A MUTUAL FR1EXD.
What He Accomplished "at ' a
Btrangra Weddlngr Feast.
Ono rvenin.!f In pprln I wo3 looking
over tho playbills, 'wondering what
theater I would attend. 1 was with
Ucrnard Loumairne. a 5011112 lawyer,
who was aa grave eu & juda. For an
hour, during which tlmo wa had been
promenading the boulevanl. wo had
Loen stupid and ailent, like men who
do not know what to do with their
time.
Suddenly I pcrcelve'the eprightly
Cgrure of my friend. Henri Martin.
"Ah!" I cried. "Martin will tuggos,
a way of passing tho evening."
Martin had nover had a well-JeCned
profession. Ho had been a littlo of
every thing musician, actor, littera
teur, mathematician, merchant, manu
facturer. He was a handsome fellow,
of nbout the medium height, slender,
having a wcll-shapod head, a silky
mustache and beautiful black eyes,
large and earnest. Martin is essenti
ally a man of action; ho never seems
to bo at rest.
"Ah! how fortunato I am to find
you!"' ho exclaimed; and then, making
a disdainful gesture toward the play
bills, ho asfc.l: "Do you think of going
to the theater?"
"Yes."
. "Have you dlaod?"
."Not yet."
Then all goes well. Return home,
both of you, and get into evening
dress ns rjuiclrly as you can." Then,
opening his overcoat, ho continued:
"You beo I am nlready dressed. Make
haste. It will not do to be late on
auch an occasion. We must be there
at 8:30."
"But whore aro you going to tako
us?"
"Bah! as though you did not know!
But come! come! Do not loae a mo
ment" When Martin organized an expedi
tion there was nothing to do but to
obey. There was ono certainty that
his companions would not be bored.
Martin called a cab which was pass
ing, and we were taken home, where
wo were allowed ton minutes to dress.
We wero soon altogether again in
the cab, which was driven In the di
rection of the Champs Ely sees. Mar
tin smoked his cigarette In solemn
majesty. Again I asked:
"Where are you taking us?"
My Insistence seemed to vex him.
but he condescended to reply:
To the Torto Maillot.' ,,
"For dinner?"
"Certainly for dlnnor.
"And was it necessary that "wo
should don evening drtss when only
we threo aro to dine together?" asked
Loumagne, who was put out, for he
had noailoctioa for his swallow-talL
Martin turned a sevcro glanoo on us
as ho said:
"Are you accustomed to attend wed
ding feasts in street costume?"
Are wo going to a wedding feast?"
"Certainly."
"That of ono of your friends?"
"Yes of ono of my frlouds."
"What's his name?"
"I don't know."
J, come, Martin, speak seriously."
'I ara speaking seriously. About
two o'clock this afternoon, while pass
ing tho Church of tho Trinity. I saw a
charming, adorable bride come forth,
and I said to myself: There is a bride
to whom I would like to drink a toast.
Now tho only way to toat her is. of
course, to bo a guest at her wedding
fcaft, and to her wedding fcat we are
going, my friends. I hoard her father-in-law
say to ono of tha guests: This
evening at the Torto Maillot-' And I
know tlio name of tho bride I learned
It from the beadle It is Mile. Lemon
nlor Blanche Lemonnier. You shall
seo how charming she is a dream of
lovo and botuity' '
When we arrived at the restaurant
Martin had tho air of one who had
cioe, in all seriousness, as a guest of
tho wedding-feast. .
There were threo wedding parties at
tho restaurant that evening, conse
quently tho whole establishment was
in a commotion. Tho waiters rushed
up and down tho stairs. Tho stewards
leaned over tho balusters of tho three
floors, shouting, storming, calling for
napkins, knives and glasses.
"Tho moment 13 propitious," said
Martin, with delight. "And throe
wedding fn?t3 at that! If wo are ex
cludod from ours wo can attend one of
tho other 1"
Then, with graceful assurance, ho
said to an attendant:
Mile. Lcmonnier's wedding part,?"
"First Coor."
We wero a littlo apprehensive in re
gard to tho termination of our expedi
tion as wo followed Martin. Ho,
howovf-r. was soon in the room whero
tho sirvantj had just ;:ihed setting
tho table.
"Ah, I am glad to sec you are ready

