The late Omaha Tribune publishes the following: Passengers on a recent west bound train on the B. and M Railroad were treated to an in inense sensation. In a first-clans coach were a man and a wo man—the limner, judging from his ap pearance, was about forty-five years of age, and evidently a workman; tho wo man was a really pretty girl, not over twenty-one years old. These two took the train at, Chariton, lowa. Soon after leaving that station they commenced gradually to lean toward each other, "and eyes looked love loeves that spake again," and for a while ‘all went merry ;s a marriage-bell ’ She was reposing with her head on liin shoulder, and their , l ands were clasped together, as if they I'.-ared they would lose each other during ! the night. Their overflowing affection ! attracted P c attention of every o her p iMsengrr in fhec.ir They slept sweet Iv, and all unmindful that.

At tho next stopping place Mrs j Man who kept guard over her husband j walked him out of tho train, and when they were on the plailorm of the depot, she actually kicked him, heat him, stamped on him, in much the same man ner as ;i man gets a vicious horse under Ids control.

He is a g->od uatnred, shrewd sort of fellnw, somewhat addicted to do ing business now and then on the Jere my Diddler style, as the following inci dent will testify: Living near the resi— d- tire of the Hon. Morrow C. Lowry, lie was Irequenlly employed by the latter lo do idd jobs around the house and garden. One Mrs. Lowry concluded that Iho peccadilloes and a Worthless Tom * al, long an atlache oft! e family, were such as demanded the infliction of a-cap ital.'pniiislinieut, and Jim was culled upon Id play the part of executioner. Af ter a long chusu the vjclitn waseaptur.-d aid put in a basket, over which an old shawl was securely fastened. The next question was how to dispose of lire pris oner. Mrs. L. suggested drowning, blit Jim, with tears in his ey. 8, protested j t at he e uhl no more “drown that cat” than he culd drown “Ii s elf;” Iliat w. re he to do so, I is conscience, acting on a rial ora ly lender heart, would trouble him so much of nights that, he was sure t at he could never s’ecp a wink there ufte.'. Not wishing lo ruin Jim’s peace of mind, Mrs. L. compromised the mat ter by giving him a dollar, and direct ing him Indispose of it any way he pleased, so that she should never sec it again. Pulling the dollar in his pocket and the baskot on his arm, Jim started down town, lie had not g tout of sight of the house when lie met Morrow, walk ing I. i.-urelv toward his home, and the following' colloquy ensued: Morrow—liollo, Jim, what Jiuve vou got there?

This decided Morrow, so ho paid Jim the price a k' and, and told turn to carry the "Rocky Mountain cat" up to Mrs. Lowry. .lira had, however, very impor 'ant business elsewhere, and he hogged Morrow to take the basket himself, which j the latler consented to do. Arriving at home, he took his prize into (lie silting ro ue, carefully olos- and tno doors, slightiy lifiing il e basket covering, and, smiling henevolenlly at Mrs. L’s apparent as toijishin. nt, remarked: “My ih ar, I've brought you a Rocky Mountain cat —the best moiiser —” At lids moment the cat jumped out of : the basket, and commenced rubbing himself against liis master's leg.
