Catching a Wlte.

THE marriage ceremony is performed
curiously by the Esquimaux. When a
boy kills polar bear, it is considered a
sufficient proof of his ability to maintain
family; he is therefore told to 60 and
catch a wife. Watching his opportunity
at night, he pounces upon victim and
attempts to carry her off; she, however,
struggles and shrieks until she has coli
lected around her group of sympathiz-
ers. She then turns upon her captor and
bites and scratches until he is compelled
to release her; then she darts into the
crowd and attempts to escape. The ex-
pectant bridegroom follows, but. not un-
molestcd. All the old women take
scourges of seal skin and tiagellate him
numerically as he passes, making at the
same time every effort to arrest him in
his course If, despite these little i'm
pediments to matrimonial bliss, he should
catch his victim, the biting and scratch
ing scene is renewed, and in all proba-
bility he is compelled to release her, and
the chase, with its attendant discomforts,
is resumed. Should he overcome all OBJ
stacles, the third capture proves effectu-
al, and the victim, ceasing her struggles,
is led away amid the acclamations and
rejoicings of the assembled multitude.

A York State Hermit.

Two MILES south of Albion, n. Y,
lives very singular person named An
thony Trip, an old man between seventy
and eighty years of age. He lives with
in mile and half of the Niagara Falls
Railroad, yet he has never seen it, nor
the locomotive whose whistle he daily
hears. For over halt ]. century he has
dwelt by himself, doing all his house
hold work. During all that time no
woman has crossed his threshold, and,
indeed, but few men. If woman ap.
preached his premises he would bar the
door and take refuge in the cellar With
men he would hold no intercourse ex.
cept when. absolutely necessary or una
voidable. Latterly he seems to have
taken even a stronger antipathy to his
fellow-creatures, hiding himself upon
the approach Of any person. When
Anthony Tripp was about twenty years
of age, SO the story runs, he fell in love
with pretty neighbor girl, and was en-
gagged to be married to her. But she
was tickle, and Tilted him. From that
time his life was embittered, and he
.foreswore all womank;nd. He was NOT
one of those who think there are as good
fish in the sea as ever were caught. The
falseness of this girl partially crazed him
and he has since dwelt apart from hu
mankind. This should be warning te
young women never to jilt lover.

IT is rather hazardous to name child
