An Unexpected Answer.

The st. Louis Democrat relates the
following:
During the progress of the trial of
the case of Widow Matthews against
the Elevator Company, in the Circuit
Court. recently Colonel Slayback,
counsel for the defendant, conceived
the idea that one Murphy, witness for
the plaintiff, was a suitor for the hand
of the widow, and on the eve of leading
her to the altar. Getting Murphy on
the stand the lawyer endeavored to bring
this fact before the jury, and this was
the upshot of the examination:
"Mr. Murphy, are you any relation to
the PLAINTIFF"
"No, sir, am not"
sDon't you expect to be?n
''Sueh thing nigh. happen"
snow, are you not going to marry
her?''
"I'm afraid not.''
''You are afraid you won't, an? Well
now, don't you expect to marry hers''
"If my wife should die, and the wild
ow remains single till then, such =
thing might happen::''
The jurors and spectators burst into
a roar of laughter, and Murphy chuck
led at the cunning manner in which he
had drawn the lawyer on. The Colonel
had nothing more to say on the matri-
monial question.

A Happy Couple.

The Lima Gazette says: "One day last
week a green gawky specimen of hu-
manity sauntered up Market street,
dressed in erossbar mized suit OF cot
ton goods, wearing silk plug that was
in style about twenty years ago, accom-
panied by lady whose costume ieon-
pared in every particular with that Of
her attendant. Passing Hershberg's
saloon, their eyes caught that specimen
of white crane that adorns his window,
when Jonathan exclaimed:
Jerusalem Crickets, Jemima, amt
that hi of big buzza rd?"
''Buzzard, nothing, Jonathan, it's an
Ostrich.''
Here they met one of our citizens of
whom Jonathan inquired:
"See, here, mister, does you know
where they keep the marrying shop in
this here town, at which they dispense
the postal cards, perm itting people to
be Joined in enc flesh, by Justice of
the Peace, or any other minister Of the
Gospel?"
Our friend pointed out to him the
Court House and directed him to Judge
Meily's Office. Catching Jemima by
the hand, he said:
"Come along, old gal, We'll soon have
the documents to get US freedom to cut
and handle the fruit in good old happy
land of Canaan" and they trudged
away in search of the marrying shop
and we presume, ere this, Jonathan and
Jemima are one flesh and bone"

How Nice it is to Be a Horse
and Go to California.

True Blue, the winner of the four
mlie-heat race Saturday, left Baltimore
Tor San Francisco last night in a special
stock palace car by the Northern Cen
trail Railroad. True Blues rider. Bar
bee, with Chamberlin's agent and his
colored man Jim accompanied the horse
in his sumptuous car. The outside of
the car was painted bright red. Up
on either side of the car a brilliantly
displayed placard was posted, reading
as follows: 'sPlease do not detain me.
Business of importance with my friends.
Thad Stevens and Joe Daniels requires
me. Truly yours, True Blue.' Upon
expressing desire to inspect the cham
pion, permission was cheerfully accord
ed by Mr.. Chamberlin. The rear end
of the car, which had been set apart for
the valuable steed, was lined all around
with thick mattresses, as was also the
roof. Glass windows were placed in the
side to secure proper ventilation. The
forepart of the car was divided into five
separate compartments for two of True
Blues stable companions, who are to ac-
company him. The middle of the car
was arranged for the accommodation of
attendants, and for the storage of tenn
porary supplies of provender. 1t is ex-
pected that the horse will reach San
Francisco in about eight days. This
will allow True Blue only about a week
in which to recover from the effects of
his long trip by rail before contending
against Thad Stevens and Joe Daniels in
the $40, 900 race which will take place
November 15. The result of this enter
prise is watched with considerable in
terest by turfmen in all parts of the
country. Should True Blue win the
race,lhe will undoubtedly never start
again

Gotlieb sheerer's Little Joke.

There is an anecdote of Gotleib
Scheerer, who, twelve years ago, was
an active Philadelphia politician, and
Vice President Dallas, which is here
first given in print. Some thirty years
ago Mr.. Dallas was counsel in case in
Philadelphia, and Mr.. Scheerer was
called in as witness. The following
questions were put by Mr.. Dallas:
"Mr.Scheerer were you in Harrisburg
last June?"
@Last June, did you say, Mr.. Dallas?"
aYes, last June ;don't repeat my ques-
ton, but answer it."
After some moments of study the an
swer came. "No, Mr.. Dallas, was net
in Harrisburg last june"
"Were you in Harrisburg last July ?"
He reflected again, and slowly said,
'sNo, Mr.. Dallas, was not in Harris
burg in july
"Were you there in August, Mr..
Scheerer?"
The witness again meditated and said
'sNo, Mr.. Dallas, I was not there IN
Au gust"
"Were you there in September"
Here Mr.. Scheerer reflected longer
than before, and replied: 'sNo, Mr.. Dali
las, was not in Harrisburg in Septem-
ber."
Mr.. Dallas became tired of this .bar-
rem result, and raising his voice, said:
"Mr. Scheerer, will you tell the Court
when you were in Harrisburg?"
''Mr. Dallas" said Scheerer, 81 was
never in Harrisburg in my life."
The Court, the audience and Gotlieb
Scheerer enjoyed the joke, but Mr.. Dali
las did not heartily partake of the msr-
iment it created.

