AFRICAN BUTTERFLIES.
STANLEY Brought Some from the Dark
Continent to n New York Man

o'"niey brouSht Some from the Dark
Continent to II New York Man.
Berthold NcumoegeE, who died in
New York the other day, was noted as
an amateur entomologist and spent
over twenty years in forming remark
able collections of over one hundred
thousand rare and beautiful butterflies.
says the Newark Times.
This was his hobby and all his leis-
ure was devoted to improving the col
lection. There are but two known COL
lcctions in the world that excel in
variety and number the one gathered
by Mr.. Neumoegen. One is in the pos
session of the British museum, London.
and the other is in Paris
Ibis work was labor of love with
MI. Neumoegen, and he would spend
hours in room on the top floor of his
residence, which contains the collec-
ton, arranging and rcarranging the
oeautl1ul specimens of the insect world,
IN which he took SO much pride. He
generally kept in stock an immense
number of butterflies for the purpose
OF exchange, and these he kept apart
from his collection, not one of which
would he dispose of unless he felt GER
tain OF being able to replace it.
Butterfly collectors are continually
exchanging specimens and Mr.. Neu-
moegen kept two men employed in re-
ceiving and shipping specimens. The
largest shipment made by him was
eight years ago, when he shipped TWEEN
ty thousand butterflies to Europe.
Livingstone, the great African ex-
plorer, furnished Mr.. Neumoegen with
some OF his rarest specimens. Others
were furnished by Henry NJ Stanley,
Lieut. Schwatka and members of the
Greedy relief expedition. Among them
were'' butterflies from Franklin bay,
from the shores of Greenland. from
Lakes Tanganyil1a and Victoria Nyan-
"a, and from Labrador, Thibet. Alaska,
China, Siberia, Turlestan and KANT
.hatka and from the Himalayas and
Rocky mountains and the Alps.

Odd Incident of Wedding ut Indiana's
Gretna Green.


AS a Gretna Green, Jeffersonville,
Ind, is not only known in the state of
Indiana, but in Ohio and kentucky as
we'll. No town of it's size in either of
the states mentioned is, or has been.
more thoroughly advertised. Strangers
look upon the staid old town with no
degree of admiration, but rather regard
it curiously as a notorious matrimonial
center. Couples from distant points
arrive there every day in quest of lnatri-
mony. Some are gay, frolicsome, hap
py, and decided upon this mode of mar
riage for the romance there is in it.
A case wherein "hell hath no fury
like a woman's scorn' is told in the fol-
lowing: Some weeks ago, says the Chi
cago Times-Herald, there arrived from
one OF the most aristocratic sections of
Kentucky an elderly looking woman,
accompanied by a beautiful young girl
and well-dressed man, whose appear
ance Indicated that he was engaged in
some professional calling On their
disembarlSing from the ferryboat the
trio walked unconcernedly up the
wharf and on reaching the summit es-
pied Magistrate Rause's spacious mat
rifnonial parlors. They entered his
rooms and on being met by the digni-
tary he asked their mission. The elder
ly lady said that the couple with her
desired to be married. With this in
formation the squire was not loug Sc
curing the license and only few min
utes would be required to tic the knot.
When the contracting party was
asked to rise the girl demurred. The
squire again requested her to stand,
but she paid no attention to his request.
The man whom she was to wed en-
treated her to rise, but to no purpose.
Entreatles made by the old lady, who,
it was afterward learned, was the now
stubborn girls mother, proved futile.
AT this juncture the magistrate in
formed the girl that it was not compul-
sorry on his part to perform the wedding.
lie did not propose to depart from his
rule-that couples must stand during
the recital OF ceremony authorized by
the state Of Indiana for him to perform.
The girls obstinacy knew no
bounds. Magistrate Hause was about
to declare the wedding off, as far as he
was concerned, and SO informed the
parties interested. Suddenly the young
woman arose from her seat. Her voice
her air dramatic, she pointed
her index finger at the man she was
about to marry She told him that she
had given her hand to him after care
full consideration, but would marry him
against her wish. There was another
person OF no wealth whom she loved bet
ter, and would marry him if it were not
for the mother who reared and educated
her. Finally she announced to the
squire to proceed with the marriage.
When the magistrate reached that point
n the ceremony where he SAYS: ssDo
you take this man to be your lawful
welded husband?" the bride stood
and under no circumstances
could she be induced to say ives"
They were declared married. however.

way down to the wharf of the ferry
