MITCHELL A ROSENBURY,
A Novel Sensation.
*
Tito Louisville Courier-Journal
says: There was a Chicago girl and
she dearly loved to read novels.
Those t.iat told of the adventures
of young women who did wonderful
things in a romantic way, braved
the terrors of the sea and breathed
the smoke of battle,all for thier true
love’s sake had peculiar charms for
her. So it came about that she
yearned to have a real adventure
on her own account. She longed
to disguise liersclf in male attire
and become’a heroine, and have a
hairbreath escape. Fortune favored
her. She had a lover, who in the
daytime swung the ponderous yard
stick in a down-town ■ dry goods
store, and who had his nights to
himself. In her eyes he was simply
adorable. He seemed noble, brave,
pure, and virtuous. It occured to
her to put him to the proof, and
straightway she hit upon apian.
One evning he called upon her, and
after an hour had been spent in
conversational pleasantries, he took
his departure. No sooner had he
gone than she hies herself to her
room, dons a full suit of her broth
er’s habiliments, and went forth on
lover’s trail. She saw him join a
companion. Soon after she found
herself in a bar room watching the
twain as they became hilarious over
wine and cigars She was shocked
at the tenor of their remarks,and at
the been-liere-before air that they
assumed. In short she shadowed
them from dive to dive until they
entered a gambling liell. After
them she speed, and simultauiously
with them walked into the tiger’s
lair. She took an elevated position
on the back of (ho chair and watch
ed her lover. He stepped to the far
o-table /ind began losing his money
with the usual success of a drunken
young man. Iritated at hist by his
reverse lie glanced around the room
for his friend and saw the boy-gill
looking at him. Thinking the boy
was a spy put upon liis track, he
launched an oath at her which
struck her full in the heart, and fol
lowed it with his fist, which struck
her full in the l’acc. She fell sense
less to the lloor. Hcl’ hat rolled oil
and disclosed to him the features of
his sweetheart. He called a hack
and saw her home. It is hardly
necessary to add that he never
pulled that door-bell again. She
had lost interest in novels, and her
faith in mankind has been rudelv
shaken. The moral of the story is
that the young men who are inclin
ed to sport should beware having
sweethearts that dote on fictitious
literature of the romantic kind.
How She Turned Presbyterian.—
Mrs. Magrutier will probably leave
Pr. Hopkins’ church, and go here
after to the Presbyterian, meeting
house. Dr. Hopkins last week had
a frightful boil on his leg, and he
experienced very severe puiu when
he tried to walk, While he was
setting in his study on Friday, Mrs.
Magruder called and was ushered
into the parlor. The servant went
up the back stairs to ti ll the doctor,
and while she was on the way the
doctor started down the front stairs
to get a drink of water. It hurt
him so much to walk up the steps
that he concluded to slide down the
banisters on his stomach, and so,
after looking carefulh over the
landing to satisfy himself that no
body was about, he mounted the
banister and. began to descend. The
stairs run directly pass the parlor
door, and Mrs. Magruder was
amazed to see • the clergyman de
scending with great rapidity, and
in that singular fashion. It seems
that the servant girl had placed a
coal sc itt’e by the newai-j ost while
she went for the doctor, and as he
descended with awful velocity, he
alighted in the scuttle and fell to
the lloor. Without being aware of
the presence of the visitor he leaped
up in a rage exclaiming: “Hang
that woman!” he gave the scuttle a
kick which sent it whirling into the j
parlor, where it brought up in Mrs.
Magruders lap. Of course she j
thought the demonstration and the ;
ejaculation was intended for her, I
and afti r rising to her feet, andl
shaking her umbrella at her pastor,!
she shouted. “If you kick another |
coal scuttle at me, I’ll punch the j
stuiiin out of you with this yer urn-;
brella! She emerged from the front ]
door with the conviction that Pres- |
bytenanism was the only religion ;
for her.

$2.50 A YEAR.
Objected to the Smell.
In 1867-GB, while the writer
was a resident of Nebraska, a young
man,from Missouri was part propri
etor of one of the two livery stables
of which the town then boasted.
One cold winter evening he was ap
proached by a squad of colored citi
zens, and interrogated as to the
charge for a four-horse sleigh and
driver for a party who wanted to gd
to a dance some eight or ten miles
down the river. He did not relish
the idea of acting in the capacity of
driver himself, and, as he had no
hand with whom he was willing to
trust his only available team, he en
deavored to “bluff them off” by
naming an exorbitant sum, cash in
hand, as the answer to their querry,
and was not a little nonplussed by
the prompt “All right, sail. Hab
'em ready at half-past seven. Here’s
you money,”
His prejudices fairly overcome by
the titillation of the money in his
hand, he drove the party to their
destination, hitched and blanketed
his team, and took his seat in the
house to await the “hour for retir
ing.”
The room was not large, the com i
pany was, and the roaring cotton
wood fire soon shot the mercury
away into the nineties, and the heat
most oppressive. White human na J
hire could stand it no longer, and
just as he had finally determined to
go out to the sleigh, roll himself up
in his robes in self-defence, our Jean
was approached by the master of
ceremoneis, and asked in a very
pompour manner, “Would you hab
any objections to go into de odder
room and set by do fire-place? Do
ladies objects to dc smell of de liosa
on your close.”
The alacrity with which he com
plied was ownly equal by the gusttf
with which he told the joke on him
self, always adding, “Served me
right for driving de gcrnmen, any
way.”
Civil, Righrs at Church. —Civil
Rights privileges were awarded to
two colored ladies at Trinity Epis
copal church, the most aristocratic
place of worship in the city of New
port, R. 1., and one visited almost
exclusively by the elite of the place
and summer visitors. The ladies
were shown to a vestryman’s pew,
who they represented to the sexton
had invited them. The vestryman
was absent, and the sexton at once
showed them to the desired pew,
which was occupied by two ladies
who were strangers, and who had
previously been shown in. The lat
ter were highly indignant at what
they termed an outrage, and
at once arose and indignantly Mfc’t
the church. The objects of the at
tention of all present (the colored
ladies) remained. This is the top
ic of conversation at Newport, as it
is the* first time a colox*ed person
was ever admitted to a prominent
seat in that church.
®g>. = Tlierc is a vast amount to
truth in this pithy summary which
the St. Louis Republican makes of
(fen. Grant’s six yegxs Presidential
service: “He had established pre
cedents which will vex us as long as
the nation lives, and has set an ex
ample which embraces all those
blunders and crimes which the ru
ler of a free ccun ry should avoid.
He has wrought more damage to
the Republican system in these six
years than his successors can repair
in the next fifty, and by his princi
ples and actions has done more to
demoralize public sentiment and
weaken public confidence in the
stability of free institutions than all
the trials and tyranies of civil war.
And with these credentials he has
the magnificent impudence to as
pire to a third term, and there are
fools and knaves who arc willing to
encourage and assist him in it!”

eloped with an heiress to Scotland,
was, as is usual in such cases, in a
great hurry to get married. So ea
ger was he to consummate his at
tachment, that he took his bride be

it. The latter who was a bit of a
wag, glanced at both of the interes

by saying: “My friends, to prevent
any mistake hereafter, tell me, with
out prevarication, if ye are both wo
men in disguise, or if not, which is
the man?”

hair of a rural customer, ran his
scissors against some hard sub
stance which proved to be a whet
stone. The old farmer said he had
missed that whetstone ever since
haying time last July, and had look
ed all over a ten acre held for it,
but now remembered sticking it over
his ear.
