The Two EmnerOrs.

IscHL, August emperor Francis
Joseph gave an audience to-day to Tisza,
Prime Minister for Hungary. He then
visited the Emperor of Germany, and the
EmperoS were together half an hour.
Later Emperor William gave an audience
to Tisza. The Emperors then dined to-
gether. Tisza and Count Bedenoyich,
Minister for Croatia and Slavonia, were
also present at the dinner. The Emperors
drove to the station together, and Emperor
William left at o'clock. They embraced
and kissed each other repeatedly before
parting. There were ovations everywhere.

A New Way of Giving Girl the Shake

We are reliably informed-two fair, truth
full young ladies being the informants-
that one day this week gallant (?) young
man 1--WE do not say that he is an attache
of the Chronicle Office went up to the
mountains ON a berrying excursion, taking
his best girl with him. During their
search for huckleberries it appears that the
couple became separated and did not hap
pen to find each other up to the time that
the sombre shades of evening suggested a
Journey towards the safe and peaceful re-
treats of home, sweet home. Instead of
lingering and searching around the base of
the romantic mountains the young, unsen-
timental swain mechanically hitched his
steed to the carriage and drove home, leav-
ing his Dulcina, so far as he knew, to the
mercy of the wild beasts or the hospitality
of the mountain glens. Luckily, the young
lady, on ascertaining that she was lost in
the woods, had struck out in a beeline for
home, which she reached before her gal
liant (?) escort arrived in the city. 1t is
reasonable to infer that this particular
twain will never be one flesh in the subse-
quent futurity.

SONG OF THE RAILROAD SAND.
WICH.

! come from mystic, hidden haunts,
I'm set forth as a ration;
I'm found in all the restaurants,
At every railroad station.
By hugry men I'm swiftly seized
And held between their fingers;
And when their teeth and tongues I've teased
My mem'ry ever fingers.
I'm harder than old Pharaoh's heart,
And tougher far than rubber;
| often make the tear-drops start,
And cause strong men to blubber.
/ know not if I'm made of stone,
Or only gutta-percha,
But, like pill, ] make men groan,
Though I'm no liver seacher.
Where er an engine leaves the track,
Like some high circus jumper,
They wedge me in between each crack,
And use me for bumper.
The baggagemen may shatter trunks,
And Sampson-like may silver
A Cast-iron chest right into chunks,
But me they cannot shiver.
Not cen goat on me can browse,
Or my tough form dissever;
I'll hie me TO boarding house,
Where ] shall live forever.

Butte Inter Mountain, 9TH.
From a gentleman who arrived in Butte
last evening from Anaconda we learn that
a stabbing affiay, quite serious in its ma
ture, occurred in that burg Tuesday even
ing. 1t seems that George Miller and an
other party, whose name we are unable to
learn, had been drinking quite freely in
the brewery. A discussion arose and
words led to blows. In the melee Miller
was stabbed eight times He II ceived five
digs in the back. one in the leg, one in the
hand and one in the face. The party who
did the stabbing made his escape and was
last seen at Silver Bow, probably making
for Butte. Millers wounds are not con-
sidered serious.

once witnessed lively contest in this
respect between him and Judge Butler
at Anderson. The Judge remarked that
he had seen more drunkenness at Abbs.

ever saw at Edgefield. Mr. Burt observed
that there was this difference, however
"ln Edgefield the gentlemen got drunk
but in Abbevile they did not" Judge
Butler quickly replied: II did not know
that you had s-y gentlemen at Abbeville
to get drunk" Mr.. Burt felt that the
sarcastic retort was excusable and said
nothing in reply.
With all his good sense and sterling
honesty, Mr. Bust had spice of affec.a.

we were seated at the dinner table in
Columbia with Judge Huger, when q

curiosity and said, perry, what kind OF

years before him. They never had any
children, and at his death Mr. Burt wus
without relative in the State. At the
close of the war, President Davis aud his
lady were lodged with Mr.. and Mrs. Burt
in his fine residence ut Abbeville. It
was said that the Union army would

years older than you are."

her and asked her 10 marry him
She finally consented 10 do So HIS
daughters suspected that he was CORE

them followed him constantly wherever
he went, and succeeded IN preventing him
from writing to his Intended for more than
two months. He then obtained access to
u friends office, where he wrote To NJ lss
Holder aud told her tho situation. Last
spring he sent for her tO come To fortVille.
She did So, and they were secretly married.
Living apart and never being seen together,
no one suspected that they were married
until last April, when Courad's daughter
discovered the fact by accident. With the
aid of their brothers they imprisoned the
old mau in his house, aud induced him to
assign all his property to his eldest son.
Conrad has been kept under lock aud key
ever since. Last week his wifc, whose
supplies had thus been cut of, went to
the house and demanded her husband. HIS
children attempted to eject her from the
house, whCreupOn she drew revolver and
declared thu she would have her husband.
An officer was sent for, and charge OF
