There are some things few men can resist. ' One of them la buying from a feminine book peddlor a book he don't want lie la conscious of having a mall library of good books at home; he believes he has some taste In literary matters ; he can Illy afford to throw away the price that la asked, but In spite of the prudent conclusion to which his logic Inevitably conducts him, his gallantry as an American proves too much for him, and he shells out the stipulated sumps. Yonr feminine book peddler Is Irre sistible, In the same sense that the widow was irresistible who watted on the un just Judge. Yon listen to her because of her Importunity. Yon don't want her book and you are not pleased with her manner, II er "cheek" la offensive to yon, and the habit she has of smuggling herself Into yonr private editorial apartments and buttonholing you alone in your den Is highly exas perating. She generally belongs to that class or people who would have one believe they have seen better days. Certainly her clothes have. The New York species are extremely pertinacious. The female book-peddler of Gotham carries round with her a little subscription-book, In which the requests the names of editors after having worried from them gratuitous notices. The name once given means two dollars down, and unless yon broadly state that you desire to be left alone she will talk to yon for an hour at a time. If she la young and you are young, of course your fate la doubly sealed, for your gal lantry is goaded to the point of desperation by the spectacle of a good-looking woman in distress. At any rate, It la a paying business for the woman and a losing business for yon. Mam end Wife. As a pleasing example of how parties are occa sionally made man and wife, take the following in cident, whloa happened in this city only a day or two ago. It has been erroneously stated that the ceremony took place at French's Hotel, whereas it was celebrated at the Fifth Avenue, and In one of the most stylish parlors there. Ia the morning of that a ay a well-dressed stranger entered a certain notorious drinklng-saloon not a honored miles from that hotel, and, after taking a drink, asked the bar keeper whether ke knew of any one who would do a quiet piece of business and keep dark about it, on condition of being well paid. The bar-keeper, after easting about for a little, said he thought he knew Just such a person, and In a few minutes produced his man, of whom the stranger took a prolonged survey. This was evidently satisfactory, for the . two men put their heads together, and the stranger explained that he wanted some one to personate a clergy man and perform a marriage ceremony, and that he would give fifty dollars to have the work done well. The Individual who proposed to assume the char acter said he thought he should give satisfaction, and proposed to be known as the Rev. Mr. Smith, lie further explained that he must have a clerk to assist him, and that the clerk would be ten dollars extra. To this also the stranger assented, and Mr. Smith having found his accompllce.all three repaired to the bar of the Fifth Avenue Hotel and took Scotch ale, absinthe, and pony brandy. They then went upstairs to a room on the third floor overlook ing Madison Square, the stranger on his way np presenting Mr. Smith with a Prayer-book, and In forming him that he wished him to perform the ceremony of marriage between him and a woman with whom he had been living two years, but who had grown scrupulous since the McFarland Richardson denouement. Mr. Smith was obviously not playing a villain's part for the first time. He did not appear taken by sur prise, bnt promised that he would perform his duties satisfactorily. They then entered the room, where a pale, beautiful lady was sitting, with a pro fusion of blonde hair, and an anxious expression on her features. "This Is the lady," said the stranger. The lady bowed, so did the two villains, and the marriage ceremony proceeded. After it was over the stranger handed Mr. Smith thirty dollars, har lng already given him half the stipulated snm before the ceremony commenced, when the bargain was first struck. Next morning man and wife departed for the West, and are supposed at this present moment to be in Indiana. Dlameed Dentistry. It Is rumored that an extravagant fashion has been Invented by certain madmen in the uppermost circles of society, who have more money than they know what to do with. This is none other than that of having diamonds set into one's teeth i I have heard of teeth being likened to a row of pearls be forebut I never imagined that dental Jewelry would become a mere matter-of-fact, I suppose the girl in the fairytale who dropped diamonds from her mouth whenever she talked must have resorted to some such artifice as this. The settings got loose and the jewels dropped out. ' One of Her Own Bex. Virtuous women are not always remorseless against those of their sex who are imprudent Mrs. Richardson, for Instance, has plenty of friends amongst good and noble women. I myself have heard one of the purest women and brightest writers In New York plead strenuously with a prominent editor in defense of that unhappy woman, and beg him not to lift his pen against her. This fair pleader bad never aeen Mrs. Richardson, and knew nothing about her but what she had read in the newspapers, but she believed in her Innocence and purity, and felt that even were she as bad as certain organs ' tried to make her out, she had Buffered sufficiently to compensate for It alt Nor was the pleader's voice v lifted in vain, for before she left the newspaper office the cynical man of the pen had relented and pro mised that for that day at least nothing should be said against that imprudent but unhappy woman. Decoration Day. Strange as it may seem, there are some people who disapprove of the solemn observances of Deco ration Day, and would, if they could, scratch the 80th of May from the category of publlo holidays. They affect to believe that the Interest manifested is not deep and vital ; that it is merely the occasion for floral trifling and flirtation. Let such cynics say what they will, the fact remains that Decoration Day has struck its roots deep and wide throughout the community. Magnificent preparations are making in this city for its observance. There will be solemn music and the distribution of the fairest and moBt expensive flowers the season furnishes, and there Is not a graveyard where a soldier lies burled but what will be wreathed until it sends forth heavy breaths of fragrance. City Hall Park. They have commenced beautifying City Hall Park. They have dug np about twenty square feet of earth and laid it out beautifully to dry. This comprises the amount of horticultural labor that has as yet been bestowed upon that paradise. Meanwhile the sidewalks are soaked with mud, and the pedestrian picks his way with fear and trembling. The TaantiT. The theatre known aa Tammany has undergone a reform. Cigars and drinks have been banished and the stands for drinkables affixed to the back of every eat are empty. At best, however, the Tammany is a very dreary place of entertainment The pro grammes are fearfully long and the ballet-dresses wonderfully short Encores are repeated to the balf-doaenth time, and athletlo artists feed them. elves with their toes and transact other triumphs of genius. Every kind of miscellaneous entertainment been tried there ana none nave succeeded. Au BlBA. CITY ITEMS. MiCi Olothiwo. Youth' Gumma. Hsw BPBrna Bttlxs. All Kinds. All, Sizes.

It is a vulgar error to suppose that the hahiturt of Wall street oonverse about nothing bnt stocks and gold. Sometimes they talk about their health ; and tbey all seem to have one trouble bilimumtM. The wear and tear of speculation invariably tell upon the liver. "Vow do you think I'm looking?" said a well-known "Bull" to a friend in the Long Reom, a few days after the late eraash-vp : "Do I look panio struck?" "No, by Jove!" was the reply ; "you lo-k in trim to fight for a man's life. Never saw yon looking better."