One of Those Stupid Servant

Mrs. Krickbaum came down stairs at
noon to see how dinner was getting on,
found the girl straining boiled cabbage

Krickenbaum's high hat, and swearing

A Damper on Peddlsrs.

$ In Virginia City gentlemen has
placed on each side of tho gravel walk
leading from his front gate to his deer
a handsome iron fence, the top rail of
which is made of gas-pips, filled with
small holes. Before he thus fenced his
walk he was much troubled by book
agents, map peddlers,and persistent life
insurance men, but now all is lovely
with him. When he sees a man enter
his gate with books under his arm, he
simply turns cock, and instantly .
thousand streams of water dart acrsss
the whole lenth Of the walk, from side
to side to side. The book peddler re-
treats to the gate,gazes wistfully up the
walk for time, concludes the man of
the house does not want to see him, and
he travels, wondering what sort of in
ternal machines people will next invent

A Sudden and Melancholy
Death.

A sad and remarkable affair occurred
on the Great Western Ferry Union,
while the boat was lying at the Michi-
gan Central dock about z O'Clock on
Thursday evening. Mrs. L. Reynolds,
of Fulton, Oswego County, N. Y, ac-
companied by little son about ten
years of age, who was in extremely del
icate health, were ON their way home
after visit to friends in Saginaw, and
embarked on the Union, intending to
cross the river and take the Great Wes-
tern train, which leaves there at 7:40
o'clock. The child had been an invalid
all his life, his disorder being pronoun-
ced by the physicians to be disease of
the heart, and had always been distin-
guished by nervousness and timidity
which it was impossible to overcome.
Then, too, he had always lived in a
quiet little country town, and until re-
Gently had never been away from his
home.
His journey from Saginaw had great
ly excited him, and the confusion and
hustle at the depot, the shouting of the
hackmen, and the footing of the ferry's
whistle frightened him so that he tremb-
led like an aspen leaf and clung close
ly to his mother, who vainly endeavor-
ed to allay his fears. Upon reaching
the cabin of the boat the child threw
himself into his mothers arms and ex-
claiming, "Oh, mamma, am DYING"
fell back lifeless. Of course the melan-
eholy occurrence created the widest ex-
citement, and universal sympathy was
felt for the bereaved mother, who was al
most frantic when she was brought to
a realization of the fact that her child
was dead.
Capt. Stone had the remains taken to
the Cass House, where they were ac-
companed by Mrs. Reynolds. Yester-
day morning the body was placed in a
coffin, and the heart-broken mother
started with it for New York.
The cause of the child's sudden death
was undoubtly heart disease, and the
excitement of the journey and the novel
and strange surroundings at the depot
fastened the fatal attack.

IN THE ROUGH.

The marble was pure and white
Though only block at best,
But the artist, with inward sight.
Looked farther than all the rest.
And saw in the hard, rough stone,
The loyeiiest statue the sun shone on.
So he set to work with care
And chiseled a form of grace
A figure diyinely fair,
With tender, beautiful face:
But the blows were hard and fast
1hat bro't from the narble.tha work at last
SO think that human lives
Must bear Gods chisel Keen
Ii the spirit yearns and strives
For the better life unseen.
For men are only blocks at best.
TIL the chiseling brings out all the rest.

PROTECTION TO EM1GRANTs.


The flow of emigration will undoubt-
edly be checked by the present financial
crisis, for in these times of daily inter-
communication private letters and the
public press will bring the knowledge
to the masses of Europe that for the
time being there is much unemployed
labor in our cities and yet no one cause
will contribute more toward the restor-
alton of confidence and general indus
try than the continuance of the influx
of the large number of farmers and
mechanics that have hitherto come from
European countries.
Since Canada is offering counties of
from five to ten dollars, by way of re-
duction Of transportation it become alb
sOlutely necessary for our Government
to aid the emigrant and to pilot him
across our vast continent to his future
home. Leaving the question of trans
portation on shipboardentirely out, there
