to any person, ` ,le stagy goes, and
its authenticity is guaranteed by subse-
quent occurrences, that the young lady
had made a rereerie shortly before the
Christmas holidays that any young
man of her acqualutanee who at a
quarter to 12 o'eloek on the night of
Decemlier 31 would make a proposal of
marriage to her, she would accept.
When she made the remark in the
hearing of one or two of her acquaint-,
antes she watt under. the, impression
that she never wquid have to make
good hor promise, as she had not the
faintest idea that any person would be
visiting her house at that time of
night. The remark made by Miss
Hermt•e
came tothe
carsf ten
0 or three
ce
r
young men from, different sources.
They did not acquaint each .other with
their intentions. but they meet have alt
been of the game mind, as 9:30 o'•olack
on the evening in question found three
of the maiden's admirers inthe parlor
of hor home. During the casual con
variation they had among themselves,
they found they were all there for the
scale purpose, namely, that of remain-
ing till. 11:45 o'clock, and then propos-
ingto their. yopng hostess. She knew
et title, and was in a dilemma, AS to
how to taet, but a plan occurred to her,
and she determined to $tats± it to the
young inen; so she arose in their
midst, and with a sweet smile all the
while, said: "Gentlemen, I am aware
of the object of yeur visit here, but as
I can't accept ell of your offers of mar -
nage, the bast way you can do lel to
march pennies, and the winning one is
to remain hero till the time Coutes for
making the proposal, which I said I
would acotapt.' This plan was carried
out, and John was the lucky one, and
at a quarter of an hour before the big
bell rung out the old and in the new
year he proposed, was accepted, and
just a little aver two weeks ago John
and Rennie were married. `the two
losers of the penny 'naval:Ing game

Bombay Street Scenes.
Bombay is exceedingly Interesting to
me. I love to soak my handkerchief in
camphor, and then start off in the edge
of the eveningto take a long ramble
on foot, oblivious of the danger from
cholera and other prevalent pestilen-
OCB.
Here is a single, lone Chinaman --the
only one I have seen in all Bombay—
whoIsstepping along to his shoe shop.
Here is a group of my esteemed coun-
trymen, at 1 immodiately gather from
the gilt inscription "US. S. Trenton,"
around their hat bands, and also tram
their blue sailor suits. They aro slight-
ly moistened with benzine, I can see,
and I have grave doubts as to their
mission on shore; but they compare so
favorably with the men from the
British ships in conduct, that I do not
rebuke then as I pass by. Hero are
some bootblacks, the first I have seen
since leaving San Francisco. Your
." shoes are always blanked by the hotel
porter or the boarding house porter, or
the steamer porter in these parts, so
that the business of the street urchin is
sadly injured. I do not hear the famil-
iar American cry, "Shine yer boots?"
These Hindoo bootblack's should visit
New York and see how it is done.
Hero a great crowd of natives are
looking off at the sky over the bay. I
look also, but see nothing I move on
further until I come in sight of the sea-
shore, when I discover thousands and
thousands of people sitting down and
gazing at the black cloudless sky. I
forret out a Parsee (the Parsees almost
always speak English) and he explains
it all to ate. T111s is the first dayof
the Iiiniloo New Year, and it is a great
national custom to -look for'the new
moon. After much looking I discover
theteen of night—the smallest cres-
cent have ever' sear.
The streets aro thronged with men,
omen and children, all -attired in cos-
tumes that are more showy than any I
have ever seen elsewhere in the world.
A series of terrific shrieks now rise
above the babelof street cries. I el-
bow my way along the sceue of opera -
lions and, find that a Hindoo is piercing
the nose of oue•of his daughters, abed
perhaps 10 years. ' This is of eouffa
e, part of.cvery Hindoo girl's education,
but it is a medicine that is not appreci-
bted in the taking. The menus adopt-
ed for performing tltu Operation are
rather primitive. , The' child's head is
held by one person, while another jams
the Wire of the jewel through the
shrinking cartilage of•the jiostril.`
Ask your mother or. :jour sister to
give you one of her long hairs; then to
ono end of it fasten a; piece of war
attach the other to 'a': pin; stick this in
the bottom of your 'Waist -teat, letting
the piece df wax ,din e'' at the full
length of the hair. 'Thus provided, if
you wish to prodttb$ astonishment, ask
some one to 144(4'0 a shilling, and,
while the per`sot is taking it out of
some pocket or purse, endeavor to put

AS =Ion look tit the shilling, of course
only to see if it is a good ono, stick the

thu'land's Hall,
The ""long ago" country school only
lives in "fond recollection." The Ieg
house has tumbled dawn, and the buzz
of the saw minis heard where youn
congressmen shouted "foul ball" and
"rut on." Old town bail, too, has
fallen into disuse. .Base boil may be
scientific, and may admit of more,
dangerous possibilities. but it is not
nearly so broad and liberal as town
ball. Why, sir,a whole neighborhood
could play town ball. Fifty on each
side could find ample accommodation.
Senator Garland was a great town ball
player. One day he struck an India
rubber with the butt end of a hickory
sapling. The belief exists that the ball.
is still traveling, though, a ball which
recently fell in Alaska may be the '
one. One day Garland came to school,
wearing a pair of bright, new shoes.
A little fellow—since overnor of Ar-
kansaw—approached him and said:
"Who made your shoes?"
"They wa'n't made," Garland re-
plied. "They were bought out of
town."
A few moments later he struck the
ball. The wonderful "lick" was at-
tributed to the shoes that were not
made. —Ark -an -saw Traveler.
The Kissime Custom.
Kissing, in England, was certaini=
known and practiced in the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries. and prac-
ticed with an easy familiarity whielt
shows the custom was general. In-
deed, so general was the use of the kiss
that it was as usual as the bow. A
gentleman taking a lady to her seat
from the dance invariably kissed her,
and if ho had not would have been
voted a very badly bred felIow.
The literature of kisses is curious.
There is a story retailed in the "Broad
Stone of Honor" of an English knight
riding through France to the Field of
the cloth of Gold. His horse cast a
shoe at a certain village, the seigneur
whereof had departed to the same
renclezveus, but the seigneur's lady
hospitably entertained tho traveler.
She cape out of her castle, attended
by twelve damsels fair to see, "And."
said the dame, "forasmuch as in Eng-
land ye halal: suit a aaistom as that a
man kiss' tt Wotnitn, therefore I will
that ye shall nlrso kiss these my maid-
ens." Which thing the knight straight-
way aitt and rejoiced greatly thereat.
The quaintness of the last phrase un-
denbtedly indicates the young man's -
feelings at the salve with considerable
exactitude.
In Africa, and other parts 'of the
world outside the circle of civilization,
kissing is yet an unknown art. Aa,
African traveler once offered a kiss,
Under favorable circumstances, to •
young Indy of• King'' Jumbo JuII'ibo's
court*, but she recoiled in great alarm,
observing that she was 'act yet worthy
to be eaten." ;
