met her. He was a man ~ culture and
refinement, highly educated, spoke sew
eral languages, and had travelled all
over the world. He led a rather re-
tired life at .rs:, but his polished man

represented himself as a master me-
chanic, of New York, and gave As a
reason for his change of abode tha; his
health would not stand the severe
northern climate. He died n few days

How a Young Austrian Made a Voyage
to America.

Conrad k%anauss, q young Austrian,
81 years of age, created a sensation
among the emigrants that were being
transferred yesterday from the Bremen
steamer Wcser to Castle Garden. Just
before the emigrant depot Was reached
he sought a secluded portion of the deck.
opened his chest, and took out a suit of
male clothing, which he proceeded to
put on in place of the female garments
he had worn during the voyage. He
recently quilted Austria to visit his par
ents in Munich, Bavaria, where they had
resided for the last ten years. There he
met a sailor friend, who persuaded him
to come to America. He made all his
preparations, and two days before leav-
ing Munich he applied to the local
authorities for apassport. They refused
one on the ground that he was an Aus
trian citizen, and should apply to the
authorities of that country. This caused
a delay of four weeks or MORE, with the
probability of his not getting over, as he
is of age to be drafted into the army.
He therefore assumed the female dis
guise, in which a beardless face and
small figure favored him, and travelled
from Munich to this city as the sister of
his sailor cOmpanion.-NeD York Sun.

The MurpbyS.

A freckle-face girl stopped at the
Post Office the other day and yelled out /:
"Any thing for the NJ ,rphys?"
"NO, there is not"
"Any thing for Jane Murphy"
"Nothing."
"Any thing for Ann Murphy"
"No."
"Any thing for Tom Murpby?"
"NO, SIR"
"Any thing for Bob Murphy"
"No, sir; not a bit"
"Any thing for Terry Murphy"
"No; nor for Pat Murphy, nor Den
mis- Murphy, nor Pete Murphy, nor Paul
Murphy, nor any Murphy, dead, living,
unborn, native or foreign, civilized or
uncivilized, savage or ~barbarous, male
or female, black or white, franchised or
disfranchised, naturalized or otherwise.
No, sir; there is positively nothing for
any of the Murphys, either Individually,
jointly, severally, now and forever, n
and inseparable."
The girl looked at the Postmaster in
establishment, and said:
"Please to look if there is any thing
for Clarence Murphy?"
This is about q fair sample of the
questions asked at tie Post-office when
