THEY had very quiet elopement in
Detroit, the other day. A man ran
away with another mans wife without
saying word to her about it, and when
her husband found it out he never utter
ed word of complaint, though he was
the maddest looking man in seven
counties. They were all deaf-mutes.
OSCAR @. PRATT, reporter, having
formerly served on Detroit and Chicago
papers, took morphine and died at
Omaha, last week, where he was con-
nected with paper. A Chicago paper
says the reason was that che failed to
solve life's problem, " which means that
he had wife and child andintemperate
habits to support on reporters pay
no wonder he gave it up.
A Syracuse gentleman and his wife
left home, few days ago, for an ex-
tended southern tour, intending to
spend the spring months in Florida.
They got as far as New York, and in
visiting one Of the theaters there the
gentleman was robbed of his wallet,
containing the several hundred dollars
with which he was to defray the ex-
penses of the trip. In the rear of that
gentleman's Syracuse house may be seen
thoughtful man chopping wood in his
shirt-sleeves, while sad-eyed woman
within spats butter and sighs.
AN OMAHA policeman was awaked by
a rat nibbling at his ear, and when he
saw the immense and hungry creature
glaring at him he became paralyzed
with fear, of which the rat took instant
advantage by springing upon his visage
and seizing his nose. He was choked
off and thrown violently against the side
of the room and instantly disappeared,
but returned in about 20 minutes to
renew his meal. He was again driven
to his hole and powerful trap placed
in position, but as yet the trap has de-
clared no dividends.
The guintessence of the omniverous
hog is supposed to be imaged in the
hen, but the hog is a Peabody among
animals alongside of the hen. Hens
are by nature monopolists. When the
subject of victuals is mentioned they
are evidently listening. Throw hand
full of corn into ten-acre lot, and every
hen in the inelosure will get a dab at it.
The last hen on the spot may not get
more than two or three kernels, but
nothing IN the hens appearance viii in
dicate that. 1t will step around with
as much precision and gratitude as any
in>the flock, and wear the most pensive
smile you ever saw. A hen viii not eat
every thing it sees, but will try to, and
there isn't one on the face of this earth
but that can tell you the taste of every
thing it has seen within the radius of
half mile Of its house. It is only
when a man has kicked at hen and
missed it that he begins to understand
how thoroughly hollow and deceitfnl
this world is, and it is marvellous fact
in this connection that he viii miss the
hen if he kicks at it, and misses it if he
don't. DGnbagy (Copsss.1 Nesrs,
