DIfIic ulty in Getting Married.

A couple in Kingston, who under
took to get married sometime since,
went, accompanied by the bridesmaid
and grOOmsman, to a church, and were
ushered into the sacred edilice and es-
corted to the altar by the sexton, who,
however, got the parties rather mixed
up, stationing the bridesmaid next
to the bridegroom, and the bride and
grOOmsman i'll corresponding wrong
places. The clergyman, not noticing
the mistake, went on with the cere-
mony, and began marrying the brides
maid to the bridegroom, when the
bride served an injunction" on him
by exclaiming that she was the marry
ing party. The mistake having been
remedied the clergyman made another
attempt, and the performance went
smoothly along until it came time for the
bridegroom to produce the ring, which
was essential to the completion of the
ceremony. But when that gentleman
felt in his vest pocket it wasn't there;
in the other, not there; in the trousers
pocket, not there; and then he felt to
The bottom of the remaining pocket and
finally exclaimed:
well, sure; there is a hole in my
pocket, and the ring has slipped down
into my boot"
And the only way to finish the cere-
mony was for the bridegroom to sit
down, pull off his boot, take the ring,
pull ON his boot, and put the ring where
it ought to have gone, and walk out
with his bride, all of which he did.

Not i'm stock.

Four persons were brought up at a
police court a short time ago, for dis.
turbance at an inn. n part of the
charge against them was the order Civ
Ell by them for supper. Solomon tool
his seat first, placed his hands upon tn,
table, and issued the following:
Waiter, bring me DISH of fried
mill-stones, and two church steeples
cold, without sugar"
George next gave his order:
"A pint of town-pumps done brown,
with "A spoon in it,"
Stephens was next on the list and or.
dered as follows:
Landlord, bring me quart of sta
ton clerks, two fried contractors, and
a boot-jack."
Mr.. Driver came last, and made the
following request:
Landlord, bring the Thames Tun-
mel stuffed with onions, and IA pint of
South Sea bubbles, warm without"
The simple landlord, after consider
ing a minute, merely answered.:
Il ha'n't got 'em gentlemenp' when
a row took place.

A Remarkable Escape.

One of the citizens of Danbury, Conn
who had just returned from West, was
telling in Merrill's grocery store, of a
narrow escape he had from terrible
death. He was crossing a long rail
road bridge on foot, when he was sur
prised to see a locomotive coming
around curve and tearing iowa rd
him at terrific speed. The bridge
was too narrow to allow of escape at
either side, and ne did not dare to
jumb into the yawning abyss below.
In flash he took i'm the situation and
formed ms plan of action. He started
on a swift run toward the on-cOming
locomotive, and when within few
feet of it he concentrated all his nerve
and muscles into one effort and leaped
straight up into the air. The fearful
monster shot under him, and he came
= own on the bridge, saved from death
but seriously shaken up by the descent.
There was moment of deep silence
upon the close of this narration. Then
one of the company sighed, and shut
up his knife, and Unexpectedly said:
what is the use of presence of mind
when a man can lie like that?"

A Petrilled Forest in the Desert.

From Mr.. David Rideout, who has
been engaged in preparing a section of
nftrilied tree for the centennial eXhi-
bitiOn, we learn the following, relative
to the petrified forest in the desert of
northwestern Humboldt. On the plain.
about thirty miles west of the Black
Rock range of mountains stands one of
the greatest natural curiOsities ever
discovered in Nevada. 1t is IA petrilied
forest, in which the stumps of many of
the trees, now changed into solid rock,
are now standing. There are no living
trees or vegetation of any kind other
than stunted sage brush in the vicinity.
Some of these ancient giants of a forest
which tlourished perhaps thousands of
years ago, when the climate of Nevada
was undoubtedly more favorable for
the growth of luXuriant vegetation
than at present, rival in size the big
trees of California. Stumps transform
ed into solid rock, stand in an upright
position, with their roots imbedded i'm
the soil, as when growing, that measure
from fifteen to twenty-siX feet In cir
conference, and the ground in the
vicinity is strewn with the trunks and
limbs, which retain their natural shape
and size. Mr.. Rideout, determined TO
secure a section of one of these trees
for the centennial exhibition, with two
other men spent twelve days in cutting
it from the stump. This was accom-
plished 10y drilling all around the tree
and separating it with wedges. The
specimen is three feet high and eigh-
teen feet in circumference, and Its esti-
mated weight is three tons. 1t stands
on the stump from which it was sew
cred, ready to be loaded on wagon.
Mr.. Rideout does not feel able to incur
the expense of bringing il by team to
the railroad, though he had once
made arrangements TO do SO, but the
other party to the agreement failed to
perform his part. He is anxious to call
the attention of the centennial com
missiOners to the matter, and see if
they will not furnish the means to get
it to the railroad. The country i'm
which it IS 81 tuated is an inviting field
for biologists.

