AN IMPROMPTU WEDDING.-A Mis-
souri, paper gives q detailed account of
how a betrothed couple were persuaded
to anticipate the day set for their we'd
ding, and to have the ceremony abrupt
ly performed at a birthday party, at
which they CHANGED to be guests 1t
says: Recorder Theis was also present,
and as soon as he saw the young couple
come in, with an eve to business he sug-
gested that if any one was present who
wished to be married, he was at their
service. The young couple at once took
the hint. The young man was willing,
but the maiden was backward and would
not consent. Adam concluded to use a
little diplomacy, so he says: Il will make
a present of a $35 cooking stove to any
couple that 1 shall marry to night.
This proposition so delighted the COM
pany that others commenced offering
presents. F. G. Mueller said, L will
give nice bureau F. G.. Ahlers, And
L a spring mattress; Fischer, the halter,
Call on me for a rocking-chair; Miller,
the gunsmith, I'll givea set OF cushion
bottom chairs; Mr.. Volk, and here S
an extension table, Mrs. Anna Neitbock
I'll give fifty y-dollar bedstead;' Mr..
Gatz, Put me down for fine looking
glass; Mrs. Mitchell, Here's break
fast set; Miss Fritz Notebook, I'll give
a clock, and so they went ON until the
presents in the aggregate amounted to
about S4oO, the young couple meanwhile
blushing and hardly knowing what to
say or do. Several friends of the young
lady got around her, and told her she
would not again such favorable oppor-
tunity to make start in the world ;
and just as the party was breaking up,
about eleven o'clock, Mr.. Hunstock,
who seemed to be working in Adams in
terest and urging on the match, came
round to the Recorder, and whispered
in his ear: Stop leedle, dots all right
by chinks, we got a Wedding anyhow
poody soonr Adam called halt, the
company stood still in hats and bonnets,
while the Recorder proceeded and said !:
L pronounce you man and wife, and
may God bless you, and Miss STERN
was Mrs. Green, to the intense delight
of all present"

A Faithful and AffectiOnate Rat.

The Whitehall Times tells this story:
There is in Whitehall family who have
little daughter two and a half wears
old, who has formed singular attach
ment for rat. Every day this little
one goes into the woodshed adjoining
the house, where large, venerable
looking rat makes its appearance, when
the innocent little child proceeds to feed
1t from her chubby hand. The parents
have caught their little one feeding lis
protege several times of late, yet, on the
approach of any other than the little
girl, the rat scampers off to its hole.
Several efforts have been made by the
child's parents to dispatch the singular
companion of their darling, for it was
feared that the child might get bitten by
it. Last Sunday the rat showed it's af-
fection and guardian care of the little
ones comfort, as the following will show:
The child's mother put it to sleep in its
cradle in the kitchen, going to another
room in the house, leaving the sleeping
child alone. She was gone some time.
On her return she cast her eyes ON the
child, when she was surprised to observe
the rat standing perched upon the top of
the cradle, moving its tail over the little
sleeper. The mother, wishing to see
what the ''varmint was up to-" stood and
watched its movements, peeping through
the door, which was only partly opened.
She observed a number of flies above the
child's face, when two lit on the little
one, whereat the kind rat whisked them
off with its tail. Wishing to make sure,
the lady quietly called her husband, and
the two stood watching the proceedings
for at least ten minutes. Every time
fly dared to alight on the little ones face
that old rats friendly tail would brush
it away, like the guardian angel hover
ing about us, who, we believe, is con-
stantly brushing away dangers that
threaten us poor mortals. 1t was thought
safe by the child's parents to leave the
child in charge of its singular nurse, and
for one hour the little one slept. When
it awoke its mother went to take it up,
and the rat jumped from the cradle and
sped away through the half opened door
to the woodshed. Since that time the
child has been put to sleep in the kitch
en- to ascertain if the experiment would
be repeated. Each time when left alone,
with the shed door partially open, the
old rat would enter and take up its posi-
ton over the head of the cradle, watch
ing the little sleeper, and brushing away
the flies who dared to trouble its charge

