In making bets on the result, take
care you do not get inveigled into
the following:
"If Tilden is elected to be the
next President of the United States,
I'll bet one hundred dollars that he
is not sworn in on the 4th of
March"
The ''sell' of this is that the 4th
of March, 1877, comes on Sunday,
and the President elect will not be
inaugurated until the following day.
For the twenty-four hours between
the expiration of President Grant,
term and the Inauguration of Gov,
Tilden, Senator Ferry, of Michigan,
will be the president of the United
States.

A Woman Arrested for Kissing a
Nan,
From the Memphis Avalanche.

FROM Cne memphis AValdncn6.
A rather novel case was taken
before Esquire Miller yesterday,
being no less than a prosecution
for malicious kissing. designated
on the warrant as breach of
peace. The party causing the ar
rest was negro named Charles
Glosson, and the malicious kisser
was Ella Daily, who, It is hardly
necessary to state, is also cOlored.
The prosecutor has a wife, and he
stated that Elias malice did not
consist in the mere act of kissing
him, which ordinarily he did not
object to, but in persisting in kis-
ing him in the presence of his
wife, which had a tendency to
make things unpleasant at home,
and was expensive, when the
broken crockery and frying pans
that had to be replaced where
taken into the account. Esquire
Miller, after patiently hearing the
case, suspended judgment during
the good behavior of Ella, who
left the Office, remarking that she
would "hit dat niger wild a
brick " for having her arrested.

AN EXAsPERATED BRIDE. =
The Journal de Paris tells a very
dr0ll story Of an interrupted mar
rage ceremony in a village near
Metz. 1t appears that the bride
groom had announced his age at
thirty-siX years, but on having to
produce a certificate of birth be-
fore the Marie of the place he was
found to be six years older. This
so eXasperated the young bride
that when her turn came to pro-
nOunce her consent to the union
she said NO" very distinctly.
The bridegroom, amid the excite
ment of the assembled guests, in
treated her to pardon this subter-
fuge, which he laid to his ardent
passion for the bride. The guests,
afraid of losing the opportunity of
a genial feast at the cost of the
bridegroom, also endeavored to
persuade the bride to say yes, but
Of no avail, Greatly Offened at
having her dignity lowered, and
being sighted in this manner, the
bride would not give way, and
the guests, to their great regret,
had to depart from the scene dis
appointed, The same afternoon,
however, the bride, having had
time for reflection, let herself be
persuaded to grant pardon to the
bridegroom for sighting her by
his false statement. and, arm in
arm, they went to the magistrate
again, by whom they were united
in the bonds of matrimony.

How a woman Made a Fortune.

Six years ago Mrs. Mary Ahart, says
the Laramie Sentinel, was living in a
little tent on the edge Of the town.
Her whole worldly possessions consis.
ted of this tent, straw bed, two OF
three boxes which served as chairs and
table, a seven or eight year old girl.
and two cows and calves. She sold the
spare milk of these two COWS, Carrying
it around town with tin pail, and
with the product, and from the work
she did for neighbors supported her
self and child. When she could get
three or five dollars ahead she would
buy another calf or yearling. 1t is not
our purpose to trace her progress up to
the present time, but the result Is that
now, in less than seven years, she has
several hundred head Of cattle, a fine
farm, with nice buildings aad i'm
prOvements, comfortable, even lux
uriOus, home and, instead OF carrying
milk around by hand, rides in her cwn
carriage. Her daughter Is an edueat-
ed and accomplished young lady.
Mrs. Ahart's property is now valued
at from $4,000 to $50, 900. and she bad
made it all by honest industry and
good management. She has had no
outside help. She never had q Gov
ernment contract nor fell heir to any
property. "By industry we thrive" +"

One hOment-A Hint to Those Who
Have NOT Learned What Pro-
cPasIInaIIOn Steals.

