beg you will not bo disturbed by Washing-

of my having ever received money or any
thing else of value from the Union Pacific

cr agents, i3 not only false but absurd.

answer. Meantime I trust you will hold
a peaceful mind. I shall never be injur
ed by slurs of this kind.
Sincerely Yours, J. G. Blaine.

A Twelve Minion Franc Bride Mar
ried—In the Temple in Paris.
A Paris correspondent describes the
grand ceremonies attending the recent
marriage of Bettina, daughter of Baron
Alphonse de Rothschild, with her doub!
first cousin Albert, son of Baron Solomon,
of Vienna, which took place ia the syna
gogue of the Rue de la Victoire. Twelve
o’clock was mentioned on tho cards of
invitation, but it was nearly half an hour
after that time before tho bridal pair
arrived, in a magnificent equipage, fol
lowed by tho other members of their
numerous family in voitures do gala.
The Moorish porch at the entrance of
the synagogue was profusely decorated
with flowers. There was a great display
of jewelry in the bonnets, in which were
fastened, instead of the buckles now
worn, rare and costly gems. Shortly
after 12 some hundred tapers behind
a. seven branched' candlestick were
lighted, and their rays, falling npon
the ornaments, produced a glitterir
effect. Then entered, in Orienti
hat3 .and vestures, Isidore, the Grand
Rabbi of France; Zadoo Kahn, the Grand
Rabbi of Paris, and Rabbi Bauer, who
was to offer wine to the newly wedded
couple. They awaited for some moments
the bridal party in front of a baldeqnin
placed on an elevated part of the floor,
and resembling a Moorish kiosk. The
Prince and Princesses of the Orleans
family were placed close to the sanctnary.
Behind them were the ministers of
finance, war and foreign affairs, and sev
eral generals. When the bride wa3 an
nounced the rabbis went to meet her.
She entered leaning on the arm of her
father, who kept on his hat, as did the
other gentlemen in her train. Most per
sons rose to look at the young lady, who
ha3 won a diploma of governess and who
brings twelve million francs to her hus
band. She is small and fair. 'When the
affianced couple ascended the dais be
neath the baldequin the service began
with a Hebrew canticle sung by M. Levy
to tho organ accompaniment. Zadoc
Khan then delivered an exhortation, in
which he alluded to the great financial
power of the Rothschilds, and spoke of
the marriage as a fresh tie between the
closely united branches of that honse.
The Rabbi Isidore also made an oration,
in which he spoke of the obligation of
tho yonng couple to aid their poor breth
ren according to their great fortune.
Rabbi BiUcr, at the closo of a psalm
which was chanted by the fall choir, ad
vanced with an ancient Venetian goblet
filled with wine, which the bride and
bridegroom drank. On the latter hand
ing it back the officiating minister dashed
it to tho ground. The clash of broken
glass against tho stone pavement an
nounced that tho ceremony was at an
end.

