A HAPPY WKODINH PAHTY.
MAItUiAOK Of MAI. HAMILTON WILKINS
AND Allas L. B. ROBERTSON. AT GOLD
HILL RECEPTION AT CAPT. fW. P.
BPBATLINO’B—MUSIC, LOVE AND
HAPPINESS.
W'ednosday, In company with a number
of Invited guests, we loft hero in a special
car bound for Gold Hill, on theß. A M.
Railroad, to witness the marriage of Maj.
Hamilton Wilkins, Supervisor of the
Western Railroad, and Miss Leila Robert
son, of that place.
The party comprised about twenty of
the most fasolnatlng and beautiful of Co
lumbus ladles, and an equal number of
our most elegant and agreeable young
gentlemen. A special car had been pro
vided by the Western Railroad for the
occasion, and into It we all were seated.
The Italian band was along, and ere we
leftthscity the party were favored with
sweet music. The happy party soon
reached Opelika, and there remained a
couple of hours. Tho time spent In Opeli
ka was agreeably disposod of. The young
gentlemen of tho party eager for a dance,
engaged tho parlors of the Sledge House,
and for an hour or more the merry dan
cers enjoyed themselves. At six o’clock
wo left Opelika In a special train, tendered
by the ST A M.R.R. Company in compli
ment.to MaJ. Wilkins who was so long In
charge of the construction] of Jthat road-
Our numbers was augmented by an
equal numborfrom Opelika, bent upon the
same mission. In an houxor moro we
reached Gold Hill, voyances
were In waiting for tho laufek 61 the par
ty, and they were carried to the bride's
residence. The gentlemen donned their
best, in the train, where everything was
provided for their comfort. In a very
short space of time all had con
gregated at tho hospitable residence
of Mrs. Robertson, and joining their lady
friends walked to tho church, about fifty
yards distant. Tho bridal party shortly
arrived, and the marriage ceremony was
impressively performed by Rev. Dr. An
drews. The bride is one of the loveliest of
women, and as beautiful as she is beloved
by her hundreds of friends present on the
occasion. The young lady attendants
were os beautiful as ft dream, and In their
fleecy dresses made a picture for an artist
brush.
As soon as the soft tones of tho melode
on died away, the call for carriages, wag
ons, and buggies was heeded, and a cara
van of vehicles stood in waiting to carry
the entire wedding party to the
UKOEPTION
given to the happy couple by Mr. and
Mrs. W. P, Sprat!ing. Their residence
was two miles distant, but it seemed
but a fow hundred yards so swiftly
did the thne fly riding under the
pule iit moon and bright stars, keeping
time to the joyousaess of the party, ttie
peals of merry laughter and tho strains of
sweet music.'
The party was most hospitably welcom
ed by the hosts, assisted by the elegant cor
diality of Mrs. Roper, aunt to the bride.
The magnificent grove in front of the
yard was illuminated with lire stands,
while over the portals of the front porch
was suspended green decorations, bearing
the word “welcome.’’ The music was
brought into requisition again, and until
tho iu vital ion to the banqueting hall,
tho time was consumed in dancing. Mrs.
Denson, during the time favoring the
guests with some of her most exquisite
vocal melodies.
The tables wore loaded with everything
to entice an epicure. Everything was
bottntifully supplied, elegantly served and
so hospitably dispensed. The tables were
arranged sojas to make tli e initials “H.
and Li.” Over the dining room mantel,
workod In evergreen was the name of the
bridegroom and bride.
About two o’clock the guests began to
leave amldj many good-byes and klud
words, nnd not long thereafter we were
speeding back to Columbus. We all ar
rived safe, at five o’clock yesterday morn
ing, and though fatigued, were filled with
the most pieasant recollections of our vis
it, and earnestly wishing tho greatest
happiness to tho lot of our newly matrled
friends.

Let Is Have a Tllden Club.
Tho suggestion of Col. Wilkins, our effi
cient Chairman of the Executive Commit
tee, calling upon the young and the old
mon to organize a Democratic Club, meets
with general approval. There is not a city
the size of Columbus In the United States
but that has her Democratic Club. While
it is truQ Tildeu and Headricks will be
overwhelmingly elected in Georgia, still
we ought to organise, that our work at tho
polls will be systematic and uniform. We
ought not to let our large majority lull us
Into slumber, but rather lot it urge us to a
greater majority, and by our influence
help our sister States rid themselvesof the
cormorant Badieal party.
We hope Saturday night will see the
Court Boom crowded and a thorough or
ganization perfected. Tho young men of
tho city, all, should lend a helping hand.
The destinies of tho party, and of Its or
ganization, will soon fall upon your shoul
ders, and now you should learn to work
In party harness. The Club can do a vast
deal of good, and we hope to record a
rousing meeting and a thorough organi
zation. Turn oat Saturday night.

