Quite a romantic marriage tank place
at the Gamo H.iuse, Wayndotte City,

Fre'rt, tf tcvensoit county, Iliiiiei?, be
came engaged to young Dian na-ned
M.irri.-'mi. of th;: -B.irae p! ice. D-j.-itie8j
bing (lull tliere in lb65, tin; time our
Htoiy cniiifnencei, l.e concluded to try
his fortunes in California, i'o after tak
ing a !-tig farewell of the loved one, he
departed on his j-iurney, (ironming to
write regularly, nud cither come or send
fur her a.t so.in us fortur.o finil. d upon
hint Two lot'g. weary years rolled by,
and she received no letters from him,
and nmtihi; wan frmnt by""Iiii or her
friends of Li w hereatiouts. A report
about this titn t w.h freely circul ated by
a young in in named S!ii;im iri, port
tnacter of Free port, that Morrison was'
married Although hardly credited by
Miss .Mntshier, siiil his long eilence, to
gether with the report of his marriage,
made her come to the unwilling conclu
sion that t-he was forgotten.
Sliiptnan now became very awiduous
in bis attentions to Iter, and, after a
short courtship, asked her to become his
wife j the. stung to the quick with the
treatment o her first love, finally con
sented, and in due time they were mar
ried mid concluded to make their home
out Vi st. removing from Freeport to
Kansas City, Mo. Here everything
went on smoothly for a time, but, iu an
unguarded moment, her husband told her
he had intercepted Morrieon's letters to
her, and that be had written repeatedly
and ofieu, but, as soon as they came into
bis hands they were destroyed. Instead
of forgiveness, as be expected, she up
braided him for his perfidy, and, in short,
led him such a life that he soon deserted
her After a reasonable lime she com
menced action for a divorcp, which was
Inly granted on grounds of abandon
ment. She still remained in Kansas
City, doing the bet she could to earn a
livelihood.
We nmet now turn to Morrison, who,
after wailing two years, and hearing
nothing from the ol ject of his affections
grew restless, but st ll worked on until
news came of her marriage. Oh bearing
this he immediately packed up with the
intention of coining home to ascertain the
truth of the report On his.way home
he determined to stop at Kansas City,
which be did, and upon his arrival there
almost the first person be met was his
long lost love. Mutual explanations
took place, and she being free again a
speedy marriage was agreed upon, which
duly took place before justice Newman
of Wyandotte, last Saturday, and thus
after nearly seven years of tient wait
ing and suffering, two I -virg hearsta be
came one.
An extraordinary tale was told by one
Thomas Smith, a countryman, at a Lon
dou police court, the other day. The
prosecutor, who, we are told, appeared
in the witness box habited only in trous
ers, shirt and collar, charged a woman
with luring him into a bouse in Spital
field'e. under pretense of finding him a
lodging, and there depriving him of hit
boots coat, necktie and bat, locking him
up in a room", and. while keeping him a
prisoner, pawning bis clothes. It ap
pears that, under a threat of murder, the
man had been so frightened as to submit
confinement for thirty sis hours Hia
clothes, which had been discovered at a
pawn-broker's, were restored to him by
order of tbe magistrate, and tbe prisoner
was reminded.
An Amusing Mistake.
The Wrong Kind of a Hotel. -
The Brussels JZche Zu Pttrliamtnt
tells a. pleasant tvy f,an Englishman
and his wife, who. not knowing a word
of German, but being able to express
themselves well in French, resolved to
visit Berlin and Dresden. At Berlin
they had been recommended to a hotel,
whither they were riding in a hack.
when all at once the lady espied an im
posing edifice up. in which were inscribed
in large letters lhe words "Hotel Rad-
zievill " She cried out, "There is a
beautiful hotel, and the situation is splen
did " Suppnes we go there ?" eug-
gstcd the husband. "AH right." It
was done as soon as said. The driver
was stopped Tliere were several ladies
abont the hotel, but nnnejof theni spoke
either English or French, However the
servants were made to understand by
gestures that they were to take in the
lujrgage, and the travelers werecerenr
niouely conducted iuto an apartment
The lady asked by signs, fur a f-loeping
room, to which she was led, and ou her
return said to her husband: "I never
saw in all my life a hotel eo admirably
furnished. Come and see the chamber
and sleeping room? ' Having dressed,
our English folk lunched auA annrttinced
to the servant that they would dine t
five. They went to walk. On their
return a gentleman of distinguished ap
pearance entered their room, saluted
them and said something in Germ in
which they did not understand.. The
Englishman, thinking him a little famil
iar, replied carelesssly in iinglish, "Good
morning.'' "How do yon do?'' And
the stranger withdrew. A delicious
dinner was served , When the servants
bad gone, "My dear,'' said the gentle
man ti his wife, "all this is excellent.
This is evidently first-class. But it must
he very dear, and, as a matter of pru
dence, it will be well to ak for the bill
to-morrow morning." But he neglected
to do so nnd two days mire passed like
the first. At last the bill was asked for
but it was not brought "I am begin
ning to be a littlo uneasy, my dear, '
said the husband. ' Smely no one can
be better cared for thau we are are here
but I am persuaded the charges will be
frightful." At that" moment I lie gentle

