The very clever local of the Cleveland Pjain- dealer, who often figures under the cognomen of “Artemius Ward,” has been on a visit to .one travelling fortune tellers now in that city. snd furnishes the following as the result : We urbanely informed the lady with the “Gaul on her face,” that we bad ealled to have our fortune told, and she said, “ hand out the money.’ This preliminary being settled, Madame B. (who is a tall, sharp-eyed, dark featured and angular woman, dressed in pain- fully positive ol rs, and heavily loaded with old chain and mammoth jewelry of various inds) said Jupiter indicated powerfully that we were 2 slim constitution, which came down to us on our father’s side. Wherein our con- stitution was not slim, so it came down to us from our mother’s side. ‘ Is this so?” and we said it was. ‘ continued the witeh, “I know dt'was. Youcan’t deceive Jupiter, me, not apy other planick. You may swim over Hell's Point same as Leander did but you can’t deseive the planicks. Give me yer hand! Times ain't so easy as they has been.

She has rooma in the Farmers’ Hotel. She was driving an extensive business, and we were forced to wait half an hour orsofor a chance to see her. Madame C. is of the English persuasion, and has evidently searched many long years for her H. She is small in statue, but consider- ably inelined to corpulency, and her round face is continually wreathed in smiles, remind- ing one of a new tin pan basking in the noon-day sun. She took a greasy pack pe Poach playin, cards, and requested us to ‘eut thei in three, whieh we did. She spread them out on the table before her and said: ‘Sir, to you which I speaks. You have been terribly crossed in love and your ‘art ’as been much panged. But you will get all over it, and marry a light compleeted gal with rayther reddish hair. Befere some time you'll have a legarcy fall down to you, mostly in solick jo ere may be a law-suit about it. aud you may be subprisoned as a witness, but you'll git it —mostly im solik gold, which you will keep in chists, and you must look out for them. [We said we would keep a skinned optic on ‘ em chists.”’| You ‘as an enemy, and he a lightish man. He wants todefraud you out your ‘onesty.

You ’avea _ taste for hosses and like to stay with ‘em. Mister to yousoL sez. Gard against the light- ish man and all will be well.”” The Superna- tural bei-g tnen took an oval shaped chunk of glass (which she called a stone) and requested usto hang on toit. She looked into it and said: ~ If you're not keerful when you git yeur money you'll lose it, but which er- wise you will not, and fifty cents is as cheap as I kin afford to tell anybody's fortune, and no t shakes made then, asthe Lord in Heving nows There is no burlesque or exaggeration about the above. We aes failed, pty to give half of the senseless rigmarole as it fell from the lips of these shallow humbugs.

