A young man in Brooklyn got drunk some
timo ago, and while in that reckless condition
he got married, rather, as he explains it,
young woman had herself married to him.
OF course, just rs soon as ho recovered his
sonscs he was surprised and indignant at
what had taken place. IIe hasn't tho slight
est idea how it camc about, and as he doesn't
particularly fancy the girl who was picked
out by somebody or another to be his wifo,
he is around the courts asking for q divorce.
The probability that he will succeed in getting
ono will tend to Interfere with tho develop.
ment Of this kind Of marriages. Thore is a
popular supposition that no young man in
his right mind gets married these days, and
tho temptation on the part of young women
to administer somo sort Of stimulant, under
the action Of which tho important ceremony
can be performed, is very great But if
young husbands who are captured in this way
are going to make fuss about it just the
moment they come to themselves again some
way will have to be devised which will keep
them in condition Of insensibility ull the
time. That is tho only safe thing.

show them many mere beautiful things and
make them somo presents besides. Nearly
the entire group of natives went down iG 'n2 ,

board, tho vessel sailed from their native
shore. After landing in America John took
one of tho kidnapped women MS his wife, and
as such they lived together until n few years
ago. when she died. John had distinct
recollection Of General Washington. aud

toned to regard him by his portrait. lIo

and could relate many incidents connected
with that struggle.
