ROUBLS OF A BRIDAL PARTY. -o "Say, what kind of a hotel do )u keep?" said a green looking an, as he s.tepped up to the coun r of a Milwaukie hotel and regis red his name and added "and ife" after it. "Can a new married >uple settled down here for two three days and have a quiet sit with each other and not be ared out of their boots?" The hotel man said they could right to their room and stay ere three days or three weeks and ver come to their meals if they dn't want anything to eat. "But hat is the matter? Have you en -annoyed?" asked the hotel an. "Annoyed? That doesn't express We were married day before sterday at St. Paul and went a hotel. I live about sixty iles West of St. Paul, and travel g men put up a job to make me -ed. There were about a hundred them snowed in at St. Paul, d I'll be darned if they didn't ep us awake all night. They knew a were a bridal couple and they ibed the bell boys and porters to t them act for them, and when we ng the bell boy a drummer for a iicago cigar factory came in and rnted to know what was wanted. ordered a pitcher of ice water, Ld a Milwaukie drummer for a ocery house brought it in and he oked at my wife, who is bashful, d made her feel real bad. I dn't know they were drummers til the next day or I should have led some' of them. I rang the 11 for coal and a traveling sales an, who posts railroad cards ound and works up excursions, me in and fixed the fire, and he ayed and poked it for half an ur, and he had more gall than I 'er see. He asked so many ques ms about how long we had been arried that I wanted to thump m, but my wife said we didn't mnt to have no row the first day a were married. I rung for a tambermaid to clean up the room td bring some towels, and it was out half an hour before she me, and I went down to the See to see about my trunk, and e chambermaid stayed about half hour and was very interesting, id my wife said she was a real easant, affectionate sort of a eature, far above her station, and tell you I was mad when I found t that it was a smoothfaced, ndsome, young Jewish drummer r a Milwaukie clothing house, who as in with the gang, and he gave e chambermaid $3 to loan him an d dress so he could play cham rmaid. When my wife told me at the he chambermaid patted her ithe cheek, and said she was the reetest bride that was ever in a >tel, and asked for a kiss, and my ife said she thought it would be >harm to kiss a poor chamber aid, and encouraged her, I wanted kill him, and I went down to the fice the next morning, but the nooth-faced cuss had gone to argo. It was all the landlord >uld do to hold me. Well, while e were at .supper somebody got to- our room and put cracker -ambs in our bed, anidwe found a dd oil-cloth floor mat over the top teet, enodgh to freeze anybody. ut the weist was at ight. We had just got comfortably in bed when there was a knock at the door, and I got up, and the watch man was there, and he said he wanted to point out to me the fire escape so I could get out in case of fire, and I went out into the hall and he took me away out into the end of the building to show it to me, and while I was looking out of the window my wife came running down the hall and begging me to save her. I asked her what was the matter, and she said as soon as I went out a man that looked like a porter came in the room and told her to fly, and save herself, and to follow her husband. She felt aw ful when she found there was no trouble, and got back into our room half froze. I have got them fellows down fine. The fellow who called me out to look at the fire escape is a drummer for a Phila delphia millinery house, and the one that scared my wife out of her wits travels for a hearse factory at Rochester, N. Y. My wife says she would know him, because he has a big gray moustache and wears a diamond collar-button in his shirt. She said she thought he was pretty stylish for a porter at the time. They woke us up several times in the night to tell us iwhat to do in case we were sick, and in the morning, before we were up, a waiter brought up our breakfast. He said the landlord sent it up, and he just stood around until we had to sit up in bed and eat break fast. I thought at the time that it was kind in the landlord to send up our breakfast, but when I found that the waiter who brought it up was a traveling man for a reaper factory at Rockford, and remembered how darned impudent he looked at my wife, I could have murdered him, but the clerk said he has gone to Winnepeg. "It was just about as bad com ing down here on'the sleeping car, and I think half the passengers on the car were those same drummers that were snowed in. It was colder than Alaska, and I would order extra blankets, and they would steal them. I had more than twen ty blankets put on the bed, and in the morning there was nothing but a sheet over us. And every time there was a blanket spread over us there was a different porter put it on, and I think they were all travel ing men. Every little while some body would pull open the curtain and sit down on my berth and begin to pull off his boots, and I would tell him the berth was occu pied and that he must have made a mistake, and he would look around at us as innocent as could be and ask our pardon and then go out and damn the porter. Once I felt some body feeling about my berth and I asked what was the matter, and the fellow said he was looking for my wife's shoes to black. Then about every fifteen minutes the conduc tor would open the curtains and hold a red lantern in and ask for our ticket. I think they punched my ticket sixty-five times. Any way it looked like a