‘AVc'lV said Ned Arlington, ‘for my
attounkys AT law, 1 pttrtt 1 nover loved but one, tuid sho is now
my better half.’
‘I tell you stranger,’ replied a follow
stagecoaonor, ‘you have lmd an easy court-
alilp. Now, I linvo been ro situated that
1 was compelled, to love two ladles.’
‘Two Indies, ’ retorted Ned.
‘Yes, sir, two ladles.’
‘Rut you did not love them both alike.’
‘Now, 8tmtiger, there was just tho trou
ble. I was thinking of this precise diffl-
culty when I remarked you lmd an easy
courtship.’
‘You puzzle mol’ exclaimed Ned. ‘Sun-
pose you relieve our minds by n rchorsai. ’
‘It will iifl'ord mo pleasure und your en
tertainment,’ rejoined tho handsome and
social fellow traveller.
Here we all leaned forward, intent on
hearing how a man wa» compelled to love
two Indies with the same degree of fervor.
‘My friends,’ said lie, ‘if you ever visit
New Haven, Connecticut, you will hear
these expressions: ‘As much alike ns the
Grover girls;’ or this, ‘Toucan no more
distinguish them than you can toll 8uo
from Jlnnnah Grover.’ Isay ladies and
gentlemen, when a New Havener Is a point
of smilitude, he Is sure to refer to the won
derful Grover girls.
‘I had not been in tho Elm City six hours
before I heard these comparisons. I went
to the place intending to enter a business
firm. On my arrival X stopped at the Ton
tine. At this hotel two gentlemen were
arguing a point of law, and It was then I
llrst heard tills langunge. One speaker
was proving that two expressions nearly
meant the same thing, and paralleled the
two propositions with tlio notorious twins.
‘Now there is one thing I linvo in com-
mon with women—that is eurlosily. Iown
il, and will confess that I was on nettles.
Never could I be appeased until I had a
view of these females.
‘Tell me,’ said I to tho bookkeeper, ‘are
these Grover girls so much alike?’
‘A re they?’ said he, in surprise. ‘Well,
1 tell you,‘Mr. Miller, if you can distin
guish them alter a week’s acquaintance. I
will pay your hills nt this house for tlie
balance of your residence.’
‘IIow can T see tin m?’
‘I’ll tell you. 01)h< rvo that bright look
ing gent with that white hat. That is Mr.
Roller, one of our rising lawyers. Ho is
intimntowith the sisters. Obtain an in
troduction to him and lie will sec you
through.’ „
‘ A re these ladies of good * landing?’
‘< )li! r.moing our llrst people. ’
I ‘Can Mr. Rotter distinguish them?’’
I ‘Never, sir, never; and lie looks with the
I eye of li detective.’
| ‘ ‘How long has he known them?’
! ‘Three or lour years, to nTy certain
; knowledge. It may he longer.”
! This determined me. 1 soon establish-
l ed myself with the lawyer by retaining

