MARRIED IN HAsTE.-A correspondent
of the Chicago Tribune gives the follow
ing account of marriage that recently
took place in Kenosha, in that State:
Yesterday a party of young ladies
and gentlemen were collected at one of
our picture galleries in Kenosha, when the
subject of marriage came up as the mat
ter Of conversation. Among the gentle
men was gay young Lieutenant, of the
18th Illinois Cavalry, and among the Ia
dies was Miss NJ, daughter of one of
the Oldest settlers Of our city. They pro-
posed to get married to see how it would
seem. Just then Justice Denning came
in. Shoulder-straps asked the Squire
if he would marry bin. Miss NJ, jump
ed up, said she would have him. The
Justice instructed them to stand up and
take hold of hands. The usual questions
were asked and answered, and in five
minutes they were map aud wife. Then
came the serious part of the joke. When
the new-made- bride found she was really
a bride, her laughter turned to tears. Her
lawful husband wished her to go TO his
hotel with him, but she had fled TO her
own home. Her parents, nearly distract
ed, appealed to the justice to undo what
ho had done; but were informed that the
statutes of Wisconsin gave him no au-
thority to separate man and wife. Night
came on The bride was kept at home
and the husband forbidden to enter the
house. He is determined to have his
lawful wife. She and her family are in
great distress. Thus matters stand at the
present moment.

A VERY singular occurrence was noted
in the 10th Massachusetts, yesterday. A
sergeant had been engaged in the I'd Di-
vision Hospital the day previous in plac-
ing upon q number of headboards the
names of members of his regiment who
had been killed in the late fight, or had
died in battle, which were to mark their
last resting place. There was one board
10 excess, aud in sportive vein, he plac-
ed with lead pencil his own name upon
it, and the date of his demise, Goth of
June, rs his term of service had then ex-
pired and he was about to leave for home.
YESTERDAY morning, while near the front
bidding his companions in other regiments
a farewell, he was struck in the breast by
twenty-pounder Parrot and instantly
killed. His remains were inferred to-day,
and the very headboard he had unthink-
ingy inscribed with his own name was
placed over his grave, and with date, cor
rectly marks for time his resting place.

On Good Terms with tho Enemy

Before Gen. Meade issued an order for
bidding communication with the enemy,
the soldiers had become quite scciablo.-'
A Tribune letter says
"The men on both sides have been
holding intercourse With each other for
interchange Of newspapers and the barter
Of coffee and tobacco. In this way
great deal of mischief was likely to result,
as information of vital Importance is al
ways apt to leak out. The opposing lines
of rifle pits, it must be borne in mind, are
not hundred yards apart---in some parts
of the line much closer. Adventurous
spirits, on both sides, cautiously raise
their heads above the eatthworks. How

THERE is a tree n front Of Gen. Sher-
mans army, which is called the fatal tree.
Seven men were shot, one after another,
as they advanced TO the ill-fated tree to
take secure position behind its huge
trunk, when board was placed there
with the word Dangerous" chalked up
on it. The rebels shot the guide board
into fragments, and a sergeant took his
place behind the unsuspecting tree. In
less than five minutes two Minnie balls
pierced the sergeant's body, and he fell,
the eighth martyr beneath the shadow Of
the tree Of death.

From the Boston Recorder.
Fourth Of July in 1903.

The following selections are taken from
an Grafton delivered by The late Rev. o.
iver Cobb, D. D., at Rochester, Mass,
July 4th, 1903;
10 the Federal Constitution, foun-
dation is laid for Liberty superior to what
any nation on the Globe ever enjoyed, as
refined rs any may ever expect Had
our political existence been ushered in,
like the greater part Of nations, we sbo'd
be lost IN Ignorance respecting il, or what
is worse, should find baseuess in it, of
which we should wish to be ignorant. AS
we can revert to the origin of our Coun-
try without blush, so we can TO our
National Independence. independence
was not declared because we had the pow
or to be free, but because we had ths
right. 1t is not enough that these Unit
ed States were declared free and independ-
cut No; it is our duty to transmit to
prosterity and preserve inviolate those
blessings, which, under God, have result
ed from the wisdom, toll, treasure aud
blood of our fathers and brethren. If,
when life demands, right band or
right eye must be sacrificed, everything
must be sacrificed when Liberty de-
mands. Vigilance, zeal and activity
should be exerted TO keep alive those
principles which led to the declaration OF
independence, which aninimaLed our ar
mics and gave us the best constitution of
civil government in the world Among
the loudest declaimers for Liberty are
those who never know what rational Lib
erty is.
Man is ever aspiring and he has inverse
as well as direct methods to attain his
end. Our political fathers were not
ashamed TO acknowledge the superihtend-
ing providence Of Gcd, and to look to
heaven for divine benedicticu In thei,
distress they did look, they prayed, they
were heard, they were answered. God
was in the Cabinet with those snges who
dared to proclaim these States free and
independent. God was in the field with
those illustrious heroes who fought for
Liberty and crowned the arduous contest
with victory; an imitation Of their exam
pie would excite The rational hope that
the God Of our fathers will be our God.
Then would Freedoms Temples continue
to rise, and none would be considered the
friends of American Independence who
are the enemies Of Americas God.
The following selection is from the
toasts given on tho occasion:
/. The Institution Of Civil Govern
ment. May this only protection of per-
soual right never be choked by anarchy,
or swallowed up by despotism.
2. The Constitution of the United
States. May it never be overthrown BY
those who are out of, or subverted by
those who are in the Administration Of
Government.
8. The American Eagle. May the
Hawks and the Vpltures of Europe be
taught TO pay it proper respect and
keep at suitable distance.
4. The Memory Of Washington, May
the hand which would overthrow the
beautiful structure he has raised, perish
in the impious attempt.
S. The ilustrious Congress Of l776.
May their virtues be omulated till imper-
fection is extinct.

