INNOCENCE AND o8sTtNAcY
The other evening Detroit joker (sass th
Freq Press) slipped pink 1ove-letter into th
pocket OF etaid old citizen as they were ridin
on the 6treetcar. OF course the old citizen
wife made dive for his oyercoat pockets as sh
passed through the hall, and when she had dj
gested the letter she determined to commit sui
eide. While going upstairs after her bonnet
she got mad and changed her mind. Walking
into the room where he sat, before chee1fa
FIRE, abe exclaimed:
Gloves you better than her own life, eh?"
| NAV-NuaL5 Ae inquired.
*'And abe wants to know how thtt baId-headet
wife Of yours gets along, eh ?"

"And ehe wants $50 to buy her set OF fuss,
does she?''
Why, Mary,-wnx what are you talking
about?"
"0h! it's come out-l've got the proofs y
she shouted, making a dash for his hair.
The worthy man has swoEn the most solemn
oaths to hislnnocence offered to let her employ

TH3 EMPRESS EUGENE.
| 4 writer in the New York Tribune, speaking
Of Mrs. Kemble's "Old Woman'a Gossip" IN
the atlantic for November, says: Il il Curl
Gus to hear Of the Empress Eugenie, in the cnrly
| days OF her married life, when cortainly she
might still have been beautiful without the aid
| Of art, with s'her face painted like a mask, not
| only white and red, but darkened under the
eyes, and with the veins on her temples traced
! in hue on the white enamel m1th which
they vera plaate1ed." I doubt it any
other royal woman Was ever SO fond
Of dress as the fair Empress- Writing
to friend during her husbands absence in the
campaigns OF Magenta and Solferino, she en-
larged On her anxiety for him, and cried out in
her extremity: I" An, ma chere, que1e existence!
je ne fails que trembfer, ct essayer des robes. :"
think she Was the first inventor Of contri-
vance for letting down her superb tolettes from
over her head by machinery, that they might not
be subjected to the disturbing touch Of even the
most adrolt tirewonap. She WAS very pious,
this painted beauty; but when she was not pray
ing. her chief amusement was to study the effect
OF costumes On set Of Me-slZe dolls she had.
HIS FEELINGS.
Last night (says the V,cksburs Herald), as
fisky colored youth Was walking up Clay street,
he WAS accosted by a colored acquaintance, who
remarked: Well. Brutus, deg say you iz in
lovo?" s'I liz, Uncle Abra'm-I don't deny de
alleged allegation" s'And how does you feel,
Brutus? ?" ''You has stutfed your elbow agn
post or sumthin' afore now, hasn't you, Uncle
dc feelin' dat runs up ger arm?" II does"
81 Well. take dat teeln', add 100 per cent. mix it
wid de incest ha'r-oil iu town, sweeten wild
honey, aud den you kin imagine how feel! :"
MISCELLANEOUS NOTES.
If it hadn't been for the pu'i-bac}1 style Of
dress. man in Iowa would have married q wom-
an With wart On ono Of her knees. He saw it
in time.
The suggestion that ladies' dresses may be
made Of the newly discovered unbreakable aud
elastic glass, prompts the hope that it isn't the
Transparent kind.