than willing to afford the introduction, as
he was anxious to see the fix their identity
never failed to create in a stranger. I will
I not forget that first interview. Two cx-
| quisitoly beautiful ladies of twenty enter;
j ed the room. 1 beheld duplicates. One
i was the precise copy of tho other. They
dressed alike, to a ribbon and a ring.—
Their voices and countenances gave no
due. Theu their motions loll you none
the wiser. '
Said Rotter: ‘Now take a good look, for
I want to see if you can identify them.’
‘Mr. Rotter,’ said I, ‘you will embarrass
the ladies.”
‘Not at all,’said one. ‘Wu arc used to
this,’ said the other. ‘It is great amuse
ment afforded by our resemblance. Here
both spoke, hut, on honor it all sounded
like one voice.
Said I, ‘ladies pardon me; I know you
arc not horses, hut allow me to look at your
teeth.
1 desire this, deeming there would Ixi
I found some little speck, idcutatiou or ir
regularity that would even serve ns an
■ index. They exhibited their pearl rows;
hut, after minute investigation, 1 was no
better informed. I examined the finger
nails, then the lines on their hands, still
I gave it ui), and Sue and Hannah might
forever exchange places without detection
on my part.
The ridiculous blunders of admirers
were frequent. Mantuamakers, Shoema
kers and tradespeople in general were con
tinually presenting Sue an account created
by Hannah, or telling Hannah some lingo
intended for the cars of Sue.
The beauty of the ladies impressed me.
They were of my style. An acquaintance
of two months demonstrated their superi
ority in all respects. I n brief l found my
self in love—hut with which one?
When tender ideas arose, 1 found it just
as natural to one as the other. Yes, Isol-
cmuly awr I was in love—I had this real
ibnuubinl article.
1 frequently took them out, yet never
knew whom L had. If my lady would quote
Sue, 1 thought it clear I had Hannah, or if
Hannah was mentioned, I believed I was
heauingSiie. Indeed, it was a mere mat
ter of faith. There was.no evidence, for
often one palmed herself on me as the oth
er. This was a chronic dodge played on
their various admirers to suit convenience
alid insure rest. As far as these gallants
were concerned, it was immaterial. Al
though one might he called for by name,
tho other would do just as well, no onobc-
intr able to detect tne difference.
J often implored them to contradistin
guish themselves by some article of ap
parel or jewelry. But it wns fruitless.—
‘That would spoil our fun,’ they would
exclaim, as though I meditated some ter-
iblc infliction.
As I have told you. I was in love. T felt
that my happiness depended on the pos
session of these twins. Rut for whom
should I ask the parents? 11onestly, it was
no matter which one I had, as affection
made no choice.
On a lovely eve in September, one sister
was from home. Now, thought 1, here is
a surety that I can talk a whole evening to
one of this duel phenotnenoh. As she en
tered the parlor said I: ‘How do, you Miss
Hannah?’ ‘You arc wrong sir: it is Miss
Sue.’ ‘Are you humbugging?’ ‘Truly
not. 1 tell you sincerely you now address
Sue Grovers. ‘I saw she looked unusually
tender, and taking advantage of her fal
tering voice and tremulous manner, I de
clared my love, and was told that she re
turned it with all the ardor of her true and
impassioned nature. I summoned the old
folks, told our devotion, gave my prospects,
and made all essential revelations. The
senior Grovers gaye us their blessings, and
assured us that they would see our course
of life ‘should run smooth.’
Rut what if the other girl wore to cornel
Wlinta.pretty mixl—liow would lever
know my girl? though again I assure you
it would nave made no difference. I would
have proposed to Hannah just the same.
My only trouble was in the* multitude of
embarrassments incident to non-distin-
guishment. On this ground I lmd genu
ine trouble.
Refore Hannah returned, I invited Sue
to take a walk on the green, IVhen oppo
site the center of the church I spoke of the
betrothal ring, requested her to please let
me see the ring she wore. She took it off„
and I carelessly played with it to throw her
oil’ her guard—then calling her attention
to a party of students took my Congress
knife and drew the file blade through the
inner part. I left a nice mark, and by this
I hoped to identify her in future. On our
return to the house, I secretly posted her
parents. They said that I aid proper—

