been divorced ?" repeated well-known

which the divorce was granted. follow
the scriptural injunction.
"By the way" he went on, heard OF
a rather strange marriage which took place
a few nights since. At house in the
northwest there was double wedding.
One of the couples were elderly and staid,
and the bride had been divorced for other
than scriptural causes. Her son was the
bridegroom in the younger pair. A Meth
odist minister, whom l won't name, but OF
whose church the old couple were men,
bers, was invited to perform the ceremonies.
"He promptly declined to officiate for
the divorced woman, but he would have
no objection to joining the young folks to-
gether The old people made no complaint;
they engaged the services of Methodist
local preacher, whose views on the subject
of divorce were more liberal than those OF
their pastor. A few evenings since the
two couples and the two preachers stood
up together in the same room. The two
services were read, and the SIX souls were
made happy; four of them because they
were wed, and two of them because they

FASHION NOTES.

All Paris has returned to the wearing o.
head-dresses which resemble small anc
very airy bonnets.
For day gowns wool is emphatically the
wear-and the directoire redingote the
favorite design for them
A tuft of silver-tipped white ostrich
feathers is a favorite hair ornament with
ladies anywhere between 80 and 80.
Corselets, with shoulder-straps, or else
narrow baby sleeves, are worn in great
numbers over half-high guimpes of crepe
lisse or silk muslin.
The slender effect now so much sought
in walking costumes is best attained by
wearing with them shoulder cape and
deep cuffs of heavy long tieeced fur.
A Partisan fancy for empire evening
gowns is four or five unhemmed skirts O
tulle, the uppermost one bordered with l;
rows of soutache braid, either gold, silver
or copper.
Striking toilets for young women ere
made of red cloth or red India camers
hair combined with white cloth and white
bengaline along with much gold or copper
cord and braid.
The hair may be high or low, at pleas
ure. Care must be taken, however, to have
it pronouncedly high or low, as the "mid
die extreme" is just now severely sat upor
by Dame Fashion.

han of our getting him. The bows fooled

than of our getting him. The boys fooled
away little while in making dashes into
the bushes until | got tired, and thought
that if the bear should come out he'd be
most likely to make a break for some small
timber about 200 yards away So over to
the edge of this grove l went, and sat
down at the foot of 4 tree on the edge.
Well, the bear must have gotten tired of
the yelling and noise, for presently saw
him poke his head out of the bushes on
the side toward me and opposite to the
rest of the men. Then his body followed.
and he set out in slow lope directly in
my direction. / got all ready for him, but
he had hardly gotten halfway when / saw
those two Greasers coming after him,
swinging those blamed ropes of theirs.
Pedro came up first, and when he was
within twenty feet he let drive, and the
moose settled right over the bears head,
around his neck. The little horse planted
his legs firmly, and when the tug came,
over went Mr.. Bear. Up he got, red hot
and as he lifted his paws to get the loop
of, Juan threw his lariat; around both OF
his paws 1t went, and being frightened,
there was the bear between two ropes one
choking him, and the other holding his
forelegs.
"As soon as the Mexicans found they
had him as they wanted they both jumped
from their saddles, and running up began
kicking the bear and hitting him with
sticks and up / got and walked over to see
the fun. When | got there | wanted to
shoot the bear, but no, they must torture
him little, until at last | told them to
kill him; and do YOU believe. instead of
doing it in Christian manner those imps
of Satan got out their pocket knives and
cut his throat 1t wasn't my business or I'd
have interfered, but presently down the
bear sank and soon was dead. have often
heard tell of men roping bear, but this
