Elegant Weddings.

There are elegant weddings transpiring ev-
cry night in New York. The other evening
the most brilliant affair of the season was
comsummatsd. Ten thousand dollars was
expended for flowers alone.
A very large room in the house was set
with tank the size of the apartment, which
was filed with water to represent lake.
Shrubs and choice exotics bordered TITLES
foated upon it, and tiny boats fashioned OF
flowers were adrift upon the tide. Every door
was removed from the interior Of the house,
and garlands of roses with trailing vines sup
piled their places. Even sets Of chair ana So
fas useless, of course) were fashioned Oh
camelias, and the floor was deeply strewn
with choice floral carpeting. Wtnm an ar
hor Constructed of orange blossoms, tgure
in white velvet gave her heart, or its counter
felt. to another figure in full dress. Perhaps
the two will find sufficient bliss in the
Thought of the splendor of their wedding to
last them couple of years. But, Pm think
ing, people in these times who will throw
away so much for an hours triumph Of mere
display, will find their boat a wreck before
life together is half croned. There are not
enough of the dear old fashioned weddings
now-a-days. The necessary aim for the young
men is, first rich, then marry. Is the word
help-meet obsolete wonder? The age would
not be so fast, nor so free in license and
practice if we could slip back into our grand
parents ideas about courting and matrimony;

History Of the Newspaper.

In an article upon the ''Press as an Educa-
tor, Judge ]. J. Noah, author of the re-
markable article on Hebrew education in the
report for 1870, gives concise history of the
origin, rise and present development of this
great power in modern civilization, both In
the United States and in foreign countries.
He traces the history of newspapers back to
the war between the Venetians and Solyman
III. in Dalmatia, in 1858, when people paid
coin called gozetta tor the privilege of listen
ing to news from the seat of war, read from
written sheets. A file of these written Vene-
tian paper, for sixty years, is in the Maglia-
beechi Library at Florence. He thinks the
origin of the newspaper was in love of gos-
sip and slander rather than from higher mo-
tives, and considers it ''creditable to the
press that it has, in the march of progress,
achieved higher and nobler purposes" The
year 1922 is given as the first authentic date
of the newspaper in England. The first daily
paper was published in 1702, sheet Of one
page with two columns, colled the Daily Cour-
ant. The famous petters of Junius, printed
in the Public Advertiser in 1857, gave great
impetus to the power and importance of the
press. At the beginning Of the present CEN
tury the London Times circulated only 1000
copies day, through the circulation of some
other papers was as high as 1900. The
Times in 1914, November 10Th, claimed to
have presented to the public 'the practical
result of the greatest improvement connected
with printing since the discovery Of the art it
self'-the application of the power Of steam
to the printing press. In 1915 there were 254
newspapers published in the United King
dom, and IS in London Us dailies). In 1929
this number in the kingdom had increased to
1876 in 1888 to 400; in 1850, 800.
In the United States, the first newspaper
was issued at Boston, September 25, 1890.
The first paper issued in New York was in
1725, October 16. In 1900 there were 200
journals in this country, of which several
were dailie. In 1885 there were 1000. In
1871 there were 5,963 periodicals issued in the
United States, of which 894 were published
in New York state, and 81 in New York
city,. An interesting table shows the COM
paratiye development of journalism IN Eu-
rope and in the United States The writer
claims that much more money Is expended ON
our great metropolitan Journals than on any
of those in Great Britain or Europe-both
from the fact that all expenses incident to the
business are larger, and also because Of great
er enterprise on the part Of publishers and
editors. UtW

CHARLESTON, Jan. o 1872.
In 1888 Capt., Of an artilly company
of South Carolina, was killed in battle in Vir-
ginia. His body was placed in coffin, and
this boxed up and brought to the home Of
his family, at that time in Columbia. 1t ar
rived about a week after his death. On its
arrival his dog, that he had reared and petted
During his life, was at the front gate, and, ap-
pnoachms the hearse, began to smell about,
and manifested much excitement. When the
coffin was removed from the hearse, he ran
under it, and followed IL into the house be-
tween the pall-bearers. Althoesh a week had
elapsed since his masters death, and his body
recognized him by his sense Of smell alone.
When the coffin was laid on the table in the
parlor, the dog laid under it and remained
there for eighteen hours, until the funeral on
the next day. Upon the day succeeding 1t
was observed that the dog had not been seen
since the interment. Search was made for
him, and he was found lying upon his late
masters grave, shivering in the cold rain,
that had been falling for some hours. He re
fused to leave his position, and had to be tied
and led home, where he was turned loose.
In a short time he was again missed, and ser
want was sent to the cemetery, where he was
again found in the former position. He was
carried home and chained up. He now refus-
ed either to eat or drink at all, and only lay
moaning. Upon the morning Of the third
day he was found dead. Such an instance OF
affection of dog 1 have never known sur
passed, particularly as this is fact beyond

A Serious Mistake for Married Man to
Make.

A little incident occurred in front Of the
International Hotel, Virginia City, few
days ago which is worth the room of local
to relate. There resides in Gold Hill mar
ried mana tall, good-natured Scotsman
whose wife went on a visit to the East some
eight months ago. A couple of weeks ago
she wrote him letter that she would leave
for home and that he might expect her to ar
rive in Virginia City on certain day. At
the appointed time our Gold Hitler (who had
scarcely talked to any living woman since his
wife left for the East), anxiously waited on
the sidewalk in front of the stage office to en-
brace his long-absent wife; and several of his
friends noticing his impatience, inquired the
cause, when he enthusiastically informed
them that he expected his dear wife, who had
been absent for eight long months, and he
would be so happy when she arrived, that II
would be equal to getting married again, and
he was sure she was on the incoming stage,
as she wrote exactly the day she would start
for home, and it took Just so many days to
come ON the ears, and the time was up, etc.
The stage arrived and drew up in front of
the International Hotel, where our friend
had already engaged comfortable chamber
as he knew his wife must be tired and sleepy
after such long journey, etc. The passen-
gers all got out of the coach except one lady
on the back seat, who was deeply veiled, and
had on thick, checked shawl Our Gold
Hill friend made rush into the stage 70 en-
brace and kiss his wife-he knew it was her
by the check shawl she had on, as it was the
one she left home in-and just as he was
about throwing his arms around her neck,
and pushing the heavy brown veil aside to
get good smack at her lips, deep, sonorous
voice from under the veil exclaimed: 'sNeyer
mind, chile, kin get out myself, kinP'
Horror of horrors! could such a thing be that
it was not the long-expected wifei The would
be husband wi.hdrew from the stage and out
bounced big, fat, colorsd woman of at least
two hundred and fifty pounds IN weight, and,
throwing aside her veil, she cast a terrible
pair of black eyes at the intruder, with this
remark: "You can't fool dis gal afore all dis
crowd" The disappointed husband asked
the crowd into Captain Vesey's saloon to
take drink, provided the whole thing was
kept secret-which has been strictly observ-
ed His wife has since arrived, and he Is
happy, but he swears he will burn up that
check shawl she wore when she left home
No more check shawls for him.-lGotd HUI
