Two singular accounts of the original' tires causing
destruction of property have appeared recently: The
former iu the United Stales; the latter, and very re
cent one, in Austria. In these instances, it 18 averred
that the tires originated in the falling of meteorites,
or “failing stars,” which came in contact with the
buildings thus iguited. This e something new, yet
wholly within reason. The fail of such bodies has
loug been known; and their c mposition, differing
iromany mineral combinations of earthly minerals,
shows their origin to be extra-terristrial. We have
before us a copy of Saffurd’s “Geology of Tennessee,”
which (pi ge odd) gives a most inte:eating account of
one uf these iurolites which was seen to fall in Lincoln
Cjuntv, Tennessee, in loan, by James B. Dooley, Esq
When first dug out of the soil where it had buried it-
self, it was too hot to be handled. It weighed nearly
4 pounds, was composed partly ol iron, and was mag
netic. Twelve other serolites are known to have
fallen in Tennessee in the last 50 years, and are pre
served as curiosities. The largest of these weighs
about 2.000 pounds. An immense airolite fell iu this
State many years ago. We believe a part of it is
preserved in the Museum of Mercer Couege at Macon.
The account of conflagrations caused by these strange
bodies is found in the November Number of Harpers’
Magazine which is always replete with interest to the
reader.

Their polished surface gleamed
Cold and haul us the words that say
“ Ho I for the unction brave and gay,
Bargains rare—to he sold to-dgy,
Ail “pledges unredeemed.”
Cobweb laces that on the air
Of the Inula! morning streamed,
Sen bright jewels that rich and rare
On the bride s w hite bosom gleamed ;
Tokens drear, of a joy that’s fled,
Types of a failli and a love long dead,
Crushed by Destiny's iron tread
Lie “ pledges unredeemed.”
Types of t he lives now slid and cold.
Where ambition brightly gleamed.
Token of hearts now crushed and old.
Where love’s warm suns once beamed,
Types of a Fate that fiercely drives
Over a life that vainly strives,
Filling our homes ao ; l lieatts and lives
Witn “ pledges unredeemed.”
Clad in the mbea.ut Truth's pure light
The youthful maiden seemed
Bathed in the Waters sparkling bright,
From virtue’s fourt that streamed—
Deep in the mire of shame an i wrong
Trailing herpnow-wiiilc robes a g,
Bioken, battered, and “sold lor a song
Her “pltdges unredeemed.”
Where black and loweti g, memory’s cloud
With hideous phantoms teemed,

And his lurid sceptre gleamed,
Mid tliundrous war of seas und skies, <
Whits baleful lightnings blind her eyes,
Come weird aud ghostly, wailing cries
Of “ pledges unredeemed.”

On the youth’s broad forehead beamed,

In his manly bosom gleamed—
Prone in the noontide sun lie lay
Wheiethe Devils of Drink aud Play
Shouted their dreadful demon lay

From the smoke of passions,- of - iglis and tears,
That a funeral pyre had seemed,
From the poisoned ashes ■ f old dead years,
Cold shapes that writhed and gleamed
Uprose from the coiled and slumbering Past,
Twisting their tortuous foldings fast
Round the shrieking soul, and hissing, asked
Of its ‘ pledges unredeemed.''
No heart so light, but its meadow lair

No life so bright, but the baleful glare
Of sin lias o’er it streamed;
Each blushing rose lias its canker worm.
Each flushing cloud its hidden storm,
Each sunlit wave its sharks that sw arm

