An obscrvant spectator will notice that
the irst-story windows OF a large house at
the corner of Norfolk street, London. pre-
sents peculiar appearance. The shutters
are up, and they are covered thickly with
dust, while though the chinks can be seen
the blinds, also thick with dust, and mold
ering away with age. These shutters and
blinds have been in exactly the same posi-
ton, untouched, for more than forty years.
During that time no human foot has enter
ed that room.
And the reason is This; Forty years ago
more than torty-Lord Dysart was en-
gagged to he married, the day was fixed,
the wedding morning arrived, the break
fast was laid out in the spacious and
handsome room, the bridegroom was ready
to proceed to church, when it was discov-
cred that the bride was missing. A note
in her handwriting was found addressed
to the bridegroom, briefly informing him
that she had elOped that morning with
his best man, gay and gallant Captain
OF Dragons. The Tilted bridegroom did
not say mnch, but he went alone to the
room in which the wedding breakfast was
laid out, with his own hands put up the
shutters and drew the blinds, locked the
door and took the key. He gave orders
that the doors should be nailed up and
barred with padlocked bars, and that no
one should enter the room again. When
the house was let it was stipulated that

Brief mention was made in yesterday s
Herald Of cutting scrape between two
young men near Cedar Hill. From Il gen.
tleman who came in from the neighbOr'
hood we learn the following particulars;
The young men, Samuel Tomlinson and
George MCGregor, were waiting upon the
same young lady, Miss Rurdett, who was
present at the bail on the night Of the diff
iiculty.
Both OF the parties claimed the hand OF
the young lady for the dance, which crea-
ted Il quarrel betHecn the two, though at
last Tomlinson gave way and McGregor
led the young lady triumphant out on the
floor. The music played and the first
figure of the quadIlle had been gone
through with when Tomlnson, who had
been watching his rival as he danced with
his intended, for lie was engaged to her,
let the green-cycd monster get the upper
hand of him, and, springlng into the
midst of the dance, he caught his rival by
the throat and hurting him back attempted
to cut his throat with alarge pocket knife,
but the cut took effect in the breast, Just
below the right nipple.
In the meantime, McGregor had drawn
his pockct.knife and the fight became ter
rible. The company present were dumb
founded, so sudden and unexpected was
the fight, and it was not until the floor
was covered with blood that some of the
men present intcriered and separated the
parties. Both of them were badly cut and
fears are entertained us to the life Of Nc
Grcgor, who received wound in the re-
gion of the right lung. The young lady
who was the cause of the sad affair tainted
during the aifray.

From the Chlcago Times.
An attempt is now making to teach the
Colorado Indians agriculture. An agency
has been established on the White rlver,
farms marked off, and seeds, books, i'm
plements and all aids to agricultural in
structions introduced. The experiment
has not been very successful thus far, but
it may be that too much has been expect
ed. Ages of nomadic life have bred dis
like Of any regular or permanent occupa-
ton, which cannot be overcome in year
or two. Douglas, chief Of the tribe, has
become an ardent believer in the benefit
of agriculture to his people, and is doing
his utmost to encourage and further it
among them. In Colorado irrigation is
necessary to farming, and much labor is
required to bring water by canals to the
growing crops. The latest reports from
the White river agency are that Douglas
and twenty-five Of mis- tribe had in five
weeks dug canal six to ten feet wide and
four feet deep, and were still diligently at
work. They were averse to beginning,
but they have grown fond of it. The gen
eral public will feel interested in the result
of the experiment. II the Indians can be
persuaded to adopt and pursue agricul-
ture, the vexed Indian question will net
be very far from solution. Douglas is
represented as man of unusual intelli-
gence, perspicacity, and force of charac-
ter, to have the good Of his people so
much at heart, and to exercise such inhu-
ence over them, that there is reason to
believe that the Colorado aborigines will
in time embrace many Of the ways ard
purpuits OF civilization.

