ROME, GEORGIA, SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 0, 1879.
Marriage Festivities in the Cap*
ital of Spain.
B; Cable to tho N. Y. HerslJ.
Madrid, Nov. 29.—The nuptials of
Alfonso XII.. King of Spain, and Arch
duchess Marie Christine, of Austria,
were celebrated this morning. Madrid
woke early. The first banners were
streaming from the roofs at dawn.
From every quarter of tne city the pop
ulace flocked to their holiday. Troops
of cavalry dashed up and down the
streets, and military bands promenaded
the Prado. The walls are covered with
announcetm nts of coining bull fights,
the cafes are thronged with foreigners,
and all day long the ten bioad streets
bare poured into the Puerta del Sol
their endless stream of people and car
nages. The Madrileno has little thought
of the political significance of the mar
riage. He is content to enjoy the golden
hour as it flies. He' has come out to
tie Prado in ruffled shirt and plumed
bat, and having paid his homage to the
Queen is now preparing for the feteB,
which me to be by far the most notable
part of the royal marriage.
Theceremony of this morning resem
bled so closely the ceremony which de
filed through tho Calle Mayor in Janu-
*ry, 18J8, when Alfonso and his fair
cousin Mercedes were united, that I
need not send you a prolonged descrip-
'ion. At eleven o’clock the King, who
looked joyous and happy, left the Royal
Palace for the Chapel of Atocha. He
was preceded by Queen Isabella, the
irmcess of the Asturias, the Infantas
and the great dignitaries and Ministers
oi Btate. The streets were lined with
soldiers Behind them the populace
ras massed in dense array. The Arch
duchess, having oome in the morning
rom the Pardo Castle, changed her
'otlet for a bridal attire at tho Ministry
cl Marine, whither she had been accom
panied by her mother and by members
other suite. She proceeded to the Alo
is church by way of the Carrera di
‘■ ln Wonimo, the King having passed
ang the Calle de Alcala. She was re-
toed at the doors by members of the
piotnatic corps, by a number of gran-

Why Man Persnires-
Not Exactly Seasouable but None the Less !
Interesting,
Man perspires because perspiration
being the watery portion of the blood
it, when discharged, carries outward
with it all extraneous matters. The
blood flows with intense and wonderful
rapidity through overy portion of your
frame. In the course of an hour or two
the whole mass of it goes through every
part. The limits given as to time may
be questioned, because the quantity of
blood is supposed to be much greater
than it is; instead of thirty pounds of
blocd in the body, there is not more
than one-half, according to the experi
ments of Bishoff, of Munich. That
blood has to carry away the effete mat
ter which results from each motion of
tbe mind or of the body. While de.
positing fresh fibre, it has to remove all
poison. In fact, that blood, with its
watery part, is washing the whole in
ternal man overy instnnt of time, or it
is constantly repeating back upon him
his own pollution. Well, apply a cer
tain increase of temperature to that
body, and instantly comeB in operation
that wonderful provision of nature
th’ough which that blood relaxes its
watery parts, and with it discharges the
whole of those poisonous matters.
When a man maker an effort, the imme
diate consequence is perspiration. The
effort is the purpose for which the en
gine was created. You live and you
act; your life is in your action; there
fore the action itself is the purpose and
aim of life. That action relaxes those
fluid contents of the blood. The same
happens whenever you raise the tem
perature. Life is a chemical operation;
it is being performed every minute,
every • minutest subdivision of time.
Every humau being on the face of the
earth is inventing, second by second,
life. His existence depends upon a
chemical operation which he carries on.
That operation, like all others, is retro
active. It is in chemistry as in dyna
mics. If you discharge a broadside of
shot into your enemy’s vessel, there is
an equal impingement on your own.
only you parry the blow. While, then,
you are constantly producing the phe
nomena of life, you are as constantly
producing the elements of death. Death
is the reaction, poison is the recoil. You
know your own breath will kill; there is
not a more deadly poison; all that comes
from yon kills. The effete matter of
your own body is poison. The pollu
tion of man is from himself—is front
within. This is the primary sense of
the words of Christ, “It is that which
cometh forth out of a man which de-
fileth him.’’ If you impede—that is to
say, if you interfere with the natural
facilities of that organ by which that
poison is to be carried off as rapidly as
it is created, you superinduce a morbid
condition of the frame. It matters not
in what manner it shows itself, whether
it is in incomplete health or in in posi
tive disease. Inflammation is one of
these results. When it is produced, it
is itself a disease.
Louisana Election.
New Orleans, Dec. 2.—Tbe election
is this passed off quietly. A very light
light vote was polled, praobably less
than two-thirds. The “Ring’ ‘ticket in
this parish is generally elected. Special
dispatches to the Democrat from all tele
graph stations in the State show heavy
Democratic gains. These reports, giv
ing estimates of majorities in 11 country^
parishes claim Democratic gains of
11,20 as compared with Democratic
count of 187G. Some of these parishes
gave President Hayes 1,600 majority.