, . i
in good time, said Martin, in a tone
of voice befitting a master of cere
monies. The steward, who held a paper In
his hand, bowed respectfully.
"Is this the list of tho guests?"
said Martin, taking the paper from
the steward. "Let us see if it is cor
rect" Surveying the table with a grave
air, he verified the list, and then said
sharply:
"You have made a mistake. Thro
covers are wanting. It is fortunate I
arrived early." While tho confused
steward called over tho baluster, giv
ing orders for threo more covers, Mar
tin added our threo names to tho list
and made the nocesaary changes on
the table. lie arranged a place for
himself opposite the bride, placing us
at a short distance from him in order
that we might come to his roocue if
he got into difficulty.
Then wo solemnly waited the ar
rival of tho wedding guests, who soon
assembled.
Weddings aro usually gay, but there
are also thouo which are melancholy.
That of Mile. Lemonnier belonged to
tho latter category.
When M. Joseph Durand began to
pay court to Mile. Lemonnier, as I
afterwards learned, their positions, as
far as fortune was concerned, were
about equal. Mile. Lomonnier had a
dowry of ono hundred thousand francs
and expectations of coming la for
two hundred thousand more, all of
which had been amassed by her
father in the wine bueh.ees. Her
father and mother were good, honest
people, whose only fault was excessive
love of money. What they found de
sirable In Joseph Durand was not so
much Lis amiability, his refined man
ner and his tender love for Blanche, as
his Important position In a largoudry
goods firm, tho forty thousand frauos
which his parents were to give him on
the day of his marriage, and the mag
nificent property which would fall to
him later. No one knew better than
M. Lemonnier the value of the vine
yards on his property, which wa sit
uated in the center of Gascony. Tho
older Durand, moreover, had ono hun
dred thousand francs in bank, whSch
in timo would come to his son.
Blanche paid no attention to theso
business matters. She loved Joseph
Durand simply because she loved him,
because he had a manly form and a
rather bevere countenance which al
ways softened before her smile, and
because 6he Imagined that with him
life w-ould be an uninterrupted series
of pleasures. Joseph Durand's lovo
for Blanche was equally unselfish. Ho
adored tho charming, sprightly little
brunette; ho adored her plump figure,
her bright face, her velvety eyes and
her beautiful waving tresses.
Great was tho consternation, there
fore, when on the evening boforo tho
day set for signing the contract M.
Lemonnier, before the assembled mem
bers of the two families, declared that
the marriage should not tako place.
Having bocomo suspicious, M- Lem
onnier had a few days before under
taken to verify the declarations of the
Durand family, and he had just re
ceived news that the banker who had
held tho one hundred thousand francs
which his prospective son-in-law was
to inherit was about to suspend pay
ment. You knew this, monsieur." ha said
to M. Durand, "yet you did not tell
us."
Durand warmly dofendod his
banker, who, he declared, was an hon
est man, and ho asserted that although
temporarily embarrassed he would
pass triumphantly through tho crisis
In his affairs. M. Durand was inter
rupted by M. Lomonnier, who said,
brusquely:
"My daughter will novor havo a sou
of your one hundred thousand francs.
But that would bo nothing if your
vines wero not blighted by the phyl
loxera, or If your banker fails it id bo
c&uso Gascony hoa been ruined by tho
phvlioxe -a."
In vain did M. Durand explain the
depredations of tha enemy; that he
had at groat expense replaced tho in
jured vinos with olhtrs from America.
M. Lemonnier would not listen.
"You havo deceived us!" ho ex
claimed. "The affair is ended."
But as this did not accord with tho
desires of Blanche Lemonnier tho
afTair was not ended. Sho persuaded
him to withdraw hla objections to
tho marriage, not by speaking of her
lovo, for she knew that such an ar
gument would have littlo influence
with the old tradesman, but by warn
ing him of the scandal which the
breaking of tho engagement would
cause, and by threatening that sho
would never marry and would enter
a convent, old and classic measures
which never fail to bring obdurate
fathers to terms.
The contract accordingly was signed
and tho marriago took place. The
nuptials, however, wero not accom
panied with rejoicings. The fathers-in-law
looked at each other liko dog?
that are old enemies and the mothers-in-law
seemed ready to oat each
other. The guests, whom gosip had
made aware of tho situation, were
constrained and bored. There was
no laughter; the conversation was
carried on in low tonea. The mar
riago ceremony was a melancholy
affair.
The wedding Tout would probably
have bocn equally aa melancholy If on
entering tho festal hall tho two f amllioa
hnd not encountered tho joyous pres
ence of my friend Martin, who gayly
welcomed them. Ho extended his
hand to each of tho fathers-in-law,
smiling as though Jie himself were a
party to tho wedding, and ho said in a
reassuring tone:
"Every thing ha3 been looked after.
The so imbeciles had made several
mlstakos, but It is all right now.
M. Durand thought ho was au in
timate friend of tho Lemonnier fam
ily; M. Lemonnier supposed ho was a
friend of tho Durands; both shook
him warmly by tho hand. His joy
ous faoo and his eager manner seemod
to restore their sincerity. M. Leinon