marriage having been made by him in the book kept
fir the purpose of registering marriage s. The Major’s
story is that botli parties were aware that a m ini -ge
by a Catholic Priest, of a Protestant un i a Catholic,
the Major claiming to be of the former, and tire lady
of the latter farli, was a nullity, but he was willing
to go through the forms as a s live to the lady’s con
science, she having already conceded to him the rights
of a husband. The lady's stoiy is, that the Mnj >r was
willing to make her his lawful wife, end only insisted
upon its being kept secret for family reasons How
ever the tru:h may be, the lady aud gentleman subse
quently traveled about in England and ou Die Conti
nent as man and wife, separating from time to time,
and continuing to correspond as before. Ia this state
of affairs, the lady fancying herself, or pretending to
be in the condition of wives who love their lords, be
gan in her letters to speak rather pointedly of lier mat-
rimnnial rights, and of the necessity of making them
public, his answers to which letters are uotpioduced
by her. In the meantime the grand catastrophe was
reached by the Major marrying a Mrs. Forbes, a rich
widow, tjome months elapsed without any effort ou
Miss Longwotth’s part to substantiate her claims to
the fickle swain The first time the point was made,
was in a suit brought in Ireland by a creditor of Miss
Longworth against the Major for goods furnished her
as his wife. The validity of the Irish marriage was
insisted on by the creditor, and the po ut was sustained
so far as it could be in that inode, by a verdict < f the
jury in favor of the plaintiff for the lull amount of his
claim. Afterwards the Major aud his bride went to
Scotiuiid, and were followed by Miss Longworth, who
openly assumed the name of Yelverton, and claimed
to be the real wife Thereupon, the Major commenced
an action in the Scotch Courts, allowed by the civil
law, to prohibit lier from using his name, and she,
nothing daunted, insisted in answer upon the Scotch
aud Irish marriage, aud commenced a cross action to
establish their validity. The Judge Ordinary decided
that the marriage was not made out, but upon nppbal
a majority of the Scotch Judges—two out of three—
held that a marriage per verba defuturo, with copu
lation had been sufficiently shown. The House of
Lords upon a second appeal by a vote of three judges
to two reversed tbe decision of the Scotch Appellate
Court, and declared the Scotch marriage uot proven,
and the It isli marriage invalid. Four out of the nine
Judges who passed upon the case, it will be noticed,
decided in favor of the lady. She seems, therefore,
fairly entitled to the doubt upon which he lias since ac
ted, and « hich has been gallantly conceded to her by
the American Republicans, since she came to this
country. Or is this another sign of our moral detnor
nlizatien. so significative of the waysof the hour?

A Brilliant Wedding.
Twenty-live Thousand Dollars’ n’ortli of
Presents to the Rritfe.
[From the X. \\ Sun.
Last evening the residence of Mr.
and Mrs. Lewis, 44 East Forty-ninth
street, was a blaze of light and gaiety,
on the occasion of the marriage of
their daughter, ’Jiss Minnie Lewis,
to Mr. Solomon L. Waitzfelder. The
wealthiest Hebrew families in New
York were ell represented. Ati arched
awning extended from the sidewalk to
the door, under which a carpet was
laid. The scene inside the house was
very brilliant, especially in the rooms
on the second floor, which were the
great point of attraction. Here the
presents to the bride were on exhibi
tion. The apartments looked like a
part of Tiffany’s, so stocked were they
with rare and expensive ornaments.
Superb tea sets, handsome water cool
ers, and brilliant chandeliers, occu
pled every part of the front room, and
in the plenitude of large and mas. ive
articles such elegant but diminutive
trifles as diamond jewelry, gold and
silver card cases and scent bottles,
parlor clocks, small but priceless, and
other things valuable, as was stated
upon some of them, not for their in
worth, but as offeiings of af
fection. There were also two pianos
of the most costly make and finish,
and a room full of rare hot house
flowers, in holders of every imagma
ble pattern. The entire value of the
gifts presented was not less than $2-5,-
000. Among The gentlemen guests
were the ifev. Dr. Gottheil, ex-Com-
missioner Samuel A. Lewis, Dr. Mark
Blumenthal, Mr. Waitzfelder (father
of the bridegroom), the Rev. A. Leo,
and Dr. S. N. Leo.
The bridesmaids, who were attired
in white, were Miss Rebecca Schles-
inger, Miss Ella Lewis, Miss Nellie
Leo, Miss Hattie Markwald, Miss
Waitzfelder, Miss Josie Lewis, Miss
Rachel Bach, Miss Luisa Havtineyer,
and Miss Rebecca Jacobs.
Ti e Rev. Dr. Isaacs performed t’ e
ceremony. A canopy was spread in
the centre of the room, under which,
at opposite sides, stood the bride and
groom. The Rabbi took his place
at one end. The bridesmaids stood
behind the bride, and her mother
beside lier. The bride was dressed in
white gros grain silk, with white tulle
arid ‘orango blossoms, and a veil ex
tending to lier feet. The Rabbi spoke
briefly, giving some good advice to
the young couple, admonishing them
against allowing their affection for
each other to interfere with their love
for their parents. He then sang or
chanted some words in Hebrew, and
the bride and groom twice tasted wine
out of the same goblet, which was held
to their lips by their parents The
ring was placed on the bride’s finger,
aud the ceremony was concluded by
the Rabbi casting a glove upon the
ground, which the bridegroom crushed
beneath his heel, after which the
couple were pronounced husband and
wife. In the evening a brilliant recep
tion was given by Mr. and Mrs. Hen
ry Lewis.

