and when anything out of the usual
does occur. it puts the place in a
hutter of excitement. For a long
time past it has been observed by the
friends of both parties that Louis
Badgely and Josephine Howard, aged
respectively Fl teen and fourteen
years, have been what may be
termed "spoony." That is to say,
they had all the symptoms that are
common to people in love. Under
the pretence of visiting a neighbor,
the pair took their way to the resi-
dence of Sidney Roberts, who lent a
friendly ear to their schemes. Mr..
Roberts son Charles was let into
the affair, and dispatched three miles
for neighboring clergyman to per-
form the ceremony. The minister
was soon on his way to make two
hearts happy and get his welcome fee.

Tips From congressman.

These places are not so profitable as
they used TO be. said a neatly dressed
and attentive cOlored waiter in the
house OF Representatives, the other
day, as he brushed an imaginary crumb
from the table and adjusted glass in
order to kill time and give OppOrtCni-
ty for a moments gossip. You see
that man over there-member of con-
gress and rich, too a? Well, do you
suppose he ever gives a fellow any
thing? Never. The average con-
gresham now is as close as the bark
on a tree. We very seldom get any
thing out of them. Why, years ago
these places used TO he very much
sought after. [ remember in my ex-
perience here that men holding places
here wouldn't exhange them for a gov
ernment position. But that isn't the
case now, not by a long-shot. If We
make 80 cents day extra we think
we are in big luck.
Who are your best customers now
Oh, strangers. We don't get much
from members nowadays. The visi-
tors from the east are the best. Some
times a lobbyist does something for us,
especially if we can do something for
him.
The members are not inclined to be
liberal then
No, indeed. There are few who
are, but they are very few. Now,
there's Mr.. Washburne of Minnesota !;
he is very liberal. He often comes in
and gets drink after the house ad-
journs or something like that and
hands out half dollar and won't
take any change back. That's very
clever, you know and gives fellow
chance. But he is an exception among
the western men, for they are most of
them very careful of their money.

The London Spectator has Just made a
discovery-nothing more nor less than
that London is the irst city in the world.
A French writer once said hat London
was a magnificent city if you could see it.
1t is impossible to get a bird's-eye view
Of London. The atmospheric conditions
are never such as to enable one to behold
it in all directions on a given day. Few
persons have any idea of the shape of
London. Paris is pear-shaped, with a
bit out of the North side. Our W New
York is an irregular parallelogram, aud
Vienna is not, from one point of view,
unlike a gridiron, handle and all
complete. But London has been built
and planned with the exterior irregularity
of a great hornets nest There is at
times a decent view of London to be had
from Hampstead Heath. From the
dome of St Paul's a good deal of the
city may be seen, but nothing like a com
prchensive view of the vast conglomera-
ton of spire and tower, of mansion and
factory. can be had; its endless and
hthomless miles Of masonry evade the
pencil of the sketcher and ara lost to the
lens Of the photographer.

lL4AllAOAa SoAA anti
Our American custom Of calling the prong
OF a fork d tyne Is a Lincolnshire popularity,
and came over with our fathers. The more
general word prong Is indeed driving IL out,
but a tyne Is understood in Lincolnshire
alone. The older men here distinctly remem-
Der the pronunciation of nature and creature,
natur and ~critter, just as they were pro-
nounced in New England fifty years ago.
Perhaps the most amusing Of these local pc
culiarities is tho old-fashioned Lincolnshire
way Of calling a cucumber a c~owcumber,
which the older readers OF The Courant will
promptly recall as common in their child
hood. SO, too, the quaint archaism which
many. OF US so well remember Of calling a
cow a caow, and a pound a paound, remains
in full force not only in Lincolnshire, but has
extended throughout England, and may be
called the accepted pronunciation of the
diphthong GU. 1 hear it not only in the
cathedral pulpits, but on the lips Of the shop
boys, 1t has survived In Philadelphia and
perhaps elsewhere with US, but it has mainly
been lnughed out OF New England.
But TO me the most interesting connection
between Lincolnshire and New England pro
annexation is the little word been 1t has
long been a wonder to me how and why that
word should be pronounced not only in New
England, but throughout the United States,
~ differently from what 1t is in England,
and all her many colonies. In England,
Scotland, Ireland, Canada, Australia, Nova
Scotia, South Africa, it is made 10 rhyme

try It Is made to rhyme with sin and din.