DEAR SIR--Inasmuch rs you are one
of the delegates from this congressional
district to the Chicago Convention, both
we ana our neighbors are anxious TO learn
your views as to the true line of conduct

be what it may, let us declare in favor of
an armistice of sixty days. We can make
the proposition with honor because it
would be done on southern soil. We
blockade all Of the ports Of the South
not in our possession, and the great Faith
er of Waters is ours FROM its source to
its mouth. But we want peace, we want
Union, we want cessation of the carnage
Of war, and these blessings can only be
obtained through an armistice.
In my letter to the State Central
Committee, in September, 1868, / de.
nounced the policy Of President Lincoln
in refusing to receive Alexander H. Ste-
phens as confederate commissioner; and,
since then, have frequently urged the
appointment of commissioners on our
part, to meet with others to be appointed
by the authorities of Richmond; and
respectfully advise, that l have so often
recommended before.
With earnest hopes for The preserva-
ton of the Union, and the return of
peace, | remain, gentlemen, your obliged

GREELY ON PEAcE.-One year ago Mr..
Greely said in the New York Tribune :
"If three months moro of earnest
fighting shall not serve 10 make serious
impression on the rebels--if the end of
that term shall find us no farther advanc-
ed than in the beginning-if some malig-
nant fate has decreed that the blood and
treasure of the patton shall ever be squan-
dered in fruitless efforts, lot US bow to our
destiny, and make the best attainable
pence."
What does Gteely row think of the
sltuationl Does he think that we have
made a sufficiently "serious impression"
on the rebels, and they too have made
very serious impressions upon usa Are
not "the blood and treasure of the coun-
try being squandered " to the extent
his ardent Imagination picturedl Will
the Tribune philosopher tell US whether
it isn't about time to bow to our desti-
ny and make the best attainable peace y

Saturday Night.

How sweet are the associations which
come this night Of the week. 1t is like
the benediction which closes the services
Of the sanctuary, for that il asks Gods
blessing Upon the work done. 1t is ouly
the thoughtless, the heart darkened by
distrust, or raeked with SleepleSs care.
that can not murmur kind, feeling, holy
prayer to The most High, upon the return
of Saturday night, bringing with it repose,
furlough from duty, the promise of the
Sabbath to follow. We must have pity
for such soul. Life has little enjoymeu,
and pleasure, little of fruits whoseaex-
pressed sweetness is to give the greatest
comforts of living. But for him whose
conscience is at rest, is at peace with his
neighbor, whose favor is right with the
world, whose days are of peaceful and
fruitful labor and whose home is home,
oh Saturday night is the sweetest, hap
piest aud the gladest of times. Not so
alone for It's release from the fever of Ia
Dor, but that, like a bene6cent visitor, it
whispers Of the precious Sabbath that is
near; it recalls, in its stiffness, the days
that are passed. 1t is then that the soul
leaps over the space of years and goes
blackjack to the days when the heart
was young in years, fresh in emotions,
pure in purpose, ambitious aud quick in
thought, and we dream that we are young
again! Over fields and meadows, over
the highways and busy mart we fit and
follow, still boy, with boys purposes
and the possessor of boys castles, so
beautiful, so perfect, SO strange! Ab!
who would not be boy again But we
grow along 10 years. How we feel some
thing Of manhood In our strength, some
thing of wisdom in our experience, and
the head thrills with wonderful emotions
of love. Then the blood pulses through
the veins with quickened haste, for then
comes the remembrance of those whose
soft footsteps pressed down the gentle
flowers, aud words were said which only
the angels might hear, but which brought
the lips together in one long thrilling kiss.
A mist of months float gently before our
minds, and then comes the bridal scene
where the beautiful of life had its most
hopeful, fairest realization, and where the
hearts which God had formed for mates
were bound by earthly ties, and sealed the
blisses which are bound in the magic COM
pleteness of husband-wife!
