A Bridegroom Changes His Mind.
London World.l

One of the most sensational actions for
breach of promise Of marriage that ever
startled society will shortly come before
the courts. The defendant is a young
Guardsman, the head Of q rich county
family, who, after two years engage
ment, allowed the preparations for hin
marriage to 60 50 far that, besides insist
ing upon the selection of his fiancosfu
wedding-dress, he ordered the wedding
cards, purchased the ring and travelling
trunks with his own initials ON thoss
of the LADY,, arranged with the coach
maker for the alteration of ths
lady's monogram to his own on her two
carriages, invited a country vicar to coma
to London to marry him, and last, nos
least, read over the settlements to his af-
fanced wife the night before he left
town to visit his family, only four days
before the intended ceremony at St
Georges, Hanover Square. Since tho
night in question the lady has never set
eyes on the man who signed himself
"your loving husband" for many months
previously; and in addition to long
correspondence that will be made public,
the exposure of family undercurrent
which is supposed to have Influenced the
bridegroom-elect in his heartless con-
duct, will not rebound to the credit Of
all concerned in the accomplishment Of
their object. t.r.

siderable sum, but II could. be increased very
largely If an officer would be appointed to collect
such licenses 1t is not the province Of policemen
to do so.
OUR MARKErs
The market-houses which we now have are moi
an ornament to the city. nor sufficiently commo-
dious for the transaction of the business there
carried on. In this respect other cities,
much smaller and less wealthy, have far
surpassed us. In this respect would re-
commend that new houses be built on DIFF
ferent plan. The money required for the con.
struction of such houses might well be obtained
from licenses upon articles from which no rev
enus is now obtained.
OBITUARY.
During the year the citizens Of Cincinnati
mourned the death of two worthy men. both OF
whom filed the highest executive Office in the
gift of the people of Cincinnati.
During their terms they served the public with
credit to themselves as well as 10 their c0nStltu
ens. Requiescati in pace
IN CONCLUSION.
At the close Of the first year Of my official term
1t Is incumbent upon me to return my thanks tf
the officials % well as citizens for the kindness
with which they have treated me and the assist
ance rendered me- deem it proper to embract
the occasion to bear testimony to the efficiency
and faithfulness of the heads Of the various de
partments and their assistants; and to express the
hope that the revival of our industries may con
tinus and restore us to that solid prosperity which

The BraZilians are very proud Of their
two monitors, the Javary and the Soli-
NOES. On the I'd inst. it was proposed
to put the latter through the manual of
arms, as it were, to see if it was all in
order to 60 down the coast few miles TO
Ilha Grande for artillery practice. Steam
was got up at 10 o'clock under direction
of one of the officers, and after ali hour
and a half spent in trying to do some
thing or to 60 somewhere, they wero
obliged to put out the fires in order to
see what the trouble was and why tho
machinery refused to work. Naturally
enough the engine-room became rather
warm, and this the first machinist could
not endure, so he rushed on deck and
tainted. ..
It is said that 1t has been more than q
year since this monitor was moved, and
that the machlnists are all new, never
having had any experience In hsndli1x
the kind of machinery now in their
charge. On the following day another
effort was made to set the machinery In
motion and move the monitor. They
succeeded in starting the engine, and
heaved ahead all right. But the vessel
refused to obey the helm, and as it waa
going straight into small iron-clad, tho
Grao Para, that lay near, the excite.
ment that reigned on board may be inn
agined, especially when we learn that no
one knew what to do. A number of row
boats were on hand by orders, what for
we are not informed-possibly to pick
up the dead bodies after the anticipated
explosion.
At the last moment these boats wers
about to be used to tow the Grao Para
out of the road, when, by one Of thoss
flashes of genius that rarely bless the
sons Of men, it occurred to some one on
board to reverse the engines. 1t was
done, and the Grao Para was savedi
Imagine this huge monster Of destruo-
tion, escaped from the control of man
and charging wildly about our quist
bay, running down vessels, sinking is-
lands, and clearing things out generallyi
But all this we have escaped, thanks to
that gigantic intellect. We hope the
Government will hasten to bestow upon
this person some of those houors which
she has latterly been scattering about
herself with such an open hand.

It was long since settled that the
American girl is the prettiest, wittiest
and hghtest-footed of her sex the world
over. A Cleveland young lady has
done much to establish the additional
claim Of swiftest-footed. She was re-
turning home after a shopping tour,
and (the only suspicious feature of the
story still retained over $40 in her purse,
which she carried in her hand and which
q thief grabbed. The young lady struck
out after the fleeing rascal, and No. 2
boots never sawed the air more rapidly.
She shrieked as she ran, and 80 fright
ened the thief that he dropped the purse
and thought only for his safety. But
the young lady had got her second
wind" as the athletes say, and after Sc
curing the purse stepped out" livelier
than before for the thief, who was finally
headed off and captured by citizen.