All the disnatches says the election
passed off quietly. Most of them report
the negroes voting the Democratic ticket
ar.d for the Constitution.
Grant’s Nomination.
Cincinnati Gazetto.
Washington, Deo. 1.—A well known
friend of Gen. Grant, who met him in
Nevada, and who is well enough ac«
quainted to justify his question, asked
the General in a company of friends,
at a reception given by the Governor
what he thought concerning his nomi
nation. He reports Gen. Grant as an
swering, without hesitation and with
emphasis, “I sincerely hope no necessi
ty will arise calling for my nomtna-
The necessity which the General has
in mind, as he explained, was connected
with the condition of Southern affairs.

.?ew tragedians these days carry the
stilted mannerisms of the Btage into or
dinary intercourse in real life, as did
many of the histrionic heroes and
heroines of the past. Goldsmith said of
Garries:
“On the stage he is natural, simple, af
fecting,
iis only when off the stage he is act
ing.”
History tells us that the great Siddons
was wont to “stab the potatoes” at meal
time. Of our modern wooers of the
tragic muse it .s said that Lawrence
Barrett i-s most prone in this regard to
follow the example of his distinguished
predecessors to such an extent that he
orders his meals in blank verse. Such
a scene as the following, a veracious
chronicler tells, was witnessed at the
Burnet house last week :
Enter obsequious waiter. Rattles
dishes and shoots bill of furo at the
great histrion in the customary style.
Waiter—Soup, sir?
Great Histrion—Aye, bring it me,
And likewise fish, whose name
Is but a synonym for azure depths.
And then in haste procure for me a
modicum of beef.
Waiter—Rare or well done?
G. H.—Let not the fires its carmine
hue too much embrown,
Nor from it let the bright, red blood too
fteely flow,
Just dene enough, my palate pleases
best,
Bring, too, the escnleDt endeared to
sons of crushed Hiberna.
And with it, apples of Jerusalem stew
ed,
And “Beacon street berries,” that the
vulgar uame as beans.
And when thou hast this charge ful
filled,
Bring me for dessert that mysterious
thing
That puzzled England’s king:
Whose bothered brain could ne’er sur
mise
Just how the apple in tho dough was
put.
Then let me have a dark decoction
Of that brown berry that the Arab loves.
Now, menial hireling, haste thy tardy
limbs,
For hungered am I, and the craving
which my inwards feel
Must soon be satisfied.
Not a Joke, But a Fact.
The Chicago Inter-Ocean, of Satur
day, has the following: A Sabbath
school teacher at Cincinnati (or a near
suburb) having occasion to be absent,
engaged one of the leading young ladies
of society to take her place and teach
her class. She was prompt in the duty,
and, dressed in faultless style,_ made a
decided and favorable impression upon
the class, and fancied she had sown
good seed in the minds of her youthful
charge. Tho teacher, the next Sunday,
on gathering her class, said, "Well,
girls, you had a new teacher last Sun
day ; can you tell me any of the lessons
she taught you, or have you forgotten!”
"Oh, no,” answered the class, “we re
member everything. She taught us all
about Samson in the lion’s den." “Oh,
no—you mean Daniel.” “No, we don’t,
it was Samson.” The teacher wisely
closed the subject, and hurrying through
the lesson, took an early occasion to call
upon the substitute. Said —.
“What did you teach my class last Sun
day ?” “Oh 1 we had a nioe time, and
1 told them all about Samson in the
lion’s den, and Moses in the. fiery fur
nace, and—”
The above is not a joke, but a fact.
Courier-Journal: A bill was intro-
troduced in Congress last year to reduce
the rate of letter postage from three to
two cents. It was a good treasure, but
the Post Office Department asserted
that the reduction would be ruination
to the postal revenues. We don’t be
lieve it. The contrary has beon proven
in England, where the reduction of post
age has been a great stimulus to letter
writing, with an appreciable increase of
revenue. If the Government can af
ford to issue postal cards and carry them
at less than letter rates, there is no rea
son why letter postage cannot be reduced
one cent. A postal card weighs as
much as an ordinary letter, and costs
as much for transportation as a letter.
After letter postage was reduced to
three cents in 1803, the revenue was
largely increased and the deficiency but
slightly increased, although the post
routes were very greatly extended.
The Baltimore Sun, speaking of the
success of the colored peoples fair at
Raleigh last week, says, with good
cause: “When the colored people of
North Carolina ceased to be nursed and
coddled by the Freedman’s Bureau and
cajoled by the carpetbagger, they began
to adapt themselves to their new condi-
tions, and, having learned the wisdom
of self-dependence, Jthey seek to live in
har-mony with their with neighbors.
