A MATRIMONIAL IDYL.
How Hymen Bridged the Financial
Chaos.

How Hymen Bridged the Financial
Chaos.
From the Memphis Avalanche, Sept. %.
A young man, rather good looking, did
business on Front street, kept an account in
bank, in fact didn't have cent anywhere
else, and fell in love with q handsome
maiden out in the country few dozen
miles. Numerous trips during the recent
dull season on the railroad kept the young
bachelor oblIvious to the approach of tbs
recert financial storm, and the fair inSmo-
RAJ . who had 80 won his attentions, finally
brought him to her feet. Last Thursday
was set fer the wedding day, and it came
off IS anticipated, at the rural home OF the
bride. So did something else in a rather
unexpected way. The young groom, in
company with his blushing bride, came to
the city expecting to take passage FOR up
the country on the steamer City OF Chester,
the bridal chamber of that handsome yes
sci having been bespoke several days before.
Upon reaching the city, however, the
happy young man was suddenly
thrown into high state Of con-
sterDation aBd excitement by
finding the First National Bank closed to
business, and no more checks cashed. HIS
countenance changed in Jify from tdat OF
smiles and good cheer to one of wrath and
disappointment. He ripped and tore, swore
AID raved, and finally sought solace with q
former bachelor friend. The latter tender
ed substantial aid and gave him check for
$500 on the DeSoto Bank. Smiles again
wreathed his face as hs wended his way
toward Madison street, but again changed
to chsgrin and wrath upon finding he was
just ten minutes too laIe, the bank having
suspended and closed in the meantime.
The newly-made groom was in despair,
and his condition was truly deserving OF
commiseration and pity. 1t was late in
the day before he toned down to reason
able tranquility. Finally he found another
friend who kept a good supply Of currency
outside Of bank vaults, and by putting up q
few collaterals be managed to secure suf-
fciency of tee filthy lucre to go on bis in
tended tour. The bridal party was too late
for the steamer, however, and they had to
lay over in this fever stricken city and take
railway train next day. Then they went
on their way rejoicing, and tits hoped they
are now happy in the enjoyment OF their
honeymoon, and entirely independent Of
financial institutions.

A STROUD OF FIRE.
Terrible Death OF an Invalid.

from the Dover Record, Sept. 26.
A widow lady by the name of Mary
OGwin, living near the Little Spring Camp
Ground, in Houston county, came to q
most terrible death on Monday of last week,
by being burned 10 crisp in her house. 1t
seems from what we can CLEAN, that Mrs.
OGwin hsd been an invalid for some time
past, and was unable even to turn herself
in bed without assistance. Her onlv COM
panions we're two small children, and upon
her neighbors she as dependent for many
little attentions. Needing some little arti-
Gle, she sent to a Mr.. Barnes for it. While
the children were there, Mr.. Barnes noticed
q smoke in the direction of Mrs. O'Gwin's.
He started over to see what it was, when
q terrible sight u ct his view. The cabin
was in sheet Of flames, and ss be reached
the spot the roof fell in with crash, making
a fiery grave for the poor unfortunate in.
valid, who, being unable to save herself,
became an easy prey to the flames.
The body was recovered intact, though
greatly charred and disfgured. There are
several suggestions as to the origin of the
fire, but the most charitable one is that the
old lady, who is great smoker, kept pipe
and matches at her bedside constantly, lit
her pire, from which the bed clothes
caught fire, resulting in so sad calamity.
