A PaWued Bride.

A shilling used to be the fee, in New
York; for administering an oath and
signing an affidavit. In the days when
the eccentric .eDicky" Riker was re-
corder of tho city, there were many
bad shillings in circulation, and
"Dicky," to guard himself from being
cheated out of his fee, used to swear an
applicant for bis signature in this
style:
"You swear that the affidavit to which
you have subscribed your name is true,
to the best of your knowledge and be-
lief, and that this is good shilling, 30
help you God!"
A young justice of the peace, living
in Georgia, recently displayed as much
caution as the ancient recorder of New
York, for he held bride as security for
the payment of the marriage-fee. The
story, as told by the Atlanta Constitu-
tion, is amusing:
One of the most novel marriages in
the history of Norwood took place last
week. The applicants were lady and
gentleman of the ebony hue.
The young justice of the peace, who
is very conversant with the law, but q
little inexperienced in performing mar
riage ceremonies, proceeded to unite the
happy pair.
His face bore marks of excitement,
and, in nervous tone, he bade the two
Join hands.
This they did, joining, however, their
left hands, and were made one. The
joyous couple then proceeded to depart,
whereupon the following conversation
ensued:
J. P.-Where's my fee; you didn't
expect me to marry you for nothing, did
you?
Groom (excitedly)-W'y, boss, I
amt got . cent! How much do you
charge? I didn't know I had to pay for
marryin'.
here until you go and get the amount.
(Atthe same time bidding the blushing
bride to take her seat.
CROMWELL, I'll try to git it.
OFF he went to procure an order fir ON
bis employer, but, staying rather long,
the bride moved restlessly toward the
door.
"Take your seat" was heard in solemn
tones from the justice of the peace
She complied, but what her feelings
must have been can't be easily described.
However, the groom. returned in due
time, settled the bill, and took his
"pawned" bride home, wiser if not
better man.

The Fortunes of FREAKS"
From the Philadelphia times.

From the Philadelphia timos
Speaking of the savings of freaks OF
nature, prominent circus and muse
nm manager said recently: "They are
nearly all economical, and nine out Of
every ten are filled with q desire to
own a farm. Tom Thumb spent a
great deal of money, and yet left snug
fortune Millie Cristine, the double
headed GIRL has made 100000 or $75,-
600, but she lost the greater part of it
backing the circus of friend a few
years ago. I suppose she is still worth
100000. Hannah Battersby and her
skeleton husband, who live in this city,
are worth $4,000. John Powers, the
fat man, accumulated $4,000. Capt.
Bates and his wife, big people are
worth $50,00O. They have fine fam
in the west. If Lucia Zarete, the Mex
lean midget, had received all the salary
she earned for her manager, she would
be worth $25, GOO. AS it is the man
ager, Frank Ufner, has the money,
minus "a, 900 or SIS 900 he has paid to
Lucia's father. Eli Bowen, the legless
man, has 81, 900 in bank. Cooper, tho
giant, has nearly as mitch. The dime
museums have raised the salaries OF
freaks so much that they will all have
farms if the managers pocket-books
hold out"

On the BridQe,

Cen. Sh hsrman admires the Brooklyn
bridge. He spoke Of it CLOWN gly at
tho dinner of the N. E. Society in
Brooklyn.
"When I crossed that beautiful
bridge this evening, felt as though ]
were in some holy temple, for nothing
more majestic has the hands of man
wrought. Whether it pays two per cent.
or three per cent. or five per cent. in
terest is to me a mere nothing. The
mere thought, the mere conception of
the thought, is something SO pure and SO
magnificent that I would Danish all
ideas of profit.
Each time sit with my friend Gen.
Hancock on Governors Island, and
look across at the beautiful stream call
ed the East River mot river at all, but
an arm of the sea- and behold the lines
of proportion, strength and durability
of the Brooklyn Bridge, I admire it more
than the most beautiful pictures have
ever seen in the galleries of France,
Florence, or London"
