Many I’yatt rejected John K. Arnold’s offer of marriage for a long time, at Kim berly, Pa., but he was persistent, and at lengtii slur consented. There was a great wedding, aud the couple went off on a tour. After a week the bride returned to her home, declaring that she had no re collection of any thing between her last refusal of Arnold and her awakening to find, to her great surprise and displeasure, that she was iris wife.

The drifts were high around their hut on every aide, and it became evident tliat, as their stock of provisions was small, they must quick ly dig their way out or starve to death.

Tilden left his home at 15 Gremercy Park, and walked unattended to the polling place in Fourth avenue. It was in a plumber’s shop, between Nineteenth and Twentieth streets. There was no throng at the polls, but the few that were there recognized Mr. Tilden, and crowded around him as he stepped to the ballot boxes with a bunch of tickets In his hand. He un covered his head reverently and, as the inspector loudly asked him his name and residence, gave the requisite answer. “Tilden, S. J.,” shouted the inspector. The clerks looked over their books, re ported tliat the name had been duiy ro- cistered, and then the inspector unfolded the ballots and said loudly: “He votes all except the constitutional amendment.

ForHcsbands Only.—A correspon dent of the Baltimore Sun, writing from California says:- A cure for wife-whip ping was authorized by the last Legislature of Nevada. The authorities of Austin, a mining town in that State, have erected a whipping-post to punish summarily wretches who abuse their wives by blows, We wish it were practical to apply appro priate correction totlie no less unmanly tyranny of unfeeling exaction and cruel words by which too many husbands keep their wives in never-ending tonnent. l man had the brains he boasts he would speak ever kindly to the moib.-r of his household, if it were only for selfish mo tives. Make your wife happy by tender and affectionate treatment, and yon will make your home a paradise more precious than gold and costly mansions. We ad mire the Hindoo parable (and believe in its instruction) that describes a woman at the gates of Heaven praying that her naughty husband might be admitted. “He was ever kind and truo to me, ami if you would make me happy I must share with my husband.” Instantly the portals opened, and the angel bade h m enter ..Because of tby wife’s prayer thy sins are forgiven tbee.

Bacon to the office of Speaker of the House of Representatives in the Georg’a Legislature, was a graceful and felicitous act that reflects great credit upon that body. In view of the fact, too, that the Speaker was a pronounced member of the minority or Norwood party in the late gubernatorial canvass, It affords the pleas ing assurance of restored harmony in the ranks oftbe Democracy at this moment, when tbo result of the Northern elections has made more manifest than ever the su preme necessity for perfect union among our own people. When.the name of Hon. H. D. D. Twiggs was placed m nomination, that gentleman arose in bis seat and In an ad dress replete with patriotism and good feeling retired from the contest. Ho spoke as follows: Gentlemen of the House of Representa- tives: At the solicitation of warm .person al friends, I consented to become a candi date for the speakership of this honorable body. I know from the earnestness and interest exhibited by the friends of the re spective candidates, that the contest would be a splendid one, but I have hoped that it would not be characterized by discord among ourselves. I certainly intended to conduct it in a spirit of firmness and honorable rivalry. Recently, however, I find that it has evoked a sentiment of bit terness which 1 earnestly deprecate and with which I have no sympathy what ever. The harmony of the Democratic party in Georgia is, in my judgment, par amount to the consideration of any man’s ambition or the furtherance of any aspi rations. [Applause.] The intelligence has just been borne to us on electric wings tliat disaster has befallen the Democratic hosts, who had marshalled their squad rons in this their greatest struggle for con stitutional government. It is therefore more necessary than ever that we should not only preserve and protect the sover eignty and autonomy of onr beloved State from the assaults of power and the encroachments of a centralized despotism, but that we should invoke and encourage a spirit of concord and harmony among ourselves. If we will cultivate and promote this object, standing as we do fn the house that our fathers built, whose foundation is npon a rock, the storms and floods will beat upon it in vain. [Applause.] In consideration of these views, I have decided to withdraw from this contest, and in doing so I earnestly invoke a spirit of harmony and good feeling in our ranks. [Applause.] Let us then devote ourselves to the best interest of our grand old com monwealth, and she will move onward in the constellation of States to a higher de velopment of the proud mission to which she is called; the perpetuation of liberty regulated by the grand trinity of her polit ical faith—“Justice, Wisdom and Modera tion.” [Applause.] In retiring, permit mo to return my warm and siucere thanks to those friends who havo honored me witli their zealous and hearty support. [Applause.] Hon. A. O. Bacon, of Bibb, bad been previously nominatedhy Mr. W. L. Hutch ins, of Gwinnett. There being no other announcements, the House proceeded with the election of speaker forthwith, and Major Bacon was unanimously chosen on the first call of the roll, naving been conducted to the chair, ho said: Gentlemen of the House of Representa tives: I most sincerely thank you for this expression of your confidence in again calling upon me to preside ovei the delib erations of this house.

