The hour is midnight, and I have justcome in a trine jaded, but, before retiring,1 purpose while yet the facts are vivid inmy mind to give you some account of awedding 1 attended this evening. It wasa we lding. 1 make bold to say, the like ofwhich was never celebrated on either con-

tinent. The high contracting parties tothe marriasre were JLilut only daughter ofLe Souza Cabral,

Is principal owner of nine of therichest diamond mines in South America,and from them, in the aggregate, he de-

rives an annual income of not less than$20 000.000. His interests in gold minesprobably amounts to as much more, and Iam cognizant of the fact that last Augusthe sold one-ten-th interest in the oelebraU dBahiaMine of which, until then, he hadbeen the 6ole proprietor for $:i,500,000.His diamond interests in South Africa andSiberia he lately estimated under oath (insome legal proceedings before court inM inas Geraes) at the enormous sum ol$:0,000.000 ! He has, beside, a great pen-

chant for real estate, and I was but recent-ly informed by one of his agents, a thor-oughly trustworthy man, that C'abral'srentals in Ixndon and Glasgow aloneyield over 1.10,000 annually. In 1SGS hepurchased the patent of a machine for mak-

ing evelets, from a poor fellow whom hefound starving in a garret at Maranhamfor such a bagatelle as $183. To-da-y themachine is extensively used all over theworld, and Cabral draws S2,;00 aday from this source alone.And then, there are his sewing-machi- ne

royalties that yield hitn some-thing over $.1,000 a rtay. The correctnessof this last item is vouched for by a friendof mine, who is the manager of the lead- -

ine sewing-machin- e company in israzii.Indeed it is easy to tell what he is interested in, but hard to think of some tilingthat is anv thinsr in which he is not. Itwould be a puzzle to name a leading rail-ro- ul

in South America or Kngland inwhich he has not a stake. He fcikes insomething over $1,500,000 a year from hissteamship stock, and probably twice asmuch more from other sources, A cool,clear-heade- d man of GO, C leet high, straightas an arrow, with an eve like an eagle, ajudgment as unerring as fate, and a decis-

, He was lately asked by an intimate friendmy presence if he had any conceptiot

ol the sum total of his possesions. H.ethought for a moment, and then quietlyreplied, "I could not swear that I was notworth nresuining that I could realize onall my pro(erty S.10,000,000.000." Hemade this astounding exhibit with perfectsang froid, but I must confess that as hespoke I felt something very like pity forhim. I could not but think now speciallydifficult it might be for him to satisfactorily solve the problem of the camel andthe needle s eve.

1 would not have devoted so much spaceto the lather of the bride of this eveningwere it not for the fact that otherwise theaccount that followed of the weddingmight be received with incredulity. Thebridegroom, young Throckmorton, is de-scended from one of the oldest and wealthiest families of the "blue grass country,as he loves to call it. He came to Brazilwith a matter ol S5C0.OHO in his own right,and since has prospered famously, so thatto-d- he cannot be worth less that $0,000.- -

uw. mil a poor piiiancc in coiupai isoiiwith his father-in-law- 's overwhelmingly gigantic lortune, but still quite sufficient torelieve him lrom the imputation ot marrying the lair Juaiia caDrai ior money.He met her first, a year ago, at a ball at Per- -

nambuco, and the result was a case ol loveat first sight on both their parts (at least.10 "they say"). They make an exceed-ingly prepo'ssessingcouple he tall, broad'shouldered, yellow of hair and moustache,and she a tiny, graceful, lovely-face- d brunette.

And now if I but had the pen of a readywriter to describe to you in fitting termsthe unqualified andimmeasurable pomp and circumstance

of their wedding. But alas I 1 cannot, andas 1 cast about for a beginning of my narrative I am much embarrassed with theriches that await to be treated of. Therewere the invitations, for instance. Theywere written on parchment by artistichands, in Quaint text, exquisitely ilUmiinatcd. Instead of being inclosed in paperenvelopes thev were sent to their favoredrecipients each in a dainty box of sandalwood. These boxes, 1.000 in number,were manufactured to order expressly forthis wedding at Canton. B,ach one of themwas furnished with a lock and key of solidfrold, was exquisitely caned with Cupids,

and other designs appropriate tothe occasion, and cost $150. My own invitation lies beside me as I write, and Icatch the delicate scent of the sandal.

