AN AMUSING WEDDING.
A St. Louis Man Who Was Married IN
der Adverse Circumstances.

A St. Louis Man Who Was Married I'm
der Adverse Circumstances.
About the funniest wedding on record
was that of friend of mine, a we'll
known St. Louis gentleman, writes 4
Globe Democrat correspondent. He
married a girl who was visiting a town
less than one hundred miles from here
His flancee visited st. Louis about 4
week before the wedding was to take
place. My friend learned that her
sister was preparing TO make the we'd
ding grand affair, and this he was op-
posed to. y license was obtained, and
that night he left the city with his girl
bound for the town she had been visit
ing. After the train started he asked
her if she was willing to get married
that night. She consented, and tele-
gram was sent from the next station
notifying her brother-in-law TO have
things ready. The telegram reached
there at ten O'clock and the couple at
eleven o'clock. Every one was excited
but the groom. The minister was pres
ent and ready for the ceremony. The
ladies were upstairs, and no one
seemed to think of my friend. He had
left the city hurriedly, had travelled on
a hot night, his shirt and collar were
soiled, he had no cuffs, his shoes were
unshined and he was badly in need of
a shave. He at last found tin basin
on bench in the back yard. He washed
and wet his hair, but, finding no brush
or glass, went to the parlor and forgot
all about himself. After the ceremony
was over his wife turned to him and
said: "Why, Charlie! You didn't comb
your hairT What makes it more funny,
is the fact that usually the gentleman
is very particular about his appearance.

4 Cruel Practical joke Played on an Un-

heard story the other day, says q
writer in Brooklyn Life, about the for
mer assistant rector of one of the
largest Episcopal churches in the city.
The gentleman in question Is now the
president of a college so far away that
he can not mind if relate the incident.
lie WIS jolly good fellow when he
lived in boarding house here, and in
his of hours was accustomed to join in
with the other good fellows of the house
at friendly game of whist or smoke.
One evening when he was out at serv-
ice two of the wags OF the establishment
remembered that it was his invariable
habit upon returning home to doff his
roundabout vest and clerical coat, put
on Al old smoking Jacket and encase his
feet in pair OF morocco slippers, which
latter always occupied the same posi-
tion on his bedroom floor, preparatory
to his coming. Accordingly, they firmly
nailed these slippers TO the moor, and
awaited results in the next room.
Presently the dominic returned
They heard him moving about; they
heard the thud of his shoes as they were
taken of and thrown down, and then all
was silence. They peelHed cautiously
in, and ehere beheld the young clergy
man standing in his slippers, his face
white as sheet and look of horror
upon it. his eyes staring straight ahead.
The light was too much for them, but
they managed to suppress their laugh
ter and ask in a tone of amazement what
the matter was.
Natter he gasped, "there is matter
enough, boys; I'm paralyzed, and can't
move hand or foot. For mercy's sake,
help nc"
The man did actually, such is the
force OF imagination, believe he was
paralyzed for a moment or two, but he
finally set 'em up, in manner appro-
pirate to his calling, by buying cigars
for the crowd

Tho Lobster's Queer Coat.

The she'll of the crab and lobster
owes its bluish-gray color to the super
position of two pigments or coloring
matters, which have been isolsted-a
red pigment and a blue one. AS long
SIS these two pigments exist simultane-
ously the crustaceans remain gray. But
the blue pigment is fugitive, and some
times, under the influences of disease,
it is destroyed, and crabs are found with
portions of their shell more or less
reddish When the crustaceans are
immersed in boiling water the blue pig
ment is entirely destroyed, and the red
pigment, which is very stable, appears
alone in all its brilliancy.

Western Farm Mortgages.

The farm mortgages in SIX OF our
States according to the Banker s
Monthly, are as follows Ohio, l..
I27, 100000; Indiana, $4,000, 900;
Michigan. 500. 200, 900; Wisconsin,
35s, 900, 900; Iowa, 567, 900; Kansas
235, 900, 900, or the enormous ag-
gregate of $2,421, OOO,OO0 held in
farm mortgages in SIX States. When
we take into consideration the i'm
mense amount Of anxiety, misery,
and dread of foreclosure that has
been crowded into the lives of the
army Of poor, who have been com
PEELED to mortgage their little
homes, we appreciate the urgent
need Of measurers for the brave,
struggling, but Sinking poor.
One Of the most important
features Of the present finan-
cial situation 10 the question
as to the intrinsic value Of Western
Farm Mortgages. New England
holds the bulk OF these mortgages,
although = few are held in New
York City and Philadelphia. Fully
90 per cent. OF the Savings Banks
deposits Of Vermont are invested
IN this class Of securities. Munich
pal bonds paying A to Al per cent.
In Maine, New Hampshire and
Vermont.cannot be placed, owing
to the craze Of those intending to
invest, to get the high rate of in
terest promised by Western farm
mortgages. In Massachusetts, the
Savings banks are prohibited by law
from investing in these questionable
securities, and it is q good thing for
their depositors that such is the
case. Several failures were report
ed last week, which could be direct
ly traced to this cause, and it can
be said without doubt that from the
present outlook there will be more
of them in the near future. Capt.
talists should examine carefully all
schemes that pertain to Western
farms, as the farmers now have
plan on hand to give mortgages on
their crops that irrigatian is going
to produce. According to their
statement the production of wheat
will be at least 100 bushels to an
acre when irrigated by their meth
cd, on land which at present will
produce nothing. Our advice is to
look well into these schemes be-
fore advancing any capital.
