Beating a Deadbeat.

For some days past an unknown fe-
male has been in the habit of making
an afternoon trip on the Woodward
avenue cars, generally getting aboard
at Jefferson avenue and riding to
Brady street. The first two or three
times she paid her fare promptly
enough, but the next trip she wrote
something on card, handed it to a
gentleman, and he paid her fare. The
next trip she waited till the driver
rang the fare bell, and when she saw
him looking through the door she ad-
vanced and held up card on which
was written:
II am deaf and dumb
The driver didn't want to create a
scene. aud she rode as dead head
Next day she went through the same
performance, but when she boarded the
car the third afternoon he was ready
fer her. He had every reason to be-
lieve her fraud, as she had been heard
To speak in the car coming down.
When sue entered the car she took a
seat and began reading. seeming to
have 10 earthly interest in the fare
question. There are no conductors on
tie route, and the driver controls both
doors. Before Brady street was
reached, the unknown female was the
only passenger She rose and rang
the bell at the street, bat the dri, er
paid not the least heed She rang
again, and he hurried up the horse.
Then she tried to pull the bell off the
car. but the man never turned his head
, The woman rushed to the door and
pushed and tugged till she was red in
the face. but not an inch would ii
bulge. Rushing 10 the front door she
pounded the glass in a furious manner,
aud by and by the driver accidentally
looked around. She gestured wildly,
aud as be shook his head in q stupid
way she held up her card, which said
am deaf and dumb" The driver
fumbled around for two or three minutes
and brought out small placard, on
which was printed:
80 am -
They were then about half = mile
above Brady street. making excellent
time. and the woman's indignation was
so great that she shook her list at the
driver and screamed ou:
I'm have you shot for this y

there were hundreds Of bodies in the
cave, or the black dust Of hundreds Of
boIles. As TO further discoveries he is
silent, but he has exhibited 70 several
we4lthy residents Of this State Curious
AMI valuable ornaments in gold, such as
have never been seen before.
Ia May, 1870, the squaw died, al
about that time the Indians made such
a search after Reynolds that he turned
his steps eastward, ami after weeks of
fatigue and adventure made his way
into Mexico. 1t was not until a year
ago that the ex soldier returned to
Michigan As he refuses TO account for
his time between 1870 and 1875 the
reader will. perhaps. suspect that Rey-
nolds had four stout walls around him
during thai time. Ever since his re-
tarn he has been cautiously and craftily
seeking TO interest men in his scheme
to revisit the mountains Who finally
advanced him the money necessary to
fit cut his band of treasure seekers is
known only to himself and the capital
lists, but it Is certain that he has means
to push his enterprise. He left here to-
day for San Diego. having two s,rsng-
crs with him, and other men from Mich
igan, enough to make up a land of
twenty-five, are to meet him in Chi
cago. Reynolds has traversed the State
and hunted up his old cavalry CON-
rades, and, as none of them will Inter
view on the subject, they must have
taken solemn oath of silence. and
feel confident they have big thing ia
prospect. 1t is believed that a Detroit
capitalist furnished the money, and. as
he has the reputation of being both
miserly and shrewd. it is fair to con-
clude that he had plain evidences of
great profit from the enterprise.

E An Amazon on skates can out
a prettier figure than ans. Agroup
of lasses were skating merrily on the
river near Omro, wis. ON December
18th, when = noisy, graceless scamp
appeared upon the ice, and began to
annoy them in many ways. So per-
sistent were his prosecutions. that the
girls were resolving to take of their
skatss and 60 homo, when the aven-
ger glided from the opposite bank.
It was only a girl-a coy, rosy. slen-
der girl. She went up to the young
scapegrace, and seizing him by the
cellar, dumped him upon the ice.
She handled him % she would .

dainty glove and cufEsd his ears till
he roared for -h&p. She dragged
him along the ice and rolled him in
to Z. snow-bank. She also said some
thing. She remarked that If he ever
troubled them again there would b

ing: A pastor was making call up
on an old lady who made it an habit
ual rule never tc speak i'll of anoth-
er, and had observed it 90 closely that
she always justified those whom she
had hoard evil spoken Of. Beforethe
old ladylNade her appearance in the
parlor, ,Sier several children had been
speaking Of this popularity Of their
mother, and ono Of them playfully
added; my mother has such a hab-
i ofspsaking we'll Of everybody, I be-
lieve II Satan himself were the snb-
joct OF conversation, mother would
find some virtue or good quality even
in him." OF course this remark elic-
tied some smiling and merriment at
the originality Of the idea, in the
midst Of which tho old lady entered
the room, aud, on being told what
had just been said, she Immediately
and voluntarily replied, "Well, my
children, l wish We all had Satan's

A Strange Marriage Contract.

