A Worry Smart Girl.

Toledo has a smart girl. Her father and
mother were living pleasantly together, and
she suspected nothing wrong in their relations
till one day, on receiving bundle wrapped in
an obscure Indiana paper, she discovered an
advertisement of an application for divorce
signed with her fathers name. She promptly
started on visit to friend in indianapolis,
from which point she made an excursion into
the county in which the notice was published.
Here she found that her father bad been di-
vorccd. Coming straight home, she informed
him of her discovery, when the old man ="
confessed, said he was ashamed of himself, and
anxious to make it all right with her mother.
" You must not go to mamma yet" said the
girl a. do not want her to know the pain
full truth" Fortunately tho twenty fifth an
uiversary OF their marriage was close at hand,
and the girl arranged n silver wedding, to
which the minister who first married the cou'
pie was invited, and he pronounced the cere.
mony that made them again man and wife.
The mothers rival was present by tho very
urgent request Of tho daughter and whom 1t
WAS all over the latter took tho fair offender
into corner and whispered to her, papa and
mama arc married again as fast as the law
can make It. Whether the truth is ever
known depends on you. Papa will never tel
it, and l am sure l never shall. But it doei
seem to mo- dear, that somo other climate
would suit your constitution better than this

Miss Anthony, having engaged the hall and
speakers for Milwaukee for Thursday, stanch
TO her engagements and weary Of the dallying
strife and doubtful movements Of tho ropuDli.

Milwaukee. The oversight on the part Of the
woman's convention consisted in not appoint
ing an alternate for Miss Anthony. There
were at least three women present capable Of
speaking the woll-ohoson words Of truth
which would have been sufficient for the pur-
pose, but no one was the authorized speaker

SUPERINTENDENT WALLING, of tho Now
York police, has received a letter from some
one who describes himself MS "a Hungarian
nobleman, a cavalier, young, handsome, rich,
and without debts" asking the superintend-
ents services in securing an American girl for
a wife. The nobleman suggests that the SER
vices of marriage procurer" be also secured.
Describing tho kind of wife no wants, the
nobeman says she must be Fifteen and not
more than twenty years of age" she must not
be coquette, neither must she be Small nor
thin" she must be Every pretty" perfectly
healthy, and last, not least, she must have
several millions by way of fortune. Young
women of this description who want husband
of the sort this writer probably is, may find it
to their disadvantage to address Superntend-
ent Walling though he has already replied to
the nobleman that young women are not mar
red in that way in America.