ELECTION ON SPEAKER. Mr. Hutchins, of Gwinnett, put the name ofHou. A. O. Bacon in nomlna-, tion. Mr. Warren Maze, of Richmond, nomi nated Hon. H. D. D. Twiggs, of Rich mond. Mr. Twiggs rose, and in an eloquent and forcible speech withdrew from the contest, basing his action on the ground that at this time the integrity of the Dem ocratic party was of more Importance than the personal ambition of any dtizen, that the race between the several candidates had engendered feelings of a hostile char acter among their friends, and that, there fore, in order to prevent any discord in the party, he would withdraw his name, with thanks to kts friends for tbeir good reeling and support. There being no other candidate in the field, the Hon. A. O. Bacon bad a walk over the course, and after a formal call of the roll, was declared duly elected by the General Assembly to preside over them as their speaker during the present session. speaker racon was elected by a vote of 163, and on mo tion of Mr. Anderson, of Newton, was con ducted to the chair by Messrs. Anderson of Newton, Twiggs of Richmond and Hutchins of Gwinnett. Upon taking the chair, Mr. Bacon made a brief address, tliaukingthe House for the honor done him. Considerable feeling of a severely ran corous nature was developed by the race lor speaker. The election of Mr. Bacon was opposed openly by the Executive and his friends, who supported Judge H. D. D. Twiggs, of Richmond ; but upon scanning the ground carefully they found that the op position could make no headway against Mr. Bacon’s popularity. A caucus in opposition to Mr. Bacon was held the night before the election, in which strong efforts were made to secure his defeat, but without success, as his election was assured before lie was nomi nated. Judge Twiggs withdrew as soon as nom inated, and Mr. Bacon went through the form of an election, receiving a unanimous vote. The election of Mr. Bacon to this im portant post of duty, which he has filled with such honor and dignity so many times, shows beyoud a doubt that the confidence the representatives of the peo ple have always reposed in the honor and impartiality ot your distinguished towns man has in no wise diminished. We congratulate “the Speaker” on his renewed accession to honor and office. election of clerk. Mr. Barrow, of Clarke, nominated for the office Hon. Mark. A.

