IEax, She Got a Husband.

=
A somewhat romantic story, in which
well-known lady. whose first name is
Ucrmie. is the heroine, and 4 young man
named John is the hero, came 10 the ears OF
a Pittsburgh LPqder reporter. The lady
referred TO is now married. but at the time
the story opens, on last New Years eve,
She was a blooming maiden whose
affections, up till IL O'Clock OF the
night in question. were unpledSed
TO any person. The story goes, and
IT, authenticity is guaranteed by sub
seQuent occurrences, that the young lady
had remarked shortly before the Christmas
HOLIDAYS that any young man Of her ac-
ouaintance who. at Has O'Clock on the
night OF December 3lst, would make pro-
posai OF marriage 10 her, she would accept.
when she made the remark, in the hearing
Of one or two OF her acqualntances. she
wss under the impression that she would
never have 10 make good her promise, as
she had not the faintest idea that any per-
son would be visiting her house at
that time Of the night. The remark
made ly Miss iermie came TO the
ears OF two or ;hrce young men
from different sources. They did not
acquaint each other with their iRten-
lions, but they must have all been OF the
rffiit lntLu, ~ J.oO o CLOCK on the HFtElIs
M question found three Of the maiden's adj
mirers IN the parlor Of her home. During
casual conversation they had among
themselves they found they were all there
for the same purn0se-namely, that OF re-
naming till li:45 O'Clock, and then pro-
posing 10 the young hostess. She knew Of
this, and was IN a dilemma rs 10 how to act;
but plan occurred 10 her, and she
determined Il state il 10 the young
mn; 70 she arose IN their midst,
and, with a sweet smile MI the while, said
Gentlemen, am aware Of the object Of
your visit here, but as J can't accept all OF
your offers Of marriage, the best way you
can DO Is TO match pennies, and the win
ming one Is 20 remain here til the time
cou.es for making the proposal, which
said would accept" This plan was car
ried out, and John was the lucky one, and
at a quarter OF sn hour before the big bell
rang out the Old and in the New Year he
proposed, was accepted, and JUS! a little
ovsr two weeks ago John and Heimie were
married, the two losers Of the penny
matching zane acting as best men.

LoNDoN, August 25.-There i another
chance for a misunderstanding between
England and Germany in regard 10 West
African territory. On July 12th the Ger
mans took formal possession Of CimeroOns

among the English traders established
there, vino think that England should have
taken the river years ago. On july 2Jth
Mr.. Hewitt, The British Consul, held y
meeting OF merchants and local kings and
chief, Al Old Calablr. As result OF this
the kings and chiefs signed treaty placing
themselves and their dOmini0ns under
