How Mark Twain was Swindled.

Mr.. Redpath tells the following sto-
ny of Mark Twain:
think it was Marks second year of
lecturing in the East. He told me one
day that he was going to get married,
and he wanted me to go with him to
buy what you would have called u
"trousseau" if you had been woman.
lie bought enough for a century or
two hc comes from long-livcd race,
and he had an eye to the future. lie
was not worth more than 100000 or
$4,000 at the time, | guess. lie has
made since over 100000 by his book
and lectures and interests in insurance
companies at Hartford, where he lives.
lie went and got married at Elmira,
where his fathcr-in-law lived. The
latter was a millionaire, one Of the
coal-mining lords. Mark had asked
his friends in the editorial office to Sc
loct u first-class suite of rooms in
fashionable clearinghouse, aud to
have a carriage ready to take his bride
and himself there when they came to
Buffalo. He knew they would do It,
and gave himself no more anxiety
about it. When he reached Buffalo
he found the boys, sure enough, at the
depot with the finest carriage and
span of horses he had ever seen in that
city. They drove him up to hand
some house in an aristocratic street,
and as the door was opened, there
were the parents of the bride to well
come him homes AS the story was
told mel didn't get it from Mark
the brides folks had come up, without
his knowledge, by a special train.
Mark went from room to room, and
found every room furnished exquisite
ly-some in blue and some in yellow
silks-the furniture and upholstery Of
the most luxurious and expensive
STYLES. Then he was informed "Oilic-
ially' that he had been driven up by
his own coachman in his own carriage