porous plaster when I got up in the morning. I think it was the traveling men who were playing conductor, but I was sleepy and I thought the best way was to let them punch it. Well, about 3 o'clock in the morning somebody punched us and said it was time to get up, as all the pas sengers were up, and we would have breakfast in fifteen minutes And then we hustled around and got dressed the best we could, lay mug on our backs and kicking our clothes'up in air and catching them on ourselves when they came down, I got my pants on wrong side be fore and lost everything out of my pockets, and my wife lost her hair and had to tie a handkerchief around her head, and then we had our berths made up and sat up till daylight, and the porter found my wife's hair and pinned it to the curtains of a berth occupied by a preacher from Oshkosh, and he kicked and got mad and talked about it and wondered how it camne there, and he swore about it, and I think he travels for - an Oshkosh carriage factory. Oh, I never had sch a night, or two sach ni$hts, in all my life, and what I want to know is iflIcan be quiet here and get a little sleep and not be an nayed." The hotel man told him if any body came around to bother him to knock them clear down stairs and he would be responsible, and the bridegroom took his satchel and his wife and the colored man showed them a room, and they have not showed up since. It is confounded mean in traveling men to get snowed in and form a syndi cate to have fun. They will cause themselves to be disliked if they keep on. OUR NEW YORK LETTER. From our own Correspondent. MORE ARTISTIC STEALING-A WILTED BLOSSOM-ENTERPRISE OF A FA MOUS CATERER-INTERNATIONAL COMPLICATIONS EXTRAORDINARY -THE NATURAL HISTORY OF MASHERS- FEMININE QUICKNESS ON THE TRIGGER-CONNUBIALITIES OF A CONCEITED CORNETIST-A NEW WOLF FOLD-HYGIENE ON JUDICIAL BENCH. NEW YORK, March 21, 1883. Some day, perhaps, we shall have bank directors who know enough and are diligent enough to ferret out error so quickly after it is com mitted as to discourage any wilful attempts on its funds. Another clerk has been discovered to have robbed that unhappy Jersey City Bank, and is on his way to join the late president, treasurer, and cashier in State Prison. His simple plan was to cash cheques ostensibly drawn by persons who had ceased to have accounts with the bank, but whose names having been on the books and thus familiar to his superior whose duty it was to check his work, would pass without comment. By this pleasing device in the course of seven years he managed to get away with $12,000. Seven years' labor ought to have netted him more than that with such chances, and any brainy fellow could have got more honestly, but perhaps the terrible dread of being found out, which would worry most men into their coffins, acts as a pleasing excitement to a certain class of thieves, something like hunting a grizzly bear with a lame mustang and damp cartridges. Lily Langtry has dropped among us suddenly after a 1,500 mile ride from Keokuk, in order "to get a rest." The fact seems to be that the lady who travels on her face and shape (her reputation fled long ago), finds that the "daisies" of Hoosierdom and other wild Western regions are generally preferred. The novelty has worn off and peo ple don't care to see good plays murdered by bad acting, and the lacadaisical airs of a fat Prince's ex pet, and Gebby, though an assidious monkey, is so stupid and quarrel some that he has been an addition al millstone to the fast fading beauty. Stokes, by the way, is now in negotiation for the Madison Square Gardei property, and will probably get it, He is heavily backed b men with much money and faith in his enterprise and honesty. Van derbilt ought to be glad to sell it, for its possession has entailed plen ty of (mostly well-merited) abuse that cannot have been pleasant even to the thickest hided of fools. Circuses and shows innumerable, holy and unholy revivals, walking matches, prize fights, etc., including Offenbach, the high priest of too suggestive melody, have all been exploited there, and sundry persons have been precipitated out of ex istence by its falling walls, the parsimony of the proprietor and the inefficiency of the Building Depart ment. Stokes may not improve its morals, but his buildings will un doubtedly be ornamental. He has introduced a new method of utiliz ing reformed prizefighters as guar dians of the' peace in his elegant gin-mill, where a too exuberant im biber might by firing a glass at some of the Ictures of nude1 nymphs or super fixtures.of other kinds destroy %-. . ands of dollars worth of art triumphs. Congress is about~ to adjourn in the midst of a tremendous diffi culty, "Richelieu" Robinson, the Brooklyn Anglo-mnaniae, has been pulling the British lion's tail till he is black in the face, and really some of the late proceedings of the beast have made sensible people angry. A steamer foundered in mid-ocean the other day, and among the pas sengers rescued most gallantly by the crew of the Republic, a very monarchical sort of vessel by the way, was an Irish laborer whom the officers straightway put in irons and solitary confinement on suspi cion of Fenianism, and so they kept him for two days while act ually tied up to a New York pier till the British Consul's Deputy examined him and let him go. Then there is an attempt of no in significant dimensions to extradite an editor of an Irish paper on sus picion of being an accessory to the political removing of two late prominent government officials, to wit, Viceroy Lord Cavendish and the permanent Under-Secretary for