Another TomThumb wedding is to
come off here in few days. 1t has
been arranged that "the midgets" are to
be married. Lucie Iarate the prospec-
tive bride is Is years old, and weighs a
triile less than five pounds. Her face is
bright but not proposing. Gen. Mite,
whose real name is Franis j. Flynn,
weighs nine pounds, and is Is years old.
His face is bright and intelligent, and
his conversation does not belle it. The
marriage is one Of convenience as well
as supposed affection. The dwarls, be-
longing to different families, are liable
to be separated at any moment, and 1t
is thought best, therefore, to bind them
by ties that cannot be broken by show
managers and disagreeing parents. The
bride is to wear white satin dress
studded with seed pearls. The bride
groom is to wear his full dress suit.
Miss Zlrate belongs to the Episcopal
church, while Gen. Mites family are
Roman Catholics, and it was on the
question of religion that the families
differed. The difference was finally set

and fell asleep, while his comrades
marched forward and left him.
While his friends were selling their
lives in defence Of their homes, wives
and children their al, he was snugly
sleeping BY the side Of the road, q
mile from the scene Of strife. The
stupor had worn off, however, and
as Butler came up he was rubbing
his eyes to endeavor to clear up the
mist which enshrouded his faculties.
Perceiving at a glance the state of
the case, Col. Butler, as he passed
the spot, leaned forward and shouted
to the man to kill the Indian. With
a GOODNESS which would have won
him laurels in the battle, the inebri-
ate, resting his elbow on the trunk
of the fallen tree, took deliberate
aim at the breast Of the pursuer, and
a moment after he rolled in the dust
dead. Then, as if he had just dis.
covered the relative position of af-
fair, he took to his heels, and pushed
onward at his utmost speed after
the colonel.
When the fort was invested by
the enemy few days afterwards,
and Butler found it untenable. he
managed to escape therefrom, and
started for the army to bring relief
to the garrison.

How He Got Back His Presents.

A London dressmaker recently had
her lover arrested for taking from her
certain presents which ne had made to
her. She stated in court that she had
been engaged to the prisoner for sever
al months, and on the previous Satur-
day evening had met him by appoint
ment. He took her into jewelers.
shop, saying he would buy her chain,
and selected one for e5 15s. He asked
her to see how it would look. on her
watch, and she detached the latter from
her own chain, and he tried it on the
new one. He afterward put the watch
in his pocket, and the chain on the
counter. Then he asked to see some
wedding-rings, and at his request she
took gold keeper from her finger, and
tried on three or four wedding rings,
one Of which fitted her. Remarking
that it looked very nice on her finger,
he put the keeper in his pocket, and
purchased q pin for himself for IS Cd,
saying that would satisfy the jeweler
for his trouble. The dressmaker asked
the prisoner for the watch and keeper,
but he refused to give them to her, re-
marking that they were his property,
and taking her into the jewelers. as he
had done was the only means he had
Of getting them. She gave him into
custody. She did not know whether
she could call herself engaged to the
prisoner still. He had given her the
watch and the ring, but had never
asked for them back. She had q little
quarrel with him q month previously,
but that was made up. The Magis-
trate observed that he did not think
any jury would convict the prisoner Of
stealing the things, and therefore the
man must be discharged. The dress
maker left the court, remarking that
