Ancr Thrcn DAYS.

Mr.. CHARLES W. NORRIS, Eagle" Office,

Sham EIODpmenfs.

"Half the elopements we hear about
nowadays are shams," said our man of
the wosld, with his air of portentious
wisdom. "Now that runaway match
in our own town, for instance. The
girls father is sharp man, but this is
one of the sharpest tricks he has ever
played since knew him. That elope-
ment was all sham. It's as simple as
can be, The girls father is one of the
best known men in this section of the
town and is a politician beside. He
has, necessarily, large acquaintance
with the element who are always ex-
pecting him to stand treat upon the
slightest pretext, and, what with this
and the wedding festivities, supper and
other etceteras, his daughters mar
miage, if solemnized in the ordinary
manner, would have cost him q great
deal of money. An elopement saved
all this, so he opposed his daughters
wishes strongly enough to give a pre-
text for the two to run over to the next
town, where the expenses of the we'd
ding, all told, didn't amount to more
than five or ten dollars. There were
no fine dresses, flowers, gifts or any
thing of that sort, and when they re-
turned home they had a chance to 90
to housekeeping quietly and unosten-
tatiously 1t was a shrewd plan and
sensible one for all parties concerned.
| have known number of runaway
matches which had no other reason
than economy. Parents, relatives and
all were willing for the young people
to commit matrimony, but the expense
was serious consideration, and little
timely opposition which caused an
elopement smoothed out the crooked
channel in which the course of true
love was running. The cost of the
wedding was saved for housekeeping,
the young couple were forgiven, and
all went as merrily as if there had
been any amount of marriage bells
ringing"

Tar and Feather.

This phrase, which distinguishes
the most ignominious of punishment
for offenses usually against society, is
of considerable antiquity, as is the in
yention itself. 1t had its origin in
Europe. One of Richard Cpur de
Lions ordinances for seamen was,
that if any man were taken with
theft or pickery, and thereof convicted,
he should have his head pulled, and
hot pitch poured over his pate, and
upon that the feathers of some pillow
or cushion shaken aloft, that he might
thereby be known for a thief, and at
the next arrivals of the ship to any
land be put forth of the company to
seek his adventures, without all hope
of return unto his fellows"

HanpY and Unhappy Women.

Some few women may enjoy being
knocked about in the world-may even
find relish in scrambling, elbow to ell
bow, with men for places in the front
ranks of workers; but these few stand
in the same relation to their sisters as
does a man of genius to his ordinary
brother; an unnatural thing, an anom-
ally. The few women who enjoy such
life as it is known that woman of
the working world must live, have, by
their injudicious over-enthusiasm, done
more harm than they dreamed they
were remedying. The independence
of woman has cast such a light upon
their natural pleasing dependence that
it must be admitted it is now terribly
unprepossessing. Woman's suffering
is very closely allied to woman's suf-
frage; woman's wrongs overlap wo-
mans rights. Fifty women are unhap-
PLY at work where there is one hap
PLY not; and there are just about fifty
women working where one needs to
be, or rather ought ought to be, or
would be, if women had let women
alone. A woman is not fitted for a
working life. Physically she may be
able to stand it; mentally she may
flash and brighten, at heart the true
woman quivers, and breads the fist as
well as the tongue of the world. One
of the most unhappy women l know is
a brilliant woman of semi-Bohemian-
literary society. Envied, but not en-
Viable; admired, but not loved. The
wittiest woman of her city, her bon
motS are the cleverest at the clubs. A
clever and thinking woman, her work
is as clever and thoughtful. She says:
Il would rather be the weakest, the
least talented woman in the world, the
honest wife of an honest man who
would love me, and let me love him,
than the most beautiful, successful wo-
man of the world. l would rather be
the slave of household than a queen
usurping masculine rights"

The election in Maryland resulted in tho
success of the democrats on the State ticket,
though the returns indicate a close vote as

was elected.
The election in Virginia, for one-half of
the State Senate and full House of Dele

How She Got Him.

