s@Sa-Luting the Bride"

There was marriage at the upper
end of the Democrat, Lansing and
Northern road the other day. A great
big chap, almost able to throw carload
of lumber off the track, fell in love with
q widow who was cooking for the hands
at saw-mill, and after a weeks ae-
Quaintance they were married. The
boys around the mill lent William three
calico shirts, dress-coat, and pair OF
white pants, and Clipped IN a purse OF
about 500, and the couple started for
Detroit on bridal tour within an hour
after being married.
"This 'ere lady," explained William,
as the conductor came along for..tickets,
''are my bride. just spliced ffty-six
minits ago. Cost So, but durn the cost
She's lily of the valley, Mary is, and
I'm the right bower in new pack of
keerds. Conductor, salute the BRIDE"
The conductor hesitated. The widow
had freckles and wrinkles and turned
up nose, and kissing the bride was mo
qualification.
Conductor, salute the bride or look
out for tornadoes J" continued William
as he rose up and shed his coat.
The conductor sa-luted. 1t was the
best thing he could do just then.

FORE" muttered William, "but I'm
bound to see this thing through if I
have to fight all Michigan. These
there passengers has got to come up to
the chalk, they has,"
The car was full. William walked
down the aisle, waved his hand to COM
mand attention, and said: ,
tive just been married, over thar
sots the bride. Anybody who wants to
salute the bride kin now do so. Anybo
dy who don't want to, will have eau Sc
to believe that tree fell on him!"
One by one the men walked up and
kissed the widow until only one was
left. He was asleep. William reached
over and lifted him into a sitting posi-
ton at one movement and command
ed:
''Ar' We goin' to dust over thar an
kiss the bride ?"
"Blast your bride, and. you, tool!
growled the passenger.
William drew him over the back of
the seat, laid him down in the aisle,
tied his legs in knot, and was max
ing bundle of him just of size to go
through the window, when the man
caved and went over and saluted.
"Now, them" said William, and he
put on his coat, 'this bride tower will
be resumed. "-DetroH Free Press.

STARVING TO DEATH.

Thousands of men and women are
starving themselves to death. They
dare not eat or drink this or that, fear

terrible condition is Allan's Anti Fat.

I am happy to be able to say that have never
had to resort to 'sCzap Trap, CafeA-Penny"
false advertisements, such as selling out at New
York Cost cat less than cost for cash - "thous-
ands of dollars worth of Bankrupt Goods at
ruinous sacrifice - ''closing out to change bu-
siness," and other kindred advertisements, in
order to INDUCE THE PUBLIC TO PATRoNIzE MY
STORE. But ever since began business in this
City in October, 1869, have enjoyed liberal
share of patronage, for which am very thank
full to my friends and the public.
This is.the first time in my business history
that have offered to close out my stock. And
if you have any doubts about the genuineness
of my offer, call and see for yOurssE
Believing it good policy for merchant ev-
cry few years to clean up his stock, have con-
cluded, for the next ninety days, to offer such
inducements to CASH buyers as they have rarely,
if ever, met with in this City.
Goods Of all qualities are slo7OJ adoaneing in
Price, and by fall all grades of goods will per-
haps have advanced twenty-five per cent
Therefore, all who look to their interest, will
supply themselves with SHOES, BOOTS, CAS-
SIMERES and WINTER DRESS GOODS, at
this time, thus saving the large amount they
will have to pay if they put off purchasing until
Fall and Winter.

Doors from $500 to $500.
These Shoes and Boots are from the we'll

CIR AND F A III E r LICKSHINGLE'S
VIEW OF IT.-Grandfather Lickshingle
threw down the paper yesterday in dis
gust, and exclaimed:

makes me sick !"
"What makes you sick, grandfather?"
asked James.
"Why, here's another coachman runs
away with his employers daughter"
"It certainly is too bad" said James.
"And they get married the minute
they are out of sight Of her fathers
house."
1.-The poor, silly thing.n
"Well, should say 1.-THE poor, silly
thing! I should also say the sap-head,
the shallow pate, the crazy, crack-brain-
ed imbecile," continued grandfather, in
a towering rage.
1.-THE poor creatures are just from
boarding school," said James, with
their heads full of romantic"
who's just from boarding school ?"
yelled grandfather.
'The poor, silly girls are.''
"Whos tarkin' about girls ?n yelled
the old man, little more savagely than
before. tIt's the coachman Pm a. hit
TIM at. If had son, an he was a
good coachman, an he would disgrace
himself by runnin' away with his en-
ployer's giddy daughter, I'd spend my

wouldn't leave him one red cent to rub
against another. Now, you hear your

Laps at Pic-NicS.

