Bullion’s Bride • Let me see - where was it that I first met her ? Oh, yes, it was under the superb arches of High bridge, boating by moonlight, A globe of rediidi pearl pseefuled on/ of the Fast—the shadows of the g*sat ,b#dge renting on ,/he mirror r*e siirfac4-rtfdlie-HitdS on river, the sound of a flute played softly afar oft, and all of a sudden the keel of my boat came in contact with somebody else’s oars. "Hallo! cried out a clear incisive young voice. “W here are you go ing to? Why dout you l H ok. which wry you are llfPrfll/f'r “Charley Dresuen;’” cried out I little heeding the torrerts'obloquy he was beginning to heap upon me. “Old Mottimore,” he responded joyously. .“Why, who on earth would lmv<| thought of iiiidingyou dreaming on Hudson river. Here! come into my boat; hitch on your old craft behind art! let me intro duce you to Miss Sophy Adriauce.” I looked as sharply at Miss Sophy as the moonlight and my own mod jsty would let me, for I ktiew she was the especial admira tion of nay treind Charley Dresden- She was pretty, slight, round and rosy, with china-blue eyes, a dimple in eithou cheek, and golden brown hair worn in long looose curls. There was something flower-like and delicate in her prettiness—something uncon sciously ioq loring in her way of lilting her eyes up to your face. We rowed home together or, at least, as far on our way home us the 7/ndson river would take us. Sophy sang little boat ballads. Charley roared out tenor barcaroles 1 even essayed a German student song which I uaa learned in Heid elberg no cue knows how long "fid. and. wo partu.l a ''- m friends. A week afterwards Dresden and myself met face to face on Wall street. “Hallo, Motti uore ?” said Char ley his honest visage lighting up. “What do you think of her ?” “I thirk she is a peatl a jewel —a process among women !*’ I answered with perfect siecerity. “Congratulate me then !” cried Charley, beaming all over, “ for 1 am engaged to her ! Only last night. Look here,” opening a mysterious silver case which he took from his inner ves. pocket. “ IFhat d? yon think of /ha/ for an engagement ring f “A fine diamond,” said I, put ting my head critically on one side, “and fancifully set.” “We’re to oe married in October said Charley, lowering his voice to the mos/ confidential tone?. “It might have been sooner if I hadn’t undertaken /net business in Eueope for our firm. But I shall be ( sure, to be back by tbe first of October, -and the money I shall will be acceptable toward fitting up aud furnishing our new home. Because Motti more, I am not rich. I spent an evening with lier afterward at the genteel boarding hou-e where she and her mother —a nice, bright-eyed little woman, the full blown rose to correspond with Sophy’s budding lovliness— dwelt in the coziest of apartments furnished in dark blue reps, with turn-up bedstead, ingeniously disguised as s high backed sofa and canaries and geraniums in tbe windows •‘lt is so kind of you to come,” said Sophy with a gentle pressure of the baud when I went away. *</ am so glad to welcome Chorleys frionds,” Well Charley Dresden went away, and as he didu t particularly leave Sophy Adriance in my charge I didn’t feel called upon to present myself at the genteel boarding house, I supposed naturally enough, that all was going right, uutil one day I receivved a note from my old fiiend, Bullion the banker, a man of sixty, who wears a wig and spectacles, and counts 1 bis income upon the double figures. Bui.ion wrote from Saratoga I where he had gone because he didn’t know what else to do with I himself in the dull season, He asded me to be hie groomsman. OUR OWN SECTION WK l.Allorf FOR ITS ADVANCEMENT LAWRENCEVILLE, GA. JUNE 2 1885. Bullion was going to be married! “Of course you’ll think it a fooi ish thing for me to do wrote Bullion ; “but even at (JO a^* man has not entirely outlived the age of sentiment ; and when you ouce see Sophy AdnujcC you 'will for - give any seeming incoiuristoncy oiv my part.” I wer.l straight to fpe genteel 1 "fording house. It, wifs possible that 1 might be mislead'by a simi larity ol name, a't hough even that was unlikely*, “Ts' Miss Ad ranee as home ’ I asked the slatternly servant, tori who answered the bell “No sir. Miss Sophy’s spend inga tew weeks with some friends at Saratogo,’ she answered promptly. That was enough I went home and inclosed Bullion's letter in another envelope directing it to .poor Churlie Dresden's address, Route Rcstaute, Vienna, adding a few lines of my own wherein 1 endeavored to mingle consolation and phisopby as aptly as possible. And then I wrote, to old Bullion curtly declininiug to “stand up him,”. 