The Meanest Woman In Mew
York.
“ ircr.feus ” in tlio New York Observer.)
She lives in a fashionable quarter of
tho town. And this is what she did and
does: In the name of charity she gave
out some dress making to the inmates of
one of the institutions for reforming wo
men supposed to ho lost. When the
work wa3 done, this fashionable and
charitable lady wa3 not ready to pay the
bill, which amounted to tho enormous
sum cl $12. Tho same work, if it had
been done at a fashionable dressmaker’s
would havo cost her $25, or perhaps $50.
She had no complaint to make of the
manner in which tho work was done; but
she haggled about the price, and, as she
gave out tho work iu charity, she thought,
probably, that the charity should bo ex
tended to her and not to the poor sewing-
woman who had earned the money. One
month passed away, and another, and
six more, while this wealthy and charita
ble woman, with one excuse and another,
put off paying tho poor girl who was
seeking to earn an honest living and
turn from her evil ways. But she could
not get her hard-earned money from this
lady patroness. Finally, in despair, she
had recourse to tho law, by the aid of an
agency of which I will write to yon, and
the prospect of an exposure, in the char
acter of a fraud, brought tho lady to
terms, and sho paid tho full amount!
And I have styled her the meanest wo
man in New York. If any one knows of
meaner men or women than they aro who
defraud in the name of charity, who do
wickedness under tho protenso of benev
olence, let them mention the facts, and I
will modify tho opinion.
A Negro Killed.
On the night of tho 23d of March, a
daring and impudent negro was found in
tho bedroom of the daughters of Mr. S.
n. Curry, a highly respectable planter
in th<i eastern portion of the county.
The young ladies discovered him at a
late hour of tho night sitting on the foot
of their bed. They screamed in great
terror, but before their father could reach
their room, the black scoundrel made his
escape. He was arrested next day, and
upon preliminary investigation was com
mitted to jail. But while he was being
convoyed to this city for tho purpose of
being turned over to the sheriff, he suc
ceeded in making hi3 escape by cutting
jthe rope with whieh ho was tied. Noth
ing more was heard of him until the
night of tho 27th, when he again forced
an entranco into Mr. Carry’s honse.
When he was discovered ho had a danger
ous looking kmfo open in his hand, and
manifested a devilish determination to
stand his ground. Ho resisted arrest
with a drawn knifo in his hand, and du-
g tbo excitement that prevailed some
ono shot and killed him instantly. An
inquest was held and the jury returned a
verdict that deceased was killed by some
one unknown.
That tho black villain was killed is no
wonder. The only wonder is, that the
exasperated friends of the young ladies
did not hang him when ho was first ar
rested. We believe in law and order and
deprecate anything like violence and law *
lessness, but when a blaok scoundrel at
tempts an outrage upon a respectable
young lady we know of no court belter
suited to his case than that of- Judge
Lynch. Hanging or shooting i« too mil 1
a death for such ingrates. They should
be burned at the stake.—TusEaloosa Times.
A Liberal Man.
New York Sun.)
Gen. Schenck describes his friend and
patron Park as a “liberal and gen
erous man.” But that is no name for it,
Gen. Schenck. Park is a sublime phi
lanthropist who towers head and shoul
ders above all merely liberal and gener
ous financiers. Just recollect what he
did for you at a time when your luck was'
running bad and you wero holding hands
that had no money in them. He fairly
fcrced into your pockets $50,900 of stock,
lent yon the money to pay for it and
charged you no interest, overwhelmed
you with dividends which the stock had
never really earned, and when tho time
came around fer the final settlement in
sisted that yon owed* iiim $30,000 less
than yon thought you did- This was
too much magnanimity for even you to
swallow, audyoupaid up your obligations
like a Major-General, transferring to
tho whole souled Park the sum of $33,700
in the following shapo:
“Cash, $1,700.
“Certificates of stock in the Vermillion
Coal Company of Illinois, tho National
Insurance Company of Washington, and
other companies to the amount of $32,000.
'Promissory note of M. Woodhnll for
$3,000, endorsed by Schenck.”
Nd wonder you consider Park a liberal
and generous man, Gen. Schenck. This
surely benevolent financier must have
inown that Vermillion Ceal Company
certificates aro not worth a continental,
that the National Insurance Company of
Washington is Boss Shepherd’s exploded
concern, and that the note of Woodhnll,
endorsed by Schenck, is paper, tho mere
sight of which would mako any sane
banker shudder. No wonder, we repeat,
that you aro grateful to Mr. Park. He
has been kinder than an undo to you.

The Mature Senator and His Frelfy
Yenag Wife.
From the Indianapolis Newj.J
To tho sketch of Christiancy should
have been added one of his wife, the pret
ty Treasniy clerk. . I called to see her
with some friends on her reception day.
We found her in one on the oldest honses
in one of the oldest streets, 310 Indiana
avenue, N. W. We ware told that Mrs.
Christiancy was at home, and were ush
ered into a dingy little parlor on the
first floor, where wo were kindly received
by an old gentleman who presented us
in these words: “My wife, Mrs. Chtis-
tiancy.”
She is a pretty little dot of a woman,
and, upon my honor, looked as pleased as
he did. Withal, it was impossible to
realize she was his wife. He mnst be
half a century her senior, and although
a spry oil man, wonld be taken for no
nearer relative than grandfather. She
is not yet out of her teens, is petite, bnt
not slightly bnilt, being os dimpled and
plump as a baby. Her hair is auburn,
and, worn in a simple braid hanging
down her back, added to her yonthfal
appearance. She was dressed in a plain
brown silk gown, cut very high in the
neck, and with long sleeves. She is ex
ceedingly fair, and the throat and chin
were nestled in the soft foils of the rich,
creamy lace now so mnch worn. A fall
of the same kind o! lace concealed the
short, fat hands, upon which there were
two plain gold rings.
The modest dress did not conceal the
outline of a well-rounded arm and su
perb bust, and the question in my mind
was how long would it be before she
would appear in society in the scanty
costume which here prevails to the envy
of women and tho admiration of men.
For the old man’s darling has a beautiful
figure and face, and her complexion is
perfect. It is pure and fresh, in contrast
with dark eyes and hair. Such clear
brown eyes I hare not seen in -many a
day, and they have an appealing expres
sion which ono cannot resist. A dimple
in the left cheek and another in tbo
chin complete the charm of the face.
The mouth is only pretty when closed.
It will be fairer to view when care shall
have given length to the upper lip. This
is cruel to say, but in the nature of cause
and effect there is many a heartache for
her.
In conversation sho is agreeable, and
her manners are quiet and self-possessed.

