Tuesday evening, Nov. %. at Har-
per's theatre, Miss Annabella Quack-
enbush, of Denver, Col, will call to
order the international convention of
spinsters, and Immediately thereafter
Miss Humility Louise Malburger, from
Bingen on the Rhine. will call the
roll. 1t is said that the present gath
ering will be for the purpose of dis
cussing aud solving the great ques-
tions OF the day, but side viii 1per
has it that the spinsters have heard of
the wonderful rejuvenating machine
of one Prof. Blinkensop, of Great
Ideas, Boston, and that they are com
ing to test it's merits. Ifit is as good
as its reputation. the great and burn
ing questions of the day may go to
grass or settle themselves so far as
the spinsters are concerned. blight
here it may be timely tic say some
thing about this marvellous invention
Prof. Blinkensop has contrived ma
chine not unlike a great coffee mill in
appearance, but manifestly more
wonderful in its results. Any old
maid may express desire for youth,
beauty and accomplishments. jump
into the chopper and come out a
sparkling maiden flush with the bloom
of youth. This may be too marvel
Gus to be generally believed. but we
have authentic adyices to the effect |
that Prof. Blinkensop is now on his |
way to Rock Island with his rejuven-
ator and all skePtical persons may see |
