THE-GIRLS ALL MARRIED. A Theatrical Troupe Quickly Dis banded In tli HlnckHills. SIDSKY , Xcb. , Jnn. 17 , Two or thrco weeks ngo Aleqk. Bosustow , a well known manager of theatrical enterprises in the west , wenvi' Into the Black IHHs country with a small troupe of variety performers , most of the members of which were young women. Ho arrived here last night frOmrtho Hills with more money than ho tthqw what to do with , and announced that , ho would organize another company , nd go back there as soon as possible. j-Aa tlio altractions that ho had with him numonth ago are not to be soon in the vicinity ho was asked what had bocotno of thorn. "Tho women aro'all up In the Hills , " ho replied , "every one of them. That's the beauty of the thing. Wo opened first at Rapid City , and had a tremendous house. Everybody in town was there. After the show the audience marched in a body tote to our hotel and serenaded us. The next night the same crowd was there , nnd when tlio performance was over it es corted us to the tavern. This thing was continued until tlio end of engagement , and when wo set ont for Lead City about fifty of the boys in Rapid followed after ana attended the opening performance there. Some of them remained until wo got through there and accompanied us to Deadwood , many of the Load City lads going over , too. At Dcadwood wo had some trouble. Ono of my best dancers and singers had been pursued by a Rapid City man and had consented to marry him. Ho was determined to have her leave the company nt once , and when I was laboring with her the others came up ami said that they also had oilers which they were thinking of accepting. I saw that there was nothing but ruin ahead of mo unless I could head oil' this thing , and so 1 told the girls that while they were looking out for themselves they should not forgot mo. I had brought them into the promised land , nnd I was deserving of considerate treatment. You see 1 had always treated 1115' people pretty decent , ami they felt friendly to ward mo. My proposition was that llio girls who wanted to accept offers of mar riage should do so , but that they should inform their admirers that they wore under contract with me for ono year , and that these contracts could bo broken only by the payment of a forfeit of $ 'J50. They agreed to this , and I insisted on nothing but that they should all hang together and go with mo to Sturgis , wliero we would disband. "With tins understanding we set out for Sturgis. The boys front Rapid City , Lead City and Dcadwood followed us , and at Sturgis 1 had the best houses of the season. It beat anything you ever saw. I was on the door , and they shoved dollars at mo until I couldn't got away with them. After three nights ot this sort of thing wo disbanded ; , every lady in the company was married , and I goti2fiO for each ono of them. As to ono of the girls , I guess slio was the prettiest one , 1 could have sold tier release half a dozen times over. One man linally did pay mo the amount on condition that , if ho didn't ' got her I would refund it. She married him , 1 believe , and I presume I will have to settle , with tlio other feliow when 1 go back. Yes , I'm goinc back there , you bet. Just as soon ' 0)31 ) can get another company together I will , try it again. No , I'm not exactly in the matrimonial agency business , , ljut it does look that way a little * for a iact. On the next trip I intend to put it into the contract that anybody leaving the company before tho'uiid o'f the engage ment shall forfeit § 250. In this way I will make sure of making a little money. It was nothing but s.hcergood nature on the part of tlie girls.that enabled mo to lay up a cent oh tin's trip. My company would have melted , iiway like a snow bank in July if tlm women hadn't been inclined to do the fajir'thing ' by mo. "The love-making'iQJ ; these fellows is absolutely irresistible. ' I " .never saw any thing like it. It flatters a' woman half to death. They hans around nnd look at her , and oiler to do all sorts of favors for her. One of my ladies went to tlm post- ollice in Sturgis and received a couple of newspapers from Rapid City containing some favorable mention of her perform ance , and when she started to return to tlm hotel thrco or four chaps oll'ered to carry them for her , one of them saying as he , with greater boldness than