CONSUL AMALICE VICTIM.
Carriage Team MANNED by Spaniards
in Paris.

Anderson, Ind, July 20.-Letters re-
ceived from Uncle jack Gowdy of
RushviIIe, consul at Paris, indicate that
he is having some little unpleasant
ness on account of the war. Most of
the French people are Spanish Sympa-
thizers and they lose no opportunity
to show their preference. He has,
therefore, concluded to take a vacation
and is making a visiting tour of other
countries in Europe, accompanied by
his wife, daughter and Finley MCGUIRE.
They were in Vienna when heard from.
Among other demonstrations on the
part of Spanish sympathiZerS one was
notable, inasmuch as his two Kentucky
thoroughbred horses, which he had
shipped to him, were MANNED, and their
long tails and names, in which he took
great pride, were shaved. The work
had been done one night, when his
RushvilIe hOstler was seeing the sights.
Gowdy and family are in the best Of
health.

their tribal relations.

made known to the old full bloods'' many

Securing e Lunatic.

In one of the. most fashionable dis tricts of Paris mock marriage was re- cently planned for the purpose of secur- ing a rather dangerous lunatic. An at- tractive young person named Mile. De- laplume was sitting in her boudoir the other day in 8 house situated in @ street of the, Boulevard St. Germain. Suddenly ring came to the door, and one of her servants, having opened it, ushered in well dressed man looking like a superior sort of valet. He told Mile Delaplume that he had a letter from one of her friends a countess, and as the young woman put her hand out to receive the missive the stranger seized her fingers pressed them to his lips, and then, sinking on his knees, made & passionate declaration of love and offered to marry her.
 Mile. Delaplume saw by the mans eyes that he was dangerously mad, and, fearful of 8 tragedy, she accepted his offer with apparent calmness. Then she invited the strange visitor to the may or's office in order to have the nuptial knot tied. The man accompanied her with alacrity to the establishment in question, where secretary, informed of the real state of affairs, pretended to read the civil marriage regulations. The mock bridegroom was then taken by detective to the police depot under the delusion that he was bound for a pastry cooks there to give an order fo, 8 sumptuous wedding breakfast. The man was, it appears, formerly employ. cd as a valet by one of Mile. Delap. lume's friends.-Paris Letter. n
