Washington, Dec. 14.—A grotesque
mob of human beings representing
nearly every condition of human life
gathered at Dowling's auction rooms
on the avenue to day. It was the oc
casion of the sale of articles remain
ing unclaimed in the Dead-letter office.
Long temporary tables were construc
ted of carpenter horses and rough
plank. On this cooling board were
laid out the various missives whioh
had miscarried, and were left as dead
stock on Uncle Sam’s hands. Human
nature was vividly displayed in its
natural bent to gamble on any chance
that might offer, ahd some of the
crow, who looketl almost as motley as
the crew of Comus, gazed with eyes
swelling full of anticipation, some
looking ns if they thought many of
tile bundles before them might con
tain a fortune. A little lady, decked
out with bright ribbons and jewels,
feasted her pretty eyes with prospects
of getting an inestimable solitaire
diamond, or a miniature coronet for
her wealth of hair. There was one
greasy-eoated, long-haired philosopher
present, who might have anticipated
some rare curio, or profound essay.
There were a number of speculative
individuals, evidently there on the
uiiike, and others whose looks denoted
many late nights at keno or faro,
whose love of hazard jumped at every
opportunity. There was a little
plnched-face lady whose countenance
indicated that she always believed
she would in some mysterious way
strike a streak of good luck, or inherit
a foreign fortune. 9ho seemed im
pressed that from the “dead letter’’
Iter hopes might be resurrected. With
the auctioneer as a central figure,
mounted on a chair behind the long
tables, and all faces turned up, there
was an interesting scene for tne phy
siologist. There was not a face in the
crowd that did not discover the fea
tures of hazard. The woman who is
always after bargains was quite promi
nent." Many of the bundles were
labeled, but the crowd was warned
that no suit of damages could be
brought against Uncle 8am for mis
representation. The curious and
mystic game of hazard in the auction
proceeded rapidly. The glib tongue
of the auctioneer rattled like beans in
a stray barrel rolling down a steep
hill. The packages were knocked
down so swiftly that the bidders were
kept as busy as a catcher at the bat.
Then the lucky one would feel the
package, eager to know what they
had struck, and steal away to open it,
and generally a long-drawn face fol
lowed. But" the old stager would
laugh heartily at the grotesque luck
that befell him. One stylish young
lady got a pair of short, heavy woolen
socks; another a pair of jeans , pants;
while a dude, as if fate itself had in
tended to be sarcastic, found himself
the possessor of a pair of corsets and
an unmentionable female garment
A very hard character got a book of
common prayer, and opened it at a
passage that invoked industry, when
the fellow wasa genuine never-sweat.
A. double-listed clod-hopper, with a
No. 16 foot, drew a pair of silk slip
per?, No. 1. A doctor received a
hatchet, as indicating that it was i
more merciful implement of death
than his medicine, and a very gabby
individual found in his package that
old worm-eaten chestnut, a miniature
skull and cross-bones in a coffin, with
the motto, “Talked to death.” An
old maid received a fortune book, witli
directions fot making love potions,
and a man with a big, fuzzy beard
opened a box of pometum, warranted
to make whiskers grow in three
weeks. The whole affair was a huge
oomedy, and well worth twice the
price of admission.
Young wives, who have old hus
bands. will be glad to know that a
New York physician offers to cure
snoring for ten dollars; but Dr. Bull’s
Cough Syrup will cure sore throats
and colds for twenty-five cents.
How to Make Hands Soft and White.
There are not nearly as many se
crets in hand treatment as people
imagine. A little ammonia or borax
in the water you wash your hands
with, and (hat"water just lukewarm,
will keep the skin soft and clean. A
little oatmeal mixed with the water
will whiten the hands. Many people
use glycerine on their hands when
they go to bed, wearing gloves to
keep the bedding clean; but glyce
rine does not agree with every one.
It makes some skins harsh and red.
Those people should rub their hands
dry oatmeal and wear gloves in
The best preparation for the
hands at night is the white of an egg
with a grain of alum dissolved iu it.
Quacks have a fancy name for it; but
all can make it and spread it over
their hands, and the job is done.
They also make the Roman toilet
paste. It is nierelj’ the white of an
egg, barley flour and honey. They
say it was used by the Romans in
olden times. Anyway, it is a first-
rate thing; but it is a sticky sort of
stuff to use, and does not do the work
any better than oatmeal. The rough
est and hardest hands can be made
soft and white in a month’s time by
doctoring them a little at bedtime,
and all the tools you need are a nail
brush, a bottle of ammonia, a box of
powdered borax and a little fine white
sand to rub the stains off, or a cut of
lemon, which will do even better, for
the acid of the lemon will clean any •

THE LAMAR-H0LT WEDDING.
A HAPPY SURPRISE FOR TEE
SECRETARYS' FRIENDS.
