Stumbling Into a Marriage.


A comely young maiden, fresh from
the shores of old England, arrivedinths
city on her way West to join her brothe,
who lives in a small town in Ohio. When
she arrived here she concluded to stop
over one train and visit her cousin, who
is employed at the coke ovens on Mount
Washington. After the greetings were
exchanged, she went to the depot and
found that she had missed the train. As
she was a stranger in the city she deter
mined to return to her cousin 8 boarding
house and await the next train. She
again assembled the mountain, and while
on her way she passed around the cor
ner of a stable and stumbled against
stalwart peddler, who is likewise Ger
man, and bears the name Of Lather-
baugh, and who was going from the oP
posite direction. He apologized for the
accident, and, being struck with the En-
glish maiden's appearance, stopped ior
a. moment. Then conversation was
had which ended by Latherbaugh ~
campaigning her to her cousins house.
In half an hour after they had reached
the clearinghouse they were betrothed.
The happy German Immediately started l
out in quest of a minister, and in rev
moments the silken knot of matrimong
was tightly tied. = Htts5tsrg Gazet6.

Shortening Names.

A Brooklyn lawyer, Mr.. Michael
Grlschenske, has taken the steps pre-
scribed by law for shortening his name
to Michael Cru. We make mention Of
this private matter in the interest of the
public. If Mr.. Gru's example should be
generally followed, the result would be
large economy of valuable time, to say
nothing of paper and ink. His is by no
means the only name which might wise
ly be shortened. How convenient 4
would be to call the city halfway be-
tween New York and Albany POUCH, or
plain Pc, instead of Poughkeepsie.
There is Western city which has tried
the patience of a continent Not SO
much because of its length as because
of its multiplicity of ms and is, Cincin-
natl is an evaporation to writer's and
printers. Why not say Gimp The short
and easy Gin Com would furnish new
bond of union with one of the most es-
teemed of our contemporaries. Missis-
sippi is another unmanageable name.
Why not Mispi? 1t would be easy to
multiply cases ripe for the reform which
Mr.. Cru has begun.-N. Y. Eceaing

Mr.. J. H. Liddons, who knew Charles
Dickens from boyhood, says that he
found himself very lately one night at a
railway station near Northwich. "Scarce-
ly had / set foot on the PLATFORM he
writes, "when was accosted by a tall
young man of the yeoman type, who
had come to fetch the letter-bag. DO
you wish for bed, STRIP asked he, or
are you going on?' l told him that l
was bound for Northwich, two miles off.
You can not get there, sir, till later in
the morning. Twill drive you there, as
l go with the mailbag at O'Clock. ,
Accordingly, concluded to accept a
bed, and u supper if possible, at the
hostely close at hand. I.entered the
kitchen, where u bright fire was burn
ing, and sat myself before it, There
was kettle on the hob singing d duet
with a chirping cricket. A large why
terrier came and crouched at my feet.
There was nothing strange in this. But
presently heard o'clock, clock, behind

came in and informed me that my sup

parlor. Dot, by Jove!' l more than
muttered. l ate my supper and went
to bed. My host reused me at haf-past 4,
gave me a cup of coffee-aM bore me off
in his little chaise to Northwich. On the
way we passed q fine old-fashioned
house. 'Who lives therep' l asked.

Dynastic SUGGESTIONS.

The oldest of European dynasties,
which claims a succession OF 200 heads,
during 1918 years, and which gives
something like proof of the sequence of
217 pontiffs since the year AID. 327, was
Independent of the law of descent. The
present head of the royal house of France
can trace an unbroken descent of &c
generations from. Hugh Capet; but DUR
ing that cycle of $40 years the regnant
line has thrice been broken, and the
descendants of younger branches have
twice been called on to step into the
front rank. The longest male line
among the nobility of Europe,s that of
the Montmorencies, which claims to
have raised its cyi of sc Dieu aide au pre-
naicr Chretien :" in AID. 1877, is now
represented in France only by two aged
ladies'. The % dynasties of China do,
indeed, cover u longer period than the
50 dyeasties of Egypt Gncluding Alex
ander and the Ptolemies). Their slowly
changing order has endured to our time
But the era of hereditary kings in China
is fixed not earlier than the commence
ment of the foreign reign of the Hyksos
in Egypt. When Fou Hi invented the
art Of writing in China, the hieroglyphic
system of Egypt was already perfect
both in significance and in execution.
The founding of Memphis preceded that
of the Great Pyramid by a period equal
to that which divides the reign of Queen
Victoria from the Norman Conquest.
If we add to this the whole period of the
Papacy from the tabled Primary Of Peter
to Leo Kill, we shall not have measur-
ed period SO long as that which, COM
mencing with Menes, preceded the
establishment of the mighty eighteenth
dynasty at Thebesa We must add
term equal to the duration of the French
royalty, from Charlemagne to 1889, be-
fore we reach the period Of final decad-
ence, when Persian and Ethiopian kings
strove for the spoils Of Egypt, We may
well ask, in wonder, are these veritable
records of human life and empire?

Facts About Flour.

Flour is peculiarly sensitive to the at
mospheric influences, hence it should
never be stored in a room with sour
liquids, nor where onions or fish are
kept, nor any article that taints the air
of the room in which it is stored. ANY
smell perceptible to the sense will be
absorbed by flour. Avoid damp cellars
or lofts where a free. circulation of air
can not be obtained. Keep in cool,
dry, airy room, and not exposed to a
freezing temperature nor to intense
summer or to artificial heat for any
length of time above so to IS degrees
Fahrenheit. 1t should not come in con-
tact with grain or other substances
which are liable to heat. Flour should
be sifted and the particles thoroughly
disintegrated and then warmed before
baking. This treatment improves the
color and baking properties of the
dough. The sponge should be prepared
for the oven as soon as the yeast has
performed its mission, otherwise fer
mentation sets in and acidity results

A divorce and marriage occurred re-
Gently which were of a nature somewhat
peculiar and amusing. A German shoe
maker residing on the National Road,
west of White River bridge, became
suspicious of the fidelity of his wife, a
young baker residing on Blake Street
being the person whom he Suspected of
alternating his wife's affections. He
preached the unpleasant subject to his
wife one evening, and she acknowledged
the impeachment. A divorce was mu-
tually agreed upon, and a. division of the
property was made, the wife receiving
$3.50 and a cow All preliminary ar
engagements were made, no hard feelings
having been engendered on the part of
any of the parties interested, and on the
day appointed the baker and neie hbor'

granted, neither party interposing any

party stopped at saloon, and, while
they were drinking the wine, the baker

FArTENING pigs, says the Country
Gentleman, should be kept in perfectly
clean quarters,i their pens cleaned at
least twice a day, plenty Of clean dry lit
ter supplied, and the manure heap out
side kept clean from odor by alternating
layers of road dust, coal ashes, turf, or
other absorbent. They should be fed
with regularity, and never made to
squeal from hunger. Young pigs should
be SO well attended to that they may
grow constantly through every day Of
their existence. Sheep should have
daily feeding of grain as soon as the
pasture becomes dry, beginning small
and raising to half pint at feeding.
Cattle should have enough to maintain
good, strong condition to enter winter.
All animals within doors should have
pure air and pure water.