From the New Sun.
Mr.. Barry, in his work, Russia in 1870,
tells tie following story of the ims
when slavery was an institution
in that country, A certain ironmastel
caused man who had offended him to
be locked up in an iron cage, and kept
him confined in it for length of time.
At last, while he was absent on Journey,
the case fhiS wretched prisoner came to
the knowledge of the Governor of the
proysncc. The Governor caused the man,
cage and all to be brought to the Govern
mcnt town, and invited the tyranical
iron master to dinner. After the dinner
was over the Governor sent for Il quail in
a wooden cage, and offered to sell it to
his guest for 10000 rOubles. The offer be-
ing treated as a Joke, the Governor said
he had more valuable bird to sell, and
told the servant to bring it i'll. Folding
doors few open, and the iron cage with its
captive was set down before the
guest. Now, said the Gov
cmor, what do you think of that for a
quiil?' But this isavery expensive bird,
| want 10000 rOubles for him. "All
right, said the alarmed proprietor, 81
will buy this one; send him down to my
works without the cage, and your messen-
ger shall bring back the amount" The
matter was thus pleasantly settled and
the company adjourned in mdisturbed
harmony to their coffee.

The very beauty and gloss of culture

lectual dandy, who stands everlastingly
before the mirror of his own mind, to

dcgenerates into lazy, lackadaisical

Andyew'S Bds1r, a fashion monthly, is
about to adopt a new feature, viz, the il
lustration and description of fashions for
gentlemen. 1t is hoped the proprietor of
the Bd,dr will not place the new depart
ment in the hands of the persons who
describe the female fashions. 1t would
sound odd to read that "gentlemen's
trowsers this season are cut bias in the
legs and trimmed with chenille fringe at
the knees; coats are longer in the tails,
and are worn without an over skirt; vests
are cut decollete in the neck, and are
profusely trimmed with gimp braid.
Skirts are still worn, but the polonaise is
dispensed with; dress coats for parties are
belted in the corsage, and the corset
basque is worn tight; and But this is
sufficient. OF course, we should know at
once what thewriter meant, but there are
some fashionable gentlemen whose educa-
tion has been awtully neglected in this
particular.

A Pop Reed, Of Philadelphia.

ldPop Reed, OF Philadelphia
The old man, you know, liked his
"tod, and when under its influence dld
some very funny things sometimes. One
day he took an old "bustcd" musket from
the green-room, and jumping into one Of
Jack Peters old coaches, rode ten miles
ont in the country. He was starring
"Spartacus" at the time, and the play
couldn't 90 on without him. So the boys
closed the theater and started out to hunt
him up. After three days search we
found him sitting by the side of Il ditch
about fifteen miles ont of town, trying to
shoot an imaginary bullfrog. We brought
hm back, and after that Il big fellow
named Flynn kept watch over him.
Wherever he went Flynn would also go.
They would eat, drink and sleep together,
and finally Flynn got to be as bad as TIE
old man, and one night, while they were
in Charleston, Booth tried to smother
Flynn by stufing pillow in his mouth,
and the latter defended himself with a
poker and broke the poor old mans nose.
Booth got 1925 week wherever he went.
Young Ned isn't to be compared with
him. Now, there was Wilkes. He was
an actor. Just like the old man, too-as
crazy as Il bed-hug. Ny how he used to
dress! heard him say once, about five
years before he shot the President. tEat he
was going to do something some day that
would startIc the world. What he meant
you can Judge of well as can.

Yesterday forenoon, while a Detroit JUS
tice of the Peace sat warming his feet by
the stove, and his nose by a cigar, a
stranger entered and presently inquired:
Judge, how much will you charge me
to read over about fifteen lines Of printed
matter from book have?"
"Why, can't you read them?" replied
his Honor.
81 can, but want to hear how the lines
sound when read aloud. III give you a
quarter to read them to me-"
"All right" replied the Justice, 81
can't earn two shillings quicker.
A woman opened the door at that mo-
ment, and the stranger put down the book
on the desk, clasped her hand, and said:
"Begin at the pencil mark there, and
read slowly"
His Honor's chin dropped exactly eight
cen inches by dry measure as he saw that
the reading matter was the usual form Of
marriage, but he didn't back down from
his word. It was the cheapest marriage
he ever attended, and he didn't half enjoy
the chuckles of bride and groom as they
went out
