A Spanish Grandee.

The Duke of Osuna. whose death i.
announced, was curious specimen OF
an old-fashioned Spanish grandee. He
hal about fifty titles, many of them being
historical. He was a singularly stupid
and singularly liberal man, being pos
sessed of vast estates. He married .
German lady, but was with difficulty
prevented from running away on the day
OF the ceremony. He always insisted
that the Empress Eugene owed her
throne to him, as the Emperor Napoleon
would never have married her had he
not feared that if he delayed she might
become Duchess of Osuna. For some
years he was Spanish Ambassador at st.
Petersburg but he always refused to
draw his salary, as to do so was beneath
the dignity of an Osuna His notions of
hospitality were of the grandest. In
Madrid open house was kept in one of
his palaces; whether he was there or not.
One day lady told him that she was
going to some town in Spain, and, pre-
suming that he had palace there, he
begged her to use it; but, finding that he
was mistaken, he at once ordered one to
be bought and furnished, in order that
the invitation should stand good. 1t was
difficult to praise anything in his pres
ence, for he at once insisted upon the
person who praised it acceptingit. One
of his estates in Spain was so large that
it supported a band of robbers, who
respectfully called themselves ''the rob-
bers of the Duke of Osuna." OF this he
was extremely proud.-M T. Sun.

Vagaries Of the Alaskan Thlinkits.

who shot at some decoy ducks near Sitka,
went to the owner of the decoys and de-
manded the return of his wasted amtani-
ton. Two Alaskans were driven to sea
in a canoe. A schooner picked them mp,
but would not or could not take their
canoe as it was still blowing a gale. The

MY OWN BRIGHT ROSE.

Ihere are gardens and gardens of roses.
All beautiful, bright and sweet;
But, oh not one do | coyet
OF all that chance to meet;
For the brightest rose
is the one that grows
In my own little home for me;
And wherever | go,
Full well do | know
No rose is so dear as she.
My Rose has eyes that are browner
Than ever were eyes of gazelle,
And heart that belongs to woman
whom we should trust long and well.
Not far do | roam
From the garden of home
Where my Rose is blooming for me:
For the charm of my life
Lies therein the wife
Who is fair and sweet to see.
So bud and blossom, We roses,
Wherever the gardens grow,
Not sweeter your fragrant blooming
Than the beautiful Rose l know.
Nor amongst you there
Is there bud so fair
As the bud, so dainty and wee,
Which my Rose so sweet,
To make joy complete
Has brought to my garden for me.

A Midnight Sidewalk Marriage.

Mr.. Lee Hale and Miss Katie Morgan
had long loved each other, but the pa.
rents of Miss Katie objected to the union
An elopement had been determined on,
and Sunday night was the time set.
The father and brothers of the young
lady BY some means had got an inkling
of what was going on, and determined
to watch and wait developments. About
twelve clock Sunday nj ght, by the gas
jets, the form of Mr.. Lee Hale was seen
approaching. A minister had been pro-
cured and, in company with a few
friends of the bridegroom, were standing
at reasonable distance on the pave
ment. The unusual crowd on the street
attracted few policemen to the scene,
but as soon as it became known what
was in the wind no interference was
made. Miss Morgan, on the approach
of her lover, attempted to leave the
house to join him. Her cruel father
and brothers caught hold of and at
tempted to intercept her, but she
broke away from them and ran
to the head of the steps. BY
some unaccountable accident the
young lady stumbled and fell headlong
down the steps. Fortunately she was
not injured further than few unimpor-
tant bruises on her body. Mr. Hale stood
at the foot of the stairway and raising
the girl in his arms, assisted her to where
the minister and friends were standing.
Everything being in readiness, they were
united in marriage in less than three
minutes. All the high contracting par
ties stand well socially Chattanooga

common was operated by India-rubber
springs, but Farinis patents have COW
cred two other modes of propulsion, one
by spiral springs and the other actually
by the force Of powder, which in the
spring cannons is simply used to keep up
appearances. When the performer is to
be literally ''fred out" a heavy barrel
in the breech of the sham cannon is
loaded with about twice as much powder
as would constitute a charge for shot
gun, and the gases produced by its COM
bustion are set loose in the air chamber
at the base of a series of telescoped shells
surrounding the person in the cannon.
As the shells extend towards the muzzle
like the lengthening of telescope, and
give rapid impetus to the performer.
Near the muzzle two openings are de-
yeloped, through which pours the black
smoke from the explosion, without any
danger of burning or blackening the
fired-out one, who is at the moment gy-
rating through space. The cannon is so
arranged that springs can be used if de-
sired, and in that case the explosion of
smaller quantity of powder is required,
merely to free the spring. Attempts
have been made to get up the cannon
trick in this country. but it is fully pro
tected by patents, and the modes by
which evasion has been sought have not
been encouraging. In one case the per-
former was already darted out into the
net when the explosion took place-an
entire "give away" as showmen say;
and in the other a rash performer had
his legs driven up into him.
Farini' young woman, whom he called
Zazel, did the cannon act successfully
two and half years in the Royal Aqua
rum in London. The trick is not in the
superior cannon, however. The per-
former must have nerve enough to re-
main perfectly rigid in the trying second
after giving the word Go" And that
perfect nerve is exceedingly difficult to
| find, so much so that Signor Farini has
never discovered anybody but Lulu who
could do successfully the jumP-up act.
Others became limp somewhere at the
prospect of the awful chuck before them
Just as they said 60" and when they
went up it was in all sorts of ways, like 3
rabbit thrown up by its hind legs. Few
of them ever tried it twice. - PNiIadalphiS
