The mon working on the Leader were ordered to strike, which they refused, snd the consequence was expulsion from the union. Surlington was stirred up recently by an attempt to destroy the properly and life of Attorney W. K. Blake. The machino of destruction was made of lap- welded boiler tube, about 2} feet long and 2} inches in diameter, hammered over and closed at one end. This was filled with giant powder and an oil cloth cartridge ton inches long, filled with dy- namite. On account of poor packing of the hose only the upper portion of , the powder was exploded. e A Chicago Matrimonial Agency. ‘I'he business-like way of doing things in Chicago has even been extended to matters matrimonial, if a Tribune report- er is anthority. He had heard a certain Mrs. King could get him a wife, so he called. The room was found as dark as shutters and shades could make it. At first nothing was visible except the few gleams that broke throuch » window and follupon an easy-chair. Toward this the visitor stumbled, when a sepulcbral voice bade him comwe in and be seated. “Do you wish to get a wife!” said the same voice. By this time the first effect of the dim light had worn off, and a figure was seen bending over a center-table, While struggling to get a view of its outlines the reporter answered: ““T'hat is a question depending entirely upon the material you have to offer.” “Well, tell me w kind of woman you desire, give me 5, and I will intro- duce you to three women, one of whom is sure to bo tho lady you seck.” “Suppoee neither suite, do 1 money back?” “But one is sure o suit you, if you are carcful to describe what you wish,” “To test your virtues as a claiivoy suppose you tell me what 1 want. may give me courage.” my “17 can't unless 1 have you in a trance.” “Well, here I am; put me in a trance,” ‘Give me & dollar first,” “Lhat's too dear, considering I what 1 want.” “What do you want?” was asked with some impatience, “Hola on, This is a serious business. Let us not be in too much hurry., Sup- pose I give you €5 and take one of your girls; and I find after giving her a trial as a wife that she does mot suit me, do you guarantee an easy divorce!” ““‘We guarantee nothing.” She with a snicker, 8 0h 7 “That is, | know the ladies and know their characters, and have every reason to believe they will answer all the re- quirements of & good wife. These facts I learn through my skill as a clairvoy- ant.” By this time the whole interior of the ronm was dimly visible, 1t was fitted up a8 o patlor, though overlooking the back- yard, There was a looking glass and beveral casy chairs, u sofa, and & center table in it, and it became apparent that the woman who bent over the table was thickly veiled in black muslin, only the hands being exposed, One of thess clasped o large palmetto fan, which she h_el_d between her faco and that of her visitor, 0 as to conceal herself the more completely, The hand was small, but sinewy, indicating tnat it had been en- gaged in something more profitable than waving the fan, “au1 desire to know before I put down my money how much your judg ment is worth, 1'll ask you how loni you have been engaged in this business/” “Twenty yoars, during which 1 have made than 500 matches,” was the prompt response, ““Then you began it when you were botween twelve and fifteen years of ago,” 1 suggested “No, sir know said 1 am older than you think,” “‘Another question: Suppose 1 allow to one of these women, how long will 1 be allowed to efore carrying out the plan of 1 simply introluce you. You can then do your courting at lelsare.” “Where do we meet first “Right here in my house.’ “Do you allow us to meet alone “Q), cortainly.” “How long may we be froe from inter ruption?” “‘Half an hour, if you choose. That is long enough to hold conversation. You can then meet whenever you choose. But you don’t want a wife, not on our plan You are one of those inquisitive dudes that come around to have fun without paying for it. Maybeyou are a reporter sho finally added “Suppose 1 am “Well, you need not put anything in the paper. 