the rest , seized the papers , that 'no woman don't carry no freight in this town.1 I'm going back there , you bet. " DETROIT'S DRUNKEN JUDGE. I-Veil n cut DrlnkH Jlud the EITcct of Making ; Him Very Affectionate. Detroit News : "Whon I am dead , " Judge Chipman remarked Tuesday af ternoon during the trial of the Wheaton- Beechcr case , "I want this much good thought of me by the jurors : That the Wliuaton-Beeclicr case is settled anyhow. I'm going to sit on it day and night , with fifteen minutes intermission for meals , until it is settled. After making this statement tlio judge began to grow vis ibly more impatient throughout the af ternoon at the length of time the case was taking. His impatience seemed agra- vated by frequent visits ho paid his pri vate ollico. On cacli return from these visits his broad , heavy face , rod enough when he had mounted the bench after noon , grow redder , until at last , it fairly Ilatncd. On each recurring voyage Ins steps grew heavier and more uncurtain. Now and then , through the darkness of his impatience , came a gleam of hi larity , lie would turn his ga/o from stolid contemplation of the lloor , and fastening it on some one of the audience or jury , look unutterablelove. . Then ho would smile painfully. Once ho arose from tlm hunch and .strolled with a tragic air toward an old man who sat nuar the railing. "Art then my father's ghost ? " ho in quired jocosely in a loud voice. The old man looked up in surprise. His honor smiled again and his face grew redder with the exorcise. Colonel At kinson , Bueclmr's counsel , stopped in thu midst of his questioning. Chipman noticed this , ana turning half around , growled : "Well , soon ! " "We're waiting for your honor. " His honor strolled Jjack to his o'esk. Not long did ho remain there , however. Ho stepped down iu iioccupied the seat reserved for the coucj. deputy sheriff , and continued to unin.su himself as his heated fancy seemed to suggest. Late in the ; ( ftoni < ) CMtie \ found occa sion to pay htill auojtiinr visit to his pri vate olhcu. While lie was gone progress in the case was siotipod. On coming bai'k ho growled angrily ; "What's tlio matter j Why don't yon goonV" "Wo were waiting for your honor , " Colonel Atkinson responded , wearily. "Well , go on , now,1' Chipman ordered. Tim colonel turned. ] to obey , when his honor interrupted huji.t. " .No , you can't go r > iu This whole case has taken long onoilL'Ji Already. 1 can't lei you go on , C'olnnfll. Mr. Beuuhur ought never have used .iho language ho did. Mr. Whuaton is-Whian of honor. I would not say what .Mr. Buoelior said of any man , especially my relatives , I love Mr. Wheaton , Mr. Wheaton is an honest man , a good man , and the kindest man I ever saw.1' Colonel Atkinson objected to this eulogy , as ho was under tlio impression that the judge was about to give the casu to the jury B"CoIonel Atkinson , you are a jewel , and his honor committed a very big smile. " You are an ornament to tlm bar. 1 don't know , "Your honor , " Interrupted Colonel Sol- Icrs"Sit down , Sellers. " bawled his honor. Then , in more tender tunes , "I love you. Colonel Atkinson' . 1 think tlie world of you. But 1 cannot allow yon to go on. 1 like Mr , SVheaton , but 1 cannot keep aaadjL. . - , _ . . y.ou hero longer , If I had not been elected congressman , but had been sent to the supreme bench instead , 1 might possibly have changed the law. As it is , 1 must order a verdict for the defendant. I hope nobody is angry. Take the ver dict. " The surprise was tremendous Nobody was moro astounded than thu defendant himself. His honor adjourned court without the nidof a deputy. Then ho descended and shook hands with everybody ho encoun tered and showered on all professions of his undying love. Ho was maudlin. His steps were unsteady. Ho was drunk. LITTLE JOHNNY WICKERSHAM. A FIRcon-Voat-OlU Ilchcl lh.it Didn't Know Wlint It'aa to Me Afraid.

