MARRIAGE OF AN ILL-AsSORTED PAIl
SOME FOOD FOR SOCIETY GOSSIP.

MARRIAGE OF AN ILL-ASSORTED PAIR
SOME FOOD FOR SOCIETY GOSSIP.
Yesterday considerable astonishment was
created in this city, especially in the upper
circles, by the announcement that certificate
Of marriage had neen issued for young man
Of good family and high social connections,
and frankie Christie, a well-known ballet
dancer, now performing at the Theatre
Comique, and that the marriage ceremony had
been performed and that the two were one.
The report gained but little credence, but a
friend of the young man looked into the matter
and found that such was the case, and that
the ceremony had taken place at st Johns P.
Z. church, the assistant rector officiating. The
fact was soon spread, and many censures wire
placed upon the young man for going SO far
below his alleged position in society in marry
ing a woman of this class, and especially one
so much older than himself. AS soon as the
young man was satisfied that the report was
true he sent a telegram to the father at New
port, R. l., informing him of the circumstance,
but as yet no answer has been received.
THE GROOM
is youth about nineteen or twenty years of
age, dark hair, about five feet three inches
high, and rather delicate looking, not weighing
over one hundred pounds. He attended the
best schools in the country, and was at West
Point nearly year, but owing 10 his inability
to pass the required examination was retired.
THE BRIDE,
a blonde, is about thirty years of age, and has
been engaged in the variety business for some
years past. She is above the medium height,
and is considered rather good looking. Lately
she has taken the part Of Frailty in the Can
can now being performed at the Theatre Com
ique, and Is quite favorite of the audiences.
Last night, as usual, she performed her part
in the Can-can, and, as a matter of course,
was the centre of attraction and the subject of
much talk and comment in the COmigue. The
groom during her performance occupied po-
sition in the audience near to the stage, and en-
joyed her exhibitions with much pleasure. On
the conclusion Of the performance the groom,
in company with his bride and the grOomsman,
proceeded from the theatre to Pennsylvania
avenue, when the bride charged the grOOms-
man with "giving the thing away" This was
denied, and he started to leave the party, but
after considerable coaxing from the bride he
consented to accompany the couple home, and
took tie BRIDES arm and walked
down the Avenue to the Continental hotel,
where the bridal party are stopping for the
present.

THE POUND BRIGADE.

SAD HAVOC OF THE CANINE SPECIES.
7SIE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN some weeks
since gave graphic account of the Blodus op-
erGnR for the capture of unmuzzled dogs run
ming at large, and also the disposition made of
them. In the article there was also given the
difficulties encountered by the poundmaster in
carrying out the orders of the Board of Health,
and the tricks resorted 10 evade the law. The
Board Of Health, in order to beat this class of
people, resorted to a new dodge, and instead of
going en- their raid at 9 a. m, concluded to
start few hours earlier, so in accordance
with this instruction Bdgad!er General Eighn-
stign, commanding the pound brigade, had the
assembly beat yesterday morning at 8 q. m,
when the troops of his command soon fell into
line with the necessary ammunition, and after
the proper orders from the commanders
marched from headquarters to the stronghold
of the enemy.
After reaching a certain point in the line of
march, It was decided to throw out skirmish
line to feel the position of the enemy. Not
long after the line was formed and ready for
attack an enemy was seen, who was ambushed,
and the officer in command at once gave the
order, forward" Shortly thereafter the firing
began, and the line was engaged In a conflict
with overpowering numbers. Gen. Eighnstign
seeing this, soon marched his reserves to the
front and became engaged in the fight. At
first he was rebuiTed and driven back, and his
men became demoralized. This the General
saw was a sad state of affairs, and knowing
that he would suffer dismissal from the army
determined 10 make an effort TO rally his men,
and taking the colors q metz Of the brigade
from the standard bearer, waved them over
his head, and ordered me men to follow him.
This encouraged the boys, and soon again the
line was formed and on it marched with deter
mination. A charge was made, and the pound
brigade succeeded In routing the enemy, and
causing their lines to become broken. The
pound brigade followed for several miles, but,
finding. the opposing command demoralized,
ceased the pursuit and encamped for the bal
ance Of the day, when 1t was found that forty
four prisoners had been captured and forty-one
Of the enemy had been killed. During the day
nine were released on parole.
General Eighnstign will to-day, in obedience
to orders issued from the commander-in-chief,
(Dr. d. W. Bliss,) continue his pursuit of the
enemy and leave no trace Of any opposing foe
on the soil,

cannot be purchased now an offer has been
made to rent It until such time as the affairs of
Jay Cooke can be settled up so as to have the

tained, they will look out for some other good
one, and may possibly be enabled to obtain the

