Among the mysteries Of the marriage
license business is the following: Men
have been known to get out licenses but
the girls failed to respond to the call, so
the Tilted men put the licenses carefully
away as they had paid the sun of 50 so
for them. In five years thereafter the
license in n instance was returned ex-
ecuted, but the original girl had been
dead some years, so the chap married
another girl who assumed the maiden
name Of the dead one in order to save
the expense of procuring another legal
document authorizing marriage. This
swindle was discovered not long since in
the County Clerks Office on application
of a a to discover when a certain girl
had married. Her name did not appear
of record as she had married under the
name Of the former lady love Of the man.
One Of the orators at the O'Conuell
centennial supper last night attempted
to draw q happy parallel between the
great Irish patriot and the late United
States Senator from Tennessee. No
two characters were more dissimilar, and
they stood out a striking contrast to
each other, 0'Connell taking sides with
his section of country against the gem
eral government, and the latter taking
the opposite end of the string. O'Con-
nell and Andrew johnson in patriotism
history, etc, stood squarely face to face,
and the great Irishman was his superior
as a scholar, a man Of vast learning and
genius, a lawyer, an orator and a politics
in every sense Of the word. 0'ConnelI
in America would have been with the
rebels, but johnson in ireland would
have been with the English government.

Richmond Mhig.l
An elderly man named Beckwith, re-
siding in one Of the Peninsular counties.
came to this city last Thursday on bust
ness. He brought with him an old-fash-
Toned Aint-lock rife to have a stock and
lock put on On the cars he fell in con-
versation with a party of three gentle
men from this city, when one of them, to.
test the reality Of some of the extraordi-
nary ieats Of craftsmanship he boasted
of, offered him $40 to repeat some of
them, to which the other two added IS
between them. The trial came off in an
old field half a mile below Rockets s, and
was witnessed by about a dozen persons.
The old flint lock was fred seven times
and only once missed its aim. The old
gentleman, after making two shots al
small objects to one side, to get his hand
steady, as he said, handed bis son a DO
tato, and stationed him at fifty yards dis
lance, holding the potato between his
thumb and foreinger. The rifle cracked,
aud the potato fell cloven in three or four
pieces One of the larger pieces was
then thrown in the air, the markham
keeping at the same distance, and again
the shot told.
An inch and a half augur was then
produced, and a hole bored in the fence.
behind which was fastened a piece of
white paper. At a distance ~ofsixty yards
the marksman sent a ball clear through
the aperture, piercing the paper. At the
fourth shot, from sixty yards distance,
the bowl of the pipe, which the son was
smoking, a crushed. At the 6fth shot
a copper cent was thrown into the air
and hit. The sixth and seventh shots
were delivered at a blackened fve.eent
nickel piece thrown up by the son, stand
ing about thirty yards off. At the first
attampt the shot missed. The old gentle.
mai showed considerable modification,
and laid the blame upon a bystander who
at the critical moment sneezed loudly.
The next attempt, however, was an en-
tire success. The old man declined I'M
further trials Of his skill, and when Of
fered a sum Of money TO repeat his first
feat of shooting a potato from his sons
hand, be refused, saying he didn't car. to
try such experiments unless bis weapon
freshly cleaned, The exhibition was
the more remarkable from the fact that
the marksman was an old man, at least
fifty. His eye, however, is a clear, bright
gray. His appearance is that of a poor
The young man showed not the
least tremor or anxiety during the dam
gerous experiment upon himself. The
man, referring to his son, said, Bob

she was just STOPPING over to see if it

Never turn down the wick of a
kerosene lamp and leave it burning,
to save oil or for any other purpose.
The saving is so small as to amount
to almost nothing, the danger of an
explosion is increased and the accu-
mutation of noxius gas resulting
theretrom is hurtful in many ways
and often dangerous. A large FAM
lily of children were taken ill one
night and on gong to the nursery
the mother found the room nearly
snttocating, with lamp turned
down, whereupon the physician for
babe the use of a lamp at night, un-
less turned at full head. He said
he could quote many cases, one OF
ayoung girl subject to fits of faint.
ness, which if not induced, were
greatly increased by sleeping in a
room with the lamp almost out.
Besides the damage to health, it
spolls paper and curtains, soils the
mirrors and windows, and gives the
whole house an uneidy air and an
unwholesome odor.

MEDICINES.

A prominent New York physicisn lately
complained to Dundas Dick 4 Co. about
their Sandalwood Oil Capsules, stating that
sometimes they cured miracuiously, but
that patient Of his had taken them without
effect. On being informed that several imi-

his patient bad not been taking Durdas
Dick d Co.'S.
What happened to this physician may
have happened to others, and Dundas Dick
Co. have taken this method Of protecting
physicians, druggists and themselves and
preventing Oil Of Sandlewood from coming
into disrepute.
Physicians who once prescribe the Capsu-
les will continue to do 80, for they contain
the pure Oil in the best aod cheapest form.
Dunlas Dick i Co. use more Oil OF San
dalwood than all the Wholesale and retail
Druggists and Perfurers in the United
States combined, ana this is the sole reason
why the pure oil is sol, cheaper ir their
Capsules than in any other form.
Oil Of Sandalwood is fast supersedinx ev-
cry other remedy. sixty Capsules only being
required to insure safe and certain cure in
six or eight days. From 40 ether medicine
can this result be had.