7t was a few weeks subsequent ly that the waiter showed an ele gantly dressed young lady into my room at the hotel. I rose ir» some surprise. Aside from old Miriam Platt and my laundress, my lady visitors were few. But the ins tant she threw up ner thick tissue veil i recognized the soft blue eyes and Damask rose cheeks of Sophy Adrian. •‘Oh, Mr. Motti more !” she cri piteously, “I know you won’t mind my coming to your parlor, because you seem exactly like a father to me.” I winced a little at this. “But 1 have received such a lettei from Charley, and as—as you’ve known hjm for a long time, I thought perhaps you could ex pium it to me. Db, 1 have been so wretched. And indeed, iudeed, indeed, I didn’t daserve it!” She gave me a tear blotted 'et ter and then sat down to cry quiets ly in the corner of the sofa until such time as I should have fil'ish ed its perusal. “What does he mean Mr. Mot timore asked Sophy plaintively ‘‘when be accuses me of deceiving him, of selling my self to the highest bidder ? Oh, it is so dreadful!” I folded the the letter and look ed severely at her. “Miss Adriance,” said I gravely, it strikes me you are trying to play a double part here, i The as fianced bride of Benjamin Bull ion ought hardly to hope to retain the allegiance of poor Charley Ores den into the bargain “I don't understand you,” said Soph, looking wistfully at me. Are you not to become the wife of Mr. Bullion the the banker ? I asked, sternly. “Oh, dear, no," said Sophy. “That’s mamma! ’ “Eh ?” gasped I. “It’s mamma,’ answered Sophy. “She’s to be married next week ! D’dn’t yon know it 1” 1 started straight before me. Well, I had got my sets into a piet ty pickle by mcdling officiously in a flairs iliat didn't concern me. ‘ Look here, Miss Adriance,” said 1; “I will tell yoi all a l ‘Out it.’’ So I did- I described old Bul lion’s letter, my own false deduc tions there from, and the rash deed I had committed in sending /he banker’s correspondence toCharley Dresden. “And now,’ said I, ‘do you won der that he is indignant ?” Sophy’s face grew radiant. •; “But there’s no harm done,” said -hfe. “No real harm, 1 mean. Because I’ve written him a long le ter all about mamma and Mr. Bullion, which he must have re seived almost the next mail after he sent off this cruel, sheet of re proaches.” Sophy was a true prophet. There was no ‘real harm’ done. The next mail brought a letter full of entreaties to be pardoned, and a brief, brusque note to me. Lsiood up with old Ben Bullion, and that full blown rose, Sophy’s mamma, after all; and when Chars ley Dresden came borne I cut the big wedding cake ai bis marriage feast. A JUMP INTO ETERNITY. Nkw York, May Iff—Robert Emmett a professor of swimming, in Washington, jumped frtnn the Brooklyn bridge this afternoon, aud after beiog picked up by a tug b-»at which wa scrowd ed w/th persons who had been notified tliut he was to make the leap lied. Ho came to she city Ual Saturday and Cap., Paul Boy ton offered to wager SI,OOO that Adlum could accomplish the feat m safety, but no one teok the wag er. The man then determined to make the jump, even though no pecuniary gain was attached to it. Inspector Lyons learned of the determination and look steps to prevent the deed. Adlnin erased the bridge several /imej and de uLirea he could make the jtimp in Safety- Yesterday Captain Boy /on and a number of men about town went out in a tug boat aud stopped under the bridge. About this tima a cab drove over the bridge with a man dressed in swim ruing costume. The policemen on guard asked the man wha/ he in tended to do and he answered /hat he was about to jump off the bridge, As the officers stood talk ing a wagon drove up and the officers saw that the first man was only a decoy to attract their