An African Horse Trade.

Mr.. Gerard, now OF Philadelphia, but
formerly American Consul Mt Cape
Town, Cape OF Good Hope, communi.
Gates TO the Press OF the former city
the following reminiscence Of his Afri.
can consular experience
"There is q very singular custom
among the farmers-how to get wife.
II you desire to get married, you should
first make inquiry whether the lady
you love has q horse II so, you must
ask her whether she has q horse for
sale. II she says No, then you had
better quit the house at once. She
does not like you. But If, on the con.
trary, she says Yes, it is q good sign,
but she will ask you very high price.
II the amount named is paid on the
spot, the engagement is concluded, rs
fully as II marriage was consummated
by the parson.
'"on my arrival at the Cape, I did
not know OF this custom. / wanted to
purchase horse, and l was informed
by an old Dutch resident that Widow
- had one to sell, I followed the
address given, and soon arrived ut the
door OF the widow (who, by the way,
was not bad.looking). l asked her
whether she hOd a horse to sell. She
looked OF me very sharp then she ask
cd mo whether I had some letters OF in.
PRODUCTION. I said that was the Amer.
ican Consul, and would pay cash for
her horse. In this case, said she.
letters are not necessary. 1 paid
down the sum demanded; then, after
taking n cup Of coffee, she sent htr
horse by her groom, and both accom-.
panied mo home. On the road, the
groom asked me thousand questions.
Master, said he, will my mistress go
live with you in town, or will you come
live with us2 You will love my mis-.
tress, for she was very kind to my old
master Qaughing). where will the
wedding be?' docking ut me and
laughing). Truly thought, the
poor fellow has drank too much or he
Is m imbecile.' I felt sorry for him.
When arrived home I found many
people at my door congratulating me,
not for tho Horse, but for the acquaint.
ance Of the widow. really did not
know what it ment, and I began to be
very uneasy, when, to my very great
surprise, lady alighted on my steps,
and at once I recognized the widow |
She very coolly asked me when I desir.
ed the ceremony Of the Wedding per-
formed. Then, indeed, I fully per-
ceived the scrape in which I was, and l
told her frankly that it was q horse I
wanted, and not wife. What, said
she, do you mean to act thus to lady
like mo? II so, I shall send back for
my horse. and will repay you tho
money In n few hours her groom was
at my door with the money. l gladly
gave back the horse, thankful to have
thus escaped. A few weeks after, how
ever, the widow was married +; q more
ambitious man had bought her horse. T"

NeuralgIa-l1orrible Suffering.

Thirty years ago, there used to be q
great deal OF discussion whether neural
gia was q new disease, or only new
name for an old disease. II it had ex-
listed any considerable length OF time
before then, it certainly, about that
time, became much more common.
Old people in tho Middle and Eastern
States, who had never in their lives
heard OF such o thing, were suddenly
attacked, and for years suffered the
most excrutiating torture, The pain
was intermittent I; in some cases occur
ring at regular, and in others at ire
gular intervals.
But the disease was more prevalent
among the young-and We think more
among females than males. Very pos
sibly the reason why women were more
subject TO 1t was to be found in the in.
feriority, in point Of warmth, in their
clothing. The late DIR. jackson, Of
Philadelphia-acquired good deal Of
celebrity for his success in treating
neuralgia. Young ladies from remote
parts Of the country repaired to Phila-
delphia to consult him and the first
thing that he prescribed for them, gene
rally, was warmer shoes and stockings
