OTHER PEOPLE/

A popular clergyman in New York is said to receive nearly as much from marriage fees as from his salary in the pillpit.

Commodore Nutt, the dwarf who used to travel with Tom Thumb, died in New York, Wednesday morning, of Bright's disease.

One son of Mr. English, the late can (lidate for the Vice Presidency, married a pretty variety actress, and the second is betrothed to Minnie Kent, a skippingrope dancer.

A St. Louis mau deferred his suicide until he could have some mourning paper exquisitely printed with his monogram, so that he could write his farewell letters in good style.

A Davenport, la., couple were married in a cave. During the ceremony, when all was romance, a rock fell down and mashed the bride's foot, and her yells were heard over a mile.

Mr. Colfax is a regular contributor of Capitol Reminiscences" to the New York Weekly. His articles average throe quarters of a columnjin length and he receives $5Q each for them.

A young man has been arrested in a Canadian to\tti for proposing marriage tocvery woman he met, offering, among other inducements, a bridal trip to Europe. The number of Barkises is great.

The complete independence of man and wife, where property is concerned, is nowhero carried to such a point as among the Indians of Central America. Every day the husband Jbuys his meals from his wife, who purchases from him raw material for the table.

Whcu Jay Gould was on the witness stand, the other day, ho was asked about an investment and replied: "I invost ed either $6,000,000 or $10,000,000. 1 don't remember which." Of course not It's unreasonable to expect a man to re member about such a small transaction as that.

A pair of Cincinnati lovers quarrelled, and the man drew a pistol, saying that ho meant to shoot the girl. She quietly told him that he eould kiss or kill her, and she eared very littlo whieh.