When anil Why lampi Explode.
We traet that we will be pardoned for
taking from the Scientifc American a few
hints that journal gives as to the danger
arising from petroleum lamps;
All explosions of petroleum lamps are
in the space above the oil. When full of
oil, of course, a lamp contains no gas, but
Immediately on lighting the lamp con
sumption of oil begins, soon leaving a
space for gas, which commences to form
as tho lamp warms up, and, after burning
a short time, sufficient gas will accumu
late to form an explosion. The gas in a
lamp will explode only when Ignited. In
this respect it is like gunpowder. Cheap
or Inferior oil is always most dungorous. (

ANOTHER CANDIDATE.
S V MAX ADELEIt.
I have pretty much made up my mind
now to run for the Presidency. What the
country wants ta candidate who cannot
be injured by Investigation of his past
history, so that the enemies of the party
will bo unable to rake up against him
things that nobody ever hoard of before.
If you know tho most about a candidate,
to begin with, every attempt to spring
things on him will be checkmated. Now.
I am going to opter the field with an open
record. lam going to own up, in advance,
to all tho wickedness I havoiione; and if
any Congressional committee is disposod
to prowl around my biography, in the
hope of finding any dark and deadly deed
which I have secreted, why lot it prowl.
In the first place, I admit that I did
tree a rheumatic grand-father of mine in
the winter 1859. He was old and inexpert
In climbing trees, but with a heartless
brutality that is charggteristic of me, I ran
him out the front doOr in his night-shirt,
at tho point of a shot-gun, and caused
him to bowl up a maple tree, where he re
mained all night while I emptied sh t
into his legs. I did this because he
snored. I will do it again if I ever have
another grand-father who snores, I am
as inhuman now as I ever was in 1859.
No rheumatic person shall snore in my
boose.
I candidly acknowledge that I ranaway
at the battle of Gettysburg. My friends
have tried to smooth over this fact, by as
serting that I merely got behind a tree;
that I did so for tho purpose of imitating
Washington, who went into the woods at
Valley Forge to say his prayers. It is a
miserable subterfuge. I cut in a straight
line for the Tropic of Cancer, simply be
cause I was scared. I wanted my country
saved, but I preferred having somebody
else save his. I entertain that preference
yet. If the bubble reputation can be ob
tained only at the cannon’s mouth, I am
willing to go there for it, providing the
cannon is empty. If loaded, my immor
tal and inflexible purpose is to get sudden
ly over the fence and go home. My inva
riable practice in war has been to bring
out of any given fight two-thirds more
men than I took in. This seems to me to
be Napoleonic in its grandeur.
The lost time I ran for the Presidency
there was some unpleasant talk about my
implication in a transaction with the
widow Pollock’s ducks. The matter was
hushed up, but I have no objection to ad
mitting tho truth respecting it. I have
always had a favorite theory that roast
ducks wore conductive to hysterical
symptoms, and as every instinct of na
turo prompts me to protect the widow
from the rayogos of hysteria, I entered
the coop in the garden and regretfully but
(Irmly removed those ducks. The fact
that she began a prosecution against me
is not a matter of consequence. It is the
fate of tiie philanthropist to be misunder
stood. But duty is my guiding star, and
if it leads me to ducks or destruction I
shall follow it.
My financial views are of tho most de
cided character,but they are not likely per
haps, to increase my popularity witli ttie
advocates of inflation and contraction. I
do not insist upon the special supremacy
of rag money or hard money. The great
fundamental principle of my lifo is to take
anything I can got.
Tho rumor that I buried a dead aunt
under one of my grape-vines is founded
upon facts. The vino needed fertilizing,
my aunt had to be buried, and I dedicated
her to this high purpose. Does this
unlit me for tho presidency? The consti
tution of our country does not say so. No
other citizen was ever considered unwor
thy of the office because be enriched his
grape-vines with his relations. Why
should Ibo solected as the first victim [of
an absurd prejudice?
I admit also that I am not a friend of
the poor man. I regard the poor man in
his present condition, as so much wasted
raw material. But up and properly can
ned, he might bo made useful to fatten
the natives of the Cannibal Islands, and
to improve our export trade with that re
gion. I shall recommend legislation upon
the subjoct in my llrst message. My
campaign cry will be: “Dessicate the
poor working man! Stuff him into sau
sages !”
Those aro about the worst parts [of my
record. On them I come before the coun
try. If my country don’t want mo I will
go back again. But I recommend myself
as a safe man~a man who starts from the
basis of total depravity and proposes to
bo fiendish to the last.
Hark Twain as a Reporter.
I reported on a morning newspaper for
three years, and it was pretty hard work.
But I enjoyed its attractions. Reporting
is the best school in the world to get a
knowledge of human beings, human na
ture, anti human ways. A nice gentle
manly reporter—l make no references—
is well treated by everybody. Just think
of the wide range of his acquaintance
ship, his experience of life and society.—
No other occupation brings a man Into
such familiar social relations with all the
grades and classes of people. The last
thing at night—midnight—he goes brow
sing around after itoms, among the polioe
and jail birds in the lock-up, questioning
the prisoners, and making pleasant and
lasting friendships among some of the
worst people in the world. And the very
next evening ho gets himself up regard
less of expense, puts on all the good
clothes his friends have got, goes and
takes dinner with the Governor or the
commander In chief of tho district, tho
United States Senator and some of the up
per crust of society. He is on good terms
with them, and is present at every gath
ering, and has easy access to every varie
ty of poople. Why, I breakfasted almost
every morning with the Governor, dined
with the principal clergyman, and slept
in the station-house.
And the reporter has to lie a little, or
they would discharge him. That is why
I left it. lam different from Washington.
I have a higher, a grander standard Of
principle. Washington could not lie. I
can lie, but I won’t. Beporting is fasci
nating, but then it is so distressing to
have to He so. Lying is bad—lying is
very bad. Every individual knows that
by experience. I think that for a man to
tell a lie, when he cannot make anything
by It, is wrong.

