The BRIDEGROOM Knew the Law

Monday morning Magistrate Fulmer was
idly reclining in his judicial chair, when q
blushing and smiling couple entered the
Office and requested him to unite them at
Hymen's altar The indissoluble band was
forged, and the magistrate was about to
write out the marriage certificate, when he
broadly limited at the propriety of fee.
"Oh, that's all right" said the new hus-
band, slipping bill into his benefactor's
hand with a grand air
The judge cast a stealthy glance at the
greenback, and found, to his horror, that
its denomination was one dollar
This ain'tenoughr' exclaimed he "Un.
less you plank down four dollars more !
won't fill out your marriage certificate"
you can't bluff me-" returned the
groom. II don't care about the certificate,
anyhow am married now and you can't
unmarry me. So long"
And with that he and his bride made
their way into the street.
Magistrate Fulmer still holds the certif-
cate, and he declares that the additional
four dollars is the only thing that will in
duce him to part with it, for, he says, five
dollars is the standard fee, and he is be-
coming tired of these lone dollar grooms,"

A Sultan's Wife,

The favorite wife of the sultan was once
poor girl, living in the coal mines OF
France. She was beautiful girl, as she is
now a beautiful woman, and some char
table person found her occupation in a
famous dressmaking establishment in
France, where her superior intelligence soon
made her the madame's most valuable as
sistant, and she was sent to CONSTANT
nople with dresses ordered by the sultan's
mother. Nothing more was heard of her
for many years, until little inheritance
was left to her by relative, and notices
were published asking for her whereabouts
In answer to these notices wonderful
equipage, escorted by mounted eunuchs,
stopped at the door of the embassy, and
the sultans only legal wife stepped down
to declare herself the once Flora Collin
and renounce the legacy in favor of her
kindred, who are still poor. 1t was the
old story of love at first sight between the
sultan and the beautiful modiste Paris

In Rome wills were unknown before the
enaction Of the laws of the twelve tables,
and subsequently no one but a Roman citi.
zen was competent to make will, or wit
ness it, or inherit under it. Sometimes the
Roman testator wrote the whole of his
will with his own hand, and it was then
called "holographum, but generally a
lawyer was employed to draw it up. Who
ever wrote anothcr's will, whether he were
lawyer or not, was forbidden to write down
any legacy for himself, aud the entire in

that two of the jurors were for acquittal,

evidence is very strong many persons

white neighbors of completely in a hog
stealing case and they went in a body
one night to his house for the purpose of
correcting or lynching him. He warned
them off from his house. and on their

to enter the jail and lynch him, but the

The crowd was determined to avenge

his sentence, when they had him arrest

discharge. Upon his arrival in Clai-
