Matrimonial Advice.

The young woman said her lover was

to be married. Whereupon the old
lady said she had much experience in
the marrying business" and would
give the young lady some advice, and
here is what she said: ''Well, child,
never marry railroader. for he is liza
BILE to get killed at any time. Never
marry Il military man, for he is liable
to go to war and get shot. Besides, his
gorgeous clothes attract the attention
OF the women. Never marry hotel
keeper. My first husband was a hotel
keeper and fell through the elevator
opening and broke his skull. Never
marry travelling man, for he is always
away from home. Never marry a
steamboater. My second husband was
a steamboat captain, and got blowed
into 100000 piecesl | always get
terribly mad when think of that man.
Never marry Il grocer. My third hus-
band was grocer, and he was killed
by molasses barrel fallin' on him.
When think of him I'm completely
disguised Never marry carpenter.

and fell off scaff'old and was smashed

Fritz Bormann, q well-known resi-
dent Of this city, has iustreturned from
an enforced visit to Puget Sound. Mr.
Bormann is an old resident, and has
been in the butcher business for years
In an unguarded moment he visited
San Pedro, and in cornwall mood took
q few drinks with some men whom he
supposed were friends, but who, he now
thinks, drugged his liquor. After these
drinks his recollection failed him, and
VIXEN he came to his senses he was on
board schooner bound for Puget
Sound. No explanation was given him
and it was soon plain to his befuddled
senses that he had been shanghaed and
was ON his way to the lumber regions.
He was not a sailor but he managed to
do q mans work until the Sound was
reached, when he quit the vessel and
returned home. He makes no COM
plant about his treatment on board the
vessel, but objects seriously to the mode
of his taking of. 1t would seem, from
such incidents, that there is gang of
harpies at San Pedro who do shang-
haeing in the most approved style, and
it might be well for our county authori-
ties to give attention to these scoundrels.
The penitentiary is yawning for them,
and it would be a salutary lesson to
have o few of them sent theEe.--LOS

Olive Groves of MentOne.

The longer one remains in Mentone,
the stronger grows attachment to the
olive groves. But they do not seem tit
places for the young, whose gay voices
resOund through their gray aisles;
the cheer and warmth of the sun. But
they are for the middle-aged- those
who are beyond the joys and have not
yet reached the peace of life, the poor,
aforementioned, hard-wOrked midd%-
aged. The olives of MentOne are small,
and used only for making oil. We saw
them gathered; men were beating the
boughs with long poles, while old wom-
en- and children collected the dark pur-
pie berries and placed them in sacks,
which the patient donkeys bore to the
mill. The oil-mills are venerable and
picturesque little buildings OF stone,
placed in the ravines where there is %
stream of water. We visited one on the
side hill; its only light came from the
open door. and its, interior made pict-
ure which Gerard Douw might well
have painted. The great oil Jars, the
old hearth and oven, the earthen jugs,
hanging lamps with floating wicks, and
the figures of the men moving about,
made picturesque scene. The fruit
was crushed by stone rollers, the wheel
being turned by water-power; the pulp,
saturated with warm water, was then
placed in fiat round rope baskets, which
were piled one upon the other, and the
whole subjected TO strong pressure,
which caused the clear yellow oil to e&-
ude through the meshes of the baskets,
and flow down into the little reservoir
below Constance r. lFoolsOn, IN Har-
2)er's M00azine.

A Strange Story.

