ABOUT WEDDINGs.--A wedding
must not be uncheertul; but it must
certainly be solemn to all who real
ize what it is. On the one side it is
renouncing old ties, promising to be-
gin with faith, and hope, and love,
new and wholly untried existence,
On the other, it is the acceptance of
Of sacred trust, the covenant to or
der life anew in such ways as shall
make the happiness of two instead
of one. Can such an occasion be fit
ting for revelry? Is it not wiser,
more delicate to bid only the nearest
friends to the ceremony, and leave
the feasting and frolic for another
time? We are sure there are few
girls who, if they reflect on the seri-
BUSINESS Of the step they are about to
take, will not choose to make their
loving VOW merely within the loving
limits Of their home circle. All our
best instincts point to the absolute
simplicity and privacy of wedding
services; only a perversion OF delica-
rcy could contemplate the asking Of
crowds of halfsympathetic or wholly
curious people to attend the most
solemn Of contracts. Let there be as
much party making, rejoicing and
pleasure taking afterwards as hearts
desire; but let the solemn vows be
made in the presence only of those
nearest and dearest.

ANECDOTE OF "KAISER
WILLIAM"

When rhe Emperor of Germany
was lately on visit in a distant
portion of his dominions, ne was
welcomed by the school children Of
the village. After their speaker
had made speech for them he
thanked them. Then taking an
orange from a plate, asked
"To what kingdom docs this be.

ITO the vegetable kingdom, sire, -
replied the little girl
The Emperor took gold coin
from his pocket, and holding it up,
asked:
''And to what kingdom does this
belong p
''To the mineral kingdom, sire,'
replied the little girl.
"And to what kingdom do I be-
long, then 2" asked the Emperor
The little girl colored deeply, fol-
she did not like to say "the ANNA
kingdom" as he thought she would
lest his Majesty should be offended,
when a bright thought came, anG
she said, with radiant eyes:
''To Gods kingdom, SIRE"
The Emperor was deeply moved.
a tear stood in his eye. He placed
his hand on the child's head and
said, most devoutly:
Grant that [ may be accounted
worthy of that kingdom"

Considerable attention has been Ia

Considerable attention has been lately
directed in France to process invented
by De la Bastie for Strengthening glass
so as to render it both hail and fire-preof
A sheet Of unprepa1ed glass, quarter OF
an inch thick, held in a wooden frame,
was placed on the floor of q room, and a
brass ball weighing about three ounces
was let fail On it from q height which
was gradually increased until the glass
was broken by the shock. 1t was found
that the unprepared glass was broken
when the ball fell from height Of ten
inches. A sheet Of glass only half the
thickness, but which had been prepared
by the new process, was then placed in
the frame, the same waight allowed to
fall uron it from gradually increasing
height, but without any effect when
dropped from the ceiling Of the room.
An experiment to test the resistance OF
the glass to fire was also made with
perfect success; the glass, heated in the
flame of lamp, and suddenly immersed
in cole water, not showing the slightest
signs of disturbance.

The River aud Harbor bill is
said to have been passed a. reported
by the House Committee except
that some Of the appropriations were
increased. It will be remembered
that $4,000 was reported for Ken
osha and this is probably the appro-
priation. This is much less than
should have been appropriated, bu|
if properly expended will do much
to preserve the piers and improve
the harbor.

COLORADO has been admitted az q
state, to be, sometime hence. The
territory of Colorado is larger than
all the New England States and has
an intelligent population and good
government. It is connected with
the East and the West with railroads,
and has $50 miles of railroads in
operation and 27O in course of con-
struction. 1t Is rich In mines and
in agricultural and manufacturing
resources. Denver, its chief city,
has population Of 10000, and it
is said that there are near forty
banks in the territory with a large
amount Of capital. And having, as
believed, the requisite number Of in
habitants, Colorado is justly entitled
to admission as a state.