There seems to be an idea prevailing to a consider,
able extent among a certain class that we are nearing
specie payments So fur as this is an inference drawn
from the present low pi ice of gold it has no force. As
our readers fully understand, gold is now with us main
ly a common.ty. The rate to be pai t for it depends
upen ssveral circumstances, and prominent among
them are supply und demand. At present the demand
is extremely limited, and the supply isincrea-ing, hence
lower price. How tln-ae influences are producing this
result, a moment's reflection will show.
Fust, banks do not want gold, although it increases
their reserve, for their need (and a very pressing need
it is) is currency.
Second, the panic has checked the inqu ry for im
ported goods, so that there is a decreased demand to
pay duties.
Third, Speculators have no money and very little
heart to carry it, and hence are n leasing instead of iu
cr< a ing their boards.
rourtli, All shipments from this side have ceased,
while England's strong box tins been opened and she
is pouriug off her abundance into our already over-
supplied reservoirs.
With such conditions a very low price of gold is of
course inevitable. But specie payments are no nearer
on that account. There is the same gulf to be budged
there was before. Not that we suppose gold will return
to its old point—as to that we know very little. !t is
generally believed that tlie price was artificially high
previous to the panic ; if so, it may rule lower in fu
ture. But until we have pul our house in order a return
to specie payments is nut among the possibil ties.

A cluster oi Tammany Democrats gathered in Acad
emy Hall last evening to nominate a candidate for the
seat of the late Congressman, James Brooks. Mr. J.
II. Roberts was called to the chair. The votes of the
delegates were rapidly given by the Chairmen repre
senting the districts, aud the Hon. Samuel S. Cox was
unanimously nominated. While a committee were
looking for Mr. Cox, Mr. James Powers read resolu
tions reviewing Mr. Cox’s Congressional career and
strongly favoring his election. A burst of applause
greeted Mr. Cox on his entrance. Taking his position
iu the centre of the ball. Mr. Cox said-.
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen : I accept the nom
ination as heartily as it is tendered. Y'our nomination
makes the election sure. In the embittered condition
of our city politics, theselectionofone so far aloof from
its influence aud ignorant of its design as myself is a
compliment beyond expression delightful to my heart.
I shall not be p odigal of promises, f know how the
catch words of party and the phrases of platform are
regarded. I have ieceived this honor not because I
have promised to do aught in your service, but I pre
sume because you are approvingly familiar with my
past services in the Federal Congress.
In one respect only will I depart from this rule. I
promise if elected to give nicer heed and more studious
vigilance to the business interests of the metropolis.
iu every way possible in tbe future I will cooperate
with such men as Roach,. Quintard and Murphy, in
aiding that class of labor. 1 have uot voted subsidies
for ships, nor railroads either. It has been complained
that I did not discriminate in favor of a few who had
such interests against those who had the general inter
est. If I do go to Congress again, I will pursue the
same tenet of my political faith. “Bounties for 1.11
or none.” No political legislation for favorites, either
by grabbing or by law, in one shape or another, by
salary or by bonds, by lands or syndicates ; no gratu
ity for one mao, or one firm, or one class, not enjoya
ble by all. I have been attacked also because I voted
and spoke.every time the salaiy increase came up
against it; and because I replaced it in the Treasury
I am regarded by the Butlers and Carpenters as a
demagogue and coward. Most a man be a highway
man or bank manager in order to show his pluck ? -
Is it brave to despoil tlie poor, the widow aud the or
phan, to clutch from the public till, tiie earnings of la
bor, placed there by patriotic devotion, in order lo
be a hero ? Is there to be no complaisance in public
life except that based on the pecuniary ? Are all lien
ors to be measured by the salary ! Are pious profes
sions to save the greedy ! Are the Lord's annointed
to ride rough sho t over the unpretending and unmerce
nary ■ Not without some slight disturbance, ns recent
events testify. Aye, even the spell of military renown
may be broken, with the downfall of funds and the
howl aud growl ot bulls and bears. My votes and
views on the increase of salary were inspired by
Democratic teaching. The Democratic State platform
lias the right ting. It has Jeffersonian doctrine of
economy. It no more recognizes the right of private
persons than of public officials to prey like drones
upon the money of the hive laid up by the indust; raja.
There is a solitary rule for guidance iu all legislation.
It is of democratic origin. Jt strictly construes the
Constitution and our duty under it. It believes that
the States never surrendered, only do’cg ited eertain
powers to the Federal Government. It does not be
lieve that our felicities, domestic or‘other, reside in
the kingly consequence and splendor of central or
military power. It believes that they reside in State
rights and home ru'e, and in as iillieof that rule out
side ot home as is consistent with order aud sufely.
No sumptuary laws for our bodies ; aud as little irre-
spons.b e aud distant rule as possible—A\ V. Sun.

