He Filled the Void.

John Drummcnd, of the Richelieu hotel. is one of the best natured clerks that ever regis tered a guest or assigned room. He is popular and deserving, and Is great favor ite with the ladies, who he delights to honor with the true chivalry born of his Kentucky birth and education. The other evening a party of ladies and gentlemen were dining in the cafe of the hotel and John was intro duced to them One of the young ladies had beautiful black and tan dog with her, and John was remarkably solicitous for the diminutive canine's comfort.
 "What do you call himg" asked John.
 "Pug," said the young lady sweetly.
 "That's strange" said John. "Why, had young lady friend once who called me Pug"
 "How was that9" inquired the young lady.
 "Oh," said John with a smile, ''she once owned little pug dog that she loved more than anything else in the world. I was in- troduced to her when she was in sorrow for his loss. seemed to fill the aching void in her young heart, and she called me Pug for ever afterward. Pathetic story, isn't it4'
 And the young ladies all agreed that it was indeed very, very, pathetic. - Chicago Herald.

Marrying the House Servant.

Apropos of matrimony, a curious mania seems to have broken out dlnong the scions of our first families to marry the servants of the house. There have been half dozen cases during the last twelve months of these model examples of dudedom converting their mothers waiting maids into their mothers daughters-in-law. Only a few weeks since another case of this kind was reported In this instance the fortunate bride was the French maid of one of the best known women in society in New York. The son, be it said to his credit, although he Is @ de- cidedly sappy young fellow, professes an honest affection for his wife, and has posi- lively refused to allow his family to cast her off Between the fear of public scandal and the acceptance of daughter-in-law of such humble station the family have not hesitated. They have accepted the situation with the understanding that the son and his bride shall travel about the world for a year or two, until the odor of her inferior condition has blown away, when they may receive her on Sufferance.
 As rule these marriages do not end so happily The bride is generally bought off or forced into accepting a separation and divorce. Indeed, there was quite a row early last winter, occasioned by the refusal of a well known and opulent family of Knickerbocker antecedents to pay servant girl, whom their son had married, the amount promised her in consideration of her permitting him to be divorced The oldest part about these curious matches is the ease with which they are kept quiet. If the daughter of the house runs away with the | coachman, the papers will, to a moral cer- tainty, be full of it; but suppose superior | interest attaches to the eccentricities of the fair sex.
