had his bridal supper attached by a
heartless tailor, and had to invoke the
assistance of his father-in-law prema-
turely.
Mrs. MACKENsIE, whose elopement
caused so much comment a few weeks

VIENNA uses 100000 pounds of genu-
inc meerschaum, worth over S1,OOO,-
GOO, yearly, and 100000 pounds of
m%oerschaum chips, which are ground
and compressed and made into imita-
ton pipes and cigar holders. The imi-
tation is carried to such perfection that
the best judges are often puzzled to dis

TOWARD the close of a ball in Paris,
the other night, a young lady who was
~passionately fond of dancing was asked
by her mother to prepare for the car
riage. "Only this last waltz" entreat-
ed the young girl, and she glided away

The famous Kentucky race-horse,
Ballankeel, has got through running
races. The epizooty has struck him
broadside and sticks to him so tena-
ciously that he is a gone nag, so far as

m time 100000 was offered for him
and rejected by his owner, VIM. Jen-
nings, of Louisville.

Mrs. GEoRGIANNA NICHOLS, of New
York, has a husband worth $500, 900,
and yet she wants a divorce. The
trouble is that Mr.. Nichols has a dread
full temper, and she can't live with him
in peace. He has frequently threatened
her life, and likewise his own. Half a
million of dollars ought to cover a null
titude of sins, the bad temper included,
but, after all, happiness is not to be
purchased at so much the pound.
In Burmah if two married persons
are tired of each others society, they
dissolve partnership in the following
touching but conclusive manner. They
light two candles, and, shutting up their
hut, sit down and wait quietly until they
are burned out. The one whose candle
burns out first gets up at once and

of goods to be displayed, but upon dis
charging her cargo will return to Hall
