Two Polish women, one married
and the other siugle, were among the
Immigrants who arrived at New
York recently in European steamer.
At Castle Garden both were found to
be suffering from smallpox and were
sent to the hospital. On the way to
the hospital their tickets were changed
i'm sOmo manner and the married
woman was entered as the single one,
and vice versa. The husband OF the
former went to the hospital frequently
to inquire for his wife, and, although
she died soon after landing, The au-
thorities, supposing the other was the
married woman, gave encouraging re-
ports Of her condition. At last she
was pronounced cured and the hus-
band WAS sent to., and upon his
arrival the mistake was for the first
time discovered. OF course the hEs-
| band was discon4olate, but the
romance Of the thing may strike him
by and by and suggest to him that he
marry the woman who so singuIarly
| took the place of his wife.

story about an absent minded but de-
vout citizen Of that metropolis who
went to church last Sabbath carrying
over his arm what he supposed was
his new spring overcoat, but was hor-
rified when he got there and for the
first time observed that he was con-
spicuousIy transporting his new pair
Of spring pants, The package came
home from the tailor last Saturday
night, and the garments were hung
over the banisters in the front hall.
His wife hurried him SO that he was
''rattled," and, making a grab, he got
hold Of the wrong article. He crowd
ed them under the seat Of his pew and
whispering to the sexton when the
| service was over, made arrangements tO
call for them Monday morning.

MAKING HIS OWN BUTTER.
Experience OF a Man who Wouldn't Eat
OIeOmargarine.


A man who resides in the suburbs of
Oil City recently purchased some oleomargarine
He didn't know it until he had eaten it. That
made him mad. OF course it did People don't
like to eat butter and then find out it was oleo-

Well, he swore he would be deceived no more !;
no, never.
He would make his own butter.
He bought a cow.
He MIXED the COW.
That is to say, his wife did; but cs man and
wife are one, in reality he MIXED the COW.
In time cream rose on the milk.
ItTose in goodly quantities and was collected by
the wife.
On Saturday evening as the man was starting
out to spend the evening, the wife remarked:
You must come home early, so as TO get up in
the morning and churn the butter before going TO
church"
lie said he would.
He came home eaTiy-in the morning.
About two clock.
His wife remarked, distinctly
Now. sir, want yOu TO prepare"
Two paiT-hic-iro good"
That WAS sufficient.
She soon after rose.
He retired, without the Formally Of removing
his boots
She was mad
He was sleepy
Being mad she churncd the butter and put il
away, leaving the bu termilk in the churn.
Being sleepy, he did not hear her.
Before leaving for church she wiped the outside
of the churn concealed the butter and left the but
ternilk in the churn.
She also left note. telling him the churn was

At q quarter-past ten he looked again.

AT twenty minutes to eleven, pcrspiring freely,

The butter was not coming neither was his
wife
Bnt the brandy was forthcoming.
He drank heavily.
At quarter to twelve he stopped again and
made another examination.
Result was 10 warrant another drink.

TO BEAT THE BEST RECORD.
Rarus and Edwin FOrres. to Trot Against
Time-A Mile in 2:Os.

Mr.. Robert Bonner is confident that
his trotters, Rarus and Edwin Forrest, can beat
the best time on record a Sim reporter asked
Mr.. Bonner yesterday whether he proposed to
trOt these horses against time He replied:
"If I can get Rarus and Edwin Forrest into a
satisfactory condition l may give an exhibition
tTot in August / have not arranged details, but
either the Prospect Park or Hartford track will
probably be selected as / do not consider the
Fleetwood track fast enough. l think either
Edwin Forrest Rarus ought TO beat 2:10, and the
former driver of Rarus, Splanu, thinks he
can go in Dos. Both horses have trotted in 2:llIa
on three-quarter track which is considered by
sporting men better than 2:10M on mile track.
You see. on n three quarter track you go round
circle of twentytlIree acres, while mile track
You traverse a circle of forty-two acres It is easy
to understand that in the former case the turns are
much more abrupt than in the latter. No half
mile track can be as fast rs three-quarter track
nor any quarter track fast rs mile track
A week ago to-day drove Edwin Forrest to a top
wagon, $50 pounds, in 2.2214 and at present he is
in better shape than any other horse I've got l
have no doubt that both horses can beat the best
records"
Mr.. Bonner added that the rainy season had
greatly nterfcred with the exercising of his horses
on his track near Tarrytown. The track had been
ploughed up and MANFRED to make it elastic, so
that, spongelke, it absorbed the rain, instead Of
drying in day or two as ordinarily the case.
