H., Aug. 31.— In the presence of the largest number of people ever gathered within an inclosed space in the State of 'New Hampshire, Miss Addle Brooks and Mr. James F. Boyd were united in rnarrige ;yesterday afternoon. Tlie nuptial knot was tied with the couple standing within a car trimmed with hiue and old gold plush, attached to a mammoth balloon, christened “City of Manchester.” Immediately after tlio completion of tho marriage cere inony, Mr. and Mrs. Boyd began their married life, “far from the maddening crowd,” by a voyage among the clouds. The Manchester driviug park was the scene of this most unique wedding, and the affair formed the great event of the Now Hampshire state fair for 1889. When the hour announced for the marriage and subsequent as cension in the balloon arrived, the crowds within the grounds numbered at least 30,000. A platform in the centre of the Taco track, upon which the ceremony was to be performed, was surrounded by a dense mass of humanity, pneked ns closely as sar dines in a box. Through this crowd, shortly before 3 o’clock a barouche vainly sought to make its way. “Make way for tlie bridal couple” was passed along the line. But it was impossible, to make way for anything in that dense nfnss, and only the brawny arms of six stalwart police men could make the slightest impres sion on the crowd. By dint of infi nite exertionthe carriage was brought to the-stand, and the bridal party stepper! upon ’the platform The bride was attired in a stylish traveling costume of drab, and carri ed a large bouquet of fragrant flowers. She is sliglitly below the medium height, with pleasing figure, light hair, blue eyes and fair complexion. She was born in New Boston in 1868, and is, consequently, 21 years of age. Her father and mother are both.liv ing, the former, David M. Brooks, being the village blacksmith of Bed ford. Miss Addic came to this city wliqn 10 years old, and has been em ployed in the mills for a number of years. She was attended by her sis ter, Miss Ida Brooks, as bridesmaid. Tho groom, Jamas F. Boyd, wore a black cutaway coat and vest and light trousers. lie was born in Manches ter, England, 26 years ago, but enme to this country when a child, sottlinc in Lowell, Mass., where hliKjnother now resides, lie came to this city two years ago, and is employed ii; the weaving department of the Amos kcag mills. He is an intelligent np- pouriug young man of medium height, with auburn hair, and recently pre pared himself for an aerial trip by becoming a member of court Mcrri- mac 6,462, A. O. F., of Lowell. Arthur Murphy of Lowell, officiated as his best man. With nover a trem or, but with a smile on her pleasant feature, the bride tripped gaylny to the white velvet-lined basket, attach ed 1 by its myriads of ropes, to the grout swaying mass above, Hho was assisted within tho car, and the groom followed her. The bridemaid and best man ranged themselves on cither side of the basket. Hon, Hiram D. Upton, speaker of the New Hamp shire House of -Representatives then performed the marriage ceremony, using the brief legal formula, Speaker Upton, nt the close of the ceremony, said: “You arc now to embark on a somewhat novel journey. You will rise toward the blue vault of heaven, and, as you look hack, you will behold the things of earth dwarf ed, its people shortened to pigmies, its trees stunted, its rives shrunken to brooks, its towns only specks on the landscapes. Perhaps, rising higher i^l, the whole view may be dissolved in distance or obscured by some wan dering cloud. In tho new relation you arc now assuming, may' you rise above and leave forever behind you the jealousy and the selfishness of hu man nature, and may the calm peace of the upper air, above winds and storms, be not mere Ferenc, nor the sunlight of heaven above the clouds not more bright, than the happiness of your future lives.” Hon. Herbert F. Norris, who with the remnant, Prof. J. K. Allen, com prised the only other passengers on the City of Manchester, stepped into the car and the word was given to let go the drag rope at precisely 3 o’clock. The huge balloon had been so evenly balanced that in tho light air moving it rose very slowly at first, amid the waving of thousands of handkerchief^’ and shouts of myriads of upturned faces. A small amount of sand was thrown out, and the great air ship moved upward with increasing speed, but majestically, until the. soft breeze had wated it over the southern section of the city, and was in view for a long time. The presents received by the bridal pair were many, and comprised gifts from nearly every business firm in town. The New Hampshire Agricul tural Society presented an outfit valued at 8200, and this was largely supplemented by other remembrances. In conversation Miss Brooks said the presents did not form any inducement to he married in so public a manner, but she had long desired to make a balloon ascension, and so gladly wel comed this opportunity. Prof. Al len stated that this was the third couple only who had ever made their bridal tour in a balloon, the first event of the kind occurring at Day- ton, O., in 1876, and the second at Providence, R. I., in 1888, when 35,- 000 people witnessed the ascension. The balloon used is a new one, of extra large size, capable of carrying 700 pounds weight beside the passen gers. It is 86 feet fiom tip to tip, and contained 45,000 cubic feet of gas. Tho balloon came down about 5 o’clock, landing easily and smoothly in the front yard of Gilman Plainer, Goffstown. The bridal couple alighted. should be quickly settled by the courts? Of course it is true that the ideal lawyer serves his client honestly and truly, looking out for his interest and not for his own fees. It is possible that a majority of the members of thp profession do this, but it remains a fact that under nuy sensible and just procecdurc, there is no need of 70,000 lawyers in the United States. The experience of other nations, where the administration of the law is far more perfect, shows this to be a fact. Of course, no authority can interfere and say how many men can enter the legal profession. This is a free coun try and every man has a right to set himself up as a council for his fellow citizens in their disagreements with each other ; but the government does owe it to the people that the daws be so changed that the decisions of the courts on disputed questions |and in criminal cases may be more promptly obtained. Tho legal machinery which produces results only after years of ef fort, and after exhausting everybody whose duty or interest it is to [keep it in motion, is very badly designed. Mr. Field discussed a very impor tant subject.