MAHMoUD DJELLADELLIN PAsHA. late
Minister of Finance to the Sultan of
Turkey, entered his recent Office prac-
tically penniless. Now he owns over a
quarter of million Turkish pounds,
which he obtained by a neat little
scheme worthy of an American boodler
of the advanced type. The Sultan has
been anxious to behead this Napoleon
of finance, but has been merciful
through policy. Djelladellin keeps his
head and two-thirds his fortune. The
other third of his money goes not to
his victims, but into the Golfers of the
genial Sultan.

CoLLEToN COUNTY, South Carolina,
is having remarkable weather expe-
rience. For fourteen months follow
ing the earthquake of August, 1886,
there was an almost continuous drought.
Streams and springs dried up, and
crops and cattle persisted for want of
water. A little over two months ago
rain began falling steadily in that sec
ton, and for fifty-seven consecutive
days there were only two upon which
it did not rain. All the low lands have
been turned into lakes, no crops have
been made, and the people are desti-
trte.

HER ATTRACTION.
She isn't very pretty,
And she isn't very wise;
She's anything but witty,
And t joke she never tries.
She knows she's rather stupid.
And keeps shady, as it were;
You would never dream that Cupid
Would essay shot at her.
If YOU start conversation
She can answer Yes" and NO.
But not a scintillation
OF wit will ever show.
When you try to make advances
Slow her answers are and curt,
And you waste your tender glances,
For she's far too dull to firt.
Still hear she has lover
Quick to sing her praise in rhyme,
Lager always, too. to hover
Close around her oil the time.
Do you wonder at devotion
Which SO groundless seems. yet whiei
Seems as houndless us the ocean?
Why, my simple friend. shes rlcn!

BLONDE AND BLACK.
Such Were the Facial Colors in New York
Wedding.

NEW NoRK, February Especial Last
evening something occurred in the tenth ward
which was enough to startle even the placid
German denizens OF that locality. The cause
Of this hubbub was tho celebration Of the nup-
tials Of Arto Shonyitch, n young German Of
the pronounced blonde type, to Belle Jackson,
buXom lass Of most ebony hue. The mar
riage ceremony was celebrated at Kramer's
hall, GO Essex street, which adjoins the cele-
brated Silver Dollar saloon kept by ox-Assem-
blyman Charles Smith.
The guests arrived at the hall about . go,
and were received with astonishment by mine
host Kramer, who had made all the arrange
mcnts for the celebration with the groom, he
naturally supposns the bride to be some rosy
checked German lass, and had never stopped
10 question her anteccdents. Great
was his surprise, when, instead
OF crowd Of solid Germans and thoir wives,
a company OF dusky gentlemen and their ladies
appeared, dressed in the latest style. IN the
midst OF them came Mr. Shonyitch, and lean
ing on his arm was large negro damsel She
wore the usual orange blossoms, and veil
covered her face. After everything had been
explained to Mr.. Kramer, he joined heartily
IN the laugh that arose at his surprise.
The festivities began with march, and then
came dancing. While the company were in
the midst of il scene occurred which was not
on the bill OF fare. 1t was the appearance Of II
poor, dccrcpit old woman in the barroom. She
was crying bitterly Mr.. Kramer, the pro.
prietor, succeeded in clcting the information
from her that she was the mother
of tho groom. She begged piteously
TO be allowed to see him and his
wife. She was brought in by rear way, and
was shown the bride through window. At
the sight of her the old woman tainted away.
After being revived she begged her son to
come away with her. lie refused to have any
thing to say 10 her and she was carried out.
In the midst of the excitement burly Ger
man insisted on forcing his way into the hall.
lie was hatless and coatless. lie claimed to he
the fosterfathero OF the groom, and threatened
to shoot not only the bride but every person in
the hall who could not Youch for being white.
The excitement was now intense, and loud
were the imprecatons heaped on the head of
tho intruder He made "A dash at the bride.
The woman tainted tho men yelled and all
through the hall you could hear murmurs of
"Cut him. " Silt his wien"
At last Tho man was elected from the hall,
quiet was finally restored, the festivities ter
minated peacefully, and Mr. and Mrs.
Schonyitch left ON their wedding tour.
