WITH regard to the Japanese mission
and its miniature complications and the
momentous things which trend toward
the direful catastrophe of the retiracy Of
De Long. the telegraph thoughtfuily
tells us as follows:
Associated Press dispatches say that
the recall of Minister De Long is insisted
upon, because he Is said to have involved
himself in difficulties existing between
Japan and another nation contrary to
diplomatic Law and us;.ges. and his rela-
tons with the State Department are not
entirely satisfactory, and this neutralizes
the efforts of his Pacific coast friends IN
his behalf His integrity does not seem
to be in any way called into question
We trust for the safety of our institu-
tons that Mr. De Long has not been
rackins back on his dignity and snub-
bing the Secretary of State. That would
be an almost cruel indulgence of perso-
nal and official hauteur.

Married in Fun.

A preacher named White, who h ais
Il ON Massachusetts, got into situa-
ton bordering on drunk Yesterday,
and wandered TO Water street. In this
vicinity he imbibed freely. Finally his
weary footsteps halted before a place
known as the Western hotel. Here he
stopped and requested that something
be done to cnliven the party Now it
happened that there was in the house a
Young girl. and mock wedding was
proposed. The proposition was agreed
to. \ Young man and girl were pro-
duced, and the man Of cloth was re-
qucstcd to perform the supposed mock
ceremony. which he did with due grav-
fly and solemnitv. And now comes
the serious part of the supposed joke.
After he had proclaimed the bans, he
stated that he was an authorized min
lister, duly licensed, and that the
twain were one flesh whom none but
death could part. The young man had
never seen his wife before. nor she her
husband till now. What were they
70 do? Aid. Donaldson was procured,
but he could only swear the minister
and prove that they were legally and
lawfully married. The couple compla-
Gently accepted the situation. but did
not appear to relish their position, and
were endcavoring TO find some way to
get out Of this very serious practical
joke.-PiftsJurgh Gazette.

A Tilt from Tilton.

The Golden Age. in speaking of Mr..
Colfax and his mysterious deposit of
ST 200, says:
At the present moment Colfax still
asks for a suspension Of Judgment,
and We are bound TO grant il: but we
happen to know that he is writing pri-
vately to persons in this city or vicini-
~, asking them, in suspicious and
inviting manner, if they do not re-
member sending him money at the
time in question, SO that he can trace
his damning deposit of 81, 200 to some
other source than Cakes Ames! Ii the
kindly earth will refrain from opening
under the retiring vice president, and
will not swallow him as q false swear
er, but will once again make a straight
path for his feet, we shall feel on his
account as full Of unexpected happi-
ness rs we now are Of mingled pity
and scorn for his apparent apostacy
from the ranks of honest men.

Valor and the Man.

This is romance ofSan Diego, Cali
fornia, and the hero is "El Captain"
d. now one hundred and three wears old.
Once as the chief of the warlikc Cahuil-
las he claimed royal position; and it
is said there was time when he was
distinguished beyond any man on the
Pacific coast. for success in love, war
and atlcthic sports. II appears that
in his prime "El Captain" had no less
than twenty wives-the women were
OF the chicftain's own racc-whOm ne
compelled to go into battle with him.
About forty years ago "El Captain"
went to the beach during violent
storm to procure oysters. Pccring
through the driving spray he saw q
sinking ship. On board the vessel was
fur trader and his family. The ship
foundered, and all on board with one
exception, were drowned. The excep-
ton was woman. who chung TO boat,
from which her companions had been
washed away. The boat drove near
to the shore and was upset in the
breakers. But the Captain" plunged
into the surf and brought the woman
safely to land. She was the daughter
OF the fur trader. and she fell in love
with her prcserver. .'El Captain" bore
her TO his wigwam and the girl was
soon restored to health. The jealousy
of the twenty ladies already in pos
session of the savage was quietcd by
clubbing them over the head with his
canoe paddle. He became deeply ell
ainaured Of her, and they were regular
~ married according to the rites ofthc
Roman Catholic faith lei Captain"
had the grace--in time, not immcdi-
ateiy--to detach himself from the other
danes of his household, and he lived
with his Caucasian bride through forty
wears of mutual confidence and love.
But the chief had been called upon to
give up at last what had been sent to
his arms. At the age of sixty she was
taken away, and he. at the age of more |
than a hundred, still stalks majestica!ly |
across the plaza.
