LOVER TO S~TEPFATHER.
A Sudden and Lively Transition.

1t is said that in the west proximity
and association with the red men have
ensanguined the temper of the settler,
and made the average Hoosier revenge
full to eccentricity; which seems true
when we hear the story of a young pork
packer who loved a maiden only sixteen
years Of age, and courted her for ten
months, with the usual amount of ice
cream and buggy drives, until the girls
mother began to feel herself already In
the first stages Of mother-in-law. But
Hoosiers, eve when in love, are matter
of-fact and business-like, and do not
understand the mysteries and humors
Of female coquetry. Our Hoosier lover
was SO certain Of his game that he had
engaged his groomsmen and bought a
%spike-tail coat. He had also fixed his
eye On pretty house, and vas thinking
his wife would look as pretty as a large
sized pork speculation In 1t. He went
to her house in this mood, and having
drawn a short and concise diagram of
his business status and prospects, pro-
ceeded to ask the young lady to have
him. She bridled up, and, as a Ken
tuckian would say, backed her ears,
and then said that fair young Hoosier
maiden: Ibid I everl Why, you are
old enough to be my father. Go along.
I never thought of such a thing as
marrying you."
"But," said the love, surprised and
dumbfounded, 'did all them buggy rides
and ice ream mean nothing?"
Nothing at ALL" replied the girl.
"You are old enough to be my father"
And she skipped up stairs with many a
derisive giggle.
SAN right" said the Hoosier lover,
well see about It."
He went home and wrote a tote to
the girls mother, who was a lively wild
ow of only t~hirty-five and told her that
he had suddenly discovered that he
loved her as q sweetheart rather than a
mother-in-law.
The fair widow saw it; and the
daughter was suddenly surprised to find
her recent lover changed to her step
father.
She thought it was funny until the
couple returned from the wedding tour,
and then the newly-made step-father
said to her:
"My daughter, you are too fond of
beaux. Nice young men, ice cream
and buggy rides are not proper luxuries
for a little girl like you. I am old en-
ough to your father; and what's more,
l am. Go up stairs, take off that there
silk dress, get ready for school and don't
let me hear beau or buggy, ice cream
or nice young man from you for at least
three years.
And now that young lady is retired
in calico and study, vainly %repenting
her rashness, and finding out by dire
that a lover scorned can be
ones worst enemy. especially when he
becomes a step-father.

Professor Wise's Eventual Career rs a
BalIo0uist.

Professor Wise's Eventual Career rs q
Balloonist.
Professor Wise, the veteran aero
naut, made his first balloon ascension In
Philadelphia in 1886, when he was a
young man OF 81 years. Unable to af-
ford silk, he procured as the material
for his experiment a quantity of muslin,
bird lime and linseed oil. With these he
constructed a comparatively air-tight
machine twenty-eight feet in diameter,
to which, when it was covered with its
network, he attached a round basket.
1t was two a half feet in diameter at
the bottom, and gradually extended to-
ward the top. In it he made his first
ascension on the I'd Of May. 1885. In
this, his first ascent, the professor
reached an elevation of q mile and a
half, remained in the air a little more
than an hour, and finally descended in
safety at Haddonield, in New Jersey,
about nine miles from Philadelphia. he
made six ascensions, more or less full
Of incident and danger, with the clumsy
machine before 1t abandoned him; for
in his sixth ascension, made from the
city of Lancaster, his balloon struck
the roof of a house as it arose, spilled
the professor out, leaving him clinglng
to the ridge, sailed away, and finally
| burst at an immense height. He next
constructed a balloon Of silk, called the
| Meteor, and made an ascension on May
8, 1885, from Lancaster, Pa, his home
| city, landing rear Port Deposit, Md,
after a three-hours ride. While he was
allowing the gas to escape from his bal
loon after landing, some persons ap-
preached too near with lighted lanterns.
The damp air was filed with the gas.
1t ignited, and the magnificent explos-
ion that resulted caused the total de-
| struction Of the balloon and %seriousin-
jury to the professor and others who
stood near. In August, 1888 exploded
a balloon at an altitude of 1900 feet,
and came down with the aid of a par
achute, but with such force as to send
him sprawlIng ten or more feet from
where he struck the ground. During
the war Professor Wise made balloons
for ascensions from different points oc-
cupied by the army Of the Potomac,
but did not succeed in bringing balloons
into general use as military observator-
les. In 1873 he constructed the Graph
ic, a huge balloon, in which he propos-
ed tocross the Atlantic from New York
but the project was abandoned. Mr..
Wise wal with Professor La Mountain
and two others III the balloon Atlantic,
which made the great aerial trip from
st. Louis to Jefferson county, N. T., In
July, 1859, being nineteen hours and
J forty minutes going the loo miles.

