HUSBAND TO TWO SISTERS

Two Aristocratic Ladies turn Mormons They Flee with a Gay Lieutenant to Salt lata City. ,w

About three months ago, the fashionable circles of Berlin, Prussia, were startlod with the news that two daughters of a wealthy and retired banker, named Stauffenburg, had eloped with a First Lieutenant of the Prussian Grenadier Guards, named Bernhard von Haffton that the two wayward girls had taken a large sum belonging to thoir father, and that they had, with raro cynicism, informed the latter that they wero"both in love with the gallant Lieutenant, and that at Salt Lake City, among the Ntormons» they would seek a now nomo with him. and become.his WlVes. This extraordinary affair created a most profound sensation in the Gorman Empire, and the unfortunate father was visited in the course of the next few days, after the startling rumor had been carried from mouth to mouth in Berlin, by numerous newsier reporters, to who^n, not without esltatlon, he made the following curious statement:

FA THE FATHER'S STORY. I am a widower, and now sixty-two years old. was formerly in the banking business on Lelpziger Strasse, and retlrod to privato lifo with enough to live comfortatIy on in the year 1807. My wile died in 1809. Wo bad two children, both daughters—Adele, twen-ty-lour yoars old, and Ida, twenty-one. They were considered very gooa-look-ing, and I spared no pains to have them •well-educated. They went at first to the Institution of the Misses Bergheim, in this city, and afterwards finished their education at the Female Seminary at Dresden. Tho testimonials they received from their teachers were eulogistic in tho highest degree when my poor wife introduced the two girls into society, in 1«7, they were generally admired for their boauty, their graces and accomplishments. In 1868, Adele made the acquaintance of young Herr Von Haflten, who was then a Second Lieutenant in tho royal army, alul from thattimo forward I date all tbe misfortunes which have recently befallen my now desolated household. The Lloutonant was A HANDSOME, roMSTTED VorNH MAN. "Unlike most of his comrades, he was highly educated, and he was a little crazy on the subjoct of woman's rights. At any rato he would always talk about It, and many times ho ruffled my temper by asserting that the timo would 1* when women would vote just ns men do fit political elections. As if I know no better. But, letthat pnss. If tho Lioutenantdld not convluco me, ho certainly uiado a deep Improssion upon tho minds of my two poor daughters. Adele fell In love with him and I believe Ida liked him better than she should have dono. Ho was a daily visitor at our house, and tho girls liked nothing better than to sit with him ki the parlor and talk soft nonsense to him Oh 1 the tool I was not to put him out, and forbid him the house at tho time. When tbe war ot 1870 broke out, the Lieutenant had to go with his regiment to France, and his departure almost seemed to break the hearts of my two poor girls. I must say that ho fought bravely. At Gravelotte, he was sorely wounded, and when ho returned here,"in June, 1871, tho Order o£ the Iron Cross adorned his broast. Oh I with what warmth mv daughters received him! They both kissed him, much to my disgust, crying at the time for Joy. Tho lormer Intimacy was renewed, and It dally grew

FROM BAD TO WORSB.

Finally, I hud a serious conversation on the subject with my daughter Adole, and asked her II she would like to marry the Lieutenant. She blushed, and cast down her eye®, and then confessed it was tho dearest wish of her heart of hearts. I then saw the Lieu* tehant, and told him that if he wished to have eldest girl he was welcome to her. I had money enough for ns all and people having* legun to talk about the strange inlimacv between bim and nfy two daughters, 'I wanted to put a •top to further nonsense. "The Lieutenant received uuv communication seemingly most rapturously, and hastened out of tbe room exclaiming that ha would fold hhi sweeteart to his breast. He remained ong time in the parlor with Adele, and in tne evening ho went out with her and Ida. Where tb»v went I do not know, b*r I Have Iearut since that was to the lecture of that Infernal Mormon emissary, christian Hansen, who %M six months ago arrttrted at Rowtook, and treated to SS lashea on the bare haok, and to ©on floe me at on bread and water fbr 30 hours. The insidious appeals or this Mormon scoundrel must hare turned the Lieutenant's head and driven tmy poor two girls mad. It appears .that Ida loved bim

Ialter,

ist as ardently as Adele, and that the strange to say, was no* st all jealous of her younger sister, «hOt the Lieutenant was only too glad

to secure tbe affections of both girls. Alas! alas! to cut matters short, lour days ago, when 1 carte downio fhe morning to the breakfast room, We servant girl rashed in with her hair al

-rooaa. TO Jne

TIIE FIRST NOLQJRNIS AS FOLLOWS: DEAR ATHER: I must leave you. I love Bernbard Von Haflten better than my life, and Ida loves him equally well. He goes witi^as to the New World where tberfc is nothlngin the way of our double union.. You read of the Count Von Gleichen and his two wives? land Ida will ho as happy with Bernhard as the chivalrous Count was with tbem. ADELE.'