FIRE YESTERDAY AORNLYG-TWO
WnKEN SEP LnTrCLY TNITrRE

HOlHEh DEhIOOOLI I'M OhEO.
Officer Longstreet, of the Fifth police pre-
cinct, yesterday morning, between and
O'Clock, turned in an alarm of fire from box
%, occasioned by the discovery of fire in house
No. SIS Ninth street, next door to the St.
Cloud hotel, owned by DR.. J. C. Hill, and oc-
cupied by Mrs. R. G. CabeI. The fire depart
ment responded promptly, and although the
building was an entire loss, they succeeded in
saving the adjoining ones. 1t is supposed the
fire originated in a closet under the stairway,
and it is also supposed to have been caused by
an incendiary, as no evidence that anything had
been stolen was manifest. At the time of the
fire Mrs. Cabell was asleep, as also the colored
servant girl-the latter in the first story.
Mrs. Cabell, on awaking, discovered the pas
sageways to be filled with fire and smoke, and
seeing no other method of escape she let herself
down from the second-story window to the
pavement below, falling with such force as to
fracture her right arm and otherwise bruise
herself, though not seriously. She was taken
to the house of Mrs. Wood, opposite, where
Drs. Lincoln and Han attended her. All the
furniture in the house was destroyed, including
many fine and highly-prized paintings. Mrs.
Cabell was the daughter Of Mr.. Garland, for
merly a member of Congress from Virginia.
She was a grand niece of Patrick Henry, and
family, including silver plate and a fine paint
ing of Patrick Henry addressing the House of
Burgesses, nearly all of which were destroyed.
A trunk Of plate and valuable was rescued du-
ring the progress Of the fire.
The servant girl, on being aroused by the
smoke, Immediately ran to Mrs. CabelPs room,
and finding that she had just got out of the win
dow, attempted TO return, and rushing through
the flames she was badly burned. Officer
Miller, who was on duty at the time, attempted
TO turn in an alarm from the Medical Museum,
but get no response. The loss TO the building
is about 1000, on which there is an insurance
Of 81 800 in the Franklin company, of this city.
Mrs. Cabell is about seventy years Of age and
quite heavy woman. She is unable to CON-
pute her loss. Mr.. ELS, patent agent, who oc-
cupied the front basement, also loses some by
water.
The adjoining house, owned and occupied by
Mr.. Shrtner, was slightly damaged. 1t was
insured in the Firemen's Insurance Company
Of this city, and early yesterday Mr.. Howard,
agent for the company, was on the spot, and
after an estimate of damages by assessors
profered the award on the spot.

ANOTHER LETTER ABOUT THE LYNCH
BURG FLAG.

BURG FLAG.
lYNCHBURG, VA, July Z, 1874.
To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR Your correspondent Subscriber" hav-
ing announced the fact that full-hedged Con-
federate flag is displayed on the boat of one of
the lawyers of this city, the Ns'us, Jubsl Early's
rebel mouth-piece, bids him not to fear, as the
thing is no longer dangerous. We dare say
that Subscriber" )" who faced the substance, is
not afraid of the shadow, and merely men,
toned the matter in order that the public
might know the shallowneEs Of the professions
of Virginia gentlemen" for reconciliation
and peace"
The explanation Of the Mems, that "the boat
club never owned q Confederate fag," will
hardly be accepted as sufficient when It is
known that the man who floats this flag is
very prominent member of the club, and that
he has been conspicuous in the effort to secure
national aid for the completion of the James
River and KaGawha canal, on the waters of
which he displays his rebel banner.
Very truly, UNION JACK.

scnESoK's SEA WEED TONIC.

In the atmosphere experienced here during the
summer months, the lethargy produced by the
heat takes away the desire for wholesome food,
and frequent perspirations reduce bodily energy,
particularly those suffering from the effects OF de
bilitating diseases. In order to keep natural
hsalthful activity Of the system, we must resort
to artificial means. For this purpose Schenck's
Sea Weed Tonic Is very efectuaL A few doses
will create an appetite and give fresh vgof to the
eneryated body. For dyspepsia It is invaluable.
Many eminent physicians have doubted whether
dyspepsia can be permanently cured by the drugs
which are generally employed for that purpose.
The Sea Weed Tonic In its nature is totally DIFF
feTent from such drugs. 1t contains no corrosive
minerals or acids:in fact, II assists the regular
operations Of nature and supplies her deficiencies.
The tonic In its nature so much resembles the
gastric Juice that It is almost Identical with that
fluid. The gastric juice Is the natural solvent
which, In q healthy condition Of the body, causes
the food to be digested. and when this juice s not
eIcreted in sufficient quantities indigestion, with
all its distressing symptoms, follows. The Sea
Weed Tonic performs the duty OF the gastric
Juice when the latter Is deficient. Sehenek's Sea
Weed Tonic sold by all druggists.

IT Is A CRIME
to exhaust still further the vitality Of an already
feeble invalid with sharp evacuants and other

weakness or periodic fever was ever cured in that
way What the debilitated sufferer needs is a
remedy in which the properties Of an InviRorant
