Sic. Mong Re-captured.

Last Saturday night Constable w.
A. Connolly Of East Hickory deliv.
cred Sic. Mong over to Sheriff Sawyer,
who once more turned the keys on him
in the county bastile, from which he
made his escape with his father, Aquil.
la MoDg, little over two months ago.
In the evening in question Mr.. Con-
nelly got wind that Sic. would be in
Hickory and lie made up his mind
that he would capture him. He &C.
cordingly laid his plans and secured
the services of Harvey and Robert
Lynch, couple of Hickory's most
"sandy" and nervey boys. Between
ten and eleven o'clock Mong stepped
up on the porch of Henderson &
Seigwortb's store, when the two Lynch
boys seized and held him, after Sc.
we're struggle of few moments. The
Constable, who had placed himself in
readiness, came forward and put the
bracelets" where they would do the
most good, and securing rig brought
the prisoner safely to town and placed
him in the custody of the Sheriff.

Cnriosiiies of Marriage.

Goethe said he married to obtain re-
spectability.
Wycherly, in his old age, married
his servant girl to spite her relations.
The joining of right hand in ancient
times had the solcmnity and validity of
an oath.
There is a story Of man who got
married because he inherited four
post hedstead
Giving a ring is supposed to Indicate
the eternity OF the union. seeing that a
circle is endless.
A man got married because he had
bought n piece OF silk cheap at sale
and wanted wife to give il to.
Under the Roman empire marriage
was simply civil contract; hence we
read of men putting away their
wives.
Among the Jews the rule was for n
maiden TO marry on the fourth and a
widow on the fifth day OF the week
not earlier
In Jewish marriages the woman is
set on the right, but throughout Chris
tendon her place in the ceremoney is
on the left
In Roman marriage the bride was
purchased by the bridcgsoom's pay
ment of three pieces OF copper money
to her parents.
The Russians have story of a
widow who was so inconsolable for the
loss OF her husband that she took
another TO keep her from fretting her
self TO death.
The custom OF putting veil upon
the maid before the bctrothal was done
to conceal her bushes at the first
touch of the mans hand and at the
closing kiss.
Kissing the bride the moment the
marriage ceremonial ended. though not
now prescribed by the rubric of the
Western churches, formerly was an i'm
perative act on the part of the BRIDE
groom.
The early marriage ceremony among
the Anglo-SaXons consisted merely OF
Misunderstanding, or taking each other by
the hand, and pledging each other love
and affection in the presence OF friends
and relatives.
An old adage thus lays down the prop
or days for wedlock:
MONDAY for wealth, Tuesday for health.
Wednesday for the be Il day or all:
Thursday for crosses. Friday for losScs
Saturday no luck at all.

A Scarf-pin i'm His Throat.

Men generally wear their scarf-pins
in their neclSties, but California boasts
of man who has carried such an
article OF jewelry in his throat. When
pulling u tramp off the cars at Ma
deira, Fresno county, in April last,
Daniel Anseon, a brakeman. was shot
in the neck by the tramp. The wound
ed brakeman was sent to the railroad
hospital at Oakland, where the bull ct
was extracted. He was discharged AZ
cured three weeks ago. The man.
however, always felt an unpleasant
sensation in his throat. Recently he
returned TO the hospital for relief
The doctor reopenel the wound and
found therein a section OF the silk
necktie worn by Anseon at the time
of the shooting and fragments of his
scarf-pin. These were removed and il
is expected that in II few days the man
will be twisting brakes again.

The Warder was not however, quite
accurate in his assertion, for the clergy
man who entered the cell was not the
regular chaplain Of the goal, but the
curate of a neigh bOring church, who
was visiting the prisoners while their
usual pastor recruited himself at the
seaside.
The prisoner stood up and faced his
visitor. who shut the door behind him.
As soon as the sheep got a fair look at

of his scheme.
