AB TWO men were talking carelessly In a public room, when in answer to a remiuk one lutd made, a young man who had not previously Joined In their conversations suddenly exclaimed : " Married did you sny ?" " O, yes," said one, " she Is to be mar ried to-morrow night, nnd It will be the most excellent combination of wealth and beauty ever seen in this part of the world." ' Hut Wiggles Is such a numbskull." "Hut Wiggles Is wealthy, and what more ought a young girl like Irene Mol travers to desire I" By this time tho young man had passed out. One of the speakers touched the other. " Do you know that young man ?" " No, indeed, not I i who is he?" " That Is young Ned Alford." "The dickens!" " You know he has been In love with Irene for this ever so long, lie comes up from New York every quarter to see her. I wonder how he'll take thisi"' "Why did her father turn the girl over to Wiggles if she was engaged ?" " Oh, he wouldn't give a fig for en gagements, lie's a surly, crusty old fel low, and don't understand anybody's wishes but his own." As the men spoke they went out. Mr. Wiggles, the bridegroom, lived in a little town connected by railroad with Bainsford, and not more than fifty miles away. Early on the appointed morning he might have been seen wending his way to the railway station. As he approached an engine driver came up. " Bound to Bainsford, sir?" "Yes, sir." "Ah, then, you're the gentleman. There's no passenger train to-day, sir won't run till midnight, sir. The direc tor of this road told me, sir, to be sure and get a locomotive ready for you to take you there." " Wrhy isn't there a car ?" said Wig gles, as the man pointed to the puffing and snorting machine. " Please sir, no sir, there are no cars, only this locomotive." "Humph!" exclaimed Wiggles, sol emnly, " I suppose I must go." Then the man put his carpetbag in, got in himself, touched a crank, and with a puff and snort away went the engine. Mr. Wiggles at first felt a little flur ried, but after a few moments he grew accustomed to the novelty of his situa tion, and amused himself by watching the scenery. As he looked at the land scape and noticed the telegraph posts one after the other flashing past, the strange thought occurred to his mind that he was traveling at a most fearful ly rapid pace. He therefore,touched the engineer's arm, and prepared to speak. What was Wiggles surprise at seeing the engineer turn and make a hideous grimace. He laughed in a sickly man ner. " Friend," he cried, "tiin't we going rather fast?" The friend rolled up his eyes till only the whites were visible. After this he turned the lids over so that a hideous red margin appeared over the whites. "Good Lord!" cried Wiggles, "the man is crazy!" Suddenly the man commenced danc ing violently. Then he sprang on the back of the engine, and standing on his head he put his hels against the funnel and stared at Wiggles. After this he came back. " We'll soon be there," he said. " Where V" gasped Wiggles. "New York." " They've got an air line from there to Itaunsbury. It goes through the air. We go thump against the depot, and we vanish. Last time I went to Itauns bury I went -straight on the regular track ; this time I'm going to try the airline. Hey?" He poked Wiggles in the ribs. Wig gles was so paralyzed by fear that he could not utter a word. "Perhaps, though, we had better not wait till we get into the depot. Perhaps we had better run Into the next train, or go ofT the track now. So" Suiting the action to the word, the man gave a tremendous pull at the crank. Wiggles did not wait for the catastro phe. He fainted. That night the liouse of 'Squire Maltravers was crowded with guests. Invited to the wedding they had come, expecting to enjoy the moat brilliant marriage festival ever seen in this part of the world. But the 'squire wore no smile on his face. The bridegroom had been ex pected at noon. He had not only not come at noon, but at -dusk he still was absent. Unable to contain himself, the 'squire rode out to tle station. To his horror no Wiggles came. Perhaps Wiggles hud arrived, and wag already in the house. In vain. On his arrival there, the first person whom he met asked him where was Wiggles. Wiggles was not to be 'found. "How unfortunate!" said they all. " The scoundrel !" cried the 'squire, enraged at the disappointment. " It's my opinion that he has Intended tills all along," said the bride, who, by tho way supported herself with wonder ful fortitude. .This remark stung the 'squire to the quick. " By Jove, I'll have revenge on the rascal. I'll teach him how to make a fool of me, I'll " But the 'squire was Interrupted by the entrance of a young man, who walked straight up to him and bowed respect fully. "Alford?" excluimed the 'squire, doubtfully. " Mr. Maltravers," said he, "you never felt any particular aftection for me, but perhaps you won't object to act reasonable now. Here you are In an awkward place through that villain Wiggles. Now, I loved your (laughter long ago, and we have been engaged. You had no right to overlook mo and give her to a fellow who doesn't care a pin for anybody but himself. The com pany are wondering below the bride is waiting the wedding must go on. Let me be the bridegroom." The 'squire did not get angry. He did not even pause to consider. He seized Alford's hand, slapped his back, and to the astonishment of all present, cried out: " Alford. my lad, take her. Blow me if I ain't glad that cursed nincompoop didn't come. You are worth ten such fellows os lie. Come along, Irene, dear, you won't object, I know. Come along, Alford, give her your arm, you dog you. Come." And the blufTold 'squire, heading the proceaston, advanced into the midst of the astounded company. A few words explained all. To the honor of human nature, the whole house rang with op plause. The ceremony was short but