A very amusing story is told in the
(Paderborn) Germany papers. A ru-
raj couple in Village near that place
had taken out their license for mar
riage Being well known to the Off
Ger. who had to unite them in the holy
bonds of matrimony, he, in order to
facilitate matters, made the entry in
the register before the knot had been
tied. Very soon after the happy cou
pie appeared on the scene. The Off
cial went TO work with alacrity. lie
put the well known question, "Wilt
thou take so and So" and was dumb
pounded to hear NO ringing from
the hips of the groom, who explained
this 10y saying that he had heard some
thing about his bride demonstrating
with the hard-hearted groom was of
no avail, and the couple left. The
official was in a quandary what to do
with his register and how to get
names erased therefrOm without mu-
tilating his records. The girl, after
leaving the officials presence, upbraid-
ed the fellow soundly, and told him
that he had acted mean, very mean,
toward her; that it might be easy
enough for him TO get another wife,
but that after what he had done would
become public, it would be a hard
matter for her to find another man
who would be willing to become her
husband. And she followed up her
argument: '1f you would go back
with me now and give me chance
TO say no, also; then, Of course, people
will not think so hard Of me, and /
might find a husband afterwards, too" !"
The mean fellow became Modified and
assented TO her proposition. So they
wended their way back to the official.
The official was glad to see them, and
said SO, when he heard the groom say,
I'VE have changed our mind" So
again the fatal words were put: IN.
n, wilt thou" etc, etc, and 'yes'
came from her pretty lips, mo, no."
said the groom, "that is against our
understanding" But the Official, hap
DIV to know that his record would not
now be mutilated, without paying any
attention to the wailings of the groom,
nronounced them man and wife. The
sequel of this story has not yet been
told.

Stretching with a Hot Poker.

'1n 1645," said Fifth avenue, New
York, art dealer to a Tribune reporter,
there lived in the city Of Boston
worthless vagabond named Halden, .
man who had seen better days. He
was an artist-had wonderful talent,
and during his periodical sprees would
devote himself assiduously to his pecu-
liar work, though he was never known
TO do anything while sober. A wealthy
banker, who had known him in his
younger years and knew of his genius,
would indulge him in the prosecution
Of his work and aided him in many
other ways. He was also acquainted
with Halden's peculiarities and knew
the fit Of application never came over
him when sober. Indeed, on several
occasions he had gone so far as to treat
him to drink in order to get him to
work. Halden's portraits were the
best specimens Of his art, and they
were marvels of correctness. They
were generally burned on thin board
of bird's-eye maple, with red-hot
poker Of the ordinary shape, after
which they received two coats Of var
nish which was put on to preserve
them, and set in deep, heavy frames.
He called them Poker Sketches and
on the back of each was burned this
inscription: This sketch was burned
with poker-Halden, sculpSit.'
"His likenesses were striking, and
the three Of them now in existence
although executed from memory, are
perfect in every respect. He had seen
Webster only once in his life, but the
portrait which he burned with his hot
poker has been pronounced one Of the
truest hkenesses ever seen Of the great
statesman. WebSter'S strong features
and dark complexion admirably suited
the character of the work, which has
peculiar brown appearance when
finished. His picture Of Clay is owned
by his banker friend, who also once
owned the other two, but presented
them to some southern friends. One of
them, Shakespeare, is in the possession
of Francis Fontaine, commissioner of
emigration Of Georgia Webster was
presented to humorous writer of the
same state, and now hangs in his par
lor, an object Of wonder and admiration
to visitors.
Poker sketches are durable, and will
last for centuries. In doing them it is
literally case of burn while the
iron is hot One mistouch Of the
poker ruins the board; there is no era
sure, no wiping out. A board SO spoil
ed, the only remedy is to begin on an
other and do the whole thing over
again."
