4 Very Obtuse Witness.

Thackeray has been police reporting
for the London DiOgenes. Here is a
sample:
Pat Fogarty went all the way from
Manchester to London to thrash Mike
Fitzpatrick, which he did, winding up
the performance with the assistance Of
an lawful horseshoe" He was detect
ed and brought before Mr.. Justice Sim
pleman. A part of the examination is
annexed.
Court-"Well, sir, you came here
from Manchester, did you?"
Pat-"Your Honor has answered cor
rect"
Court-"You see the compliments

Do you know what cut it,"
Amt your Honor afther sayin'
that sharp instrument did,"
Court becoming restive)- Il see you
mean to equivocate. Now, sir, you cut
that head; you came here to do it, did
you not? Now, sir, what motive brought
you to London?"
Pat-"The locomotive, yer Honor"
Court waxing warm -"Equivocat-
ing again, you scoundrel (raising up the
horseshoe and holding it before Pat ;
do you see this horseshoe, SIR.
Pat-"Is it a horseshoe, yer Honor?"
Court-"Dont you see it is, sir? Are
you blind? Can you not tell at once
that it is a horse shoe!"
Pat -"Bedad, no, yer Honor"
Court (angrily)-"No?"
Pat-"No, yer Honor, but can yersef
tell?"
Court-"Of course I can, yon stupid
Irishman."
Pat (soliloquizing aloud)-"Oh, glory
be to goodness, see what education Is,
yer Honor! Sure poor ignorant Great
IRE like myself didn't know horseshoe

the doctor was just in the way of his
duty; but folks said it made great
scandal; that minister hadn't no
business to hey that kind O. boss, and
then he'd give the enemy occasion to
speak reproachfully. It RELY did seem
as if Iams sins were imputed to the
doctors, and felix's said he ought to sell
Tam right away and get sober minis
ter's boss.
"But others said it was Cuff that had
got Tam into bad ways, and they do say
that Cuff had to catch it pretty lively
when the doctor came to settle with
him. Cuff thought his time had come
sure enough, and was so scairt
that he turned ablacker n ever;
he got enough to cure him O. boss
racin' for one while But Cuff got over
it arter awhile, and so did the doctor.
Lordy-massy, there amt nothin' lasts
forever. Wait long enough and most
everything blows over. So it turned
out about the doctor there was rum
pJls and fuss, and folks talked and
talked and advised; everybody had
their say, but the doctor kept right
straight on, and KEEP his boss all the
same.
'The ministers they took it up in the
association, but, come to tell the story,
it sot 'em all laughin', SO they couldn't
be very hard on the doctor.
The doctor felt sort O. streaked at

Marriage i'm Russia.

Russian marriages are generally ar
ranged through priests. A well-bred
bridegroom must present a gift to
monastery and another to his parish
church; the bride, through her friends,
is expected to clothe some statue of the
Virgin with gown of silver brocade, en-
rlched with more Or less jewels accord
ing to the piety of the donor; and in
some parts of Southern Russia she adds
a gift of two white doves to the Pope,
which looks rather Like a relic of the
worship of Venus. The consent of
parents is necessary for marriage until
the age of 36 in case of men, 25 in that
of women; but young people are at lib
erty to appeal to the civil authorities if
consent be arbitrarily withheld. In this
event the parents are called upon to
show reason for their refusal. The
reason must not be mercenary, unless
one of the young people be heir to a
landed estate; then the question is re-
ferred to the Marshal of the nobility in
the district, whose decisions are based
upon expediency rather than upon fixed
principles. These appeals are rare, be-
cause the Russians are a marrying peo-
pie, and dispose of their children early
In the middle and lower classes men
marry at 20, when not drafted by the
CONSUMPTION. In the higher aristocracy
young man goes the grand tour" be-
fore settling down, but he is often be-
trothed, before starting, to a young lady
not yet out of the schOol-room. There
is no country that has so few old maids
as Russia. When girl has reached the
age of % without finding a mate, she
generally sets out ON what she calls a
pilgrimage, if poor-on round of trav-
els, if rich and in either case she turns
up some years later as widow. Widows
are as plentiful as old spinsters are
scarce, and widows whose husbands were
never seen are more numerous than the
rest. Etiquette forbids any allusion to
a ladys dead husband in her presence,
and this is sometimes convenient.
When couple are engaged, a betrothal-
feast is held, and the bride-elect has a
lock of her hair cut off in the presence of
witnesses and given to the bridegroom,
who in return presents silver ring set
with a turquoise, an almond cake, and
gift of bread and salt. From this mo-
ment the two are plighted; nor can the
relatives break the match except with
the consent of the parties themselves,
which is signifed by return of the
ring and lock of hair. So much i'm
portance is attached to the ring that
among poor people, who cannot afford
silver and turquoise, tin and a bit of
blue stone are substituted. These be-
trothal rings are kept as heirlooms, but
must not be made to serve twice; a son
cannot give his bride the ring which his
mother received, for instance, though
why this should be SO is mystery
which the clergy, who sell the ring,
could best explain. On the wedding
day, the bride comes to church dressed
in white; but it is only among the high
est classes that the bridal costume is en-
tirely white, and that a wreath of orange
flower blossoms is worn.-Lo71Clo7a Pail

