A RemarkabIe NIarrlage.

A loving couple at Sharpsburg, KY. ar
rived at that time OF life when they think
s'siXteen 6 and twenty for each are meant"
had appointed recent Thursday evening
for the celebration of their nuptials, but
unfortunately the young gentleman who
procured the license failed to make his ap-
pearance with that important document,
and after waiting long time the minister's
patience wore out and he departed.-
Another clergyman was sent for, but ow-
ing to the lateness of the hour and the in
clemency of the weather. he refused to COM
ply, and the ceremony had to be postponed
till the next day. In the meantime the
person having the license appeared, and in
due time on the morrow the minister was
en- route for the residence of the bride; but
on arriving on the banks of the classic
Hinkston creek, the flood had placed an
impossible barrier in his way. Not to be
thwarted this time, however, one of the
bridal attendants swan the stream with the
license, the bride and groom, mounted on
horseback, drew near the waters edge.
The minister mounted a stump, and from
the opposite side OF the stream, proceeded
to solemnize the marriage rites according
to the statutes of Kentucky. Thus, says
the Carlisle Mercury, were Perry Jewell and
Hannah Shrout, both of Bourbon county.

AN Honor 10 Newarkl

There was an election at Newark on
Monday as was an election. The champi-
ons of Revolutionary Radicalism and Ne
gro Suffrage, encountered regular Water
loo defeat. The City and Township 1of
Newark went Democratic approaching
unanimity. In that city and township the
Democrats made gain Of Jfue hundred and
Jyty-one on the majority Of last fall! This is
tremendous result--a stirring result-a
result that will gladden. the hearts of Dem
acrats all over the State. The Republicans
in the Legislature will please take notice
that the voters of Newark City and Town
ship have voted I" No. with emphasis, on
the proposition to strike the word "White''

A NEan Eighty four. Years Old Sues
fOR. a Divorce.
[From the Mt. Clemens Monitor.

/ .
There is now on file at the County Clerk 8
office bill for divorce to be disposed of at
the next term of the Circuit Court, in which
the complainant is an old man eighty-four
years of age. Fifty years ago the COM
plainant came to this section, then howl
ing wilderness, where he has resided up to
this time He has been twice married, and
is the father of seven children, all by his
first wife. The complainant married his
second wife seventeen years ago, since
which time content and happiness, those
essential virtues to an enduring married
life, have entirely absented themselves from
his hearthstone. The bill of complaint
pictures scenes ofihfelicity in which ''your
orator" has suffered all the brutal indigni-
ties that cruel, heartless woman could
conjure up; shows how valuable estates
have been squandered by extravaganza and
mismanagement; depicts lone old man
deprived, in the few remaining years of his
life, of the society of his children, who have
been driven from the parental roof by the
harsh treatment of a tyrannical step-moth-
er; exposes traits of character only to be
looked for in a veritable virago; and alludes
to legion of other grievances, which we
have no inclination to mention. The par
ties are we'll known throughout this Sec
ton, both being church members, and this
peep behind the curtains into the inharmo-
nious workings of their domestic affairs,
which, when viewed eXteriOrly, appear as
placid as a summer lake, creates no little
Surprise anG wonderment.

The Americans In Belgium.

A late letter from Belgium to gentle
man in this city, records: .Ers-
~ 6 Your Minister at Brussels, Mr.. Stan
ford, gave his grand diplomatic ball last
week. and it eclipsed in novelty and mag
nificence by far, the like entertainments of
our high aristocracy, including even the
Court balls of the King. The splendid sa-
looms of the American hotel had been COM
pletely metamOrphosed into fairy gardens,
orhamented with the rarest shrubbery and
the most costly and gorgeous plants and
flowers, all in full leaf and fragrance; and
these were multiplied in every apartment
and hall to numbers almost fabulous. New
er before had a like spectacle been witness
ed in Belgium. The dancers and prOmen-
aders enjoyed pleasures in sights and en-
chanting musical sounds of a Yeritable ter
restrial paradise. 1t was the universal
concession of princes, dukes, counts, and
more unpreteuding participants, that your
simple, plain republicans are the only
ones who understand the giving of en-
teItainments truly royal. Many Amer
leans are to be m"t at this time in
Belgium, the majority only awaiting the
opening of the Paris Exposition on the
first prOXimo. And by the way, during
my stay in Paris last week learned touch
ing the preparations for the incoming null
titudes, that an addition to the thousands
of buildings altered, enlarged, furnished
anu TeulIcu, every waste piece Vi SFOuHu
in and around Paris has been leased, and is
being temporarily improved to the same
end. The character of these latter i'm
provemenfs is in the nature of barracks
simply, Offering no sort OF luxury, but suf-
ticiently comfortable for those who do not
care to look bey ond substantial necessities.
There is actually at this day not solitary
waste parcel of ground to be hired in Paris
or it's accessible environs. The French cap
ital this year, will be veritable human
ant-hill without known example. Our as
trOrOmers, no less than our nOn-scientific
sensation lovers, are at this time meeting a
terrible disappointment. On this day, at

we are having an eclipse of the sun, the
most complete that the records note since
the year 1854. But, unfortunately, the sky

