For two yours ho baa courted Mltss Rebecca Fnxton , Karraer Pnxton'H second daugh ter , turn the gossips of tbo neighborhood told around that the young couple were to bo married in Juno. Young Goodrich Is a great lever of fun nnd a locally notorious practical joker. I to own * n tnmo fox , and before daylight ono pleasant Sunday morning in January ho led the fox across lots over to Farmer Paxton's place. With his pot tit his hcolH yuung Goodrich took a couple of turna around tbo farm buildings of his prospective fatbor-ln-luw , crooked about tbo meadow a upoll , and than strotlo up to tbo church , around which bo led the fox sovcn or citfht times in circles of varying hlx.cs. After that ho took bis tnnib Uoynurd in bis arms nnd struck for homo over tbo snowy Holds. Sorvlres wcro hold in tbo church at 100 : ! ! that forenoon , and Farmer Fax ton and all MB folks attended. At 11 o'clock young Quodrlch lot the farmer's hounds loose nnd put them on tbo fox's trade All three wont bounding and yelping uround the barn , and tbo practical joker hid In a trrovo to watuli the ollcct.

Soon tbo hounds reached the end of the track , lost the scent , and became confused. About that tlmo Farmer Paxton , who had recognized the voices ofhia tlogB , rushed from tbo church , drove the dogs homo nnd shut them up. lie was very anpry to think that somuono had med dled with his hounds , and ho wont to work that afternoon to Ibid out who had turned thorn loose. Within a week ho traced the whole thing out , and ho gave young Goodrich a picco of his mind. saing that no wicked breaker of tbo Lord's day could ever bo a son-in-law o hi * , and ordering uoourlch not to visit at his house any moro. Goodrich said that any man who allowed himself to got mad at a llttlo joke like that wasn't worthy of u son-in-law. Farmer Paxton left in a state of mind. Goodrich played another practi cal joke on Mr. Paxton. lie got Ira Snyder to give a lodging boo , and while Mr. Paxton was at it , Goodrich spout the afternoon with Rebecca. Goodrich played two moro practical jokes on Re becca's father. There was an auction on the farm of Johlol A.

Tournaments are in progress gross everywhere. The loading club In Philadelphia are trying to conquer their old enemy nnd four times cham pion , the Hamilton club. At Worcester the rivals are at it for fame and tricks. Young's hotel in 'Boston was last week the econo of a festive dinner , given to the clubs that had just finished the state tourney at whist , billiards and pool. The Press club in Boston bad a hot fight of it , until the knights of the quill bad to acknowledge that they could not "boat" the Boston Herald. The New York Tribune has lately noticed Bovornl tourneys among college clubs , and tbo Milwaukee Sentinel chronicles the usual winter hunt fur the scalps ol western whist clubs among each other. lixit there Is on foot a tourney which will eclipse them all. The Milwaukee whist club , the largest In this country , has issued invitations to all clubs Inter ested In whist to meet at Milwaukee dur ing the week beginning April 15. All the big clubs have accented , and unless their host , the Milwaukee whist club , belles Its reputation for hospitality , they will have n right royal tlmo. Eugene S. Elliott , the secretary , has worked like a beaver , and has assurances that the tourney will bo an immense euccess , lie oven ox poets some of the foreign lights of tbo whist world , per haps the old war horse , Cavendish him- BOlf. BOlf.While While tbo tournament playing will , of course , bo a prominent fonturo at the congress , it will not bo the only busi ness on hand , The Milwaukee club will appoint a committee to draw up a code o ! laws moro suited to tbo peculiarities 01 tno American game tnaii tno icngllsn code now in use. N. B. Trlst ot Now Orleans , a well known writer on the game nnd tbo inventor ot the system of so-called American leads , has been named as ono ; R. P. Foster as another , nnd the third will probably bo T. Schwartz of Chicago. The now cede will bo acted on by the delegates from all the clubs and will probably bo the future authority for America. The results of the congress are to bo preserved in the form of an association of whist clubs , those joining binding themselves to adopt tbo rules and regu lations there agreed upon. This associ ation will elect olllcors and hold annual meetings in various cities after the fashion of the atblotlo unions. , Bo sure and use Mrs. Wlnslow's Soothing Syrup for your children whllo teething , SJ5 ccuU a bottle , Couldn't L'rat the liiHiirancc , "Pierrot had the laugh turned against him by that llttlo trick ho tried to play on tbo fire-insurance company.

