There was triple wedding IN Jest in
Laveta, Colorado, a week or two since.
The parties were F. D. Nc Holland,
Deputy Sheriff of Huerfano county: E. A
Palmer, agent of the Denver and Rio
Grande railroad, and another gentleman
whose name was not printed, but he is a
sawyer and has big sawmill somewhere.
The young ladies were Kate Lewis, Addie
Patterson and Laura Paterson of Laveta.
The gentlemen were visiting the ladies and
running out of small talk one of them pro-
posed to the three giddy girls to have mar
riage ceremonies-ln fun, of course. They
thought it would be splendid, and paired
off accordingly. A messenger was sent for
a third party to help carry out the jolly
game-snd all went merry till he came.
He was W. \, TofTelmire, very innocent
looking man in appearance. He was told
what was wanted, and nothing 10th, he
ofiiciated at that family alter When the
ceremonies were over one of the girls sad
it was tie jolliest joke she ever saw played.
Joke, said Totfelmire, ITS no joke. I'm
a Justice of the Peace, and you're all fast
marriedr' Then there was chorus Of
screams and faints. The girls had never
dreamed of getting married in earnest. The
gentle men, it appears, did, and they played
it finely. They had hoodwinked the girls
with merriment. What was to be done.
The first thing to do was to get the gentle
men of the party out of that house and
they went without further ceremony than
pressing invitation 20 leave given by the
old folks who lived there and did, ut know
what was going .on in the parlor- The
three men went 10 their respective homes
crestfallen. 1t was not half as funny as
they anticipated, for they imagined the
girls would give in when they found out
how they had been married by stealth
Divorce is the only remedy that can be ap-
piled unless they finally conclude to stick,
and one at least ought to stick out of three.
One of the girls is said to be engaged to a
young man who is digging a pile OF gold
for her at San Juan, and the affair is u
little bit rough on her and her betrothed
miner. The others might make a virtue
of necessity and carry out the joke.

A Clever Trick.

The Japan Mail describes clever trick
which was being exhibited by native Jug
gler at Joshida bashi- The performance
takes place in a small room about twenty
SIX feet long and twelve feet vide, half be-
ing allotted to spectators, who are admit
ted on payment of the moderate fee OF two
cents. The properties" consist of deal
table and sword, etc. After the usual
soul-stirring flourish on drum and a sam
lsen, a man and woman appear from behind
a screen, the man binds the woman head
in a cloth, and she then kneels down close
to the table, and sideways to the spectators.
The man then draws the sword, makes a
vislent blow at the woman's head, she falls
forward, arms extended and limbs twitch-
ing. He then having first wiped the sword
on gory-looking piece Of rag takes up,
/ apparently the wnman'S head, wrapped
in the cloth, and places 1t on the table. To
all appearance it is a human head, the eye
/ lids and features have a ccnvulsed motion;
presently the eyes open in dreamy sort of
way, and to the accompaniment of the ever
/ lasting samisen, the head sings a mournful
song. A curtain is iDterpoSed between the
audience and the performers, and when
again drawn back the woman is disclosed
quietly seated alongside the man. When it
is recolected that this all takes place with
in about three feet from the spectator, and
that the properties are of the simplest
description, some idea may be formed Of
the wonderful excellence Of the performance
which has excited attention.