The residence of the Great DiamondKing, at which the wedding took place, issituated a little over half a mile from Dia-ment-

which is, you know, the chieftown of the diamond district. I may at-tempt to describe its magnificence in an-

other fetter; let it suffice to say now thatthe house is the complete realization of theideal castles of the regulation English nov-els, and that the grounds connected withit are the last exprcs-io- n of nature at herloveliest, reinforced by art at its consum-mate. This evening tli place

seemed a taradise.Wax candles by the thousands, each onecaught and held in place by a bronze fig-

ure, Hooded the rooms within, and themiles of grounds without, with a solt yetbrill-an- t light. Here and there, on thegreen slopes, or in the rustic bowers, or atthe edge of some romintic ravine, largemusic boxes, imbedded and completelyh i'den from v; w in moss, rlayed a softAd dreamy accompaniment to the voioof the fountains. One hundred muMC-box-- es

were employed in this service, and thetunes that were pricked on their cylinderswere composed especially for the nuptialnlgiit by a no less celebrated musician thanLiszt. He received a draft of $2.1,000for his witching work, and who snail saythat he did not earn it? Certainly no onethat listened to the music, which was littleshort of heavenly. The music-boxe- s willbe distributed on the morrow among thebridesmaids and other guests of this even-ing, as unique remembrances of the wed-ding. Each one of them was importedfrom Paris, is encased in mosaic, and elab-orately finished in gold, silver, and a va-

riety of precious stones. Two hundredboxes cost as many thousand dollars. Thedrawing-roo-m in which the Kentuckianand his "dark Brazilian bride" were madeone flesh had one feature in its adornmentwhich elicited the most fervent expressionof delight and amazement from all whowere present. I allude to the decorationsof the four walls. They were one mass offull-blow- n white camelias from floor toceiling, and a good sized diamond was in-

serted in the center of each to cunninglycounterfeit the dew drop. The effect wassimply ravishing. 44 Words and phrases,''as Mr. Webster said of eloquence, 44 maybe marshaled in every way, but they cannot express it." its every suggestion wassweetness and light, and purity'. It is estimated that the adornment of this oneroom called for an expenditure of not lessthan

TEN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.No diamond was given the role of thedew drop that was not white, and perfect44 as the bosom of a star."

The entire distance from the Cabral man-sion to the nearest railroad station, some-thing less than a quarter of a mile, wasliterally a way of flowers not under foot,but in graceful arches overhead. Thus, along, snow-whi- te bower, fashioned entire-ly of roses, was the connecting link be-

tween the drawing-roo-m and drawing-roo- m

car. The demand made on Florafor the materials for this picturesque cov-ered way was unprecedented. The flowerbill for the wedding exclusive of the itemof hand-bouque- ts amounted to $50,000.But the strangest thing in regard to thisbower I have yet to tell. Its floor for theentire length was covered with camel'shair shawls, to my own mind a piece ofpreposterous, aye. wicked extravagance.But the father of the bride declared that,so long as it was his only daughter andonly 'child whoso marriage be was

celebrating, be would send her out vther home to th steam carriage thatwas to carry her s(way from him. overa pavement not likely to be imitatedin the future hitory of marriages iuSouth America. The shawls for this extraordinary purpose were - purchased iuLondon, the order being for 44 the bestthat cai be had for gold," and the bill forthe Item amounted to the enormous sumof $508,500. After the bridal party enteredthe train the shawls were gathered up,and they will be distributedamong the poor of the district.

And now a tew woras aooutTHE BRIDE'S PRESENTS.

