| A GOLDEN WEDDING.-Quite an inter.
eaAng afsair came off on Monday last If
our little sister town of Milneburg. Thi
was the celebration of the fiftieth anniyer
sary of tho marriage of Charles Faoot
lighthouse keeper at that place, and hit
estimable wife, Virginie Bienvenu. AGED
respectively seventy nine and sixty-eie
United in marriage at one o'clock on Mon
day, April Is, 1922, this excellent couple,
atty years later, again called around them
family and friends, and on Bonded knees
thanked God for blessings past, and i'm
plored their continuance. Father Subilau.
of st. Augustine Church, conducted the
ceremonies. The scene was striking in the
extreme. Present at the golden wedding
tins remarrlage we may term it-were four
persons who were among the original we'd
ding guests, while gathered around the
venerable pair were at least score of
lineal desce nlants. who -Aad-eeme- gladly
and proudly together to do honor to their
beloved ancestors. Both parties are natives
OF Louisiana, born in the parish of st.
Martin, where they have hosts of relatives
and friends. Married in st. Martipsville in
1877, they lived there many years, during
which Mr.. Fagot held various public posi-
lions of trust and honor, aud always will,
the highest credit to himself and friends.
Removing to this city, he was soon given
the position of keeper of the lighthouse
located at Milneburg, on the beautiful Lake
Pontclartrain. Originally appointed by
Franklin Pierce, he was reappointed by
Abraham Lincoln, and, after nineteen
years. service, he still holds the position,
free from shadow of stain or reproach. A
veteran of 1915, he loves the name of jack
son, and never wearies OF sounding the
praises of his gallant leader. Eight chill
dren. four sons and four daughters, were
the fruit of this marriage, all Of whom still
live, except the eldest son, Charles, who
fell in the Confederate army. OF the re-
naming seven, five were presant on this
interesting occasion, with numerous chill
dren, numbering more than half the forty
lineal defendants of this most worthy |
couple. Rarely has a more purely Creole
family group been seen than the one here
assem- bied, and most worthily did they JUS
tify the pride growing out of that title.
French was the language used, and n any
present could converse in no other. Natives
Of Louisiana, many of them had never been

and all, without exception, are familiar

PAPA SURPRISED.

PAPA SURPRISED.
One evening last week we witnessed littl
impromptu, family festival, SO beautiful in it
simplicity we cannot help sharing it's enjoy
ment with our readers.
Learning it was our friends fiftieth birth
day, we dropped in with a few others to wisl
him happy new year-but, behold the bene
tciary was absent. Presently, however, hi
came Zone, after a rather hard days work
having almost forgotten it was his anniversary
But not so his children. They had taken DOS
session of the front parlor early in the evening
and had locked out all the "big folks" till papa
should arrive.
Now they shouted Come in !" and on enter
ing the room we beheld quite artistic tableau-
rirant, representing Poetry, Painting and Music.
After awhile the statues left their pedestals,
and forming group around pater tami1ias the
eldest child addressed him:
DEAR PAPA!
This is your birthday festival
And we have assembled to-day
To wish you great joy for the future,
White Afeclions fond trihnts o Pey..-.s..s.,z
Fifty long years have passed by you.
The last has just lett your head
The touch of it's shadowy fingers
When into the dim paat it sped.
Yet each noise!ess. invisible finger
Has marked all your fol ebead with care
And we learn how your heart has been burdened
BY the mystical characters there.
But to-day we besecch you forget
The Past with its shadow of pain,
And welcome the Present, whose promise
May, we trust, through the Future remain
Your children present YOU a token
or their joy and affection most true
This cup, which is filled with message
From each of our young hearts to you.
The cup Of the Past too often
Held drops that bitter as gall
Though you with humble submission,
/Cheerfully drank of them ALL
= May the cup of the distant Future
Be flied with that better wine"
Which was given the guests in Cana
By the hands of the Master divine
Twas drawn at the close of the bridal,
Yet twas sweeter than all the rest;
Thus, as Life draws to its closing,
Be its wine the sweetest and best.
May Peace, and Hope, and Endurance,
With Health and Success upon Earth
Fill up your cup to oerdowing
And sprinkle your heart and hearth
With those eopious drops of plenty
Which refreshen earth dreary day,
While others, drinking it's fulness
Gain strength on LIES wearisome way.
And when limo with its burden is over,
In happier lar d than this,
May you drink to the fullest measure
From the cup Of Eternal Bliss"'

Pathological CuriositicS.