There are SO many theories of mar
riage and divorces nowadays that
the future writer upon the "Civili-
zation of the World" will find many
curious problems to deal with in de-
scribing the marriage relations in
this country. With their minds
filled with all sorts of notions and
doctrine by lectures upon this topic;
witnessing the unhappy experience
of their mothers and sisters; and
reading, every day, accounts OF
divorce suits which might appall
any person from the contemplation
a marriage, it is not strange that
both men and women seek some new
panacea for the troubles of the mar
riage-relation.
Recently legal gentleman in a
certain city was solicited to draw a
document which would stand fire,
by which a man and woman might
enter into o covenant to live to-
gether as man and wife so long as
both of them should choose to do so,
and no louger. The object of the
paper was to define the rights of
property which might accrue to each,
and to settle the custody of the
children, if any there should be.
The plan was simple one. The
children were to be assigned, the
boys to the father, the girls to the
mother. If o separation occurred,
all property belonging to either at
the time of marriage was to be re-
turned intact, if possible. All other
property acquired subsequent to
marriage was to be equally divided.
The paper was drawn; but it is
doubtful, the lawyers say, whether
it can be enforced. However, the
lawyer informed me that the mar
riage celebration took place a few
evenings since, at which this paper
was read in presence of a company
of fifty person, and signed by the
contracting parties and witnesses;
and the woman has taken the mans
name, as if married regularly.

A WIFE WANTED. A Chicago man
enjered a newspaper Office with the
following advertisement TO lie inser-
ted:
The advertiser desires to make
the acquaintance Of lady of refine
mep. aud good looks, five feet, four
and one half inches high, and weigh
iny about one hundred and thirty
SIX pounds; bust measure, thirty-nine
inches; waist measure, twenty-eieht
and three-fourths inches, size
Of boot, three and one-half; ditto of
glove, five and seven-eis shths; COM
plexion, pronounced brunette; deep
hazel eyes-with n view to matri-
mony. Address"
Seems to me you're mighty par
ticular about the size and kind of
wife you want" observed the adver-
Using clerk.
-. Well. perhaps am; but you see
my wife died before We had been
married long. and she hadn't begun
TO half wear out her clothes, and her
father gave her an awful sight of 'em.
So it seems to me kinder like flying
in tho face OF Providence. when silk
and things is so dear, and the coun-
try laborins in the throes of a finan
cial convulsion, to lake another mate,
and let the moths break through and
corrupt oil them duds. So l just
want wife to match them things

An OPTICAL DHLusIoN.-Here is q
neat delusion. Roll . sheet Of writ
ing paper into q tube ten inches in
diameter, and hold it to the right
eye, looking through at any conve-
nient object, keeping the left eye
also open. Place the left hand,
open with the palm upward, against
the tube an inch or two form the
further end. The surprising effect
apparently seen will be . hole
through the hand the size of u cross
section of a tube. Now in place Of
the hand, put . sheet of white pa
per with Q hole in it of . quarter Of
an inch in diameter; stare intently
into the tube and you will see the
hole in the sheet Of paper floating in
the hole Of the tube, clearly defined
by the difference Of illumination.
Each eye obviously transmits diff
ferent impression to the brain, and
that organ, unable to disentangle
them, lands upon the palpable alb
surdity of q materialized hole.

CHEERruLNEss.-It is q cosmetic
which tones the heart and places
boquets all over the countenance.
Cheerfulness, like most other talents
and merits, is, to very large extent,
the subject of voluntary culture, and
the preservation and developement
Of it should be looked upon as q
duty which we owe alike to our
selves and to society. Those who,
like the generality of men, have
been in the custom Of yielding up
their tempers as vanes to be blown
about by the shifting courses of for
tune which way they will, would be
surprised to know how much the
luster or the outward scene may be
affected by tue light within our bo-
SONS. We may set our spirits to
cheerfuluess and keep them SO, in
dependent of the condition of out
ward circumstances. And this is
the true dignity, and happiness,
and piety Of man, to live above the
shifting and dashing tides Of the
worlds incidents and humors-to
bring our natures into harmonious
union with the great permanent type
of human excellene. Cheerfulness
quenches blows, it blunts arrows, it
rounds the edge of the sharp sword,
it secures pure breathing in the foul
air, easy digestion and sound slum-
ber.

TIE FIRST HE'D HEARD OF Ir.-A
blacksmith having failed in business,
friend, 20 enable him 10 start once
more, loaned him some iron, which a
creditor attached at the forge. The
friendly owner sued in trover for his
iron. Rufus Choats appeared for
him. and pictured the cruelty of the
sheriffs proceedings as follows: He
arrested the arm of industry as it fell
towards the anvil; he put out the
breath OF his bellows; he extinguished
the fire upon his hearthstone. Like
pirates in n gale at sea, his enemies
swept everything by the board, lesv-
ing him, gentlemen Of the jury, not
so much-not 40 much as horseshoe
to nail upon his door-post to keep
the witches off" The tears came
inio the blacksmith's eyes at this
affecting description. One of hi
friends, noticing them, said to him {:
Why, Tom, what's the matter with
you What are you blubbering
about?" 81 had no idea," was the
reply, in q whimpering tone" I
had no idea l had been so much
abusedr Nor had he, till Choate
told him.