They were, by actual count, 1,840 in num-ber, and the greater part of them, I notic-ed, took the form of either gold or diamonds. The mothers gift was a dinnerset of 280 pieces of solid gold. Each piecebears the monogram of Cabral andThrockmorton in diamonds. The cost olthis proof of maternal affection was some-thing over $4,000,000 in gold. In addition,Mme. Cabral gladdened the bride's, heartwith 1.000 yards of point lace; 305 morn-ing, afternoon, and evening costumes, onefor each social division of every day in theyear ; and, to crown all, a certificate of de-

posit issued by the Bank of England-Engl- and

being the objective point of thebridal tour lor 1,000,000. Does this lastitem seem the very apotheosis of prodi-militv- ?

It does so until you hear whatthe father did for his darling, and then ittakes a subordinate position, lie gaveher title deeds ot'a magnificent town andcountry-ho- u e in all the leading capitalsof the world and the more famous watering-place-s. These many mansions arethoroughly furnished, and in each as atender reminder to Maiia oi ner maiuen-hoo- d

there is an apartment ttiat exactlycorresKnds in lurniture and adornmentsto her own room at ner iaiuer s iioust.Not contenting himself with this displayof his bounty, Cabral presented her withas tine a steamship as could be built on theClyde, with full complement of sailorsunder contract for ten years' service, andwith salaries paid in advance for the fullterm ; one dozen milk-whi- te Arabianhorses, and this as a joke 1,000 poundsof caramels, a confection for which thebride is said to have a profound liking.But his crowning gift was a necklace thatdeserves to rank among the enumerated

WONDERS OF THK WORLD.Sixteen years ago, soon alter Malta'sbirth, he began to collect the diamonds ofwinch it is composed, w nenever or wnere- -

ever he heard of a marvelous stone, hewas on hand, in person or by agent, andsecured it. He had all Europe, Asia, andAfrica ransacked in behalf of the proposednecklace, and at tho time actually madeovertures for the celebrated Pitt diamond,which cost the duke of Orleans, accordingto history, $075,000, and which Napoleonatone time wore on his sword-hil- t, liewas buttled in his attempt, however, muchto his disappointment. But, after tenyears of unremitting hunting, he at lastgot together thirty of the largest and pur-est diamonds in the world, no one of whichwas much inferior to the Pitt gem. Tak-ing these to Amsterdam, he summonedthe best talent iu that city, famous lor itsdiamond-cutter- s, and stated what he de-

sired which was that each one of thethirty stones should have a fantastic facecut upon it. Amsterdam at first said thatthe task was more tliau herculean that itwas impossible. But when Cabral statedthe stuiK-ndou- s sum he was willing to payfor the fulfillment of his wishes, Amster-dam reconsidered, and consented to do itsbest. It did its best for live years, day andnight, and the result was that a week be-

fore wedding, the diamonds, cut, carved,set on a golJen string, and all ready toembrace the snowy neck of the bride, wereplaced iu the hands of the jubilant Cabral.1 happened to be present when Malia firstwas shown the necklace, a couple of daysbefore she was married. She wore a blacksilk at the time, and her father, afterthrowing the brilliants, that contrasted sostrongly with the color of the dress, overher head, stepped back a few paces tonotice the etlcct. Having gazed at theflashing necklace for a minute or so hesuddenly broke into a loud laugh andcried out merrily, "My dear, on my lifeyou'd do for the head-lig- of a locomo-tive." This necklacecosi lie Souza Cab-ral, stones, cutting, and carving, $110,- -0O0,9S0.SjS Cabral showed nic receiptsyesterday, so that I am able to statethe exact figures. And yet this dotingfather, iu naming the cost to me, addedthat he would willingly have paid what hedid twice over rather than have missed hisaim, or been unatde to give his darling thewedding present he designeiWor her whileyet she was in her cradle. There youhave the man in his unbounded expendi-ture of money to obtain his ends, and inhis absorbing love for his daughter.

