AN ANCIENT CUSTOM.
"Kunaing For the, Bottle” » Feature ot
Wetldinc Ceremonies.
Mr. Wes B. Smith writes to The
Democrat of the last time he attend
*d a wedding where running for the
bottle was a feature. Of course in
these degenerate days a wedding is
not necessary to precipitate a chase
for the receptnole, but accounts of
the former custom may not be un.
Interesting.
The practice was in vogue among
the aristocracy of England as far
back ns the sixteenth century. It
was handed down to America
through the early colonists, but has
long since been out' of date here.
The last chase of this kind, says
Mr. Smith, that was performed in
this section occurred in November,
1836, at the wedding of Emanuel
Mann, father of Judge Russell Mann
of Paris, and Ellen Snodgrass,daugh
ter Of David Snodgrass, afterward
eounty judgo of Harrison. The
groom is still living at Millershurg.
Emanuel was the son of Peter Mann,
a Nicholas county farmer of consid¬
erable woalth and intelligence, and,
of course, Ellen was a young lady of
prominence. So, then, the wedding
was quite “swoll.”
As the custom was, on the morn,
tag of the wedding the guests as
sera bled at the borne of the bride to
await the coming of the bridegroom
and bis attendants. About one hour
before the expected arrival three of
ahe younger gentlemen, Messrs. Da
vid Henry, Jack Barrett and Long
Bam Van Hook, equipped with whip
and spur, mouinted their snorting
steeds and prepared for the race.
Dfl? they went, catgut and steel
p]yh)g ljpon tho horses’hides, over
fences, over ditches, through the
fields, across the meadows — on they
raoed to meet the bridegroom. At
tost the bridal procession was sight
ed, tho “best man” riding in front
and holding in view the much prized
bottle of whisky. Tho race then as
gumed fresh proportions. Faster flow
the steeds. Thicker grew the dust
behind them. Now Barrett is in
front. Over the next jump Loug
Sam leads by a lioso. Henry loads
at the next jump. Now all are to
gether. Down tho straight they
come as one teain. The rnler^ara
more’^frlde^« ^ ( sup^e
e pf or f; ( am j j tt0 t Barrott captured
the bottle.
Now Jack has won tho right to
bead the procession. Proudly riding
in front, shaking tho bottle above
bis bond in the pride of supremacy,
be guides the wary to the bridal par
. »
arrn y of accouterments, with exquis¬
ite floral docorations of mint, was
proudly stationed on tlio sideboard
^ <h« livelong day, that ho who
would might partake * of its contents
or biudranc0 .
Mr Smitli adds that no one so far
forgot himself as to imbibe too free
ty. Mr. Snodgrass was a preaohor in
the Christian ohurch and a modol of
piety. Though the bottle was master
of the oeoasion, the preacher vetoed
a jj e jf or f 8 0I1 the part of theyounger
folks to dnnoo, play “old Sister
Phoebe, ’’ or even play “pleased or
displeased. "-Cynthiana (Ky.)Dem
ocrat.
Landseer's Valet,
Sir Edwin Landseer, the famous
animal painter, had an old servant—
butler, valet and faithful slave
—named William, who was partiou
torly assiduous in guarding the o»4
« I^tai No one could by any
tsbility gam direct access to Sir Ed

The prince consort himself once re
coived this answer when he called,
amplified on that oocasion by tha as
suranco that “he bad gono to awed
an entire fiction on William’s
part, as the prince found out, for, on
walking boldly in and round the
the faithful attendant w ho one day,
