Il WESTERN ROMANCE.

A Chicago reader sends the Dan
bu5.y NclcS the following account Of
an incident which occurred in a village
near that city:
Jonathan, the hero, was a country
store keeper. Amelia, the heroine.
was the young lady who kept the vii
lage school, and .boarded around
She frequently had occasion to visit
the store, and there Jonathan received
those impressions which ultimately de-
velOped into a strong passion for her.
He resolved to pay her 4 visit, and Sc
lected a SUNDAY evening for that pur-
pose. lie dressed himself very nicely
all but the pants. These were Of de
licious nanleens, but frequent clean
sing had qualified their length to such
degree that it was only through the
agency Of straps that he could keep
them down to where they belonged
Thus adorned, he waited until people
had gone to church, and then started
for the house She met him at the
door, rs the rest of the folks were at
church, and looked the pleasure she
had felt at bis coming He was in
vited to step into the parlor while she
went for a lamp. Confused, delighted
and embarrassed, Jonathan opened a
door and stepped briskIy in
There were two doors leading from
the entry. One of them led into the
parlor, and the other didn't. Jona-
than stepped through the one that
didn't, and went carecning into a very
dark cellar In the descent he struck
against a pole where the farmer had
hung a lot Of ox-bows to dry, and, the
pole losing its hold, dropped its con-
tents upon the miserable wretch, and
in his efforts to dodge them he stepped
off the stairs with one leg, and soused
into a barrel of some pulpy substance
and the nankecns parted in q very dis
agreeable place, and the unhappy wear
er crawled out and started on a mad
gallop for a window way, which he
reoained without further trouble, and
removing the sash. worked himselfinto
the open air Then he clutched that
part of the nankcens which were wound
cd. and danced towards home. The
Young lady preparing the lamp in
back room was permitted to catch
glimpse of flying figure in the moon
iiobt The next instant it was gone
and never returned. Jonathan is still
unwedded.

JOKE FROM MAX1DELER.


The following joke, from the pen
of our "old" friend Max, we takefrom
the Philadelphia Sunday Dispatch:
Kipp always had an idea that he
could invent a self-actlng sewing ma
chine; and he did. He procured a
steel ribbon spring about twenty feet
long. and of sufficient power to run q
horse car. This herigged nhis wite's
sewing machine with q lot of clock
work, and it appeared to him when he
finished the job that evening, that he
had realized his hopes, If any sewing
machine ever would go, that would
so he wound it up ready for use Ill
the morning and went to bed. At !
o'clock Mrs. kipp aroused him and
told him to listen to the burglars in
the house. He listened aid heard q
most terrific racket over in the sitting
room. 1t appeared to him that there
must be q million or more burglars re-
freshing themselves with prize fight.
SO he loaded his gun, crept softly
over, and pceped through a crack in
the door 1t was not burglars; ii w"S
Mrs. Kipp's sewing machine. The PEG
had slipped, and that spring was hay
ing full play. 1t would rear the ma
chine up on one end, and charge it
three or four times, like q battering
ram, against the glass front of the book
case. Then it would wheel around
and suddenly tear across the room
and butt ferocioUsly against the man-
telpiece; and it would lie down and
roll over the floor, and hammer the
sofa, and boost the centre table, and
try to jam a hole through the wall,
and endeavor to leap upon the chan
.delier And as Kipp entered the room
it few at him, and tore in and out be
tween his legs, the wheel revolving
like fury all the time, and the spring
gradually unwinding And then Kipp
retreated and then walked the family,
and got the mattress off the bed
Then thev covered the machine and
sat on it for a while, and finally pushed
it out Of the window into the yard,
where Kipp piled boxes and ash bar
rels and slop buckets and fence pail
ings on it to hold it still. But all
night, under the heap, it kept up q
continual buzz and snort and hum, so
that the next door neighbor fired at it
sixteen times with the impression that
it was cats. Kipp has since bought Il
new sewing machine, and his wife runs
it with her feet He has abandoned
the study Of mechanics for the pres

Gen. Grsn,'s Chief Justiee,

The President has rendered TO George
II. Williams OF Oregon, now Attorney
General, the appointment Of Chief JUS
tiee OF the Supreme Court and the
nomination has been sent to the Senate.
This is selection unfit to make Ii
i. on 4 par with Gen. Grants sys-
TEN OF degrading the offices Of thegov-
r''lent but it 10 most unfortunate that
rrl, system should be extended TO the
high iupclious of Chief Justice. Mr..
Williams is deficient alike in ability,
learning, and character. A native OF
central New York, he owes his promi-
nenc solely to his emigration. Had be
remained at home he could never have
been known as more than third-rate
country lawyer. He is the interior OF
every man on the beach to which il is
proposed to elevate him. His appoint.
nent is an insult TO the respectable bar
OF the country.
Ia the better days OF the Seuate go
unworthy nomination would have
been Indignantly rejected; bat now
there is little reason 10 expect anything
but servile compliance with the will OF
the President-N. y. Stm.
