WARRINGTON, req. 70, 1893.
Last evening, Attorney General Crittenden
was married in the presence of the President
and Cabinet. in the Rev. Mr. Pines Church.
The lady to whom he offered his heart and hand
was the widow Ashley, dashing belle of fifty
two' who has figured conspicuousy for the last
few years at the different watering places The
bride is rich, but the groom comparati. ely poor.
1t is n matter of surprise with some who have
been familiar with Mrs. A. in her younger days
and have seen the attention she has universally
received at the watering places, and the chances
she has had OF marrying younger and handsomer
men, men OF position, that she should have ac-
copied the hnnd and heart of the talented Attor-
ney General, now far advanced in years. 1t
IS supposed that Mr. and Mrs Crttenden will
make their future home in this CITY.
The appropriation bills are now under conside.

made the catchalls for bills of all descriptions.

matte bill was adopted, increasing the salaries of
the Secretaries from $4,000 to $4,000, per an
num- The proposition first was to build and fur
nish houses at the expense of the Government
lof me Secretaries but was opposed chiefly on
.he ground that such houses might not suit every
Secretary and also on the ground that they
might become too public. There is no doubt
that the salaries of Secretaries are too small and
ought to be- increased; but heretofore il has been
diiheult to accomplish on account of lhe crv ~
exffaVagnce' so apt to be raised against an admin.

The Law GREYs, of Baltimore, paraded yes
terday morning at Ii O'Clock, 10 front OF the Civ
Hotel, and were escorted through Main and Broad
streets to the Capitol Square, by an escort detail
ed from the volunteer regiment, under command
of Capt. w. M. Elliott. Their fine, martial ap-
peardnce and admirable discipline rendered the
Law Greys' the cynosure of every eye ms they
marched through our streets, to the inspiring
strains of their excellent band on the SQUARE
they challenged the admiration of the professors
OF tactics by the beauty and precision of their
evouions We can safely say they are the best
drilled volunteer corps we have ever seen; and in
this opinion we believe every military man pre-.
sent yesterday on the Square fully concurs.
The company is composed mainly of men in
the prime life; Capt. France is capital spe-
cimen of the citizen soldier of the Republic--
prompt, decisive and resolute; but, at the same
time, courteous in bearing and generous in his
impulses.
The volunteer regiment will parade to-day at
half past p, and the dinner to the Greys will be
given at 2 O'Clock in the hall over the Old Market
At nine O'Clock the Greys, accompanied by the
Young Guard, will take the cars for Washington
city, where they will arrive tomorrow morning
at O'Clock. We wish them pleasant Journey
and safe return to sweathearts, wives and
friends.

The WEST PoINT MILITARY ACADEMY Some
views presented in extract from Colonel Ben
toms forthcoming history, which appear in the
New York Post, upon the subject of military
education, are forcibe and interesting For nearly
twenty years he was at the head of the military
committee in the United States Senate, andis there
fore, officially familiar with the defective organi-
cation of the West Point Academy. He shows
that the present system tends to make govermen-
tai instead of national army; that it prevents
promotion from the ranks, which is unjust as we'll
as uudemocratic; that it annhates the influence
which the Senate, as a coordinate branch of the
government, is entitled to exert in offering the
army; that it degrades the regular soldier into a
mercenary, and that it encourages desertion. He
also shows very clearly that, in all these partcu-
lars, the administration OF the academy has been
chan ed since il received the countenance and APP
probation OF Washington. The mischefof which
he complains, he says, dates from the act of 1912
We are glad the subject has finally been brought
before the country BY one SO competent 20 secure
Tor ii proper consideration.

MAcoN.-The number of houses in progress of
building in town and the neghborhood, in addition
to the active progress on the railroad besides other
heavy work, has made all kinds of labor very high
and hard to be got at any price. We are glad to
see this evidence of prosperity: but we would eau
ton the land holders from too sangulne expec-
tatons in holding up to exhorbtant price the lots
in town as well the land in the neighborhood, and
thereby prevent men of small means from settling
AMONG us. The working interests are the sinews
of prosperity in both town and country, check this
shirt by extortion and will take brighter pros
meets than we can possible sustain to attract the
industrious working classes.-Bedcon.
