A CARD. TO THE PUBLIC— ‘With the approach of spring and theincreased interest mnu-. ifested in real estate matters, I am more than ever consult- ed by intending purchasers as to favorable opportunities for investment, and to all such would say: ‘When putting any Proper- ty on the market, and adver- tising it as desirable, I have invariably confined myself to a plain unvarnished statement of facts, never indulging in vague promises for the future, and the result in every case has been that the expectations of purchasers were more than realized. I can refer with pleasure to Albright's Annex and Baker Place, as sample il- lustrations. Lots in the “Annex” have quadrupled in value and are still advancing, while a street car line is already building past Baker Place, adding hun- dreds of dollars to the valueof every lot. Albright's Choice was ge- lected by me with the greatest care after a thorough study and with the full knowledge of its value, and I can consci- entiously say to those seeking a safe and profitable invest- ment that Albright's Choice offers chances not excelled in ; this market for a sure thing. Enxly'investorshn,ve already reaped large profits in CASH, and with the many important improvements contemplated, some of which are now under way, every lotin this splen- did addition will prove a bo mnanza to first buyers.

Trials of a Young Married Couple. London World: A newly marricd pair, who arrived on their honeymoon trip at u celebrated Scotch watering place when accommodations were at a premium, had a maftress spread for them by a compas- sionate innkeeper in one of his bath rovms. In the middle of the night the house was alarmed by loud shrieks']proccedin from the nuptial chainber, The young bride, wishm}; to ring for a seryant, hufcuuzm hold of what she supposed to be the beil- rope and pulled it smartly. Unhappily it was the cord of the shower bath and forthwith down glun ed a delege of cold water. Her husband caught frantically at another cord on his side of the ex- temporized couch, but the only response was an equallv liberal deluge of water, this time nearly boiling hot. The un- happy pair then screamed in unison. When the servants came they found the floor flooded with water and the wife was mclwd like a monkey on her husband’s k uttering the most lamentable cries, while her in the darl door. ood man was fumblin, trying his best to about nd the Women and Men, For where is any author in the world Teaches such beauty asa woman’s eye? —Love's Labor Lost. n the Epoch of current issue is this: ‘ew men pass through the ex- perience of marriage without some change, for better or worse, in their out- ward condition at least. In many cases the change is an improvement,a source of enjoyment to the man himself and a sub- jeet for flattering comment on the part of is friends. This is especially so with re- gard to the slovenly fellows, who often look, after they have come into the hands of aneat and energetic wife, as if they had just gone through a Turkish bath,had their cravats tied and been fitted out newly by a compotent tailor. It is with a shock™ of pleased surprise that one meets a man of this character soon after his marriage, finding him not merely clothed, as of yore, but dressed, brushed and trimmed.as to his hair, and well shaved. In fact, he seems to have ac- quired a new set of bones; his back is straighter,the shape of his head is altered entirely, and a pair of well-defined shoulders have emerged from the mass of cloth under which they were formerly con- cealed. Nor 1s the cha physical only; the married man’s morale has im rovei, He looks out upon the world with a face cleaner and brighter than 1t was in his bachelor days, and the consciousness of presenting a good lgpearnucu has raised him 50 per cent in his own estimation, and therefore 25 per cent in the opinion of others. And allthisis due to marriage —an institution that snfias and cynics in every age have ridiculed.” Marrying Money. When a young man marries an heiress, says a wrifer in the Epoch, the changes inhis outward condition are subtle but none the less interesting. Very soon— miraculously soon indeed--he becomes a little stouter, and his walk is slower, his feet being Elnnmd more solidly and more carefully than they were when they car- ried a buchelor. flis clothes then turn darker by oue shade at least, and his watchchain 18 certainly a thought heavrie. The handle of hisumbrella also, has become perceptibly bigger, whereas his scarf-pins are undoubtedly more quiet in character—less fantastic or trivial. Observe him on his way to a church we ding, for example, and mark how diffor- ent is his mode of progression from that of an unattached and miscellaneous youth., The rogue knows that a good seat will be reserved for him at the head of the aisle, and that he nas no oc- casion for hurry. When he drives out it is in a substantial dog cart or mail phweton, and he escheweth-—not,perhaps, ultogether without regret--the sidebar buxgy which he used to think the kind of vehicle that he would have if ho were rich. He is now a substantial person the community—a family man, & capital- ist by proxy—and he "begins to have serious views on politics and financial matters, which he 1s desirous of discuss- g with older men. In fact he 1s rather fiwon to shunning his companions. He as deserted their raunks, and although he has gained 1n dignity he has lost %n freedom, His chains are golden, to be sure, but they bind with the force of a less costly metal. No lonfer for im are the delights of a midnight cigar or a ro- freshing brandy and Soda at the club. He is now the victim of times and sea- sous, and must go discreetly home when the proper hour arrives, Through Frost and Through Fire. Fort Gamnes (Ga.)

