Meet aud Kiss Each Other.

On Friday last, at Mathis Springs,
it may be truly said that Choty, Mar
tintown and Slippers Georgia met
and kissed each ssother. They
ate together. ard drank together,
and chatted together, and danced
together, and gave bands IL a
grand right and left" Of social
fellowship And they admitted "the
Village into close communion, even
adding, in this ,cgard, the hospitable
rite OF sleeping together. Yes, when
we remember that memorable and
joyful night at DR.. w L. Prescott $
we can safely say that Choty and the
Village slept together.

Sidi Murley Hassan, the Sultan of
Morocco, has set a touching example
of retrenchmeut to his subjects.
Having completely drained the imperial
treasury during his energetic efforts to
suppress the rebellion that ragged
throughout his dominions last summer,
he has just cut down the state expenses
by some sweeping measures, the first of
which was the reduction of his own
domestic establishment to about one
half of its normal strength. He dis
missed at a blow 200 of his wives, bes-
towing their hands upon distinguished
officers of his army, whose pay in con-
sideration of this high favor thus con-
ferred, he docked some five and twenty
per cent. A pleasing feature of this
arrangement is the fact that his ma
jesty has made his matrimonial DISPOSE
sitions in such sort that all his older
moiettes have got new husbands, while
he has reserved the younger ones to
gladden. his W hearth. Muley Has
sans popularity has been increased to
such an extent by this self sacrifice on
his part that, a few days ago, as he