On cither side of the road was a high stakc-and-rider fence , forming a lane. Our camp ground was an old Held nortn of the lane. It was high and sloped to a ravine onu-fourth mile toward town. On our west was a thick growth of young oak trees , so thick that a horseman could not ride through. Two hundre.d yards from thu young timber , toward town , wo had made a gap in the lane by letting tlio fence down to go through into tlio other Held for water. Our ojlicurs , with few execu tions , were down in town loading wagons with salt to send south. To tlio south of tlio lane , beyond tlio ravine , toward town , was camped the cavalry , who were per forming picket duty. About p. in. on October 25 , 1852 , the usual monotonv of camp life was broken by the sound of ninny horses' feet run ning on the hard road. 'There's a race. " shouted the boys , and with seemingly ono accord , wo were on our feet , m a moment. Six horsemen came Hying down tlie lane from the wust. Bets wore freely offered. The riders had no guns or hats. There was no jockeying- that race , but every fellow doing his level best to come out ahead. Two hundred yards behind and urging their horses to their utmost came tnirtj' of Frcomont's body guard , with drawn sabres , six abreast ; down the lane they fled. Since the late unpleasantness I have seen in our cities mati3' gaudily-dressed military companies , but 1 think the body guard could have outshone them all. They carried two of Colt's d'.agoon re volvers in holsters attached to their sad dles. Every piece of metal was plrtcd. cither gold or silvcrl aim gold braid and cord was used in profusion upon their uniforms. To our ignorant eyes they seemed more like gods than human bo- ings. Many of the ooys shouted : "Law , what pretty men ! " We had a regular stampede for the fence to get a better view of them. Wo never thought of war or battle , but gave them a hearty cheer. Wo all talked at once and wondered who they could be. Many of they boys climbed to tlm lop of the fence and waved their hats in their wild excitement. Every man was at or on thu fun en when tlm mam body of the body guard and Major White's battalion of Irish dragoons charged down the lane , wheeled in line to the fcnco and emptied their revolvers into us. I cannot to this day hold smiling when I remember the surprise and wonder expressed on thu faces of many of our men when they were Itred on Not ono of us had over boon in a light. We had no command given us. But every man grabbed his gun and poured shot and bullets into tlie lane. The yells and oaths could bo heard above tlie ralllo of lire arms. Nothing between us but the rail fence. The federals stayed until they had each emptied both revolvers , many drew their sabres , and with oaths cut at us over the fence. Then they ran to the ravine and reloaded. It seemed but a moment when t'.iuy were again liring on us from the same position , many not four feet from us. Each would raise his revolver to cock it and lire when bringmir it down upon us , was the eausu of their almost invariably liring over us. Little-Johnnie Wiekersham Jrid to this time never made use of a profane word , but , like all tlm rest of us , ho now stood at the fcnco and swoio like an old trooper. Again they left us , this time running west. Ten minutes passed , and wo saw nothing of thorn. Lieutenant Joe Craig then ordered us to form a line for the first time during tlie light , parallel but about lifty feet back from thy "fence , with positive orders for no ono to lire until the command was given. Johnnie Wiek ersham was on the extreme left of thu linu. where ho could suu down the Innu toward the west. Immediately in IIIH front was the gap in the lane before men tioned. Presently wo heard him shout : "They aru coming ! " An ollicor was in advance , and wo distinctly heard him give orders to charge the gap. Ho came with drawn sabro at full gallop directly for it. Against our protests and eomma.uls , cm- phnsi/ed by many o.itlis , Johnnie , Wick- crsliam ran for the gap. Not being ablu to hold his gun "olf-hand" Im knelt on ono knee , iHaoing his elbow on the other , and awaitud their coming. Every man cursed and yulied for him to come back , but lie diil not move. The olliccr came with sword uplifted to strike , when little Johnnie lirud. The bull entered the of- libor's breast , and hu foil from his horse dead. Ton feet behind came the main body with drawn sabres. They were crowded into the gap when tholr loader foil. Thuy cheeked tlmir horses , Boom- ingly , for a moment , not knowing what to do , As soon a.s Johnnie had lire.d the fntal shot ho throw down hi.s gun , hat in air , and yelled and swore liku a mad man. Craig linally ordered us to lire. Johnnie , although immediately between us , was unhurt , wlnlu live federals fell dead