The other was of a somewhat different character. It was from Ida, and read as follows: «J

THI? SECOND.

ATHER: Adele has told me what you are going to do. Do not try to frustrate our will. It would do no good. We ard inflexibly resolved to take this step, which alone will secure our and Bernhard's happiness. We take with us money mother left to us. I took the bonds belongihg to us from your safe. "IDA."

These bonds," continued poor Herr Stauffenberg, "were worth about twenty thousand dollars but I would not have cared for their loss could I have saved my girls from the rain which is sure to overtake them."

The poor father stated, in conclusion, that he sent a detective after tbe girls to Bremen). But that the man had returned without accomplishing anything, the two daughters of Herr Stauffenberg being of age, and the funds which they took along rightfully belonged to them.

The fugitives are now undoubtedly safe at Salt Lake City, or in some other Mormon town. The only consequence which the affair had in Prussia was, that Lieutenant Von Haflten was cashiered and struck from Knights of the

Iron Cross.

&IIE WOULDUPT MABkY A MECHANIC. A young man commenced visiting a young lady, and seemed to be well pleased. One evening he called when It was quite late, which led the lady to inquire where he had been.

I had to work to-night."

!?&

What do you work, for a living?" she Inquired In astonishment. Certainly." replied the ytfting man,

I am a mechanic." I dislike the name of a mechanic," and she turned up her pretty noso.

That was tbe last time that yoang man visited that young lady. He is now a wealthy man, and has one of the nicest women in the country for a wife.

Tho lady who disliked the name of a mechanic is now the wife of a miserable fool—a regular vagrant about grogshops— and the soft, verdant, miserable girl is obliged to take in washing to support herself and children.

You dislike tbe name of a mechanic, eb ?—you whose brothers are but welldressed loafers. We pity any girl who is so verdant, so soft, as to think less ol a man for being a mechanic—one ol God's noblemen, a most dignified and honored personage of heaven's creatures.

Beware, young ladies, how yeu treat young men who work for a living, for you may one day be a menial to one ol them yourself.

Far better to discharge the well-fed

Erazenesswith

auper, all bis rings, jewelry, and pomposity, and take to your affections the callous-handed, industrious mechanic.

Thousands have bitterly repented their folly who have turned their backs to honesty. A few years have taught them a severe lesson.

A dairyman by the name of Jones, who lives in Lorain Co., Ohio, made a discovery one day, that promised to put a stop to the annoyance of cows switching their tails, at milking time, as they are wont to do when flies are plenty. Like all great inventions this had'the merit of simplicity. It consisted in tying the cow's tail to the milker's foot-strap. It succeeded so well at first that "Mr. Jones thought he would get the invention patented and thereby secure a fortune. But "the cow with crumpled horn," finding the files were Inflicting a personal injury on her while she was without hdr usual means of dofence, suddenly gave a jump, which unset both the pail and the milker. A local papdr says at this stato ol proceedings, tne cow stopped for a moment, but In that time our h6ro had gained his feet: a moment after ho was seen with his hand on the hip of tho cow making the tour of the flsrtnyard with prodigious hops on one foot, the other lSeing suspended by the boot strap which was still attftcned to tho cow's tail. At every hop he would ejaculato "so boss, so boss, hut "boss" didn't "so" worth a cent, until, almost used up, tho boot attachment suddenly broke, and Mr. Jones was free. He returned to tho house a wiser if not a sadder man, and so far as we know has never repeated his novel experiment.

He had figured for some time as the Governor of La Hoquette. It is morally certain that he was cogni»a«t,of some ot |Me massacres, althpagh the evidence against him was altogether indirector circumstantial. Yet, assuming his guilt, the treatment he experienced since he fell into the hands of tbe Versaillais reminds oiiC Of the cat playing with tbe mouse rather than a stroke from the sword of justice. Early in the year he was brought to trial for the murder of the hostages. He escaped with life, but was condemned to perpetual imprisonment, with hard labor. In the beginning of March ho was on trial again for the' assassination ot the eendarmerie in the Rne Ilaxo. Then, doubtless, he foresaw his fate.