Expenses of the Revolutionary war:

This only includes what was paid out
of the United States Treasury, and is
exclusive of the debts incurred during
the same period by the several thirteen
States. The entire cost of the war, EN-
bracing what was spent by the States
and what was diSbursed by the United
States, in specie, was S135, 81, 703.

June Magazines.

The June atlantic is published early,
doubtless for the purpose of furnishing
its readers with Whittier's Centennial
Ode. with the accompanying music 10y
Prof. Paine. coincident with the open
ing of the Exhibition. Unfortunately
it happens that Philadelphia paper
has in some mysterious way forestalled
the magazine. and our readers have al
ready seen the Ode. Tie music. how
ever, Is the 4ildRtic'S exclusive possess
ion. There are other articles i'm the
number that are worth particular at
tention. Mark Twain's sketch on the
man without conscience is hardly at
his best. The conceit tlfat a mans
conscience is larger in his youth, and
that it gradually shrinks away 10 dwar-
6shness as ''age gathers round one the
mantle of years, = is acute and subtitle.
Charles Francis Adams, Jr., has a
present interest and permanent value.
Henry James, .ir., begins new novel,
THE American, whose opening chap
ters are spirited and promising. Mr..
Howells' paper on "a Shaker Village"
is in his characteristic vein and gives
us one of the best, most truthful, and
most adequate pictures of the Shaker
life and habits that we have seen. 1t
exposes the inaccuracy of good many
popular impressions regarding this peo-
pie, and pays them a high tribute for
their courage, honesty and heroic sell
abnegation. The closing suggestion is
especially touching and pathetic. Mrs.
Kemble's gossip is more than usually
bright and chatty, bringing the reader
to the beginning of her career. Car
dime d. Swan writes of the QUAINT
ness OF the Judicious Hooker" and
Miss ;. +. Hopkins has grotesque and
well-written sketch entitled In the
Quaintsh Stage" The poetry of the
number is of higher order than usual.
The editorial departments are notice
able for their fulness and excellence.
The number is the best of the year.

THE DEATH OF SITTING BULL-1HE BODY
FULLY Observation-Disclosures o. THE
STRENGTH OF THE HosTILEs.
BISMARCK, d. r., July 2O.-Sitting Bull
was undoubtedly killed in the Little
Horn battle. His body was recognized
by Fred Girard, an interpreter at Gen.
eral Terry headquarters, who has been
among the Indians for the past twenty
six years, and the description of Sitting
Bull given by William Courtalley, of the
Berthold Agency, who knew him well, is
a perfect description of the body found
which was at first supposed to be that of
Sitting Bull.
EVIDENCE OF AN INDIAN.
Goodnow, a Sioux of Fort Rice, who
two days before the battle, gave de-
tailed plan of Sitting Bulls campaign,
Including the abandoned village and the
larger village into which it was intended
to decoy the troops, together with de-
scription Of the ground, gives similar
description Of Mr.. S. Bull. In further
confirmation Of the theory that he was
killed we have statement which comes
through an Indian chief Grass at
Standing Rock, that he was killed, to-
gether with Black Moon, Crazy Horse
and six other chiefs.
STRENGTH OF THE INDIANS.
The statement that Sitting Bulls band
of Uncpapas lost 160, and that the en-
tire Indian loss was between 800 and 400,
is renewed To show that Sheridan still
underestimates the strength Of the hos
tiles, | give you the following facts
Last week a count of all the Indian
lodges in and bout Standing Rock, in
cluding the scattering lodges for twenty
miles up and down the river, was made,
and the number proves to be 297, OIL
|, about 800 Indians, when there should
be 1000.
Mrs. Gallopin, well known to Official:
as reliable Indian woman. says there
are not to exceed 200 men at the agency
where there should not be less thar
1000 warriors.
From which it would seem that the In
dians have been reinforced with nearly
1000 warriors from this agency alone
and those well armed.

Why Dyer's Letter was not Published

ST. LOUIS, July 21'-The reason why
the Attorney General refused to publish
the letter written by District Attorney
Dyer in behalf Of Avery is given.
col. Dyer saidin conversation that he
had written letter for Avery, but that
he had put something into it that would
make Grant hopping mad. He was asked
what this was. and he replied that it was
a sentence at the close of the letter to
the effect that, although Avery was un-
doubtedly guilty, as regarding the in
dictment, he, Dyer, was satisfied that he
had through the whole of his criminal
career at Washington been used as the
instrument of others who were much
higher in authority than he. In response
to further inquiry as to who was in
cluded in this reference, Col. Dyer said,
II meant Babcock, and l intended to
hint at others in the same house with
him, and didn' say word amiss either"