that it was time Sue should he recognised
by her afilaneedl
‘You think you arc smart,* said sho,
ore I lclt her.
‘Why,’ replied I.
‘Oh!’ responded sho, ‘that ring game 1ms
been tried by admlfdofcon atmilrcrs. I
suplcioned what you were at. but thought
I would sco how many lmmls would con
ceive tho samo plan.’ Tho noxt day,
neither she nor her sister wore n ring.—
One >veek after, they resumed them; hut
In neither wns there a mark. It wns evi
dent that 1 was to be outgeneraled, and
would hnvo to depend on tho discretion of
my intended, and tho goodness of tliclr
parents.
At parties I had severo trials—I novor
knew whom I took homo, and even, when
homo, would talk a flood of love to tho
wrong girl nml receive a laugh for my en
thusiasm. ‘llnngitl’ said I; ‘thocrcnm
of the Joko is—I can’t bo revenged, for I
might hurt tho wrong lady.’
The betrothed ring wns given. Now,
thought I, there is a termination to my
discomfiture. Well, it did terminate just
in twenty-four hours—Ilnnnnh took Sue’s
ring, wont to a jeweler and ordered one
precisely like it, and hearing tho same in-,
seriptlon. Moreover she charged him to
see that tho engraving wns counterfeited
beyond recognition. It was done, Suo was
I. Now what could I do? Had Sue been
M illing, I could have schemed 40 devices.
Rut sue relished the dish, and never would
cooperate. Wedding-day conic. I must
take a young lady on the M’ords of herself
and parents. ‘Well.’ said I meaningly,
so I get one of the girls my object will oe
accomplished.
Tho ceremony M'ns performed before an
immense throng, in the largest church in
the city. The bridal dress fortunately en
abled me to adhere to ourCongrntulalious
being over, my beautiful hrido and I ad
journed to Niagara, and inspected several
Canadian cities and towns. ‘All!’ said I
lovingly, to my wife, ‘Sue, darling, I will
knoM*, you How.’ ‘How?’ said she:
‘Ry the diamond ring,’ replied I.—
‘Can’t ho too sure, Clarence.’ ‘All!’
laughed I. ‘Hannah Mill not annoy mo
any further.’ Rut, alas! for earthly
hopes. My beloved told her sister the
name of the New York! importer, and on
our return, a small baud was proffered, on
which M’ns a fac simile of the bridal gift.
She now went to her room, and attiring
herself in one of the twin garbs, I was
again unable to recognize my omui wife.
Now. ladies nml gentlemen, business
suddenly called me to Neu r Orleans. .While
there my treasure died. I M'ns grieved,
yet from the fact that Hannah lived, my
agony M'ns hut temporary. I returned two
weeks a tier the funeral. My sister-in-law
wore neither hetliornl or diamond ring.—
There M'ns nothing to lie gained by it, and
they M’cro laid aside. My friends, I am ex-
trcmoly sensitive; a mere child; yet, hc-
li vi* in v!i' n l t,.*!l you the presence of
Hannah was a pullct and speedy restora
tive. I could not weep. Was she not the
same as Sue in all respects? True M'lien
l saw the family sail I was troubled; hut
only on account of their grief. I had none
of niv om’ii. All that I loved was in an
exact duplicate, as that moved before me
as of yore. Yes, I confess that no loving
husband over suffered less.
In eighteen months I stood in the same
church, and it seemed before the same con
course. As Hannah M'as given tome in
the holy estate of matrimony, it appeared
that 1 was enacting a farce and re-inarry-
ingmy own M ite!

