sTRUCK IT AT A .

John I. CHM, local reporter Of the
Carson Daily Register, got married last
evening, as may DO seen by due and
sufficient notice under the appropriate
head. Newspaper men always value
their wives at 81, 600, 900, consequently
John has suddenly become a million
Eaire, He always was OH the marry,
and we are glad for his deserving sake
that he has at last succeeded. 1t In
spires even US with fresh hope. By
special invitation we had the felicity
OF being present at his taking of. 1t
was done at the residence Of the BRIDES
mother In Carson, and a goodly assem-
blage Of ladies and gentlemen were
there to assist by their moral support
on the trying occasion. The cake and
the wine were vigorously disposed Of,
and everybody seemed deeply Inter
ested, but the marriage ceremony itself
was OF course the principal Item. Miss
Lucy Harris and the Hon. A. G. Hay,
of Gold Hill, acted as bridesmaid and
groomsman. CHM, In his local Of this
morning in tho Register, gives a graph
10 idea Of this interesting episode In
his mortal existence, waxing quite elo-
quent and flowery over 1t, and charac-
teristically proceeds to Jenkinsize his
W wedding, thusly "The bride
was attired In a superb white satin
dress, court train, with flowing sleeves,
basque of same material, trimmed with
white fringe; an open collar Of white
English thread-lace a heavy flowing
veil of spotless white hair, In rolls,
with flowing curls in rear, crowned
with white orange wreath; q bouquet
Of white orange buds and flowers on
breast ; an octuple diamond breastpin ;
pendant earrings with-double diamond
sets; white kid gloves; white lace
handkerchief, attached to the hand by
n gold ring, chain and clasp; bronzed
CATERS, etc. The bridesmaid wore a
white Alpaca dress, cut court train,
with point waist, the whole trimmed
with lace and silk Of purest white ; a
point applique lace collar; hair, In
braids and rolls, with curls adown the
center, and oruamented with q semi
wreath Of white orange flowers q bou-
quet of white rosebuds and green leaves
on breast black CATERS vernated with
silver, etc. The bridegroom and grooms-
man were also dressed" Now we
rather object to this last little clause.
OF course they were dressed" Mod
esty compels him to say that they
were dressed. As q matter of justice
we will state that CHM was rugged out
in black broadcloth pants, boots well
"shined," a white vest, black frock
coat with skirts cut biased, blue neck
tie, and hair a Ia George Francis

tie, and his hair was frizzled and
anolnted with a good smelling embro-
cation. The lovely bride never looked
so interesting, but CHM was evidently
a little nervous and restrained un-
til some time after the knot was tied,
when wine aud the congratulations OF
his friends apparently made him feel
better and moro at ease. They re-
ceived several neat and appropriate
presents, such as napkin rings, etc.,
but the queerest was what Uncle John
Booth, of the Silrer State, Unlonville,
Humboldt county, sent. The box con-
tanning 1t was not opened till most Of
the company had dispersed. From
beneath a lot OF pretty pictures for
adjoining their cottage walls, rolled
out q peculiar shaped gourd. Uncle
John must have meant it for an aGrl-
cultural hint or o start in the way Of
vegetables. It created quite q sensa-
ton. All joking aside, however, John
I. CHM Is a real flrstrate man, and his
young bride a true good woman. They
have any amount Of warm friends to
them everlasting joy and pros
