Elias Lipsis, a brother of the late
Adah Isaacs Menken, was variety show
manager in San Francisco. He had a
wife, known on the stage as Carrie Will
son, and when he committed suicide last
spring she had his remains handsomely
buried in Laurel Hill Cemetery. A few
days ago she went with some flowers to
decorate his grave, and was astonished to
find that a young woman had placed an
elaborate floral cross over the remains Of
her husband. The widow demanded an
explanation, and the other introduced
herself as Rose Evans, saying that Lipsis
had loved her much more than he did
his wife. There was, of course, violent
quarrel, in which she accused the
other of driving Lipsis to take
his own life. The widow asserted her
exclusive right to decorate the grave, and
Rose did not dispute it, but withdrew after
triumphantlv showing a letter in which
Lipsis had written to her: 81 am not in
the best of spirits, for my wife arrived
this noon from Virginia City, and have
had hell. Now, my darling, don't think
less of me on account of her returning,
for I swear to you, my darling, that |
love only you, and to lose you would
break my heart" A few days later it
was observed that Rose was keeping a
mound, in another part of the cemetery,
covered with flowers, and an investiga-
ton showed that she had hired a sexton
to remove the coffin, leaving an empty
grave for the widow to decorate.

WE see that Mr.. Ex-Vice Presider

We see that Mr.. Ex-Vice President
Colfax is quite unhappy, and has written
letter accordingly, seeking to discour-
age the idea of permitting foreigner to
puncture the sacred backbone of the
Isthmus of Darien with canal to the
detriment of the vested rights of the Pa
cifc Railroad. Mr.. Colfax's relations to
the Pacific Railroad have long been such
that it is expected that he will sneeze
when that corporation takes snuff, hence
it ought to excite no surprise to hear that
he has taken up the cudgels to frighten
away the Frenchman.

A Gipsey Wedding.

There was Gipsey wedding in Pro-
bate Court in Columbus, o., the other
day. Two men, five women and three
children belonging to the band OF wan
derers presented themselves at the court
and asked for license. The bride wore
a pink muslin dress slightly en- train,
with shawl OF many colors, and COM
mon black straw hat. Her hair was
straight and Jet black, and on her fingers
were two brass rings. One OF her sisters
wore a white satin shawl, and another a
silk dress, and both giggled immoder-
ately. \ minister who happened to be
serving on jury was sent for and the
ceremony was performed. 4 jollier
crowd never attended wedding.
"What's the damage 2" asked the hus-
band. putting his hand in his pocket.
Anything you want to give" replied
his male Gipsey companion. The
preacher received a respectable fee. A
vicious young Gipsey in a white dress,
red wooden. jacket and garden hat COW
cred with white gauze, jumped up and
congratulated the bride, when her COM
panions followed her example. Then
the wedding tramp began.

some ruthless hunters. Its deership only
succeeded in getting up Main street as

and Prof. Jones, not having the love of
God or the fear OF the d before
their ewes, seized its deership in the
most cruel and barbarous manner, in
broad day light, on the most public
street in town, and in the presence OF a
large number of witnesses, cut its
throat, after which it was released and
ran some three or four hundred yards
To the river, which il endeavOred to
cross, but the water entered the wind