Only the Immediate Family Present
The Marriage Ceremony - A
Bit of Early Romance -
Congratulations Giv
en tke Couple.
Secretary L. Q. C. Lamar and Mrs.
General Will. 8. Holt were married
isterdav morning.
It 1ms been known to a few in Ma
con tbat the marriage would take
place sooner or later, but the exact
hour was not deoided upon until
Tuesday. The gossips had much to
way about the wedding and every
now and then there would be a whis
per that the marriage would surely
take place at this and that hour on
this and that day. The New York
World and other papers had It sever
al duys ago that it would occur the
next day, und telegrams were receiv
ed front the various papers through
out the Union asking for full uc
counts.
Yesterday morning at 8:80 o'clock
the carriage of Mr. and Mrs. W. II.
Virgin, of Vineville, rolled over the
snow-covered ground, and those of
the . neighbors who had rubbed the
frost-work from their window panes
saw the parties alight from the car
riage, and going through the falling
flakes, enter the residence of Mrs.
Holt on Orange street. At once the
suspicion was aroused that the long-
looked for marriage was about to take
olace, and this suspicion ripened into
jelief wheu a carriage containing
Colonel and Mrs. J. E. Jones rolled
up and the occupants entered the
house. The fact wne even more ap-
areut when Secretary Lamar and
frs. W. H. Ross crossed the street
and followed the others. Soon after
ward Maj. Ross and Dr. und Mrs. R.
M. Patterson joined the party.
At 10 o'clock the family assembled
In the parlor. In addition to those
named, there were Mrs. It. E. Park
and Master Willie and Miss Etta
Park. The minister, Rev. William
Park, brother of Capt. Park and edi
tor of the Sandersvllle Herald, took
his position in the recess formed by
the bay window in the parlor. Mrs.
Holt, dressed in a steel-gray Hilk and
wearing diamonds for ornaments, left
the sitting room, leaning on the arm
of Captain Park. They were follow
ed by Secretary Lamar, wearing a
dark wine-colored Prince Albert, link
ed arms with Major Ross. On reach
ing the hallway the party separated,
tlie Secretary stepping to tho side of
of Mrs. Holt. The two then walked
slowly forward, pausing in front of
the minister, who said:
“Dearly beloved: We have assem
bled before God, und these witnesses
to join in bonds of holy matrimony,
according to God’s ordinance, Mr. L.
Q. C. Lamar and Mrs. Henrietta Dean
Holt. If any present know any just
reason, why they should not thus be
united in wedlock, let them uowspeuk,
or hereafter forever hold their peace.
Please Join your light hands. Mr.
L. Q. 0. Lamar, will you take the
lady you hold by the right hand to
be your lawful, wedded wife, will you
love, honor and keep her through
sickness and through health, and for
saking all others, will you cleave to
her only so long as you both may
live?”
The groom responded, “I will.”
The bride was then addressed:
“Mrs Henrietta Dean Holt, will you
take the gentleman you hold by the
right hand to be your lawful, wed
ded husband, will you love him and
help hint through sickness and
through health, and forsaking all
others will you cleave to him only so
long as you both may live?”
The bride assenting, the minister
then said; “I pronounce you man
and wife. Whom God hath joined
together let no man put asunder.”
The following prayer was then of
fered;
“Now may the blessings of that
God, who instituted this holy ordi
nance, rest richly upon these persons,
who have mutually pledged their love
and fidelity to each other. May they
ever seek the guidance of His coun
sel, and of the spirit of all truth and
grace. Should the clouds of adversi
ty ever hover about their pathway,
may they remember that God has a
strong position, where ho makes his
saints abide. Life’s duties done, may
they at last, and their friends who
wish them so kindly to-day, bo re-uni
ted at the great marriage of the
Lamb; and to Thy great name be all
the praise, now and evermore. Amen.”
The minister was the first to extend
his hand in congratulation. He was
quickly followed by Mrs. Park and
Mrs. Virgin, tlie two daughters of the
bride.
The wedding [tarty then repaired to
tlie dining room and partook of
champalgue, cake and fruit, the
bride presiding with her accustomed
grace.
At two o’clock the family dined, the
party being augmented by the addi
tion of Col. A. R. Lamar of the Tele-
During the day numerous
friends and neighbors called to ten
der congratulations and when the
news of the marriage had been Hash
ed to the evening papers elf the Un
ion, telegrams congratulatory were
received from every quarter.
Secretary and Mrs. Lantar left yes
terday afternoon at 5:20 by the Cen
tral road, for Atlanta for the purpose
of spending tho evening with (tov.
Gordon. Their purpose is to take
the train this morning for Oxford,
Miss., to visit Mrs. J. B. Ross, sister
and Mrs. Mays, daughter, of the Sec
retary. After ft few days sojourn in
Oxford, where the Secretary has a
farm, they will proceed to Washing
ton.
