Misleading Titles.

Unfortunately, writers are not care

are occasionally adopted which, instead

as well as unsuspecting farmers and
shepherds. The Diversions of Pur-
lev at the time of its publication, was
ordered by a village book-club under
the impression that it was book of

Married in Presence of Royalty.

An Indian youth and maiden belong.
ing to one of the tribes of British Col
umbia who had intended to postpone
their marriage until such time as the
instructions of their missionary should
have fitted them TO go through the
ceremony after the manner Of Chris
tians, changed their minds when the
Princess Louise arrived in their settle
ment. 1t was their ardent desire to be
married in the presence of their "great
white mothers daughter" and the
princess cheerfully acquiesced. The
friends of the contracting parties were
arranged in two long rows facing each
other, the chiefs, the bride and groom
and the nearest relatives occupying
cross seat at the head Of the two rows.
The father of the bride made an ad-
dress, in the course of which he said
that he was giving his daughter to the
young man and that thereafter she
would be the same rs dead to him.
Thereupon large dish was placed
upon the ground, into which the friends
of the groom cast money TO coinpen-
safe the old man for his loss. This con-
solatory offering occupied considerable
time, and when the count was made
the dish was found TO contain $i00.
The ceremony ended with feast.

PAPA'S BLESSING.

81 have asked Wynn to come out
this evening to talk over little bust
ness, Dora. If he should arrive before
get here you must see to him until
come. Be kind and polite to him, my
dear. He is really very well-nean-
ing and unassuming fellow, and the
most useful bookkeeper / have ever
had. He has seemed a little out of
sorts lately, and am sure would be
most grateful for any little attention
from you"
This Richard Blair, the rich tea
merchant, had said to his daughter in
the morning, on leaving his pretty
villa at Richmond for the city, with
an amount of pompous condescension
kind.
Dora was an obedient daughter, as
her reception to her fathers guest that
evening plainly showed; but certainly
the worthy tea merchant would have
found abundant cause to retract his
opinion as to the same guests modest
and unassuming character if he had
been a witness of his demeanor on that
occasion for no sooner had the door
closed upon the servant who ushered
him into the presence of his young
mistress than-totally unabashed and
unblushing--he took the young girl
into his arms, only releasing her after
leaving upon her ripe red lips at least
half dozen warm kisses.
Dora, not appearing in the least sur
prised or disconnected at this greeting,
bore unfinchingly the situation for
fully two minutes before she blushing-
ydrew back and endeavored to bring
into something like orc er her soft
brown hair, which, with the dainty
rufies at her throat, had become some
what disarranged by the welcome she
had so obediently given her fathers
guest.
sit is a long time since I have seen
you, Harry" she remarked, with be-
wildering glance from beneath the
thick lashes shading the large gray
eyes.
II should think so, indeed-quite an
age" responded the bookkeeper, dis
mally. al managed to get away half
an hour before the time your father
told me he should be home, hoping to
see you alone; but he'll be sure to turn
up before he's expected-it's just my
luck r
Harry, do you know why my father
has sent for you tonight" ?"
"I haven't an idea, except that it's
something about the branch business
\ in Hong Kong"
"I can enlighten you a little, then,
though hardly think you will be as
pleased as my father seems to expect.
One of the men in the house out there
has just died; he had rather a respon-
sible position, ! believe. and papa
wants to send you out to take his
place"
"As if anything could induce me to
leave England and you, Dora?" cried
the young man. "Why, the separation
would probably be for years !"
II am afraid you must go, Harry"
was the girrs rather sorrowful re-
sponse. "You know my father; your
refusal to obey his wishes would prob
ably make something very like an
enemy Of him, and render matters be-
tween us even more hopeless than
they are at present"
Dora, must speak to your father"
cried the young man, excitedly. " when
he finds that his daughters happiness
is involved ne can't be heartless enough
to refuse our united prayers. He
seems to feel rather kindly toward me.

VANDALIA, ILL., June 29 - News has
reached here OF terrible stabbing affray
that took place last night near Brownstown,
twelve miles east OF here, between Thos.
Vert and Abe Workman, both respectable
and well-to.do farmers. The particulars, as
nearly as can be ascertained, are these:

would not do as represented, and asked
him to stand TO his contract Workman
gave Vert little or no satisfaction about the
matter but rather inCcnSed him by tctling
him that the machine would do as repre-
Scnted if properly managed. Vert grew
very indignant over the matter, and At
once came to this place for legal advice, and
the information received did not satisfy
him. but rather tended to kindle his rage
the more. Just before Nert left for home
he was heard to say that he would have
Workman to whip or Workman would
whip him.
About eight o'clock last night Vert went
out TO see Workman about the reaper.
Vert stopped in front of Workman's resi-
denCe, and was in the act OF hitching his
team TO the fence. when Workman came to
the door and forbid him doing so. At this
Vert became very much enragcd, and told
Workman if he would step out in the road
he would whip him. Workman advanced
toward Vert, at tn" same time picking up a
large club. AS Workman came nearer, Vert

Spectat 10 Re lcS0tHeT.
Sr. MARYs, w. VA, June pa terrible
explosion occurred yesterday morning
about o o'clock on Middle Island creek
about three miles from this place. A saw
mill belonging to the Sock brothers blew
up, and tore everything to atoms. The en-
tire concern, boiler, engine, saw rig and
building was all literally torn to fragments
and scattered around over the ground
within radius of one hundred yards. A
man by the name of David Brown, an en-
ploye, was instantly killed, and several
others were more or less injured but not
fatally. 1t is miracle how any escaped.
One large piece of the boiler went immedi-
ately over the top of man and horse.
A mule was killed that stood fifty yards
distant. Brown was a poor man and de-
pendedpn his daily labor for his living.
He leaves q wife and seven children TO
mourn his loss. Like all similar accidents
no reason can be given for the explosion,
but id is said that the boiler was very old
| and had been in Use for a long time, and
| had worn very thin in places. These saw
| mill explosions are becoming very frequent
| in our State, and some legislation should
be had requiring a thorough and full in
| spection OF all boilers and the licensing of
engineers, the same as is required on steam
boats. :. III.

4 NEW BILL
To BE Drawn up for the Navy Depart

WASHINGTON, June 29.-The Senate Com
mittee on Naval Affairs held an important
conference this forenoon and unanimously
agreed to draw up new appropriation bill
for the Navy which will exclude those OBJ
iectionable riders. These riders, in brief,
contemplate the retirement OF Admiral
Porter and Vice Admiral Rowan, and, it is
said. that the scheme is to promote Captain
John G. Walker, who is down on the lis
below several others to be Rear Admiral.
The friends OF Admiral Porter in Washing
ton are justly indignant at this move on
the part OF a subordinate, and there is a
creat deal OF ii feeling over the matter.
