The beat was so Inteose, that trees and shrubs far up tbe hillside were scorched "aod singed. Tii while country was illuminat ed, and tbe angry roar ol tbe flames as they licked the o.l from the water could be beard for miles. Hundreds or people flocked from the country supposing it to be a conflagra tion Jn Foxburg. Tbe dense columns of black smoke and tbe liquid flame, could be seen for fnil ten miles.

There was considsra ble fun at the reoresenation of "Romeo aod Juliet" In a wretched little theatre during lhe first French revolution. Madame De barme, tbe Juliet of tbe occasluo, was lying dead on the tombstone. It was raining tor rents; drop came through the roof and fell on Juliet's nose; she made a face; an other drop (ell on her eyelids; she winked. It was a facial expression not taught by Delsarte. Finally she took to watching Hie drops and dodging them. Tbe audience caught the Idea and sympathized with ber. "Look out, Mrs. Juliet," said ooe fellow, "there's a whopper a-coming I see III'' "Mind four eye I" said another. Madame," said a tblrd, rising, "will you accept the use of my umbrella?" Of course tbe tragedy ended In a farce. Tbe Marrying Business. From tbe St. Louis Republican. Tbe marrying business received a merited rebuff in Louisville tbe other day. As very often bsppens a young lady bad engaged herself for life to two gentlemen, , one of tbem she loved, or pretended to, and tbe other she did n ot love, but the pretentions wee all the same. By some strange Iresk, that can only be explained on the ground that she was a woman, she married the man who stood lowest in ber virgin affections. The union did not last long, and in cold blood she applied for and obtained a divorce. Then comes tbe other and renews bis sul( and is accepted; the wedding day Is fixed and tbe invitations issued. Unexpected trouble comes, for tbe pastor of tbe church selected refuses to perform tbe ceremony, and tbe trus ees decline to open tbeirbonae for the spectacle. Tbe tickets of admission bad to be withdrawn, and it was necessary to make otlur arrangements lor tbe grand transformation scene In which the two lovtrs after all their troubles, baving been releas ed from the demon ot tbe play, were to make an ascension Into an Imaginary paradise amid tbe glare of blue lights. Another pas tor ead another cburcb were found, and tbe play was enacted. This is degrading nup tials into tbe coolest kind of business that can be imagined.

Tbeoountry Is again being flooded with circulars headed "Aittbur Debenbam, bank not printer, (lately in tbe Treasurer Department) No. 190 Broad' way, New York," wbo pretends to bave Im mense quantities of greenbaoks for sale, and further asserts that "the money Is cot coun terfeit, but the real genuine article" that an over Issue In tbe Treasury Department of many millions placed tbe large amounts In tbe bands of tbe printers, and to that Is tbe reason why It Is offered so cheaply.