It was in ’50, and Crowbar city was a collection of shanties and huts on Bobtail Creek, in Nevada. We were doing well enough, and the camp was peaceful and quiet. Slathers Johnson was the laziest miner in the camp but was looked up to as a great politician. Back in the States lie had been constable, overseer of highways, tax col lector, school inspector, ami so on, but yet his hankering was not satisfied. It was finally decided that Crowbar city be divided into eight wards, and tliat each ward be entitled "to one alderman, while a mayor, treasurer and clerk should be elected at large. There were about four huts or tents to a ward, with a constitu ency of from five to eight persons for each alderman. “Howshall we proceed to elect ?” bland ly inquired Slathers as he remounted the barrel. There was a dead silence for a minute, and then Raccoon Bill of the bloody sixth ward, threw his hat on tlie ground, pulled iiis shooter and blandly inquired: “Ari thari any buzzard hero from my ward who don’t think I’d make a howlin’ old alderman? If tiiar’ ar 1 , let him edge up tliis way for about ten seconds.” No one edged and Raccoon Bill was declared tlie unanimous choice of the electors of bis ward. Several others elect ed themselves in the same off-bamf man ner, aud there was no trouble until Blue Clay Smith said he thought he could rep resent the eighth ward about as well as any other resident vulture. If not, why not? Three resident vultures at once stepped forward to contest his election, and there vas a four-handed fight which lasted ten minutes and decided the elec tion in favor of Cross-Eyed Turner, of Ohio. Slathers was then elected mayor by acclamation, as were also the other general officers, ami the largest hut in town was cleaned out for a meeting of the common council. The eight aldermen sat on the ground in a circle, and the mayor sat in the cen tre on a bag of meal and opened the ses sion by saying: “Has any alderman any motion to make?” “I’sposo amoshnn that this ’ere lion- orablo body provide itself with a bar’l of whisky at tho expense of tlie city would be in order,” remarked the alderman from tlie third. “Not by adumed sightl” bawled ono of the crowd at the door. “Order! order! or I’ll bust a dozen heads out there!” shouted the mayor. “See here, old boss, hain’t you puttin’ on a heap of style fur the fust meetin’?” asked the alderman from the sixth, as he leaned forward. “There’s a moshunpendin’!” answered the aldermtfu from the third. “Which’ere motion is as fullers!” re marked tlie alderman from the first, as lie hit the chap from the sixtli on the car. There was a little performance of “eight hands around and mayor in the middle,” and it was fifteen minutes before order was restored. Then tho alderman from the fourth shoved ids bitten finger into his pocket, and said: “My constituents, who ar 5 among tlie heaviest tax-payers in tho city, believe tliat the price of washiu’ Is too blamed high, and they demand—” “When did you ever have any wasliin’ done?” demanded tlie alderman from the seventh. “Git tho drop on him, Bill!” yelled a man at the door. . •»’*• ! " - “Order! the mayor commands order!” shouted Slathers. Three shots were fired, four or five al dermen knocked down, and when tlie cy clone passed everybody had his shooter on bis knee. “When interrupted, we war* about to take up the order of unfinished business,” remarked the mayor, as he nursed his bit ten ear. “I move that we adjourn.” •‘Adjourn bn blowed.” “Question!” “Ayes and noes!” “Order!” “Some onery coon out thari lias kicked my dog!” said tlie mayor as the yelps of tlie canine rose above all other sounds. “ Sot down, you old he-wolt!” yelled some one, and then the light was upset, and the circus began.

Tho gentleman says he rode many thousand miles Iu tlie car or apartment assigned to tlie messenger, and was made familiar with his duties. He is Ilia own reliance, and cannot, as clerk, call to Ills assistance, at any time, those around him. He is the custodian of valuable property or money in transit, its watchman, and is responsible for any actual loss or for damage resulting from the careless handling of a package. He must always be on the alert, watching every ‘stranger, or railroad employe who opens his door or passes through his divis ion of tlie car, for lie has no right to be stow full confidence on any one outside of his own superior officers or immediate as sistants. At each station where the train may stop lie must, in the quickest time, both deliver, receive and receipt for pack ages of value and beheld by his signature, lie is also bU own clerk, keeps his own accounts, and this while tlie train is in motion, for he must be ready for the next station and tlio homo office. Then again lie is more exposed to danger than other employes, and I do net refer to the risks of temptation, but to personal haz ards, such as a man is always encounter ing who is supposed to be in charge oj treasure, and who rides day and night on trains filled with passengeis of all grades aud classes; but lio must be sitspicious and keenly watchful as well for ills per sonal safety as that of the property ho guards. It should be added to the honor of this largo class of young men in our country tliat they have justified the confidence reposed in them, not only by their superior officers, but also that of the whole public. They are a great credit to tlie hard working men of this age, add to the education and institutions of th'ff nation. Their training and daily life en courage exact habits, the prompt dis charge of duty aud obedience to authori ty; and, here let me remind them that no man ever learned to rule" tvdll until he first learned to obey well, and there is always a great satisfaction in rendering obedience to a wise law or a just master.