atten tion. As Ad!um jumped from the wagon and climed upon the girdle of the bridge balancing himself by the guy ropes, die many pedes trians on the bridge yelled, and one of tne policemen RUSHED TOWARDS THE MAN. Before he reached him, however, he jumped oft’. His body was rigid; with his left hand by his side, pud his right raised straight above his head, which was thrown back. Two-thirds of the descent his body began to curve. swoop of his arm Adlum a/tempt* ed to right his body, but unsuc cessfully. His feet struck tbe water flrst. with a splash that wus heard (JOn feet away. He was three and a half seconds in the air before striking the water. He sank out of sight, hut soon reappear ed. Boynton thew overboard a num ber of life preset vers and then went over hiruselt. Adlum was insensible when he cauie up. Blood and froth were oozing froui his mouth. The upper part of the right thigh was torn open, and the w iole of his left side was olack and blue. Restoratives were ap plied to hing, when he was taken on the tug boat. In a few minutes he opened his eyes and looked around. “Did I make the jumps ?” he ask d, and when answered, he queried : “A goed jump j” “Yes you did it nobly,” he was told. “(food ! Oh my God IV HACK IS KII.MNO ME,” he exclaimed, then he writhed in agony and his convulsions were such tha/ the byestauders were forced to turn away their eyes. The boat was turned towards /he land when an ambulance was called. Just as it arrived, how ever, Adlnm gave a convulsive gasp looked slowly around (and then died. Thd ambulance sui geon said death wa- caused by the rupture of au internal organ, pro duced by concussion. The police arrested everybody who was in the boat and they were discharged after their name s and addresses were taksn. “Who was that rang the bell, Jane?” asked the lady of the house. “The grocer, mum.” “With a bill, I presume.” “Yesuw..” “You told him to come next | week?” “Yesum.” “What did he say ?” “He said, mum. he had been here a dozen times already and lte wcuTdn’f come again, and to toll | you so.TSS ajt “How considerate.

On 1 ttbt Saiurday, a negro man about six miles noith of Madison while fishing in Baxter pond, was uorried upon seeing pendant from a bush which stood in the wa*er and what ne supposed to be /he leg of a man protruding fre m it. He left the place in fright, reports ed whet he had seen to seme white men who went with Dim to the place and his statemei t was veri fied. As a pedlar fron /ndianap olis Ind, Mcf/lure by name had been reported lost in this vicinity and as the family of Nelson Mc- Oall has been suspected of the murder these developements caused quite a sensation. Furth« er search lesulted in several On tier human bones and the coat, vest, shirt and other papers by which tlie temains were identified were identified were found in the pond. A runner was sent to town, and Justice Roberts notified., who summoned a jury and reparied to the scere. Arriving there the ilm jury was organized and the search for further evidence began. The circumstantial evidence al ready obtained was sufficient to warrant the arrest and incarcera tion of Nelson and his sons, Wil liam and Marshall as wi‘h them I the pirdJer was last seen alive, and they having an amount of goods known to have been the pedler's ol which their stories greatly dif fered. On Sunday the jury was again in session and have been every day since up this writing. aßd have examined 25 or 50 wit nesses, but what direct evidence has been adduced we've been nn. able to gather as the exanrnation has been secret. However, the general opinion seems to be that the pedler was decoyed into the dense swamp surrouding the pond I by one of the McCall’s and his ! skull beat in with the large end of a billiard cue which has been found concealed in the bushes near at hand. The murder was committed about the 22 of January last., and and as soon as his presence was missed by bis partners in business a rearch was instituded resulting in tracing him to the house of the McCalls. As suspicion of foul play at once fell on them, the mat ter was at once reported to the grand jury for investigation but at no remains could be produced nothing was found by that body.

