Gobnebed.?At Big Greek, Arkuasas. tbey hovo a peculiar fashion which Bometimea proves embar? rassing to stringer*. As there is do preacher within. thirty miles of the place,- the way arranged for marrying is by kisaing across' a table. Recently, a New York drummer was out there on businesB. He put ap at a private houso, and became quite intimate with the family* One evening he waB fooling arunnd one of the girls, piuohing her, and generally tryiug tho extent of her sweet temper, whon she gave his whis? kers a pall, and ran. Ho followed. She got the table between them. He chased her around it several times. When out of breath, he stopped ou one side of the table, and (be stopped on tiio other. He lookod at her for a mo? ment, and, making a wild plunge, caught her in his arms and gave hsr a hearty kits. She thou sat down ou the sola with uim, and they taikod pleasant? ly for a couple of hours?be thinking it' singular that ehe should sit op bo late. At last, she said: "Don't you think it'a about time we went to bed?" "I guess you're right," ho remarked, "Lot'd go." She lit a candle, and he was about to do the same, wheu bho Buid, "I reokon one's enough. One candle will light two folks to bed." "Undoubtedly it would," said tho drummer, "when those two people oc? cupy the same room. But your candle won't illuminate my chamber. The wall between tho two apartments isn't a good light-conductor."* "Ain't we agoiu' to oocupy the same room? Ain't we married?" she asked. "Ain't we what?" he shouted. "Married! Didn't you kiss me across the table? That married us." A cold sweat spread over the drum? mer. He know that if he said be wasn't married to her she would make an out? cry, and then her loving aud muoh-to bacoo-con8nming father would arise in his wratb and carve him into catlets with an "Arkansaw tooth-pick," and her brothers would bring down their shot-guns and empty the contents into him. He mast be strategic Ho must put her off. So be said: "Fairest of your sex, permit me to remark that I did not know that kissing across the table constituted a marriage ceremony. Bat I am oontent. I have never seen one who so completely filled my ideal of a beautiful, sweet, loving woman. How? ever, I would never think of holding you to this marriage until I had asked the permission o! your father to pay my addreBjOB to yon. To-morrow, at din? ner, when the entire family are present, I will propose for your fair hand." This satisfied the lady, and, after be? stowing upon him a fervent kiss, she went to her room, and he went to his. He packed his carpet-bag, took off his boots, and made tracks for the nearest railroad station. He didn't feel entire? ly safe until he had reached St. Louis. Ho hasn't informed his wife of this lit? tle adventure. He's afraid that she might write out to Arkansaw for the full facts in the case, and then he might get arrested for bigamy. Women uomatimos won't listen to reason, you kuow. TnE Latest.?Aud now it is t-aid that Sumner's death was caused by his wife's application for leave to marry again.
