third
peg, when his daughter, shaking with
merriment, informed him, Dear papa,
that is not hat-stand at all; it is only
one of Tins tricks.'
Had Master Tim been at hand he might
have got taste of the paternal indigna-
| ton; but when, later, the guests began to
arrive, and we're in like manner deceived
by the phantom stand, old STARTER enter
ed into keen enjoyment of the thing,
and not only forgave his son the trick he
had played, but suffered him, for amuse-
ment, to pursue his artistic studies.-

There is some hope that the problem
which confronts Great Britain on ac-
count of the great increase in the price of
fuel may be solved by utilizing the i'm
mense peat supplies of Ireland. A COM
pany has been formed in Dublin, under
the auspices of the lord mayor and other
wealthy citizens, which will undertake
to prepare the peat for use by means of
Mr.. Bax's plan, which is believed to be
practicable and economical. The expert
ment is also to be tried in Kerry, where
Mr.. Herbest, M. P, has organized a COM
pany.
