We are reliably informed that de-
tachment of the "Mulligan Guards" had
a parade one day this week, at we'll
known establishment on West Main
street. After the parade, says our in
formant, one of the officers of the de-
tachment seized a peculiar vessel of
earth enware, which he mistook for
pitcher, and rushed to the nearest saloon,
and had the same filled with foaming
lager, with which to regale the "weary
sojers," and recuperate their exhausted
systems. In turn, the vessel containing
the Teutonic beverage, was seized, by
the Guards, who each did ample justice
to his reputation as a quaffer of that
kind of liquid, until it reached the last
man on the roll. He took a long and
steady "Pull" at it. Selling for an in
slant to catch his breath for a second
round, his eye took in the peculiar shape
of the vessel, and he instantly startled
his comrades by the exclamation

gathered closely about the speaker, and
scrutinized the vessel which he held.
Then the situation was taken in at once
and uproarious Ghal hal--haw ugh!'l

consoling remark of the officer that "it
was never used before, boys" tended tc
reassure the Guards, who laughed all
the more heartily and boisteriously al
the information,-and the procession
}. proceeded to move on!

A man in Michigan procured di-

another woman. The latter, however,
got tired waiting, and married another
man on the day the divorce was granted.
Then the fellow hesitated whether or not
to try to make it up with his wife again,
and while he was -hesitating, his wife
married another fellow. This is what
would naturally be called getting left all

around the house unbound, soon become
