A Very BashfuI BRIDEGROOM.
Savannah News


There is a young man near Sumter
who was to be married on a certain
night. He had seen and loved the
girl, and was too bashful to do his
courting, so it had to be done by proxy.
The day had arrived, the guests as
sembled, the license procured, the
paason on hand and the bride ready,
but the youthful groom did not turn
up. The friend who had done the
counting went out, and after looking
around, found him sitting or lying in
a horse-trough. On asking him why
he did not go to the house to be mar
ried, he said: ooh, [ can't 90 thar
and stand before them folks. =" "Oh,
yes you can, Everybody in there is
married but the girl. Come on. )"
"Get her to come out doors and we'll
marry under the shed, but let the old
folks stay in the house" The friend
went back, got the girl and parson
out without exciting suspicion, and
they were married. The company
waited two or three hours, and on be-
ing invited to supper, were introduced
to the bride and groom They be-
came SO indignant that all left with
out partaking of the supper

Tarring a Rat.
Chambers Journal.

Rats are wonderfully clean animals,
and they dislike tar more, perhaps,
than any thing else, for if it once gets
on their jackets they find it most diff
cult to remove it. Now, [ had heard it
mentioned that pouring tar down at
the entrance of their holes was good
remedy; also, placing broken pieces
of glass by their holes was another
remedy. But these remedies are not
effective The rats may leave their old
holes and make fresh ones in other
parts of the house; they don't how
ever, leave the premises for good.
thought I would try another expert
ment-one [ had not heard of before.
One evening set large wire-cage
rat-trap, attaching inside a most
seductive piece of strongly smelling
cheese, and the next morning | found
to my satisfaction, that had succeed
ed in trapping very large rat-one
of the largest had ever seen-which,
after had besmeared him with tar,

next night | tried again, and succeed
ed in catching another equally big
fellow, and served him in the same
manner. I could not follow these two

PECK'S BAD BOY OUTDONE.
Nevada Lad Who is Thought to be
the Worst in All America.
From the Carson Appea

Carson has developed a bad boy
who is worse if anything than Peck's
bad boy, who is counted on as the
worst boy of his age in the whole
United States His name is Johnny
McGlnnis, and he lives on King street.
It appears that few days ago Mrs.
McGinnis started to give her seven
year-Old daughter bath. When she
disrobed her by the tub she was hor-
rified, at discovering that the young
lady was covered all over with croco-
diles, fish, rare animals, and Egyp-
tian ibexes, painted on in lasting col
Ors. She said that her brother John
ny had painted her to get her a
chance to go away with the circus.
The neighbors were called in and
their low opinion of the boy was un-
bounded The elder McGinnis sailed
out after the venturesome lad and
found him IN JOhnson's barn, where
he was decorating young lad whom
he had inveigled away from his par
ents. When the elder McGinnis had
ceased parleying with the younger
McGinnis, the trunk strap which he
had brought into the barn had seen
its best days The young lad made
the following explanation of the af-
fair:
eye see dads been pretty hard up
since stocks went down, and so [ fixed
Mary up for a spec. My idea was to
tattoo few boys and girls and have
'em travel with the tattood woman
as children with birthmarks, Ell? Do
you catch on? One tattoOd woman is
a big thing, but whole family of
'em would be immense. [ was cal
kerlatin' to make some money for the
old man, but he's so Internal bull
headed that he don't catch on quick
to new enterprises. He wore out a
whole trunk strap on me. I'll bet two
dollars that they don't rub them fig
ures off Mary for six months, I used
the best blue ink the old man had.
I'd like to catch him asleep; blame
me If [ wouldn't paint whole drove