You must not expect from me any de-scription of the ornate and bewilderingtoilets worn at the wedding no, not evenof the bride's rare raiment. 1 do not un-derstand such matters, and, venturing todiscourse concerning them, likely enoughI should call lace gimp, and" peasant-waist-s

polonaises. Let me briefly statethat, so far as I could judge, the great heir-ess was mirried in clothes befitting herposition. I am indebted to a lady guestfor the information that her dress was ofpoint lace, flounced, or rather garianded,to the waist with strings of seed pearls,with the voluminous train edged with afilagree of

UOLD THICKLY SET WITn DIAMONDS.Her neck was circled by her father's won-derful offering, besides which there werediamonds banded on her hair and in brace-lets on her wrists. She was certaiuly themost blazing beauty 1 ever gazed upon.

There was one feature of the weddingarrangements which struck me might bet-ter have been omitted entirely, or at leastvery materially modified, but which, nev-ertheless, in the mock it made of expense,was quite in keeping with all the otherfeatures. I allude to the phenomenallyhospitably provision made for the hack-me- n

who drove the guests to and from thefestivities. On the velvet lawn just out-side the Cabral mansion, a dozen or moreexquisite Sevres vases were set corres-ponding in size and shape to an Americanjeaclt-bask- et each one of which washeaped to the brim with the gold coin ofthe country. The drivers as they droppedtheir loads had their attention called tothe currency in the vases, and werecordially invited to help themselves adlibitum.' As often as the vases were emp-tied they were promptly replenished byservants detailed for that sole purpose.One of the hackmen responded so heart! iyto the invitation that, when the time camefor him to drive back to town, he wasforced to request his two passengers tofavor him by taking a seat on the box. Heexplained, not without blushes and stam-mering, that the in-i- de of his coach wasoccupied by the gold pieces he had accumu-lated during the evening; and that hewould not have taken so many had it notbeen for the thought of a sick wife athome. Having listened to him, his load,before mounting the box, returned to thehouse and related the incident to Cabral,who was so touched at the mention of thesick wife that, on sudden impulse, he pro-posed a subscription for her benefit. Theresponse was general, and in a short timethe snug sum of $10,000 was raised amongthe guots, to which Cabral added his owncheck for $40,000 more, saying that he didnot wish any heart to be sad on that joy-ful occasion. When the $.10,000 werebanded to the hackman, 44 A cordial foryour ailing wife, my man," as Cabral putit, he burst into tears, declaring that therenever was such a man in the world as DeSouza Cabral. And he was right,

,JAXIt'S CHRISTMAS GIFT.' There was the beautiful tall Christmas

tree, reaching nearly to the ceiling; wavesof the fresh evergreen odor were waftedthrough the room, pressed out of thedoorways and far down the hall; theshadow'of the tree sent long delicate fin-

gers airily searching among the flowerclusters of the vases near beyond ; amongall the branches were to be seen such tracesof Santa Claus as if lie had been bent onout doing there every thing that had everbeen heard of him in the wide world atChristmas time ; down from the chande-liers the lights gave kindly and contem-plative attention ; the fire leaped up in thegrate with uncommon hilarity as if to say :

Glad to see you, good St. Nicholas ; haven'thad the pleasure since a long time ago ; asilver stream of laughter poured from thenursery and rippleu up and down throughall the passages such a struggle has thesleep-ang- el always with fair eyelids in thechild world on a Christmas eve.

And there sat Janie, mistress of the fairhome temple in its holiday adorning andmother of the gay children laughing andcoquetting with sleep ; around her mouthwere sad little lines last impressed there,enough to make one grieve much to see.And you would have wondered all themore what could have made them growthere so if you had known that fromamong the tangled home music no babylaugh had ever been withdrawn up there,that no other than the sleep-ang- el had ev-

er closed the eyes of any ol Janie's fairchildren : and Janie's husband was honored among men and Janie was an enviedwoman.

