A LEAP YEAR STORY.
A Breach OF Promise Suit that may
be Instituted In Nevada.

be Instituted In
Iron the Austin (Nev.) Reveille.l
There is a young gentleman in this
town who is looked upon as a sort of
w~oman-hater, and who, it was believed
until recently, would not marry the
handsomest woman On earth if every
hair in her head was a Koh-i-noor
diamond. On account of leap year some
young ladies concluded to put up a Job
on this young man and arranged it for
one of their number to propose marriage
to him, while the others watched the
fun through holes bored in a partition.
The young gentleman was invited to
call at the house of the young lady who
was to do the proposing, and on the dss-
ignated evening he was there. seated in
the parlor, while the accessories to the
plot We're stationed at their eye-holes.
After some desultory conversation about
the weather and the club party the young
lady suddenly dropped on her knees
before the gentleman, and in endearing
terms declared her passions:
Darling" she said, Il long have
loved thee, but the cruel Conventional
tiles OF society have forced me to conceal
my passion. Leap year, which gives to
oppressed woman one blessed privilege,
is now here, and I take advantage Of it
to tell thee 1 adore thee. Look not thus
coldly on me, dearest; spurn me not
from your presence. See me on my
Bonded knees imploring that you will
not say me nay. Grant me but one kiss
from those ruby lips; fold me to thine
arms and say that thou wilt be mine
mine, only mine, forever and for aye"
Contrary to expectation, the gentle
man displayed not the least establishment
during the foregoing recital, and when
it was concluded he went over to the
stove, and, folding his hands under his
coat-tails, thus replied:
I'm told your dad WINS a hundred
shares of North Carson, and that you've
got two brindle bulldogs in your OWE
right and without incumbrance; like
wise | am informed that you are a good
hand making %slapjacks and biscuit; thai
you don't chaw gum, which, by the way
is powerful expensive these hard times
In view of these facts l consent, anc
leave it to you to name the day"
.Horriied, the lady tried to explain
that it was all a joke, but the gentleman
would not accept any such explanation
and threatens a breach of promise sui
unless she iulfills her promise, in which
event he will summons the peppers a
witnesses.

Chamberlain in South Carolina. The

support and indorse him il he maintains
this just and impartial attitude. He has

attempt only because he could not get an
assurance either from General Ru-

be supported. He telegraphed an urgent
appeal to President Grant, and when
Senator Patterson went to the White
House to deliver it he found, to his mex.
preSSlble disgust, that the President was
closeted with Mr.. Hewitt.
