Philadelphia Press : "Hotbeds of flirtation" expresses a very usual opin ion of co-educational schools. As si matter of fact it is curious to note the wide dilTercnco in the relation of the Boxes that exist indifferent institutions , There may or may not bo schools when the students llirt ; there certainly art bchools whore it is not at all unusual for them to fall in love , contract en gagements , and in duo time get mar ried. One instance is given whore ai many as 40 per cent of n certain class paired oil1 to take life's journey to gether after passing the preliminary barriers of deferential and integral calculus in company , and these mar riages are said to have turned out well , The mingled rivalry and good-fellow- ehip of the class-room seemed to ylvt good opportunity for that full anil fair acquaintance which ought to pre cede matrimony , bettor opportunities probably than are offered by tlio more guarded intorcouruo wich society sanc tions. Young men and young women students become good comrades and they btay good comrades , understand ing one another thoroughly after thej have settled down to life's business to golber. Such cases as these are not however , typical. A great majority o the co-educational colleges are mori nftor the pattern of Boston university where , as ono might expect , porhape from the non-marrying reputation o the Hub , no attachment , no especial 1 ; intimate intercourse , not the fainton suspicion of u flirtation between stu dents of the opposite sexes has bee ; known since the foundation of tli bchool. Tlio after-fortune of over , Ktudont is accurately known throng1 the full records kept by the grnduntiii ; classes ; and a year or two ago the enl marriage that had , within the annul of the college , taken place between ex fitudonts was that of n daughter of th late Bishop Gilbert Haven , whose ai quuintanco with the man who bccnm her husband was formed after her s > ut cessful graduation.

Coon , a young republican leader and lawyer , and there have never been so many disappointed and blue young men in this part of the state as to-night. In every town in which Kellio spoke and canvassed during her recent campaign she made scores of admirers. Some of them became very do voted as the canvass progressed , and worked like beavers for her at the polls all day on Tuesday. Mr. Coon , although a strong Fred Grant man and republican , was the very first to offer his services to Miss Cook , and thev having been accepted , ho throw himself heart and soul into her canvass. Ho gave up his law practice for nearly a month , and worked day and night for the fair young candidate. Ho was her confidential adviser , and there's no knowing how many nights ho spent in riding over lonely county roads in her interest. While there arc several hundred disappointed young democrats and some republicans throughout the country because of Miss Nellie's deter mination to wed , there is none to dispute Mr. Cook's claim to recognition and favor.and everyone hero is offering con- gratolations. The date of the marriage ib not yet announced. A Strniio Story. Ono day. tit hrcnkfiiht , Archbishop Whalely told a remarkable felory of u woman who married , when young , ti tol- dier. and was wrecked with him on the coast of India. All the crow and pnssun- gors were supposed to have been lost , except this ono woman and an ofllcor , wlio saved her. She was very beauti ful , and ho educated and married her. In time hho became a widow , and re turned to England. IIo had left her all his inoncv.and bho was well received by her relations , , being still very charming. Ono day her maid told her bho was go ing to be married to a discharged bol- dior. The mihtrcbs approvcd.nnd asked to MJO him. When lie was introduced , after looking btcadily tit him for some minuted , bho wont up and fetched a shawl. "Do you know that bhawlV" bho a.-kcd. "Yes"ho replied , "I gave it to my wife when wo wore married. " "I am your wife ! " who exclaimed. She ' tool'him back , and ho drank away all his senses and her fortune , and finally died , after making her life miserable. CiirloHitlcH of CourlHlilp. Chicago Tribune : A California miner , having amassed quite a fortune , was re turning by ship to Now York to revisit old friends and to find himself a wifo. A young woman on board the ship , serv ing in the capacity of nursery governess to the family of a merchant on board , pleased him much by her neat and modont appearance. IIo therefore intro duced himself ono day , mid broke the ice of his purpose with one reckless plunge : "Madam , my name is , my parents and family reside in Now Hampshire ; 1 have property amounting to 9200,000 , and expect to engage in businesb in .