The Parlors that the Imperial Party
will Occupy m New York.
Now York Sun.)
Dom Pedro II., the Emperor of Brazil,
and his Empress, now jonrneying toward
this city, have a goodly retinue. In it
are the Grand Chamberlain of the Bra
zilian imperial court, a gentleman in
waiting, a maid of honor, a physician,
private secretary, a treasurer and seven
domestics. The imperial party will ar
rive in this city on the 17ch. The entire
parlor story of tho Twenty-third street
wing of the Fifth Avenue Hotel will he
in readiness for them. The Emperor and
Empress will occupy the parlors and bed
room nearest Broadway, and their retain
ers will range in the order of their official
nearness to the imperial persons toward
Sixth avenuo. Thero are six parlors in
the suite. The gentleman’s parlor is to
be the dining room for the imperial vis
itors, and their more exalted attendants.
The suite is now occupied by Gen. Wil
liamson and family, Mias Calhoun, Dr.
Gray, and a member of the firm of Col
gate & Co., soap makers. It was occu
pied by the Princo of Wales during hi3
visit to this city. During the Emperor’
soionrn in the Fifth Avenue his treasurer
will be required to disburse about $2500
week. The coach in which the aider-
men intend to take the Emperor and
Empress through the streets is exhibited
daily before a Broadway carnage factory.
It resembles the royal stato coaches of
Europe, but has less gilding than most of
them. The hammer cloth hears a golden
crown. •

Bell.—Thero are some facts ahont
Bell’s history which have been overlook
ed by jonrnals friendly to the Adminis
tration, in their haste to denonnee him as
totally diisreputable scoundrel. The
Pittsburg Chronicle has been puzzling
over the subject, and, good Republican
paper as it is, it feels moved to say: “Bell
may be a scoundrel, utterly unworthy of
credence, hut ho produces some strong
certificates. When a man prodaces writ
ten testimonials from such men as Gens.
Grant, Shorman, Dodge, Hardie and
Hurlburt, only tho testimony of Hurl-
burt, Hardie, Dodge, Sherman and Grant
can overthrow them. And that is the
clamp Bell has put on his eminent de
tractors. They aro in the position of
men who, if they pronounce Bell a rascal
on general principles, must admit that
their certificates are sometimes not worth
the paper they are written on.”
An Insult,—A World Washington
dispatch says the Southern rpembers of
Congress feel that the appointment of
Boutwell os chairman of Morton’s Mis
sissippi Outrage Committee i3 a direct
insult to the South, as the witnesses
which they must of necessity examine
are tho very men whom Boutwell de
clared in the Senate to be, in his opinion,
liars and unrepentant rebels. The com
mittee are uncertain when they will
start, as the contingent fund from which
their expenses must he paid is exhausted,
but expect to get away the latter part of
next week.
Save the Sims.
The boys of the city, white as well as
black, appear to havo instituted a cru
sade against the birds. They appear to
hold themselves under obligations to
'chunk” a rock, or fire-a pebble from an
Alabama sling at overy warbler that
lights within rock-reach. Nothing is
exempt from their warfare, which has
feathers and can fly and sing—not even,
the English sparrows which aro getting*
thick in tho neighborhood of tho First
Baptist Church.
Wo are satisfied that tho boys do this
without any idea that they aro commit
ting acts of cruelty or are doing harm to
tho community. In most cases they
havo not been taught any better,—have
not been taught that birds aro a protec
tion, and that it is a wrong and a down
right cruelty to slay them, for no good
purpose at all.
Boys aro nob to blame for this
much as their parents. If, at their
homes, they wero taught that the birds
have a right to live, that it ia cruel to
pelt them with rocks, that they are a
protection ns well as an ornament,
wherever they abide, that without them
insects would increase and multiply until
they became numerous enough to de
stroy all green things—if tho boys were
taught this, w<5 aro satisfied that the
•birds would soon have the freedom of the
city, and wonld he able to soar and sing,
with no fear whatever of injury at the
hands of any one.
We present thi3 matter to the atten
tion of those who have charge of yontb,
and beseech them to use their influence
for the protection of the bifds. They,
alone, can effectively restrain the boys
and give the warblers exemption for con
stant jeopardy in lighting on a gate post,
or pausing long enough to devour a spi
der or a caterpillar. We hopo the people
will think of the matter, and teach tho
hoys the better lesson of kindness to all
things—that humanity is one of the fin-

I suffered for several years from
asthma, and from some affection of the
throat, resembling bronchitis. After
spending a great deal of money on va
rious medicines, with no material bene
fit, in March last, on the recommenda
tion of Mr. F. Peters, of this place, I ob
tained Dr. Jayne’s expectorant. After
taking two bottles of this remedy I found
myself so much relieved that I continued
taking* it until I used seven bottles, and
by this time my symptoms had all dis
appeared, and I havo every reason to be
lieve myself cared.—W. Baden, Catsprina,