There is in fact as much uncertainly beforehand about the outcome of such struggle as there is about the fortune o! a battle. War is the arbi trament of arms, and an election is the arbitrament of votes. Both have their strategy, tbeir logistics, their grand and minor tactics; but foremost among their features of similarity is the doubtfulness of victory. The myth of Mars was a recognition of the superhuman element which, whether we call it Necessity or Providence, controls and overrules the combats of armies. Is there not in the fight of political parties at- the ballot boxes a like occult, superior power tbat determines the result, so tbat the voice of the people becomes, in the highest and tru st sense, the voice of God? It is a pleasant but fallacious theory that the machinery of sutlrage U a means or ascertaining the popular will. Practi cally it is often far otherwise. An ideal election, on anything like a large scale, is an impossibility. Our actual elections are vitiated, to a greater or less degree, in the first place, by the bribery, corrup tion, uudue persuasion, intimidation or deception of voters. While the voting Is in progress there are false personations, repeating and other kinds of fraud in the matter ot depositing the ballot,. When the polls are closed there is lalse counting of the votes. Then come doctored or forged returns. Not infrequently there is a rascally revision by returning boards that additionally falsifies the supposed popular verdict. These considerations are enough to show tbat the presumed end of getting at the will of the people is not really attained. ■ Our plan, however, of deckling who shall hold the offices and what policies shall prevail is, with all its imprefectious and abuses, the best perhaps that could be devised. It does not assure the success of tbe party wblcb is numerically the strong est, for a minority lias sometimes carried our national election, while our local con tests very often turn out adversely to the wishes oftbe majority. The comparatively modem device of re quiring only a plurality of votes to make a choice is of itself, so far as it goes, an abandment of tlie principle tbat a ma jority should rule. The whole question is, in fact, one of mere convenience. Tbe system of Ircqucnt elections saves us from tbe peril of revolution. These elections arc a method of effecting changes in the men who admin ister tlie government and in the measures of administrative policy. In practice they amount to little more than would the pe riodical drawing of lots to see which side shall win, and the results are equally for tuitous. For the lack of any better sys tem we must worry along with the pre sent one as best we can. Some consola tion may be found in tho conviction, for those of us who entertain it, that Provi dence will someltow help us to pull through, aud that in the end tlie seeming evils we are called on to oudure may be adjusted to tbe general advantage.—Phil- adetphia Record. Compressed Women. A New York correspondent of the Cin cinnati Enquirer says: Iu one large dry goods store I counted among the corsets eleven different kinds tliat were warranted to make women’s bodies shapely without pain. That prom ise was variously worded, but in every case it was a delusive snare. The waist cannot be squeezed without hurting. Whether the hones of a corset run per pendicular, horizontally or diigonally, they are bound to be uncomfortable if they condense tbe wearer too much, the assertions of manufacturers to the contra ry notwithstanding. I wear a corset, bear in mind, and therefore know what I atn talking about. There is no occasion just now, however, to raise a cry on this subject, for too tight corsets are tho exception. Some women are foolish enough to dangerously compress their vitals for tho sake of un natural slenderness, but fashion does not require it. As they are now generally worn, corsets are more a comfort than otherwise. Women with much flesh ou tbeir bones would not like to do without them. Tlie present evil practice in tills direction is that or forcibly flattening the bosom. Time was when roundness there was something to bo proud of, auu was artificially produced it nature had not been bounteous; now flatness is considered de sirable, and is often attained by wearing corsets high, stiff, and binding in front. Tliat this folly is perilous must be appa rent to every sensible person. In proso as well as in poetiy, tlie female breast is susceptible, and will not bear hard usage. There is much ingenuity expended on cobsets. About no other article of dress is a fashionable woman more finicky. That is why dealers are compelled to keep so many kinds in stock. But women who can afiord it have their ccrsets made to order, often paying as high as $25 lor a plain, though carefully fitted, one. Those who demand of their dress-makers tbat their bodices shall fit like a glove, without a wriukle or a strain, must consent to wear corsets always of the same size and shape. Otherwise, a perfect fit onr time will not be so at another. Mauy women are so soft and plant that they can be shaped by .a corset to almost any desired figure; but having choseu a model, they must stick to it, or alter their dresses with every change of stays. Formerly, when skirts were voluminous, it did not matter what the corset was like below tho waist line; but now, witli skirt3 lying flat over the hips and abdomen, the outlines of tho entire trunk ore of importance. This has led to tlie extension ot corsets downward, until women who are at all round are commonly encased from shoulder to log. Tlie corsets displayed in the stores with their ribs of bone and metal, look’ like rows of ancient armor. The length ening is a .good thing, because it equalizes the pressure aud prevents a girting in of the waist alone. Some of the corsets made to order by really skillful artists arc wonderfully clever productions. They are constructed after the most careful and elaborate measurements, and with a view to improving tlie wearer’s figure.

