How She Married a Farmer.

Mock marriages for the fun of the thing
sometimes turn cut not to be the joke they
we're supposed to be. A Miss Clara Man
nIDg, of Brooklyn, and Mr. Brundage, of
Unionville, IN New York State, at social
gathering in the house of the latter, last
August, went through this joke to her, but,
as he now claims, reality to him. He says
he meant if, and she says she did not mean
it. The marriage service was read to both
by a minister, and both publicly assented to
the contract by the appropriate response.
Mr.. Brundage procured certificate of the
fact that the parties had been united in
wedlock according to the laws of that State.
The step-mother Of the unwilling bride ap-
piled to the clerk Of one of the courts of
Brooklyn to know what could be done about
it; and the clerk, after ascertaining the
facts advised that the bride should accept
the situation and make the best of it, es-
pecially as Mr.. Brundage was substantial
farmer who understood the management
of pigs and cows" and was "a much better
match than some city swell who carries his
fortune ON his back" Whether such a
marriage is valid in law is a question for
the courts to decide. The lesson is that, if
the parties do not mean tie thing, they had
better keep clear of the form. If they go
through the form the presumption of law is
that they mean it.

From an English Paper.
Worth is tallish man, with big, clever

How THEY WRITE.-In London letter,
describing the journalists dinner to Mr..
Forbes, the following paragraph makes
mention of the manner in which certain
notable literary men do their work !;
Many journalists in the present day dictate
their work to shorthand writer's. One of
the most prolific writer's on the London
daily Telegraph dictates every line of his
work. He has curious habit of compost
tion. He makes point of producing his
leader at the office every night. He takes
off his coat. waistcoat and boots, lights q
short pipe and walks about the room, and
in an hour his article is finished. Now and
then it is completed in half that time.
Lucy, of the daily Neps. dictates the
whole of bis matter. Yates hardly ever
writes line. HIS shorthand clerk is con-
tinually at his elbow. Several men have
tried to bring the typewriter into use, but
only Farjeon has been able to achieve sue
cess with it, and Farjeon was originally
printer, SO that the mechanical character
of the work bothered him less at the outset
than is the case with most writers. Then
the copy is not altogether pleasant 70 read,
being all capital letters.

Visit to the Queen Of Burmah.

A correspondent of the Calcutta States
man, in describing visit recently paid to
the Queen of Mandalay, says: "Her Maj
esty is rather elderly, and has no personal
attractions beyond an exceedingly kind
and pleasant countenance and very gra-
cious manner. She was very simply dressed
rather carelessly, thought, her hair be-
ing worn in two plaits at the back, style
of coiffure very unusual with the Burmah
ladies who delight in large chignons; and
if nature has not favored them with redan-
dant locks, they augment it, as to their
fairer sisters, with false tresses. The
princesses were well got up; all wore fine
handsome silks of Mandelay manufacture,
which trailed on the floor, looking quite
graceful, above this a white jacket-bodice,
fitting close to the figure, over which was
worn another demi-ftting jacket of the
whitest and finest cambria, with long bas-
ques and very narrow long sleeves, about
yard and half in length, the extra length
when worn being gathered on the wrists.
The only ornaments worn by the second
Princess were diamond spray and a red
coral pin, which contrasted well with her
ebon hair The youngest Princess, besides
the diamond spray, wore over her chignon
a half wreath Of natural Jessamine flowers,
her neck being encircled with a necklet OF
diamonds, with a second necklet composed
of three rows of real pearls, with 10 thick
gold bangles, nine on each arm. Besides
this, all wore thick round pieces of imita-
ton or real emeralds, let into the lobe OF
the ear. / had also the pleasure of seeing
daughter of His Majesty's brother, who
was killed in the rebellion some years ago.
She looked quite nice in her fresh toilet;
instead of the inner tight-fitting bodice worn
by the other Processes she had rose col
ored silk handkerchief under her cambria
jacket, arranged like bodice. which looked
quite charming; she was regaling herself
with tremendous cigar, looking quite hap
py and well, her face constantly beaming
with smiles As to seeking an interview
with the King, any gentleman, even the
highest representative of the English Gov
ernment, would not only have to take off
his boots, but would have to SIT on the fiool
with his legs doubled under him, his hands
clasped together, awaiting his Majesty. A

A Novel Use Of the Telephone.


Courting through the medium of the
electric telegraph is no longer in vogue.
Long usage, coupled with tantalizing mis-
takes and abuses, has rendered it obso-
lete and unromantic. The telephone, as a
mode Of conveying thought, is newer and
simpler. Tt admits of greater prolixity
than the telegraph, and being unattended
by that monotonous click, which puzzles
and perplexes the uninitiated, makes it,
save that close, pleasant and really heaven
ly proximity of lovers, indeed and in truth
courting her after the prescribed formula
of ages, at least, which we call .' .'modern. !"
Louisville has been charged with being an
old fogy town, but in love scrapes she
leads the van. The mind of the average
Louisville belle or beaux is lasping, invent
i've and ever on the alert for something
novel-something unheard of in story or
song. It would be an endless task to re-
hearse the triumphs which have been won
in. this one special and truly noble field.
But the latest is the greatest and best, and
destined to prove the most enduring. An
instance of this, is that there exists one
young and loving couple, living fully one
mile apart, who whisper their sweet, soft
nothings through the agency of Professor
Relrs latest invention. Not only has Pro-
fessor Bells invention been used as con-
veyor of whisperings of love, bnt, on a
very recent occasion, when dress party
was given at the residence of the young
gentleman, it was made the medium by
which those present were introduced to
the young lady, who unfortunately was
compelled to remain in her room through
lndisposition. Sympathy and consolation
were extended to her by tins means, and
under such auspices how could the fair one
longer suffer !-Louisgitts Coarter.Joar-