—Telegraph. proverbialVhilosophy. THE ARIZONA KICKER. The Law’s Delays. The speech made by Hon. David Dudley Field at the meeting of tho National Bar Association in Chicago, is attracting much attention, because it deals on a subject in which there is a great deal of popular interest. In a general way, everybody feels that there is a need of reform in our legal procccdure, and especially a need of expediting the business of the courts. The principal complaint against our courts, is not that they fail do justice in their final decisions, hut that the final decision in almost ovory criminal easo above the grade of misdemeanor, and civil suit, can bo delayed indefi nitely, Justice is defeated ;by refus ing to her permission to speak, or her decisions deprived of value beciuup of the requirement that they ho repea ted again and again, each time at a great cost to tho litigants who appeal to her to sottlo their conflicting claims, Mr. Field pointed out a fact that may have much to do with the ineffi ciency of our courts. We have 70,- 000 lawyers in this country, whereas Franco 1ms only 8,000 and Germany 7,000, Tho proportion of lawers to tho population is in France, one to 4,7000, in Germany, one to 6,400 and In the United States, one to 900. One reason for this disparity is un doubtedly due to the fact that in this country the legal profession is the recognized preparatory school to a po litical career, and in no country is the ambition to figure in public life so prevalent. But to the lawyer, lit igation is a business, an it is perfectly natural that he should desiro to make the "most out of his .business possible, oan ho make most of litigation, which Gems of Wisdom for the Housewife and Her Worthy Spouse.

Painful Accident.—Together with about twenty other gentlemen we were sitting in front of tho Crook house fast Tuesday evening when the Tuscan stage suddenly drove up, hav ing unexpecedly arrived fifteen min utes ahead of time. One of the out side passengers had flic appearance of detective, and there was a sudden scatteration of loungers. It was laughable to sec Col. Jones, Maj. Wickarn, Judge Perdue, Professor Wise and others, tumble over each other as they broke for the brush. An unfortunate accident occurred iu this connection. Tlie Hon. Timo thy Snooks, late of Indiana, probably believing that lie had been sent for for barn-burning, or horse stealing, fell over a bench in his hurry to ab scond and broke his left leg, and it will probably he two months before he will be able to ho about again A Possible Mistake.—Col. Kcho Jones, who was pulled up to a limb by the boys the other night ns a warning that no snide games will he allowed in any gambling house in this baliwick, lias called at tlie Kick er office to protest that we were mistak en in tlie way we sized him up in our local columns. He showed us letters of recommendation from prominent parties in Washington, Philadelphia and New York, anil lie exhibited the Testament given him by his mother twenty-three years ago and worn over his heart ever since. We may possibly have been mistak en in writing this gentleman up as a forger, embezzler, bigamist and escap cd convict, and encouraging |thc boys to pull his neck as a warning. If so, we are very sorry. Tlie only way he can satisfy us of his integrity, is to frownupon anything like a skin game in this establishment in future. Sole Aoent.—Wc have been ap pointed sole agent in this town for the Kentucky hemp company, limited, and will he the only one handling their famous “No. 6” rope. This rope, as most of our readers arc aware, is made for and exclusively used as neckties for bad men. It will stand tlie greatest strain, run easier, fit tighter, and give more genera] satis faction than any other hanging rope in the market. • No matter what sort of a neck a man has, this ropo settles to the right spot at once. Wc sell it ill twenty foot lengths, and where more is wanted tlie price will he made satisfactory. Give us a call be fore purchasing elsewhere. There is One.—In answer to “Cor respondent” last week, who asked if there was a railroad line running through this town, we replied that if such a line existed wo had never heard of it iu the two years of our stay. We now desire to inform hjni that there is a line—a branch of the l - . P. road—and that it runs two trains per day and gives excellent ser vice. Tlie manager of the line, Mr. l!cn Davis, called at our office yesterday and handed us an annual pass over the line, and wc take pleasure in say ing that the cars arc of the best make, the fare reasonable, and that the line has done much to build up our town. Not Yet.—We have often been asked why wc did not establish a Dai ly Kicker, and many individuals have promised us their hearty support. In the first place we arc now running under one roof, a great week ly newspaper, a grocery, a feed store and a great hoot and shoe house, and wo haven’t much spare time, and in the second place when wc have money to throw away we’ll do it by establish ing a’sehool of philosophy for Indi ana.