More shrewd still was the young lady and more daring who told her ad mirer that she was a mind reader , and could read what was going on in his mind at that moment ; that ho wanted to propose to her , but did not know how- to do it , which , of course , relieved the young man from his enibarrassmontpor- mancntly. A very bashful man having succeeded in winning a wife , nlady relative teased him to tell her how ho over plucked up courage enough to propose. "Now , tell the truth , N , " said she ; "did not the lady have to do the court ing for you ? " "N-no. " answered the - . gentleman ; "but 1 own she smoothed over the hard places forme. " And this seems to bo the ladies' mis sion in courtship to binooth over the hard places. Ho Thought She Proposed to Him. Now York Sun ; There is a great deal of fun in every nook and corner of Cor nell university , New York , just now- over an incident which occurred hero this week. At the beginning of every term an alphabetical list of students is issued by the registrar , giving the resi dence of each person enrolled in the university. Occ.ibionally a mistake is found in the list. Several days ago ono of the Sage college ladies , of prepossess ing appearance , in looking over proofs of this year's list of students , detected n slight error in her name , and hastened to the registrar's olllee to correct it. "Are ? " the you engaged just now was first question asked the registrar , who was in blissful ignorance of the lady's mission , and whoso mind evidently was wandering in matrimonial ehanno'ls. "No. indeed,1' replied the gallant offi cial with some little emphasis , his face at the same time becoming the very em bodiment of great expectations and pleasant anticipations of the approach ing leap year. "Well , then , I should like to change my name , " said the fair visitor , witn a bewitching smile on her face. "Oh. you wouldl" gasped the young man , his countenance radient beyond all expression. Anil then the young lady undertook to explain matters more in detail , pinch to the great discomfiture and mortification of the assistant , whoso hopes blossomed , bloomed , and wore blasted in the short bpaco of a minute. An Aged Itrldal Couple. San Francisco Chronicle : Sirs. A. C. Freed , a wealthy relict of Dr. Freed of Kansas City , aged sixty years , and an octogenarian named Hector McLean , engaged in the real estate business , eloped a few days ago and were mar ried in Los Angeles. The woman is worth about $100,000 and McLean has nothing. The widow married him under the belief that ho was wealthy. Ho gave as a bridal present a $40.000 check , signed by himself , which , it is needless to say , is worthless. The couple returned to-day and will go to housekeeping in the palatial homo of the wifo. MarriiiKCH With JnimncKo Women.

" A Halo ol' Itomniicc. Now York Star : There is a halo of romance over the marriage of the niece of the late President Arthur , Miss Ellen Bolts , of Savannah , to Mr. J. II. Bluikic. The excitement of the earth quake injured her eyes so much that nn oculist declared there was a certainty of her losing her sight. She immed iately sent word to Mr. Ulaikie , who was in Scotland , releasing him from the engagement. Ho refused to accept it , and came hero by the next steamer to urge nil imincdinlc marriiige. Tins ex pression of his fidelity produced a ner vous reaction in Miss Bolts system which ended in the restoralion of her eyesight. The young couple go to Scotland next month. Tlio MnrHaKO Foo.

"I leuve that to the gentleman , " replied the divine. "It is $5 , $10 and sometimes more when the groom feels especially generous. " "I'll give you $ 'i and that's all I can afford , " was the merchants final offer , to which the clergyman said : "All right , " and the time for the ceremony was fixed. At the appointed hour the man presented his intended at the parsonage , but be fore the trying ceremony was begun as tonished the minister by guying : My woman here is pretty sharp tit a bargain , and she thinks $2.60 is enough for this job.

