Nevada Nuptials.

Sam Chung and Annie Youck, says n
Nevada paper, were united last evening
in the holy bonds Of wedlock by his
honor Justice Nicholson. The ceremony
took place af the Justice 3 Office, and was
attended by number of Celestial friends
of the bride and groom, by Mr.. Jesse
Leach, and the reporter Of The Times
RcUieD. The bride was elegantly attircd
ia pair of blue gingham pantaloons,
cut flowing from the waistband down, n
josie Of the same material trimmed with
circus spanglcs, a pair of rocking chair
slippers, and n silver hairpin. The
groom's makeup differed but little from
the ordinary apparel of the average
Oriental gentleman, excepting that he
wore pair Of long-handlcd buckskin
gloves, and brace of india rubber
overshoes. Judge Nicholson was gor-
geously arrayed In n spotted nccktic,
and the reporter was dressed in calico
shirt, cut bias and pair of alligator skin
boots. His honor propoundcd the usu-
al questions in dignified and impress
i've manner, and they were responded 10
most solcmnly by the groom, when
prompted by the reporter, who acted in
the capacity of best man." The bride
Clipped in regularly at the appropriate
times, and in n few minutes the twain
were one flesh. His honor was the first
10 carom on the brides countenancc,
with his bill hitting her smack In the
mouth. The pencil shower, however,
made mislick and carried away tho
major portion of the india ink which
her sinister eyebrow. The
balance of the company waived their
osculatory privilege, and, after the groom
had tipped his honor the usual fee, and
treated the crowd 10 cigars, the Celestial
portion Of the bridal party bid their
Caucasian friends adicu, and disappeared
in the cleaning.

STAINING HIS LIFE.
A Chnracteristic Story sf . Di%sipnteS
Young Russian Noble.

| hOung RUSSIAN Noble.
From the Pail Mall Gazcttel
Among the subalterns who joined the
Slowatstartine Grcnadiers Just In time
to 60, through the Russo Turkish war,
and TO win medal, was young Alexis
karetkine, the son of q needy barine,
whose estate lies on the border of one
of the steppes of Kherson. He was by
birth a baron-one of six hundred or so
bearing the same name and family title
as himself-but he could claim only the
most distant connection, and, conse-
quently, had no favors at all to expect
from the princely Karetkines of St.
Petersburg, who, although poor in lands
and cattle, have always been rich in
court influence, Government posts, dia-
monds and money in the funds, and
who belong to the highest rank in the
Tschinn. These potent Karetkincs
would have disowned Alexis If he had
gone to st. Petersburg simply to pay
them his respects without begging for
money. They would in such a case
have invited him to- their parties,
and procured him invitations to
other, festivities. But in this
respect of having distant wealthy
connections, Alexis was not the
superior of all his brother SUBJ
alterns, most of whom owned unremun-
eratiye kinship with some great family
of namesakes. The Slowatstartines had
Colonel who was n Prince, profusely
decorated, and about thirty years old;
and a Lieutenant-C Colonel some three
years younger. Both these gentlemen
lived for the most part of their time in
st. Petersburg, but occasionally they
honored their regiment with visit, and
graciously accepted n banquet at the
tea-house; after which they would Join
in the gambling and fix the stakes high
enough to give themselves relish in
the games. On one of these gala nights
our friend Alexis, dressed in his best
uniform and excited by too much Ger
man wine, lost the whole of q quarters
pay he had just drawn, then his watch,
and after that pet LivouiaR wolf hound
of which he was very fond, and which
he had refused to sell TO the Colonel.
He had nothing more TO stake, and
stood with twitching lips at the card
table, almost ready TO cry, when the
Colonel said to him In jest
"Why don't you stake your life,
karetkincP" s-.f if.s .'.F
al will, }" said the Captain, hotly. al

"The odds are all in your favor" re-
sponded the Colonel, dryly. However,

"Well, now," said the rich Colonel,
as he laughingly paid the money, "what

out my brains," answered Alexis, ex-
citedly. ..... Aai.,..t...,- 49,.
"With whatp"

!" Yes, he has," interposed brother
officer, thinking himself called upon to
vouch for his comrades veracity; but
the Colonel remarked politely that he
quite believed the Captain. Nor was
he wrong, for Karctkine had sort of
honor, and would not have
scrupled to make his word good.

English Caste Distinctions.

