 John Marsh, of Baltimore, took an ounce of laudanum to rid himself of the miseries of the married state. His wife had him pumped back to consciousness. and then sent to jail as common drunk ard. A nice mess John Marsh seems to have made of it.

 The ways of women are past finding out. It IS said that the ladies of Hart ford, Ct, have fashion of tying up their taper fingers when young gentlemen are expected to cal, and when they very nat urally ask the cause. they blushingly re- mark, ''I burnt them broiling steak this morning." The result is that several young gentlemen have burned their fingers believing the story.
 The closing scene of Commencement day at Ann Arbor is thus described:
 The class parted under the naples with the usual farce of pipes and lemonade and class songs. The only striking thing about it was the peculiarly absurd look and embarrassment of the lady graduates, who handled their pipes as if they were hand grenades and were liable to explode at any moment. Rather it was very like the ridiculously careful way a confirmed batchelor takes baby for the first time. Strange to say, not one of the ladies lit her pipe.

I wish could add here, that she effected his conversion, and made him give up his procelain idol, but am tell ing true story. and this little girl was quite content to fill him with her own Christian goodness, without letting him know that he was changed. So they got along very we'll together--this little Christ ian girl with her shining cross hanging around her plump, white little neck, and this dark little pagan, with his hideous porcelain god hidden away in his blouse.
 There were two days of that eventful year which will long be remembered in San Francisco-two days when Q mob of her citizens set upon and killed unarmed, defenseless foreigners, because they were foreigners and of another race, religion and color, and worked for what wages they could get. There were some public men so timid, that, seeing this, they thought that the end of the world had come; there were some eminent statesmen whose names I am ashamed to write here. who began to think that the passage in the Constitution which guarantees civil and religions liberty to every citizen or foreigner was a mistake. But there were also some men who were not so easily frightened, and in twenty-four hours we had things so arranged that the timid men could wiring their hands inc safety, and the eminent statesmen utter their doubts with out hurting anybody or anything. And m the midst of this got note from Hop Sing, asking me to come to him immdiate- ly.
 l found his warehouse closed and strongly guarded by the police against any possible attack of the rioters. Hop Sing admitted me through barred grat- eng with his usual imperturbable calm, but, as it seemed to me, with more than his usual seriousness. Without word he took my hand and led me to the rear of the room, and thence down stairs into the basement. It was dimly lighted, but there was something lying on the floor covered with 0 shawl. As I approached he drew the shawl away with sudden gesture. and revealed Wan Lee, the Pa gan. lying there dead
