How Mark Twain Was Swindled.

day that he was going to get married,
and he wanted me to go with him to
buv what YOU would have called a
.'trousseau" if you had been a woman.
He bought enough for a century or
two: he comes from a long lived race
and he had an eye to the future. He
was not worth more than $4,000 or 20,

Ia ttel was a millionaire, one of the
coal-mining lords. Mark had asked
his friends in the editorial office to Sc
lect him a first class SUIT OF rooms IN
a fashionable boarding house and to
have a carriage ready TO take his bride
and himself there when they came to
Buffalo. He knew they would do 1t.
aud gave himself no more anxiety
about it. When he reached Buffalo he
found the boys, sure enough, at the de-
pot with the finest carriage and span
of horses he had eyer seen in that city.
They drove him up to a handsome
house in an arlstocratic part of the
CITY. and as the door was opened. there
we've the parents of the bride to well

brides folks had come up, without his
knowledge, by a special tram. Mark
went from room to room, and found ev-
ery room furnished exquisitsly-some
in blue some IN yellow silks-the fur

urious and expensive styles. Then he
was informed "~oflcially" that he had
been driven up by his W ceachman
in his own carriage to his house.

although his wonderful bright eyes

The white pine Vacancy.

BY the death Of the incumbent. Mr.. B.
X. Davis, a vacancy has occurred in the
Office Of District Attorney in White Pine
county. The Commissioners of that coun-
ty will be called upon to fill the vacancy.
1t so happens that the Commissioners are
al Republicans, while there is moi a Re-
publican attorney in that county. In fact.
Republicans who understand the Consti-
tuition and laws are growing remarkably
scarce all over the country. II it should
transpire that White Pines Commissioners
are too strictly partisan to appoint Mr..
Horace Beene, or some other sound Demo-
cratic lawyer Of their ~own'county, they will
probably turn their attention TO Eureka for
q Republican who can fill the bill. In this
event we may be permitted to mention the
name OF Mr.. George r. Almond. George
is a man well known to our citizens as be-
ing fully competens aud well versed in the
criminal practice, and we have no doubt
that the people Of White Pine would find
him u competent officer. Dur first choice
is Beene, but failing this, give us Almond.

concluded to suppress his name for the