THEIR EARLY COURTSHIP.
Much fiction lias been indulged in
by sensational newspaper correspon
dents as to the early romance of the
Secretary anil his bride, so much so
that it is necessary to tell the true
B story. It is true that he and Mrs.
Coughs, Colds, Asthma, Bronchitis, Croup, i jj 0 j£ were a t one time young aud

this brief and youthful engagement
had terminated, Mr. Williams. Holt,
who, by tho way, was never a rival
of Mr. Lamar, ns has been often statj
eil, addressed her and she became his
wife. About the same time Air. La
mar married Miss Longstreet, who
was one of the most attractive and
loveliest voting ladies in Georgia.
This is the whole story of tho early
courtship and tho engagement, and
the Secretary says all that has been
published or will be published so far
as relates to that event is a pure fab
rication. Col. Deun, the father of
Mm. Holt, became the main political
and personal friend of young Lamar
and remained so until the latter
moved to Missisippi, where he enter
ed upon his well known public career.
Last April the Secretary met Mrs.
Hblt, while on a visit here, for the
first time In jnany years. He called
upon her several times. He also visi
ted her last summer while site was
summering in the White Mountains
and again in the fall when she was in
New York. He next met her on his
recent visit to Macon, arriving here
nearly two weeks ago.
THE CAPTURE OF MOSBY.
The Story as Told by the Cavalry
Leader to a Boston Reporter.
Col. JolinS. Mosbj’, the noted Con
federate cavalryman, recently lectur
ed in Boston, and while there gave
the following report of his capture by
the Federal troops:
“The boots which the Herald like
ness represents me as wearing are the
very ones that Frazer’s men pulled
off my feet when they captured me.
The Way of it was this: Maj. Frazer’s
men hod just gone into camp, and
I sent oouriers in every directions
summoning my men to rendezvous at
a certain point, from which I propos
ed to move and attack Frazer’s camp.
As he had just gone into camp, I had
no idea that he would be on the move
so quickly as he was. Accompanied
by one man, I rode to the house of a
man named Iiake, about a mile from
Frazer’s camp, for the purpose of get
ting a cup of coffee. As we readied
the house ray man offered to hold my
horse while I went In for my coffee,
but on my order he dismounted and
entered the house with me. It was
just after dark. We passed into one
of tho rooms, and our party then con
sisted of myself, my soldier, another
gentleman and a lady. I was dressed
in my usual manner," the stars on my
coat collar indicating my rank. Sud
denly Maj. Frazer’s men were seen
coming along the road too near to en
able me to mount my horse and es
cape. As tho Union soldiers approach
ed they saw our two horses standing
by, and immediately they surrounded
the house. I was standing near a
window. A lighted candle stood on
a table near by. As the soldiers ap
proached the nouse one of them took
aim and fired at mo through the win
dow. The hole made in the glass by
the bullet is there to-day I have
been to the house several times since
the war, and the man who now occu
pies it says he would not take $1,000
for that pane of glass. Well, the bul
let struck me on the left side of the
abdomen, and passed around in front
to the right side. In the confusion
that ensued, tho candle light was ex
tinguished. 1 walked into an adjoin
ing room, in which stood a bureau.
I took off iny uniform coat and threw
•it under the bureau. I then lay down
on the iloor and awaited events, my
outside garments being my boots,
pantaloons and a blue shirt. The
Union soldiers entered the room, and
the first thing they did was to null off
my boots. Subsequently Maj. Fra-
zar arrived anil asked my name. I
gave him a fictitious one. 1 was in
terrible agony, but I could not help
laughing when a soldier, on examin
ing the wound, said in a pitiful tone,
“Poor fellow, he’s shot entirely
through the heart.” Locating ray
heart, in my abdomen was too funny
for a man, even wounded as 1 was, to
resist laughing at. I acted my part
so well that I succeeded in concealing
my Identity, and shortly afterward
the Union soldiers left the house.
They had been gone but a short time
when some of my own men came up
and bore me away. Subsequently I
had the bullet extracted, and my
daughter now has it in her posses
sion.”
Col. Mosby is having a very enjoyj
able time of it in anq. about Boston,
being entertained by some of the
most prominent of his old foes. Yes-
torilay he was the guest of Col. Her
bert E. Hill at his elegant home in
Somerville, and the occasion was pe
culiarly interesting because of the fact
that Col. Mosby came within a rod or
two of nabbing Col. Hill in the Shen
andoah valley, as the latter was out
of camp with a party foraging for
rebel mutton. Col. Hill took his
guest about on quite a tour of visita
tion, including the State House,
where he was presented to Gov. Rob
inson aud other State officials, Col.
Mosby also accompanied Col. Hill to
the Herald office in his round of sight
seeing.