Iowa Homestead : The railroad com- nissloncrs of Iowa last week rendered a decision in the case of tbo W..rincbngo ' county farmers' alliance upr.inst the dinnoapolls vSt St. Louis nvilwny , sus taining the claim of tbo alliance to erect coal sheds on the company's grounds at forest Ulty. The facts in the case were hose ! For a number of years past the county alliance has been purchasing coal jy thu car load at the Angus mines and ransportintr it ever the Minneapolis & St. Louis railroad to Forest Citywhore , or lack of sidetrack facilities , they uivo been compelled to unload nnd dls- irihuto tbo coal from the cai-H , while other dealers in coal at that point have jcon furnished with room on the siding 'or coal bouses and facilities for un- oullng : directly into thorn. The til- lance mndo application to W. n. Trues- dale , the receiver of tbo road at Minne apolis , for permission to erect conlshods ind were refused on the ground that tboy were selling nnd Intended to sell coal at cost , to the injury of other deal ers. The commissioners quote section 4 of the act of the Twenty-second general assembly , which makes it unlawful for any common carrier "to subject any particular person , company , firm , cor poration or locality , or any particular description of traflic to any prejudice or disadvantage whatsoever , " and hold that the right of the company to con trol its station grounds and sidings n subject to the right of the public ; that station facilities are for tbo use of the public as well as tbo carrier , and that Llicrlatter cannot discriminate in grantIng - Ing privileges with respect to them ; that having granted the right to erect coal houses to other dealers , its refusal to grant like facilities to the Wlnnebago County farmers' alliance is an unjust discrimination ngninst It and a violation of tbo statute. Abundant authority sus taining the decision is citedund tbo road is ordorcd to assign the alliance room on the sldo track for its coal sheds within fifteen days. The tlmo was in Iowa when equal facilities were a matter of favor for which shippers must plead and bog , and which they could only secure by "stand- Ing in. " That time , wo are glad to say , has gone bv. They are now a matter of right , and are not to bo granted or re fused at please. Not only are they a matter of right , and nronot to bo granted or refused at pleasure. Not only are they a matter of right , but efllciont executive power has been devised to enforce the right , quickly nnd economically. Under the Iowa system , railroads have , in a great measure ceased to bo the arbiters of commerce and of the fate of every man engaged in it , nnd are becoming what they of right ought to bo an im partial and effective Instrument of com merce. The system has boon built wlsolj and Is every day furnishing its own justi fication to the people. Do Witt's Llttlo Early Utsera ; bestlittlo pills for dyspepsia , sour stomach , bad breath.

Senator McJlillan of Michigan was there by proxy. The ubjoct discussed was , "What has the n-esent administration done for the por- .ion . of the United States represented , hat Is , the northwest , and will it bo advisable for the republican party to ro- nominate President Harrison. " Each senator gave his views on the subject , uid as tbo majority present were free coinage of silver men , the sum .otal was not encouraging for Mr. Harrison. The result of the moot- ng was finally that Senator Plumb and Alexander Mackenzie should pro ceed to Washington and cull a confer ence of absent northwestern senators. Jenco the second conference took place lore this week , and there were present Senators Phnnb , Kansas ; Paddock , No- H-nsku ; Hanubrough , North Dakota ; Davis , Minnesota , and Alexander Mac kenzie of North Dakota.

A few days ago the friends of a promi nent society woman were startled uy tbo report thntsho was dangerously 111 , says the Louisville Commercial. The Town Talker , in sneaking of her illness to a particular friend of tbo lady , brought out tlio cause of the illness. She Is allowed by her husband so much a mouth for drosses. During the last social season - son she bought so many hand some ball costumes thnthorallowancoonly scorned oniy a drop in the bucket toward paying for thorn. Her costumes attracted BO much attention that her vanity was ex cited and she endeavored , with each succeeding dress , to surpass tbo Inst. This she succeeded In doing. Every action must have a corresponding reac tion. Her pleasure , caused by being tbo best dressed woman in Louisville , has given place to her sorrow'caused by her having the largest millinery bills of any woman in Louisville. The bills were sent to her amounting to $1,1200 She Immediately retired to her bod. Doctors were sent for , but for n week she con tinued to grow worse. Her husb.ind be came alarmed , and told her that if she would just got well ho would do anything for hor. She said she could not. At last , In despair , she told him if ho would just pay her hill and forgive her she wouhl try and got well. Ho promised. Ho paid the bill. From that moment she began to recuperate , and In a few days was almost entirely well. She then confessed to her husband , who forgave hor. She has promised to live within her allowance , which bo bus increased.

