He was a Little Rusty.
From the Boston Record.


A wedding took place IN a suburban town
where the lady was the widow OF an under
taker. and the man-twice a WidOwer-a
doctor and apothecary by profession and
trade. The ceremony took place in q little
church just across the street from the shop of
the bridegroom. Everything went well until
that point In the ceremony is reached where
the minister asks if there is any reason why
the marriage shall not be made In the mo-
mentary pause the bridegroom, without any
explanation, rushed from the church, but
before the others were able TO take in the
supposed situation he reappeared in breath
less state and sSid: "Ohi 20 right on; 1 Just
remembered had not locked up the store and
went to do it," Order was restored. and the
ceremony went on until the minister asked
for the ring. The bridegroom looked puzzled
for an instant, and then began a search
through his pockets, remRrking TO the m mis-
ter by way OF apology for the delay: Pm a
little rusty, you know"

Great Pig Sticking in India.
From the 81. .Tq,nss' Gnsetts.


Seven members of the Ruugpur Tent Club
met on May for days pig sticking, when
no fewer than thirteen bears were killed,
SIX being disposed of before breakfast. Pigs
turned out so fast that many could rot be fol-
lowed for want Of sufficient riders. On three
occasions. while one boar was being ridden a
fresh one broke out of the grass, and, without
provocation, followed up and charged into the
nearest rider. Most of the bOars died hard,
and there were some exceptionally hne ones
among them. There was one particularly
plucky rush by a wounded boar to the
tusks of one of the beaten elephants. One
horse was badly wounded, and three others
came down, throwing their riders, who had
all narrow escapes of being cut mp,

Mr.. Merrick's Death.

Mr.. Richard T. Merrick who died in
Washington yesterday had many friends
in the South. He was native of Mary
land, and was about 81 years Of age. He
was man Of marked ability and stood
very high at the Washington bar. He
was deservedly popular. Honest, straight
forward in his dealings and very courte-
Gus in his manners, he made friends rap
Idly. His connection with the star route
trials as one Of the counsel fOr the govern.
mept made MIN well known throughout the
whole country. His extraordinary labors
in those trials, in connection with the
work he was compelled to do TO keep up
his private practice, was too much Of "a
burden for him. Under the strain his ap-
pearance changed rapidly. In very few
months the marks Of age became very no.
ticeable. When Mr.. Cleveland was form
ing his Cabinet Mr.. Merrick was promi-
nently mentioned for Attorney General.
Washington has lost a good citizen and a
distinguished lawyer.
