THE GREAT EVENT OF THE SEASON
Consummatien Of the Marriage Between tn
Pioneer and Democrat!
The paternal heart of HI. NJ Rice had beer
much exercised during the two years ending
with September last, in regard to that eve
precocious child of his, the st. Paul Demo
GRAFT. She commenced cutting up high caper
soon after he took his seat in Congress; ant
upon the introduction of what he termed hi,
first great measure, she pertinaciously re
fused to obey the paternal will. Leaving Tho
household, she took refuge in the Executive
mansion of Governor German. After manx
months of coaxing without effecting a recon
cilation, she was finally driven back home
and placed under the restraint of new gov.
erness, c. L. Emerson, who had been sort
of wet-nurse to the child in its younger
days. n - -
But ere the father returned from his cele-
brated frustrating" sojourn at Superior du-
ring the fall of last year, the Democrat, with
the consent offs few goveness, had formed
an Illicit and unlawful connection with sun
dry Wings and some presumed Know Moth
ings about st. Paula connection which OF
course ended with the ruin forever of her
pure Democratic character, even if it was
Was pure previously-which is somewhat
doubtful. The father, of course, was in great
tribulation upon learning this melancholy fact,
and reprimanded the governess and ex-wet
nurse severely for allowing the unholy alliance.
But it was too late to mend the matter, and
The only thing at all that could be done to
prevent the Democrat from going to the
devil headlong was to buy up SOME legitimate
bridegroom of as easy virtue as the tffend-
ing child, and give her in marriage With
promise Rice is great on promises) of
princely settlements upon the happy pair
hereafter.
The Pioneer was pitched upon as about
the easiest and most needy gentleman in the
Democratic ranks. The wooing commenced
seme months ago, and was finally brought
10 a close on the las: day of September. By
the Pioneer being too eager to consummate
the union, after he had concluded marrying
the young hag he lost much moi,a OF what
little character he had than was neccS Sary.
One of the original requirements of tho
Democrat was, that the Pioneer should de-
scrt and try to kill off all IF his old friends
in the Dcmtcratfc party. Had he held out
until afiet the election, his bride would Lave
dropped readily into his arms without the
fulfilmcnt of this provision. But the engage
ment was made with this condition attached,
which has been faithfully observed Oh The
part of the Pioneer.
The day of union was postponed just one
IN )nth. The bridal gifts of the father of the
bride to the bridcgroom-or, more properly,
tic pay for taking a ruined child off his
hands-was bonus of one thousand dollars
in the shape of types, printing presses, &C.,
and about as many cents in the shape of
what printers understand as "good will y
cheap enough!
the day was fine, and the bridal process
sion was made up Of those noted characters
about the town and Territory which might
he expected to rejoice at the event. We will
