Chicago Tribune: A young man
read in the Ledger a few days ago
that if you wanted to find out if the
woman you had elected for your fu
ture spouse has a good temper, you
ought to take occasion to step on her
dress, or snap the sticks of her fan, or
ir. some other way annoy or discom
pose her. “ If,” said the great au
thor ty whp presides over4he column
of advice, “ if she betrays no signs of
ill-temper she will prove a model
wife.” Accordingly the young man
seized and opportunity when his
sweetheart was riggid in her most
killing array to step on her trail and
pulled out about three yards of gath
ers with a rip like a peal of thunder,
exposing about three-quarters of the
frame work that makes her dress
stick out behind. But, instead of
meeting the accident with perfect
equanimity, she turned round and
jobbed her parasol into his eye, called
him a lunk-lieaded leper, and asked
him why he didn’t wear his feet side
ways. He expresses himself as
thankful that he didn’t marry the
girl before finding out what sort of a
temper she had.
Twentj - Gainesville ladies voted
on the question: Has a young lady
the right to kiss a gentleman with
whom she takes an evening drive?
There were nineteen affirmative
votes. The one negative vote was
cast by a woman with red hair and
glass eye.

3d. Its destruction would be the

Mr- Hill perorated. Lis excellent
address with a patriotic and impass-
that J when''she' i T‘ < ! ’Strophe, in the course of
which he said ;
“ Flag of our Union, wave ’on,
wave ever. Southern breezes shall
kiss thee; Southern skies shall
reflect; Southern sons shall love thee*
and for thee shall Southern heroes
die!’’ It was pronounced one of the
grandest efforts of his life.
But Atlanta can never Jo any
thing without tlie rosy Loehranc and,
of course, that worthy had to insert
an oratorical finger in this pie also.
We never knew before whence the
epithet “ rosy,” but when he began
in an impetuous flood of Irish elo
quence ; as his veins swelled up like
ship cables, his eyes rolled around
and his face grew as rod as a dawn-
aurora;, and the epithet was under-
derstood. He made a good speech
and wound up in a eulogy on “ Pat
Cleburne,” the “ stunner from cork.”
One of the most brilliant events of
the season was the marriage of Col.
E. Y. Clarke, of the Constitution, to
Miss Nora V. Harrison, formerly of
the Lucy Cobb Institute. The cere-
monyjwas performed before a large
concourse of friends at the second
Baptist church by Rev. Messrs.
Spaulding and Rogers, who re
spectively had received the bride and
groom into the Baptist and Presby
terian churches.
Col. Clarke is one of the veterans
of the Georgia press, who substantial
ly testified their good will upon this
happy occasion, by presenting his
bnde with a thousand dollar Knabe
piano. (.This was quite a “knobby”
gift, by the way.) To the happy
couple we tender our wannest con
gratulations and best, wishes. May
their lives he a mosaic of harmony
interspersed with the tenderest trills
and sweetest strains of happiness.
