Cleveland grunts more marriage licenses on Monday than on uuy other day—the result of Sonday night’s sparking. They have become so lastidioos in Indiana that they will give a woman a divorce if her nnsband merely boxes her ears. A marriage recently occurred near Walnut Bill, in Warren county, Kentucky, in which the bride was only eleven years old and the groom thirteen. A St. Paul woman who used to keep three girls now does her own work cheerfully. She found her husband throwing kisses at them. ff A man who rode in the same car with a bridal couple from New York to Washington j heard her call him “dear Charles” just 518 i times. A Green Bay man w hose wife was preserved i from drowning bunded Her preserver fifty I cents, and told him to go to the dollar store and get a diamond pin on bis account A happy couple in Iowa, having been twice ; married and twice divorced, are now doing • their courting for the third time; and the f parson and lawyer hope the’ll be steady cus- , tomers for many years to come. An Illinois county clerk relnsed to issue a 1 marriage license because the man was only four j feet high, while the woman was six. The cierk obstinately insisted that if it wasn't against the law it ought to be. One of the complaints filed by Mrs. Patter- | son, of Ohio, in her suit for divorce, is that! her hnsband made her eit a quantity of pota to purmgs and apple cores. She couldn’t stand such a system of domestic economy. An Indianapolis woman advertises as fol lows: “Wanted—The people to know that 1 left my husband, Henry Todd, one year ago, because I ascertained that ho was part negro, and had deceived me.

The Rochester boys test each other’s grit j by submitting to have their teeth pulled out | with a pair of pincers. ‘ What a melancholy a oild, 'sidd Coleridge, ! “this wonld be without children, and what an inhuman world without the aged." Litttle Gas.-ie sprinkled her mother's new ninety dollar bat. She thought it a “ ’tunnin’ flower darden." Howls were heard in that neighborhood for the next half boor. A young man at Racine pot a piece of phos phorus in his pocket to mark ou the wall at home, and the way he got out ot his clothing was astonishing to pedestrians. If to physic, a mao haa no child of hi* own. Let him physic the brats of his neighbors; Let him think ol aome draught their young stomachs to tone. And be cursed by the nurse for his labors. One of the most striking features of a mother’s care and affection is putting black patches on light colored pants. Of coarse you know better, bat when yon see a boy rigged with two aoch patches, you can't help but feel that be ean see what transpires be hind b*m without turning his head. One of the fruit dealers of Portland caught an urchin stealing nuts, and proceeded to ad minister condign punishment. The boy begged to be released, because he bad ja*t been vaccinated from a fresh cow. “What has that to do with it? ‘ shouted the infuria- j ted fruit dealer. “She was a hooking cow, ! and it got into my blood," was the whimper- mg reply. The pranks of tbe children st Long Branch hare awakened the indignation of a corres pondent of the Philadelphia Press, who thinks that if tbe old nursery rhyme be true, the prince of darkness most be busy during the summer derising pastimes for them. He says: “Nice little boys and girls trundle tin wagons up and down the piazzas, pound the floor with croquet mallets, shy croquet bulls at each other's beads, and hit each other on tender and accessible points with their toy whips, thus producing a series of loud roars to add to the general confusion, while the ba bies in arms look on and add their shrieks to heighten the general effect.'

LOW. Thackeray’s People. John Etitc a Cooke, in Hearth-sad Hiuie. I was talking one day with the late Mr. Tbackeray--a most excellent, genial gentle man and companion—in reference to authors and books, and most especially about his own books, which he spoke of with lraukness and unreserve, ns though they had been written by a third person. One or two things be said which sir me k mo loucib.y at tbe time, and have remained in iny memory affording me food for reflection. \V« were speaking ot the sketch. -“Mr. Deuceaee and bis Priends" (I think, that is the title), iu which appears tbe finished rascal and sereaolx smiling scoun drel, tbe Earl of Crabs. “ Where did von meet with the original of the ‘Earl of Crabe,’ Mr. Thackeray ? " was my query. . “ 1 never met PULLUM & LOW, WHOLESALE A RETAIL DRUCCISTS, Successors to Heard, Craig A Co., ; WHO WOULD BE WITHOUT A BATH TUB?

L never met with any." ** Yon drew him from your imagination ? w *• I suppose “ He is certainly the greatest scoundrel in literature, I think, not excepting Lord Steyne or any.” Mr. Thackeray acquiesced in this moral or immoral eminence attributed to the Earl, mused a moment, mailed in a good-natured way, and said: “I really don’t know where 1 got all these rascals in my books. I certainly never lived with such people." That is the first suggestive observation. I shall defer my moral reflection nntil I repeat the second. We same to talk ol “Vanity Fair" and the excellent Miss Becky Sharp, of whom Mr. Thackeray spoke with evident aelf-cougr&tH- lation. She had “ mode his fortune." he said, and be added frankly that he thought he had nev«r done anything better than tbe descrip tion of the manner iu which Madam Becky Crawley "came down ’ to tbe lowlife ol Bo hemia, after her epoch of social elevation as the friend of Lor^. Steyne. “There is one mystery abont Becky which haa always puzzled me. I oaid. “What is that ?" “Nearly at the end ol the book there is a picture of old Joe Sedley, gouty, night-capp ed, and sealed iu bin cany-chair, while behind a cortaiu stand* tbe ghu-tJy. glaring Becky, grasping a dagger.” “Yet.'’ “Beneath this picture is the single word CiylemneaUa." Mr. Thackeray nodded. “Did Becky kill him ?” Mr. Thackeray remained silent for a mo ment, aa tbe novelist says;a slow smile dawn ed upon hia face; he aesumed a reticent and secretive expression ot countenance, and at length replied is a confidential tone: “I don f t know.** DISSOLUTION.