DID A CURSE REST UPON HIM ? The Strnngo Tricks Nature Played nt the Homo of Jas. O. Stevenson. A FAMILY OF CURIOUS FREAKS. A Thrcc-IjORRCil I < ninh , a Onc-Karcil Colt , a Tlircc-llorncd Call' , and a jCRKCil Hey A Supply for a Dime Museum. "Tho old adage that "lightning never strikes twice in the same place" is at last disprovcn , providing the story of a farm laborer named George Evans , who for the past week has been stayincr at the St. James hotel in this city , is true. Evans bears the reputation of honesty , and while bis tale is a strange ono , there is no reason to doubt its possibil ity. His story is as follows : Evans stated last night to a Br.K ro- uorter that for the past three years he has been employed by Mr. James Q. Stevenson , a well-to-do farmer living in Iowa , about seventeen miles south o : Council Bluffs. During that time nature has dealt unkindly with his formoi employer , and the rules of generation have been most culpably disobeyed in- asmucn as no less than four freaks am' possible candidates for dime iiur-eim fame , have first drawn breath on his farm. During the spring of 1885 a laml was born having only thrco legs. It was a healthy animal and straightway became a great favorite with Mr. Steven son's children and was given tlio ox- aulted position of the family pet bj unanimous consent. The animal , now i full grown sheep , bobbles around on his two front and ono hind leg in a state o perpetual enjoyment. Even his wool uj ) to the present time , has been con Hidered sacred and ho will not bo sheared until ho is three years of ago. During the following summer a grev mare was delivered of a foal , wcil formed with the exception that nature had forgotten to supply her with but ono car. The hide ono the right side of the head was as smootly drawn as on the body and there was no hole to oven mark the spot where that ear should be. While this coincidence was the subject of considerable remark in the neighbor hood , nothing particular evolved from it except the giving of a nick-name to Mr. Stevenson , who to this day is known bv the sobrioquet of ' ' 01101-111111)011 Steve. " But the biiper.ititioubly inclined , in the neighborhood found renewed causedur ing the following fall , for announcing their belief that a curse rested upon the house of Stevenson. This now fire brand which caused the idiotic wisdom of be lievers in things supernatural , to loudly explode and added many now converts to their ranks , was the birth of u calf during the spring of the present year which shortly after developed into u freak of the first magnitude by the discovery that it had I thrco distinct horns. The third i horn was exactly in the middle of the i forehead and grow just below the eyes. After a time the gossip subsided , but a new impetus was given to scandal mongers eight weeks ago , to continue | them in their previous opinions and openly expressed belief in the interfer ence of supernatural powers to cause their neighbor humiliation and suffer ing. This event was nothing more nor : less than the birth of a male infant having but ono leg. The child lived 1 but a few hours and was buried on the farm. The tongues of the gonsjps wagged I . furiously , and it was even intimated 1 that Mr. Stevenson was receiving pun ishment at the hands of God for crimes committed in the past. Finally ono old 1 tea table gossip felt herself called upon to inform "Sister Stevenson" that a curse rested upon the homo ol f her husband , and so worked upon 1 the fears of the lady , who wiib in : i a most delicate state of health , as to J3.CO for ladles' fine Ctirneoa kid hoes , B , C , D , E and E E widths , C.

Notwithstanding the near approach of win ter , when deals in realty and building opera tions arc supposed to cease for a while , the business in Onmlia continues steady and the cold weather makes perceptible difference so far as dickering in dirt is concerned. Of course , it is to bo expected that there would bo little or no building done , and yet permits were issued last week aggregating over t-50,000. I Architects and contractors all express the opinion dint the building operations during I the year 1S8S will far exceed these of 16b7. The great trouble this yc.ir has been the , scarcity of competent workmen. Excellent wages have been paid and there has been no ! application from good men to obtain work refused. Skilled mechanics have boon In great demand , and there has been an abundance - ance of work for the common laborer It is estimated that builders are at least fsoo.OOU behind their contrats , and work will bo re- sumcd at the earliest possible day next spring , If the winter should prove a mild ono great progress will bo jniuiu during the season. The great present need is more small rot- tages which can bo rented at from f 15 to f25 per month. Such homes arc very scarce and the attention of invcstois is particularly called to this fact. The attention of outside mechanics is. also requested. Let them thor- oughly investigate the truth of the ubovo statement and then como to Omaha and make your homo hero.
