Two couples presented themselves at
the mayoralty in a suburb of Paris to
carry out the civil portion of their mar.
riage contract. During the ceremony
one of the bridegrooms saw, or fancied
he saw, his partner making ''sheep's
eyes" at the other bridegroom. He cried
sharply
"Mademoiselle, which of the two
brides are you? You are mine, be-
lieve; then confine your glances to me. y
The bride was q young woman of spirit,
and, resenting his tone, retorted:
"Ah, monsieur, If you are jealous OF
me already, am likely to lead pleas
ant life with You, now am not?"
The jealous bridegroom made an an
CRY reply, and then the other bride
groom needs join in. This led to a
general dispute, which the mayor en-
deavored in vain to quell. The bride:
grooms stormed, and the brides, through
their hysterical sobs, accused each other
of periidy. At length the mayor ad-
journed the ceremony for half an hour
TO admit of an amicable understanding,
both sides having refused to proceed.
When, at the expiration of the half hour
the parties we're summoned to reappeaI
the bridegroOms had literally effected an
exchange of brides. Adhering to the
new arrangements, the mayor bound
them husbands and wives.

Dear Interior; W
Nowhere have We received such cour-

this city. Admirable reports by compe-
tent men, with no offensive head lines, and
no duplicity, and a steady friendly edito'

grateful debtors, especially 70 the daily
Sentinel (Dem.) and Journal (Rep.) We
cannot express our appreciation Of this
kindness. We shall certainly never forget

Our gallant young representative
ia Congress, Hon. p. b. Thompson,
Jr., has for the third time by the
democracy Of this district been made
its standard-bearer. No man Of his
age in Kentucky has been so compli-
mented and none has so well earned
his laurels. He has done splendid
service for his party and for his dis
trict in Congress and on all questions
looking to the enriching Of the few at
the expense of the many, has always
been found at the front advocating
equal rights for all and exclusive priv.
ileges for none. His ability has been
recognized and he not only commands
the respect, but the attention Of the
mem mbers Of Congress, without regard
TO party affiliations. The fact that he
was made Secretary Of the National
Congressional Committee is sufficient
assurance Of how we'll he stands with
his own party. The equal, if not the
superior of w. o. Bradley, Esq, in
every respect, he will be able with a
just cause and a proud and honored
party record to hold up, to prove more
than a match for his oily-tongued op-
ponent. We predict his triumphant
election by largely increased majori-
ty, but at the same time would remind
the democracy that we have willy foe,
With any amount of corruption money,
