lEcSA buus
A young Fond du Lac lawyer learned
something the other night. We know it
will seem strange that young lawyer
could learn anything, but this one ad.
mits it himself. He was out calling on a
young lady, when young man and an
other young lady called, and the young
lawyer thought it would be cunning to
get down behind the lounge and not let
them know he was there, and surprise
them by bobbing up serenely from below
when the proper time came. They came
in and the first thing they asked for was
the young lawyer, who had told the
young man he would be there that even.
ing. Then they began to talk about him,
discussed the size of his feet, which they
claimed were large, and the size of his
head, which they asserted was child's
size. He perspired and they talked about
his mashiug qualities, how he had mashed
a girl that had worked in laundry, and
the opinion was expressed that he was a
regular dirt. Then they talked about
his family, and he tried to stuff his ears.
just then little TERROR belonging to the
girls brother came in the room, and
somebody said "rats," and told the dog
to hunt for them, and the dog went un.
der the lounge and began to growl and
shake something, and there was a sound
of revelry by night. The other young
man and the two girls rushed out of the
room, and the lawyer got up on his feet,
pulling the dog up near his suspenders by
the teeth, and the dog shook, and the
young man kicked and yelled, and pres
emily the girls father came in and seeing
the dog trying to hold what he supposed
was burglar he took an old hair cloth
covered chair and was going to brain the
burglar, when the young man told who
he was, and the father unlocked the dogs
teeth, after he had remembered the com.
bination, and the young lawyer took him.
self in his hand and went away.

The steamer Appledore, after leaving
the Isle of Shoals one day lately, sighted,
at about eight miles southeast of New
Hampshire coast, what seemed to be a
spar buoy. On approaching it it was
found to be q man apparently walking
the heavy seas-no smoke, no steam, no
ores or paddles. The steamer passed
within an eighth of a mile of the lone
navigator, who waved his hat to signify
that he was all right. It was Major Urch
on his marine bicycle.

FIaHTING Is HIS TRADE.-Baron de
Sen Malata is a famous Sicilian duelist,
and he has gone to Paris to find foeman,
worthy of his steel. He is credited with
having fought, in his time, some forty
duels, in none of which he is said to have
been challenger. One of his combatants
was first cousin, whose mother the
Baron had promised that the inexperi-
enced man should suffer no harm. When
they began to fight the cousin attacked
him with ferocity, but the Baron only
parried off his desperate blows. At last
the cousin became so weak from exhaust
alton he could no longer hold his sword,
and seconds interfered to end the con-
test. Another duel fought by the Baron
was with the best broadswordsman in
Sicily, whom the Baron, unused as he
was to fighting with broadswords, rushed
upon savagely, striking as if the sword
were club. The men were thrice put
into position, after the broadswordsman
had twice retreated, and this last time
the Baron's weapon broke within eight
inches of the hilt. Still his adversary
kept on, and none of the seconds inter.
fered. Furious with rage, the Baron
then rushed upon the cowardly fellow.
wounded him with the broken sword,
and drew blood upon each of the seconds,
beginning with his own.

A Novel Trick.

A very interesting experiment
was lately made at Milan Of Signo'
Mainetti's invention for instantane
ously detaching a horse from carriage
The horse. put at u ealiop. was de-
tached without the least shock, leaving
the carriage behind, aud only carrying
of the harness on his back. TIE
contrivance consists of lever
within reach of the coachman, who
with the slightest effort withdraws two
little iron pegs which fasten the
traces. Now, as all the
harness ON the horse is fastened to
two iron bolts, fixed on the shafts,
and these bolts are only held in their
places by the traces, it follows that
the moment the latter are loos.
ened the butts slide out, ami the
whole Of the horses harness is detached
from the carriage, while the shafts
and bars remain in their places.
The experiment was repeated with
success several times.