During recent visit to England, l
was surprised and panied at the many
evidences of cruelty among the people.
1 stood on the corner of Regent and Ok
ford Streets two hours, and counted the
number of cuts received by horses. 1t
was four hundred and sixty eight, and
the whips used by the cab drivers there
are very severe. When 1 returned to
America, 1 spent the first two spare
hours (which happened to be the busiest
of the day for the street, on the corner
of Broadway and Canal Streets, in New
York, and counted the number of whip
cuts within the range of my vision. 1t
was fourteen, and the whips used by
New York drivers are nothing compared
with those used by the London drivers
During seven weeks in London saw a
woman beaten by man in the street
nine times. Ihave never witnessed such
brutality in America. The new game of
Polo on horseback, inaugurated last
summer in the presence of royalty and
uncounted nobility, on the Grand Park
at Windsor Castle, l witnessed. The
cruel tortures to which the beautiful
ponies were subjected would not be per-
mitted in the United States. Not only
would ladies and respectable men refuse
to look on and approve, but the author
tiles would be compelled to interfere.
Still, in some of the highest ladies'
schools in England, grown women are
viii. ii, and in the colleges the beating
of y,.e younger boys by the older would
not be submitted to by American saw
ages. 1t is not matched by anything in
history.-Dio Leris in To-day.

Country Children.

Little fresh violets,
Born in the wild wood,
Sweetly illustrating
Innocent childhood;
Shy as the antelope
Brown as a berry
Free as the mountain air,
Romping and merry.
Blue eyes and hazel eyes
Peep from the hedges,
Shaded by sunbonnets,
Prayed at the edges;
Up in the apple trees,
Needless Of danger,
Manhood in embryo
Stares at the stranger.
Out in the hilly patch,
Seeking the berries
Under the orchard trees,
Feasting on cherries;
Trampling he blossoms,
Down 'mong the grasses,
No voice to hinder them,
Dear lads and lasses.
No grim propriety-
No interdiction;
Free as the birdlings
From city restriction
Coming the purest blood,
Strengthening each muscle,
Donning health armor
'Gainst life's coming hustle.
Dear little innocents !
Born in the wildwood;
Oh, that all little ones
Had such a childhood
Gods blue spread over them,
Gods garden beneath them;
No sweeter heritage
Could we bequeath them

UMBRELLAS FOR AFRIcA.-A manufac-
turing firm at Glasgow, Scotland, have
recently made two palanquin umbrellas
of enormous size. They are nearly
thirty-three feet in circumference, suffi-
cient toafford protection to about twenty
five persons. One is made of fine dam
ask silk, with handsome variegated
wool fringe nine inches deep. The 9TH
er one is made of rep silk, with a pure
silver fringe, and lined with white silk.
At the top of each is handsome gilt
ornament; the ribs are of whalebone,
each thick enough for walking cane.
The stick, which is of brentwood, orna-
mented and polished, is five yards long,
is iointed in the centre to make the um-
brella more portable, and has heavy
spike in the end for fixing in the ground.
The umbrellas, estimated at about $3.50
each, have been ordered by firm trad
ing in Africa, and are supposed to be de-
signed for presents for some chiefs.

A gentleman of wealth, one day, while
practicing penmanship, wrote his name
upon blank slip of paper, and allowed
it to lie upon his desk. 1t attracted the
attention of a neighbor. who, for joke,
filled the space above the signature in
the form of a promissory note, and few
days afterward presented the paper, with
an offer to allow considerable discount
if the apparent drawer would cash it at
that time. The gentleman recognized
the joke, and the holder of the document,
placing it in his pocket, departed, and
nothing more was said about it. Sub
sequently the holder was suddenly strick
en- with paralysis and died, and his exc
cutors finding the note, and having no
knowledge of the joke attached to it,
brought suit and recovered the sum
S500-for which it was drawn, thus il
lustrating the danger of persons careless
ly writing their names on blank scraps
of paper.

Scientists look with much interest on
the results obtained by the Polaris. No
other attempt has approached the pole
so near. The Polaris went beyond the
eighty-second degree. 1t has dispelled
the notion of an open Polar Sea, the
supposed sea proving to be only sound,
some seventy or eighty miles long and
fifty or sixty wide, which the Polaris not
only reached, but entered aid passed

