Hew Mary Jane was Won.
How Her Father Helped the
Bashful Lovers at the Rioiit
Time.
There is no foolishness about some
of the fathers of Dubuque county,
Iowa, who have marriageable daugh
ters, and they know bow to precipi
tate business when the fruit is ripe.
Matters were brought to a climax with
a rush at a certain farmer's residence
in Ycrnon township, recently. A
young tiller of the soil bad for months
been paying most assiduous attentions
to one of his dmighters, but be was
such a bashful, modest chap, never
having been much in the company of
girls, except this ouc, that he bad
nover been able to raise his courage
sufficiently high to pop the all-impor
taut question.
He had gone to the house in which
his admirer lived, upon at least twenty
different occasions, resolved to know I
his fate; but when ushered iuto the i
presence of his fair one, into whose
keeping he bad placed his heart, his <
courage would invariably "go back on
him," and ho would return to his
lonely room in greater suspense than
before. Upon the evening in question ;
he had determined that, come what
would, he would tell his Mary that he j
loved her. He would ODce for all de
cide the matter. But, as upon each
former occasion, he could get the pro
posal no further than bis thront.
There it stuck, and he had just deter- 1
mined to gulp it down and give up the
siege when tho door opened and in
stalked the girl's father, who ad van-1
ced to where they were sitting and ad
dressed them: m
"I came in (o put a stop to .this in
fernal foolishness. It ain't the court
ing expenses that I'm looking at, for
coal oil's cheap an' wood bau be had
for the baultn'; but I'm sick and tired
of this billin' and cooin' like a pair of
sick doves, keepin' me awake of nights,
and it's got. to bp stoped right here.
Mary Jane, look up here. Do you
love Johu Henry well enough to mar
ry him ?"
"Why, father, I?I?you must"?
"Stop that darn foolishin'," yelled
the old man. "Answer 'yes' or 'no,'
mighty quick, too. It's got to be set
tled now or uever."
"Answer'yes*or 'no.' Speak!" roar
ed the old gent.
"Well, yes, then. There, now," and
Mary again hid her face.
"That's business ; that's the way to
talk. Now, Johu, look here?look up
here, or I'll shake you all to pieces.
Do you want that gal o'mine for a
wife? Speak out like a nin?, now." i
"Why. Mr.--, ain't this rath
er a?I mean, can't you"?
"Speak it out, or out of this bouse
you'll go head-forctnost. T won't wait
a minute longer. There's the gal, and
a likelier gal ain't in the State, and
you just heard her say she wanted you.
Now, John, I won't stand a bit o'
foolin'; once for all, 'yesv or 'no ?"
"Well, yes, sir; I have been pre
suniptoua enough to hope that I"?
"Ob, confound your soft talk; the
thing's settled now. You two blasted
fools would have beeu six months
more at that job that I've done in five
minutes. I nevCr saw euoh foolin' as
there is among young people now
adays. Ain't like it was when I was
young?an' so good night. You can
talk the thing over, an' you an' me
John.Ml go to town au' get the license
to-morrow. Soon be time to go to
plowin'?no time for lovc-makin'
then, flood night, good night; hope I
wasn't too rough, but I was determin
ed to fix the thing up one way or
'totber;" and the old man went back
to bed.
Now that the ice was broken, the
young people laid all their plans for
the future, and John felt just a little
bad at the comfort he had lost, when
Mary looked up at him shyly, and
said :
"This would have been all right
four months ago, John, if you hadn't
been soskeory. I kuow'd all the time
that you wanted to ask me; but wasn't
my place to say anything, you know."
No cards.
Once Wore United.
The return to the Rcpublicnn ranks
of the better class of Liberal Republi
ean?, is a gratifying fact. 'It indicates
a unity of purpose among intelligent
citizens to keep Democracy out of
power. In Ohio, Iowa, and Nebraska,
former Liberals worked earnestly lor
the Republican party. They have
good reason, therefore, to share in the
thanks due to all good citizens, for
the spleudid achievements of October
12th.
This return to the party of those
who left it in 1872 waste be expected.
In that year personal grievances led
to a rupture of party relations. The
Democrats, taking advantage of this,
thought to defeat tho Republican
party by accepting a life-lorg Repub
lican as their standard bearer. The
popular verdict rendered by the
people, was not against Mr. Greeley,
as an individual, but agaiust the party
at hie back. Mr. Greeley might be
trusted; the Democracy, despite its
promises, could not be. Those Re
publicans who voted for Mr. Greeley
did so out of respect for hiB long ser
vice in the cause of human freedom.
Their admiration for the man led
them to overlook or disregard the
dangerous political elements which
would have ueutralized his good inten
tions had he been elected. In addi
tion to this personal devotion to an
old leader, many joined the Liberal
ranks, believiug that a new party was
to be formed, that would draw from
the two great parties their very best
material. Thus the Republican party
had been created, and it was thought
that thus a great Liberal party could
be formed. They had no desire to
join tlie Democratic party. Between
the two,' they preferred the Republi
can party, but they wanted something
better than either. They failed in
their design. The people were not
ready to accept a third party; the ma
jority bad confidence in the one in
power; and the Democrats refused to
go out of their organization. So the
Liberal movement failed, and the ma
jority of those who favored it, have
re-united in goo*d faith with the Re
publican par;y. What has Ircen done
in Ohio, Iowa, and Nebraska, will be
done in New York and Pennsylvania.
