A wedding MYstery solved.

From the New York Tribune.
An American recently solved mystery
which had confused and amazed we'd
ding party in Rome. The bride was the
daughter of one of the most noble mar
quscs OF old or modern Rome, and the
groom was the scion of another noble
house. When the wedding contract had
been signed the groom took the hand of
his young wife in his own and kissed its
fingers. She smiled at this, and allowed
her hand to rest where he placed it. But
in a moment, to the dismay of the com.
pany, voice was heard, as from her lips,
saying: 'lmpertinent! how dTe you
touch my hand? Be off, fool" Still she
smiled as before, and her lover ga2ed up
on her face in dismay. Suddenly she
seemed to laugh, and it was IL dry and
ironicaI laugh that startled people more
than the words they had heard before.
Has the girl gone mad?" some one ask
ed. She tainted, and her friends gathered
closely around the sofa on which she had
fallen. At this moment young Amer
lean, described as "of great learning, but
generally very tacitum and almost timid
in manner, offered to examine into the
cause Of the strange occurrences, and ap-
preached the sofa. Casting his eyes on
and around the sofa. and then about the
room, he proceeded to crawl along the
floor on his hands and knees until he
came to large ottoman. Behind this he
found IA young servant who had been dis
missed from the house that mornig, and
went away declaring that she would be re-
venged. BY some means she had found
her way into the parlor and concealed her.
self behind the ottoman. Being ven
triloquist, she was able there to speak in
u tone of voice which was naturally attri-
buted to the bride.

. Going Into Mourning.

The Rev. John Mcleod, of the South.
western Presbyterian Church in Philadel-
phia, gave his congregation his views last
Sunday about mourning and funerals.
He disapproves of whole families
going into monrning," but he believes
in symbols of mourning, and thinks that a
band OF Grape around the hat or n black
ribbon on the dress is all sufficient for the
purpose, He also deplored expensive
funerals, and said that all funerals should
take place in churches, and not from pri.
vate houses.

Jealous OF a Corpse.

From the Pittsburg Lender.

From the PittHhnrg Lender
A scene of very disagreeable nature is
said to have occurred recently at funeral
in this city. 1t seems that young mar
ricd lady who died had previous to her
marriage received the attentions of gem
tleman who afterward married another
lady. At the funeral of the former lady
the wife of the gentleman, who is practic-
ing his profession in this city, repaired to
the house where the last sad rites were
being performed, and when the minister
of the gospel had finished his eulogy OF the
deceased she approached the coffin and be-
gan to address the assembled friends and
relatives in an excited manner. From
what could be gathered from her excited
utterances it would seem that she was
Jealous OF the deceased, and she announced
that should her husband approach the
coffin, even so much as to look at the
corpse, she would tear out his eyes. The
woman became excited and violent in her
demonstrations, and considerable cOnfus-
ion resulted among the astonished persons
present. She was finally elected from the
room, and for fear that another scene
should occur, gentleman was dispatched
to the pavement outside, where her hus-
band was, and requested him not to enter
the house, This unpleasant incident has
occasioned great deal OF gossip since its
occurrence, especially as all the parties
occupy high social positions.

why beans require stronger powers of di-