A Neglected I rleud.
The editor of the Pittsburg Daily Rost
claims to have been one of Grant’s very
earliest political friends, hut ho does not
seem to have a very high idea’of the Pres
ident's gratitude in his case. He says:
Early in ’07 this paper brought him out
for the Presidency, in an article which
was quoted up to the hour of the election,
and lie lias never said thank you, nor in
quired afrer our health. We made a mis
takeInu’Astingbrainsinn’riling his praise,
for like Madelon in Eanchon, wc forgot lie
could not, or u’lmt m as the same thing,
M-ould not rend. Wo sfliould have sent him
a III bio or pony to have enjoyed his favor
and influence.
Orant’N Appointment*.
The Cincinnati Enquirer has thcfollow’-
iiig about Grant's administration:
Grant has sent negroes to represent the
United .States at Ilayti and Liberia as
ministers resident. To one of the most
lucrative offices in New Orleans liu ap
points a negro. For the postofllce at Rich
mond lie selects a Northern strong-mind
ed M’oinan. For Governor of Montana lie
chooses tlie notorious corruntionist. Jim
Ashley. His cabinet is made up of men
who gave him houses and lots and dona
tions. of money. Jlis relatives and those
of his M’ife swarm in all of the public olli-
ces. This is the man who, forsooth, M’as
to reform the politics of the country—so wc
were told helorc the election.
Murder of it White Hoy by n Negro liny.
A Quitman correspondent of tho Savan-
nah News, snys: On last Sabbath, 18th, a
little hoy, aged about ten years, and son
of Mr. Alexander Humphreys, of Rrooks
county, went fishing with a negro boy
about fifteen years ofngc. During the day
the negro killed the uliiteboy and ran off.
He wns apprehended and confessed the
deed.
Tt»« Career of a frtiorrlllu’n Itrldc—A
Itomiuico or the Late Civil War.
Nearly every pleasant day pedestrians
on our principal avenues pass a dnrkA*ycd
brunette, of medium size, plump flguro
and richly dressed. In tho early spring of
1801, Silo Kltcradgc, a lovely girl Just re
turned from boarding school, lived upon
her father’s plantation in one of tho rural
districts of Kentucky, uncertain whether
to risk her fiitc with the new “Confedera
cy” or hang hack. She M’ns seventeen,
and a frequent visitor at tho adjoining
plantation of Mr. Mundy, an old gentle
man, whoso wife and son, a young man,
composed a lmppy family.
One day a company of Union cavalry
rode down upon tho place, plundered tho
premises, carried off tho valuables, burn
ed tho residence and finally slaughtered
the parents, who wore defending their om’U
firesides, laying waste'tho country in their
track, ami leaving Mundy and Suo orplmns
indeed. Young Mundy M’as at last arous
ed, and while being earried oft* a prisoner
no words escaped his lips but .Sue”—
nrobably tho effect of a disordered brain.
JUm linen oxamined, tho indcliblo name of
“Mundy” Mas found, and ever after he
M’as knoM’n as “Suo Mundy,” tho constant
terror of Union citizens and soldiers in
that section. Released on parole, he im
mediately returned and interred tlie char
red remains of his own parents, as well as
the body of Mr. IC.
Taking a solemn and fearful oath of ven
geance. and accompanied by Sue, who M’as
now M’ithout home or frieuds in the wide
wpfld, hestarted fora neighboring camp
of bushu’hackcrs or guerrillas, where he
M’as received with open arms, and M’as
soon promoted to the office of commandor
of tin} force, while Sue, disguised, and pass-
ing by the name of “ICit,” an abbrevia
tion of Kiteradge, proved invaluable as a
spy, a fearless rider, and of undoubted
bravery. Kit, after serving nearly tu’o
years as spy and general planner lor the
hand, found her health failing. Disguis
ed, and armed with tho highest testimo
nials, she succeeded In securing a position
on the staff of Gen. Cleburne, the nardcst
fighting Irishman in the Rebel nrmy.
This position sho held, doing hdr duty
like a man, until the battle of Franklin,
Nov. 80,18(14, In which Rat. Cleburne was
killed. Returning to her vouthlul hero
and his hand, she again revelled in the car
nival of blood, and though her evil spirit
M as M illing, the flesh M’as M’cak, ami Kit
M*as again transferred to guard duty at
Andcrsonvillc, Geo. Prisoners who have
shared the hospitality of that celebrated
camp Mill perhaps remember a short,
stout and muscular lieutenant, with flash
ing black eyes, a face smooth as a maiden’s,
and cruel, as though, a fiend iticarhntc
lurked M’ithln. This M’ns Sue Kiteradge,
the amiable young hoarding school miss,
the cheerful companion, the once wealthy
heiress, the beautiful maiden and firm
friend of young Mundy, u’hoso life to her
M as dearer than her own.
Suo Mundy and a part of his band u’ero
captured, and tried hv a court martial.—
Kit M as present during the whole trial,
and used ncr greatest influence, but of no
avail. Sue Mundy M’as convicted and
hung at Louisville, Kentucky, in March,
1805. Tlie flowing hair still hung about
hisFhouldors, and when his youthful corpse
M’as taken down and laid away in Ids nar-
roM’ bed, tlie bleeding and broken heart of
Sue Kiteradge u irs buried with it; and now.
a M’anderer on tlie face of the earth, home
less and friendless, sho lives M’ithout hope
of heaven or mercy, forsaken and dishon
ored, and cast au’ny.—Detroit Post.

that he became a Knight Templar on the

A Mom© Jumps Down n Judge’ll Throat
While Judge Archer, of Marshall, Iml.,
was reniovingsome boxes from a shelf, one
day this week, a mouse jumped out of one
of them and into tlie mouth of the Judge
and started directly down his throat. Tlu
Judge, unlike John Chinaman, did not rel
ish tlie taste, and, after several liau’ks
succeeded, despite tho efforts of the mouse,
in getting him out of his throat into his
mouth, but M’as rather slow in getting hold
of the “little devil,” and lie made another
attempt to get down the Judge’s throat,
hut M as again unsuccessful. Whether tlie
mouse was trying to commit suicide, or
whether lie M’untcd merely to “revive tho
inner man,” M’o have no u’ay of ascertain
ing, hut we arc assured that lie was sue
ecssful in scaring the Judge considerably