DISEASE AND DIET IN THE WEST
There can be no doubt that, with certain
climatic conditions, virgin soil, when
first turned up to the sun, emits an in
visible, subtle poison, known as malaria
This poison produces in man various
forms of painful and dangerous diseases.
These maladies are very difficult to man
age, often undermining the constitution.
and leaving behind effects which remain
through life. The malarial poison is,
with perhaps single exception, the
most insinuating obstinate, and destruct-
i've of all the poisons known to man.
While it is probably impossible to escape
malarial diseases in certain localities,
there can be no doubt that consider
able part of what is supposed to be the
result of malaria, is due to "hog and
hominy." In my visits to the West,
have been astonished at the quantities of
pork and corn consumed by the people
An Illinois farmer eats twice as much
as a New England farmer, and his food
is twice as rich, while he performs less
than half the labor. The influence
upon his digestive apparatus may be
easily imagined. 1t requires but little
Ilaidiid W llIe SuCH d tTdlH. nave
known more than one family to remove
from New England to malarious districts
in the West, and break up new farm,
without suffering from malarial diseases.
They carefully observed the laws of
health, used beef instead of pork, wheat
instead of corn, and stayed indoors from
sundown till an hour or so after sunrise.
Many of the diseases of the West, and
much of the yellow skin, may be traced
to the same causes as produce the dis
eased and discolored complexion of the
South-a bad diet, bad drinks, neglect
of bathing, and other kindred violations
of the laws of health.-Dio Le,ciS IN To-

AMERICAN SLEEPING CARS IN EUROPE.
The Continental Railroad Companies
have at last awakened to the necessity of
sleeping-cars on their railroads Col.
w. d. Mann, of the United States, is
the prime mover in the movement, and
has commenced the introduction of
sleeping cars on the Pullman system,
which bids fair to be as successful as
that company has been on the other side
of the Atlantic. 1t is called the Mann
Boudoir Car Company, and they have
established extensive shops are Brussels.
Thus far they have turned out but few
cars, though a large number are in
course of construction. The engineers
of Europe persist in limiting the length
of the car to thirty-five feet, about half
the length of our palace and conse-
quently the company has been compell-
ed to build their cars on this scale The
body of the car is divided into four sep
arate compartments or staterooms, each
capable of being converted at night into
four coaches, and thus carrying but six
teen persons. One of these cars has Just

The Surrender OF the VirginIus Pris-
Oners.
NEW YoRK. Decemher %

NEW York, December 20.
The New York T'ri6unes Key West
telegram gives an account of the surren-
der of the Virginius prisoners to Lieut..
Com. Braine of the Juniata. II appears
that the authorities to the last moment
kept the poor wretches in ignorance of
their prospective release, and with base
inhumanity led them to suppose that they
were to be executed. Priests were with
them, taking their confessions and dying
declarations, and imploring them to look
to God for pardon. They were taken out
of prison in despair, but on their way to
the slaughter.pen, as they supposed, their
eyes fell upon the Juniata, flying the flag
Of the United States. When they realized
the truth scene occurred which beggars
description. Their enthusiasm knew no
bounds. They were speedily transferred
to the deck of the Juniata, and gave vent
to the most extravagant but touching
demonstrations of joy, embracing each
other, some crying, some kissing, and
others offering thanks TO the Almighty
for their deliverance from the horrors of
their dungeon and the prospect of an
ignominious death. On the night before
the surrender, the officers and crew of
the Juniata were stationed at their quar-
tiers, her guns being turned on the city.
The Spanish volunteers having been ex-
cited to an open riot by the rumor that
the surrender was to take place, large
number of them went in a body to the
Governors palace and begged permission
to attempt the capture of the Juniata, saying
that they could do it with knives alone.
The Governor refused to grant permis-
sion. Our officers believe that the appli-
cation was made in earnest and not few
"a e.
ed, as the Juniata alone, not 10 speak of
the Kansas and Pinta, would have been
more than a match for their assailants.
On the arrival of the Pinta at Santiago
orders came to the ship from Commodore
Braine for the paymaster to issue all the
blankets and pea,jackets in his depart
ment to the prisoners, whe were hardly
fit to be seen in their rags. This was
speedily done, but, as there was still
great destitution, orders came for every
man on board to give their own blankets
and spare wearing apparel in the good
cause, promises being made that all would
be replaced on the arrival of the ship at
Key West The officers and men cheer
fully complied with the order, only pre-.
ferring that it should be issued as re.
quest, in which case they would have
obeyed with just as much alacrity. Every
heart was touched by the pitiable con-
dition of the prisoners. The poor fellows
report that they were barbarously treated.
The surrender took place at MORO Castle,
six miles below Santiago. A receipt was
given for the prisoners.
1t was reported in Santiago that when
it was found that the Virginius had been
towed out of the harbor of Havana, a large
number of officers ofhigh grade rendered
their designations to the home govern
ment by telegraph.
