A California Widow.

A San Francisco widow is ahead in the
marrying business. She was fair and
young and we'll TODD, and young man
had plighted his troth to her. Suddenly
his visits ceased, and the widow sent out
spies to discover his lurking-place
These faithful agents ascertained that
the young man was about making other
matrimonial arrangements with a young
girl to whom he was paying assiduous
attentions. The blooming widow, re.
solved not to be basely deceived, found a
pistol which had been the property of he1
first husband, loaded it, and went hunt
ing for her lover. She found him at the
house and in company of his younger
charmer, and having previously provided
herself with marriag license, persuad-
ed him to accompany her to the marriage
altar. She thus happily saved an mex
perienced young man from committing
the crime of deceiviny a trusting woman.

During the winter evening, when the
children were engaged with their lessons,
our tame rat, Billy, was usually to be
found on the, table rummaging among
their books and catching at their pens;
which latter amusement he enjoyed very
much after the manner of a kitten run.
ming after knitting needle drawn quick
ly up and down the table, but as these
amusements rather interfered with the
studies, Billy would occassionly be dis
missed to the kitchen, to which he had
great dislike. He never STAYED there
any longer than he could help, but on
the first chance would lush up stairs and
scratch, or rather, should say, gnaw for
admittance. Speaking of this gnawing
leads me to observe that one objection /
had to receiving him was the fear that
he would be very mischevous; but fortu-
natelv never found him so. He had
free access to pantry where variety of
eatables, usually considered dear to a rats
heart were to be found, but never knew
him to ipjure anything, OF even to cut a
paper covering of any parcel, no matter
what it contained. No doubt it was
partly owing to his being so we'll fed
that he was not driven to theft by hun
ger. I generally scattered for him on the
shelves some grains of rice or pieces of
starch, and to those he helped himself
when inclined. From soap or candles
he turned away in disgust, being tar too
well-brcd rat to indulge in such low
astes; but he dearly loved bit of plum
cake; and, shall l confess it he was by
no means a teetotaler. If ale was used
at dinner, he would rush eagerly about
the glasses until he was supplied with
some In spoon. believe, before he
came to us, he had been accustomed to
even stronger rotations, in which, how
ever, we did not indulge him. l have
said he was not mischevious, neither was
he, as mischief among rats is generally
understood; but there is no rule without
exceptions, and Billy had decided pen
chant for kid gloves. 1t any were left
carelessly about he was sure to get hold
of them and have the fingers eaten off in
a few minutes. I cannot tell how many
gloves he destroyed, until repeated lessons
of this sort enforced more steady habits.
l must not omit to mention his love of
music; when he heard the piano he would
rush to the drawing-room and spring to
the performers knees, where he would re-
main perfectly quiet, evidently listening
with much pleasure. When he first came
he was very restless, seeming to live in
state of perpetual: motion; but he soon
learned to come upon the knee to be caress-
ed and have his head rubbed, which opera
ton afforded him intense enjoyment. He
woulu have lain in supreme delight for an
hour if anyone would have rubbed his
head for so long.-Chamber's Journal.

Raised There.

When the Iowa Central train passed at
Eddyville, day before yesterday, says the
Hawkeye, man whose hands and face
were the color of his clothes, and whose
clothes were the color of the car door,
looked outthe car window, and, in the
voice of one making an important an
noucement, said:
I" I was raised in this place.'
The passengers we're of course deeply
impressed, and everybody looked at
Eddyvllle with new interest; but one
curious passenger eyed the dirty man
very intently, and repeated, in tones of
disbelief, Raised!'
YES, sir" said the grimy man,
"raised."
The unbelieving passenger unused a
moment, and then his brow cleared.
20, yes" he said, :" I see; alluvial de-
posit."

4 BIG FISH STORY.
1t was Told by q Candidate for member
ship la the Sazerac Lying Club.

We were making a voyage from the
West Indies to New York when the ship
fever broke out among the crew. One OF
the sailors, among the first victims, was
accompanied by his son, a lad of fourteen
years, who was strongly sttached to. his
father, and remained with him day and
night. and never could be persuaded to
leave his sick father for moment.
A large shark was seen every day fol-
lowing the vessel, evidently for the pu1-
pose Of devouring any one who should
die and be committed to the deep.
After lingering few days, the sailor
died. AS was the custom at sea, he was
sewed up in blanket, and for the pur-
pose of sinking him an old grindstone
and carpenters axe were put in with
him. The impressive service of the
church was then read, and the body CON-
mitted to the deep. = IT -
g The poor boy, who had watched the
proceedings closely, plunged in after his
father, when an enormous shark swollow-
ed them both. The second day after this
dreadful scene, as the shark continued
to follow the vessel-for there were
others sick in the ship-one of the sail
ors proposed, as they had a shark-hook
on board, to make an effort to take him.
They fastened the hook to large rope
and baitcd it with Z piece of pork, threw
it into the sea, and the shark instantly
swallowed it. Having thus hooked him,
by means of a windlass they hoisted him
on board. After he was dead they pre-
pared to open him, when one of the sail
ors, STOPPING down for that purpose, sud-
denly paused, and, after listening few
moments, declared most solemnly he
heard low cultural sound, which ap-
peared to proceed from the shark.
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1878-05-08

The sailors, after enjoying a hearty
laugh at his expense, proceeded to listen
for themselves, when they were compell-
ed to admit they heard a similar sound,
They then proceeded to open the shark,
when the mystery was explained.
It appears the sailor was not dead, but
in q trance; and his son, on making this
discovery when inside the shark, had by
means of his knife, ripped open the
blanket. Having thus liberated his faith
er, they both righted up the Old grind
stone--the boy was turning, the father
was holding on to the old ship.carpentors
ting out of their Jonah-like prison, which
occassioned the noise heard by the sailor.
AS it was the hottest season of the year,
and very little air string where they
were to work, they were both ssoeating ire
