Despite the severe storm, despite the
warning of the steward and the remon-
strances of his fellow passengers, Smid-
kins, q passenger by the White Star
steamer IN mid-winter, determined to
take bath. bathrooms on ocean
steamers are a novelty. Smidkins was
fully aware Of this and was persistent
in his resolution to bathe. The ship
rolled and pitched heavily, and nearly
all On board retained their equilibrium
with great difficulty. Smidkins secured
bucket, great quantity OF CASTLE
soap, towels and sponge. He took for
NAL possession OF the bathroom "laid
on" the water, and awaited the tllling Of
the tub. Soon he had the satisfaction Of
seeing the water rise to short distance
ol the top OF the tub. 1t went sWashing

cold was the work Of few moments,
and then Smidkins proceeded to make u
1ather with his CaStile soap in the
bucket. While preparing TINS cohcoc-
tion he entered Jne tub again quite in
voluntarily, in consequence OF the roll
ling OF the ship, and was accompanied
by the bucket, MS wearing apparel and
various ornamental, portable a ticles be-
longing to the room. The contents of
tile tub made the TUB uncoinmonly Slip
perry, and poor Smidkins Went rluching
and slashing about in a most peculiar
manner, coat encirciing his legs and
the bucket surmouning his head. The
rolling Of the ship became very violent,
SO did SmIdkins, Tor he was nurt and
bruised all over and wanted to get out,
but couldn't. Providence came to his
aid at last, for the snip gave " lurch and
Smickins went flying IRON tub TO floor,
as did u great many quarts of water.
They put a blanket around him and laid

fearful yell, which rang from end to
end of the building, the thief fell in fit
upon the floor. Alarmed by the scream.
two or three officers were speedily at
the spot, and turning ON their lanterns,
were nearly as much astonished in their
| turn to see white-sheeted figure stand
ing by the side Of the man with convul-
sions.
When their momentary surprise. had
ceased upon their discovering who the

unfasten the prostate mans scarf and
collar, sprlnkled him with water, and
lifted him up from the ground; his strug-

"Where am IS-who are Eouw asked
the miserable culprit.
"Oh, we are particular. friends OF
yours" returned the officer.
'.But l saW-I saw one OF those things
move," said the man, looking tImluIy
around with dreadful shudder. Low
clitfe had stripped OF his white raiment
by this time, and so did not shock the
wretched Giisser's eyes.

morning." said the constable. "What
you haye got TO 90 is to come along with

1t was so-he had to ''come along,'
and directly the exhibitors and their
staff mustered into the building; the in
telligence flew like wild lire that Mr..
Glisser was in custody for breaking into
the stalls at night.
1t was shock to large circle of his
acQuaintances and admirers, who couid
hardly belief it,; and when ON his lodg-
ings being searched, the bulk of the ar
ticles missing from the counters were
found, the thing seemed more Incredible
still.
Mr.. Gllsser's proved very bad case,
and he was lost 10 sight for some years

An Iron Wedding,

q Busby, celebrated his sIron wedding"
one day last week, and invited about one
hundred and twenty guests TO the we'd
ding. or course each person felt COM
PEELED to bring a present of some kind,
and each did. When MIR. and Mrs. Jones
arrived, they had pair OF fat-irons.
Ali hands laughed at the coincidence,
and there was great merriment when the
Browns arrived with two pairs of fiat
came in, with another pair of flat-irons,
the laughter became perfectly convul-
sive. There was, however, something
less amusing about it when the Thomp-
sons arrived with tour flat-irons wrapped
up in brown paper. And Busby's
face actually looked grave when the
three Johnson girls were ushered into
the parlor carrying flat-iron apiece.
Each one of the succeeding guests
brought flat-irQps, and there was no
break in the continuance uutil old Curbp
came from Philadelphia with y cast-iron
cow-bell; and at any other time he would
have treated such present with scOrn
but now he was actually grateful DO Mr..
Curby, and he was about to embrace him
when the Walsinghams came in with the
new kind OF double pointed .fat-irons
with the wooden handles. And all the
rest of the guests brought the same arti-
cles, except Mr.. Rugby, and he had with
him patent stand for holding fat-irOns.
Busby got madder aud madder every
minute, and by the time the company
had ali arrived he~was nearly insane
with rage, and he went to bed leaving
his wife to entertain the guests. In the
morning they counted up the spoils, and
found they had two hundred and thir-
teen fiat-irons, one stand, and cow
bell. And now the Busbys have cut the
Smiths and Browns and Jacksons -and
Thompsons and the rest entirely, for
they are convinced that there was pre-
concerted design to play trick upon
them. The fact, however, is that the
hardware stores in that place had an
overstock OF flat-irons, and sold them
at an absolutely low figure, and Busby's
friends went for the cheapest thing they
could find, as people always do on such
occasions. Busby thinks he will not Gel.

THOSE diamonds sent by the Khedive
of Egypt to Mrs. Minnie Fitch still re-
main in the New York Custom House,
where they are held by the authorities
who are waiting for Lieutenant Fitch to
step up with $17,5OO ana pay the Govern
ment duty. 1t thus leaks. out that the
diamonds, instead ofbeing worth $4OO, 600,
are really valued at $4,000. A resolu-
tion authorizing Lieutenant Fitch to
"receive them" was passed by Congress,
but by the accidental omission OF the
words "duty Free" he must either pay
the 1850 or leave them in the Custom
House till the assembling of the next
Congress.

New Hampshire in 1775, under the reign

her descendants, who are limited in
means, and the town of Medlord
contributes three dollars month for her
support. She now sells her photograph
to help out. The special feature of this
ease is that, like all centenarians, Mrs.
Hawley is OF the humble class. No