There is no question- tliat much suffering would he spared cattle if they were not allowed to see cacli other slaughtered. Not easy is it to conceive the kind of torture they feel and cannot express. How observant are animals is proved by a case which came under my own observation. Among the inmates of Riy house is a jackdaw, as lll-grainsd and vituperative a bird as ever accepted, under protest, human companionship and hu man attention. He prefers so distinctly sleeping In a cage where no enemy can as sail him while he is off his guard that lie is allowed to have his own way in tlie mat ter. One day, while lie was in tlie cage, some dead pheasants, which had just ar rived in a hamper, were placed beside him. His dread of these M as remarkable to witness. A bird whoso whole time was passed in defiance of things stronger than himself, in aggravating a mastiff tliat would not make two bites of him, or in pinching snrrepitiously the flamboyant tail of his arch enemy the cat when it came within reach of his cage, went at this sight into an ecstasy ol terror which could not be appeased until the uncanny objects were removed. What instinct caused this strange demonstration in tlie presence of death shown in one of its race, albeit so different a species, is not to be guessed. Much food for reflect iou ami ■peculation is, however, afforded.— Gentleman's Magazine. A Printkb’s Journey' Around the World.—A Scotch printer, without a penny in his pocket, arrived in Detroit one day last week, after a four years’ journey around the world. He sailed from San Francisco as steward of a ship bound for Tokio, but iu consequence of a quarrel with tbe officers was compelled to go ashore at tbe Sandwich Islands. After irons.

In this way be went up tbe Dan ube, and during tbe summer of 1S78 was a sailor before the mast on the Baltic Sen In the fall be traveled ou foot to Geneva and Rome, whence be sailed to Genoa, made his way to Madrid, and at last ar rived in l’aris ill March, 1879. After working as a printer in job offices several weeks, he earned enougit money to pay his passage to London, and in July sailed from Liverpool to Havana and then to Cliarleston, S. C., where ^ arrived about a year ago. Since that.time he has tramp ed through most of the Eastern States, and la now on his way to San Francisco. A Born Inventor. Somewhere about tbe year 1780 a trav eling mill-wrigbt, footsore, and with the broadest Northern Doric accent, stopped at Soho, the engine factory of Boulton A Watt, and asked for work. His aspect was little better than one of beggary, and Boulton bad blddeR him god-speed to some oilier shop, when, as he was turning away sorrowfully, Boulton suddenly call ed bun back. “What kind of a hat’s yon ye have on your head, me mou?” “It’s Just timraer, sir.” “Tinimer, me mon; iefs look at It. Where did you get it?” “I Just made it, sir, me ain sel.” “How did you make it?” “I Just turned it in the iathie.” “But it’s oval, molt, aud tlie lathe turns things round.” “Awee! I just gar’d tho iathie gang anithcr gate, to please me. I’d a long journey afore roe, and I thoebt to have a bat to keep out water, aud I badna muckle siller to spare, and I made me aue.” By his inborn mechanism tbo man liad iuvented an oval lathe, and made his hat, and the bat made his for tune. Boulton was not tbe man to lose so valuable a help, and so tbe after-fa mous William Murdock, the originator of locomotives and of lightning by gas, took suit and service under Boulton and Walt, and in 1784 made the first vehicle im pelled by steam in England, and with the very bauds and brain cuuning that had before produced tlie “tmimer hat.”—Bos ton Journal of Chemistry. ' - Falling From a Balloon. New 1 ork, November 1.—A dispatch from Paris to the Evening Telegram says a frightfu. and probably unprecedented balloon accident occurred last evening at Courbevole, near Paris. A large crowd liad assembled to witness the novel and perilous ascent of a gymnast called Au guste Kevarre, who, with inexplicable foolhardiness, liad volunteered to perform a number of athletic feats on a trapezo suspended from a Montgolfiere balloon named the Yidouvillaise. Rejecting the advice of bystanders, Navarre refused to allow himself to he tied to the trapeze. There was no car attached to tho balloon. At about five' o’clock tlie Yidouvillaise was let loose from its moorings, and rose majestically in the air. Navarre, hang ing ou to the trapeze, appeared quite con fident, and repeatedly saluted the spec