decisive, and the enthusiastic company could hardly wait for it to be over. As the last amen was said every soul crowded up to congratulate the happy pair. It leaked out in the course of a month, long after Alford and his bride had set tled in New York, that the mad en gineer was an old friend, who decoyed Wiggles Into a car, that he merely car ried him off to the other end of the line, where the locomotive was wonted, and that his mad gestures were all dis sembled. . ... EXTRAORDINARY RACE. SOME years ago a race was run at the Hague, in Holland, which, for its novelty, excited more than ordinary in terest. It was between a fast trotting horse and a full-grown hog ; distance, six English miles. The circumstances which led to this unique trial of speed were as follows : At a club at the Hague a young mem ber expatiated upon the beauty, sym metry, and extraordinary speed of a trotting horse he had that day pur chased, expressing an eager desire to get up a match, to prove the superior quali ties of his horse. A gentleman re marked : " I have a hog which I would not hes ltato to run against him."' Peals of laughter greeted this strange proposal, to which, when partially sub Bided, the owner of " grunty" quietly interposed : " Well, gentlemen, I now challenge to run my hog Nero against that gentle man's fast trotter, in harness, six Eng lish miles, provided that the horse carry two persons, and that fourteen days' time be allowed me for training my animal." "Agreed!" "Agreed!" resounded all round ; for the joke was deemed too good and too novel to give it the go-by. It was agreed that the match should come off that day fortnight.at 11 o'clock A. M. precisely; and the beautiful ave nue leading from the Hague to the sea shore at Schevenlngen was selected as the course. The news of this extraordinary match for a trial of speed between a fast trot ting horse and a full grown porker, spread like wildfire, and caused the most intense excitement among the people, all eager to see the fun. The day was anxiously looked for, and the training of Nero began. On the first day poor Nero was starved, strict orders having been given by his owner that no one should feed him, him self alone attending to that matter. On the second day Nero was pretty sharp set, when punctually at 11 o'clock, his master made his appearance. A rope was securely fasteued to one of his trotters, and his master drove him with many a kick and forcible persua sion all the way over the course to Schevenlngen, where he fed him upon a scanty meal of two herrings, which Nero ravenously devoured, after which be had to trot back to the Hague. It may be proper here to remark that tho hog prefers fish to nny other kind of food. On the third day Nero felt perfectly ravenous; but he had to bide his time, and Ids master had to resort to the strictest hog discipline to start lilm ofT when, at 11 o'clock, he presented him self to drive him over the course. After a liberal nnd energetic applica tion of the booted foot and a little loud and angry discussion between the re spective parties, they arrived nt their Journey's end, where Nero was regaled with three herrings, being one extra, ond which he dispatched voraciously In double quick time, looking for more, but in vain. He was then, with much coaxing and kicking, persuaded to resume the return trip homeward.whicli wns safely accom plished by vigorous squealing and deter mined grunting on the part of Nero. On tho fourth day, punctually at 11 o'clock, when his master presented him self, Nero seemed to understand some what the object of his calling; he walked off not only without compul sion, but at a. good round pace, to get to his journey's end, where his master re galed him not alone with his coveted dinner of three red herrings, but, as a reward for his tractability and conduct, with one herring extra, which Nero de voured with incredible velocity ns soon as they came within reach of his grinders. On the fifth day, Nero was fully up to the game, and' his master experienced considerable difficulty to keep up with him. At Schevening the usual allow ance, now four herrings, was given him and disposed of in short metre. On the day following, and up to the time of his race, his master had no fur ther difficulty with Nero but to keep up with him, Nero invariably taking the lead, although on tho return trips the same difficulties always recurred. A vigorous application of boots was, In such case, the only convincing argu ment with Nero, who never could see the point nor comprehend the necessity of this bock-track movement, and squealed and grunted his objection. On the ninth day Nero had become perfectly trained, and having grown ex tremely thin upon his scanty meals, he now ran like a race-horse, a veritable Eclipse, invariably distancing his mas ter, who followed with a fast trotting horse In harness. Both exercise and spare diet were, however, strictly adhered to up to the day preceding the one on which the race was to come off. On that.the thirteenth day, as on the first day, poor Nero was aguin starved. At the usual hour of 11 his master appeared, but Nero was doomed to disappointment no trot, no herring on that day. With eager eye and impatient grunt he signified his desire to be released from his pen, but alas 1 it was not so to be ; he had to submit to a day of fasting to prepare for the race. On the fourteenth day both horse and pig appeared at the starting-post, eager for the race. It was a beautiful day, and the road was lined the entire dis tance on both sides with spectators eager to see the sport. Punctually at 11" o'clock, at tap of drum, off they started, amind shouts of the multitude. The first two miles were closely contested ; it was emphatically a neck-and-neck race; but Nero, light as a feather, and having in his mind's eye his delectable meal, now fairly