Very funny are some of the expert

Graft recently, When asked what par.
ticular experience had called forth the
remark, he SAID;

man, well known in this town, accom-

was naturally very much surprised at
their hurry, | was also curious to
know how they would explain their
haste to their friends and relatives.
But that was no business of mine.
Everything was in order and I commit
ted the deed.
II was enjoined to secrecy and so was
my wife, and have never yet breathed
a word of that ceremony, But now
comes the story.
"A short time after the marriage in
my little parlor / met the young hus.

told me that his wedding was fixed for
a certain date, about two weeks ahead,
and that he expected me to perform
the ceremony. thought he was wan
dering in his mind, and reminded him
that he was already tied up as tight
as the ordinances of God and the laws
OF California could tie him. He only
laughed and said that the other little
affair was all right as far as it went.

WHO ANIMALS Less RARE.

DAYS Of sailing Vessels.

DAYS of sailing Vessels.
According to Mr.. Jamrach, the dealer
IN wild beasts. the competition for rare
animals is not so keen as ii was once
upon a time. In former days he has
had TO send all the way to Lizard to
intercept ships with animals on board
and the men would hang about there
in all weathers in open boats, some
times for twelve or fourteen days. No
animals are rare nowadays in the same
sense that they used to be. Steamers
are arriving every day from all parts,
and the moment an animal or any for
eiCn product becomes rare, 1t becomes
worth the while Of some seaman TO take
the trouble 10 bring it over, II wa
different il the days Of the sailing
ships. when so long a period as six
months would lapse after one came in
before ii could be expected that another
would arrive from the same country.
To a correspondent of CasSclIs Satur-
day journal Mr.. Jamrach has been tell
ing some of the secrets OF his strange
trade. His father, he says, once bought
a mummy which was examined by Mr..
Bartlett and Frank Buckland. 1t waf
discovered that there was a rafting
sound inside It, and Mr.. auckland
wanted to open it, as the Egyptian
kings, he said, used to have their tyeas-
ures wrapped up and embalned with
them. 10 pull the mummy to pieces,
however, would ruin it, and perhaps it
would be found that there was no treas
ure at all. They all three agreed to go
shares in the venture, and to risk the
destruction. When the mummy was
opened it contained nothing more val
liable than dried Up pieces OF the inte-
rior. Among Mr.. Jamrach's customers
is the prince of Wales. who has bought
pets from him, but his principal trade

while my assistant was getting tho

that he turned his attention to the
silent man sitting in the low arm
chair, Now, a first-class drummer will
accost any stranger with the most
suave lack Of ceremony.

he would ask the question in a barber
shop. FRIEND replied very gently
in the affirmative. ''S'pose ri have. to
wait until you get your own 'phiz' i'm

Then he produced a cigar, bit off the
end and searched his pockets for a
match.

clined the proffered cigar, but rendered
the match.
Then the drummer bleated on, allow.
ing the stranger time only for an oc.
casional monosyllable remark. It
happened to be in the autumn of 1884.
just before the presidential election.
Il tell you, old man. Blaine won't get

imposter, the most gigantic fake in u
