proaching marriage of Mr. John lleenan, the
"Benicia Boy,'* to a beautiful young lady
of high position, socially and artistically,
who has been regarded by the artists of Cin
cinnati with much admiration who has great
talents, and writes a great deal for various
periodicals. She was born in a soldier's
barracks, and eduoated as a soldier's daugh

and the young lady is closely watched but
there is no doubt of the "Benicia Boy" and
the "Military Star" being married, in spite
of all these pugilistic displays by ber Pork
opolis admirers."

Mr. Fillmore was practicing law in the Buf
falo courts, he was a pretty formidable an
tagonist. Upon one oooaeion a witty lawyer
by the name of Talcott was his opponent, and
the latter, wishing to show to the jury how
strong his rival's case was fortified, made uee
of a phrase which he presumed would come
home to their feelings. "Not only," said
he, "have my client's rights been invaded,
but also, to sustain that inroad, you find ar
rayed against him the best talent in tbe coun
try—the right bower of tbe profession."
"What doee the gentleman on the op^psite
side mean by the 'right bower,'" said Mr. F.,
who had never played a game of enobre in
hie life.