tators. When, however, the balloon had reach ed a height of nearly one thousand yards the crowd was horrified to see him sud denly let go the bar anti fall. The tragic descent was watched in breathless excite ment. At last tlie body reached the earth, striking with such force that it made a hole in tire ground two feet deep and rebouud- ed four yards. It was crushed and man gled almost beyond, recognition. Mean while the balloon, freed from its human ballast, shot up with lightning speed aud soon disappeared from sight. Late in the evening it burst and foil at Mcnilmontant, much to the consternation of tbe inhabi tants of that busy Parisian quarter. The Whitehall Review thus describes the Empress Eugenie’s new English home: It is a substantial aud admirable speci men of early English architecture, the lower part of red brick with drcssin.zs and mullioued windows of stone, and the up per also of brick, but rendered over in ce- meut aud picturesquely relieved by pan els in leak. The whole building has a comfortable, home-like look; aud the eye rests content on the beautifully wooded and park-like grounds surrounding it. A couple of carriage drives, with corres ponding lodge entrances, leud to a hand some portico paved with tiles, tnrougli which you pass to the entrauce hall; be yond, up a flight of steps, is a stately inner hall or corridor. Here is the principal staircase, leading to a magnificent suite of reception rooms. Tho drawing-room is superb, and the outlook through its bay and triangular win dows is charming. Opening out of this stately saloon is a smaller and more cosy- one. The library is nearly twenty-five feet square. The domestic offices are completely shut off from tho inner hall; there are a largo kitchen, scullery, house keeper’s room, servant’s hall, pantries, dairy, storerooms, extensive ranges ol' cellars, with furnace and smoke-room for the hearing apparatus and batli-rooms. To get an idea of tlie marvelous complete ness and self-contained character ot the place, remember that all tbe gas used iu the house is made on tho estate, tbat water is supplied by steam power, aud that there are hvdrants both inside and out, in case of fire. There are pleasure grounds all round the house, some six acres of velvet lawn and emerald turj; lawns, flower beds, terrace walks, shrub beries, lawu tennis and croquet grounds, all in extreme good taste and skillfully planned. The park, which alone cov ers sixty-eight acres of ground, aud the woodlands have serpentine walks and drives; tlie timber is remarkably fine, and beside tho ordinary forest trees there are some specimens of very rare conifera:. Tlieie should he plenty of game, and as for fishing, there are ornamental lakes, with wooded hills, a boat-house and a fishing cottage, or summer-house, with a fireplace, so that in winter it will come in well for skating parties. A cricket ground is planned, so that there will be amuse ment for everybody. A kitchen garden covers three acres, abd there are green houses, vineries, peach, Camilla, cucum ber ami melon houses; and finally come a couple of three-stall stables, with six loose boxes, all most complete and spa cious, as well as tlie usual harness-room, coach-houses, a cottage lor the coachman and bedrooms for tbe grooms. An Historic Diamond Lily.—In a jewelry shop in Minneapolis, Minn., is beautiful ornament in tlie shape of a diamond lily. It is about four inches long, and has an interesting history. It, at one time, was ono-eighlh of the crown tliat Napoleon Bonaparte presented to ids sister Caroline at her marriage with the famous Yoachim Murat, “Lo Beau 5a- breur,” afterward King of Naples, and was made from spoils and contributions received after the battles of Eylau and Ansterlitz. Tills royal gift became the property of the ex-Queen or Spain, aud was sold with her other jewels in Paris at auction for 20,000 frauces, and bought by the Roumanian princess, Cleopatra, who died recently. At the sale of her effects tlie crown became the property of a New York diamond importing house, and was by them divided into eight por tions, ard has been sold with the excep tion or this piece. There are 123 dia- monds-of the first water in the lily, the center stone being a remarkable gem. It has been purchased by a Minneapolis gentleman for $3,000. ^ • Pond's Eztrset Not very long ago, a lady voluntarily called npon the editor of the Worcester “Press” and desired him to notice the fact that Pond’s Extract cured her of a long-standing Catarrh.

