Buying a Wife at Auction.

About a week ago a widow woman
named Gathner, living in the Sixth Ward,
met male acquaintance on Gratiot street
and complained to him that she was out
of flour and wood, and almost dis
couraged. He told her she ought to mar
ry again, and she said she couldn't find a
husband "I'll sell you at auction" he
continued, "and We'll put in a proviso
that the highest bidder shall court you for
week in order that you may know him"
The woman laughingly consented, and
the man mounted box and began crying
out. A crowd assembled and he stated
the facts in the case, saying that he had
known her for years; knew her to be in
dustrious and of good character and then
he opened the sale. Bidding was lively,
and everybody in great humor In the
crowd was an old bachelor named Peter
D. Joslyn, boarding on Maple street, and
he was the only one took the joke as a
real fact. He jumped the bidding from
43 cents 10 S5, and then raised it to $S.
The auctioner cried "last call" on that
figure, and the widow was knocked
down" Joslyn handed her the money,
agreed to the proviso, and then treated the
whole crowd, none of whom had a thought
that marriage would take place. One
did, however, take place yesterday morn
ing, after the terms of the proviso had
been faithfully carried out. And while it
is quite certain that Joslyn has found a
good helpmeet the bridegroom's friends
say that he is sober, steady, good-tempered,
and well off.-Detr0at Free Press.

The Tornado i'm Iowa.

WASHINGTON, Iowa, May 23.
A terrific tornado or whirlwind, accom-
panied with hail and rain, passed over
this county, about six miles north of
Washington, yesterday afternoon. 1t came
up from the southwest, and passed out of
the county little south of Yatton.
The tornado was about one-half mile in
width, and tore into fragments everything
that came in its course. Houses, barns,
fences, trees, cattle and human beings
were caught up and whirled through the
air like mere toys, and then dashed to the
ground with such violence as to produce
instant death with the animate beings.
The houses and barns were torn to frag-
ments and scattered for miles around.
Fields are dotted with large timbers
driven into the ground at an angle of nine
ty degrees, and cattle were actually driven
head-f foremost into the SOIL One can
scarcely conceive Of the devastation or
realize the force of the tornado.
Already we have heard of thirteen
houses and many barns that were literally
torn to pieces, and many others badly
damaged.
School was in session at schoolhouse
six miles north, and the tornado tore the
building to pieces, and carried fourteen
year old daughter of Henry Rathmel
about quarter of mile from the school
house, and when found she was mashed
to jelly Miss Smith, the teacher, and
six OF eight scholars were hurt, some
badly.
The wife of Henry Waters was killed.
A Miss Gardner and son of Alexander
Gibson lie at the point of death. Jacob
Seek was seriously hurt. Mr. Baker was
badly hurt in the back. Several OF the
family of F. Campbell, near Keota, were
wounded. Mrs. Mccoy was seriously
hurt.
A gentleman who was near the tornado
six miles north when it passed, reports
that it was balloon-shaped, with the small
end to the ground, and moved at the rate
of about seventy miles an hour.
1t commenced its fearful work near
Keota, where it demolished several resi-
dences. We next hear of it about six
miles northwest, where it destroyed two
or three houses, and as it passed on north
east, it scattered to the four winds the fine
residences and barns of Alex Gibson, J.
A. Babcock and ]. G. Culingham, and also
leveled to the ground the dwellings of d.
Cancer, F. and FL. Waters, Mr. Carringer
and Mr.. Kerr.
Many persons lives were saved by their
hastily getting into their cellars.
Sad havoc was made with all kinds of
stock.

almost miracle that anything IN lts

THE NEW WORLD.

Gold closed in New York on the Goth at

Judge Pierepont has declined the Russian
mission and telegram of the Goth says the
President had rendered the appointment to ex-
Governor Jewell, of Connecticut.
The trial of George Francis Train, on the
charge of circulating obscene publications,
terminated in New York on the Goth by the court
directing the jury to give verdict of not guilty
on the ground of insanity. Mr.. Bell said that
two of the jurors informed him that that was
not their verdict. The court replied: ''The
verdict is entered and that part of the case is
disposed of. Dr. Cross testified that this in
sanity continues, and therefore Train must be
sent to the State Lunatic Asylum" Train ex-
citedly said, II protest against the proceedings
here. have been five months in Jail without
being granted trial" Then addressing Judge
Davis, he said, Before I leave here / move

Judge Davis ordered him to sit down, and an
order was made out to send Train to the State
Lunatic Asylum. Trains counsel obtained
a writ of habeas corpus, returnable on the 22d.

WHO that regularly reads the newspa-
pers says Philadelphia journal, has not
been struck with those many-named col
umns into which the news of all the world
is compressed? Variously styled in various
newspapers, they aim to grasp and fOcalize
the news of everything and everybody,
everywhere, and to present it in as small
and telling space as possible. They
carry the reader in breath from Indus to
the Pole, and hurry him along from SEN
tence to sentence, to conduct him in
trice to antipodes Of thought. The reader
never thinks, as his eyes take their rapid
Journey down the columns, of the care,
the pains, the taste, the skill, the patience
necessary to reduce those items to attract
i've shape. The scissors and the paste do
great deal Of the work, it is true, but
the brain helps more than it is given
credit for. Fancy and imagination and
judgment have to play their part The
scissors dart instinctively at "goed"
item, and the brains step in and decide
whether it's publication would be judi
cious. Is the item old? Has it ever APP
peared before? Is it nice and fresh and
crisp and sparkling? What position shall
it hold with regard to the other items?
Has another on the same subject been al
ready clipped out? Might not the phrase
ology be changed, so as to bestow point
and pith? Could piquant joke be tag
ged on? Again, when the selection is
done, and the items-personal, miscel-
laneous, religious, theatrical and what not
are all arranged in order, will they
make glittering and systematic whole,
over which the eye will delight to rove,
like bird from flower to flower. All
these things have to be considered in at
tending to the "item" department of a
newspaper The tastes of every possible
reader must be anticipated. Since it takes
all sorts of people to make world-a
truism of profounder meaning than is
generally appreciated-it takes all sorts
of items to make wspaper.-DGily

Cleaned with speculation high;
And of all mission said or sung,

Beyond, the dream Of Fortune shone
His soul he'd risk to call his own

''WOe haunts the pathway you would tread;
Dark perils lurk on every side!'
And, curt, to all, his voice replied,

Short was his answer with the taunt,
You're very fattering-but | want

Beware the certain final crash!
Beware the banks and brokers' smash!''
This was the wise mans caution vain
From corner" came the grim refrain,

The pious Drew threw up the card
He'd played to many mems despair,
A voice came ike a dying prayer

Half-b buried in his Bonds was found,
Still gasping-O, the fearful price
His life had paid for such device!--

Bleeding, a suicide, he lay;
And, at the grave, the sexton old

every tissue, an American girl. She is
this in her delicate beauty; her 1.-THE, yet
perfect form; her tiny, snow-white hand

been remarked, but it never seemed to us
so thoroughly American as her Ionic