distrust, leaned over Martin, and.
whispering, said: .
"What is your namo? I can not re
.call it"
"Martin Henri Martin," answered
my friend. "Don't you remember
me?"
"Ah! yes Martin! yes. Henri Mar
tin! I remember it now. It is strange
how ono forgets names on such an
occasion. Martin yes, yes, Martin!"
He tried to shake hands with Mar
tin again, but the latter had flown to
the side of tho bride.
"Here, madame," he said, "here L
your place" Then, tapping Joseph
Durand on the shoulder, he remarked:
"You ought to consider yourself a
very happy man. Your wife is an
adorable creature."
He did not stop to listen to the
thanks of the bridegroom, but moved
about the table, calling the names of
the gue9ts and showing them their
places. He was so gracious with the
elderly ladies, so respectful to tho
young ladies and so a (Table and
jovial with tho men that in flXtoen
minutes he had made a conquest of
the whole wedding party.
Martin's good humor was lnfec
tlous and communicated itself to the
guests, and when at la.it he took his

bride:
"Ho Is a very attractive man, your
friend Martin."
"You should say your friend."
"Ah, yes, your friend, our friend.
Your friends are now my friends and
my friends are yours."
When Martin was seated he mado

another part of the board. Then he
addressed the bridegroom as follows:

That will not do. my friend. Upon

When the time for toasts arrived
Martin rose to his full height, glass in

eagerly awaited his words. Address

"My young friends for as I havo

M. Durand and M. Lemonnier
listened with open mouths.
"But fear nothing," cried Martin.
"You shall pass victoriously through

The White House In 1800.
It Is interesting to read at this time

It was occupied in ISOO for the first

of the Duke of Leinster. Jefferson,
the exponent of simplicity, favored a
more elaborate and ornate structure.

