Wayside Gatherings. Tlu* new Mayor of New Orleans is named Shakspearo. Sixtv-twosoldiersof the regiment stationed at Port Townsend, Washington Territory, are legally married to squaws belonging to Indian tribes in the neighborhood. M iss Patey said, when a Chicago clergman, in a marriugo ceremony, asked her if she would love, honor, and obey her husband : ‘I will love and honor him, but whether I will obey him depends on circumstances.” Mr. Thomas Hughes, Q. C., said, in a Philadelphia lecture, that he could not speak enthusiastically of the cost of living in this country. He hand found that he could not buy for a dollar here more than he could get for a shilling at home. Prof. Levi, in lecturing at King’s College, London, on the value of a good harvest to trade and manufactures, said that every day of sunshine during forty or fifty days after July 15, St. Swithin’s day, was worth about §5,000,000 to the country. A mechanic at Beaufort, 8. C., intent upon suicide by drowning, but desirous that his body should be recovered, fastened lead to Ins head and life preservers to his feet before leaping into the water. So he was quickly drowned, while his legs floated. George S. Walker is being prosecuted in Philadelphia for marrying his niece. The Pennsylvania law on the subject says that “ no woman shall marry her mother’s broth er,” and Walker’s lawyers argues that it does not forbid the brother to marry the niece. A decision has not been reached. A soap-eating match was a diversion at K| iringlield, Ohio. Tire quickest devourer of a bar of yellow soap got a prize of §5. The winner performed the feat in less than an b >ur, but was much longer in the hands of a phys ieian, because the lye poisoned him. D. C. Iveson, of Connellsville. Pa., went to Scotland to look after an estate which he thought he might have inherited ; arrived there just in'time to listen to positive testi mony that he was dead ; got SIOO,OOO in cash as his inheritance; saw the perjurers sen tenced to prison for twelve years, and re turned home with the money. Last spring J. N. Marden, of Baltimore, Md., trie l the experiment of keeping the frost away from 2,500 of his pear trees by building fires around them on .severe nights, llis orchard contains 15,000 trees, and those treated as above described yielded fruit that sold for more than §6.000, while the balance of the orchard produced comparatively little. Matthews, of Mowryville, lowa, rises earty every morning, and rings a big bell at 5 o’clock to awaken his workmen. Pinney, who lives close by, likes to sleep late, and he begged Matthews in vain not to sound the bell. lie never goes to bed until 12 o’clock, and now at midnight lie fires a cannon to disturb the slumber of Pinney. Between the midnight gun and the 5 o’clock bell, the inhabitants of Mowryville curse both Pinney and Matthews. The ex-Empress Carlotta has fortunately lost all memory of her Mexican experience, never making any allusion to it. The un happy Princess, in the darkness of her mind, still retains the habits of court etiquette, exacts all ceremonious adjuncts, even to a guard of honor, and always attires herself in a handsome costume for dinner. The only visitor whom she consents to see is Queen Marie Ilenriette, who shows a kindly devotion to the invalid, which does her honor. The bridegroom of a Waukegan wedding was a Baptist and the bride a Methodist. They had agreed that, immediately after the ceremony, they would decide by chance which should embrace the other’s religion. The officiating clergyman declined to toss up a cent, partly because he would not counte nance such a proceeding, and partly because being a Methodist, he might be accused of fraud if the bride won. The bride herself finally threw the coin, and lost. When she went to join the Baptist,s however, they re jected her because she did not believe in close communion. That displeased the hus band, Und he went over with tier to the Meth odists. Dr. Tanner said, as to his coming fast in England: “They may select six men, as near my age and physical condition as pos sible. They can take wine, beer, or any spirituous liquor during the fast, and I will take water only, and we'll see what the result will be. lam sure they can’t stand it, and the reason is plain. When I fasted I lived on myself—on the decomposition of my tis sues. I lost half a pound a day in tissues. It was as nourishing to ine as half a pound of any otiier animal tissue. Now, as I said, alcohol checks the decomposition of tissue. Suppose I’d taken alcohol into my system during my fast. It would have stopped my supply of nourishment, and I'd have starved to death.’’ That peculiar Boston savings bank, the Ladies’ Deposit, has not yet come to disaster, and its operations remain a mystery. It is run by Sarah E. Howe, who was formerly a clairvoyant, and has been imprisoned twice on charges of swindling. Professedly, the Ladies' Deposit is a charity for the encourage ment and help of provident women. De posits are taken only from unmarried women who work for a living, and on these interest is paid at the rate of four per cent, a mouth. W ,en asked to explain how she can afford to do that, she replies vaguely that she has a fund contributed for the purpose by some benevolent Quakers. No trace of any invest ment by her can be found, except the pur chase of a $:>0,000 house in her own name. Interest has been paid promptly for about two years, aud most of the denositors have confidence in the concern. The newspapers, however, denounce it as a fraud. ALWAYS AHEAD!