New York, November 1.—There was an unusual flutter among society people tins afternoon,occasioned by tbe marriage of Ulysses Simpson Grant, youngest con of General Graut, to Miss Fannie J. Chaf fee, only daughter of Senator Cbailee, of Colorado. Tbe marriage has been the subject of discussion among the elite of New York for some time past, and has been regarded as a social event. Tbe en gagement bas attracted especial attention, taken iu connection with Mr. Grant’s Cal ifornia experience, and has been exten sively discussed here and in San Fran cisco. The bridegroom is a lawyer of this city, who lias already won some dis tinction hi his profession and whose pros pects aie of the best. The bride is tbe only daughter of Senator Chaffee. She ia a blonde of tho fairest type, aged about twenty-two, shd has been a prominent belle in New York society since her in troduction here. Tbe courtship which has resulted m her marriage with Mr. Ulysses Graut is a little over a year old aud is described by the intimate friends of both as a match of pure love. The en gagement has existed nearly three months, and bas been thus early consummated on ly at the earnest solicitation of the bride groom. Two weeks ago the date of the cere mony was fixed for this afternoon and i% accordance with arrangements the cere mony was to be strictly of a private na ture. Rev. Dr. Newman was engaged by Mr. Gram ill person to perform tbe cere mony, which was in accordance with the Methodist modified form ol the Episcopal church. At four o’clock carriage lined the sidewalk between Fifth and Sixth avenues and tbe few selected guests wh<^ were to witness the ceremony were con gregated in the parlors of tbe Chaffee mansion, No. 28 West Fifth-eighth street. Tbpse comprised General Grant and Mis. Grant, Lieutenant Colonel Fred Grant and wife, Jesse Giant and wife, Senator Chaffee, Mr. and Mrs. Elkins, 1 Mr. and . Mrs. Hamilton and a few of the imme diate relatives and personal friends of Senator Chaffee. At 4:20 p. m. Rev. Dr. Newman entered tlie spacious parlors and was met at tbe folding doors by Mr. Grant and Miss Chaffee, the bridegroom ou the" right and the bride upon the left. Rev. Dr. New man occupied a position upon tbe left of the bride in front, and at the right and left were General Grant, Mrs. Grant, Mrs. Honore, Mrs. Elkins aud the remainder of the guests. Tbe ceremony included tho ring formula of the Episcopal church and was placed upon the finger of tbe bride by Mr. Grant, who made the responses in a clear, strong voice. Tbe bride was attired in a rich bridal costume, which elicited tbe admitation of all present, and she responded in a decided and comparatively unembarrassed tone. The wedding ring was of chased gold, with a diamond aud monogram, anu was a marvel of taste and costliness. After the ceremony an ele gant repast was served in the parlors, for- iiisbcd by Delmouico aud prepared for the sixteen guests who were iu attendance. The presents, which were profuse anl costly, were not displayed. The happy pair will probably make an extended trip to tlie West and Soiflb. To attend thia wedding General Graut has yielded his vote in Galena, 111., aud will not visit the West, as ho previously intended. A Vizit to the Garden of Eden. A couple of bouts’ ride over a most wretched bridle path, up and dowu rug ged mountain passes, brought us to this charming oasis called “Ehden.” The Arabs assured us this spot was the real Garden of Eden, and judging from the intense curiosity they evinced concerning ourselves and our traps, we bad no diffi culty in believing tills to be tbe gardqti where our first mother Eve dwelt ere she grew too fond of apples. ThisEdc-n is situated in a pret y little valley in the heart of the mountains, at an elevation of some 500 feet above the level of the sea. Water is abundant here, and consequently everything is green and fruit is plenty. Tho valley is full of vine yards, with pomegranates and fig trees, and olive aud Mulberry