More Bonds Uniting America and England

From the Boston Post,
A London friend sends to the Post
the following interesting account Of
two unique American characters;
"These ladies, so well known through.
out the United States, are now per
manently settled in London, residing
in the a~ristocratic quarter of South
Kensington, Al Emperor's gate. 1t is
a large and imposing ediice Of stone,
four stories high. richly furnished, and
with them a tpresent reside their father,
mother, Mrs. Woodhull's only daugh-
ter, and recently an elder sister has
Joined them from America. And /
suppose / am first to publish to the
world what I am assured is a fact, and
I think it will astonish the reading
community and their personal friends
from New York to Texas, that in a
very short time they viii be the wives
Of two Of the leading members of the
British aristocracy. And how, says
the skeptic, has this wonderful and
romantic change In their conditions
taken place? Listen and 1 will tell
you. Between two and three years ago
Mrs. Woodruff landed In England to
I'LL an engagement to lecture for fifty
nights, commencing at st. James hall
In London. Broken down in health
and spirits, she, however, managed to
give several performances, but. on the
last and tenth night her physician told
her she must discontinue, for her health
was unequal to the task; but the fact
is, the principal cause of this sudden
termination of her engagement was
that the lady had the good fortune to
capture a gentleman of noble birth and
of wealth, whose name, title, and es-
tates she 300 will share. And shortly
the marriage bells of the fashionable
church near by will ring out their merry
peal, and the court journal chronicle
among its ''upper-ten marriages" the
names of these two ladies with gentle
men of title and wealth. Surely this

varied and not altogether pleasant ex
.eriences of former years, to come here,
the oldest, most exclusive, reserved
and ~aristocratic city of the world, and
obtain such a position, is'really me of
the marvels of the time. The sparkling
and viyacious Miss Tennie C. Claflin,
they inform me, has been equally sue
in the matrimonial line, for she
captured a title and a fortune,
and so what Mrs. woodruff once gave
as an opinion will shortly be realized
in her own individual experience:
/" My christian idea of social life is
to be possessed of a noble, af%fectionate
husband, who will protect his wife's
honor with his wi life, and make his
home sanctiHed and pure.'
"And L could not help thinking that
il this brief sketch should aver be read
by a certain colonel in New York, it
would perhaps strike him as rather
strange that Victoria C. is soon to
marry into a family of wealth and
blood.n

Mr.. EDITOR AS we have had quite har
angue on the chicken question, the two weeks
past, we would be glad to have the subject
changed 10 some other branch of business.
As has already been limited, we have all kinds
of chickens in our village some good for eggs,
some for raising young chicks, and some for
roosters-but most all of them do bother their
neighbors' gardens. In addition we have all
kinds of fancy birds, tanned and taught to
sng-from cat birds on down, but besides
chicks and birds we have many other kinds nf
living creatures, some of them in shape of hui
man beings sometimes called Gland sharks, !"
of which We have a few who seem to be all
for self, and not for his neighbor, only as he
gets dime out of them occasionally, and as
every one stands in need of all he has at pres
ent, with nothing to do, it stands him in
hand to spend what little he has for bread
and not for that which satisfies not.
Our paper-ware factory came to stand still
last Saturday night week, for few days, until
they can get a new dry house erected again,
when they expect to drive ahead again as
they have untitled orders Oh hand. Our saw
mill has run completely out of logs, but will
have supply of new ones in few days--as
they are now passing down the river for sale.
About three weeks ago, VIM. Snediker, not
having anything 10 do, sold his COW, watch
and gun to raise few dollars and started

he left, his youngest child sickened and died
