The Prince of Wales seems to be
"roughing it in the bush," in India. A
correspondent OF the London Neaos, CIV
ing an account Of an elephant hunt in
which sWales" participated, says:
When he emerged from the jungle his
clothes were torn to ribbons, and there
wereIspots of blood on his scratched face.
He had lost his hat in the first few
steps, and altogether, as my informant
stated, s'the aspect OF general dilapida-
tion which he presented was a Caution"
There remained for him, providen-
TALLY, to escape another danger. While
driving back in the dark, in doubling q
sharp turn, the right wheel Of the
Princes carriage went over the side of
wooden bridge, down into ditch
about two and a half feet deep. The
carriage and horses upsetinto the ditch
and the Prince and his .c0mpanions were
thrown in O heap on to the opposite
bank. Fortunately the ground was
soaked with rain, and there were no
stones about, else the consequences Of
the mishap might have been serious.
The horses kicked and plunged violent
ly, but were cut out, and another car
riage WAS speedily brought up. The
Prince meanwhile stood by, apparently
in no way troubled by the inlsadyen.
fture, for he laughed heartily over the
upset, and called out to take care that
his elephants tail, the trophy OF his
days sport, should not be lost In the
lconfusion.

A Sensible Custom.

A correspondent of the indianapolis
Journal writing from among the Swiss
says:
Another very excellent custom is that
when young couple get married, and
expect to go to housekeeping, they make
out q list of articles that are necessary
to furnish house suitable for people in
their circumstances. This list is quiet
ly circulated among their friends, who
each mark of the list what they intend
to give. Thus when the wedding day
comes, the marriage gifts are found to
be just the things the young couple need
family as heir looms for future
generations. have seen many
pieces of furniture OF this kind that have
been in families over a hundred years.
Is not the custom of these simple moun-
taineers a great deal better than the
senseless one SO prevalent with us, of
giving young couple large quantity
of napkin-rings, pickle castors, card re-
receivers, and bijouterie enough to last
them their lives, which are all ostenta-
tiousiy displayed and list Of the do
nors published in the papers, when often,
after the return from the wedding tour,
which custom has made imperative, they
have not the means to furnish even a cot
tage in the plainest manner, and are
obliged either to board or begin the
world in debt. Would not the money
spent by kind friends in useless articles
have done them great deal more good
| if this excellent Swiss custom had been
| followed?

LOVE AND LONGvIEw.
The Troubles Of a Son-in-law.

=
The !"boys' OF the old 34th Ohio In
fantry, several companies Of which were
raised in this city, will readily call to
mind the dashing little soldier OF COM
pany G., named Ed. Cahill. Soon after
his return from the field, Ed. was for
tunate enough to captivate the affections
OF very estimable lady, a daughter Of
j ohm K. Green, Esq, one OF the Direc-
tors Of Longview Lunatic Asylum.
Mr.. Green does not share his daugh-
ter's good opinion OF her husband, fact
due perhaps to the circumstance that
the .dashing Ed, instead OF getting the
consent OF Green pere to wed bis daugh-
ter, ran away and wed her, but after
wards the breecb between the two gem
tlemen was partially healed, and the
happy couple settled down 70 house
keeping on the farm Of John K, near
Montgomery,
Ey5rythiig was lovely for awhile;
but yesterday, from some unexplained
reason, MIR. Green took II into his hesd
to get rid OF his son-in-law,. and the plan
had ut least the merit of novelty.. He
ems to Officer Montgomery and ditect-
ed him to arrest Ed. Il was done, and

in wagon and imprisoned, but made
his escape soon after. Now, let all this
talk about mothers-in-law be stopped
and give the old man chance.

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.--The weather To-

ers. A brilliant double rainbow hung
over the city this morning for some time,
and attracted much attention.
The crew Of the steamship Celtic,
which Thomassen, the dynamite mon
ster, had intended to destroy last Octo-
Der, state that among Thomassen's lug
gage, taken on at Liverpool, was port
manteau of unusual size but extraordi-
nary weight.
It took two men to carry it on board.
When Thomassen was leaving the vessel
at Nice, the portmanteua had become SO
light that little boy might have carried
it. Spots Of grease were found in
Thomassen's room, and it is supposed he
had set up all night and taken out the
contents Of the portmanteau, which, tits
thought, must have been one OF his IN
fernal machines, and got rid OF 1t by
throwing it overheard. sHaving failed
to obtain the insurance on his pretended
shipment of specie, he had no motive for
destroying the vessel.
