A FUNNY MARRIAGE.

A good story is by the 'Chicago Times/ of Vn* Buffalo Bill performed a marriagvMiile he was Justice of the Peace.V, v was his first attempt, ani the apphyMj were of the true Western typ*. They called upon Cody in bis log v cabin, where he-held his Justice office. Bill had a book of forms, which he took down and studied attentively ..to get some idea of how he should tie the knot. There were forms for nearly every transaction of life, but he failed to find what he was looking for, arid finally slammed the booOown and obaerred to the parties:■■ ' You two fellers join hands;' and the ' two fellers' did so. Then he said to the f room: ' Are you willing to take this woman to be your lawful wedded wife, to love her, honor her, and obey her! * * You bet yer buteß,' was the response of the bashful hair-lifter. ' And you, miss, are yon willing to take this man here to bey oar wedded husband, to love him, honor him, and support'him ?' She giggled and nodded in the affirmative ', bat this didn't suit Bill, who said : ' See here, miss, we've got to have this.thing on the dead square, and we can't marry folks by halves in this country. We are bound to go the whole hog. If you' -waiit this; jieTßr man for a husband, you must speak out and say though youk meant it sure. I*ll ask you again. Will you take this here man to be your lawful wedded husband, to love him, honor him, and support him V This time the lady responded bravely, * Yes, sir, I will.' This satisfied his Honor, and he remarked, ' That settles it. Wow lo'o.k here, you two; you are man aud wife, and whoever Bill Cody has joined together let at man put asuutler..' < And now,' added Bill, 'let's take another sip of tarantula juice, and drink to the happiness ot the happy couple,'which everybody with true Western unanimity proceeded to do.