Are three new, bright silver quarters,
Which want You to send right away.
Send one of 'em out to Memphis,
And one to-Grenady. / guess:

When told her that God would reward her
More than some who had sent out hundred.
That night when the express came il.
Came package for little May.
And in ii a silk suit marked, .i
"For May, on her seventh birthday"
Why, papa she cried, Just to think,
When sent the three quarters by express
You said God would reward me. and now
God has sent me pretty silk dress'

For she said: Nov I'll send on a nickel
And then maybe He'll send me new Shoes

Not a Good Witness.

A lawyer who was defending a case
of assault and battery in the Police
Court, the other day, was given to I'M

witness in the person of a woman near
where the "battery" had occurred, and
he therefore made call at the house

AIack alas alack! all me.
A woful tale I'll tell to thee
Cf lothian Brown, known as ). b.,
A st;.lwart youth, of ruddy blee.
Who in his boots stood six foot three,
At twenty-one, with one Hidee!n
Wis small eyes had that tar-otf look
which, have read within book
Great genius has; his visage glum
Was ever one emphatic mum;
And how thought could ever gain
A Judgment in his narrow brain ~
Must rank as undiscovered knowledge,
Beyond the ken of world or college.
No natter-there's the fact-keep still;
Leave it for future thought and skill;
Mems minds are far too prone to borrow
What rightfully ranks with tomorrow.
watt wait! a warning you shall see
In this same youth. this brave j. b.
Poor J. B.. on IN evil day,
Had CHANGED 20 hear some persons say
"That one loot ever strove to gain
Upon the other, and twas plain
That, let them strive however fast,
One foot must be ahead at last.
And still twas left for some keen mind
Which foot is always last to find"
Then j. B. puzzled long and late,
And scratched his head DER book and slate,
To set this wondrous riddle free.
Poor lothian Brown
Poor lothian Brown,
All night. all day sought rest in vain,
This puzzle ranking in his brain.
And if by chance he fell asleep,
Such dreams beneath his lids would creep
OF feet, feet, feet, ten thousand feet,
Dragging on. and flying fleet,
Feet alone, and feet together.
Oe ayy,rv b11a and shane 'SOoYer.
That he would wake, with shivering moan,
no toss and turn. and sweat and groan,
TO rise at last, and figure OUT
IL possible. some new-found doubt.
Poor lothian Brown!
Poor lothian Brown!
st last he sound no book nor slate,
Which foot is last could truly state.
Then greatness sprung up in ). b.
He said he'd be "consarned," II ne
Didn't find out which foot was last. ia
He sWore that certain things he'd blast
IF he. j. B., could not find out
This blessed fact" without doubt.
81 Poor lothian Brown!
Poor GOTHAM Brown
Now went a-pacing up and down.
Now went a-running here and there,
ind walking, walking everywhere,
In circle, round square.
Night and day, both foul and fair,
Never stopping anywhere, r.st 4
Until he grew quite lean and spare.
And these few words were all he said,
As on and on he endless sped:
"rhe left ahead,
The right ahead,
3t The left ahead,
The right!
The right ahead,
The left ahead,
The right ahead.
The left"
And lothian walked. and walked, and walked,
And lothian talked. and talked, and talked,
Just as I've said, all night, all day;
And people heard him in their beds,
And drew the sheets about their heads,
Nor dared a single word to say.
And still he's travelling, day and night;
And now tits left, and now it's right,
And now It's right. and now it's left,
Till he of home and friends bereft,
His Tapping rags about him fan
More like specter than man.
And still the riddles not set free;
Alas! / fear it neer will be.
