A DIsMAYED BRIDEGROOM.
Seeking Refuge in Flight on Finding
That His Future Bride Was Gray
InNx

That His Future Bride Was Gray
Haired.
From, the Virginia CITY Chronicle.
Last Saturday Herbert Bristol, delivery
clerk employed in Crosby 81 Co.'S grocery
house, went to the depot on the arrival of
the V. and T.. express train and met IA lady
whose once lurid blonde hair had been
bleached by the frosts Of nearly 60 win
ters. He escorted her to q lodging house
on South A street, where he requested her
to tarry until his return. She waited in
vain until after nightfall, and growing
weary at the failure of her escort to mate
rialize, she dispatched messenger to the
store where he was employed to inquire as
to the cause of his detention.
The inquiry was met by the reply that
Bristol had departed on the evening train
for California. The venerable lady was
dumfounded on the receipt of this startling
news, and yesterday dispatched note to
the grocery firm requesting an interview.
David Gro by called upon the lady and in
answer to her anxious inquiries about the
levanting delivery clerk the lady was in
formed that he had drawn tho pay due him
from the firm Saturday, after the arrival
of the express train, packed his trunk and
departed without giving any satisfactory
reason for MS sudden decision to shake tho
st OF the comstock from bis shoes
This disclosure drew forth the following
confession from tie lady: She said she had
been corresponding with the delivery clark
for some m )nths. after answering aa a1vor-
tisement through the papers from person
representing himself as young man in
search of q wife. Tho clerk had agreed to
marry her, and she had come all the way
from Chicago to perform her part OF tIe
contract. Her perildious lover had met her
at the train, escorted her TO the lodgings
she was then occupying aud she had not
seen him since. After hearing of his alb
sconding she, Of course, realized that all
hope Of his marrying her WAS folly. The
lady said in conclusion that she was
wealthy, and owned real estate in Chicago,
for which place she departed last evening,
a sadder and in all probability a wiser
woman.
Acquaintance of the levanting lover ac-
count for his action on the ground that he
was struck dumb with amazslnent on dis-
covering that no had pledged bimsclf TO
marry silver-haired woman. old enough

The Meaning Of America.

The meaning of the name Amerigo has
often been discussed, the only thing GER
tain being that it is one of those names of
Teutonic origin, like Humberto, Alfonzo,
Grimaldi. or Garihaldi, so common in
northern Italy, which testify to the Gothic
or Lombard conquest. Americ, which
occurs as early as IA A. d., is probably
q contracted form Of the name Amalaric,
borne by n king Of the Nisigoths, who
died in 531. A Bishop Enrich was
present at the council Of Salisbury In S07,
and an Americas Balistarius is mentioned
in the Close Rolls Thirteenth century,.
1t has been ~conjectured that the stem
is i'm, from which we get the name Of
Emma. The meaning Of this is not
known with certainty, though Ferguson
thinks it may denote '~'strile' or ''noise."
Since, however, the name is probably Of
Gothic origin, and since the Amalungs
were the royal race of the Ostragoths, it
is more likely that The stem is anal,
which was formerly thought to mean
without spot" but is now more plaus-
IDLY connected with the old Morse ami,
''labor, " work" The suffice ric, cog
nate with rex, reich and rick, means
erich" or powerful" and therefore the
most probable signilication of Amerigo is
''strong for labor. Isaac Taylor in

Something About 'zan.e currauts."

The word currant is said to be a cor
ruption Of Corinth. a city from which
once came all the Greek currants. The
c~urrants, commonly called zante, are
neatly ~raisins, produced from a grape that
grows no larger than peas, like the
American wild or fox grapes, and hangs
in punches only three inches long. These
grapes are dried in the sun, and then
stored in bulk. where the sugar that
exudes from them makes them into
masses SO compact that they have TO 10
dug apart by force when wanted. They
are prepared for shipment by being put
into casks and packed into a solid mass

Made Her Feel az Home.

A lady from Nebraska was the guesto OF
a Pittsburg family. As the Thermometer
only touched zero once during the winter
the fair stranger would have been home

host. BY an ingenious arrangement n
powerful fan drove snow dust in her face
every time she opened the front door. Tho
snow was banked against tie windows u(

initiated the roar Of a blizzard, and 50
