A QUICK COURTSHIP.

How an Eccentric Illinois Farmer Woood
and Won His Wife.
Jacob Strawn, of Jacksonville, ILL.,, was
during his lifetime the largest farmer in
Illinois, and very eccentric man. The cir.
cumstances Of his marriage were as follows:
Outside of Jacksonville, a couple of
miles, perhaps, there lived quite a respect
able family. This family employed servant
girl. Graceful and neat in the extreme, and
possesslnga very fair share Of intelligence,
this girl was n match for whomsoever
might take her unto himself Jacob saw
this flower, and determined to possess it.
One day he rode up to the door of the resi-
dence of the fair maid, alighted from his
horse, and knocked with the butt end of his
whip. The lady of the house answered his
summons, and Immediately upon her max
ing her appearance, Jacob asked for the
servant girl.
The servant girl came. Jacob said:
II want wife and have picked you out
as the most proper person for that position
l can possibly find. I've never spoken to
you before, but then that makes no differ
ence. I'll give you one week to decide"
The girl blushed and was dumbfounded.
jacob mounted his horse and rode away.
The girl inquired into Mr. Strawn's charac.
ter and standing, and was advised by those
with whom she lived to accept the offer of
his hand. Functually, week later, Jacob
rodo up to tho door and knocked again with
his whip and asked:
us it no or yes2"
Blushingly the girl answered in q low
tone, but quite distinctly:
eyes"
"Well," said Jacob, "let's see we'll get
married the day after tomorrow, Wcdnes-
day. Here's some money to buy wedding
outfit" and he threw her purse contain
ing q thousand dollars.
The couple did get married on Wednes-
day, and no happier pair, during their life
time, was to DO met with in the State Of
Illinois.

go down ever 80 far after pennies
dropped from the deck of the ship,
which they always bring up in their
teeth.
They are fellows that know how
to use catapult. Whenever they
get their eye on bird, he may as
well chirp his death-note, for the lit
tie Hawaiian's aim is unerring. They
kill a great many of the bright-hued
songsters with which their groves are
filled, from which they adroitly
strip the plumage, leaving on the
heads and claws. Then they gil the
skin with cassia leaves, and sell the
bird to the European traders for a
few copper coins. A clever taxider-
mist stuffs the bird, and then he is
ready for some fine lady's hat, but by
the time she gets him he costs a good
many more dollars than tn poor lit
tie hunter had cents for him in the
first place.
There are funny little shaggy po-
MES in the islands. They are al
most as common as dogs, and the
little children ride them as fast as
they can go, yelling and laughing at
the top of their lungs. When night
comes they lie down wherever they
happen to be and sleep as soundly
as you do in your little soft
beds when mother tucks you in.
These children don't pay any at
tention to dinner time. When they
get hungry they gather some fruit
perhaps it is bread-fruit-and then
if they like they can hunt up the
butter plant and have that with it.
Just think of it! How would you
live to live in country where bread
and butter grow on trees-where
there are no clothes to bother with,
no schools to go to, nobody to make
you mind, no work to do, only just
play and do as you like all day.

IN answer to several enquiries con-
l. corning Whale Boat Frames, we
have now in course of construction,
3 Whale Boat Frames "a feet by 80 feet

requiring little tact to set them up and
build. The full frame for such boats,
including cants, 40 sections in number,
is sold at S2S; with large stems on keel,
and ready to plank $40. They are not
intended to be cinker built, nor as the
frail imported whale boats proper, but

lily, yet light withal, for fishing and
trading purposes. We have exported
these frames and intend dong so, and

CHICAGO has not gained in general
estimation by the revelations in the
Cronin case. No city can whose law
officers are conniving at the acquittal
of notorious criminals. 1t does not
seem, however, that Chicago is alone
in her naughtiness. The states at
torney at Denver has filed an affidavit
before the judge of the district court
alleging that no impartial jury can be
secured for a trial there in progress,
if the sheriff Is permitted to summon
the venire men. The affidavit asked
for bailiffs to do this work to the ex-
clusion of the sheriff and his depu-
ties. The request was granted. The
case is that of conspiracy to rob the
Denver and Rio Grande Express, and
the sheriff is charged with favoring
the acquittal of the prisoners.

SECRETARY BLAINE was as felici-
tous as usual in his address to the
delegates to the maritime conference.
His address was very brief and as
follows:
"Gentlemen-It is the cause of ex-
treme qualification to the government
of the United States that its invita-
ton to the maritime powers Of the
world has been met with 80 general
a response. Representatives from
Asia, from Europe, from North and
South America, and from the isles of
the sea will compose the conference.
On behalf of the United States / well
come you all, gentlemen, to the hon
orable, the scientific, the philanthropy
ic duties which lie before you. The
already great and rapidly increasing
interests between continent and con-
tinent, between nations. demands the
every protection against the dangers
of the sea, and every guard for the
safety of human life shall be provid-
ed. The spoken languages of that
world will con tinue to be many, but
necessity compels that the unspoken
language of the sea shall be one.
That language must be as universal
as the needs of man for conversation
with each other. Again, gentlemen,
I welcome you, and after your prelim-
mary organization is completed, it
will be my pleasure to present you in
person to the President of the United
States.