Tears fell fast as she reviewed all theChristmas eves since her marriage, morn-ing, weaving out of their events a patheticlittle history with only Robert and her-self as actors,! Robert and herself oncelovers. Was this wedded life then, mov-ing on all marvclously fair in a girl's out-

look beneath her bridal veil over the daysto come, to find true description only iuBalzac's gloomy chapters on 44 Petty An-noyances of Married Life." So dillerentgrew the Christmas eves for Janie, drop-ping one by one the blossoms of poeticfeeling, one by one the cadences solt andtuneful, the soul's singing how dear oneother is, dropping even the gallantrywhich devoted men give loving wives, un-

til instead appeared a dearth of marriagebeauty, and here sat Janie lookingout mvon the desert where no sweet dew camedown, where no bloom breathed forth afragrance of tremulous love.

It might have been more dreadful tohave had revealed some proof of faithless-ness in one wedded ; it was pitiful enoughfor a soul like Janie's to look backwardupon the long ebb of that warm tide whichwr.ips hearts away out of coldness anddeath into the sweet bliss of life. It waspitilul indeed, and voices of the past grewmore significant uttering into Janie's con-sciousness the unwritten pathetic history,grew nearer the truth of causation compar-ing this and that on to the time when evenbitter speaking had come to pass betweenthe twain made one ; and the voices maderecriminations against herself for havingmartyred love.

fetid Robert had been often wrong thevoices did not deny that and earlier hadspoken sternly to a three days' bride, whowept lor hours in consiqucnce; nad toldher then he found her a sensitive blossom,and like a sensitive blossom would hehereafter guard her; many an earthquakehail violently shaken the sensitive blossomsince that day; but alas! how well sheknew the sensitive blossom had as oftenrevealed a spirit not common at all to thegentle floral family; and Janie. remembered how often along the waj she had partedcompany with forbearance, and this suffering long and being kind had not Ui en a

virtue taught by the wife andmother in her household. ' '

As two friends gaily joining hand:across a tiny beck and wandering carelessly on where it flows between themuntil it widens to the hands' unclasping,RoU-r- t and Janie had moved side by side,with dilterences swelling to a wide andturbulent flow between them, whenJanie's eyes were opened on the Christ-mas eve to see it all, to feci the slow importunate receding the gradual yieldingof the clasp once too seeming strong forany power in the world to part. And,seeing all, she cried across to him in terrible anguish : " O, Robert, let us bridgeit." And entering as the words thrilledforth, fier husband thought at first she hadbeen sleeping it was well past midnight.Ami seeing there the laden Christmas tree,he was reminded tliat great perplexitieshad driven from his mind all thoughts of agift for Janie. Then he told her thatwith great misgiving, and, scanning herface, beheld thereou a looK ot yearninabove material gilts. That sacred bridgto be builded never by worldly cost ! Sheaud Robert drawing nearer heaven anddrifting wider from 'each other !

Somehow, among the Christmas orders,that potent spirit visiting his home onChristmas eve. and looking at that momentout of a woman's eyes, took Robert in pos-session, and filled him also with a sense ofhow they were withholding each from eacha promised gift, while freely giving whatis sold and bought. And the unrisunasmorning coming over the land found Janieand Robert lovers, for the sacred bridgewas builded by the ttrength of both incharity, and no longer were they dividedby even a tiny beck ot doubt or reDeiiion" Never was "such precious Christmas giving," said Janie, and the lights from thechandeliers gave soft attention, and thefire leaped high up i:i the grate to say"Glad to see vou, good St. Nicholos, gladyou so beautifully remembered these twochildren. ' aiiu Janie s irienus an won-dered why she had no Christmas gift, andwhy she seemed so happy.

Ilow lipht the touches areTbut kiss the rauttic from the chords of life,"

murmurs Janie, while the ierpetual giftgoes on in gracious installment of poetictendernesses which raise marriage me, asthoughts follow habits, to a fragrant Eden,where the dew falls not alone upon thewedding morn, but daily after.

