Two’or three weeks since tho young lady died, after a few days’ illness, and the grief of the sadly stricken suitor was very sad to contem plate. Everything that had belonged to her was very dear to him, ren dered doubly so by her untimely tak ing off. lit* prized the few tributes he had given her to such a degree that he couldn’t think for a moment of leaving them with her family. He cami* with a box before the funeral occurred, collected them very carefully, nailed them up, and forwarded them by the next express* to his home. The sister of the deceased expressed a desire that she might be allowed to retain some small «oticenir, and the dis consolate lover suggested that perhaps she would like a muff. If so, he was ready to sell it. He wouldn’t be mean ; it cost him $15, and seeing it w i- her, she might have it for $10. She pro» duced the money, took the muff and the lover after the funeral ceremony «¡(‘parted—doubtless to bestow the presents he had regained on some new obj«*ct of affection, providing, of course, that they are to revert to him in case of death. J oaquin M iller did an act last Christmas which would go far toward immortalizing a much smaller man than he. He sent his two children a pair of stockings apiece from London, one of cotton and one of wool. But then Joaquin always did do things on a grand scale. That historic horse, you know, w.is rather an extra sort of cayuse. Not only is Joaquin, the Webfoot, a poet, but he is a man of soul, a thorough philanthropist, as his children will hereafter elieerfully and gratefully testify. A young man in Indiana sued his father for loaned money, which the fa ther claims was his own property. The latter’s counsel, in summing up the case of his client, remarked: “Twice has the prodigal returned to his father’s house ; I wire has he beeu received with open arms; twice has the fatted calf been killed; and now he comes back and wants the old cow. A bill has passed the California Senate tu allow each convict when dis charged from the State Prison a suit of clothes and twenty dollars, and provides that he shall not have hin hair cut for three months prior to Ids discharge.
