Married More Than tle Expected.

A YOUNG medical student from
n Michigan, who had been attending
lectures in New York for some time,
and considered himself exceedingly good
looking and fascinating, made a deadly
onset on the heart and fortune of q
blooming young lady who was boarding
in the same house with him. After a
prolonged siege the lady surrendered.
They were married on Wednesday morn
ing. The same afternoon the "young
wife" sent for and exhibited to the
astonished student q beautiful little
daughter, three and q half years of
age.
"Good heavens then you were a
widow ~ exclaimed the astonished stu
dent.
"Yes, my dear, and this is Amelia,
my youngest; tomorrow, Augustus,
James and Reuben will arrive from the
country, and then shall have my chill
dren together once more"
The unhappy student replied not a
word his feelings were too deep for
utterance. The next day the other
'darlings" arrived. Reuben was six
years old, James nine, and Augustus, a
saucy boy, twelve. They were delighted
to hear that they had "new papa"
because they could now live at home
and have all the playthings they want
ed. The 'new papa" as soon as he
could speak remarked that Augustus
and James did not much resemble Reu-
ben and Amelia.
swell, no,'' said the happy mother,
"my first husband was quite different
style of man from my second-complex-
ion, temperament, color of hair and
eyes-all different.
This was too much. He had not only
married a widow, but was her third
husband, and the astounded step. father
of four children.
''But her fortune" thought he, "that
will make amends"
He spoke of her fortune.
These are my treasures" says she,
in the Roman matron style, pointing to
her children.
The conceit was now quite taken out
of the student, who, finding that he had

Back Woods Justice.


Out in the lumber regions of Wiscon-
sin recently, wood. chopper wanted to
have raftsman arrested for beating
him, but the backwoods justice of the
peace had no warrant blanks, one sub
pmna, and one summons blank. He
couldn't make these do for warrant, so
at last he said to the complainant, "See
here, mister, this court is bound to see
justice done in this township. You pay
me two dollars and half, costs of court,
show me the man, and the court will
lick the mischief out of him in two
minutes" Complainant paid the cost
and pointed out the accused, and the
magistrate went for him in short order,
fisticuff fashion, till he beloved for
mercy and the other fellow was satisfied.
The court then put on his coat and
remarked that che was a peace officer,
and wished it understood that this court
would preserve the peace, and any man
who thought he could raise thunder in
that neck of woods would have to try
the case with the court personally"
Peace has reigned in that neighborhood
since that code of law was established.

A Dutch Justice,

An old Dutch Justice of the Peace did
up marriage in this way:
He first said to the man "Vel, you
wants to be marrit, do you2 Vel, you
-lovsh this woman so goot as any one
you have ever seen ?''
Z" Yes," answered the man.
Then to the woman
90 Vel do you lovsh dis man 80 better
as any you have ever seen 2"
She hesitated little and he repeat
ed
"Vel, do you lovsh him so vel as to
be his wifeY'
Z" Yes, Yes," she answered.
"Vel, that is all any reasonable man
could expect. So you are msrriei;
pronounce you man and wife,
The man asked the Justice what was
to pay?
Nothing at all, nothing at all; you
are welcome, il it will DO you any
goot -

Whltewashed Babies.


A missionary stationed ut one of the
South Sea Islands determined TO give
his residence coat of whitewash. To
obtain this in the absence of lime, coral
was reduced to powder by burning.
The natives watched the process of
burning with interest, believing that
the coral was being cooked for them to
eat. Next morning they beheld the
missionary's cottage glittering in the
rising sun white as snow. They danced,
they sang, they screamed with joy.
The whole island was in commotion.
Whitewash became the rage. Happy
was the coquette who could enhance
her charms by daub of white wash.
Contentious arose. One party urged
their superior rank another obtained
possession of the brush, and valiantly
held it against all corners third tried
to upset the tub to obtain some of the
precious cosmetic. To quiet the hub
bub, more whitewash was made, and in
a week not hut, domestic utensil, q
war-club,o or garment but was as white
as snow; not an inhabitant but had
skin painted with grotesque figures !;
not pig that was not whitened, and
even mothers might be seen in every
direction capering joyously, and yell
ing with delight at the superior beauty
of their whitewashed babies.