To many readers It 'will bo a sur
prise to loarn that the Asiatic tiger
often known as tho royal Bengal tiger,
and usually regarded as belonging
wholly to the torrid regions in which
lie the East Indian jungles is found
also In the northeastern portions of
China and Corost
In fact, the largest, fiercest tigers la
the world are found among the mount
ains of that wild region which lies
along the western coast of the sea of
Japan, in the parallels of latitude
which include Pennsylvania and New
York, and in which the climate, at
certain times of the year, is very cold.
Tho province of Ham Kieng, in tho
north of Corea. abounds in largo for
ests of pino and cypress. Interspersed
with trees which resemblo the syca
more and elm. In this region an
American named Cloudman, in tho
employ of a company of Japanese .'
1 V , . , , ...
lumuer merennnxs, naa ouiit a saw
mill on a small river which flows into
the bay whero their junks wero loaded.
Near the river stood an old. abandoned
Buddhist temple. Tho roof of tho old
stone temple had not fallen, and a
bronzo bell still hung in tho cupola. As
tho site was favorable, and tho struct
uro was dry and commodious. Cloud
man occupied it as a barrack for him
Belf and his laborers, and used tho
Buddhist boll to arouso his workmen
in the morning, and to summon them
to their meals.
With him was a man-of-war's man
named Barrows, who had deserted at
Yokohama from a British ship soveral
years before. The Japaneso have a
high opinion of English fighting
qualities, and Barrows was employed
by the lumber merchants to watch and
guard their property at this placo.
The force of laborers consisted of
eighteen or tweuty Corean and Jap
aneso laborers. .
Cloudman and his party had a thrill
ing and tragic experience with a Cor
ean tiger, which ho thus rolates:
"In tho latter part of October tho
woathor bocamo very cold, with high
winds, snow-squalls and frosty nights.
By tho middle of November the mill
pond was covered with ice two inches
thick, and there was considerable
snow on tho ground.
Tho old stone joss-house now stood
us in good stead. I built a fire-place
in ono corner of tho idol-room, and, as
fuel was plenty. Barrows and I had
quite .cheery quarters. Tho Corcaa
dah-hows, or choppers, camped In a
part of tho old temple which opened
upon a porch, and, as tho two crews
wero apt to scold and quarrel when
brought togethor, I put tho Japanaso
mill-men into an apartment in which
the priests formerly hold their private
devotions.
"I heard a great deal about tigers
aU that season; tho Coreans, among
whom were two aan-cheny, or trained
native hunters, were constantly talk
ing of thewo beasts and telling stories
of flights and escapes from them, but
wo saw no tigers during tho summer
md autumn, and I had no fear that
ihoy would give us trouble.
But on the night of December 13.
a little before five o'clock, as tho boll
was about to ring to call tho choppers
Iowa from tho mountain side, I hoard
a great outcry in the woods, and soon
tho men appeared, running toward
the joss-house in a state of great
alarm.
"From tholr cries of 'Zluing-hoP
nd 'San-tuir I conjectured that they
-aad scon a tiger, but could scarcely
believe their assertions that ono of
their number had been seized and
dragged away tiU I had counted them
and found that wo wore, indood, a man
short Even then I was inclined to
think that tho fellow might be some
whore in tho rear; for it was one of
the gaii-clicng, or professional tiger
hunters, who was missing. It was al
ready dark, but I summoned Bar
rows from the mill, aud, armiug our
selves, we went up the valley to tha
side of tho mountain where the dah
'uws had boon at work. We took
lanterns along, and were accompanied
by eight or ten of tho millmcn,
equipped with hand-spikes and axes.
"After a bhort search the blood
stained trail of the man-oator was dis
covered. 'J ho tracks showod that
after seizing the luckless Corean the
animal had lounded away with long
leaps ihi-ouRh the snow, carrying its
victim without difllculty. The night
was dark and cloudy, with indications
that it would snow and blow before
morning. We followed the trail for
about half a mile, when the prospect
of rescuing the poor man, or of over
postage per var In advance.
NUMBER 40.
taking the creature at all. became so
evidently hopeless that I took the men
back to their quarters.
The next morning four or five
Inches of snow had fallen, and the
snow-storm still continued. Tho
weather was so Inclement that tho men
remained in their quarters, and no at
tempt was mado to pursuo tho tiger.
"On the following day I sent out
Barrows with the men. to protect
them whilo they worked, and provided
the Corean san-cheng, or tiger hunter,
with a lance, and st him also to act
as a guard for tho others.
"In stationing these guards I felt
that I had taken all practicable pro
cautions for the safety of the men In
my charge. I was not at liberty to
withdraw them from the work. Bar
rows was armed with an English
breech-loading carbine, which was
the only gun at the mill, except two
or three Japaneso flint-locks which
were not to bo relied on.
"In going to and from tho place
where they worked in the forest and
a score of other times during every
day while at work, the Coreans raised
a prolonged shout of Tuo! Tuo! Tue!"
to frighten away the tigers. At all
hours of tho day I heard this strange
chant echo through the wintry soli
tudes, blending with the sound of
their axe-strokes. .