There are a number of words in the
English language each of which con-
tains all the five regular yowels, but it
would puzzle almost any one to think
of more than one or two at short no.
tice. The following may be given as
examples, Education, mansuration,
reputation, regulation, emulation,
perturbation, reputation, Besides
these there are several words each con-
tanning all the vowels, including the
"y" OF these we may mention revo-
lutionary. elocuuonary and unques-
tionably. The word lnyisibihty may be
noted as peculiar word, for 1t con-
tains the letter - six times. Missis
sippi and Tennessee are each spelled
with only four different letters OF the
alphabet, although one contains eleven
letters and the other nine. Schnapps,
a word of one syllable and eight letters,
contains but one vowel There are no
words in the English language of more
than eight syllabIes, and Of those con-
tanning that number We may mention
incomprehensibility.

From the Columbia {Ga.) Spectator.
About II o'clock on Sunday there en-
tered this town from an easterly direc-
ton male and female rider. They
rode leisurely upon the public square,
exciting no particular curiosity IN the
minds of those who saw them. After
making some small purchases at a con-
fectionery in this place, and inquiring
the nearest and best route to Horse
Cave, the riders disappeared from town,
taking the Glasgow road. Subsequent
ly these persons proved to be Galen f.
Taylor, of Casey county, and the wife
of Geo. Launum of the same county,
all neighbors. They We're fugitives
from that III matrimonial sense, Tay-
Tor having unlawfully possessed him.
self of Lannum's wife, and the two en-
deavoring to escape together. A short
time after they had ridden from town,
perhaps half an hour, single horse
man rode in their wake, passing hur-
riedly through town, taking the direc-
ton of the above mentioned parties.
This was George Lannum, the husband
OF the woman, who, couple Of hours
later, was brought into town prisoner,
he having overtaken and killed Taylor.
The tragedy occurred at the residence
of Mr.. Joseph Dohoney, a worthy oiti-
zen Of this county, residing two miles
out on the Glasgow road. Taylor and
the woman, when the husband appear
ed upon the scene, We're seated at Mr..
Dohoney's tireside, resting and await
ing bodily refreshments, which the
family were providing. The riders
horse had been stabbed and saddles
left at the front of the house,
and it was by these that he knew that
he had come upon the escaped. Dis
mounting, he advanced toward the
house, and in passing up the yard was
observed by Taylor through the win
dow, who had risen to his feet, and was
standing upright when Lannum en-
tered. His entrance was the instant
signal of hostilities, and without an in
terchange of words each drew re-
volver, and the deadly fire began, Two
of Lannum's shots took effect in lay
lOr's breast, in the region of the heart,
producing death in less than thirty
minutes. Lannum escaped with two
bullets through the lappels of his coat
and vest, and slight wound on the
back of his lefthand. Lannum surren-
dered and was brought to jail, the wife
accompanying. Taylor leaves a wife
and seven children.

Treatment of Prisoners.

The Tichbolne claimant in Newgate
is in common cell. in which but one
change has been made. Owing to the
prisoners weight, wooden bedstead
has been substituted for the usual
hammock The only persons allowed to
see him are the Jail officers and his
lawyer. Like any other prisoner, he
is allowed to have meals from outside,
but he is not permitted to have shmu-
lants. The guest Of New York City,
Mr.. Stokes, is in jail for murder, but
his apartment is luxuriously furnished,
and the little levees and dinners he
gives to his friends are among the dain-
test OF entertainments.
