THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER- SUNDAY, APRIL 19, 1891. 7 — A ROMANCE 6POILEO. Moral Is That Tonne Women Should Deni Discreetly with Their Flaneea. A charming romance has come to light over in the nnromantio cfcLpf Brooklyn. j t appears that not longest}) a teacher jo one of the schools for children set them to writing compositions, of which E he herself was to be the subject—that is, the scholars were told they might write out their impressions of their teacher. One of these essays, of peculiar literary excellence for a small child, drifted, in some way, into one of the Brooklyn pa pers, which in its turn fell into the hands of a young dentist in one of the growing towns in Montana. The description of the teacher's charms so captured his fancy and fired his imagination that he was moved to write a letter, addressed to her in care of the paper which pub lished the composition. In due time the letter reached her hands. Sho answered it and a brisk correspondence soon sprung np, with an exchange of photo graphs and confidences,’which resulted in the formation of an engagement. ■ The marriage date was set, and shortly before the month : containing the wed ding day arrived the yonng dentist re ceived a letter from his fiancee, in which she said that she had one more important fact to reveal to him, namely, that while her picture represented her as being a yonng woman of some personal charms, she considered it only frank to tell him that her beauty was marred by very de fective teeth, which, she naively added, could easily be repaired after their mar riage without any great expenso. Whether the young woman’s physical defect or her business enterprise de stroyed the yonng man’s ideal is not def initely kuown, nor is it really known at present that the marriage is positively declared off, bnt it certainly does look as if it were, for three times since the receipt of that letter has the skittish yonng dentist written to postpone the ceremony, and the yonng woman is con sequently obliged 'to keep altering the fashion of her wedding gowns in order that her trousseau may very properly represent the latest modes—a privilege which every bride is certainly entitled to. This fable teaches, or should teach, that a yonng woman should manage her matrimonial arrangements with discre tion as well ns with frankness.—New York Evening Sun. ON THE ROAD. The Oeldi are all sweet with h»r. The brake, an all bHItia with Meg, On the hedges rose carUnds s«r»y. Convolvulus clusters throne, ■A» shoeless, .ml tattered, and crime, and ctmv. He shuffles along. A skylark sings high shove, A thrush from yon hanging bough. Far .way In the wood . dove; But he paan with scowling brow. Their melodies once he wss wont to love; He hates them now. Hate, nil; save the sheltering night. When under n bank he creeps. And Squalor is out or tight, And Hunger Its distance keeps. And unmocked by tbs birds and the meadows bright. His misery sleeps. —New York Tribune. Blot of Women In llolognn. Bologna waa in an uproar a short time ago in consequence of the violent street demonstrations of the 2,000 women em ployed in tho arsenal there. The gov ernment had just ordered 21,000,000 car tridges, and in the midst of the resulting hurry and hustle several women threw about explosives with the greatest care lessness. A young woman superintend ent reported this, and the careless women were discharged. The superintendent had already earned the hatred of the women under her by her pretty face and popularity with the officers. The discharge of the woman she had reported for discipline brought this hatred to a white heat, and a conspiracy was formed to lynch her. The officers in charge of the arsenal discovered tho plot and gave the pretty superintendent a guard of ten policemen, who watched over her night and day. All the women in the arsenal then went on a strike and marched up and down the streets, shout ing, stoning every one they met, nnd usually bringing up before the pr- tty superintendent’s house. Whenever the superintendent, nppeased in the street the women were after her with clubs and stones, and were fought bock in hand-to-hand tussles with her escort of policemen. At night the women painted the town till the last Bologna!te was aroused and brought to his window with loud de mands for peace. The government finally listened to these demands, and had the streets kept clear at night by a company of soldiers. Although moat of the women have since returned to work, the plot against the fascinating superin tendent is still on, and she attends to her duties only under the gnard of her ten policemen.

The conflagration of the scaffolds in tended for fireworks for the celebration of the marriage of Louis XVI is gener ally known. Amidst the distracted multitude pressing on every side, tram pled under the horses’ feet, precipitated into the ditches of the Rue Royale and the square, was a yonng man, with a girl with whom he was in love. She was beantifnl; their attachment had lasted several years; pecuniary causes had delayed their nnion; bnt the follow ing day they were to be married. For a long time the lover, protecting his be trothed, keeping her behjnd him, cover ing her with his own person, sustained her strength and courago. Bnt the tu- mult, the cries, the terror and peril every moment increased. “I am sink ing,” she said; "my strength fails. I can go no further.” “There is yet a way!” cried the lover in despair; “get on my shonlders.” He feels that his advice has been followed, and tho hope of saving her whom he loves redoubles his ardor nnd strength. He resists the most violent concussions; with his arms firmly extended before his breast he with difficulty forces his way through the crowd; at length be clears it. Arrived at one of the extremities of the place, having set down his precious burden, faltering, exhausted, fatigued to death, but intoxicated with joy, he tnras round. It was a different person 1 An other, more active, had taken advantage of his recommendation. His beloved was no morel—New York Ledger. Just »n Ordinary Woodchuck Log, When I was a boy my father had a fine field of clover, and ho discovered that woodchucks were making sad havoc with it. On the field was a log, and near the log the destruction was the greatest. My father told me I must kill those woodchucks. I went to the field a number of times, bnt could not get a shot at them. I came to the conclusion that I must use a little strategy; so one morning I went to the field before light. With my gnn both barrels loaded with J heavy charge of BB shot, I got in a position where I could take a range of the log lengthwise. As it began to grow light the wood chucks began to gather for their morn ing frolic. They mounted the log, sat np and looked aronnd to see there was nothing to disturb them. When I thought the log was nearly covered with them I pulled both barrels at once. The gnn kicked me over. When I got np there were no woodchucks to be seen. 1 •vent to the log and picked up fourteen dead woodchucks, and it wasn’t any great log for woodchucks, either.—Bos ton Record. Hut Offlro Cut. Are Very Useful. We have edited a newspaper for sev eral years, and in that time wo have re ceived propositions to advertiso goods on shares, to advertise and take the pay in pills, in trees, in flowers, in free tickets, have even had opera house managers demand advertisements as a matter of news, and then demand pay for admis sion or no go; bnt it remained for an enterprising merchant of Temple to cap the climax with his proposition. He has a lot of strayed animals, and after hinting aronnd and suggesting “news' items that would contain some reference to the lost animals, be finally proposed to advertise for them if ire would take the pay in oats.—Temple Times.

Wak ing of himself some time later he found that the old lady, with creditable regard for propriety, had slipped under bis door a note inscribed: “Sir, it is half-past 71"—London Tit- Bits.

Spaniels, setters, pointers, bloodhounds, beagles and foxhoand* ah have long, pendulous ears: bulldogs, ter riers, collies and greyhounds droop only the tips of their ears; the spits hag erect ears, while mastiffs and many other breeds have short, pendulous or semi- pendulous ears. The elephant probably came of an an cestral stock that had erect ears, bnt for ages past thera has been no creature powerful enough to cause it alarm, and for want of exercise the muscles which move the ear have lost ton* and wasted away, leaving th# ear to lop or hang pendulous.
