When the Duke of Edinburg and the
daughter of the Gar are married they arc
to live half year at least in Russia, and
have one of the new houses on the quay
in front of the Admiralty at St Peters
burg. The brides fortune Is to be- 1,OOO,-
600 roubles. One of the chief causes of
delay in the arrangement ofthe match has,
it is said, been the wish on either side to
stipulate for living the greater part of the
year in England or Russia. Hence the
compromise of dividing the time equally
between the two.
More evidence that the English tongue
is fast becoming the language Of the
world comes from far away Siam, the
King of which realm has just established
two English schools for the education of
the sons of his mobiles. These future
Asiatic aristOcrats are to be able to con-
verse with and read the literature of the
people of Great Britain and the United
States. French may remain the language
OF European courts, but the commercial
tongue of the world is undoubtedly the
English, and the knowledge of it is spread
ing with every fresh port in Asia and
Africa opened to commerce, with the
advent of each American in Japan, China
and Egypt.
During whole week, says the Bengal
Times, the streets of Dacca have been
enlivened by marriage professions, the
most remarkable of which were those in
honor of the marriage of two dolls belong
ing to the daughters of the wealthiest
Hindoo citizens. The celebration of these
extraordinary nuptials has afforded much
amusement to the people, whilst the
parents of the juvenile mother-in-law
availed themselves of this opportunity to
spend few thousand rupees to satisfy the
one inclination foremost in the mind of
every Hindoo-feeding the Brahmins, re-
lations, kinsmen, friends, neighbors and
the poor.
The deposition of the Mayor of Stras-
bourg by the German authorities for
alleged disloyal sentiments came very
near breaking up marriage. A young
lady of the place was engaged to a gentle
man at Nancy, and the wedding was to
come off in eight days. A few days before
the ceremony the bridegroom, greatly to
his amazement, received telegram from
his betrothed, informing him that unless
he came on Immediately German magis.
tratc would have to tie the nuptial knot.
The bridegroom fastened at once to Stras-
bourg, and was married just day before
the whole municipal authorities were
suspended for two months. The bride
was determined to be made twain under
no circumstances by German official.

A PATHETIC incident occurred during
the floods at Binghamton, N. Y. A Mrs.
Fox, residing near the cemetery gate,
heard, in the morning, peculiar moaning
in the direction of the cemetery. Going
there she found little child waistdeep in
water and weeping near head-stone,

The largest cactus in this town be-

Saturday Mrs. Merrill had set it out in
the yArd, and that night cat got up on
the back roof 10 sing or die, or something
Of thai sort, and Mr.. Merrill stepped out
on the roof in night shirt to kick it of,
but kicked about eight feet too high,
through miscalculation, and the awful
disappointment threw him off his feet,
and eventually off the roof and into the
yard, 10 the intense regret Of Mrs. Merrill,
who valued that cactus above all herbs OF
the field, and who had sat up three
evenings TO make that night shirt-Ha1
.dd<ser.
1t is said there is very simple way
Of neutralizing the effect Of tobacco when
too much has been taken, or when tried
by do5vtaat--it is TO drink strong cup
Of coffee. The tanin which is contained
in the coffee is the antidote to nicotine.
Those who are Obliged to try the cigars,
and smoke beyond all reason, when their
taste is spoiled take coffee and recover
Immediately that sureness Of appreciation
which permits them TO continue their
work In this the Turks are our teachers I;
they have discovered the means Of smok-
ing continually with pleasure, and with
ont WEAKNESS, by drinking cup of coffee
after each pipe.
They tell about man out in the oil
regions who disapproyed of the proposed
marriage Of his daughter to a certain
youth. In order to prevent IN elopement,
the old man purchased ferocious bull
dog, and turned him loose in the yard

by dogs so the girl stole the dogs dinner
for three days, and upon the night of the
| fourth day the young man called at the
house with piece of meat upon a cod

He caught one OF the stern fathers colts,
| fixed the rope to its hindcrmost leg, and
threw the tempting bait at the raging dog.
The dog snapped at it, and swallowed it,
| hook and all, without blinking. The
lover then affixed pack Of fire-crackers
To the colts tail, and touched off the
works. In one-quarter Of minute by
the clock horse might have been seen
tearing down the road at a terrific
rate, with a disheartened and mortified

velocity. When last heard from, the two
horse and dog--were passing through
| Indiana, bound due west, with the old
man in pursuit AS soon as he was gone,
his child put on her best hair, and her
Sunday suit, and her supplementary frills,
and passed down the street with her lover,
TO be married by the alderman. II is
feared that her father will dispense very
few blessings when he comes back. And
