Two Women Masnuerading.

The Livingston mich. Democrat says:
Saturday night couple of ladies of this
village proposed to have little fun, all
to themselves. Accordingly they dressed
themselves in their husbands habili-
ments, blackened their faces and hands
and started forth. They finally concluded
they would go to the Jail and demand
admittance of Deputy Sheriff Drake.
They had no other place to stop, they
said, and wished to occupy cell for the
night. Drake refused to comply with
their request, supposing them to be
couple of darkies. Indeed, Drake says
they were the worst looking niggers he
ever saw. On being refused, the darkies
doubled up their fists and made furious
demonstrations of knocking Drake down.
He then told Mrs. Beurmann, the
sherif's wife, to watch the niggers while
he procured pair of handouts. He
then started for them on double-quick.
He overlook them at the southeast gate
of the courtyard, when the niggers
again pitched into him and came near
mastering him. In this predicament he
struck one of them over the head with
the handouts. 1t was glancing blow
and luckily hit on the top of the head,
which was well shielded by wad of hair,
put up so as to wear an old hat. Drake
was about to repeat the blow, when one
of the darkies cried out, "Don't Spence
its Lutew An explanation followed,
when Drake found out that it was his
wife, accompanied by one of her friends.
He had struck his wife with the hand
cuffs, but her head was so shielded with
hair that the blow produced only a " big
bunch on the top of the head.

They Were Glad to Go.

The Danbury Ne,cs says: One of the
women who called upon recently be-
reaved wife to sympathize with her,
was singularly endowed with an expe-
rience which enabled her to enter fully
into the feelings of the sufferer. She
was a tall, notwithstanding woman,
with rather red face, but she possessed
a delicacy of perception which was re-
workable. She had been in 10 view the
body, and was now with the widow. She
said:
"He seemed to have gone peaceful
like?"
EYES," murmured the mourner.
"That's blessing to you, and some
thing that should be comfort to you.
Just think how you'd feel if he'd went
the other way. There's no tellin'. l
know woman whose man died in such
agony that his face was perfectly
dreadful to look at. You couldn't look
at it. An she never got over it. I've
lost three husbands, but they all, thank
heaven, went easy. ] don't know how
my present husband will go. hope for
the best. But I'd rather lose hundred
husbands than to have one go miserable.
You don't know what an awful thing it
is to have to slip away with fuss. Ey-
cry one of my men went as if they wanted
to 90, and when they were laid out they
did you good to look at 'em. Why some
folks came in twice to see 'em. and then
wern't satisfied. Their faces were just
as calm as could be-not stuck up, /
don't mean, but sort of peaceful-like.a