in thu gap , and many wounded. After our lire they nu'nin ran to the ra vine , list down tlie fence , formed under the hill , and oumo charging in solid linn upon us , Jolmniu had tied the ollieer'.s liorso and secured thu sword and two line .silver plate.d pistols. In his oxoito- minit Im did not notice that the charge had swept by him and driven us all back into the young oak timber. They tried to ontur after us , but brush and Imllots were too thick. We gavu a yell , and limy scattered back over tlio Held. Some sixteen or twenty started to escape through the gap. Johnnie Wiokurfthain stood in it with a sabre almost as long as himself buckled around him , and a revolver in each hand. When within twenty stups ho opened Hru on them , and for a moinnnt they reigned their her os to a halt. We had then come from cover of thu brush and were firing on them from tlie roar. They halted for only a moment and then charged the boy , onu of them knocking him down wiih a ru- volver. This was the last act of iho light. After tins wo saw nothing more of them. A detail was ordered to clear the lane of dead men and horses. Ot the latter there were a great many. 'I hat night with our wagons ami camp equipage wu started south for Prico'd army. On our arrival ( General Price gave Johnnie Wiokfrsluim a commission as captain , and ordered nil of the boys of the ago of liftcon in the army to report to him. On the return of the nrmy to Springfield his eighty odd boys 'wero uniformed nnd armed , nnd afterward did good service at i'cn Hitlgo. How Chinamen Advertise. Now York Sun ; The great advertising medium of Chinatown is a tall telegraph polo in front of the Wo Kt > o store in Mott street , a few doors from Chatham sqnnro. The polo is about two feet in dhimotor , anil it is always girdled by a bell of ad vertisements written In Chinese charac ters on shoots of yellow , white , or liro- cracker red paper. The girdle is thrco or four feet broad , nnd thus llin available Advertising space is from eighteen to twenty-four square feet. This docs not. sulllco for the nerds of Chinatown , nnd another telegraph polo on tlm opposite side of tlio street , out toward the uornor of Park street , gets part of the business. When the Chinese avail themselves of this advertising medium they nro re minded of the perversity of this western pcoplo in doing ovcrothiug in a way dia metrically different from their time-hon ored oriental method. There is never any doubt nn to the circulation of this advertising medium , lor , as in tlio case of that other post The Lvenlng , nobody claims that it circulates. It stands tliero the year in midyear out nnd tlio people do the circulating. Thus there is no chnnco for hocus pocns. It is impossible that , with their not very exact ideas as to modern western appliances , they may suspect that there is some beneficial in- lluoneo in the mysterious buzzing that is heard among tlio lofty wires. Tlio prohi bition , "J'ost no Hills , " does not appeared od the polo. If it is there it is covered up by many thicknesses of "dead ads. " On Sundays , wlien tlio Chinese from nil parts of the city Hock to Chinatown to pick up the week's news concerning their race , each visitor steps up to the polo nnd consults the announcements made thereon. They run largely to for sales , lo lots , and wants When n China man has anything for sale , from a laun dry to a pair of shopsticks , ho pastes an nnnonnceinont on the big lelegrapli polo. Coniparativcly few of them nro able to write the nonces themselves , ' but they know where they can lind scribes who will do it for them in good shape for reasonable pay , The notice are almost invariable written with admirable neat ness , and without display. No cuts are inserted. Tliero seems lo bo an under standing lliat no man shall occupy moro of the common space than a reasonable setting forth of his announcement re quires. Among tlie new advertisements of yes terday were the announcements , made in good commercial Cantonese , that a hum- dry in Harlem , with a well established Molican custom , could bo purchased at a reasonable figure by applying on the promises , and that a merchant of China town had just opened a now importation of a Chinese edible , for tlio name of which the intelligent resident ot that quarter who translated for the reporter could find no English cqu ivalcnl.
