ALxo I Szx—A laughable yet mortifying imeident occurred ata merry making in the | upper part of the city of Memphis recently. yasic and dancing were the order of theeven- | ing, ata Page residence, where some twenty | couples had congregated to pass a pleasant | evening. In order to make room for the @ancere, a stove was removed from the | room, and the hole by which the pipe passed | 4brough the second floor covered with a small | piece of thin beard. It so happened, untor- | tunately, that the pipe had been held in its Pisce by a small sheet of tin, which had the aperiure cubin the middle. The upper apart- | ment, in which this man trap-was situated, | Was used by the ladies as a sort of retiring yourn, to which they repaired whenever they | wished to re-urrange their disordered gar- Mente, smooth their tresses oF re-powder the.r eheeks. Late iu the evening a romping Ines | cf iull proportions rushed hastily into: this room to improve her toilet, when, unluckily, she bore her dainty foot and her one hundrel ard sixty pounds avoirdupois, upon the afore- said weak and treacherous bodrd. As you have. @iready daticipated, it gave way with @ crash, and cown she came, driving her ‘comely limb through the orifice, far above the knee, avd what is worse, the jukged edges of | the tin would not allow her. to withdraw it. The merry groups down stairs were startled by the apparition of a neatly s'ockinged, finely tapered leg hanging above their heads, be- tween the unplastered joists of their extem- pore dancing hall. There were screams and | confosion on the part of the ladies, and a rushing up te their unfortunate sister, while | the others looked the other way, of course. To be sure the exhibition would have been considered all right in the ballet, but this @id not happen io be in the ballet. To make the matter as briet as possible, we would aid that a pair of tinner’s shears were brought into requisition tefore the damse! was released. Abhough her distress and confusion would not permit of her appearing again that even- ing, the remainder of the party continaed iheir festivitiée until the small hours, 6@ After a boy had called several times at a store in Bennington, Vermont, the other day, d inquired tor ‘Mir.