Monday, the Democrats of this city made
amost gallant fight. They exceeded their
expectations greatly. They have swept
the city as with political hurricane, leav-
ing scarcely trace of Radicalism. Conf
dent the Radicals were of electing General
WAE6UTT Mayor, and they worked to this
end with an energy and persistency
that under ordinary circumstances
would have given them victory, but it
availedi little. Democrats voted for the
General out of regard for the man, and not
because they desired thereby to indorse in
any manner the execrable principles he all
lowed the use of his name to bolster up.
Had Democrats not done this the maj jotity
for the Democratic Mayor would have
been extraordinary. AS it is, it is highly
gratifying, showing Enthusiastically that the
Democracy of this city will give about
I,2oO majority in the fall. The fruit of this
victory is a
Democratic Mayor.
Democratic Marshal,
Democratic City Solicitor, and
Six of the Niue COunciImen,
Whereby the Democrats are given a ma
jority of two-thirds in the Council. We
are not to be afflicted with a tie in that
body for some time to come. The city is
Democratic from center to circumference.
For this magnificent Democratic state of
affairs, we are indebted to the Radicalism
of Congress; to its usurpation; to its strik-
ing out of existence ten State Governments;
and to the legislation of the Ohio Legisla--
ture, whereby our city is denied the man
agement of its own police affairs, and the
passage through the Senate of the resolu-
tion abolishing the political distinction be-
tween the Whites and Blacks. Glory
enough-not for one .day-but until the

A Strange story.

The Andmoso Iowa) Eureka tells the fol-
lowing strange story:
The wife of Mr.. Parker, who recently
purchased an interest in the Anamosa
stone-uuarry. has been made cogniZant OF
the terrible truth that she has Within her
stomach living snake or lizard: For the
past five years she has suffered almost eve
rything possible for human being, ana
was supposed to be gradually dying win
consumption. Some two weeks since, a
German physician from Lisbon. Linn coun-
zty, being in town, was requested TO make
an examination into her case, to see II any
remedy could be devised to relieve her IN
tense sufferings. The physician visited her,
and became at once satisfied that there was
a;living animal within her stomach. On
last Thursday the starvation. process was
begun and continued for five days, little or
no nourishment being taken. During this
time the animal repeatedly moved upward
and into the throat, producing terrible and
almost fatal strangulation, and making 1t
necessary to administer salt to drive 1t
downward. AT such times the lower! part
of the throat would be pressed outward in
a most perceptible and revolving manner.
On Monday last the attempt was made to
dlslod9e the loathsome creature by placing
a pan of heated milk near the patients
mouth, and permitting her 10 inhale the
steam. A poultice OF onions and garlic
was applied to the stomach, but, through
misunderstanding, the onions were cook
ed, and their strength thereby mostly de-
stroyed The experiment, however, was
tried, but the animal moved up only 9
short distance, green slime being emitted
from the mouth. The patient IS greatly
prostrated by her abstinence and terrible
suffering, but another effort Will soon bt
made to relieve her; although 1t seems al
most certain that the animal, whatever
Is, has grown SO large as to make its egres
through the throat impossible. la

An Unexpected Feature i'm a Fair
TableaW. -r-

Considerable excitement was caused in
the tow of Granville last evening, in a
society fair, which may serve as a warning
in the future to originators and conductors
of tableaux. 1t appears that. at the fair in
question, one of the tableauX represented
the burning of "fair'' martyr at the stake.
A young lady who had volunteered tosot-
ficiate as the ''martyr," was tied to a stake.
in accordance with ''ye ancient CUSTOM"
and the traditional fagots were piled up
around her, at what was supposed to be a
safe distance. .-,. .,.s....
These fagots were saturated with an in
fiammable fluid, and, when ignited, they
were at once all in a blaze-in fact, the fire
encircled them like a flash. For about a
minute the martyr" stood her ground
nobly, and the whole was producing bril-
liant and pleasing effect, when the young
lady suddenly screamed, to the consterna-
tion of the assembly, as that had not been
understood as a part OF the programme
Those present were so astOnished that they
stood motionless for some seconds, when
one young man. who regained his presence
of mind, saw plainly the thing was being
overdone, and he nude an attempt to res
cue her, aud succeeded. He was just in
time to save her from being badly SCARED.
As it was, her arms and head-dress were
scorched. The subsequent exercises can be

"e Cholera and Quarantine.

The New York Quarantine Commission
ers, believing that the cholera will soon
reach this country from Europe, have de-
termined to make immediate preparations
without depending upon the hospital builG-
ingS on the west bank, which will not be
ready for use before midsummer. They
propose to use floating hospitals, as was
done last summer. They have the hulk of
the steamer Illinois in the lower bay to re-
ceive sick on their arrival, and she is to be
joined by the hospital ship Falcon, now at
Red Hook. The Secretary of War has also
been applied to for the use Of the steam
ship Empire City: 1t is thought that these
will not be sufficient to accommodate the
cholera and yellow fever patients, who
must be kept separate; and other vessels
will be required for convalescents. 1t is
believed that with prompt attention to
this subject, and ample preparations to
meet the dreaded scourge, it may be avert
ed in great measure, as was done last
year.

SPEAKING of the late flood, the CHATTANOOGA
Union says: ''In 1887, just as the Cherokee
nation was removing from this part of Ten
nessee, old Squire William M. Shoemaker
purchased of the aboriginees tract OF
land, located ON the Tennessee river, about
four miles from Harrison. He was inform
ed by the original owners that they could
trace, by their traditions, the possession of
this tract of land in their family, back to
the year l777, and that during all that time
the waters had never been known to over
flow the knoll on which their cabin was
then standing. Mr., Shoemaker according
1y built his house upon this knoll, and has
lived upon the place ever since 1887. In
1847, the water, during the greatest freshet
ever known previous to this time, only
came up to his back yard; but during the
Waters flooded the caves of his house,