A strange story is told in connection
with the sudden death of DIR. Marion
Sims. When he visited Washington q
few weeks before his death he promised
to return and spend the winter with his
cousin, DR., Mackey, says correspond
ent of the Louisville COarier-j0urndl.
The rooms he was to occupy were pre-
pared for his reception, and everything
was in readiness. About three O'clock
in the morning DIR. Maclley awoke
from his sleep and told his wife that he
had Just had such vivid and horrid
dream that he could not dispel the vis-
ion. He dreamed that DR.. Sims stood
by his bedside. with the face of
corpse, and said, over and over again:
james the Fourth,is dead. DR.. Sims
was the fourth in his family bearing the
same name, and among relatives called
himself James the Fourth. Finding
that he could not shake off TIE impress
sion, DR.. Mackey rose and went down
stairs to his Ii rary to sit there and
read. He observed that the clock had
stopped at three, and superstitious
dread OF evil almost .overcame him. He
remained in his Ii rary until was time
to drcs for breakfast, and while at that
meal telegram was brought ia an
nouncing the sudden death Of DR.. Sims
at three o'clock,

Mountains as Health Restorers.

Mountains are the health restorers of
the country, and never send back to
their homes with pale faces and wasted
forms those who have never sought
their rugged embrace and enjoyed their
breezy kisses. A comparison with those
who seek the shore, the plain and the
lake, will prove the beneficial effects of
the mountain resort overall others, and
that the per cent. Of health is increased
in a greater degree by its regimen OF
air and exercise. That the mountains
grow more popular as resorts, alike TO
pleasure and health, has been demon
strated in a greater degree than ever
during the season Of 1888. and | doubt
not Jew years hence, will see then
monopolize summer pilgrims as their
devout and loyal worshipers.- j.

A Musical Hit.

We have heard of man who forgot
his own name when he called at the
post-of1ice for letter, and was going
home to ask who he was, when he heard
q man in a wagon speak to his horse
The name happened to be the same as
his own, and he fastened back to the
office to take advantage of his recov-
cred identity. There is a curious story
in musical annals of a Polish singer
named Yaneiwicz, who spent a profes-
sional season in London, lodging at the
West End. One day, after paying sew
eral visits, he called hackney coach.
and having seated himself, was asked
by the coachman where he wished to
ride.
''Home, mon ami; you 90 me home, y
said Yaneiwicz, who knew very little
English, and tried to express himself
partly with the help of French.
"Home, sir but where % says the
coachman.
"Ah, me not know. De name of de
street has eshcape out of my memory.
l haf forgot him. Vat shall 1 do P''
The coachman smiled.
"Ah, you are gay Come now, you
understand de musique, eh?"
Emusic what's that to do with the
street"
"Ah UouS Cerrez you shall see. y
He then hummed tune, and inquired,

foreman Allin, of the Springfield,
Mass. armory, who is something of a
meteorologist, has novel explanation
of the gradual equalization of climate
north and south-that at the south be-
coming colder as that of the north be-
comes warmer. Every storm he thinks,
is due to electricity, and the railroads
and telegraph lines, with their steel
rails and wires, forming as they do a
network of conductors all over the
country, tend to equalize the climate.

A woman of twenty-five appeared
at the Liverpool Assizes on charge
of bigamy, when in her own defense
she stated that her husband sold her
for quart of beer, and she supposed
this transaction allowed her to marry
again. The second husband contended
that he ''bowt'' her and the first hus-
band that he sold her, so his Lordship
declared them all guilty Of bigamy.

The Jealous aud knowing
ketchu,nites,who have been SO gleeful
of late over the flying rumors of an
extension of the railroad to that town,
are not SO numerous as they have
been and look as if they would like
to hedge. First came the Ear load of
Stag pots, which these railroad builders
mistooL for sc~apers; then followed
the cnginecrs-who have not made
any survev-then a report that some
rich member Of the smelling company
had advanced 100000 to the railroad
company and taken its bonds, to as
sist in building the road, and then
silence, succeeded bv still more
silence. In fact, ketchum has con-
oluded that a railroad is not needed
there; that it would be of no partic-
ular advantage to the town anyway
aud they don't want it. In month
they will swear they won't have it.
Judge Lewis will probably make an
other affidavit for publication in The
Lewis Family Journal, which nobody
can dispute. They viii be right
they won't have it.

at least of $4,000, were left during
the Honeymoon ia the saielleeping Of

London. Shortly after IA porter,
wearing the badges of his respectable
trade upon cap and collar, rolled u