Napoleon's Personal Courage.
N. Y. News.)
His jieraonal courage is very dis
tinctly witnessed by the records of
these events. It does not seem as if
he courted or desired, or despised
danger in the chivalrous sense, so
much us that his mind was so ab
sorbed in the direction of his battles
that he had no place in it for appre
hensions about himself. Constant
ly wo read of him standing in situa
tions whore his staff and others were
being destroyed, and where shot and
shell were falling profusely about;
while he, surveying and contempla
ting the fortunes of the field, was
absolutely Insensible to what was
passing at his elbow.
At Hanan, while he was giving
some directions, a shell fell quite
close to him. He paid no attention
to it, and no one dared to interrupt
his speech; but those about him
hardly breathed while they awaited
the explosion; the missile had pene
trated so far into the ground that its
bursting was harmless. Napoleon
does not seem to have been aware
that there ever had been any danger.
At the passage of the Elbe, when a
ball struck some wood closo to him
and sent a splinter close to his neck,
he so far recognizad the danger as to
say, ‘‘lf it had struck me on the
breast, all had been over.”
When he was suddenly recalled to
Dresden by the unexpected attack of the
allies, their fire was very hot over a space
which he had to pass, and he crawled
along there on his hands and knees, but
never thought of waiting or of seeking
another path. Nobody has ever given a
reason why fortune should constantly fa
vor these strong, ail venturous men; nor
why they should be aware, as they seem
to be, that they are proof against accidents
that may come to other men. Force of
will and physical vigor might be urged as
tho cause of the men’s temerity, but
strength of will or of body cannot keep
off the strokes of shot and shell.
A Bl| Fro* Story.
Toronto Globe.]
A remarkable incident occurred at
Brown & Hall’s saw mill, at Acton, while
a pine log was being sawed up into lum
ber. The outside slab and one board had
been cut off, and while the workmen
were turning over the log they were sur
prised to see a large toad poke his head
out of a hole in which he was imbedded,
and where he had barely escaped being
cut up by the saw. How the stranger
got there was a mystery, as he was com
pletely incased in the wood, with no pos
sible means of ingress or egress. As the
log was the fourth or fifth from the butt
of the tree, his position must have been
at least fifty or sixty feet from the ground,
and he had no doubt grown up with it
from infancy, being probably hundreds of
years old, The animal was quite flat, and
nearly as large as a man’s hand. He was
perfectly blind, but when taken from his
bed be made use of his limbs to crawl
away. The tree was perfectly sound,
with the exception of a decayed spot
about a foot in length below the hollow
place in which he was imbedded. How
did ho get there, and what did lie live
on ?

THE MORNING NEWS,
SAVWXAII, GA.
.. fju \
PI JPI 13 m |y \
The political campaign op 1876, which
includes National, Btte and county elections,
and which will undoubtedly be the most active
and hotly contested of any since the memorable
canvass of 1800, is now fairly opened. The Na
tional Democratic Party will this year make a
bold, vigorous, and doubtless successful strug
gle for tho maintenance and supremacy of those
principles which are vital to the prosperity of
the Republic and essential to the well-being of
the people.
In addition to the Presidential election, the
people in Georgia and Florida will elect new
State governments. In Florida the campaign
promises to be unusually vigorous, and there is
a probability that for the first time since the war
the people of that Radioal-ridden State will elect
a Democratic State Government. In these cam
paigns the people of the South are deeply inter
ested; and everv intelligent citizen, who has the
welfare of his country and his section at heart,
should acquaint himself with every detail of the
great work of redemption and reform that is now
going on.
To this end ho should subscribe to and assist
in circulating the Savannah Morning News,
an independent Democratic newspaper, of pro
nounced opinions and fearless in their expres
sion ; a paper that is recognized everywhere as
the best dtily in the South. Its editorial de
partment is vigordus, thoughtful and consistent,
while its news and local departments are marvels
of industry and completeness. Its department
of Georgia and Florida aflairs is not confined to a
mere barren summary of events transpiring in
those States, but is enlivened by comment at
once apt, timely, and racy.
The ample resources of the establishment will
be devoted to furnishing the readers of the
MORNING NEWS
with tho lateat intelligence 'rom all parts of the
world, through the press dispatches, special tel
egrams, and by means of special correspondence;
and through these agencies the paper will be the
earliest chronicler of every noteworthy incident
of the political campaign of 1876.
