Married i'm Haste.

A wedding as abrupt, if not as fan
tastlc. as MIR. Wemmick's took pace not
long ago at Marlboro on the Hudson.
During the afternoon wcll-known resi-

o'clock. bring marriage certificate

is discreet man, and did as he was told.
At his friends house be met large COM
pany, and after dinner was announced
teok his seat at the well-appointed table.
The host undertook to carve the turkey,
but made such bungling work of his du-
ties that one of the guests was constrain-
ed to remark to him: "You ahould get
married, then your wife would teach you
the proper way to do these things" The
host did not deny the soft impeach-
ment, but told what manner of woman he
should like for wife ending by saying;
"Now, before we proceed further, 'spose
We take vote as to who I shall marry"
The company entered into the canvass
with great hilarity, and after the vote
was taken it was declared that the host
was in duty bound to marry his house.

who had presided over the establishment
for more than year. The young lady
had stepped into the kitchen to give some
final directions to the cook, and when she
returned she was informed of the views
Of the company. She was completely ta-
ken back, but when the ladies coaxed her
to give hor consent, she placed herself in
the hands Of her friends. "Halloo! le+
get married now!'' exclaimed the host
with the imperturbable Wemmicks self.

--indee ! 1t had scarcely begun; the bride
took off her white apron; the bridegroom
dropped his napkin; the two were made
one; the marriage certificate was signed;
and the company kissed the bride and
then sat down to dinner with first rate
appetite. The next day spinster in the
neighborhood, hearing what had happen
ed raised her lands towards Heaven and
exclaimed in spirit of true devoutness
"HoW sudden; there's no tellin' whose
turn II come next"

Decorated With 4 Medal.

Hon. F. s. Cristenson, member of the
Minnesota House of Representatives has just
received a medal Of honor from the King of
Denmark, for services rendered his country in
the war with Germany, in 1864. The medal
is beautifully executed. On one side is the
kings head in relief, and the inscription,
"Christian The TX, King Of Denmark" and
on the other is inscribed, "For Services
the War of 1864" The medal was accom-
panied with diploma stating that it is to be
worn on the left breast in rcd and white
striped ribbon attached to it, and on the whole
it is quite pretty plaything fer an American
citizen.

On the 26th ult, the Spanish steamer
Alcantura arrived at San Domingo from
Havana, bringing the commission appointed
by the Spanish government to examine the
box supposed to contain the remains of
Christopher Columbs. The examination was
permitted after many formalities had been
gone through with. The box was removed
from Its place Of deposit, the scales broken,
and the inscription closely examined. The
bones were scrupulously inspected, and
photographs taken of the remains.

A M0nstrosity.

One of the most remarkable instances
on record of parental devotion and of success
in keeping secret Il family atfiiction, may be
found in the family of citizen who is keep
ing drinking saloon in the western part of
Cincinnati. Twenty-seven years ago a num-
Der Of houses in the vicinity were destroyed
by fire in the night, including his residence.
His wife in delicate condition suffered much
from fright, and subsequently gave birth to a
monstrosity-an offspring without any of the
better senses of living creature, except that
OF sight-without toes or fingers; deaf, speech
less-without the least spark of intellect or
instinct.

Carlcy by David Potctt. McGarlcy was charg.
ed with illicit distilling, and on the way from

The ball penetrated McCarley's temple, kill

Enslish Grain Aarkets.

A leading grain circular says, during
the first four days of the week the markets
were very flat, with q tendency in prices to
decline. In consequence of the ministerial
proposal on the oath in parliament, the market
opened with an active inquiry for wheat and
maize, holders asking advanced prices, and
some business was done in both before the
markethours. At this market there was ex-
tenslvc business in wheat, white and red, ad-
vancing full one penny per GENITAL on former
prices with trade buoyant. Flour is in good
demand at full prices. A fair amount of corn
was taken and rather more paid for dry new
mixed; old was unaltered,

The Eurep~an eVar kndea.

Latest European intelligence indicates
the conclusion Of peace between Russia and
Turkey. The great PURPOSE Of Russia will be
accomplished in the opening Of the Darda-
nelles to Russian ships Of war. This, virtual
ly, as to Russia, makes the Black Sea free.
Turkey has long since held the key, and the
Black Sea has been a mare clausum to all the
world. Russian ships, during winter, were
blocked up in ice in the ports of the Baltic or
in friendly shelter atsome neutral port. Here
after they will winter in the ports Of the Black
Sea, and Russia with the immese resources
of timber and harbors thus opened, viii soon
become the great naval power Of the world.

The Situation of Western Texas.

San Antonio Express According to
advices from Mexico, Daz has not been
recognized by the United States three
days before the Mexican people began
to parade their contempt for our people
and government If the La Bandera
Nacional is to be believed, the Mexis
cans yielded no point to the preten-
sions of the United States, made no
promises regarding the soma libra, made
no provisions for the crossing of Ameri>
can forces into Mexico after raiders
(Which means that no arrangements
was made for the protection of the bor-
der) and made no pledge regarding
forced loans or other protection OF
American citizens. That is, the rela-
tons of the two governments remain
Just as they were before Zamacona, ins
stead of agent Of the government at
Washington, will be minister plenipo
Tertiary. AS the case stands at present
there is little hope for western Texas
Our government will not and the Mex
lean government cannot, give that coun-
try protection. Under the circum-
stances, there are but too horns to the
dilemma. Western Texas will have to
be deserted by all honest people, or the
rancheros will have to throw open their
section to the outlawed class Of the
country-invite the desperadoes from
everywhere to come to them, and in re-
turn for protection and immunity
against arrest. protect them from raid
ers from Mexico.
