His Six-fOOt Bride.

A social sensation of considerable mag
nitude has just leaked out at Indianapo-
lis. West of that city resides farmer
named Huffman, very wealthy, and the
father of blooming daughter, aged II,
who weighs 205 pounds, and stands six
foot-one in her stockings. The old gentle
man himself is no ''small potatoes" being
six. feet tve-and-a-half high, and weighing
225. Sarah was beloved by grocer's
clerk, who was not only poor, but, so tn
speak, stunted, being small-very small
in comparison with his love. Old man
Huffman locked up his girl and swore
she shouldn't marry, but she vowed
she would, and Clemens at that.
The house was guarded by members OF n
mounted horse thief detective company, OF
which Huffman and his brother were the
principal msn. Last Friday night Was
dark and gloomy, and was selected a. the
time for the eiopcment Sarah lett the
house and found . carriage in waiting.

ABOUT THE PRINCE OF WALEs.-In re-
lation to the Prince of Wales's good ma
ture, it is told that he was one evening
attracted to the scene of London fire,
and finding that neither he nor the little
group of gentlemen with him had a
fusee with which to light his cigar, &C.
cepted light from quick witted re-
porter, who stood nesr. He lighted his
cigar and then held out his case TO the
reporter, and courieously asked him to
help himself. The other, trembling with
delight, took . cigar; but instead Of
smoking il, extracted an Echo from his

A Cold Day IN London.

A terrible day for the poor coster-
mOngers and stall-keepers of Whitecross
street. The fshwoman who yesterday
stigmatized the weather as beastly, be-
cause it drenched her shawl and made
her stand in puddle, could not, unless
she sent home for kettle Of hot water
and thawed the stubborn ice in the ken
mel, find a puddle to stand in, though
she walked a mile in search of it, and
her life depended on it. A day SO Bit
ingly and bitterly cold that the very
turnips and carrots set out in penny
lots on the bleak boards looked nipped
up and frost bitten, and would be CRATE
full to any one who would take them
home and pop them into comforting
pot of hot soup. Gin fails, this morn
ing, to be all that is desired by the mis-
cradle women who indulge in it at the
bars of the Whitecross street gin shops.
There does not seem to be warmth
enough in the fiery liquid to set free the
slatternly dram-drinkers' powers Of
speech, or to alter the leaden hue OF
their lips. The male loafers at the beer
shops find no comfVt in pewter meas
ures-perhaps it is because their pockets
are frozen out and loiter by the lamp
posts, asking each other in dismayed
voices how "long this ere is a-going to
last" as they stamp their feet and blow
on their knuckles for warmth's sake.
The sudden frost seems to have paralyzed
this neighborhood of squalor, and every
body is half benumbed and wretched
looking--except the children. Here
they come in troop-Billy of yester-
day and his young friends among the
number, and though the shoes and boots
of the whole party, on account of their
ramshackle, would not, if all sold to an
old Jew, realize enough money to buy a
single new pair, the Dervish dance they
performed yesterday was quite lame
performance to what they are equal to
this morning. Their jackets and frocks
are miserably thin (for there are little
girls as we'll as boys,) and flutter in the
wind, and in many cases the tiny tat
terdemalions have neither hat nor cap,
and their hair is prematurely gray with
the snow that lodges in it. But they
don't mind it bit. Mind it'll They re-
joice and revel in it, and laugh out
loud, though their muses. are blue, and
the breath puffs out white as steam
when they open their mouths.-London
Society.

Habits of Kant, the Metaphysician.

If Balzac's may be taken as the type
of the artists life, Rants may be taken
as the type of the students. The habits
of both are equally we'll known. The
author of ''Pure Reason" like the novel
list, gave daily dinner party; but when
his guests were gone he took walk in
the country, instead of seeking broken
slumbers in state of hunger. He came
home ut twilight, and read from candle
light till bedtime, at ten. He rose
punctually at five, and, over one cup of
tea and a part Of pipe, laid out his plan
of work for the day. At seven he lect-
ured, and wrote till dinner-time, at about
one. The regularity of his life was
automatic. 1t was that of Balzac, save
in fulfilling all the accepted conditions
of health--early rising, early lying down,
moderate daily work, nightly rest, regu-
lar exercise, and a diet regulated with
the care, not of lunatic, but a physician.
A cup Of tea and half pipe in the morn
ing cannot be looked upon as stimulant
to man in such perfect health as Kant
always enjoyed; and, if they can be, let
it be observed that it was while engaged
with these he thought about his work
it was his hour for what Campbell
called his "fuming meditations." He
certainly used no other stimulant to
work, in the common sense of the word !;
but he ever illustrates, in another point,
the need of the mind for artificial con-
ditions, however slight they may be,
when engaged in dreaming. During the
blind mans holiday between his walk and
candle light, he sat down to think in
twilight fashion; and, while thus en-
gagged, he always placed himself SO that
his eyes might fall ON a certain old tow
er. This old tower became so necessary
to his thoughts that, when some popular
trees grew up and hid it from his window,
he found himself unable to think at all,
until, at his earnest request, the trees
were cropped and the tower brought into
sight again. Rants old tower recalls
Buttons incapacity of thinking to good
purpose, except in full-dress and his hair
in such elaborate order that, by way OF
external stimulants to his brain, he had a
hair dresser to interrupt his work twice,
or when very busy, thrice day.-Home
Journal.

MURDER CONFESSED AFTER FIFTY YEARS

brother of George Blake Esq, now living

trip to New Brunswick, where he had been
engaged in buying and selling cattle and
other matters, and brought with him 81, 500,
mostly in gold, He stopped at Bangor a
day or two, and then started on foot for
Atkinson, stopping the first night at tav-
ern nine miles north, in what is now Glen

so called. He was never seen or heard
from afterward but it was the
general opinion that he was mur-
dered, and that two persons were suspected,
but whether legal Investigation was'had it
was not remembered; at any rate, no clue
was found to the perpetrators of the crime.

THE CHANGE OF PosIrfoNs. There is Lady
Derby and Lady Salisbury. Lady Derby
was. a Marchioncss when Lady Salisbury
was only plain Mrs. Cecil, though by
courtesy called Lady Cecil. The then March,
ioness of Salisbury snubbed Mrs Cecil and,
without doubt, treated her shamefully, on
the sole ground that her son had married
beneath his rank. Well in the whirligig Of
time Mrs. Cecil has had her revenge The
Marchioness Of Salisbury lost her husband,
and remarked her old love, the Earl Of
Derby, while, by a series Of unexpected
Deaths Mrs. Cecil found herself Marchion-
ess of Salisbury The former sank to her
second husbands level, while the latter rose
with her husband to his.
The former, by the laws of precedence, is
now only Countess, and the latter, as q
Marchioness, outranks her at court by no
less than eleven steps. This was, of course,
a terrible revenge, but it was not yet com
pete. The Countess of Derby, as the wife
of the foreign Minister, occupied an ex-
ceptionally high position in society, and
held her Tevees something in the style of
the late Viscountcss Palnerston. The
Marchioness of Salisbury might have been
content in the ousting her from that posi-
ton, and leaving her to sink into the rank
and file of ordinary Countesses but she
had not yet had the full measure Of her re-
yenge Nothing would satisfy her but that
her husband should be the successor of his
stepfather in his high office, and there was
not happier woman in England than Lady
Salisbury, when, the day after Lord Derby s
resignation, the court column of the jour
mails announced that Lady Derbys adver-
tised levee would not be held London