honor of this visit T"
lhe Prince "You have evidently
taken this house for a public hotel."
The Englishman. "Certainly."
The 1'rince "Well, this is my pri

Tim Englishman was so astonished
that he could make no reply and could
not explain the mistake of his wife, who,
in the greatest consternation, began to
tell the prince in English that the word
"hotel" over the door had caused his
error. Tbe piince, who enw their con
fusion, politely expressed his eatisfac
tion at having given hospitality to Eng
lish people, and begged them to remain a
few days longer that be might enjoy
their society. Of course the invitation
was politely declined Tbe Englishman
succeeded in making the servants accept
a few preoeuts, and the prince insisted
upon accompanying them to a real
"hotel!" in hid own carriage. 1'iince

The Pittsburg Cknud of Saturday
a week says : Yesterday afternoon there
was a strange and terrible occurrence at
a house on Third avenue, near Wood
street. The corpse of a little chi!d had
been laid out in the front room, and wax
caudles placed around it One of these
lighted candles fell over in some manner
and set fire to the surroundings of tbe
little corpscvand the body itself was quite
badly burned before the flames were (lis
covered. To extinguish the fire was
but a brief work aftej the discovery of it

to be carried to his room, which whs done

Golden Woris From a Merchant
We all want to know bow good and
strong men have made their ways in tbe
world... They were occe boys like yon.--What
steps did they take to become true
men t An eraiuent merchant in Xew
York, Mr. Jonathan Stifgis, tells us a
little of his experience, which, I am sure
every boy will be glad to hear about.
"One of my first lessons." says Mr.
Sturgu, "wa in 1S13. when I was eleven
years old. My grandfather hail a fiue
flock of merino sheep which were fare

A Kan Swept Through a Mile of Sewer
tomes Out Alire.
From the Cincinnati Caxette, Augtiit i$ -Our
citizens will remember how the
showers came night before last, iu fre
quent succession, pouting torrents, while
they lasted, but stopping after " a brief
pour. Well, there were, at 8 o'clock on
that evening, seven men at the point iu
Sycamore and Abigail streets to which
is completed the great sewer which in
really an up-town extension of the big
Eggleston avenue sewer. Their busi
ness is to dealt the open end of that
sewer, so as to prevent delay to work
men engaged in constructing it up Syc
amore street- It had occurred to them
that by stirring the sediment at the bot
tom of the sewer the waters from the
showers would wash it away, and their
work would iu this way be greatly cxpe
dited. After a long cessation iu the rain
they went into the sewer some distance
"Nevermind, Jonathan, my boy. if . and continued their work. While so en
you watch, the sheep you will have the
sheep."
"What does grandfather mean by
that? I said to myself; I don't expect
to have sheep. My desire was moder
ate, and a fine buck was worth a thou
sand dollars. I could not "exactly make
out in my mind what it was, but I had
great confidence in hi u, for he was a
judge and h ad been to Congress in Wash
ington's time ; so I concluded it was all
right and went back contentedly to the
sheep. Alter I got iuto the field I
could not keep his wen's out of my head.
Then I thought of Sunday's lesson
'Thou hast been faithful over, a few
things, I will make thee ruler over many
things,' I began to eee tf trough it. 'Never
you mind who neglects his duty ; be
you faithful aud you will have your re
ward.
"I received a second person soon after.
I came to this city as a chik to the late
gaged, one of those heavy, sudden show
ers which characterized the evening came
up and poured ffiVn ita tremendous
streams Tbe first warning they had of
their peril was a sudden rush of wat
ers upon them, carrying the whole party
off their feet. The four men nearest the
mouth of tlm sewer escaped with diffi
culty, battling up stream agaiust a pow
ei ful current, the other three were carried
down toward the river by the galloping
tide of the defiled waters. Two of thera
caught at a man hole near the canal aud
succeeded iu making themselves heard
by their four fortunate companions who
had escaped. They were drawn up to
the sidid ground by these But John
Clark, one of their companions, was not
so fortunate. He continued to travel
down to Court street, where he made a
short turn and thence proceeded before
the every moment increasing volume of
waters to Eggloston avenue sewer, where
Kymeu Heed, A merchant from Ohio, la made a turn to the right, whence it
who knew me, came to buy goo.is. and ' was a straight road to the river. Mr.
said : 'Make yourself so useful that Clark tells the story himself. He Bays