Ireland, a Mr. Burke. A masher is a beast about which philologists and a good many other people seem to have troubled them selves lately. Perhaps in all their quarrels they may not be so far apart as some of them may think about the new or old name for the "lady-killer." Dropping the "lady" -and no lady ought to care for the buzzing compliments of a musca (Lat,)-it might be seen that the killing part of the business is com mon to all Keltic tongues. The modern Erse has been insisted on in the columns of several news. papers. An angry Spaniard would yell "Matar !" where the Rajput would shout "Maro 1" Allowing for the usual philological license in interchanging liquids and con sonants, these words are identical with the Gipsy '-Ma-asha." Borrow and many others have always held that the Gipsies were the remnants of an expelled tribe from Hindus tan. I have long believed, from similarities between Gaelic and the old Diavidian languages, but from identity of ancient customs, that the Irish are old emigrants from India. The saffron robe of the an cient Fenians is the same as the holy garment donned by Rajput warriors in their last extremity, and Erse and Sanscrit are as mutually intelligible as Norse and English. Gipsy talk is to a Hindu like Dutch to an Englishman, a sort of "bad English," as, I think, Charles Lamb or somebody once remarked, some thing that with strained attention can be understood by speakers of either tongue. One of thd recommendations of the French fiats now s" popular except to the hired girls. who find it less convenient for flirtation than basements-has been supposed to be their freedom from burglars. There is a janitor attached to most of them, and it is supposed that the certain presence somewhere about of a good many people would dis courage the midnight prowler; but, somehow or other, they seem favo rite objects of attack. A young and pleasing widow lady pleasantly interfered with some robbers, the other morning, in a way they'll re member. She heard a noise and, without waking anybody or making any fuss, quietly investigated. What she saw induced her to pro cure a single-barrelled pistol, which she carefully discharged, retiring to reload. The robbers fled'- before she could treat them with another shot, but a red stream of liberal di mensions testinied to the accuracy of her aim. Such a woman must be handy to have around a house. Your Radix is disqualified from competition for the prize. Blower Levy is in trouble again, Minnie Conway, whom he married some years ago, has returned to the stage, to the surprise of everybody. The reason is now apparent, It seems Levy had an Indiana divorce from his London wife, but continued to support her and then tried to get a valid divorce after his second marriage. Minnie claims that both she and Levy were deceived by ex Judge Dittenhoefer, a prominent politician and Levy's counsel, about' this Indiant divorce, and there's considerable of a rumpus. A new St6ck Exchange is to be formed. As the old one is now chiefly doing business on the jack knife swapping basis, it is difficult to see how it will work.

Register hai liscovered who struck Billy Patter ion, Mr. Patterson, the father o lime. Bonaparte, was a wealthj Baltimorean. Upon one occasion while Mr. Patterson was in- Frank in looking after his property, s general row occurred among thi oys, in which he became involved [n the confusion, indeed, some ono truck Mr. Patterson a tremendoui blow, and this so angered him the e walked through the crowd, in uiring in stentorian tones: "Whc itruck Billy Patterson?" Mr. Pat terson was a large and powerfu nan, and, under the circumstances ao one among the fighters appeare< lesirous of holding himself respon ible. The inguiry passed into i byword and even to this day th inquiry can be heard: Who strucl Billy Patters6n?" The origins Billy pursued the inquiry with as tonishing vigor, but without avail md at his death, curiously enough inserted a clause in his will setting %part $1,000 to be paid to the pei ion who should give to his heir br executor the name of the man whi struck him. The fight in whicl Billy Patterson was struck occurred in 1873, and it is passing strangi that just one hundred years after o elaim should be put in for the rE ward. And yet a correspondent o [he Register says that such is th ase. A Mrs. Jennie G. Covely,,. o Athol, New York, daughter o George W. Tillerton, has written t [he Ordinary of Franklin County elaming this legacy of $1,000. Sh gtates that she is an invalid, aged md infirm, and in great need of th money. In 1783 her father wa guite a young man, and being ii great fear of Mr. Patterson fled thb ountry at'once and never heard o [he reward or legacy. She says shm as often heard her father speak o the fight and the blow he gave Mr Paterson and the fierce anger o [he latter. The thumb of Tiller ton's hand was disjointed by tim blow and was so severely injures that it remained a useless membe to the day of his death. As t facts she gives correspond so exact ty with the facts of the case, t :orrespondent presumes that Mrs Dovely will receive the legacy with mut delay. L DRUNKARD ALL HIS LIFE )olonel nanidafl in the Augusta Chronile A friend of mine, suffering froan aalculus and failing to obtain're lief from celebrated physicians an4 Loudly advertised patent medicines was told that there dwelt in th >ine woods of a Southern State a ld doctor who could cure him Reaching the city nearest ,to tim specifled locality, he made inquira of an acquaintance and was tok4 hat the skillful person sough dwelt near a small country hamlet thirty miles away.