Eben VWOTSI ORO + JOB BOWERS’ WEDDING, The county of —, « away 8p in the moun- tains,” boasts of one of the t judges in Cal- ifornia. On the bench he is firm, decided and prompt, not caring the snap of his finger for either the applause of friends or the mutter- ings of enemies. | He is, perhaps, the most de- voted man ia all ereation, and has his head so fall of what he terms ‘judicial talk,’’ that he not unfrequently finds himself making learned charges and passing sentences outside the court-reom. On a recent oceasion, the Judge was called upon to exercise the ‘‘ power and authority in him vested’’ in the case of s youn couple who wished their hands joined’ in the holy bondsof wedlock. Of cours: he conrented to perform the phasing aay. and So the a evening was promptly on band at the where the aff.ir was to come off. The room was crowded with the beauty and fashion cf the town, and none looked more dignified or happy than the Judge himself, who was dressed within an inch of his life. It is customary, on occasions like the one re- ferred to, for the people of the mountain town to pass around wine quite freely, and, to their everlasting credit we will add, they con- sider it no harm to manifest an interest in the joyous event of “getting married.”’ The Jud: 1s an admirer of the fair sex, having in the course of his life led the third one to the altar. To use his own language, he is ‘‘a groat believer im weddings,” and that he should become a little mellow amid the glorious scenes of the evoning was not te be wondered at by those who knew him intimately. He had the weak- pre! of all good judges—he would take his The wine had round and round. The musie had ceased. The time for making Jozeph Bowers and Nancy Harkens one had arrived. Every heart throb with a pleasurable emo- ‘tion ‘The gentlemen desired to know how “Joe” wale stand it, and the young la- dies were anxious to see how “Nance” would suffer the awful shock. Others, again,who had closely observed the turn of affairs during the evening, fixed their atten‘ion upon the Judge, to see how he would come out of the scrape. At length the trying moment was announced. The Judge arose very cautiously from the chair which he oceupied in the corner of the room, and casting his eyes over the company, he rec- ognized the shoriff of the county,who was pres- eutas an invited guest. The Judge had im- bibed just enough to make him forget t ture of his business. He was full of hi ja dicial talk,” and required nothing but ihe presence of the s! to start him. Looking sternly at the officer, he shouted: “Mr. Sheriff. open the court, and call them to order!” A general twitter followed this command, in the midst of which the sheriff took the ‘eourt’’ gently by the arm, and led him to his seat in the corner, at the same time informing the august personage of his mistake. Everythin now bid fair for a pleasant and sudden termi- nation of the affair, until another annoyance, which was nothing less than the absence of the bridegroom, was po adr It turned out that he bad just stepped across the street to join his friends in a parting drink, but before his return some cold-blooded wag had whispered into the ear of our foggy judge the cause of “delay in the proceedings.’ In- =— the ehair in the corner moved, and in that directior eyes were fixed. “« Mr. Sheri slowly drawled the Judge, “bring Joe into the court on a supenat”—the Judge had his own way of pronouncing the words—then addressing the bride who stood in the foreground, and hung her hesd in confa- sion, he added : “I s’pose you are the plai tiff, Well, don't take on. Innocence and yir- tue will be protected by this here court.”? This was the saddest blunder of all. The Jadge was agpin made to see his mistake, and would have been considerably set back. bad it not been for a corrective in the shape of ‘forty drops of the critter,” which he instantly ap- ied. arm afew moments all was ready in right down earnest. The bridegroom had arrived, full of joy. The bride in “‘gorgeous array” stood by his side. The company pressed for- ward. The excitement was intense. The Judge never looked so dignified in his life. He evi- dently felt every inch a judge. « J-J-0-w-¢ B-B-o-w-e-r-s,"’ commenced the man of law, in that distressing style of speech with which he was invariably troubled when the influence of liquor, ‘J-J-o-w-e B-B-o-w- e-r-s, stand up. Have y-you anything to say w-w-hy sentence—’, Stop, stop, stop, jadge,”’ shouted the Sher- iff from the back part of the room, ‘you are not going to hang the man, but marry him.” ‘The judge drew a long breath, and winked rapidly, but stood his ground well. Recover- ing himself. he pr led : ** J-J-0-e B-Bowers, do y-y-you take Nancy Se De wife h-e-help you—"’ This was a tolerable effort, and Joe nodded t N-N-Naney H-H-Harkens it now remains for this here c-c-court—"” Here the Hise age interrupted the Judge, reminding him of the real business of the eve- ning. “Miss N-Nancy.”’ resumed the Judge, after being set right, ‘‘d-do y-y-you take J-Joe Bowers for « husband. t-to the best of your knowledge or b-belief, or do you not?” “You bet,” softly answered the light-hearted Nancy. The Judge then took the hands of the happy couple, and joining them, wound up the busi- ness as follows: “It now r-r-remains for this here court to ronounce J-Joe Bowers, and you -Nancy H- , man and wife; and (here the Judge paused to wipe the | seks oa ae from his face,) m-m-may the Lord have m-mercy on y-your soul! Sheriff, remove the culprits!” he company reared; the Sheriff was taken with a leaving. The Judge let himself out in a glass of apple-jack. Taken at large, it was the greatest wedding ever witnessed. —-~~— «08, - Tas Liox axp rae Cock.—Cuarter I.—One: upon & time there wasa bad fight between cock and a lion, and the cock flew into the lion's face and peeked his eyes #0 that he could hardly see. seratehed his nose so that it bled badly, while the cock was so spry that the lien could not cateh him ner do him much barm. But the other beasts were afraid that if the cock should beat the lion he might next fight them, and so some of them hel} im; and atlasi they beat the cuck and broke his Spurs, and pulled out his ‘ail feathers, and bit off bis comb, until he sad bird to see. Cuarter Il—Some time afterward the cock’s spurs and tail feathers grew out again, and hiscomb grew up as fine as ever, 80 that if any of the beasts growled at bim he flew at them and taught them to let him alone. One day one of :he bexsts that had b-Iped the lion to beat him got saucy, and the cock gave him a good drabbing, and drove him back into his den, and got his dinner from him and ate it himself; but the lion never once came near to help the beast that had helped him. Then the cock turned around to go back to his roost, and as he stretched himself up and held up his head to crow, he saw the lion, whose lait waa just beyond the cock’s roost, and the lion was shak- ing and trembling, and everybody saw that he was in recon terror, for sem at i cock was j jen coming to fight him again, when the nits beasts might aa care to aime and helpbim as they did before. But the cock, after re ear to ear, took pity op him and.did not crow, but went quitely home about bis business. Now all you little boys, don’t you think that Waterloo is avenged’—Bostox Post.
