There lived in i Brook- tMrdioffhous« gentleman, his wife HAd their pretty daughter. He WHS a >. Klwun in a Broa 'way dry geo*?s tomise, *nd Ills salary was 83,000 a year, had saved 910.090 in (flie course of thirty years of hard worV, Last sum­ mer his wife and daughter went to .JBridgehampton, Long Inland, for a 111- ; lle recreation, etui there met a young man from Chicago, who instantly fell Jttmpletely iu love with the young K^jjnroman, He seemed to have money, nnd the father WAS sent for to come down and look him over. The man of business ascertained In half an hour it'J' that the youngster was the *011 if a II. m rich merchant, who was rated among the millions by the commercial agen­ cies. Indeed, the Chicago merchant *nn ! his wife were at that moment in BrMgehampton. The Brooklyn man formulated a scheme and hurried to Brooklyn to put it into execution. In that city of churches there are to let full appointed mansions, iu which are only furniture, but bedding, table- wire, silver service, china lace curtains, j»i a no and library. The best of them fame high, to be sure, but they are ex f*edingly sumptuous, and to live 1. • them is to enjey life as though you |»wned them. Our Broadway salesmar, " -•* #3.000 a year hired one ol these ele- i*«tly furnished houses for six months r.-nt in advance, moved in ami sent *• >rd to his wife and daughter to in- f"e the Chicago folks home with them The Chicago folks accepted and rame Along. They found their new-made Brooklyn acquaintances liring in one Brooklyn's finest dwellings. The practiced eye of the Chicago merchant -**w that It must require an income of *t least 413,400 * year to even live in Mich a house--more likely it would require double that num. The Brook­ lyn man was evidently very rich, and $iis daughter was doubtless well wor- Uij to be the wife of his son. The boy pressed his suit. He was asked to come 4g.tin in a few weeks and get his ans­ wer. He did so, and was accepted. The girl could not then be married too •JOB, and December was named. Ac­ cordingly, just berore the holidays. : there was a grand wedding in the fiansion, There was a big handful of Chicago guests who congratulated the |oung man from Chicago on his good f;':4»ck in getting so pretty a bride, and •oe apparently with such well-to-do parent*. It was * very successful wed- 4i::g, aad the bride is very happy pre­ sumably in her Chicago home; hut the Brooklyn man's lease of the mansion ran out on the 15th of this month, and lie is now back in the boarding house, and still selling goods in the Broadway irixm at 93,000 a year. Almost all of the $10,000 be had save d is zone, too. But he has married his daughter to the •on of a milllonarie, and she has prom* i*«d to take care of hiu.-jjr. F. Corres­ pondence Utiea Observer, f^An Ashlacd, Wis., corresptfti^ent ®f the Lake Co. Patriot tells the follow, fug story of an Indian and dynamite: It being necessary to use dynamite In the removal of frozen earth and blasting rock, the contractors had use for considerable of this deadly com­ pound. A few days since the men with- >1ng to use some of the caps, were un­ able to find them, and another box was tent for. In the meantime an Indian brave of the reservation, prowling About the bridge work, found a nice box of caps and stole them. Thinking y§h»y would make a fine bracelet he was picking a cap to pieces with an old •mil. when the cap exploded. Well, the l»raye lest four fingers and one of his ; legs, and strange to say he is yet alive. Kansas man Bays in the West­ ern Rural that Johnson grass may do ; In the South, bnt anywhere north of the ttlrty-eSg»jt degree of north latl- tiide, it is a failure. It Is too tender t>ei«g neither a early spring grass nor a late fall grass In this climate. This Is sot only his experience, but that of imeortwo of bis neighbors as well «rho bought seed at the same time that be did. Also the Agricultural Report of Nebraska for 1884, speaking #f grasses, says that MJohnson graBs Is failure. ,.