—With a preface of “ifs” and “huts”
Harper's Weekly asks a question and
makes a remark. The question is,wheth
er the signature that made the back
pay provision effective is not quite as
responsible in the premises as the votes
that enacted it. The remark is, that
the better course for individual Re
publicans is to regret, not to defend
thePresident’saction. Harper's Weekly
is clear in the conviction that General
Grant ought to have vetoed that bill,
and that bis failure to do so was “a
great opportunity lost.” Naturally, it
regards the disingenuous resolutions of
Congressman Hoar and Senator Con
kling as a trifle too thin for practical
purposes. “Even in trying to discrimi
nate they fail,” isflts verdict upon the
performance of these eminent moral
acrobats.
How Chandler was Picked Up.—
The Fredericksburg Herald says: In
his harangue at King George Court
house, last week, Chandler spoke in
exalted terms of the laborer and of the
negro, who he sought to show was an
equal
down
dience, who looked meek as Moses
and innocent as a dove, interrupted
Chandler, aud asked if he (Chandler)
thought a poor white laboring man
was as good as himself. Promptly
Chandler responded in the affirmative.
Quickly this was followed up by a
query as to whether Chandler thought
a negro as good as himself. This was
a stunner, and fairly knocked the
ready Chandler off’ his pegs, but he
had to face the music, and.responded
“No.”
The “burnt district” in Charleston
is rapidly re-building. Since the begin

THE ONLY KN0WJY MEDICIAE
that at tlio same Time
Forges, Purifies, and Strengthens the
System.
0r, Tiiii's I'sll* arc eoin|iOsed of many ingredi
ents Prominent among tliem are Sarsaparilla and
Wild Clierry,so united as to act together; the one,
through its admixture with other substances, purify
ing an i purging; while the other is strengthening the
system. Thus thes.i I’ills are at the same time a tonic
iinii a cathartic, a desideratum long sought lor by med
ical men, but never before discoveied. In other
words, they do the work of two medicines and do it
much belter than any two we know of, lor l hey re
move nothing from the system but impurities, so Hint
while they purge they also strengthen and lienee they
cause no debility and are followed by no reaction.
Hr. Tun’s I*ilN have a wonderful influence on
the blood. They nut only purity without weakening
it, but they remove nil noxious particles from the
chyle before it is converted into fluid, and thus makes
impure blood an utter impossibility. As there is no
debilitation, so there is no nausea or sickness attend
ing the operation of this ino.it excellent medicine,
which never strains or tortures the digestive organs,
but causes them to work in a perfectly natural man
ner; lienee persons taking them do not become pale
and emanciated, but on the contrary, while all impa
rities are being removed, the combined action ot tiie
Sarsaparilla and Wild Cherry purifies and invigorates
the body, and a robust state of health is the result of
their united action. Price, 25 cents a box. Sold by
u : l druggists. Depot -18 Curtlandt St , New York.
TO THE WEST! TO THE WEST!
Before making your arrangements to follow th** advice of the
“thousands who have already gone,” it would bo well to consid
er what has been done to make the journey to your “Homes iu
the West” as pleasant and a* free from danger us human skill
aud foresight can accomplish.
By consolidation and construction a road has been put into
operation on the shortest possible line fr« *"
to St. Louis, ‘the future
tbe
•at City of the wurld.” This line,
St. Louis 6l Southeastern Railway,
has, during Jie past year, earned an enviable reputation by its
smooth track, prompt time, sure connections, and the magnifi
cence of its passenger equipment. Its trains are made up >4
new aud commodious day cars, provided with the celebrated
Miller coupler and platform, and tbe Westiughouse air-brake
It is positively the only line naming Pullman Palace Drawing-
Room Sleeping Cars through without change from Nashville t
St. Louis. No other line pretends to r such advantaget-
either in distance, time, or equipment. Why, then, jourm-y by
circuitous route?.' Do uot be induced to purchase tickets to St.
Louis or tbe West by auy other line, remembering that
The “HI. I,•nit* A Sowthrnslern”