"A week or two passed with no
fresh alarm. Barrows grew tired of
standing guard in the snow, and I al
lowed the an-chcng, at his own re
quest, to resume his axe. It was only
by a constant exorcise of authority that
I kept Barrows with the crow. Ho
possessed the usual traits of an En
glish sailor and held Coreans in slight
estimation. He grumbled continually,
and at length so far relaxed his vigi
lance as to take his blankets with him
into the forest, and spend the time
napping in front of a fire.
"As evening was approaching, one
day early in January, a large tiger
emerged from a thieket about sixty
yards from tho placo whore the Core
ans were cutting logs. They had bare
ly timo to perceive the creaturo before
he was among them, had BcizeH his
victim, a youth about twenty years of
age, and was bounding away with tho
lad in its mouth. Tho Coreans scat
tered, uttering loud outcries. Bar
rows fired an ineffectual shot at the
animal, aud chased it for a short dis
tance. Some of the leaps made by the
animal in its retreat coverod a dis
tance of over four yards, as I after
wards found by moasnroment.
"I was at the lumber yards below
the mill superintending the loading
of a junk at the timo of this second
foray, and before I could organize a
pursuing party darkness had fallen.
The Coreans huddled panlo-stricken in
their quarters, and I saw that they
would be useless as laborers until tho
tiger that had twice assailed them
had been hunted down and killed.
"It was easy to discern tho creat
ure's track in tho snow, which was
now nearly two feet in depth, making
it difficult to travel in the forest Tho
Coreans uso a snow-shoo mado of thin,
tough, hard wood, to which they give
tho name of sel-mai, and I sot my men
at work to fashion several pairs of
those nativo rackets, which they fin
ished that night
"Meanwhile, I consulted with Bar
rows and three or four of the more
intelligent among tho Japanese mill
men, and the result was that wo
started a hunting party shortly after
suuriso the following' morning. It
was scarcely a sportsman-like party
it resomblod rather a forlorn hope
and although I had picked out the
pluckiest of tho Japanese and Coreans,
I could see that boine of them had
very little heart for the business bo
foro them.
"We were poorly armed for such an
undertaking. Two of tho Japaneso
carried flint-lock guns, and Barrows
had his carbine. Tho other men, to
tho number of twelve, carried only
axes. 1 was armed with an axe aud
my revolver.
"We followed tho track of tho
tiger, which was stained at intervals
with the blood of his victim, for about
two miles, first up the valley of the
river, then across a mountain ridge
heavily woodod with pine, and then
into a valley beyond It It was evi
dent that this entire region, now cov
ered with a donso forest, had once
been inhabited, for fragments of tho
old walls of stone houses and temples
wero plainly discernible through tho
snow, and occasionally an old ruin of
considerable size loomed among tho
dark boughs of the thick cypresses
and pines.
"Ascending tho farther side of the
valley, tho six or seven Japanese,
who were ahead of Barrows and my
self, came to where the trail ended
near a large, . irregularly-shaped
aperture in a mass of old masonry
which had formed part of the front
wall of a hiyh, artificial terrace. This
opening, which was six or eight feet
above the surface of tho ground, led
back into a dark hole or cavern.
"lu front of this cavern a largo
drift had formed, nearly as high as
tho bottom of the opening; but the
eddying wind had whirled the snow
outward, leaving aa open space more
than two yards wido between the
crest of tho drift and the hole. The
tiger had bounded from tho drift to
tho aperture in the wall. The blood
stains on the snow showed where the
creature had laid its burden down to
secure a firmer hold upon it before
making the leap.
"At the crest of tha drift the
Japanese stopped, and one of them
turned back to meet us, enjoining
silence, according to their custom, by
raising his hands. Barrows and I had
just halted fifty yards below the drift
to hear his account, when w ith n
growl which we plainly heard, the
great striped brute emerged from the
ileii, and at one bound landed among
tho Japanese on the snow-drift
They shouted, ono of them dis
charging his flint-lock, then the whole

T There is a most interesting ethno
logical specimen at the art museum,
recently presented by Mrs. F. Has
6aurck. It was brought from Ecuador
by tho late Frederick Hassauruk. It
is a dried human head from tha
Jivaros Indians on tho Napo river,'
Ecuador, South America. There are
few of these heads now. The Na
tional Museum at Washington
has one, I believe. The heads
thus treated are always trophies
taken from a slain enemy. An in
cision is made quite through the skin
around the neck, well down toward,
the shoulders. The 6kin is then
drawn off over the head, just as ono
would do in flaying an animal, cut
tings being mado wherever muscular
adhesion made it necessary. The
features are thus left intact The
skin is then soaked in an infusion of
sumo kind of herb. The second step
consists in filling the skin with hot
pebbles and sand, over and over, until
it is quite shrunken and dry. Tha
souking in the decoction and tha
shrinking and drying aro alternately
practiced until tho trophy is reduced'
to the desired proportions. Tha
mouth is then sewed up, a cord is
passed through the top of the head.',
and the head is hung up in the smoke.''
