Jus: Like White People.

Last Monday evening, at the Friends church, Rev. Replogle performed the marriage ceremony, uniting two foud hearts that beat beneath two dusky breasts. The contracting parties were Sam Goldstein and Susie Marshall. This is not Sam and Susie's first exper- fence in the way of welded bliss, for they have been united after the blanket style for about ten years. But, when they learned of the superior advantages of the white mans marriage ceremony, they made up their minds to begin all over again, and hence the above men toned ceremony.
 The groom wore the conventional suit of black and the bride was arrayed in a pink and white gown, with long white veil and crown of flowers. She has passed the age of blushing maiden modesty, and seemed to enjoy the per formance even more than her grinning husband.
 However, Bro. Replogle was very much in earnest in the matter and per formed his part with much gravity. There is no one thing that has more degrading influence on the natives than their utter disregard of the marriage ties. The good brother seeks to inau- gurate change in this respect and has been in great measure successful.
 After the ceremony wedding supper was served by MT. Alex Smallwood that would have done credit to an occasion of much more social importance.

lie Celebrated.

John O'Lean is Scandinavian by birth, but perhaps by reason of his name he considered that St. Patrick's day was day of all days to be cele- brated. Now in order to celebrate St. Patrick's day in real old Irish style, two things are necessary-a jag and black eye. O'Lean got both of these things in short order, but was still not satis- fled. He went down to the Treadwell boarding house, and going up to the kind hearted Mr. Mackie, he asked him to examine bis bunged eye and see if it would ever return to it's normal size. Now Mir. Mackie don't claim to be au- thority on black eyes, but his sympathy was immediately aroused aud he began a close inspection of the injured orb, which was rudely interrupted by a quick, vigorous blow in the neck ad- ministered by O'Lean. This closed MT. Mackie's career as an eye specialist and he withdrew from the field with good deal less faith in one class of humani- ty. But MT. OLean was still in the mood to celebrate and he made wild dash into the kitchen where he almost scared the Chinese cooks into fits. Here, however, he found something that agreed perfectly with the proper celebration of the day It was nothing more nor less than an axe handle, but to MT. O'Lean's one good eye it looked like an Irishman's shelahla. Seizing this in his hand, he uttered whoop that would have been highly appreci- ated in the good old days of the Emer- aid Isle, and cleared the house. But now, while his eye still remained the same, his jag began to diminish and bitter thoughts began to rise up in his think tank. The fun of the celebration faded away and the stern realities of life caused him to grow sick at heart and weary of life. The cold waters of the bay seemed to offer way of escape. He waded out from the shore until the icy liquid filled his pants pockets, and then with sigh for past memories, he attempted to surrender his life after the manner in which some preachers administer the rite of baptism-by re- peated immersions. He was rescued by some of the spectators and Judge Howell's stern sentence-S20.OO and costs, closed the otherwise happy iu- cident.
