Indeed, she in shortly to be married. Her “set,” of whom she 1h the first to take this impor tant step, are greatly fluttered by the approaching event, and talk it over on every possible occasion. Hue of them nays it is dreadful for an v.iiknown man to come from away out West and carry off one of their girls. They will never see her again—never! wiM come home to visit, probably; but a girl who is married tell “him” everything, and the lost interest in peo ple. and isn’t the same at all; and they ,„ a \ as well make up their minds to lose her. once for all. Here there is a chorus of sights and groans, and another nice girl says he isn't much to look at, either, she has seen his photograph. He has pale eyes, and a ridiculous little mustache that she knows by his looks that he is extremely proud of. Why Evelina wants him she enn't imagine. He isn't handsome, or I lieli. or heroic, or anything else interest ing. He is just a common-place young man. Some one here timidly ventures to re mark that Evelina is nothing very re markable herself, and, perhaps a com monplace young man will exactly suit her. . Silence follows this observation, and the person who at length breaks it dis creetly selects another branch of the in exhaustible subject: Does anybody know anything about the trousseau? It appears that they all do, but the infor mation possessed by one exactly agrees -with that of no one else, and it is half an Pour before they have sifted out the pro bable truth from amass of conflicting ac counts, all given at once and very loud. When this most important point has been debated and settled, they take another half hour to ex press tlieir amuse ment at the idea of Evelina's act ually kit lug house; they say it is nearly as absurd as to call her Mrs. They then discuss the coming cere mony, ami each gives at length a des cription of thf manner in which her own wedding should be conducted were she to marry. Several of the girls say they s’ t u 1 < 1 like to marry just to show their what a wedding ought to be. One remarks that she, too, would like i that she might demonstrate to every -I>i by that a bi ide need not be pale and cc: say “I will*’ loud enough to be heard I vend the first three rows, if she will only make up her mind beforehand to do it. Then Evelina’s marriage really takes piece. Sim is very pale, indeed, and too nervous to attend properly to her train. I’llt her friends forgave her these little errors of conduct and admit that on the whole she did very well. One of them who steps down to the station and st ;m<ls behind a pillar to see her start off with her husband for their new home, ever, says afterward that she had almost forgiven her for choosing him. lh‘ looked as commonplace as ever, declares; only, when two people seem {,s happy as they did, somehow you buve to forgive them everything, and she topes the other girls will stay single for a Ling time to come; but, as to Mrs. I v- iina, she wishes her good luck with all her heart. I his is about the way nice gilds behave when one of their number makes a com monplace young man happy.

A $40,000,000 tunnel from Scotland to Ireland is among the engineering “possibilities.” A fakir at Coney Island was caught working a lung-tester that responded to suction with a draft of malt whisky. With the completion of the Covington and Macon road, Athens will be on a di rect line of travel from the East to Florida. Petitions asking the ordinary of Lau rens county to order an election upon the whisky question are being circulated for signatures. Toccoa boasts of a citizen who has never subscribed fos a newspaper, and strange to say he doesn’t seem to be ashamed of his record. Railway time-tables are made of con venient size and shape to be inserted in side the cover of a watch for convenient reference. Mrs. Langtry’s white bull-dog, sup posed to have been a victim of the Erie railway disaster, turned up scratched and groggy, and was forwarded to her mistress. The total increase in the Russian army is to be 1,500,000. The increase this summer will be 400,000 men. If this means peace what would war mean? Miss Hattie Blaine is the beauty fit the Blaine family. She has pink cheeks, a fair complexion and nut-brown hair. She is exceedingly girlish in her actions. A Stradivarius violin of 1710, made for the Marchese Pamparati, has passed from the hands of an Italian player, Bertuzzi, into the possession of a London gentleman for $4,000. If the steel cruiser Baltimore, about to be launched at Philadelphia, meets contract specifications, she will steam nineteen knots per hour, and become one of the fastest vessels of her class in the world. Captain George Murphy, of Philadel phia, possesses the barrel of John Brown's rifle. It is an octagonal smooth bore Springfield, weighing about twenty pounds, and has a telescope attachment. Near the butt is a little silver plate set in the steel bearing the name of John Brown. The great Eiffel tower in Paris will have on its first floor, about 180 feet from the ground, four restaurants, each with store-room and kitchen built into the supporting iron frame below. An enormous elevator, capable of holding 100 persons, will save customers the trouble of climbing the stairs. Within the Antarctic Circle there has never been found a flowering plant. In the Arctic region there are 702 kinds of flowers. Fifty of these are confined to the Arctic region. They are really polar flowers. 'The colors of these polar flow ers are not as bright and varied as our own, most of them being white and yel low, as if borrowing these hardy lines from their snowy bergs and golden stars.