plantations, and overtopping the whole can be seen some immense walnut trees that look as old as. the world. As I am writing these lines, sitting ou a camp stool in front of my tent, I can see the whole population of Ehdenr collected round our camp staring us in the face. Young and old, men, women and chil dren, are pressing forward to have a good look at us; and some of these wild chil dren of Eve have climbed up the trees to have the luxury ota bird’s-eye view of our camp. Long before we reached our camping ground the news bad boeu brought that a caravan of people from be yond tbe mountains, and perhaps, oh, wonder! from beyond the sea, was com ing to camp in their oasis. The news spread like wild-fire among tbe tribe, and there was a general rush for tlie best places to see us come in aud get off our horses. The women left their work In the fields, the men left off playing on the reed-pipes, and the children left off crying to see us coming. Barnum’s circus arriv ing in a village “out West” never created such a sensation as we did on approach ing tilts earthly paradise. As we filed past this aule of human beings, we were greeted with shouts and mock salutations. The women giggled, tbe men smiled, tbe children roared at tbe queer figure we cut in our European costumes. Two ladies with us were made tho objecss of a very popular ovation. The green goggles which some of my companions wore seemed to raise the enthusiasm of the crowd to its highest pitch, and many a swarthy finger waa raised from among those Arabs, pointing to these green goggles, while the women called to each other and raised their chil dren in tbeir arms to make them eojoy the treat. Meantime my friends, quite un conscious of their gr$at popularity, did not know what to make of all this crowd. But, as we drew near the tents and I helped Mrs. E. off her horse, the crowd pressed so much on us tliat Halil and his men were obliged to drive them off, and to have ropes stretched around to keep the intruders out. Here, witli plenty of elbow room, I en joy the scene, which, indeed, is very pic turesque. When the excitement had somewhat subsided I strolled out to eqjoy tbe gorgeous sunset. The western sky was aglow with luminous tints of orange, pink and purple. This glow lasted but a moment, and all was hushed in the gray tints of evening. Later la the evening some young men and young women were admitted to our dining-room tent. These Arab women were dying with curiosity to see and han dle the clothes and trinkets of our lady friends. Velvet seemed to attract their attention and admiration more than anything e!s n , save perhaps our watches and gloves. The gloves especially seemed to puzzle them. The Countess took out her repeater and made it strike for them. They seemed delight ed, just as little children would be, with tlie sound of the tiny bell. Soms of these pretty Arab girls asked me, through our dragoman, it ali the ladies iff oar country were like the two that were with us. 1 told Halil to ask these girls what made them ask tliat question. They answered with a giggle and shy look from their roguish eyes: “If they are all so targe it must be a very hard work for the poor horses to carry them.”-— Chicago Alliance. Time Worth More Than Money— You have all beard the saying, “•Time is money.” If you were interrupting at his work a mason paid by the hour, or one of tlie young women in a factory who Is paid by the pieof, they might say to you, “Tim? U money; avory quarter of an tour you take up is the loss of so much money to us.” But time is more than, money, more costly and precious money cannot buy it—you cannot tell Its value in gold. And God has given, tn none, young or old, more of this costly article tb$u cadi needs, lie has mpivsur- ed nut to each just his needful portion, in which to do his work, and to lie owe lor eternity. What then, are we to Uiink of one who should, do with bis time what we supposed the workman to d° with Ida wages—throw tbe pne-hjlf sway?
