A ShOemaker's Rich Strike.

4 wedding occurred recently in Chi
cago which recalls strikingly some of the
incidents in the "Arabi,n Nights"
The Chicago Times, speaking of this
ceremony, says: 1t was between two
favorites of fortune whose sudden re-
moval from poverty to opulen has few
parallels in fiction and far fewer in real
life. The bridegroom is Mr.. August
Rische, who was Il year and half ago
a poor man, obtaining a meagre living
by working at his trade as u shoemaker.
He was one of the pioneers of Leadville
and had the good fortune TO strike it
rich" He was the discoverer of the Lit
tie Piltsburg mine. He is now the part
ner of Governor Tabor and the owner
of fourteen or fifteen mines, somes of
which are among the best silver mines
in the country. Among them are the
Saxon, Nevada, Hard Cash, Penfold,
Red Rogers and Alaska. Heis forty-five
years. The bride was Miss Minnie
Iunghuhn, twen5y-four years old. Till
IL few weeks ago she supported herself
by sewing in the establishment of Glauz
& Periolat. furIiers. The engagement
occurred few weeks ago. Mr.. Rise he
met Miss Iunghuhn ut Glauz Il Perio-
| lat's and proposed at once. The time of
the wedding was not decided on. how
| over, till Monday, when 1T was deter
mined to have it the following evening.
The wedding occurred at the residence of
Mr. and Mrs. g. f. Periolat, No. IA Park
avenue. The ceremony was solemnized
at 7.3O O'Clock by the Rev. Il. n. Morri-
son, Jr., of tie Church of the Epiphany.
Mr.. and Mrs. Iunghuhn. the parents of
the bride, and Mr.. and Mrs. Periolat
stood up with the bridal couple. The
bride was attired in Il pearl-colored silk
and brocaded satin, cut a In princesse,
with IA long square train, trimmed with
orange blossoms. She wore diamond
solitaire EARRINGS and diamond pin and
bracelets. After the ceremony a supper
of the most sumptuous character was
served. The bridal pair go 10 New Y York.
Washington and Baltimore, and then re-
turn by way of this city to Denver,
where they will reside. Mr.. Rische has
Just paid S42, 900 for n furnished house in
Denver, TO which he will take his bride.
Mr.. Rische's present to the bride con-
sisted of a watch and chain and Dia-
mond .jewelry to the value of 81, 800, and
100, 900 in government bonds. Some OF
the finest presents were sent by Mr.
Rische's Denver friends, and did not az
rive i'm time for the wedding.

An Extraordinary Case.

Some twenty three miles distant from
Kingstown, Ind, in German settle
ment, there is n young woman, some
twenty-one years of age, daughter of
Casper Schmidt, who is TO all appear
ances quite dead, having been in that
state for nearly twelve months past. She
aw;.kens, however, once every twenty
four hours, precisely at ten O'Clock at
night, and will converse with the family
and others for about twenty minutes,
when she will again relapse into the
comatose state, and remain so until ten
o'clock the following night, at which
hour she revives to the minute, throw
ing out her arms and folding her hands
until the spectators imagine that her
bones are cracking. She remains in
that laborious state for the space of ten
minutes, when she comes to a perfect
possession of her faculties.
A singular feature of the case is, the
young lady recollects well if any prom
ises have been made her the previous
night, and will be very fretful for time
if they are not fulfilled; but if the things
are brought her she makes use of none of
them, as she eats and drinks little, or
nothing at all. She could never be per-
suaded to attempt to eat any food hut
three times during thirty-two days. and
then put the three together she did not
eat any more than a child year old
would take. After conversing a few
minutes this remarkable young lady will
suddenly clasp her hands together
throw her arms into the same manner
as when awakening, and willreturn into
the same somnolent state AS before unit
! ten o'clock the following night.

Pueblo Indians In Court.

A novel scene was presented in Chief
Justice Princes court ut Santa Fe, New
Mexico, II short time since. Five of the
so called Indians" from the Pueblo
of Laguna were brought into court for
trial. The Pueblo Indians of New
Mexico are the only remnant still exist
ing of the civilized aboriginal Americans,
whom Cortez found on his arrival in
Mexico, living to-day exactly as they
did 400 years ago; and those of Laguna
are especially advanced in agriculture
and mechanical arts. They are Il quiet,
Industrious, honest and law-abiding peo-
pie, having their own municipal govern
ment. and seldom, if ever, coming into
the United States courts. On this oc-
casion about thirteen were in attendance,
five having been indicted for driving a
large flock of sheep into their village. 1t
appeared, however, on the trial that tine
sheep were trespassing, and were driven
in by direction of their governor, and