Ornofri, of 1812 Montgomery ave nue, a c ntortioniet and cirrus per former, was lodged in a cell yes, terday afternoon. Dr. Johnson was sent for t>y Ornofri. The messenger told him that a little girl war rery ill. The physician found the child dead, and there were marks of Hows on bar body, j Dome of the neighbors saw Orno fri strike the girl with a shovel on the day of her death. Her father, admitted it.' “Waii a moment,” he said, “and I will show' you.’ I Descending to the cellar, he reao- I peared with an old shovel, the! handel of which was broken oft" j Jhe blade was ragged and rusty. I Holding up the two pieces, he said: “I corrected her with this I yesterday, because she would not obey me.’ 1 “ understand that you used otb j er implement to correct the child,’ said Clerk Donald, ,‘Ob, yes, I will shew you,’’ re plied Ornofri. and, diving into the cellar, again he eappeaied with a heavy strap about three fee/ long and an inch and a half broad, and a long rope, the ends of which were oiled with hard knots. Hold ing up these two instruments of tortue, he said coolly; “I have sometimes used these for correct-1 ing the children. A father has a right to correct his children ” Then he was taken into custody The examination of the child’s body shows that the tittle fram s was seamed and scarred with welts and cuts from the top of her h»a<s almost to the soles of her feet.' Many of the wounds looked as though they had be*>n inflicted by lashes from the knotted rope or the strap, but several ugly cuts had /he appoorance of having been tl,o /.V Ik. -ko. el. The body was almost blood, less, and the physicians concluded that the many wounds had drains ed the veins cf more than half of the life fluid. Immediate death was due to hemorages of the brain and this is supposed to have beeu caused by a blow on the head. The stepfather said he beut htr for the purpose of breaking her of bad habits.

Public expectation was not doomed to disippointment. The ‘Angel of the Lord’ made his ap pearance. He was dressed in white, and moved about, waving a prodigious- pair of wings with grace and precision. A great awe fell Upon the multitude. —lt, was the first appearanae of an ‘Angel of the Lord’in Utau, and the b’en tiles were overwhelmed with the solemnity of the occasion. But suddenly, while all eyes were bent j upon bun, the ‘Angel of tne Lord’ j approached the dizzy edge, and the next instant fell, if not from [ grace, from the bluff, and disap - j peared from sight in the flowing waters. In an instant, all hands went to the rescue, for it had sud denly occured to them that an ‘dngel of the Lord’ could no more fly with wet feathers than a jay bird, and very probably had net learned to swim. He was fished out nearly dead, and proved to be a locally prominent Aformom- Some of the ‘bad boys’bad purhed him from the bluff. GRANT’S MEMORY, AND DRY HUMOR. NL'his was 'in 1869. I went to Washington, and Senator Nye asked me if I would like to meet the President. *1 said yes, apd went to the White House. The Senator introduced ns, and I look ed at me. I didn’t have any/hiug to say, and it was the most awk ward moment of my life. Finally I stammered: “Mr, President, I am awfully embarassed—are you’” I didn't stop to her his answer, and I don’t know how I got out of the White House, but I met the President, anyhow. In 1879 I was in Chicago General Uraut had just arrived, and was to re view the Grand .4rmy of Tenues see—the first that he commanded, you know. A reviewing stand had been erected in front of /be hotel. The crowd was awful. It was the largest I ever saw I wanted to see tnat review, and with the old instiuct of the report er to shove himself where be bad no business to be, I edged through be crowd ami got on the platform' and there I was all alone facing that tremendous crowd. Present ly a man came out behind me. It was Carter Harrison, of Chicago. I knew him and he knew me. He looked at me and I looked at him. Right behing him was General f/rant?” -‘No,” 1 sail. “All right I’ll introduce you,” he said. I was embarrassed again when Mr. Har rison introduced us. “How do you do X' said General Grant. “I am not embarrassed - are you?’. A VALUABLE MANUSCRIPT. The university at Upsala has within its walls many interesting relics; among them the library is, of course, most fascinating to men of letters. ‘,Here one may liud two hundred thousand volumes, aud seuen thousand manuscripts.
