That Little Girl

The Joyial captain of steamship running be-
tween the United States and South America tells
a good story relative to the May and December
marriages 30 common in Brazil. A Brazilian
gentlemen, apparently over so BARS of age was
passenger on his vessel. He was accompanied
by two girls one about Is and the other younger.
The gentleman was seasick in the cabin and the
girls were on deck, whereupon the captain en-
deavored to amuse them, took them on his knees
and told them stories, while he enjoyed their
prattle and pretty smiles. In the midst of this
pleasant occupation the gentleman came on deck.
With fierce expression of face he gazed upon
the scene for a moment and then inquired in a
harsh, husky voice, .You, sir, are you married ~
"Yes, have daughter older than your little
girl here, said the captain; 'she reminds me very
much of mine Here he patted the pretty
cheek. THAT little girl, sir, exclaimed the in
dgnant Brazilian with great emphasis; "that lit
tie girl is my wife, sir !" The captain collapsed

There was a visible decline III amuse-
ments III New York on Sunday last by
virtue of police order forbidding the
the opening Of places Of amusement Some pro-
prietors had secured injunctions against nterfer-
ence by the police, and in these instances the sa-
looms were in full blast. These, however, were
mostly OF the unimportant class, and in view Of
what has been accomplished it may be safely said
that Sunday amusements in the metropolis have
been borne down by the force Of public opinion
aud will soon entirely pass out Of sight and