Hartford Courant, March 10: A case of a happy early marriage, in which the es have lived happily far into old nd perhaps a case unparalleled in Connecticut in this latter respect—is that of our respected citizen, Mr, Ch Hillyer. Mr. Hillyer and his wife h been married upward of eighty-two year: They knew each other as little children, and” were playmates at the age of five years Mr. Hiilyer, now eighty-five, and who, by a long and upright business life, has amassed a great fortune, finds in his declining years his best comfort and hap- iness at his own fireside, and he and his ite companion do not like to be much separated. CONNUBIALITIES. Rev. John White, an Arkansas colored gm-cnar. aged 120, has just been married to liss Smith, a young lady of sixty-five. “Is this your fourth or fifth marriage?” she asked in a loud voice of an old woman on the car. “Hush! Don’t speak so loud. This is my fitth, but he's in poor health, and L may want to marry again,” A young woman of Detroit who recently in- herifed $250,000 has refused thirty offers of marriage in the last ghree months. As a wholesale dealer in broken hearts she could double her fortune in a year or so. Indianapolis Journal: Mr. and Mrs. Na- thaniel Champion, two well-known pioneer peoPlu of Seymour, celebrated their golden wedding at the opera house on Saturday night, which was crowded with the friends of the venerable couple. *‘My dearest Maria,” wrote a recently mar, ried husband to his wife, She wrote back: “Dearest, let me correct your grammar or your morals. You address me, My dearest aria.’ Am L to suppose you have other ‘dear Marias?' ” Husband (impatiently to wife)—*I told you 1 only wanted halfa cup of tea, and, as usual, you've filled it up to the top. Don't you know what halt full is?” Mother-in-law (erimly)—*She ought to know by this time. You've been half full often enough.” A Chicago daily journal asked for letters from ladies who believed they had model husbands. The three most enthusiastic res- ponses came from wives of drummers who are away from home nearly all the time. The problem, “How to be happy, though wmar- ried,” would seer to be solved at last. A marringe of millions goecurred recently at Los Angeles, Cal.. when C. J. Griffith was united to Miss Mary Agnes Cliristina Mes- mer, The bride has™ $1,000.000 in her own right, while the groom’s “wealth is estimated at 85,000,000 in land d mines. She is twenty years old, and speaks four languages, while he 1s thirty-four. Their wedding jour- ney will includeé a tour of Europe. 1In direct contradiction to the supposition that young men nowaday are averse to riage is th tement of Miss Jennie Gray, who works a 160-acre farm in Dakota, and saysshe could work another if the fellows who want to marry her would stop bothering her. But, after all, it only suggests that there are girls and girls. Carrie Stern, a comely German girl ot To- lono, IIL, went recently with her sweetheart to Decatur to be married. Arriving there, d to have the ceremony performed ned to her home, Miss Stern says that an astrologer told her several years ago that her marriage would prove unhappy, and she declares that she will never marry. At arecent wedding in New York the bride wore a dress more than a century old. 1t was made for her maternal great-crand- mother in 1778 and worn at her wedding, when Alexander Hamilton was groomsman and General Washington and his staff were present us guests. 1t was worn for the second time by the bride’s mother forty-five years 250, — RELIGIOUS.

Musical taste isstill in a formative period out there. When Mme, Bernhardt played in *'La Dame aux Camellias” at the New York Star theater last week, she offended her auditors so reck- lessly that the house hummed with thelr un- pleasant comments, She would not begn the play until the time was nearer nine o’clock than the advertised eight, and the in- tervals between acts were each half an hour long, the performance being thus tediously prolonged until midnight. A story of Von Bulow’s eccentricities, lately set in circulation, runs as follows: *“Fhe former director of an orchestra, bein, finieally inclined, had bought a packet o soveral lead pencils, in order, as he said, that the band might duly mark the parts with notes of his wishes. = Von Bulow apoeared at the conductor’s desk, also with a parcel, ‘which he gravely opened, and, without saying & word, handed round—seventy pleces of In- dia rubber. The sofa on which Fedora was expected o dle at the New York Star theatre secmed rather old and rickety to Mme, Bernhard, so she deliberately shook it to test its sustain- ing powers. Then It was seen that one of the iegs was gone, its place being tilled by a Plnln pinestick, There was some fiery Gal- ic sputtering in the star’s dressing-room after the curtain went down, and the objec- tionable old sota was forthwith removed. Nate Salsbury and Miss Ray Samuels were married in New York last week by Jud Edward Patterson, in the court room of the ~ity hall, The only ns present were two sisters of the bride, Colonel Robert G.