The lap is unquestionably most use
full and admirable organ. When eX-
banded, the lap will admirably hold fiji
teen quarts of chesnuts, peaches, apples
or other desirable fruit, and there have
been women " bose laps would hold the
entire supply of hair-pins required for
their back hair--though, of course, laps
of these enormous dimensions are some
what rare. It is, however, at picnics
and tea parties that the splendid capa-
biIities of the female lap are especially
displayed. 1t is an easy matter for a
lady, while engaged on picnic,
to hold plate of salad, another of
picked oysters, a third ofice-cream, and
a fourth of cake, together with cup of
coffee, on her lap at one and the same
time. In feats of this kind the female
lap is unique. The young man who un-
dertakes to hold food on his knees inva-
riably comes to grief. The utmost he
can hope to do is to balance for brief
period, a plate of salad on the ridge of
one of his legs, from which it sooner or
later slips, with the most painful conse.
quences. AS for holding tea-cup or
coffee-cup on his knees, he recognizes
the utter impossibility of the thing
His only resource is to deposit it on the
floor, or on the grass close by his side,
after which he usually steps on it, or at
least kicks it over. This indicates in the
clearest possible manne that man is not
by nature a picnicking animal. With
out laps, picnics are dangerous to the in
tegrity of trousers and legs, and there is
no way IN which art can remedy the
masculine deficiency of lap. Let women
go to picnics if they choose. They can
do so without doing violence to their
clothing; but man is flying in the face
of nature when he undertakes to sit on
the grass and to manage six different
kinds of food. 1t is true that picnics
consisting of women alone would not be
popular. Young men are needed both
to eat the legs of chickens and to go a
mile and a half in the sun to bring water
for the lemonade.

Fatal ARRAY Between Ex.Silver.
ties.

The telegraph informs us that at
3 o'clock last Friday afternoon a
fatal stabbing ARRAY took place near
the junction of Pine and Broad
streets, Nevada City, CAL, in which
NJ L. Russell killed Robert McCue.
Both parties are miners and had
worked together several months ago,
at which time the trouble between
them commenced and which had
been brewing ever since. At the
time mentioned, while under the in
fluence of liquor, McCue assaulted
and knocked Russell down and
sprang on him, and while continuing
his blows Russell drew a knife and
stabbed McCue to the heart. McCue
expired in ten minutes. Russell i'm.
mediately surrendered himself to the
officers and was lodged in Jail.
McCue and Russell resided here for
some years. McCue boarded at the
Stone House for a long time, and
Russell was employed at the Buck
eye mine. Hon. g. G. Stevenson held
him in high esteem, and assisted him
In various ways. Both were quiet
men, but McCue (who was Cana
dian Orangeman) was apt to be ugly
when under the influence of liquor,
and any disrespectful allusion to
Orangeism in his hearing invariably
led to a fight. Russell is from Ohio,
but still looks upon Silver as his
home, and owns a house and lot
here.

WHEREAS, The native-born citizens
of America have ty their lack of
union, inertia and apathy, and not

inferiority, permitted monopoly of
all the leading industries to pass into
the hands of the monopolies which
employ aliens, many Of whom are
not far removed from poems; and
WHEREAS, The restless and indie
pendent spirit of Americans has
caused them to, at all times, desire to
better their condition, desire which
frequently causes them to make an
injudicious change of home; and
WHEREAS, They have selected this
locality in large mum bers, and whose
wants seem to be overlooked by those
who have the employment of labor,
and no monopolize the industries
of the country; and
WHEREAS, All labor being honor
able, and many Americans being
here idle, and willing to labor at any
kind of Legitimate work or employ
ment; therefore be it
Resolved, That we mutually band
ourselves together in an organization
to he known as the American Labor

shall be the protection Of American
labor and industry. helping the I'M

city between the hours of 8 in the
morning and 4 in the afternoon.
They are generally well loaded, both
ways, with the exception of the
Aurora and Bodie stage, which goes
crowded, but rarely brings back over
five passengers. This begins to look
like ante-railroad times, and it makes
the early settlers heart leap with joy.