The New York Times notices the grand
popular ovation to Ex-President Johnson,
wherever he goes in the State of Tennes
see, and adds:
“Wo have no doubt that these scenes
will be repeats wherever Mr. Johnson
may choose to go in the South. The fact
is, the Southern pcoplo regard the ex-pres
ident as their friend and defender against
a ‘despotic Congress’ led by Stevens and
Butler; and they consider that, though lie
failed, it wns after a tremendous light for
theni^ in which lie hinisylf sacrificed ev
erything. Then? is no doubt that he will
lie back in the Semite before the close of
President Grant’s term.”

The New York Shipping and Commer

tho Young Jlyson Tea plant have been re

obtained through the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington, in 1858, grew well,
and have obtained a size from six to eight
feet. From tlie experiments made in Ten
nessee, it seems that tlie eastern part of
that Stato is well fitted for the growtli of
this plant.”

The Singing nml Love Fifth of Florida.
Olio day, ns I M’as returning to Tallahas
see from a hunting excursion in Florida,
M’o were rowing along by the shore, about
sunset, when suddenly a strange, grave
and prolonged sound struck my car. At
first I thought it must be a drone, or
fly of extraordinary magnitude; but see
ing nothing, I questioned my guide ns to
M'hat it could lx*. “Oh, ma’ssa,” replied
he, “dat is do fish what sings. Some call
it siren, or mermaid fish, and others musi-
co.” A little way on, wo heard a greater
chorus of the charming voices, reminding
me faintly of tho music of church organs.
I Htopncd the canoe, tho better to study
this strange phenomenon; M’lien, at my
request, my sable oarsman threw a net in
to the water, nnd soon laid at tlie bottom
of the boat about a scoro of little fish, each
about ten inches long, resembling the grey
mullet very closely in outM'nrd form.
“Dose be mermaids, massa.” said the
negro, “but in de name ob lieuben, don’t
cat dem.”
“Why not?” mioth I.
“Because dev nab de Iuh poison.”
“1 .ul) poison! And pray M’hat is that?”
“Yes, massa; when you cat one ob desc
fish, you Mill fall so deep in lub you can
hehuer get out again.”
I tried to laugh my black friend oqt of
his uotion, but ill vain. In spite of what
lie said however, I lmd my inusicos fried
that evening, aud found, as I expected,
that I was none tho worse for the experi
ment. The musician fish is white, with a
few blue spots near tlie belly. It is about
sunset when these fish begin to sing, nnd
they continue their music during the night,
imitating tlie grave and sonorous droning
of an organ, just as it reaches your car
When you stand outside a church.
Tlio Fatal Lflcctsi of PAlutlnK—Girl* De-
ware.
No one can ride or walk through the
fushiouable portion of New York city, at-,
tend any place of amusement, or go to an
evening party, M’ithout becoming aware
of the horrible fact that many M’omcn, of
whom better things might oc expected,
have fallen into tlie pernicious habit of ap
plying to their skins tlio enamels uliicli,
under various attractive names, are ad
vertised and sold in all parts of the land.
Not only faded faces, nut countenances
so young, plump, and pretty in outline
that they must, in their natural condition,
be attractive, arc lacquered over with an
unnatural polish of fine porcelain, which
produces an effect such as ono might im
agine if a china doll were afflicted with
consumption.
This practice Is as nernicious as it isdis-
gusting—the seeds or death or parallysis
being hidden in every attractive pot and
jar of those mixtures, which are supposed
to be not only innocent, but also to pos
sess the virtues of the uiidiscovcrod foun
tain of perpetual youth.
Some who use them will suddenly have
a severe illness : and receiving a private
warning from the family physician, will
cease the use of Iho cause or their disordor,
nnd, recovering, go through life with an
extremely bad complexion as a reminder
of their folly.
Others will drop suddenly, with tliclr
features twisted to one side,‘and perhaps
deprived of tlio use of thnir limbs. Olli
ers Mill die outright, no one guessing why.
Tho effect on any particular person can
not lx) calculated. What one sutlers pa
ralysis from kill another outright. The
only safety is in having nothing to do with
these baleftd “preparations.”—X. Y.