bread, well tprend with butter,went in for decency's sake ; all the restwas pie, cake, and pickles. The cake andpickles were my chief dependence. 1 usedto feel I should soon uie ofheart disease"! My little ld Dotknows more of physiology and hygiene

y than I did then, though I was get-ting on well with my algebra aud gram-mar and history, and had just tai-e- aprize for the best composition. I thoughtit was my heart that pained me so undermy ribs after I bail eaten the cake andpickles. One afternoon I had to go out otschool crying with the pain, and theteacher's wife allowed mc to lie on herbed until school was over. Then, insteadof walking home, I went to stay all nightwith my seat-mat- e, who lived nearer theschool. Her mother said that it was dys-pepsia that troubled me, and that she hadit herself. I had heard the name before,and felt flattered at having such a respect-able disease, and drank the hot tea she pre-scribed aud prepared with an unusual feeling of being in the fashion. Not long af-

ter I took- - my dinner with me and wenthome with my seat-mat- e at noon. I satnibbling my lunch in the kitchen, whereAnna's eldest sister, a young marriedwoman, home on a visit, "wa ironing. Ialways liked her. She looked into mypail, saying merrily: "I wonder whatyou carry for your dinner ?' - MI don'twonder that you have a pain in your sideso much!" she exclaimed. "lKm't youknow that it is the pickles?" I explainedthat the dysiepsia, but she laughed,and told me I always would nave, andworse, so long as I ate such lunches. Shecounseled me kindly to make the bulkof my dinner of bread and but-ter or other plain fare. ' Thisadvice was acted upon irv- - somedegree, and I soon found such a con-nection between pickles and sick headaches and dyspeptic pains, and later be-

tween mince pie aud rich cake and thesame aches and pains, that prudence ledme to avoid them.

This experience, like others of the samestripe, has enabled me to realize better thewisdom of the good God in givin us painaud sickness and death as results of diso-bedience of physical laws. It seem? strangethat individuals learn the m isdonf of obe-dience so slowly; and very strange thatthe human race parts with "its stupidity inthis respect so tardily- - The dinners of the

school children "tell steadily upon theirgrowth and welfare and future usefulnessiu the work!. Like grown-u- p people, theyUse up daily, or wate. by exercise ot allsorts, by mere bodily combustion, too, inkeeping the body warm with blood, alarge portion of the nourishment they getfrom food. This daily wastage must bemade good. Children have not only to re--1

pair the daily waste, but to go on buildingup new bone, new muscle, new brain, asthey grow from day to day. Their foodshould contaiu nourishment for all parts ofthe system, and they should have plenty,but they should be accustomed to suchplain fare that thev can readily stop eatingwhen their hungei is satistied, and not goon nibbling merely to gratify the palate,thus forming habits of gluttony. Cakeand pastry have but little, and pickles havescarcely a particle, of nourishment in them,and thev almost invariably do the systempositive'harm, in greater or less degree,when taken Into the stomach. The harmmay be so little and the overcoming influ-

ence so strong, in the way of out-do- ex-

ercise and other healthy conditions, thatno evil result mav be apparent ; but all ourdiseases are caused by violation of hygienein some respect. We are not always per-

sonally responsible for these violations,since our sanitary conditions are not al-

ways within our control, never indeed en-

tirely so ; but where we can help ourselveswe ought clearly to do so.

A Bachelor's Exploit with a Baby.

One oi the best looking and mostsought-afte- r young business men in Utica,X V.. savs the Herald of the 30th. had biscrnllanrrv nut to a severe test Friday. Acharming married lady friend wagered $15with him that he dare not carry ner oaoytt.rnnirh Cenesee Street from Bagg's Hotelto Oneida Square. Whether the gentle-man felt particularly brave and happy afterhis enjoyment of Thanksgiving festivities,or for some other reason, we know not,hut certain it is that he accepted the challenge and carried the haby, but sucuwork as he made of it ! The baby in question is the prettiest little seven-moutn- s

mnrfnl In I Trim. Its lather is oneoi uiewittiest and finest-lookin- g men in thecounty, but the baby gers us loveliestchnrms from Its mother. . The boy is thenride of its Darents' hearts, and it kiss f