THE SHORTEST WAY HOME,

1.-THE shortest way by half mile
I GENE SO very often by it
Is up the road, across the stile,
And through the meadow. Shall We try it,
The days were not without charm
Whom, talking soft and looking silly,
Ny love and walked arm-in-arm,
And lanes were lone and fields were Silly
We found so many things to say
That always, In the shiny weather,
We took the-wsll, the SHORTER way, "a
TO be longer time together.
We spoke about (but, goodness knows
Our topics Of confabulation)-
About the weather, I Suppose,
The crops, the harvest, and the natisn.
At all events, although the talk
Was neither wise nor witty,
We ended each successive walk
With 'Home already-what pity"
We might ha We lost little ground
Through coming by the road selected,
But both agreed that we had found
The journey shorter than expected.
Can Lies experiment support
The paradox that Love proposes
Does ANY path seem very short,
Unless 1t be a path Of ropes
We seldom find the nearer way:
And If we hit upon and take 1t,
By creeping on from day to day
It seems as long ~ length can make 1t.
The road 10 fame Is never brief.
The way to wealth is dull and drsary;
All earthly routes, in my belief,
Are very leng and very weary.
Nay-oNE that leads through care and strife
Is short, when m ortals once begin it;
We take the ''near cut" OUT Of life,
Although we take the longest IN 1t.

A delegation of thirteen from Wauke-
gan visited Kenosha yesterday to witness
the trial of the Steam Fire Machine,
Silsby. Among the number was the
Waukegan Reporter of the Chicago
Tribune, who favored US with call at
our office. From him we learned that
the Waukegan delegation felt somewhat
aggrieved at the reception they received
on arriving at Kenosha. He said that
some time ago delegation from Keno
sha to Wauksgan was expected and
that the people of Waukegan were pre-
pared to receive and entertain them but
that the delegation failed to arrive.
And cow, when delegation from Wau-
kegen came to Kenoshu, there was nc
one to receive them, that Mayor Webster
took them to the City Hotel to dinner,
but when dinner was ready the Mayor
was not there to take dinner with them,
and that in consequence of such neglect
SEINE of the delegation felt to pay for
THAR own din ners. We suggested to
the reporter that. as the Mayor had
called for their dinnsrs, IL would bs
but right they should leave 1t Tor him
10y, Aad that before reporting their
visit and reception it would be well
for him to see the Mayor, as their might
have been other claims en- his time AID
attention, and thas his being the editor
and one of the publishers of the Keno
sha Union was an additional reason why
be should see him before reporting fol-
his paper. He left with the intention oil
seeing the Mayor and Editor, feeling
less aggrieved at their reception than
be did when he called.

The Iowa ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
N. r. Leonard, of Iowa City, who
fonnd a fragment of the aerolitr
which recently fell near Homestead,
Iowa, wrote a description thereof to
the Des MONIES State Register as
follows.
The entire fragment weighed seven
pounds six ounces, was covered with
black coating on what had been
the outer surface of the meteor, and
a slight coating on the side, by which
it had been joined to the main body.
The meteor fell in a pasture field
striking upon tbs hard frozen ground
making a slight indentation, and
then bounded over thirty feet in 8
northeastern direction, and settlec
upon the snow, apparently melting
it slightly, as it was found frozer
fast to the underlying snow. The
composition of the section is appar
emily much like that of other stony
aeroIites that have heretofore beer
found in this country; it may be richel
in iron than some of them. 1t hal
the unmistakable marks otits celestia
origin on its surface and its interna
structure. Had it been found in ,
quarry, among thousands o
terrestrial rocks of the nearest allie(
species, there would have been NJ
difficulty in determining it's COS mi
character.

sire for wholesome food and frequent prespiratons
reduce bOcily energy, particularly those suffering
from the effects Of debilitating diseases In order
to keep narural healthful activity of the system,
we must resort to artificial means For this pur-
pose Schencks Sea Weed Tonic is very effectual. A
few doses will create an appetite and give fresh
vigor to the enervated body. For dyspepsia, it is
invaluable. Many eminent physicians have doubt
sd whether dyspepsia can be permanently cured by
the drugs which generally employed for that
purpose. The Sea Weed Tonic fn its nature is to-
tally different from such dugs. 1t contains no corr
rosive minerals aclds in fact it assists the regu
lar operations of nature and supplies her defcen-
eies. The tonic in its nature so much resembles
the gastric juice that it is almos identical with that
fluid The gastric juice is the naturl solvent which,
n a healthy condition of the body, causes the food
to be digested and when this juice is not excreted
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 Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic
