Tlie V.isv ol .Selling a Vlfe.
tProm the Uiiiuinghaiu (En.j Gixettfe.
ll will no doubt be in thu recollection
oi some ot our readers that a li-w weeks
ago a paragraph went the rounds of the
papers, to the cliect that a man residing
al Wolverhampton, had sold his wiie and
three blooming chiiJre-n to an American
adventurer tor I tie moderate sum of loO.
A wiis tUv.ujneiiiiene'i, the wife Lit iie-r
lavviui husliaud, and witii tlie three chil
dren went to live with her American ad
mirer It would appear, however, that a
lew days ago she repealled, 4. her bargain,
and reiiina-d to the protection bfjier hus
band. I 'poii hading himself deserted, the
.American communicated with the hus
band, and inhn iiie-el him that if he could
p -:suade his w ile to return to , him he
would give the husband an additional
.o0 Tiie husband accordingly, tried all
his powers to get the wile to leave hii,
and finding her quite wilting, communica
ted witli our American cousin, who was
in' London. He went down to Wolver
hampton ihi Saturday. lie there saw the
husband and wile, 'and it was arranged
that the AmctLan, with the wife and
three children, should leave Voiveihaiiij
loii en Saturday lor 1aii Ion, by the 7
io P. M. train. l he Yaukcv, to make
sure id ids priz', arranged with the hus
band that he shexiid tee tin m to the sla
ti'ii: and iq-on the. sign; 1 U ing given loi
tiie train to start he wouid hand him a
4- Lank of England note. The hus
band ac-urdiiigly saw the American, his
wii'e, and three children sate in the train,
and ii-on it leaving the platform received
a iiank of England note iroin his Yankee
friend. The train had hardly left the
station, when upon lx;king at the note he
found that it was a simple HSi note.
Finding he was duped out of JClo, l.i
iviie, and three children, he at once smt
the folio.ving graphic telegraphic message
to the police in this town; 44 1 ail turn
man run away with my wife and three
children, two boxes, two hand-b jxcs ami
a carjK-t bag. He is an American, with
a lu ll around him, with a bowie knife in
the belt and a revolver. They are going
to London, but husband will lie at lhr-'
iniuuham by the next train, booked from
Wolu i hani.toii to New street station,
to Ik- detained." I'pon Detective Inspec
tor Tan ly ieedviitg the telegram, he direc
ted detective sci grants Sj-okesand dciinslo
meet the train iroin Wolverhampton and
look jut lor the American, the wile, and
three children. These two active ollieers
accordingly went to the station, and upon
making inquiries of the railway oltieials,
found the husband in the cloak room, he
having arrived Iroin Wolverhampton by
the express which reaches liirminghain
about ten minutes after the ordinary
train. The olVievrs made further inquiries
and found the American had arrived.
1 hey then went to the Dudley street side
of lhe station where the husband saw the
American with his wife and children
and the luggage he being in the act of
putting the latter into a cab. Tiie hus
band, going up to the Y'ankee, said ;
" Well John, how are you getting on ?"
to which he replied, " All righ', 1 guess."
Upon this the husband informed him that
he had given him at Wolverhampton Sta
tion a o note instead ot a 50 note, and
he wanted the latter sum. Said the
Anvi iean, " Well I guess it was a mis
take," and taking a bundle of notes from
his pocket, handed the husband a o
Hank of England note, w hich was passed
to the detec'.ives, who found it to be quite
genuine. The husband then shook hands
with his wife, and kissing his children,
wished them "good-by," and, with a
friend who was with him, went, to the
nearest liquor van!!.", where he '-liquored"
with his friend. The hist that vvas seen
of the American was that he, with the
purchased wife and three children, were
making tracks" for tlie Lndon train,
where we believe they safely arrived.
C?r ' Johnny, a youngster of soni ele
ven years, was one day discussing proba
bilities with his little brother, a six -year
old. "When I am grown up," said
Johnny, 44 1 shall be married, and my
children will call you I'nele Seneca. And
you will say, 44 Come here, my dear, and
s;h what lrnde Seneca's got fer you,"
44 Humph, ejaculated the little one, 44 1
guess I shall have all I can do to take

hadn't I thought of that Ociore i Id
have a cruise direct l, or sooner if possi-
! hie'. No, I must have the tools first,- and
started up town to find 'em. -.
I brought up in lioi'.t of a big window
on the starboard side of Chesiiut street,
going towards -Tchuv Ikill, where the-y had
more dilLreut rigs of hiiding machines
than y u can see national Hags in Gibral

a cow does-of chiouontctcr lime', 1 went
inside, and asked. hr a pair f skates.
4' What kind do you prefer sir .'"
44 (J, I have no preieivnce. Give me

Yes, sir :" and the clerk passed for
inspection a pair of brass. clad, steel clip

gings to Yin than there is to a French
sloop of war.
"I'hcs.
Yes,

i-ir, decidedly ! Just get on to j

don't liud i: so, bring 'cm buck, s-ir, and
I'll return your money."
4 W hat's lhe price .'"
44 Feurteen dollars ! Very cheap !"
Didn't bdieve that of course : but in
vested lhe amount, and made sail for
Fairnienint.
Found suerb skating. Everybody said
so, only those that called it elegant! splen
did! magnificent! There vvas a regiment
ol m. n, a battalion ol dimity, and a w hole
hri-ade of small craft, on skates, skiver-
ing, scooting, and cutting all sorts of tan
cies e'li ice ; cveryliody laughing, chatter
ing iu all directions ; and 1 didn't wonder
newspaiMTP, nnd everybody else called
skating glorious fun.
4 Have yer skates straped, sir?" said
an itinerant boot black, about the hcighth
of a walking stick.
, Do you understand it, Iub ?"
( ), yes, sir ; 1 strap all the ladies'
skates for them."
41 Ah, ha! do, eh ? Must have a jolly
lime of it ! Would like the berth myself.
There J'ou are. Go ahead, boy, and I
sat dow n on the biaekie's box, about a
couple of fathoms out on tlie ice. hiz!
like a rocket, went by a great strapping
long-legged chop, vvitha cigar living jib
lKiom, and swinging his arms like a fri
gate's headvards iu a hurricane, with the
braces all adrift.
44 O, ho ! f o they can smoke on skates
eh? boy?"
Lord, yes, sit: Everybody smokes
on lhe ice."
Exactly." So I fired up on a Prin
cipe, and shipK.'d it for the cruise.
I "renin announced skates ail ctuunto,
and took a liftycent 44 fractional."
44 Here, boy ! here's another fifty. Just
allow me to sii on your iiox a lew min
utes till 1 get the run of the navigation."
So I s:.t there studvin" ice navivialion
bv "dead reckoning, tilf directly a little bump as that would have stalled the ar
iKlticoat craft, in yellow trowsers, skirts ! mor on any irou-cladailo.it. I sold those
to her knees, red beit, Hnssian can, and ;
itrnis akimbo, swoe.ped down, and check
ed up right in front of me. There she
hung for a minute, quivering like, and
balancing, just like a iish hawk elocs over
his prey, ami all the time eyeing me
with a jolly twinkle in her dancing black
eyes.
44 A challenge for a race, sir. Catch

once, my dear sir: atlvised a sensible.
Christian looking j ouug man, who eaiue
to my assistance, and set me on all even
keel once more. 4 When you lili one
ief, sir, you must throw ail your vi or
iud inuscie into Hie otiier limb. And
then, re-memoer to sway your bMiy so
th.il your weight will always be ujmjii
that loot which h is the ice. 'Tis very
easy, sir, ju.-t this way !'" and away
went my Christian mentor, with a long,
striding, giacclul swing.
' O ye that's very easy. All the
vigor iu the other limb. YY I can do
it. ' Sj I made a prodigious, etlott, and
did it !
1 slack out tnj' leg like a niusquilo
when he.'s blood-sucking. Put all my
vigor and umse-le into right limb, and
couldn't uet it out i'g iin. Went off on
i one fool, like a shot ; crooking right kme
a hue v
ice a minute, just as Lmle
Dimity did. Saw a crinohne crait cross
bill in v course, unoer co:ivey ot a bL
double-banked chap, both skaiiug a sticak.
Tried to sheer to Mrt. and go clear of j
'em. Missed Slavs, and went aloul ot j
Crinoline. The toe of my port skate j
j hooked Miss Soiubody's skill, which gave j
! me a broad sheer to, to starijoard, . and 1 j
rammed big convoy bulling him square
on his cutwater, and drove the lire-end
of my Principle slap down his throat.
There was an everlasting tangle, and all
i bauds went sprawling on the ice like a
net oi' Ineauga laud crabs
j 44 Look here sir ! What do you mean?"
j yelled big convoy, scrambling lei his icct,
ami inanouver'u.g te r a broad.-ide.
44 Leg pardon sir. 1 couldn't help it V
1 replied meekly, still silling on tin- ice
'"Couldn't luiit it? Why didn't you

44 Didn't know how."
44 O bo! uivcn on skates, th?"
44 Yes, grcen'ii a cabbage!"
That modified lhe big chap, and set
ting me on my pins again, he volunteered
to educate me in check'nm up.
44 Turn your teies up. and dig the heels
of your skates into lhe ice ibis way."'
And he illustrated.
44 O, yes : I can do that. And 1 did,
eluvcily.
OllT sl;Ot again one leg; steer-
