Grand Display nj wedding-An Tn

No crowned head nor proud millionaire
ever devised so gigantic and brilliant a dis
play for a wedding festival as the one that ac-
companied the nuptals of a West Tennessee
bride and group. The ceremony was to take
place in the palatial mansion of the bride; the
wedding garments We're all on hand il salts
factory order; the guests were present in dense
numbers, and all was going of in the most
approved manner, when Just as the ceremony
was being performed there occurred a terrific
blast, something like the combination of an
explosion and an earthquake, followed by
general Caying-in of the premises, amid lurid
light, iaintng women, swearing men, and
universal CONSERVATION, The smoke-house
had been blown ZIP, and before the wondering
eyes Of the officiating clergyman and bridal
party there arose vision OF several thousand
pounds of bacon flying high in the air, and
dispersed to the four quarters of the earth.
After sufficient attention had been paid to
cologne and hartshorn, an investigation was
had, which resulted in the weeping bride ties.
iifying that a rejected lover of hers had threat

he was at the bottom of this late unpleasant

the pangs Of despised love, and hungering
after the sweets Of revenge, he had deity de-
posted a large and assorted collection Of bomb
shells, tOrpedoes, ETC., under the Inflated

il all off, with the aforesaid result. As an ex

Rufus Choate and Chief Justice Shaw, of
Massachusetts, often INDUCED in wordy COM
bats, and wit was generally freely expended
by both sides. Choate was once arguing
case before the Chief Justice (who was one OF
the homliest men elevated to the Bench), and
to express his reverence for the conceded
ability of the Judge, said, in yielding to an ad-
verse decision:
"In coming into the presence Of your
Honor l experience the same feelings the
HindoO does when he bows before his idol l
know that you are ugly, but feel that you
are great!'
Ii is said that Choate had command of
language, and his brain teemed with wealth
of diction truly marvellous. When Judge
Shaw first heard that there was fresh edition
of Worcester's Dictionary out, containing p
500 new words, he exclaimed, "For Heavens
sake, don't let Choate get hold Of it,"
Choate in an important assault and battery
case at sea had Dick Barton, chief mate Of
the clipper ship Challenge, on the stand, and
badgered him so for about an hour that Dick
got his salt water up, and hauled by the wind
to bring the keen Boston lawyer under his
batteries.
At the beginning of the testimony, Dick
said that the night was as OZARK as the devil
and raining like seven bells"
Suddenly Mr. Choate asked him
''Was there a moon that night"
"Yes, sir
'Ah, yes, a moon
"Yes, full moon
did you see NJ"
''Not a mite
"Then, how do you know there was a
moonf'
"The Nautical Almanac said SO, and III

world
"what was the principal uminary thai
night, sir:n
"Bnnacle lamp aboard the Challenge"
"Ah you are growing sharp, Mr. Barton.
"What in blazes have you been grinding
me this hour lor--to make me dull?n
"Be civil, sir, and tell me what latitude ant
longitude you crossed the equator in.
"Sho'-you re joking"
''No, sir, am in earnest, and | desire yo
to answer me-
81 shan't
"Ahl you refuse, do you2'
"Yes-I can't"
Indeed you are the chief mate of cliI

a question
