Owed Him One.

Quite an interesting wedding was cele-
brated at the Atlantic Hotel last night.
Some time ago Thomas Luster, neces-
sarily very bright young man, fell des-
perately in love with Miss Margaret Rice.
Miss Rice was the divorced wife of man
namen Henry Robertson. but that made
no difference with the ardent lover. The
charms of the young woman had made
the hair stand sentimentally on the head
of Mr. Luster, the brilliant. As Poe in
sisted, he ..loved with love that was
more than love-" How such love
can be bestowed is something that a
newspaper man hasn't time to investi-
gate, but as he hasn't time to question
such emotional desperation, he must
simply allow Mr.. Poe, who is dead and
therefore cannot defend himself, to re-
main master of the heart-moving situa-
ton. The ceremony was performed by
Justice Pears.' The bridegroom was ner-
vous. Robertson, the former husband,
had followed the couple. The bride
groom had many reasons to believe that
Robertson, as the divorced husband OF
the bride, meditated revenge. The bride
groom trembled. The bride shook. A
doctor who was present thought that she
had chill. After the ceremony the di-
vorced husband approached the bride
groom and said: st
II have followed you because l owe
you one."
The bridegroom shook. ssa5a
Eyes, sir; owe you one, and l pro-
pose to pay it right here" ID.
The bridegroom shook violently. !
Whenever owe anything pay it. y
The bridegroom shook more violently.
Eyes, sir; always pay it. l owe you
the drinks; what'll you take?''
The bridegroom was greatly relieved,
and took whisky.-Little Rock DIRK.

The engineer stared in amazement, as
well he might, to see small girl with
flushed face, hair blown wildly about
and four lilies pinned in her belt, waving
the led flag as though she had been used
to tagging trains all her life.
At that moment another remarkable
figure presented itself to the astonished
eyes of the passengers. a man, dripping
wet. bruised and scratched as though he
had been drawn through briers, came
tearing toward the cars. stumbling and
almost falling at every step. AS he
reached little Polly, he snatched her up

Polly, nervous and excited, began to
cry. One after another the passengers
came hurrying out of the train and crowd
ed around her, praising and kissing her,
until she was quite ashamed, and hid her
head upon the kind flagman's shoulder,
whispering: please take me away and
find mamma and papa
Almost the last to alight were Polly's
parents. "Why, it's our Poflyr' they
both exclaimed at once. .a.s
The draw was now being closed again,
and the conductor cried, :" All aboardn'

seats again. Polly's father took her into

around, and answered politely all ques-
tons put to her, but refused the rings,
chains, bracelets and watches that the
grateful passengers pressed her to accept
as tokens of their gratitude for saving
their lives.

praise, and spoke out: " Really ! dent

Those that heard her laughed, seeing
that they could do nothing better for her
than to let her remain unnoticed for the
short distance she had to CO.
When Polly was lifted out of the car
and stood upon the steps of the station
while her father looked after the lug
gage, the passengers threw. kisses and
waved their handkerchiefs to her until
they were out Of sight. s .is
A few days afterward Polly was as

POLLY GARDNER AND THE DRAW
s BRIDGE. s

Polly Gardner had been spending her
vacation with Aunt Mary in the country.
She would have been perfectly happy
but that her father and mother were
obliged to remain in the city. i 1t was
five weeks since she had seen them, and
it seemed to Polly like five months.
One lovely afternoon Polly sat on the
horseback idly kicking one foot back
ward and forward, watching Aunt Mary
us she drove off on visit to sick
ncighbor. Birds were singing, bees
were humming, and the slender branches
of the great gray-green willows that
Swallowed the road moved softly with
every light puff of wind. Away off in
the field over the hills Polly could hear
the ring of the mowers scythes. Every
thing was so pleasant and peaceful that
she wished her parents were there to
enjoy it with her. it
Just as Aunt Mary was hidden from
sight by bend in the road, she heard
the crunching of wheels in the opposite
direction, and, on looking up. found it
was another wagon, driven by Mr.. Ward,
the grocer and postman of Willow
Grove. He checked his horse at the
gate, and began fumbling slowly in his
coat pocket for something.
After considerable searching. he drew
out white envelope, and turned il. first
one way and then another, shook his
head, and began feeling in his pockets
again. brought forth his spectacles. ad-
justed them carefully upon his nose, and
once more began examining the letter.
At last he read in loud voice:
4" Miss Polly Gardner, in care OF
Mrs. Mary West, Wilson Grove. In
haste" Then he peeped over his glasses
severely at Polly, and asked, sharply,
i.Who's Miss Polly Gardner? Do you

Can you read?' asked Mr.. Ward,
still holding the letter far above Polly's
reach.

it you would have had to come and fetch

:. Thank you ever so much,n said
Polly, tearing her letter open nervously.
After reading it once, she said "Or' in
sdelighted voice. - .a.s -. .s..is
- Nothing the matter?' inquired Mr..
Ward, who still sat looking at Polly.
" No; but mother and father are com.

India Proofs.

There are various ways in which de-
ceptions are practiced. For instance,
"unlettered India proof" as it is techni-
cally called, is, from being taken off the
engraving at an earlier stage, very much
superior to what is called a =" lettered
India print" which is obtained after
many impressions have been taken off
the engraving, and when the plate has,
consequently, become worn, and the pic
ture lost its 0learness and sharpness Of
line. To turn an :. India print" there
fore, into an Linda proof" the India
print is cut down all round close to the
engraving. "A. clean sheet iof India
paper, Of the same tone as the India
print, but of q larger size, so as to show
clean blank margin, is then, mounted
on a piece of still larger plain
paper and the cut down India
print in turn is mounted in such
a position as to show the usual
margin all round. Before drying, the
manipulated print is subjected to inn
mense pressure, which so forces the
mounted print into the India paper as to
entirely hide the difference in the thick
ness of the material. A true impress
sion taken off plate leaves the mark Of
the plate all round the picture; and to
add this to the ''doctored' India proof.
plain steel or copper plate Of the
proper size is laid on the face of the
print, which is. again subjected to pres
sure, and the deception is then so COM
plete as almost to battle detection. A
volume belonging to collector was sup
posed to contain India paper impressions
of engravings to the value of fS00, but
on examination they were found to be
''doctored' plates, not worth ESQ in all.

The Plain Truth About Garfield.

The letter from General Garfield to Mr..
Chase, written in July, 1868, which first
appeared in the Sun of Wednesday last,
has naturally. excited attention, not only
among persons interested in the military
history of the rebellion. but among
those who wish to form true estimate
of the character of the late President OF
the United States. y
This letter shows that while General
Garfield was chief of staff to General
Rosecrans, holding toward him not
merely the relations of subordinate
officer, but those of most intimate and
confidential friend, heswas at the same
time writing to the Secretary Of the
Treasury letters which were calculated
to discredit Rosecrans. and looking; tor
ward his removal from command of the
Army of the Cumberland. The par
ticular letter published BY the San
proves that this kind of treaehery and
double dealing was practiced by Garfield
at least as long as three months before
General Rosecrans was finally removed.
Some Of our contemporaries are led
into the erroneous, conclusion that it
was this individual letter which ulti-
mately caused the removal of Rose
Grams; but this. we think, is a mistake.
As we have repeatedly had occasion to
aver, that event was brought about. not
by this letter, but by another, or by
others-zWe do not know how many