A No73l DU3L.
A Bold Eobbsry.'
From the Reese River Reveille, Aug 3.
The Battle Mountain stage was
stopped aud robeil last night about eleven
Among the reminiscences told of the ' o'clock on its' up trip, at the foiks of the
Franco l'russiau war is the account of a
curious duel between two subordinate
officers of tbe French army.
"You intend to fight a duel ch ?''
asked tbe command ant
'Yes Colouel. Words have passed
which can only be wiped out by blood
We don't want to pass as cowards,"
"Very well, you shall fight, but it
must be in this way : Take your car
bines, place yourselves ou a line facing
Malmaison, where the enemy is. You
will march upon their garrison with
equal step Whim sufficiently near their
posts you will thou tire upon them. The
Prussians will reply. You continue to
advance and fire. When one falls the
the other may turn upon his heels, and
his retreat shall be covered by one of my
companies."
"In this way,'' concluded the com
mandant, "the blood which you both de
mand will be spilled with profit and
glory, aud he who comes back will do so
without regret, without the remorse of
having killed or wounded with bis own
hand a Frenchman, at a time when
France needs all her defenders and all
her children. If you both fall, who
ehall say that you are cowards 'I I may
also add that I thus give you an excel
lent opportunity fur putting a couple of
Germans out of the way. a service that
will procure for you a good recomtnenda
lion for reward and promotion.'
The matter was arrauged aa the cotn
maudaut bad dictated. Attweuty paces
from the walls of Malmaison, one of the
adversaries was wounded, staggered ami
fell. Tbe other ran to hitn, raised him
up, and carried him off on his shoulders
amid a perfect hail storm of balls both,
thenceforth, entitled to the.greateat honor
aud respect fiom the whole regiment.

road three miles below "Vick's Statiou."
abont half way between this city and
Botile Mountain. Three robbers sprang
suddenly up out of the sage Ir .fh at t' e
above described place and ordered Scott,
tbe driver, to stop, and as the request
was instituted at the butt-end of a shot
gun Scott iuBlantly complied and pulled
up his team. 'I ho road agents, after un
hitching the leaders, ordered the passen
gers to alight, and obliged them to stand
iu a row by the side cf the road with
their hands poiiucd toward the firmament
while one of their number went through"
the party to the turns of about S 1,000 in
coiu and walches. Tbe treasure box was
broken open, but Mr. Crockett, the ex
press agent bere ia of tbe opinion that
nothing of acy consequence was foaiid
in it. The robbers then broke open and
examined all the baggage on the stage,
even broached a box of egg in search of
concealed treasure, without, however,
finding anything to repay thera for their
trouble There were tight passengers on
board lhe Ptage, two of whom were fe
males The ladies where exempted from
tbe general search, and one of tfiem, who
was unwell, was allowed to retain her
seat in the coach while her fellow-passengers
were being interviewed by tbe rob
bers on the outside. Mr Rodabush. who
was riding on the box with the driver
had a valuable gold watch and a six
shooter taken from him; the pistol, which
was the only one on the stage, was not
loaded. Mr. Rodabush had ninety four
dollars in gold coin in one of the pockets
ofhis pantaloons, but having on a pair
of overalls the robbers failed to find it.
Mr Spencer, of thj liquor house of Ho
taling & Co., of i'an Francisco, was
mulct to the tune of several hundred
dollars and a valuable gold watch. A
gentleman named Letcher contributed
two huudred and fifty dollars to t!e gen
tleman fund, and a boy who was coming
out from the States to seek bis fortune
in the silver mines, was relieved of a