little effect. The Bomb Brig Terror
took her station In the line nearest the
town, and made the nighl light as day
with the blaze of rockets, while her shot
and shell Missed like maddened vipers
through the air, the floating batteries
and lire Of battle ships making every
thing tremble with their thunder, ex-
cept the hearts of those Yankee boys
who manned the guns on shore. They,
behind breast-works hastily thrown up,
headed by this same Capt. Sim, assisted
by Captains Dean and Denison, with
hosts of other brave fellows worked at
their guns on those hot days like black
smiths at their forges, firing with such
perclsion and taking such deadly aim
that hundreds were killed and wounded
on board the enemy's fleet, while the
Bomb Brig Terror was made a perfect
wreck, so much so, when ordered by the
Commodore to retreat, she dare not take
time to weigh her anchor, but slipped
her cable and floated of with the tide,
amid the shouts and cheers of the war
like hosts on shore.
All the ships in the line getting the
worst oft, general retreat was ordered.
With shot holes plugged up and pumps
working, the monster ships moved
slowly and sluggishly off, like wound
ed lion to his lair They again dropped
their anchors under the dark shadows
Of the Island, where
A few short prayers were said,
O'er proud st. Georges head,
and the sea received their mangled
corpses, to be swallowed up by the
sharks of the ocean. The surgeons were
busy with saw and knife among the
wounded, and the sailors were repairing
the shattered ships, while the brave
Commodore cursed himself and the way
he had revenged himself on those in
fernal tricky Yankees"

chairs. In the stable Captain Holmes
found some jugs Of silver money. The
chimney was not left unsearched, aud
well repaid the trouble; for In nineteen
different holes, all filed with SCOT, were
found various sums of money, amount
ing to more than two hundred pounds.
And to finish up with, six hundred
pounds In bank-notes were found In an
old teapot. Thus living wretchedly,
and dying without one vestige of com
fort, Daniel Dancer and his miserly
sister furnish to all future generations
an illustration of the extreme Of penuri-
business.
An extraordinary character lived
some twenty years ago In small Scotch
town on the Firth of Froth. His name
was Joe Taylor. He occupied misera-
BILE hovel, and wandered abroad over the
country buying rags, old bones, ETC.,
bundles of which were carried by poor
starved ass, the sole living creature be.
longing to him. The only food he al
lowed this wretched quadruped was the
grass that grew at the side of the roads
in their many wanderings, or a bundle
of forage distracted from some farm
place. Taylor's food consisted of what
ever he could beg, borrow or steal-a
few turnips lifted from the fields, some
mussels or other shell-fsh laboriously
gathered on the shore, broken victuals
from the houses of the rich, old cabbage
stalks-anything, in short, that would
stop the cravings of q natural healthy
appetite. Living near the shore, Joe
made point of watching for wreckage
of any sort, and it was happy day for
him when any floating cargo made its
appearance on the beach. One day great
excitement prevailed among the fisher
people. The surface of the waves was
covered to considerable distance with
| quantities of apples probably part Of
some wreck. The Inhabitants plunged
into the sea, securing as many as they
could, but were outdone by Joe, who
with greedy eagerness managed to clutch
peck or two, which he sold next day
in the town. After his death, which
was hastened by a violent cold caught
in an unusually long ramble, his hut
was searched, and in various holes and
corners money TO considerable amount
was found-not less than eighty pounds
in all. In a corner of the hovel, under
stone of the uneven and broken floor,
were found no fewer than three dozen
silver spoons, of all sorts and sizes, dis
colored with damp, and marked with
various initials. 1t was thought that
Joe, in the course of his many years
depredations, must have carried off a
stray spoon every now and then, and
so accumulated these, of which he never
made any use, and which he was proba-
bly, afraid to sell. II was quite possible
that in Joe's visits to the kitchens of the
neighborhood he might have helped
himself to what was lying about, while
the cook brought her dish of broken
scraps from some back kitchen or cup.
board. Hence the mystery of the
spoons.

An eIsphantIne Pea Nut Trade.

a sensation was created during
the stay of Forepaugh's show in Pitts
burgh recently by one Of the elephants
descending upon peanut merchant,
whose place of business is near the Sus-
pension bridge. The Roman protested
vigorously, and entered into hand to
trunk combat with the elephant, but
muscle won and the elephant bore Off
bag of peanuts in triumph. The man
gathered himself up and returned to the
combat with such vlgor that the un-
wieldly beast had to drop the bag and
defend himself. There was nothing