THE FRANK JAMES TRIAL.
HE Fakes the Stand in His own Be
half. Gen. Shelby Fined for Con tenn

| A. "Oh' ShSlot F1ieu IOr Con tenn
ptofCOurt.
A dispatch from Gallaton Mo. of
the 1st. inst says.
Frank James has been on the wit
ness stand in his own behalf. He
was in no way Disconnected by the
many eyes fixed upon him, but rather
seemed to enjoy it. His story was
not OF particular interest, merely
showing his movements about the
country. In Ethe winter of 1876 he
went from Missouri into Tennessee:
came to Nashville in July, 1877, and
rented farm in the white Creek
neighborhood, and in 1880 he was
logging for the Indian Lumber com
pany. His health becoming impaired
he moved into Nashville to 90 into
other business. He first met Jesse the
year after he went to Nashville 1t
was IN a store. Jesse stepped up and
spoke, but he called no names. He
said he was living in Hampburg coun-
ty, Tenn, and buying grain. Frank
saw Bill Ryan in 1879; did not see
Dick Liddell. Ryan and Jesse were
together very often. He left Nash
vile, firstly to look for a livelihood
for his family, and secondly, to get
away from these parties, They went
to Geo. Hite's, a relative in Kentucky.
Regarding the officers appearance
near Hite's, three men approached,
and Jesse said: they are after US.
Frank said: No, they can't be after
u.s.. Dick Liddell said: Jesse and I
borrowed couple of horses at Nash
vile, and they are after u.s. The of
ficers passed and did not come back.
Wood Hitc followed them a short dis
tance. 1t was said there was strong
resemblance between Wood Hite and
Frank. Frank and family went from
Hltes to Logan county, Ky, and
Jesse and Dick went away. No ar
rangement was made between them
and Frank to rob the express at Kan
sas City. On the contrary he tried to
dissuade them from going to Missouri
as it was unsafe. He advised Dick to
go to work. Between May 1C and IS,
1881, he went to Louisville end thence
to Clay county.
When asked to describe the route
from Denison, Tex, to the house of
his sister, Mrs. Palmer, the defendent
could not give it minutely, nor the
names OF parties with whom he stop
ped while in Clay county, Tex. He
got acquainted with cowboy by the
name of Haynes, employed by j. H.
Stone & Co. The defense then rested
their case. The state will introduce
witnesses in rebuttal to-day, after
which will come instructions to the
jury, and on Monday the arguments
will commence.
Gen. Shelby, a friend of the pris-
oner, having become extremely de-
monstrative, The again appeared in court
and offered an apology. Judge Good
man severely criticised his actions
and accused him Of having drawn a
pistol on the verge of the court room.
Shelby said it was false, and that the
United States marshal who was testi-
fed to it. under oath had lied. The
court then fined him $40, and he paid
it and left the room.

Gus runs to see what would happen.
but it is reasonable to assume that
they either summoned together all
the number of their community, and
by their crest-failen appearance gave
their comrades silent indications of
the misfortunes which has so suddenly
befallen them, or that they frightened
their brethren away, for they one and
all forsook the place and fed. The
experiment was eminently successful.
From that day, in 1875, till now, 1888.

Gently returned to London from trip
to Dieppe, IN the course of which he
collected about $50. He travels under
the care of the railway employees, by
whom he is transported from one line
to another at connecting points. The
money is collected in toy bank strap
ped to his neck. He goes from man
to man at the station and waits patti
emily until he hears the clinl1 of the
cash in the box. A station-master on
one of the railroads used to strap the
hospital charity box that had been
left at the station to his back, and his
little daughter would lead him up to
passengers getting on and off the
trains. The little girl was sick one
day, and Collie" went his rounds
himself, with even better success than
when accompanied. That is how he
got to begging.

Another Dress Reform.
Burlington HaWkeyc

burlington HaWkeyc.
A Boston genius has inaugurated
reform. He proposed to amputate the
-the-the shirt; in fact, that is-it's
kind of delicate subject to discuss
in the columns of family paper but
what this dress reform wants to do.
and in his own case actually has done,
is to amputate the-as we said before,
right about amidships; cut off all
that portion of the amendment, to
speak in parliamentary phrase, com
ing after, that is below, the word tag,
or, more correctly, the tag itself, that
fastens the shirt front down to the
waist band He would thus dispense
entirely with the-ha-he would dis
pense with it, you see, and would have
merely the shirt waist, as worn by
little boys, without the-that is, with
out any. 1t does appear to be a waist
Coke of raw material, but whether
the saving would compensate for the
brevity of the raiment thus curtailed
(another joke remains to be seen. Or
rather, it should not be seen-most
certainly not-not in good society,
anyhow; but the fact is-however,
anyone can see-or no, the fact is you
cannot see.
