Romance In Real Life,

Many years ago corporal in a bat
terry of artillery located at Bangalore
married an East Indian girl, whose
parents and relatives resided here, but
being sent home, his young wife &C.
companied him. Shortly after his ar
rival in England he deserted, and a
body being found floating in the
Thames, was identified as the ]evant-
ing corporal and buried. His wife, be-
lievlng her husband to be dead, having
indeed identified the corpse, married
another husband; he died, she married
again; the third husband died, and she
is now living with store sergeant in
the ordnance lines, Madras. Shortly
after the arrival of the wing of the
Thirteenth regiment in Bangalore, a
sergeant happened to espy photo
graph of the man who was supposed to
have died and been buried many years
ago. He at once said he knew him,
and OH being told he could not as he
had been dead many years. he replied
that the Identical individual was at that
moment in Bellary, and was paymas-
ter's clerk in the Thirteenth regiment.
On this statement the photograph was
sent from one man to another; all iden-
tilted it as teing the likeness of the real
Simon Pure, and as last step it was
forwarded to the adjutant, who also
agreed that it was the paynaster's
clerk. Ample evidence having been
produced, the paymaster's clerk is now
a prisoner at Bellary, having given him-
self up as deserter.

THE Giant Powder works in the dis
trict of Bernithy, across the bay from
San Francisco exploded on the 10Th inst,
killing 12 whites and 10 or Is Cinnamon.
This is the third explosion the company
has sustained-all attended with loss of
life. The explosion occurred in the
packing room, and all at work there were
killed. There were about 5000 pounds
of powder in the room. All the victims
were blown to atoms. Large pieces of
them were found, and part Of the skull of
a Chinaman There were six houses in
side the works, and all were blown to
slivers, but the workmen in them es-
capped, with the exception of one man in
the magazine, no trace of whom was
found. Outside Of the works are six
houses, including the boarding houses
OF the hands; all were more or less dam
aged. The entire cause of the explosion
is supposed to be carelessness. The
workmen are employed by tine piece,
and are directed to use wooded millets in
packing cartridges, but they found that
they could work faster and make more
money by using iron hammers-a risky
business around giant powder. 1t is
supposed that some man hit once too
many and his cartridge went off, igniting
the powder before him, which com
municated with the adjacent packages,
with the terrible result noted.

At q convival gathering after the

he thought I was going mad, and never

gedy of the situation he fell into the
comedy of the deputy Sheriff of Jar

Turning Down Glasses.
louisville Courier-Journal.

This is not an unusual.custom at din
ner parties in this city. Senators Max
ey, of Texas, Cockrell, of Missouri, Cam
eron, of Pennsylvania, and other public
men VINO desire that their heads should
be clear at all times, have followed the
example set by the president and his
wife at all social entertainments. The
president when he first came to Wash
ington would take glass Of wine when
away from home. The fault finders,
always carp at something, sneeringly
remarked that inasmuch as wine was
banished at the white house, it would
be more consistent for Mr.. Hayes not
to taste the forbidden beverage when
furnished elsewhere. This determined
Mr.. Hayes to practice the principles
laid down by his consistent wife away
from home as well as at the domestic
hoard. People have ceased to ridicule
Mrs. Hayes temperance principles for
the atmosphere of the white house is
far purer than it has been for many
long years.

An April Fool.

One of our respected citizens is the
happy father of six girls, all bright and
sensible, and full of fun. To an init.
mate lady friend of these sisters one of
our rising young bachelors was intro
duced at an evening party early last
week, and circumstances gave him
the pleasure of escorting her home.
The new acquaintance ripened quickly
in the dark and showery spring night,
and when the swain had left his charge,
as he thought, at the paternal gate, he
had her promise to 20 riding with him
on Thursday. It seems, however, that
the mischeivous young lady had not
only secured an introduction to young
Verdant under the assumed name Of
the six artless sisters, but had bid him
good night at their very gate. On
Thursday afternoon. therefore, the
happy youth secured rich turnout
and called fo1 his promised companion.
"Mifs-is at home, suppose" was the
inquiry. (Which one?" asked the lady at
the door. This was poser. The caller
learned that there were six of she"
and in the parlor one by one the sisters
were paraded before him. In none of
them could he recognise the lady who
had promised to ride with him, and the
unsuspecting maidens thought the
young man crazy, while he drove back
to the stable to pay for his 1st Of April
experience.
