VAiii. Quite a large party of the youth
of South Jlend. Ind., who feel called
upon to congregate before Hie abode of
every newly -married pair and conduct
themselves like a delegation direct from
the internal regions, bad assembled
before tin; residence of Mrs. William
Dnfrees, on Wayne stivet, that city, a
night or twoago. to 'bell" hor daugh
ter and Marshall '. Crqnhart, who
had just been married. The hideous
serenade was at its wildest, when the
crowd, intent on nothing but the busi
ness in hand, was stauipecdcd by a
tlc'ugc of water, poured in at short
range from a hydrant less than a hnn
drek feet away. They went down
like a set of tenpins before a clean
sweep. As fast as they could recover
they tied down Wayne street, leaving
their torturing musical instruments
upon tin; field. But a second detaeh
ment of hose boys had clapped a length
of hose to the hydrant at Wayne and
Franklin streets, and as the vanquished
serenaders, soiled and .streaming from
the fust on.-law, came up, they were
again sent to tile grass by another
waterspout. They escaped over fences
and through the alleys, looking' more
likei'roivued rats than human beings.

"We're too early: we'll have to loaf
around until the doors arc oien."'
"Loaf around'' replied the other,
'that's not a pretty expression."
"Well, I'd like to know," said the re
proved girl, "how I am to learn to
talk proper, when 1 have three big
brothers harping about 'chin music,'
'cheese it,' 'whoop 'em up,' 'that is
not your racket, ' and all that sort of
taikail the time."
A lawyer who was sometimes for
getful, having been engaged to plead
the cause of" an offeuder, began by say
ing. "1 know the prisoner at the bar,
arid he bears the name of being a most
ooii-umin.itc scoundrel!" Here some
body whispered to him that the prison
erSvas his client, when he immediately
continued, "But what great and good
man ever lived who was not calumii
ted by many of his contemporaries?"
"You havn't put on a clean shirt to
day," said a captain to his corporal;
"you never saw me without a clean
shirt on parade, when I was corporal."
(lie loved to speak of the immense dif
ference between his present situation
as captain, and that from which he had
risen as corporal.) " True, your honor;
but then your honor's mother was a
