Popping and Flopping.
How They Referred a Question Of
Marriage TO Providence.

MoTIlAR0 GIOViuCuGGs
In the days when Congressman John
d. Long, of Mass. went courting, his
inamorata was not entirely free from
the tinge of superstition which possess
ed almost everybody, that is, she didn't
care to spill the salt. or sit with thirteen
at the table, and all such innocent di-
versions. Withal, she was the most
charming aud cultured of ladies. Well.
after John had burned the old mans
anthracite for the usual two years and
escorted the young lady to the conven-
tional number of husking bees and
phantom parties, he mustered mp cour-
age(he was awful bashful in those days)
to get down on his hunkers and pop the
question.
''Do tell, John,'' said the fair one.
$50 you want me to wed ?"
"You betl" said the future legislator.
"Wa'al, meow. John ,splicin' is one of
the solmnest things that one kin dew
"It needs two, "interposed the embryo
husband.

Cunningham. Examination.

LONDON, February 0.--The further
examination of James G.. Cunningham
and Harry Burton, charged under the
explosives act with conspiracy in cans
ing the malicious explosion at the Tower
of London on January Oath last, was
begun to-day at the Bow-Street Police
Court. The courtroom was crowded
with spectators, but no unusual demon
stration was made. Mr.. Guilliam,
counsel for Cunningham, was permitted
TO have an interview with his client
before the latter was brought into court.
Harry Burton declined the services
of counsel, and said he would de-
fend himself. Mr.. Poland, Solicitor
for the Treasury, opened the case
for the Crown. He created n SEN
sation by Immediately announcing
that he would withdraw the charge of
conspiracy and substitute that of high
treasor--felony against both prisoners
jointly under the new indictment. The
Solicitor for the Treasury proceeded to
state in detail the testimony which the
Crown would produce to sustain the
charge of high treason-felony against
the prisoners. In doing this Mr.. Po-
land, of necessity, repeated the history
narrated at the former examination of
Cunningham on Monday last and at
that Of Burton on Thursday.
