I..Y~ At one Of the Detroit churches
where revival was in progress, the
clergyman asked those who wanted to
be prayed for to stand up. Quite a
number rose to their feet, and after
services We're closed one lady was
heard asking another at the door;
why didn't you stand up?
oh, | didn't want to, was the re-
ply.
why, You are very foolish woln-
an. Wouldn't have missed the op-
portunity for anything.
Opportunity for what .
why, for standing up there and
showing off yonr sealskin sacque !,

slant good nature, let what would turn

bringing the news that one Of his red
oxen was dead.

his hide off, and send it down to the
tanners, it will bring the cash.
An hour or so afterward the man
came back with the news that Line
back and his mate were both dead
Are they ? said the old man. Well

debt that | never expected to get. Its
lucky it isn't the brindles.'

the nigh brindle was dead.

he was very old OK. Take off bis
hide and send it to the tanners where

A FLYING MARRIAGE,
Welded at the Rate Of Forty Miles 1

VOuueu ~ tho Ahto VI CUTby mtteb IN uOuTs
The San Francisco Chronicle of the
Both ult. gives the following account Of
a marriage on the rail: The passengers
on the overland train from the East,
which arrived on Saturday night, were
treated to little sensation pleasanter
than the regular ones Of the rush
through Echo Canon and the rounding
of Cape Horn, or the occasional one OF
meeting on the same track train acci.
dentally bound the other way. 1t was a
marriage at the rate of forty miles an
hour between Gait and Stockton, by the
Rev. j. q. Hamilton, of the latter place,
OF DR.. Israel Davis, OF the latter place,
and Mrs. ]. Susan Armstrong, Of Leav-
worth, Kansas.
" would be too long story-the ro-
mantle one Of their youthful betrothaI,
the interpOsition of cruel fate that
married each to one other than the first
choice, the combined death by a relent-
ing fortune of both of the second choices,
and the renewal, through the United
States mail, OF the interrupted love o1
their younger years. The engagement
was renewed, and Mrs. Arms trong, q
very pronounced brunette, verking now
upon embonpoint and forty, set fourth
to be spliced at Stockton to her real af-
fnity.
She was detained for a short time by
snow near Cheyenne, and the ardent
doctor, determined that no malIgn cir
cumstance should again put aside his
happiness, set off pOst-haste to meet
her. The minister set off post-hasbe
after the doctor, and it is supposed tnat
| ii there had been any intervening trains
the guests would have set off post-haste
| after the officiating clergyman. The
doctor, an elderly but remarkably well.
preserved gentleman, in full dress and
taultless beaver and black three-but-
| toned kid gloves, met the train Of his
afiianced at Sacramento. She was taste.
fully and styiishly clad in brown trav.
cling suit, and the greeting between the
lovers was most affecting. Both came
on to Calf, where they were met by the
Rev. Mr.. Hamilton.
All three then continued ON to Stock
| ton, but the long endured strain had
| now become too severe. There was an
ardent and unheard request by the gen.
| tleman; a coy and blushlng consent by
| the lady; the peanut boy was despatched d
for the conductor TO lend an official air
to the ceremony; the gentleman and
| lady stood up in the aisle as we'll as
| they could, hanging on to eacn other and
to the ends of the seats; the clergyman
stood up in front of them, and, amid the
boom and rush of the train, the ques-
tions were beloved out and responses
shouted back hap-hazard, and then the
minister In a voice like a trombone, de.
elared the loving and long-separated
couple man and wife. In the excite
ment OF the moment the lady released
her hold Of the seat ana was shot head
first against the lower extremity of the
| conductors vest. He galiantly kissed
her and returned her uninjured to her
| happy husband, and the two sat down
| and received the stentorian c0ngratula-
tions of the pleased spectators.

SPRING SONG.

From the cold stiffness of the night,
Where icy caverns, fields of snow,
And shadowy visions, wan and white,
Make life dull and ghostly glow;
A song that shames this soug of mine,
More light than any bird that flies,
Flows gently past the leafless pine,
Then family hutters, weeps and dies.
But soon TO towering life newborn,
IL thrills the snow-bound dreams of death:
And all the golden light of morn
Throbe with mild, exultant breath.
Sweet, magic music of the spring,
Awakening of diviner day
The sunlit souls of angels wing
To blooming earth their rosy way.

GOOd.HumOred Russians.

Every crowd has physiognomy and a
character of its own, and after experience
of an English or an Irish crowd one is
rather pleased with Russian one. Not
that it is particularly clean or savory, but
it is so extremely good-natured and we'll
behaved. There is very little pushing or
elbowing. Every one is courteous to his
neighbors, and you are sure not to see
any acts of brutality or to incur any dam
ger in mixing in it. Smiling, good-na-
tured faces are everywhere, no matter
what the rank or position, for good humor
is indeed the chief Russian virtue. And
then such curious mixture of people in
such a crowd merchants with long
dark-blue or black caftans, reaching
to their heels, and their cravats tied
tight around their throats, not showing

Secretary Fish,s Expenses.