Advices from the last named States,
indicate that nearly intelligent Liber
al has returned to the Republican
ranks. A few designing men have en
deavored to transfer them to the Dem
ocratic party, but they could not be
bought or sold. They have opened
their eyes to the fact, that the issue is
between the two great parties of the
day, and that every voto cast for side
issues is half a vote for the Democra
tic party. Knowing- this, they will
not be parties to placing in power a
party that they know to becorrupt
and unworthy of public support.
These facts all point to a united party
in 187?, and through this unity to a
brilliant Republican victory.

A Smuggler's Wooden Leg.
Perhaps the most ingenious method
of deceiving the Custom House officers
that bus come to light lately was the
device of a man with a wooden leg.
His name was Ernest Bohmnn, and
he was'a native of Saxony. He was
usually dressed very shabbily, and
traveled as a poor emigrant. He was
a skillful story teller, and betrayed
himself by telling a very humorous
story the second time within the bear
ing of the same detective, who was on
board one of the White Star steamer
with him. Tbc climax was brought
out in such an inimitable manner in
broken English, that the officer readi
ly recalled the voice and manner of
another one logged emigrant who had
come over in a ship of another line on
ly two weeks before.
Tho fact of a poorly dressed man
making two trips to America within
so short a period excited bis suspicion.
He accordingly reported tho circum
stances when the vessel arrived in
port, hud unusul "diligenco was used
in searching bis baggage and person,
and nothing was found until his
wooden leg was removed. It was
fastened to the natural leg at the
knee, and armed with a ferrule at the
bottom. When it w*s taken ofTit
,8eemed unusually light, and, on care
ful examination was found to be hol
low, and to contain about five thous
and dollars' worth of laces and pre
cious stones. He had been a diamond
merchant, but had hecome poor, and
subsequently entered the Prussian
army in the French war as a non
commissioned officer. He lost his leg
in battle, and when he recovered he
thought of this method of retrieving
his fallen fortunes.?Si. Cathcriti i'k

A Bloodless Combat.
; A fairer face than that possessed by
Eudocia von Amburg is seldom-seen.
Beside being beautiful, she was very
wealthy, having inherited the vast
possessions of her deceased parents.
Since her orphanage, she bad been the
ward of Joseph II., Emperor of Ger
many.
c Of course there were many suitors
for her hand; but among them nil
wore ouly two upon whom the fair
Eudocia looked with any degree of
favor.' These two were barons com
paratively young, who had served
with her father iu the war against the
Turks. Thoy were the Baron von
Oberndorf, and the Baron von Fro
baeh. The emperer, entertaining equal
respect for both these suitors knew not
how t6 decide between them, and the
maiden would not give him the benefit
of .her decision. In this dilemma,
Joseph told the two barons that they
?stood, upon equal terms in his con
fidence and esteem, he could give
neither the preference over the other,
and they must decide the matter by
their own prowess; but as he did not
wish- this matter to bo the cause of
bloodshed, and perhaps of death, as
mi^ht be the case if offensive weapons
were used, he had ordered a hirgesaek
to be provided, and he who should be
successful enough to put his rival into
it should have his fair ward for a wife
Thesuitor agreed, and this ludicrous
combat took place in presence of the
imperial court. It lasted almost an
hour. At length, Frobach was com
pelled to yield, and the triumphant
Obcrudotf, having forced him into the
sack, took him upon his back, aud
laid him at the feet of the emj?eror.
Within a week the fair Endncia be
came Baroness vou Oberndorf.
The BouTnKitN Cultivator.?
This old and reliable friend of the
farmer pursues the even tenor of its
way, striving earnestly and honestly
to assist him during these hard and
trying times. It advocates progress
only when it pays. There is nothing
of the fancy or sensational about it.
Solid, practical, suggestive, it is just
what real workingfarmers need. The!
very 1 ?rg? number of inquiries pre
scnled by them each month, to be ans
wered by the editor or his correspond
ents, show plainly their confidence in
it. If you have never seen a copy,
call at this office and examine one, or
send a stamp to W. L. Jonas, Athens,
Ga., and get a specimen. Price 8*2.10,
postage paid. Clubs at reduced rates.
Every Grange ought to get up a large
club.
Eight suits have been instituted iu
New York against persons who resis
ted the census-takers. Of these six
were women who rebelled at the in
sinuating inquiry. "Are you male or
female, and if so, how long?"
"It's honriblc to be economical,"
said a pretty woman to Quiz, with the
utmost platitiveuess. "There's no use
of living if you can't dress well What
is a woman, anyhow, without her
clothes?" And Quiz laughed a little,
and choked himself, and blushed, and
didn't answer.
A tramp who attended a fire got
around just as a keg of beer was tap
ped. Ho grabbed a mug and filled it,
unmindful of some ashes, three flies,
two shingle-nails and a piece of shav
ing soap already in the mug. When
he finished his drink none of these
articles were visible, aud later in tho
day he complained of being bilious.
"You're always off at nights,
Leander," said Mrs.Spilkins, reproach
fully, theother evening. "Yes, my
dear," replied Spilkins. "You'll re
member even when I first proposed
you considered me a pretty good
off-er."
Little Julia, just five years old,
being eautioued by her little brother
against eating too much for supper,
and being told she would have night
mare, wanted to know where the night
mare stayed in the daytime.
She was one of those sen time ntul
young creatures who linger at Lhedoor
way to bid you good-by in the star
light, anci after she parted from him
the other night, she went up to her
room murmuring: " . es, I would
know it wa<5 bard times, by the kind
of hair oil be uses now.