Toe government was very unlikely to try a man in his position a second time, unless it counted pretty confidently on a capital conviction. At the first trial he was a man full of vigor and spirits, spoke with voluble eloquence, and bore himself almost with audacity. At the second he was wan, emnacipated and utterly broken his nerve was shattered he burst into sobs and tears when he attempted to address the court. The court was in a somewhat sanguinary mood. About a score of prisoners were sentenced to death, Francois—who had. filled the place of honor and danger in the dock —among the rest. It is now about four months since the unhappy man was condemned, and althongh the bitterness ot death may have long been past with him, yet It is more likely that hope survived to the last in a nature like his, which wap originally buoyant and sanguine. Few who read the jroce« or heartl the trial will be disposed to dispute the justice of the sentence of death but the court martial said nothing about tbe slow torture with which the Mibistrv Of Justice has been pleased to prelude his execution.

PROFESSIONAL LIFE IN NEW YORK. The number of lawyers in New York is variously estimated at from four to seven thousand. It is sometimes said that there isone lawyer to every hundred inhabitants if so how can they live One of the first counselors of the city said to mo, a few days ago, "there are about four thousand law-

ers in the city, five hundred of these all the important business and the most lucrative cases are confined to fifty of these." If this be true, and there is little reason to doubt it, why do so many students enter the legal profession The answer given here is that law requires little capital. No young man can now begin business, as a merchant, unless he iS wealthy. A man needs a small fortrine to be able to rent one room on Broadway. A young lawyer can make business if .he is enterprising and popular in his manners. Most business men employ attorneys to make all such papers as country merchants Write for themselves. The sale of real estate employs many lawyers in loosing up titles and making deeds. Sti 11 it is very difficult lor a young practitioner to earn, for some years, more than a meagre support for himself he cannot enter into family relations. Tbe effect of such a life is patent to all.

The physicians rank next to the law yers in numbers but they can hardly amount to more than a thousand.— They fall rtiore readily into practice than lawyers still only one in a hundred becomes widely known very few become rich from their professional income. The ministers are last but not least in this enumeration. I do not know the number of churches in New York but I suppose they cannot exceed four hundred. These are but partly filled on the Sabbath, A few eminent preachers, ten perhaps, have crowded houses: tho rest preach to two or three hundred headers. I have been told that about one in ten of tho population attend church. The Sabbath is becoming a day ol amusement. Qiti*ens visit the Park more on that day than on any other. Pleasure and recreation are more earnestly sought, at all times, than spiritual culture. The mini8ters,jtherefore have a hard field of labor but it is quite as respectable, and, probably, inoro remunerative than tho professions of law and medicine.—(College Hecord.

CASTA LINE FOR YOURSELt. A young man stood listlessly watching some anglers on a bridge. Ho was poor and dejected. At last, approach fng a basket filled with wholesome looking fish, he sighed

If now I had these I would be happy. I could sell them at a fair price, and boy me food and lodgings." "I will give you just as many and just as good fisb," said tho owner, who chanced to overhear his words, "if you will do me a trifling favor."

And what is that?"asked the other

6*^On?y

to attend this lino till I come

back, I wish to go on a short errand." The proposal was gladly accepted. The old man was gone so long that the young man began to bo impatient. Meanwhile, tbe hungry fish snapped greedily st the batted hook, and the young man lost all his depression in the excitement of pulling them in and when tbe owner of tbe line returned, he bad caught a large number. Counting out from them as many as wore in the basket, and presenting them to the young man the old fisherman said:

I fulfill my promise from the fish you have caught, to teach you whenever you see others earning what vou need, to waste no time In fruitless wishing, bnt cast a line for yourself." m:fr-

flying through the air fr6m one unstable poinf to another. There is a certain degree (kjBXCtPfcBient attendant upon the reckless daring which some men inherit from nature., which showmen well understand, and which they inevitably turn to a profitable account. The Introduction of thetrapege and the variety of performances to wnich it has given rise, has been the delight of exhibitors, and the announcement of trapeze aots is certain to attract an assemblage anxious to witness the advertised feats, and who watch breathlessly for undertakings they are half afraid to contemplate. No one understands this better than Barnum, and no one caters with better or more reckless taste to the public craving. He has introduced in his show a trapeze performance beyond comparison with any ever before undertaken in a circus, and though its details have been arranged almost beyond the possibility of an accident, yet an accident occurred yesterday, which at first promised the most serious results.

