held in Rome in 1882, says a cablegran

the sojourn Of the Empress of Russia
abroad is not as beneficial to her health

AN appeal has reached London, says a

failure of the wheat and raisin crops.
Owing o poverty, only about tenth
part of the usual import of foo9 has

A Deceitful Bride of SeveBty.hVe.


A sprightly young Benedict Of 80
who, only four weeks before he poured
out the tale of his wrongs into the I'M
sympathetic ear of Russian police
magistrate, had welded blushing
bride of rs, appeared the other day in
one of the Odessa District Courts and
passionately invoked the Intervention of
the Cars justice in his domestic affairs
in rider that peace, harmony and order
might be restored to his distracted
household. His plant against his
youthful spouse contained several
counts, one more grievous than the 9TH
er. She would-giddy thing-run
about the streets all day, neglecting her
family duties. Her companion in these
frivolous excursions was a daughter, of
whose existence no intimation had been
conveyed to him during the happy pre-
nupital days Of his courtship and en-
gagement. This daughter had been adj
ruptly disclosed to him shortly after his
marriage, and had caused him to infer
that when he was taking to his arms q
virgin septuagenarian, he had labored
under an error brought about By skill
full deception. His wife, moreover had
refused to hand over to him the sum Of
400 rubles, which on the eve of their
wedding day she had bound herself by
solemn abjuration ID contribute next
morning to the family exchequer. Nor
could he induce her, by entreaty, men,
ace or endearment, to repay him a
trifiing loan of 40 rubles, imprudently
advanced to her for the purchase of her
trousseau. His griefs in short, were
more than he could bear, despite the
buoyancy of his youthful spirits; and
accordingly, he besought the police au-
thorities either to reduce his volatile
moiety to order by severe treatment, or
TO pronounce some merciful decreeby
which he should be ridded of her alto
gether. 1t is painful to reflect that the
hard-hearted magistrate contemptuous-
ly rejected his piteous appeal, with the
contumelious remark that "there is no
fool like an old fool"

Here is SermOa Enough for Sunday.
New Orleans Democrat

A little shoeblack called at the resi-
dence of clergy man of this city and
solicitated piece of bread and some
water. The servant was directed to
give the child bread from the crumb
basket, and as the little fellow was walk
ing slowly away and shifting the gift
between his fingers for a piece large
enough to chew, the minister called him
back and asked him if he had
ever learned to pray. On receiving a
a negative answer he directed him to
say, "Our Father" but he could not nm
derstand the familiarity.
us it our father-your father-Iny
father"
"Why, certainly"
The boy looked at him awhile and
commenced crying, at the same time
holding Hp mis- crust of bread, and ex-
claiming between bis sobs:
"You say that your father is my
father: aren't you ashamed to give your
little brother such stuff 10 eat when you
have got so many good things for your
self?'

FishinR Parties.

Itmight truly be said that all Wheel
ing is gone fishing, speaking with the
privileged latitude given such state
ments, or as the boys say "if you don't
care what you say" Now is the dull
season with everybody and everything
except fish and Thermometers. The
former are kept tolerably lively dodg-
ing the bats, and the latter are well up
in business. So every person who can
take holiday is away or going, and for
many there is no more regal way OF
spending couple of weeks than in
camping out and pretending to fish.
We made inquiry through one ward
alone Yesterday. the Eighth, and found
five clubs organized and ready for de-
parture. Their destinations have been
noted on the books Of the lemonade
boat" and she will make daily calls.

whom the club is named, left on the

Stealing Tomatoes.

South end of the Island, came to the
city building leading two little boys
whom he had detected stealing toma-
toes. They gave their names rs Eddie
Rider and Frank Carenbauer, the
former, ten years of age, living near
Weitzelrs grocery, and the latter,
aged seven, living. opposite the street
ear stables, both in the
Sixth ward. They cried bitterly and
said they were made to go by older
boys, and Carenbauer exhibited nickel
which he said was given him by prom
inent member of the Maynard Rifle
Club, practicing at the time, to get him
some tomatoes. He named and de-
scribed the person, and if this story is
true il is not very creditable to that in
dividual. The boys were very badly
scared, and after warming were allowed

The Twelfth Street Row.

On Monday evening shortly after $50
o'clock, the police were notified of a
disturbance on Twelfth street, near the
Baptist church. Several officers hur-
ried to the spot but found nothing
Transporting and left no wiser than
before. The secret Of the row did not
transpire until yesterday, when the fol-
lowing was uniOlded:
\ number Of young men were stand
ing near the spot named quietly talk
ing. Among them were two former
friends, one clerk, the other an ex-
clerk in a clothing store, the former
having succeeded the latter in the posi-
ton. During the conversation the old
sore was reopened and some blows were
struck, the ex-clerk having decidedly
the worst of the fray, being wounded by
a blow planted in the groin. The gath
ering of a crowd caused the cOmbatants
to disperse, so that nothing was heard
of it, Not serious after all.

Postal Suggestions.

Postmaster Sterling has issued a large
placard containing mail hours, classes,
etc, besides numerous suggestions to
the public. Among the latter, special
attention is called to the following:
Mail all letters, &c, as early as practi-
cable, especially when sent in large
numbers as is frequently the case with
newspapers and circulars. The trouble
of the postotfice is much diminished if
letters, when mailed in large numbers,
are tied in bundles with the addresses
all in one direction.
Make the address legible and COM
plete, giving postoffice, county and
State. The name of the street and num-
Der of house should be given when let
tiers are sent to cities where carriers are
employed; an omission OF this often
causes trouble and delay. In cases OF
foreign letters, the name of the country
should be given as well as the city.
And in important letters enclose your
own name and full address so as to Sc
cure a return to you il the person TO
whom it is directed cannot be found.