- The Japantso women are not pretty ;
but they have charmiug natural manner.
Hith Leautifully-sliaped arma and tiny'
hands. The young women are all as re
maikaLIe for their superb vrliito teeih aa
the married ones are for their hideous
black ones. This custom originated soma
two or three hundred years ago, and is
supposed to ehow the wife's devotion to
her husband. One of the Mikado's
wived, so goes the legeud, was very lover--"
ly, and to show her indifference to her
personal appearance, and to prove her
love for her husband, blackened her beau
tiful teeth and shaved off her cye-browa.
This was considered such a sacrifice, that
all living wives (not to be outdone by
Mrs. Mikado) followed her example. The
custom has become compulsory.
Whether the married womeu like thus
to blacken their teeth or not id disputed
among foreign restdeuts hero. The men
compel them, bwwevef, to do it, whether
they like it or not, for it u the great sign'
by which a man consecrates and shows
off his female chattel to the world. Who
ever has blackened teeth id' not to bo
touched by oilier men, on pain of death.
The eyebrows of married women, I may
as well add 1 ere, are shaved, aud their
lips roughed. Needs there, then, this
penalty of death ?
A merchant, who seems to be rich in '
the good things of the world, has just
let one of our ladies peep into his wife's
inner bed chamber, and here ii the brief
result of her explorations :
"Little or no furniture ; no chairs, no
bedstead nothing but mats to sleep on
A toilet box was' on the floor near the
wall abont the only piece of furnitura
in the room In this box there were
five drawers, and two laquer basins on
top. la the top drawer of this box there
was a metalic mirror, like our hand
glasses. In the second drawer she kept
Fier powder, paiu'f wax. brufh, tooth
powder and brubh. Two little drawer
come next ; iu one she had her false hair,
and iu the other fancy pins, gilt paper,
aud other fixings for her hair. In the
lower drawer was her pillow; which id
placed uuder the neck when bleeping on
the mats, so as to'prevent the hair from
being rumpled It is made of wood, and
covered with paper on the top. TUo
powder looks like starch, and when they
use it they mix a little water in it, and
rub it in like paste ; aud they have two
brushes that they use to rub it off with.
The paint looks green, and turna reel
when put on the lips and cheeks.
The following ia Ler recipe for blaek
iug the teeth :
"Take three piutd of water, and Lav
ing warmed it, add half a tea cupful of
wine (sakii). 1'ut into this inisitsre u
qcantiry of red-hot' iron; aI:ow it tj
stand five or six days, when there will ha
a scum on the top of the mixture, which
should then be poured iuto a smal!'' tea
cup and placed near the fire. When it is"
warm, powdered gall-nuts and iron filings
should be added to it, and the whole be
warmed again. 1 he liquid is then paint
ed on lEe tS'eth by' a soft feather brush,
with more powdered gall-nuts and iron',
and. after several applications, the desired
color will be obtained." BrooW 8e? n

Meat Famine in England.
We Beemed to be threatened with tC
meat famine as wel C3 a famine of coal .
All over the North the workmen and
their wives are protesting quite savagtly
against the price of meat and the butch
ers are holding meetings to' see if they
cannot compel Mr. Foster to lat in fof"
eign cat'le more fretTy. At a meeting of
the butchers of Manchester, on Thursday
it was stated that the British supply of
meat had been decliuing for three con
secutive yer?,- while the demand among
the working classes' fcnd tripled. For
mer'y they atc meat on alternate days,
but now. sard One jolly butcher, "It was
chop, aud steak, and frizzle and fry all
tire week long. ' a change he for some
odd reason appeared to regret. Tho
prospect, moreover, does not improve.
Tbe plagne Iirs appeared at Hamburg,
and Mr. Foster, with r lively recollec
tion of the cattle plague stampede, when
the country gentlemen trod down all
opposition, nnd justice, too, haa been
compelled to order German cattle and
sheep to be slanghtered before landing.
Tbe only hope appears to be in Austral
ian meat of American bacon, and both
need much improvement iu preparation.
By the way, would it not pay to pre
pare beef, say iff Holstein, and send it
over ready to eat 1 It would not be ao
cheap as Australian meat, but it might
be much better prepared. London Sjrc-