1f you do you may say our ladies do not care to marry a re “Perhaps they know to much *4Oh, they do.” Cm— Death of Buck Liewis From the Nashville (Tenn.) Amoerican, Au Buck Lowis, janitor of tho Mo achool, East Nashville, died at 7 o'c last nighy, after a brief illness, Lowis was at one time the body servant of An drew Johnson, when that distinguished Tennessecan was president of the United States, and created quite a sensation about that time by rovealing somo of the great commoner’s private affairs to the firvnixlum'u enemies, This was done while o grroat impoeachment trial was going on when it was told became ths ruling sensation of the hour, and was a common theme for speculation during many months follow Prosident Johnson discharged Lowis at that time, and he camo bask to this city, where ho has re- mained since, Lowis hag since frequont- ly suflered great want,and he told a friend of his that President Johnson's words when he discharged him, had often come to his mind during his misfortunes. The words referred to by Lowis are these “Take this one hundred dollar bill and go where you will. I trusted you, and you betrayed my confidence for less than L have often given you without asking. All never suffer as much as you have caused mo to suffer by your base treachery.’’ The porson to whom Lewis told theeo words only few weoks ago is Androw D). Foster, ono of the proprietors of the Maxwoll houso barber shop, who was for many years tho body sersant and valet of President Johngon, and to whom the great Tennesseean was partial and a bon- efactor up to the hour of his death. —er— Dulke of Wellington's First Love, Boston Budgot. Among the reigning belles of Wash- ington at the beginning of the present century, were the Misses Caton of Balti- more. The eldest, when young, was married to Mr. Robert Patterson, a wealthy Baltimore merchant, with whom she traveled in Europe, whero she at- tracted the attention ot Sir Arthur Wellesly, afterwards Duke of Welling ton. He followed her from city to city in Burope, and, by his unguarded de tion, incurred not a little ecandal. After her return her admirer wrote her byevery railing packet a dairy of the society movements in London. When she be- came a widow she revieited England, but the future hero of Waterloo had in the meanwhile married, and could not offer her his hand. He, however introduced his elder brother, the Marquis of Welles- ly, who had early in _iife, cordially sup- ported Amearican independence, and he soon afterwards became her husband. Sir Arthur continued through his glorious career, to be one of the warmest of her friends, until her death, near London, in December, 1853. One of her sisters was married to Colonel Harvey, who served on the Duke of Wellington’s staff in the battle of Waterloo; and becoming & widow subsequently she married the Marquis of Carmathan, Another sister married Baron Stafford, and another Mr, MecTavish, who was for many years the British consul at Baltimore. e — Rome in the Last Century, National Review, It was a labyrinth of winding 'streets, unlighted, unnamed and unnumbered. Every trade kept to 1ts own special local- ity, and in lack of shop fronts, advertised its wares by painted signs and emblems, Cattle were herded in the Coliseum and Forum, and the* Arch of Constantine was half buried in the earth. Justice was administered with circumstances of bar- baric ferocity. 1t was a common sight to see unlucky coachmen publicly tor- tured in the Corso for no worse guilt than that of driving through the streets during the hours reserved for carnival frolics; and the erection of the gallows on the Piazza del Popolo, the first Saturday in carnival, was in factthe signal of the opening of the scason for public sporte, the hangman’s assistants would pros- ently join the gay crowd in the Corso disguised a8 clowns and pantaloons, Down to the first year of the present century malefactora were quartered and burned on the Campo del Fiori, and for many years later the pillory and the wooden horse remained familiar objects in other parts of Rome, although both woro temporarily abolished during the Napolecnic rule. e e— The Skylarking Telephone Girl Still at der Capers, Through Mail, The night girl was talking love to No. 311, her best fellow living there, and keeping up the other end of the conversa- tion,when there came a hurried ring from No. 37, which is the residence of a high- ly respeocted citizen. “Hello!" she replied, after ringing a reply. “‘Hello! Give me Mr, Slaycow’s butcher shop, plense.” *Do you mean Mr. Slaykine's abat- Von, if you want to have it in high- toned language.” “All right; here it is,” “‘Hello! Slaycow.” ““Hello!” *‘What was in that sausage you sold me this evening!” ““Meat."” “Well, 1t made us all sick, have used bad meat in it,” The girl was listening, and at this mo ment switched on the custodian of the city pound, who was making his report for the day to the chief of Police, and the poundmaster said: “We put a calf, two pigs and fifteen dogs in to-day.” No. 47 huvg up its receiver and went out to gag, and nobody but the telephone girl knows the re You must , August 21.—The marriage b New York, to Miss Einily d, daughter of General Meredith { Read, ex-minister to’ Greece, this morning, at the residence of the latter, was an cxcepr tionally Drilliant affair. —— .
