the defendant was SO unreasonably
amiable as to write :-''My Darling
Emily: I would give all / have on
earth and all of my future to be with
you one-half hour" Although he
seemed to be in a mood to mortgage
time and eternity in consideration of
half-hour, she read the letter, seized
a pen, and scOlded him for being an
''inconstant lunar"-whatever that
may be. When the defendant received
this missive he was watching the
stock.market with anxious interest,
and he had no time for romance. In
other words, he was long Of stock and
short of sentiment. So he instructed
his cashier to answer the letter. It
was done in this wise AIR. Heating

known within the last five or six years
in a little village of 1000 inhabitants,
in Wisconsin, dozen young ladies who
have died. They have nearly all died
of anemia, consumption, spinal men
nights, and similar diseases. Two
were married and died within the year.

The Vinous Preferences Of Variety
Great Men.

From the Pail Mall Gazette. 9
Frederick the Great, like agood many
other persons, had a particular affec.
ton for Tokay.
Napoleon preferred Chambertin, but
liked black coffee better.
Peter the Great thought MADEIRA the
best of wines, but regarded brandy as
superior to all other drinks.
Marshal Richelieu held Medocin the
highest honor, and Rubens had the
strange taste to esteem Marsala the
finest of wines.
John Bart, whom the French persist
in imagining to have been a great ad-
miral, drank confusion to the English
in bumpers of Beaune.
Rabelais thought that "the divine
bottle' never looked more natural
than when filled with Chablis.
Marshal Sake had decided predi.
lection for champagne, while the sc.
verify of Cromwell's countenance is
said to have occasionally relaxed at
the sight of a pipe of Malmsey.
The Emperor Charles V. would plan
his campaigns and devise more strin.
gent laws for the repression of heresy
over f1agon of good Alicante wine.
His rival, Francis l., consoled him
self for the loss Of everything but
honor with a cup of Xeres, or, as we
should say. glass of sherry.
Henry w., whether as a Catholic
or Protestant, was faithful to the Vint-
age of Sucesnes.
In more recent times the genius of
a Goethe was often fired with bottle
of Johannesburg.
Humboldt studied and wrote I'M
pleasant things about his friends under
the gentle influence of Sauterne.
Talleyrand often vowed an hour of
good nature to Chateau-Margaux.

A de-Runner's Story.

The Boston Post relates the follow
ing: "A small party of gentlemen
were at the table recently with the 10.
vial captain of one of the steamers
running between this port and Liver
pool, when the Englishman alluding to
the late civil war in this country, said
he had paid the States number of Wis.
its when it had cost him some risk to
do SO. He explained by saying that he
had been blockade runner, and he
became quite merry while showing
how he had lodged the federal cruis-
ers off Wilmington, N. c., and slipped
in and out to and from that harbor five
times during the last months of the
war. While on his sixth trip he was
chased ashore, his vessel destroyed and
be escaped to terra firma by the aid of
ladder over the steamers bow. ooh,
it was fun y exclaimed the captain !;
sometimes they plunked it into me
pretty hot, but they never did any
hurt to me in that way. Three rows
of cotton bales make pretty safe ar
NOR you know He then mentioned
incidentally that certain sentinel cut.
ter used to cause him the most trouble,
and that he finally determined to run
her down to prevent a warning signal
to the blockading fleet. 1T was
bloody dark night, continued the cap.
tain, and was slipping out close in
shore, when that -- cutter showed
itself in front of me- After a pause
he added, We'll, we. went right over
her she didn't signal any body that
night. WAS your steamer Kate, Cap
tain asked a very quiet gentleman at
the foot of the table. YES was the
somewhat surprised reply. well, I
was in command Of that cutter, and
you didn't run me down quite as much
as you think you did, A laugh at the
captains expense followed this. The
Kate wasn't hurt much either And
| was on the gun-boat that chased you;
we got her Off, and she is now some
where about New York. No one was
more amused with the turn things had
taken than the captain himself, and
philosophical remark that somebody
made about what the whirligig of time
may bring about, WAS lost in the gener-
al merrlment.
