when the syndicate endeavored to sell the 4
per cent bonds, they received, instead Of

A MARRIAGE BROKEN OFF AT THE AL.
TAR.

The Chicago Tribune relates that the guests at
recent expected marriage in a certain church
on the West Side were treated to a singular and
rather startling sensation at the very moment
when the connubial knot was to be tied The
bride and groom were young couple, and the
invited company had entered the house of wor-
ship and the attendants ON the couple had taken
| their places around the altar, while the minister
| remained In waiting to perform the ceremony
| The bride alighted from the carriage, and the
groom stepped bithey and lightly after her and
upon her long trail. As he did so the fair
lady uttered low cry and exclaimed sharply |:
"Oh, dear; how awkward yoa are" The
young mans face colored be stumbled off the
rich garment and he gave his arm to the lady
while laboring under a confused mind. The
pair walked into the church and down the aisle
to the altar. The ceremony proceeded; the min
ister asked the bride if she would accept the
groom for her welded husband, and received the
usual affirmative answer, and was about to inter-
rogate the young man, when the latter, impulsive-
~ and Unexpectedly, said to the BRIDE: "Oh,
dear, how awkward you are - and quickly turn
ing on his heel, walked out of the edifice without
another word of explanation, leaving the aston.
shed bride standing at the altar in meek bewi ider.
ment, and the minister and CUES Is in blank amaze
ment. The young man went his way in q car
rage, and the disappointed bride and the maids
who sought to comfort her left the church for
their homes. The occurrence was an actual one,
and has created no small amount of gossip in the
vicinity where the church Is situated.

JAPANESE WRESTLING.

In the centre OF the amphitheatre q mound has
been raised on which ring has beeu formed by
bankings up the earth to the height of q few
inches. Two grave-looking elderly men, appar-
emily the Judges, now seat themselves upon mats
on the mound, and unfurling their paper umbre las
hight their pipes, and commence smoking in dgni-
he'd composure, while the two wrestlers doff their
kimonos (robes) and enter the ring perfectly max
ed but for cloth round the lons. They are very
lar removed from our idea of what an athlete
ought to be, for though muscular they have an
ungainly heaviness OF figure. Weight is indeed
thought OF such Importance in these contests that
men are fattened for them like prize cattle, un-
der the mistaken belief that sach size is an advsn-
tage to the fortunate possessor! A tedious pre-
imlnary performance has to be gone through be-
lore the actual business of wrestling commences.
Each man comes to the centre OF the ring, and
squstting down in front of his antagonist, raises
each leg IN turn. and then brings it down heavily
on the ground. at the same time striking his

Is meant as sort OF challenge; but it has an ex-
tremey udicrous effect, at least to foreigners to
see two very fat men employing themselves
Both men now quit the ring and take q draught
OF water and pinch of salt while they rub their
arms and hands with mud, in order that thev NAV
get better mold of each others naked body.
AT length they re-enter the ring, and the real
struggle now begins They squat in front of
each other like two huge frogs and strike their
hands together, at the same time uttering curl
Gus Kissing noise, which gets louder and louder,

Heavy blows and slaps are exchanged freely in the
effort to close, but umpires are behind each
shouting out cautions at any attempted infringe

have fairly got hold of each other many a cunning
feint and twist is shown and the struggling bodies
and limbs entwine SO rapidly that the pair look
like one gigantic octopus. AT length the bout 10
concluded by one man being hurled bodily out of
the ring into the crowd outside, and the cheering
from tne excited spectators is absolutely deafen-
ing. The victor stalks about the ring for some
Time IN great dignity, receiving the congratula-
tons OF his friends, and then repeats his former
challenge, striking his thighs heavily and Growing