flew over the ground, gradually leaving the horse behind, keeping the lead the entire distance. Amid shouts, the waving of handkerchiefs, and the wildest excitement, he reached the ending-post, beating the the horse by half a mile and winning the race triumph antly. For this extraordinary performance Nero was rewarded with a pailful of herrings, which having feasted upon to his heart's content, he waddled back to Hague. Earth from Borneo. In the last century a merchant vessel came Into London docks with yellow fever, and the captain was suffering se verely from it, and no one would go near the sufferers. Dr. Fothergill, how ever, went on board, partly out of com passion, and partly from his deal to study a disease which was new to him, and he removed the captain to his own house, and finally succeeded in getting him through the fever. When the cap tain recovered, he Inquired from the doctor what he was in his debt, but Fothergill refused to receive any pay ment. The captain then wished to know how he could compensate him for such kindness, upon which the doctor replied that there was one thing he could do for him, If he were making a voyage to the East, and would pass through the straits of Macassar by Borneo, he should be glad if he would bring him back two barrels full of earth of Borneo, which the captain promised to do. However, when be reached the srjot of his vovasre out, he thought of the ridicule he must experience from his crew in so strange an undertaking, and his heart failed him, and he sailed through the straits without fulfilling his intention. On his return by the snme route the sntne thing happened again through his fear of tho scoffs of his crew. However, when he had left the straits 200 or possibly 800 miles behind him, his conscience smote him with his Ingratitude nnd the non fulfillment of his promise, and he put tho ship's head about, returned to the spot, and filled the barrels with the earth. On his return he sent It to Dr. Fothergill, who had the surface of the ground thoroughly burned, nnd he then sprinkled the Borneo earth on it, when It is a known fact that there came up all kinds of new and curious plants, said to be 100 diflerent sorts, some geraniums, nnd new flowers, which have sub. sequently spread throughout the gar dens of England. A Submerged City In the Lake of Geneva. A strange discovery in reported from the Lake of Oeneva. A tourist paving lost his trunk, two divers were employ ed to search for it. Wlille they were below water they found what they sup posed to be a village, since covered by the lake. Their statements led to an in vestigation of the spot by the municipal authorities, who took measures to ascer tain the truth of the extraordinary nc count of the divers. On covering the placid surface with oil, these latter were able to distinguish the plan of the town, streets, squares, and detached houses, making the bed of the lake. The rud dy hue which characterized them led the observers to suppose that the build ings had been covered with the famous Vermillion cement which was used by the Celts, Cimbri, and the early Gauls. There are about 200 houses arranged over an oblong surface, near the middle of which Is a space more open, supposed to have been used for public assemblages. At the Eastern extremity lies a large square tower, which was taken for a rock. A superficial Investigation seems to indicate that the construction of these buildings dates from some centuries be fore our era. The Council of Vaud has decided to have the site of the dwellings Inclosed by a jetty stretch from the land and to drain off the water, so as to bring to light what promises to be one of the most Interesting archwologlcal dis coveries of our day. - 4 " Don't You Vant to Py a Hog ?" I had just become interested in one of Jules Verne's Moon stories, when a thundering knock at the front door shook the house. Answering the call I met big Sam Slaughterbeck, from Slum Oullion Hollow. " Well, Sam, what do you want ?" I said. " Don't yer vant to py a hog ?" Sam asked. I was irritated by the interruption, so I asked, sarcastically : "Are you for sale?" As Sam was waxing wroth at this, I put in another short saying : " How long has your hog been sick ?" As 1 hastily closed the door against Sam's fist I could hear him saying : " Nay, nay, I bees no hog. Mine hog no been sick. I kilt sixty-tree and they all died of cut throats. Yusht you come out here anoder time. I tol you have you any sick hog. Yaw, yaw, I mash your eyes over your nose. Don't it. Tunner and blltzen I yusht pound you to death, for told me mine hog vash sick ?" The last I saw of Sam he was at a near neighbor's door repeating the query, "Don't yer vant to pyahog?" SyUEDUNCT. tW A lady io Geauga county, Oliic, re fused to pay ber taxes because of non rep resentation, but ono of ber kind-bearted neighbors came forward and discharged the tax, saying : " We tbink a great deal of Miss E down where she is known. She is doing this from principle, and I don't know but what she is half right after all. I will pay the tax, and then, after I explain the matter, she will be willing to pay me, but she would never pay an officer."

While every body looked astonished, be picked out his men, marched them out of the building at the muzzle of his wewpon, and, turning on the step, shouted to the minister that he could go on with the benediction. Of A widow In New York, while perusing the family Bible the other day, came upon a note given in favor of her husband some two years previous. She sued the maker of the note, and was awarded over $400 for obeying the In junction : " Search the Scriptures." 3 As a trial of a breach-of-promise suit was about to begin in San Fran cisco, a juror arose and asked to be ex cused, because he was engaged to be mar ried, and consequently Lb mlud was not free from bias.
