Thrity-on«jn«liwBM marriad in CleveUnd iaat week, and probably about that number of women. A. man and hit wife in Kentncky cannot look down upon each other, being each eight feet in height. A San Fmnciaco hunbend has bean redress ing him grievances with a knife, though they had been married bate week. Fire wives attended the funeral of a sup posed German bachelor at Hoboken, recently. There wae a row. A Maine gentleman has sold hia wife for two dollara, preferring that kind of a pair to any other. It is net in good taate for a Chicago man to thrash his wife until a.t leaat sixteen days after marriage, though society allows him to be out every night until after midnight, Peter Carefol, of Lake Superior, forgot hie name when he married his fourth wife with out having a divorce from the other three, and the courts are bouncing him. A Leavenworth man wants to bet that hia wife can walk 500 miles in three weeks. He thinks be is sure of three week's happiness if he can get a bet. A tale of two hnabands: One expended a dollar and a half for “a pair of blue eyes” for his wife; the other gave the same sum of mo ney for some liquor, and gave his wifs a pair of black eyes. While a Troy man was m a beer saloon the other day speaking to the toast, “Woman, God bless ber his wife walked in and led him out by the ear, and he now says that on the occasion of another festive meeting he will have tkst toast changed to womas some thing else —“to-which improved sentiment be will respond with an eloquence that will caBt a cloud upon the lame ot Daniel Webster. Wife (repreacbfnHy)—"Oh, Charles !*' (She had returned to the dining-room, wondering why he had Dot oome upstairs to lea.) Charles (who had evidently taken a little too much wine)—“Vy well, my dear!

What did Capt’n Du Cane shay 1 Bad cookery cause of all sorts o’ crimes. 'Shamed of yourself ?" Certain mean-spirited ghosts in Illinois have divulged supernatural scandal concern ing the behavior of a married man of that ilk, of snch a nature that his wife has lelt it her duty to sue for a divorce, and although in Illinois the granting of her application is a matter of course, yet since the charge rests altogether on the evidence of the spirits afore said, and they can’t be subpoenaed to testify in open court, the lawyers and judges are somewhat puzzled how to arrange the purely technical formalities of the record. The husband ot an Englishwoman,* bank rupt Micawber, suddenly disappeared recent ly, and a body found shortly after in the Thames was identified as his. The agony of the bereaved dame was so prodigious that the creditors made her a present of the sum of $375 and some furniture. She was imme diately calmed and consoled, and was,indeed, prepared to enter the married state for the second time, when Micawber himself turned up, and the pleasant gift of property had to be restored to the creditors by order of the Court. 'Twas abominably aggravating and in very bad taste. Enoch Arden wouldn’t have done it. 12,000 CASH GIFTS, SI,500,000 Every Fifth Ticket Draws a Gift. >.000 for SOOI VfyHE FOURTH GUARD GIFT CONCERT author- JL feed by special act of the Legislature for the ben* •lit of the Public Library of Kentucky, will take place in Publio Library Hall at Louisville, Kentucky, WEDNESDAY.

SHAVER, D.D. ▲sec 01 ATS kdxtoas: REV. D. E. BUTLER. DR. J. 3. LAWTON Max Adler on Duels. We never fought more than one duel. It was with a man named Blood, who was de termined to make us fight whether we wanted to or not. When we got on the ground, our second said to us: “Do you want to kill your man?” “Of course not,” we replied. “Be cause if you do,” urged our second, “aim at that tree, three hundred yards to the right of Blood. I have seen you shoot. I know your style.” “But we don’t want to kill him,” we said. “Oh, all right, then,” exclaimed the second, “all right; then aim directly at his heart. You are deadly with a pistol when yon want to be. I and Blood’s second are go ing down to the bottom of the hill to be out of the way. Both of you fellers scatter too much for us. Call us when you are through.” Then Blood and his enemy began. It was seven in the morning, and the battle raged until noon. Seven hundred and thirty-four shots were fired, and the bullets hit all the barns in the neighborhood, killed stray pigs, perforated several cows in the surrounding fields, lamed a plowman in the left leg, barked the trees in the woods to the right of us, brought down a mule on the towpath close by, riddled the fences until there was hardly a whole board left in them, and flat tened themselves against the rocks, bat neither Blood nor we had a scratch, except ing a slight wound which Blood got by shoot ing himself in the calf with his two hundred and forty-fourth bullet. Then we began to get hungry, and we asked Blood if he didn’t consider his duel almoet too monotonous. He said he did, and pro posed that we should stop shooting and both go and jump off of a precipice together. We urged that precipices always made us dizzy, but promised to see him buried comfortably if he wanted to take the exercise alone. Then the seconds came up, and didn’t seem a bit surprised to see us unhurt. Then they pro posed that we should settle the matter with a game of poker, to ascertain whether we were wrong or Blood. Blood held four Jacks and won. So we apologized and went home. The next day Blood called to say that he was sorry about the affair, and to ask us to lend him soventy-five dollars, which we did, and we have never seen him since. And now we regret that we didn't aim at that tree three hundred yards to the right of Blood and kill him. COfcRMSPOSDIMU HDITORS. REV. 8. HENDERSON, D.D.. REV. E. B. TEAGUE, D.D.. REV. T. G.

Chicago has got a nut for scientists to crack, and that there is a prospect that they will en counter not a little diflicnity in doing it. A young gentleman named Brown has been be- lore several learned bodies in that city, and has edified and puzzled them ail by some psychological exploits which tha doctors are all unable to account fori One of his extra ordinary feats was recently performed in the Chicago Tnbnne office in the presence of the editors, who desired to test his powers. One of the editors retired to an adjoining room and put a small coin between the leaves of a volume of Polands Credit Mobilier Eeport, which he then oov- ereh up with several other volumes. Ile- tarning to the yonng man the experimenter placed his band on his head, keeping his mind on the coin. Brown who had been ail the while closely blindfolded, at once arose, walked against the door leading to the library, opened it, pat his hand on the volume containing the coin and aaid; “ Here it i*. I do not know what it is, bat it is in this book.” Several other experiments of a similar kind were tried, the result being entirely success ful so far as Brown was concerned in each in- Htance. He is not a spiritual medium, and claims no supernatural powers, but ascribes his powers to animal magnetism. A number of scientists hove taken him in hand, aud now tbs Chicago doctors have decided to give him a round and report results.
