COIIDN,r MARRY.

An old gentleman who lives in this city
called at the probate judges office yester-
day 20 procure the necessary document
which would permit him to the altar one
of Wichita's buaom widows. Upon being
Intercepted by the probate he could give
no information concerning the would-b
bride except that her name was Smith
As there are any number Of females OF
that name in town the judge declined to
issue a permit 80 vague. Accordingly the
old gentleman left with sad heart to
seek the necessary information of the
lady, promising to return for the docu-
ment in a short time, but up to the hour
Of closing he had not put in an appearance.

Character sketched Lii Hung Chang.

LONDON, Dec. 23.-The Chronicles Tien
Tsen correspondent has contributed long
and arle character sketch of the Chinese
statesman and general, Ii Hung Chang.
The sketch contains the following: ''The
viceroy's strength lies in his reticence.
He is strong because of his Office and
stronger still by self-concealment. The
whole court, even ambassadors, would fear
him as an enemy, although he might lack
powers. He is careful to claim he hates
foreigners; he merely uses them as a
means to an end. He picks their brains
and urges his subordinates to do the same.
He is true apportionist. He is regarded
as the leader of the revolutionary party
ever should occasion arise. He pretended
to have but little knowledge of European
languages in order thus 10 give him the
advantage over foreign diplomats. He is
supposed to be worth e10000,000 He is a
teetotaler, but has no belief in religion"
