garments, accompanied by smoth-
cred exclamations of pain and rage,
penetrated the house. 1t was firmly
believed by Miss Morris that her
hitherto peaceful parent was tear
ing those seventeen. young men in
pieces, but her mind was soon re-
lieved by hearing them depart in a
body, and with unusual haste. Mr..
Morris was, of course, overwhe lined
with questions after he had locked
the front door and returned to his
waiting daughter, but he refused
to give any explanation beyond re-
marking that it was all mistake,
and that accidents are liable to hap
pen, which latter assertion no one
will have the hardihood to call in
question.
The next day that drawing-room
presented a fearful spectacle. To
each chair were clinging fragments
Of, broadcloth and shreds Of linen.
The aid of a sharp knife, together
with quantities Of spirits of turpen-
tine, was necessary to obliterate the
relics Of the seventeen con6ding
and betrayed young men. Mrs.
Morris promptly seized her hus-
bands entire stock of patent mod
orous varnish, and bribed a small
boy to throw itinto the river. That
wel-meaning but too ingenious man
was compelled to bind himself by a
solemn promise never to bring an
other drop of varnish into the
house, and was fined an entire set
of chairs, together with new bon
nets for his wife and daughter. AS
for the young men, they flew from
the town by the earliest train, and
it is asserted that at least two OF
them departed in Ulster oyercoats,
to the immense astonishment Of the
travelling public. OF course, the
affair created a tremendous sensa-
ton, and the whole story was pub.
lished, together with the names Of
the young men, and a minute de-
scription of their several losses, in
the West Monroe Gazette. Let Il;
hope that the catastrophe will prove
a warning, not only to Morris, but
to all other ingenious husbands.
and that they will initiate his ex-

The Misfortune Of Young Lady

New York Timoe.l
Early on the evening of the Sd
Of July Miss Morris, the lovely and
accomplished daughter of Mr..
Morris, was seated in the large
worsted chair in her fathers draw
ing room waiting to receive the
farewell calls of the young men
who on that very day had graduated
at the Monroe University. She
was deserVedly popular and she had
estimated that at least eleven young
men would call that evening and
that in all probability several Of the
number would bring friends with
them. At half-past seven the first
Of her guests arrived, and before
half-past eight seventeen young
men in their very best clothing
were sitting in the mahogany chairs
with which the drawing-room was
furnished, with their backs closely
pressed against the wall.
The evening sped rapidly away.
There was lemonade and sponge
cake handed around by the servant,
and Miss Morris played and sang
with great applause. The young
men appeared to enjoy themselves
greatly, and writhed their legs in
the restless way characteristic of
the bucolic undergraduate when
experiencing the sensation of peace
full bliss. But when ten O'clock
came, and no young man showed
the slightest disposition to with
draw, the hostess began to fear that
each one had registered a VOW to
"sit the rest out" At eleven o'clock
she was sure that her suspicion was
correct, as u look of stern determi-
nation to undergo any amount OF
suffering was visible upon each.
The young lady was hurt, alarmed
and angry, aud when the boldest of
her visitors finally broke a silence
of several minutes by respectfully
begging that she would retire and
send her father to hold u confer
ence with them, she rushed up
stairs, awok9 the author Of her be-
ing with the announcement that
seventeen young men wanted to see
him instantly, in order to propose
for her hand, but that they were
horrid wretches whom she perfectly
hated, and thereupon burst into
tears.
Mr.. Morris arose, dressed himself
as rapidly as a thumb recently
mashed with a hammer and foot
newly lacerated with an AK would
permit, and descended with the fell
purpose of ordering the young men
out Of the house. A few earnest
words, addressed to him in a low
tone by the spokesman Of the com
pany, caused him to, change his
mind. Owing to his careful clos.
Ing Of the drawing-room door the
precise nature of the conversation
which ensued could not be heard

strange sound, as of the rending Of

VariOus Opinions Regarding the
Discovery of Mars Moons.


A bellies opinion-Dear me, is it
possible? two moons? What a nice
place to meet one by two moon
lights alone.
The Suns opinion-If either OF
these moons has a standing army it
should be Immediately reduced to
ten thousand men,.
Jay Gould's, Jim Keene's and
Russell Sage's collective opinion
An idle discovery. Neither of these
moons can be utilized to bull or
bear stocks. Impossible quite to
make a corner in moons.
Wendell Phillips opinion-As if
this miserable, traitorous admins
tration deemed that there were not
woes enough to pile on this tax
ridden, slaye-ridden, law-ridden
country, to take this moment when
the nation pauses for short breath
ing spell, alter the intestine social
and political agony resulting from
the recent strike, to burden Mars
with the support and maintenance
OF two more moons.
A tramp's opinion-Well, wot of
it? Sposin' Mars has got two
moons, who's any better off? l.
there any more to eat, or drink, or
wear? viii it put a roof over Inv
head next winter, or coal in fny.
