Browns Wseden Wedding.


Brown, . young Insurance friend of ours,
who lives In Cambridge, had tho fifth ami.
versary Of his wedding occur about week
his wooden wedding by surprise party.
Brown came In yesterday and told us how
they succeeded. They commenced by send
Ing Q servant round with team to take
Brown and his wife out to ride at about 7.
Then they began 10 come with presents aud
materials for supper. There was little
party Of five came first, all laden-hands full.
They oil got nicely inside the garden gate,
which shuts with spring, when Browns blg
matif, who Is always left unclaimed In his
masters absence, came round tho corner and
surprised them. One woman stepped on her
dress, and In her fall so demoralized fragile
black walnut bookcase she carried that II
was aftorward done up In bundle and pre-
sented as kindling wood. Another fellow got
safely out OF the yard. all but part Of his
pants, while old Smithefs, who weighs two
hundred and twenty pounds, plunged wildly,
with the eight gallon pail OF Ice cream he
carried, through Browns glass hot-house In
the corner Of the yard, and surprised some
thirty dollars worth Of exotics.
Finally they fred things up and got Into
the house, and as 1t was about time for
Browns return they commenced laying the
supper table. They got down tea set OF
rare china that friend of Browns In the
trade had loaned him week before, and
broke two pieces, so that Brown has since
been obliged to mortgage his hcn-house ant
, buy the set, and the comments OF Mrs
Brown, when she saw the condition of thu
carpet, were sarcastic In tho extreme. Fl
naliy, as browning touch, they tried Il
hang ont Chinese lanterns, with the wort
''welcome" on them, on the porch over tn
front door. They succeeded In hanging tw'
lanterns, and when they had saved the hous
from the fiery hend there wasn't cnougl
porch left to pay for the trouble of trying l.
hang out any more. Then they sat dow
and waited for Brown and his wife to com
home. We draw the veil over the scene tina
followed their return. Some scenes arc to
Joyous to be described In cold, cold words.

The Peabody Sell.


1t has, perhaps, passed from the minds oil
most newspaper readers that dispatch,
dated April /, alleging that the tomb OF
George Peabody had been broken into and
the coffin desecrated by the removal Of the
silver handles and name-plate, was extern
sively published both In this country and In
Europe. The Boston Traveller thus explains
what It terms 1.-THE Peabody Sell;" "Thos.
Appleton, who was the originator Of this
hoax, died at Providence, X. l., some weeks
ago, but before his death he confessed his
guilt, and explained the manner of Its COM
mission. For number Of weeks, he said,
he had been bordering over the question how
he could inillct stupendous hoax upon the
other were thought Of and found Impractical
| bic, until finally he wrote the dispatch which
\ Is quoted above. The next step In the pro-
gramme was to send the dispatch to the oice
Of the New England agent of the Associated
Press, which, with the aid of Salem lady,
was successfully accomplished, and 1t was
sent, and, unsusplciously, the employees In
the Boston office of the Associated Press, be-
sides manifoldlng 1t for every Boston paper
sent It far and wide. As has been stated,
there was great hue and cry 10 discover
the author Of the hoax, but those few who
were let into the secret deemed 1t best to re-
main silent. Now, however, that he Is dead,
the obligation Is removed, and there can be
no objection to the publication Of the details,
even though It may reflect some dlscredit
upon his memory. Whatever may DO thought
OF the cruelty OF tho hoax, there can be nc
question that II proved great success, hum
bugging two thirds of the newspapers on
both sides of the Atlantic"

The Borsenzeitung, OF Berlin, says that tho
German admiralty has decided to increase
the number Of torpedo boats on the coast. At
present there arc only six, but measures arc
tuking for creating torpedo feet, which
will consist of ten larger aud twelve smaller
vessels. Four of these are to be stationed at
the mouth of the Jahdc, four at tho mouth
OF the Elbc, two at the mouth of the Weser,
four at sonderburg-D uppel, six In the Gulf
Of Noustadt near Lubbock, two OIL the Island
OF Rugen, and six In the Gulf OF Dantzic.
The new torpedo boats will be much larger
than those now on the coast; the latter cost
only Oh 900 thalers each, while OF the new
ones, tho cost of tho larger Is estimated at
45O, 600 thalers each, and that of the smaller
at 100000 thalers each. The ten large
vessels arc to be completed by tho year 1882,
and orders are to be issued at once to some
private shipbullders for the construction OF
The smaller ones