Mr.. Evarts will find it very difficult
task to maintain the social side of the
State Department with more dignity than
Hamilton Fish has done. II seems nee
essary that the Secretary Of State should
be both rich and man of culture. The
custom has grown up, and it certainly is
a dignified and creditable one, that the
Secretary of State must give frequent
and elaborate entertainments to the dip
lomatic corps, and to any visiting stran-
gers of distinction from foreign coun-
tries. The Secretary of State is not only
expected to manage all difficult interna-
tional problems, but to be as well the ex-
ponent of national courtliness and hos
pitality. He is supposed to be genial,
dignifed. international good fellow, who
paws all his bills. But it takes money to
do il. Mr.. Fish, in his private monetary
matters, is said to be very close, but he
has been lavishly generous in his man.
agement of the courtesies OF the Govern
ment He has spent every year his en-
tire salary in house-rent. He has main-
tanned good establisbm mt, and has dis
pensed the hospitalities of the nation in
n style of which all of us may be proud.
And he has not taxed the people for it,
but has paid for it out of has own bank
account. From the best sources know
that il has at times cost Mr.. Fish $50, 900
a year to live in this city and maintain
the dignity of the State Department.
His salary was $1,000 Washington

Investigating the Grasshopper.

The President has appointed the fol-
lowing persons as members of the Grass
hopper Commission Prof. s. V. Riley,
of st. Louis, known for his labors in
economic entomology; Prof. A. S. Pack
ard, Jr., of Salem, Mass, editor of the
american Naturalist, who is to be
Secretary of the commission and Prof.
Cyrus Thomas, of Carbondale, ILL.,, State
Entomologist. The commission will have
its quarters at Washington, with West
ern Office in ST. Louis. Prof. Riley pro-
poses to take the area east of the noun
tains and south of the fortieth parallel
with British America. Prof. Thomas
will take the country north of the fortieth
parallel to the British American line, ex-
cepting Montana Prof. Packard's field
will more particularly cover Montana
Territory, Idaho and Utah. The two
principal objects of the commission are,
first, to ascertain what agency can be
brought to bear in facilitating the de-
struction of the eggs o. the insects sec
ond, to discover where the locusts breed.
1t is known that Montana is one of the
fields in which they breed largely, but in
all probability the largest breeding
ground is in British America. That
country being difficult to explore, it is
likely that the commission will try to Sc
cure the cooperation of the British
Government.

Descent OF a Comet on Our Sun.

Supposing there really is, 1 will not
say danger, but q possibility, that our
sun may one day, through the arrival of
some very large comet travelling directly
towards him, share the fate of the suns
whose outbursts have before described,
we might be destroyed unawares, or we
might be aware for several weeks of the
approach of the destroying comet. Sup
pose, for example, the comet, which
might arrive from any part of the heav-
ems, came from out that part of the star
depths which is occupied by the constel-
lation Taurus-then, if the arrival were
so timed that the comet, which might
reach the sun at any time, fell upon him
in May or June, we should know nothing
of that comets approach, for it would
approach in that part of the heavens
which was occupied by the sun, and his
splendor would hide as with veil the
destroying enemy. On the other hand,
if the comet, arriving from the same re-
gion of the heavens, so approached as to
fall upon the sun in November or De-
cember, we should see it for several
weeks. For it would then approach from
the part of the heavens high above the
southern horizon at midnight. Astron-
omers would be able in few days after
it was discovered to determine its path
and predict its downfall upon the sun,
precisely as Newton calculated the path
of his comet, and predicted its near ap-
proach to the sun. 1t would be known
for weeks then that the event which
Newton contemplated as likely to cause
tremendous outburst of solar heat,
competent to destroy all life upon the
surface of our earth, was about to take
place; and, doubtless, the minds OF
many students of science would be exer-
cised during that interval in determining
whether Newton was right or wrong.
For my own part, l have very little doubt
that, though the change in the suns con-
dition in consequence of the direct down
fall upon his surface of n very large
comet would be but temporary, and in
that sense slght-for what are few
weeks in the history of an orb which has
already existed during thousands of mill
ions of years ?-yet the effect upon the
inhabitants of the earth would be by no
means slight. do not think, however,
that any students of science would re-
main, after the catastrophe, to estimate
or record its effects. .-Richdrd Proctor,
in Beiqrapia.

The Beginning.

Remember that those who are drunk
ards did not intend to become so; they
only thought of drinking just little !;
but the little kept increasing, and the
love of drink kept growing stronger, un-
I'll the eyes grew red, and the face grew
bloated, and the step grew unsteady; un-
til the one who might have been a bless
ing to the world and help to those
around him has become a loathsome OBJ
iect and terror to his friends. II is not
safe to take even little strong drink !:
because the love for it so soon becomes q
strong and cruel master.