Mr. Fred Lasselle and Mr. Wm. Millson were on the trapeze and in prepation for the dangerous feat known as the "Leap for Life," a feat beyond the accomplishment of ordinary trapeze performers, and one requiring more than ordinary coolness and nerve. The danger lies in the swing from the trapeze to a hanging rope, some distance from the trapeze bar. The order is for Laselle to spring first and for Millson to follow him from a bar forty feet from the ground.

Yesterday morning the act was on and every thing was in re adiness. Mr. Lasselle was about making his leap, when he heard a craoking above him, and turning, disengaged one hand, still holding the bar with the other. About seven feet above him was was Millson, and under him, holding the rope to which he was to spring, stood Mr. George North. Mr. Laselle heard the cracking over hia head and forebore to jump. In an instant the whole apparatus gave way, precipitating Millson and Laselle to the ground, the whole mechanism falling upon North. Laselle fell upon his feet and is uninjured Millson sustained injuries in his back and on bis left side, but will soon be ready for duty. North is the more seriously wounded. The fifth rib on the left side is broken, and it is feared he has suffered some internal hurt. Last flight the wounded men, who are stopping at the Everett House were doing

HOW CANDIES ARE MADE. Wouldn't you like to go with me to that mysterious land of sweets where all the candy comes from

I suppose you imagine it to be some exquisite, iairy-like place, where little elves measure, concoct, mix, stir up, and roll ol the various kinds of bon bons which you buy in nice boxes. No such thing on the contrary, it is a commonplace-looking building that I shall take you into. And instead of Mries, you will see big men with their sleeves rolled up, working in huge cellars, before immense furnaces where the delicious sweets are melted and mixed.

Think of seeing a brawny armed man rolling a "chunk" of soft caqdy into a stick two or three feet long, ornamenting it with stripes of different colored candy, and at last cutting it into lengths to sell for a penny.

It is wonderful how much work is expended on little things. Gum drops and cordial drops of various kinds are all formed in molds. Perhaps you have wondered how the delicious drop of pear or pine-apule essence gets into the center of a cordial drop. It is thus: when tho sugar is a beautiful, clear liquid, like water, and ready to come up, they mix it with some of the essenco, and pour it into the molds.

Tbe sugar at once crystalizes, and becothes bard and white the essence does not crystalize, but remains in the middle ot the sugar crystal.

Flat candies, like hearts, crosses, dcc., are cut out of thin sugar dough, as you have seen biscuit cut from flour dough. Some kinds are pressed into shape, while soft, by rollers with figures or words on them, which figures of course are Impressed upon tho candy.

It takes many men to make the can.dies that are sold iu this one building, and it takes thirty-five girls to sell them. Yon would Taney that a good maiiv choice sweets would find their w:avbetween the lips of these thirty-five girls but their employer Is a wise man and ho takes pains to euro his clerks of that desire tbe first thing. This is how he does It. When a new clerk comes to him, he gives her cordial leave to eat as much as she wishes. Well, girls are all fond of sweets, and tbe now band is sure to stuff herself to such an extent as to make herself sick and after that day she wants no more candy. Girls sometimes remain five or six years in tho bouse, and never taste a sugar plum.

In Paris, where the most dcligbful bon-bons are made, they are put Into exquisite little baskets or boxes, lined with satin, and tied with a delicate ribbon, or garlanded with flowers. In fact, tbe casket is beautiful, and the contents are delicious.—[Oliver Optic.

A ten vear old, boasting to a schoolmate of his father's accomplishments, put it thus: "My father can do almost anything. He's a notary public, and he's a pothecary, and be can pull teeth, and he's a horse doctor, and he ban mend wagons and things, and he can play tbeiiddle and he's a jackass at all trades."

A doctor and a Campbellite preacher riding along the outskirts of Kingston, Missouri, not lohg ago. Overtook a ragged urchin with a string Of fish which he had caught in the creek which was close by. The preacher accosted the lad in a patronizing way: "My soft? What dO you Call those fish?" "Campbellitef sir,", promptly responded the boy. "Why do you call them by that name?" "Because they spoil so quick after I get them out of water."