would stick, its lips would be covered withrock candy to the deptn t six mcnes everyday. The young gentleman who waschallenged envies the father, mother andbaby every dav of his life. When hestarted out from Bagg's Hotel with thechirping cherub iu his arms his face wasrosy with Diusnes ano rauiani wuii Happi-ness. The mother and other friends tothe child were to follow in a carriage tosee that tin task was completed accordingto the terms of the wager, and they didnot lOSe SliMlt Ol lllC UJIiei iui a muiiniii.At the outset the child weighed abouttwenty-fiv- e pounds. The supposed fatherand his elegantly dressed baby attractedgeneral attention upon the business por-

tion of Genesee Street. The geutlenian'sfriends were not certain that tney nauheard of his marriage, aud he had liecnseen at the Or.era-hous- e frequently of lateand each time with a dillerent charmer.but this must have been owing to the absence of his wife and the baby, probably.While conversation alter this style was going on in the stores, the bachelor reachedthe City Hall, and at that particularmoment he was ready to assert thatthe child weighed seventy-fiv- e

pounds. Fronf this point upwardwas the tug of war. The hour chosenwas one iu which he geneially takes auairinff. and all of his window lrieruls expected to see linn, but not with a baby.1 lien the baby commenced to gee uneasyand it was hard work to hold it out atarms length and call u -- aweeiy,-- I luckv." "Dar ing." etc.. etc. Ihree orfour merrv maiden-- i in an up-tow- n residence rustled the curtain in such a mannerthat the toiler knew that he wasseen: but do well or do ill ne was douiiuto win. and win he did. Those who witnessed the affair in all of its stages.say thatit was difficult to tell at times whether tehchild was upright or reversed, pcrpendicular or horizontal, for the reason that itsposition was changed so frequently. Itsordinarily sweet voice was harsh and crispbefore Cottage Street was reached, and butfor the true grit which the gentleman pos-sesses, and the love he bears for the baby,it is believed that the baby would havelieen tossed into a convenient fountainany thing loraehange. All the young la-

dies u non Genesee Street seemed to bestanding in their windows as he passedOpposite Eagle Street he met a particularladv friend in a carriage, and then the baby weighed a full ton. When the motherreceived her darling cjjjld lrom the handsof the brave one, cold and huge drops ofperspiration poured from every pore of hisface; bis necktie was gone and his collarwas unbuttoned. The contents of thePhiladelphia mint would not tempt himdown the street with a similar accompani-ment. The wager was paid, and the moth-er and her baby rode down town, whilethe brave bachelor wended his way backto bis place of business through Park Av-

enue and other quiet streets, solitary,thoughtful and alone. The next time hecarries a babv through Genesee Street hisfriends may be certain that it is his own,and that the other stockholder in the cher-ub is within reach. j

It Runs Like a Prairie Fire! Dr.Walker's Vinegar Bitters runs like aprairie tire. The fame of the TemperanceTonic is. however, but poorly exemplifiedby this figure of speech; for a prairie tireruns only in one direction, whereas the re-

putation of the Bitttrs spreads toward allpoints of, Uie compass. There is not asquare mile of inhabited territory in theUnited States, where this meritorious pre-

paration is not appreciated. If any theo-

retical gentleman thinks he is prepared toshow that there is "nothing in it,'5 we ad-

vise him to go to the Prairie States, in theMississippi Valley, to the deltas of theSouthern rivers, to New Kngland, in fact,anywhere within the limits of "UncleSam's real estate, aud ventilate his views.By so doing he can raise a heartier andmore general laugh than has ever yetshaken the sides of an intellient people.Persons who have been cured can't helplaughing at other people, who tell themthat the medicine which saved their livesis a failure

Fifteen years ago, Buys-Ball- in Hol-

land, Fitzroy in Kngland, and Le Verrierin France introduced a system of storm-warning- s,

based on the then existingknowledge cf meteorology, eked out withthe help of the telegraph. The practicalimportance of this aid to navigation wasduly appreciated by the sailors of thesecountries, and Mr. Scott, the directorthe London Meteorological Office, has justgiven a further remarkable proof f itutility bv a calculatian that SO er cent, ofthe storms foretold within the last fewyears have actually occurred.