Pittsburg Dispatch : When the At lantic express arrived yesterday morn ing among the few passengers who alighted hero was a couple who seemed to bo in a great hurry to got off. The pair alighted from different sections of tbo train and were apparently strangers for each wont by different way * On3 was a young woman stylishly dressed , whoso bearing indicated refinement. She was about twenty-three years of ago , tall nnd god looking , as far as could bo discerned through the heavy veil which partially concealed her features. On alighting from the train she walked into the hall of the depot and passed swiftly through to the , poarch boyond. The other was a man heavy sot and with coarse features , intensified by the shining black hat which ho carried jauntily on ono sldo of his head. A diamond pin blazed from his crimson necktie only partly visible from out his closely fitting black coat , which ex pose to view the ends of a pair of checkered trousers and tlio No. 12 shoos of as shady-looking colored man as ever came In on n trnip. Grasping a couple of gripsacks in each hand ho passed out through the exit and reached the porch. In another moment the soft , yielding form of the young girl was clasped in that of the obony-huod character ; his heavy lips were brought into contact with her rosy cheek , a few remarks quickly exchanged , and tbo ill-sorted pair walked quickly away and. disap peared from view.

It Is often said that ronmnco is shocked at the idea of a mother finding n husband for her daughter , writes Amelia K. Barr in the Ladles' ' Homo Journal , but delicacy is equally shocked at u young girl hunting a husband en tirely by herself. Mother and homo \k \ before o N.K/AIRBANK&CO. throw a charm and a refinement around such efforts , and no goodyoung man will refuse to acknowledge the wisdom and respectability of the English custom that "a wife is to bo uourtod on her father's hearthstone. " It is very onsy to resent this supposed necessity of guarding girl ish innoconcy , hut it 'is a necessity in snltq of all protestations to the contrary. It , indeed , the young are capable of uolf- dircction , then the mothers are a mis take , and nil that holy writ and wise men liavo said , is false nnd antiquated , and hohlnd the youth of this generation. But surely a mother who has miulo all the conditions of her daughter's life for eighteen years , may at least advise her child on the malting other nuirringonnd her homo. For , if she bo a good mother she will always consider thnt within duo limits a marriageable daughter should bo intrusted with her own destiny. She will know that it la ono of the secrets of wise management to manage as llttlo as possible , and never to interfere in tilings ot small moment.

The colored "Four Hundred" of Media , Pa. , were all out to the Friday night social at Brondhead's hall. There was nn odor ot franglpanni , jockey club and bay rum , singly and combined , through the blp room. Much Interest was manifested in this gathering of the colored race because of the rumpus kicked up about it at the Camboll A. M. E.church , says the Phiadolphia Record. Tlio colored population Is "getting re ligion , " and at the revival mooting the ball came in fora hot slmro of attention. Ono earnest brother prayed that God would strike the dancers dead with his all-poworful thunder , another that the iloor might tumble in With the weight of wickedness , and still another that the Johnstown Hood might "reconvene" nnd swallow up dnnco-houso nnd all. "When another aged brother hoped aloud that the loadorof thn grand mnrch might see the handwriting on the wall In letters of lire , there was a deathly silence , and all but a young colored attorney , the Ward McAllister of the race in Media , turned ashy pale. But the ball wont on regardless of the action of the church. The dressing of the women was the most gorgeous overseen seen at a Media ball , nnd the harmony between the rainbow colors of the satins and other things and the various complexions ot the buds and belles , gave a bewitching effect that cannot bo appreciated' except by observation.

The fiddles and banjos ceased , ladies 'nintod und were carried out , and there was a deathlike silence , broken only by the prayers of the improvised Salvation army.
