DAILY ENQUIRER.suy : COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1874. “What station do yon oalt thia?" uld t man aa he crawled oat of the de- bri. Of e railroad a»aalio*. "Deeaata- tio»,” replied the nitoane oondnetor. —“Well, how did you get along ?" in- paired a conntry landlord one rain, Doming, of a gnoat whom he had put in “top mom, under a lukj roof. “Oh, swimmingly," waa the reply. —A thief who abetracted a theuaand dollar check from the gifts diaplayed at a wadding, only to find that the old man', balaooc in the bank waa font dollars and fifty oents, tbinka there ia no obanee for bonaat industry in thia country. —A. cynic obaerved : “If there ia any thing that will reconoile a man to marritd life, it la the knowledge that ateala over him like a dream aa he burata a button off hia trowaera that there ia one at home who ean repair the damage." —Monkeys never grow older in exprea- aion. A young monkey looke exactly like bis grandpa melted up and born over again. —A boy once complained of hia broth er for taking half of the bed. “And why not,” said hia mother^ “he ia entitled to half, ia he not?” “Yea, ina,”siid the boy, “but how should you like to have him to take all the soft for his halt? He will have his half out of the middle, and I have to aleep on both aides of him.” —You can't tell muoli about the girls nowadays, they are so like a good news paper—capitally made up. To see a girl as she really is, you must drop in on her unexpectedly. As some one has remarked, the way to lind a girl out is to call when aha ian t in. —A spread-eagle orator wanted the wings of a bird to fly to every village and hamlet in the broad land, but he wilted when a naughty boy in the crowd sang out: “You'd be shot for a goose before you had died a mile.” —When a Chicago woman answered the door-bell and waa informed that her hnabgnd bad been drowned, she sank down and worshipped: “And the bill for •GO worth of false hair is to come up at fouro’olock—ooh—hooh!”—Detroit P rear. —Doing his beat. Theodore Hook was once asked for a contribution to the treas ury of the Society for the Conversion of the Jews. He said he waa quite unable to give any money, but if the society would send him a Jew he would do his best to convert him. —By the laws of Massachusetts, one hog, among other articles, is exempted from aeisure for debt; but a sharp credi tor in Holyoke recently played a sharp game to get possession of the fat hog of a neighbor who was indebted to him in a small sum. The creditor bought a two- dollar pig, presented it to the debtor, and then lawfully attached the hog, realizing thirteen dollars by his sharp practice. A Princely Swindler. The Pali Mall Uaxette says: “A swin dler of a really high order of ability has lately brought a brilliant career to a dose at Moaoow in the person of an ex-prince, Demetrius Taihawtsohawadze, who has been levying contributions at a dozen of the ohief towns in Europe, London being especially mentioned, with continued suu cess. The Prince never changed his very unpronounceable name or his store, after the fashion of those more vulgar impos tors who contradict themselves by the fre quency and multiplicity of their inventions. He wss always a Bus sian prince, bad always been robbed just before leaving Vienna by young man he had unfortunately taken into his servioe as secretary was always expecting large remittances from fib Petersburg, and was meanwhile in the e/osest relations of intimaoy with the Buasian Ambassador. It followed that he was for the present unable to pay the bill he ran up at the hotel whioh he had honored wilh his choice, and was further in want of a now secretary, to whom he oould promise a line future career and a large salary in immediate prospeot. “So plausible was this adventurer, that at Berlin he not only left one of the chief hotels without suspicion before his remit tanoea arrived, promising to send payment of his acoount, wbioh included a number of petty tradesmen's bills, from London, but carried off with him to that metropo lis his landlord's son, whose little purse of nearly £60 his new master borrowed freely from, leav. ing hia victim just enough to go back to Berlin with, when he was presently dared there to await the Prinae on his way to Buaaia. On the young man’s de parture the Prinoe, who had been intro duced to BuBsiana of means, borrowed £800 from one, according to the state manta made in the Moaoow court, and with this booty went ofT to Paris. Here, again, he borrowed from Bussians on the strength of hiB alleged intimaoy with their ambus sador at Berlin, but disappeared on learning that inqniriea were being made about him, owing to a warning sent from that oapital Having tried all the European courts out of bis own country,he appears to have sought refuge at Moscow but hers hia carreer ended. He was ar rested on suspicion, and presently identi fled with one Linieff, a non-ooinminioned officer, who deserted some months before. For this desertion the soi-disant prince now lies awaiting trial, but his swindling ia only mentioned ineideutally.” ■Eastern Marring os. The village where we are staying 1b in a narrow and deep valley, ao that if we were to die suddenly it would take a long time to rise to heaven. We find wooder- ful customs here. Girls, newly born, are hastily engaged to boys not a year old. In every house there are several engaged girls, and alto several engaged boys, so that if we should wish to engage our Zanops (about four years old) perhaps we oould not find a girl, but it would be nec- esaary to wait until a new one was born; then if we heard quiokly of her birth we might eeoure her, otherwise there would be no hope. These past days several obildren were married who could not tie theirgirdlea, they were so small. In my school some of the boys and girls are married and some are engaged. The girls are sold, aa oows or other ani mals, for from B7G to $176. That is, two mules oould be bought with the price of one girl. (Widows are worth more than girls, beoause already trained to work.) Brides are not permitted to speak to oertain of their husband's relatives for P»Y COODS. JUST RECEIVED : 100 Pieces Black Alpaca!

The i i women shave half their heads from the back to the orown, and in plaoe of their hair they bind a great deal of cloth. Many times I hare seen heavy loads on the baoke of young brides. The women bring water front a great distance. They wash their clothes, with their feet, in cold water, without soap. Their washing pla on lie on my way to schoo*. Often I see ten or fifteen women, det-cended to the liver, who continually so strike the olothes, keeping time with thsir feet, that they make a great noise. This winter there oame ao great cold that I hardly dared go out, yet in the coldest weather, the women, in great crowds, washed their olothee etanding in the freezing water.
