i A you' ix Englishman was recentlyboasting tiiitt lie played in a county match against the Australians, and his innings occupied three days. Whereupon his hearers indulged in audible remarks as to the young man's lineal descent from Ananias. He had, however, but stated the fact. On the first day of the match he was sent in before the stumps were drawn, and didn't receive a single ball. On the second day it rained so heavily that play was impossible. On the third day he was bowled with the first ball sent down. Says "Broadbrim" in a contemporary: - -The suit I spoke of some time ago, when David A. Solomon, a wealthy manufacturer of neckties was spirited away on the day of his marriage, and on the complaint of his brother, in conspiracy with a couple of physicians, was landed in a lunatic asylum. Miss Clara Perry Thomas, his affianced, invoked the aid of the law, and a writ of habeas corpus brought him before the Court. A jury of impartial men were summoned, and Solomon had a chance to speak for himself, when he convinced the judge and jury that he was as sane as any man in the Court. The doctors were furious; they swore point blank that he was dying of paresis, and others swore that he was mad as a March hare, but they failed to convince the jury which acquitted him on the spot. He had waited for his bride almost as Jacob did for Rachel, she being a Christian and he a Jew, but on his father's death he sought to carry out his engagement. His brother, who desired him to mairy a Jewess, shanghiedhim off to a luuatic asylum. There has been too much of that done within the past few yoars, and there are plenty of expert doctors here who aid this villainy, who would swear a man's liberty away for a ten-dollar fee. Mr Solomon lost n j time in profiting by his liberty, and on Saturday Miss Thomas was made Mrs Solomon.
