Tramps As Husbands.
EXPERIENCE OF WIDOWS WHO HAVE

EXPERIENCE OF WIDOWS WHO HAVE
MARRIED WANDERING vAGABoNDs.
Within few months and within q ra-
dius of nine miles from Westfeld three or
four widows comfortably we'll off have
married chaps that came tramping along.
One of these husbands is now in jail for
threatening the lives of his wife and moth
er-in-law. His favorite form of amuse-
ment was to place the women folks In
chairs side by side, and, after pOking loa-
ded gun into their faces, to fire it off at
target just above their heads. Five weeks
ago respectable ard well-connected Wo-
man in this town, whose husband died less
than two years ago, leaving her nice ILL.,
tie home and $4,000 in cash, fell in love
with young tramp who came to her door,
and though 20 years his senior she married
him. Since then her honse has been a rem
devious for nearly all the tramps who
come along and apparently the good news
is being widely spread among the fraterni-
ty. A few days ago the woman appeared
with abadly-bruised face and damaged eyes
and her friends had her tramp husband ar
rested for the assault. The trial was most
ludicrous affair, for while the wife admit
ted that Johnnie" not only was the cause
of her disagreement but had soundly
thrashed her at least twice a week during
their brief honeymoon, she declared that
she loved him dearly and that he only whip
ped ner when he was mad because she
wouldn't at first asking give him money
Or buy him a horse and carriage. The
man said he didn't think he bad thrashed
his wife above once week and that he
loved her dearly. Upon this followed a
very dramatic scene, the woman rushing
into her husbands arms and mingling
her tears and kisses with his ditto and
both fell on their knees before
Judge Lewis to beg his mercy
Judge Lewis told them: 81 want no such
nonsense here" and fined the man $5,8
which the woman paid, and few minutes
later they were seen lovingly riding to-
ward their peaceful home.

Delmonico's Dinners.

ONE THAT COST $40, 900, OR $500 PLATE.
From the New York Times.
The most expensive dinner ever given at
the crumbled shrine Of entertainment was
the dinner given by Sir Morton Peto to a
hundred merchants, with sprinkling of
journalists, about the close of the civil war.
He was regarded as immensely wealthy;
he had vast interests in railways and vari-
GUS public improvements; was an exemplar
of orthodoxy, attended any number of
churches. prayed long and loud, contribu-
ted handsomely to benevolent societies,
was favorite of evangelical clergymen.
and was fulsomely eulogized as the model
Christian merchant After he returned
to England he was arraigned for fraudu-
lent transaction on an enormous scale, and
although he escaped prison by certain le-
gal technicalitieS. he was condemned in
public opinion, and forever ruined in re-
putation. Sir Morton's piety was doubt
less studied hypocrisy, practiced for the
purpose of more readily carrying out his dis
HONEST schemes, and perhaps of eliciting
sympathy when he should be found out.
DESTINATIONS expenditure was one Of the
methods be adopted to gain favor in this
country. and he WAS never more Ostenta-
tious than in bis order to Delmonico who
was enioined to exercise his ingenuity in
making everything the very best that mon
ey would buy. Consequently the dinner
was marvel of skill and art and extrav-
agance. The saloon was smothered in the
rsrest flowers; the menu was in gilt or en-
hroidered satin; some of the wine cost $25
a bottle; eieverest musicians were engaged
at fancy prices; Clara Louise kellogg had
ST 900 for two songs, and a prassnt besides
of diamond bracelet. In all PROBABILITY
such dinner has never been served III the
republic: it would have delighted Sover
and Ffancateli and had the ancient Greek
Philoxenus. been there he would have a.
gain wished for the neck of g crane. that
he might longer enjoy the passags OF 60
many dainties down his greedy throat.
The total cost was ABOUT $20,Ooo or 500
for each person present.
: Among tie guests was James Gordon
Bennet, the elder. who very rarely accept
ed invitations. and whose pergon was SO
unfamiliar, despite his universally known
name, that very few persons recognized
him. It was, we think, his last appear
ance in public; and then he was ill at ease,
greatly bored, and withdrew as early as
decent courtesy would allow.

DIR. CARvER's MOST WONDERFUL
rEAT.-Dr. S. w. Carver, the American
marksman, is surprising the crack shots
in England with his feats with the rifle.
At recent exhibition he broke SO out of
100 glass balls with Winchester rifle, in
spite of high wind and driving snow. He
then broke so glass balls in m. SIS. Plac-
ing ten glass balls on the ground, he fired
bullet into the turf Immediately beneath
the glass balls; the missile tearing up the
soil, threw the balls into the air, and they
were broken as they arose. The Doctors
greatest feat was performed for wager of
el00, in which the American wagered that
he would hit an apple held upon the end f
a penknife, by his colored attendant rid
ing on horseback at full gallop, at dis.
lance of thirty yards. A large apple was
procured and stuck on the end of a prun-
ing knife, The jockey mounted horse
and held the target with bis left hand as
far as possible behind his body. The start
was made about 100 yards away, and when
fhe rider came within range. riding at a
furious gallop, the Doctor fired. The first
attempt was failure, and the odds of elO
to 81 were bet against Carver. The second
time he struck the apple, knocking it into
half dozen pieces. He won neatly e400,
and his hackers reaped fine harvest.

HIGHLAND EMs.-The Highland IRE
corder" of Friday furnishes the following
items:
The Debt Standardization. Harmon Hi
ner, member of the last House, is out in
an able letter to the people urging the
value of the recent settlement of the debt
question. About submitting the bill to
the people he says:
The history Of the State does not furnish
an example of the submission of general
law to the people for it's ratification, and
there is the most abundant authority to
the point that any act. of the legislature
that depended for its validity as law upon
the VI tie Of the people, would be uhconsti-
and tired of the agitation of this whole
subject, and wished the legislature, which
they elected for the purpose, to decide it
finally and forever. The idea of submit
ting financial question, and the rights of
our people, to the votes Of $4,000 negroes,
principally in East Virginia, is preposter-
Gus and absurd. The men who proposed
thus to submit the law to the people knew
that it was not right so TO do. but they
wanted chance OF agitating the question
still farther, and take their chances to run
into office upon 1t. Every negro IN the
House of Delegates voted to submit the
bill to the people. Their reasons were OBJ
vous.
The maple sugar camps will soon be bro
ken up, the sugar season, which has not
been good one, being about over.
Bid on Land.-A portion of the Sterrett
former Sitlington) farm, was put up at
auction Monday but withdrawn at $35 per
acre.
Personal Miss Mamie Henderson of
Augusta, assistant at the Oakland High
School, will remain another session. A
daughter of Mr.. David Rexrode was

broken. Hattie, little daughter of Mr..
Jacob N. Hull, had her left hand almost
severed from her arm Friday by an acct
dental blow from an axe in the hands of

A HUMAN SKELETON INSIDE A HORSE.
"A miner ia the Black Hills, writing to
a friend, tells of horrible reminder of the
fearful snow storms, last winter, and Of
the perlls of those who were caught out
and lost their way on the plain. He says
that recently, while he and two others
were crossing the country they came upon
the skeleton ola horse, with agrinning skull
looking out at them between the ribs of
ths animal, like prisoner peerilg through
the bars Of his cell. The two skeletons
told the whole story. The man had kill
ed his horse, cut aim open, and crawled in
side of him, thinking thus to escape perish
ing of cold, but the flesh of the animal
froze solid, and the man was az MUCH OF a
prisoner as if he had been shut in by a wall
of iron. Tbs wolves and carrion birds had
stripped the greater part Of the flesh from
both skeletons. The miner concludes his
description by saying: 1t was Q sight l