The distinction between persons who
| are .in trade - and those who are not
is insisted upon with constant vigilance
This distinction is perpetuated and deep
| ened by the etiquette of the Court. Ii
| there are any American ladies who val
ne their privilege of going to Court (and
at the United States Legation it is be-
lieved that some such still remain), it
would be we'll for them to remember
this absolute law, when they accept the
| marriage proposals of British subjects.
knew of a case in which one of them
was married to wealthy British mer-
chant, and, going to England, lived very
| luxuiously; but as the wife of a British
subject in trade she could not go to
Court; while her unmarried sister, be-
| ing what Pepys would have called q She
citizen of the United States, was solemn
ly and triumphantly presented. This
distinction is carried to absurd ex-
ttremes by some persons, generally wom-
en-, who, although within the Court Cir
Gle, are of snebbish natures, and gener-
! ally of newborn gentility. 1t has been
told recently of an English lady, whose
married name is of most s'base and me-
chanicaf' origin, that, having had one
interview with governcss whom she
thought of engaging, and having been
| much pleased with her, she on the sec
ond interview informed her that she was
| sorry that she conld not engage her, as
she had discovered that she had lived in
a family the head of which was SIN
| trade Sir Bache Cunard. The
governess was the gamer by
this manifestation of vulgar
! pretense and fastidiousness, for
her services were soon afterwards en-
gagged by a Duchess. But in an aristo-
| cratic society, no less than in a BARRIERS
shop, line must be drawn somewhere :;
<and the England of to-day draws it
aftrade. Nor does the consciousness
of the consequent distinction, ever pres
| ent with those who are either above or
| below the line, imply arrogance on the
| one part or subservience on the other.
1t is recognized and insisted on by no
persons more than by domestic servants,
who, as l have remarked before, are
| great sticklers upon rank and prece-
dence. A lady who was of rank both
by birth and by marriage, and who was
the mistress of a great house, told me,
as she was kindly explaining to me some
Of the details of such an establishment,
that she had once seen a very nice look
ing young woman who offered herself
for service, and being much pleased
with her appearance had expressed a
il wish 70 the housekeeper that she should
be engaged. But after a quasi-com-
petitive examination of the candidate,
the bousekeeper reported and said,
"That girl is a nice girl, but she would
not suit me at all, my lady. She has
| only lived at rich merchants houses in
town, and at their little trumpery villas /;
and she knows nothing of the ways of
great houses" The lady yielded; for
in such matters a person of her rank
submits entirely to housekeeper and to
butler, who are held responsible, and to
whom all orders are generally given.-

A Farmer Who Sold Himself.

They tell a good story of Correc-
tionville farmer, who sold load of corn
at that town the other day. When IL
was weighed he slyly stepped on the
scales, and then drove off to unload.
When the wagon was weighed he took
good care not to be in IL, and congratu-
lated himself that he had played it on
the buyer in good shape. The grain
dealer called him in, and after figuring
up the load paid him in full. As he
buttoned up his coat to go out, the buyer
kindly asked him to smoke with him,
and then talked over the crops, and the
price of hogs, and the likelihood of the
Maple Valley Railroad building up that
way, till the farmer fairly squirmed in
his chair with uneasiness about his
chores at home. At last he could stand
it no longer, and said he must go. The
dealer quietly said that it was not TO be
thought Of, that he had bought the farm
er at full weight and paid him his own
price, and that he would insist on doing
as he pleased with his own property.
The raiser of corn saw that he had in
deed sold himself, in one sense at least.
He acknowledged the corn--as it were
and compromised the affair. Now
when he markets grain he don't stand
on the scales.-Siour CITY Journal.

So deeply inherent is ID in this life of
ours that men have to suffer for each
others sins, so inevitably diffusive is
human suffering, that even Justice
makes its victims, and We can conceive
no retribution that does not spread be-
yond its mark in pulsations of unmerited
pain.

DEATH was desired by alwoman nj
Greensboro, N. c., and she decided 10
accomplish it by drowning. Clasping
the pump log, she slid slowly down into
the well. The distance was as feet, and
before reaching the water she evidently
repented of her act. The imprint Of
her fingers and shoes shows that she
tried to stay her course; but the wood
was slippery, and she could not save
herself.

To Mrs. Langdon of New Hampshire,
whose husband was a member of Con-
gress, are the ladies indebted for per-
mission to listen to the debates and pro-
ceedings of that body. They had been
originally excluded from the galleries,
but when the famous Jay treaty was
brought. home, there were heated de-
bates in the House for and against its
ratification. One night at a party Mrs.
Langdon expressed her regret to Fisher
Ames of Massachusetts,, that she could
not hear the arguments, especially his
speeches. Mr.. Ames gallantly replied
that he knew of no reason why ladies
should not be permitted to hear the de-
bates. =" Then,r said Mrs. Langdon,
!" if you viii let me know when you next
intend to speak, will make up party
of ladies, and we will 60 and hear you. -
1t was done, and the galleries have al
ways since been graced by their presence.