In a popular downtown restaurant
there was q waiter who had an un
pleasant habit of saying zone mo
ment." Otherwise he was q good
natured, affable man, who did his
work well, but he was unable to breaE
himself Of his one failing. II, while
he was wiping knife or q spoon, 8
customer asked him for the salt, hC
would say, "One moment" finish
the knife, and then hand the salt.
II he was polishing glasses and q
gentleman who had q cup OF coffee
beside him asked for the sugar, the
waiter would not set the glass down,
serve the guest, and then resume his
labor, but tone moment" and the
sugar afterward. If the customer
failed to see it in that light and re-
pested his request, the waiter would
give bis napkin depreeatory flourish
and impart to his reply slight accent
OF reprOaeh, "O-oDe moment, sir.n
Last week the waiter went over to
Jersey to visit some friends, and after
q day of innocent hilsrity he returned
was to embark for home. While
waiting for the train, he strolled
out on the track and stood looking
down the long perspective ofthe road.
He did not observe an express train
that was boom down from the oppo-
site direction, but be heard the warn
ing voice OF man on the platform
shouting
"Get off the track ! Get off the
track ~
"One moment, sir :" was the in
voluntary reply, and he tarried for an
instant to straighten kink in his
watch chain but the express train
was in hurry, and in one moment
he had gone where moments are as
years.

rides in the winter time from Berue
TO Balse, and has forgotten his gloves
how must he manage so that his
hands shall not freeze ?'
"He must make fists out of them, q
said tbs Jew.
The ninth wss the last. This one
asked
"HOw can five persons divide five
eggs 50 that each man shall receive
one, and still one remain in the
dish ?'i
"The last man must take the dish
with the egg" said the Jew, "and he
can let it lie there as long as he
/ pleases."
But now came his turn, and he de-
termined to make a good sweep. Al
ter many preliminary compliments
he asked, with an air of misehievOus
friendliuess.
How can a man fry two trouts in
three pans, so that trout may lie in
each pan ?"
No one could answer this, and one
after ths other gave him a twelve
kreutZer piece but when the ninth
desired that he should solve the riddle,
he rocked to and fro, shrugged his
shoulders, and rolled his eyes.
81 am a poor Jew" he said st last .
"Whst has that to do with it ?''
cried the rest. 'Give US the answer"
"You must not take it amiss," said
the Jew, "for am a poor Jew"
At last, after much persuasion and
many promises that they would do
him no harm, he thrust his hand into
his pocket, took out one of the twelve
kreutzer pieces that be had won, laid
it upon the table, and said, 81 do not
know the answer any more than you.
Here are my twelve kreutzers.n
When the others heard this they
opened their eyes, and said that this
was scarcely according to their agree
meut. But as they could not restrain
their laughter, and were wealthy and
good-natured men, and as the Jew had
helped them to while away the time
from Saint Welt to Schslampi, they

URdIgnI1ed Action.

The boys in Sioux City have a good
deal Of fun with the occasional squsws
who ramble in and around town.
"Winnebago Jane" is the favorite OF
these ramblers. She is honest, she
doesn't steal, and she's q full blown
Indian girl, with her ears full of
rings and her head full of mis-
chief. She comes to town for
money, and an Indian will do almost
anything for money. Winnebago
Jane went into corner drug store
where there were three men, rather
one man and two boys. The man
was stately, ehureh-gOing city Of
fetal, conscientious and correct.
The two boys slyly gave Winnie
bsgo Jane a nickel apiece il she
would capture and kiss the stately
official. She flew wildly at him, and
the two finally fell to the floor in the
squabble, and they rolled over
and over and got sadly mixed up.
When the contest was over
and WinnebagO Jane had won,
she joyfully departed with her
honestly earned ten cents. That's
the way the boys Of Sioux City have
fun with the Indians. The stately
official begged the boys to say nothing
about his experience with the abo-
rigines, Tut the boys couldn't keep it.

Present FOR the President.

A magnificent French clock is now
on exhibition in the window of q
Philadelphia iewelry store, which is
for presentation to President Grant,
after It has been shown at the Gen.
tennial Exposition. 1t was patented
by the French Republican govern
ment, and made expressly for the
Centennial Exposition, at a cost of
8, 500 francs, by Mons. LIE Moreau, 55
Rue Paradis Poissoniere, Paris, and
fifty-five of his finest mechanics, to
represent the signers of the Declar-
alton of Independence of the United
States. This clock runs ninety days,
shows the minutes, day, date, and
month Of the year, also showing four
quarters OF the moon. The move
ment is of the finest French make,
striking the hours and half-hours upon
a fine silver-toned bell. 1t has fiIe
exposed ruby pallets and double-lndex
regulator, and is accurately adjusted
to heat, cold and position. 1t loses
but four minutes and fourteen and q
half seconds in year. The case is
perfectly dust-proof, made Of the
finest French marble, ornamented
with gold and Malachite paintings.
1t weighs III pounds.

caught fire, and were blown by a
