A Wedding in a Lighthouse.

A Toledo (Ohio) paper tells the story OF
romantic wedding in lighthouse on Turtle
Island. Mrs. Edison has been the keeper of
the lighthouse since the death of her hus-
band, two years ago, and last week she was
married to young man named Burrows, who
had been employed as her assistant. The
wedding party of invited guests lett Toledo
on Thursday, and the trip was very pleasant
until the party reached the vicinity of the
island, when they were struck BY squall,
were drenched wish rain, and had a rough
time generally. Mr.. Burrows watched the
party from the island, and throwing off his
wedding clothes and donning his working
suit put of in boat to their assistance. He
was thrown back by the rough sea, and came
out of the struggle with skinned nose and
bruised face. He made second attempt,
reached the tug and transferred the drenched
wedding guests, two by two, to the island,
where they were received by Mrs. EJson In
manner at once cordial and earnest.
The scene during the gale, and while the
party was still on the tug, was very exciting.
General Selvins' hat went off with the first
puff, umbrellas and parasols were turned
wrong side out in a whirl, and the awning
broke loose from its fastenings, swept the deck
where the cake and wedding delicacies were
going to destruction. Some man went to the
rescue, however, and his daring was repaid by
a vote of thanks from the ladies, who were
willing to sacrifice their bonnets rather than
that cake.
At last Mr.. Burrows had all his guests on
shore, and made himself ready for the cere-
mony. He remarked as an Introductory that
he had been twice round the world, that he
had met many women, but had never loved
until he met the woman soon to be his wife.
There under the light, in sight of the scene
OF her heroic struggle to save one man who
called her wife, Mrs. Edison became Mrs.
Burrows, and received the congratulations of
friends.
After an entertainment, in which the rescu-
ed wedding cake and attendant fixtures play
ed an important part, and after family prayer
in which the divine blessing was asked on the
nswly-wedded couple, the guests returned to
the city. -

al
The Chinese have many customs peculiar
to their nation, which strike the "outside bar
barian" as being unnatural and strange.
Their religious traditions are so deep-rooted
and so strongly fostered by superstition as to
give little encouragement to missionary labor
ers. The most striking of these supcrstitions
are those pertaining to the disposition of
their dying and dead relatives. Very often
tne aead bodies OF Chinese men and women
are found In untenanted buildings In the Chi
lese quarter OF this city, and those unaquaint-
81 .I. VIII eaeir superstitiens are prone to set
the desertion Of dying friends down as acts of
sen nshness. This, however, is not so, as the
Chinese believe that if persons die in a bousa
that they lived in before death, their spirits
will haunt the places ever after, and give un-
pleasant evidence of their presence to all who
remain. In order to prevent the manifesta-
tIons OF the restless spirit, as soon as the doc
tor gives it as his opinion that patient can
not survive he is taken to another place and
LETT alone to die: Yesterday case of this
kind was reported to the coroner. A young
Chinawoman, who had been given up BY her
attending physician, was carried bv her rela-
tives to an untenanted house on Ellis place,
oil Pacific, above Dupont. They then dressed
her in ber best clothing, spread new mating
ON the floor, and laid her on 1t. They brought
In preserves, meats, fruits, candies, boiled rice
etc., lighted some punks and retired, leaving
her alone to await the coming of the common
destroyer. During the day she died, and was
found last night. Coroner Letterman re-
moved to body, and it is now at the morgue,
awaiting the further action of the relatives,
who will probably leave her to be disposed of
by the city, as is generally their practice in
all such cases. Many Chinamen-those of
the wealthy classes-do not desert their dead
friends, and for the furtherance of this desire
there are several hospitals fitted up, in order
that those about to die may be removed there
until they have paid the debt of nature, after
which they are buried with all the ceremonies
OF the disciples of Confucus.

Under this head the Springfield Republi-
can has the following altogether sensible re-
marks: Gust now the newspaper press Is In
transition stage. The editors of strong in
dividuality, like James Gordon Bennett and
Horace Greeley, who have come down to us
like vast bouders on the glaciers of time,
stand solitary and alone, and belong to a dlf-
ferent age from our own. The men who are
now taking the lead, and who will succt ed TO
their places, have more culture and cleverness.
and are better trained than their predecessors.
while they are no less earnest and animated
by lofty aims. The Bohemian class has been
been eliminated, and however we may ad-
mire their brilliant talent, their fate was well
deserved. The representative editor is now
gentleman and family man. He does not
haunt saloons nor indulge in dissipation. He
pays his way, asks no favors, "is not puffed
up" neither does he puff up others; works
regularly and not spasmodicaly, and has
some idea of the dignity and responsibility as
well as the license of his calling. With this
improved type of journalist has begun new
style of writing. Bombast, stilted rhetoric,
ALTERATION and constant straning for effect,
are being replaced by simplicity and vigOr Of
language, logic, genuine wit and humor, and
courtesy of tone. We hear less personal
abuse, invective and malicious satire, and
more sound reasoning in dcussion."

THE OR1e1NAI, Mrs PARrrNaror .

The ORIGINAL MRS. PARTINGToN.-The
names of certain great characters are so well
known to fame, that often little or nothing
else is known about them. Homer is in dam
ger of having been born In seven different
places at once. Shakespeare's early history
Is equally unauthoritative. Nobody really
knows who old Parr was-some sceptical peo-
pie believing that after all he was only some
old humbug, who pretended to be great deal
older than he really was. And who was Mrs.
Partington? The old lady's maltreatment of
the English language is proverbial. It NAV
not be uninteresting, then, to know some-
thing of the old lady herself. The original
Mrs. Partington was respectabl, old lady,
living in Sidmouth in Devonshire. Her cot
tage was en- the beach, and the incident on
which her fame is based is best told in pas
sage from the speech OF Sydney Smith at
Taunton, in the year 1881, on the Lords re-
lection of the Reform bill: THE attempt of
the Lords to stop the progress of reform re-
minds me very forcibly of the great stnrm at
Sidmouth, and of the conduct of the exceI.
lent Mrs Partingtop on that occasion. T.,
the winter of 1924, there set in a great t1ood
upon that town-the tide rose TO an increJi'
bic height the waves rushed in upon the
houses, and everything was threatened with
destruction. in the midst OF this sublime
aud terrible storm, Dame Partincton. who
lived upon the beach, was seen at the door of
her house, with mop and pattens. frnnJIing
her mop, squeezing out the sea-water. and
vigorously pushing away the Atlantic Ocean.
The Atlantic was reused. Mrs. Paitipgton's
spirit was up. But need not tell YOU that
the contest was unequal. The Atlantic
Ocean beat Mrs. Par'ington. She was excel.
lent at slop or puddle; but she should not
have meddled with tempest" This speech
is reprinted in the collected edition of SYDNEY
Smiths works; and as this is, we believe. tbs
first time of Mrs. Partington's name being
mentioned, the Immortality she has earned
must be set down as due to Sydney Smith

around them. This treatment causes a l.-,,
amount OF new wood to form, and as tSe
flowers are on this young wood, the bushss
consequently blossom profusely. There ara
several insects that work more or less upon
the leaves. Of these the most destructive Is
a small slug or worm, that eats the varnish
that nature has spread upon the upper side Of
the leaf. causing bushes to look often much as
though the fire had singed them. These little
enemies should be met and conquered at
once, as soon as they make their apPe arance.
A sure remedy is rulverized white hellebore.
Put about two ounces into six gallons of
water, and with brush room give the bushes
a sprnkling, benCing them SO as to wet the
leaves on both sides. 1t may possibly require
two or three applications. BY this expert
