Marriage BEFORE the FoOt.Iights

Marriage Before tine FOOt-Iights.
They had novel performance in the
Varieties Theatre, San Francisco, a few
evenings since, performance not mem
toned on the bills, aud probably an un
precedented one. 1t consisted of the
marriage, between the acts, Of Miss Vim
ME Florence Radcliff, Of the variety pro-
fession, and Morris Welsh, clog dan
Ger, connected with the establishment.
At ten o'clock, we are told, the curtain
rose amid flourish from the orchestra.
The stage represented drawingroom
scene, in which the bridal party, with the
full strength Of the company in the rear,
made their appearance. The bride was
dressed in white silk, with the usual veil
and orange blossoms; the bridesmaids
also in white. The bridegroom was
decked in kids, white vest and claw.ham-
mer coat. The member Of the appeared
in their regular stage costumes. The
waiter girls hovered next the wings,
dressed in tights and short dresses, and
altogether the appearance Of the bridal
party, hanked by negro minstrels, jug
glers and eccentric Dutchmen and ballet
dancers, was something novel. Amid a
breathless hush, the Rev. E. q Simmons,
Baptist missionary, stepped forward,
and with the strange scene illuminated
by the glare of red fire and accompanied
by strains Of the wedding march from the
band, he performed the ceremony. The
most impressive silence prevailed while
the benediction was pronounced, and
even whensthe curtain fell, the crowd
seemed niggardly in their applause; but
few minutes after, when the bride ap.
pearedi iu a private box, their pent-up en-
thusiasm found vent in tumultuous de-
monsHations and continuous calls for a
Song. The bride was Immediately led
before the curtain and rendered Silver
Threads Among the Gold, " while the
rude revelers in the body of the house
yelled in mannerwhich made the build
ing vibrate. Mr.. Welch, the newly.wed-
ded husband, was then called out, and
performed a clog dance with more than
usual vigor $1,000

An IntcriiEent Mouse.

Austin (Nev.l ReVeflle.l a3
A poor little mouse, whose home is
under the floor Of the Reveille office,
came out this morning to forage for his
breakfast. Seeing some printing lax
which had been spilled on the floor, be
thought that would make good meal,
and he went for it. After nibbling a
little while, he became frightened at a
noise made by those watching him, and
started to run back to his hole; but the
ink beng Of sticky nature, be found
his feet held lest to the floor and himself
unable to move whereupon he set up a
doleiulsqueak In few moments along
came larger mouse, probably his
father, who seemed to take in the situa-
tion at glance, and at once commenced
an attempt to release his diminutive
relative. He stepped carefully over the
ink till be came to the little mouse, and
laying hold of the back OF its neck with
his teeth, tugged away till he released it.
The affair was witnessed by several per-
sons, who were so interested in the novel
sight that they offered no molestation to
the animals.

TIE MIss1ss1pp1 AND TIE DANUBE.

An ardent opponent Of tha scheme, now

mouth OF tho Mississippi by ietsies, writes q
long letter to Tie Memphis ArahnchH On u,at
theme. His argument IL, in brief, that tho
josty.plan'a having worked well at tho mouth
Of the great Danube does not prove that 1t
will work we'll on the greater Missiaaippi,
because the two rivers dlder greatly. Tho
min points Of difference, according to him,
aro, tho greater area Of the A1issisAipp!; IT,
creator volume OF water, the greater amount
Of sediment It holds In solution; its 1aok OF tho
firm banks that served to support tho Danubo
jcttiea and the difference In the winls aud
the shore currents Of tho two harbors. All
this, II true, Is somewhat important. It
shows that tho SUCCESS Of the scheme on the
Danube ia not tho absolute proof Of Its sue.

THE HD1LDIN9-INsPECToR ORnINANOE.
Tho new ordinance which laa just passed
tho Common Council, crcnting tho Office Of
Inspector Of Buildings, is shnm md fraud,
which can serve no other purpose than to
open up additional avenues of corruption and
b'nekmail. There is nothing in the present
building Inv which required tie passnge Of
sucl measure, and there Is no e1igancY in
tho condition Of tho city which requires it
either. If tho Mayor, md tho Bonrd of Pub
lio Works, md tho Police and Fire Depart
monta cannot enforce, or have not Tie dispo-
sition to enforce, tho present laws, it Is t,sc-
less to expect that this Building superintend-
ent anu his eleven assistants will succeed any
better. Tho whole purpose OF this ordi-
nnnco is 10 create twelve now Offices for
idlo bummerB or Aldermen ont OF bust
ncsa. Tint this is the purpose Of the
ordinance is ori1ent, frat, from the fact that
it invests theso dozen oflcin1s with no new
powers, and, second, from tho compensation.
Tho fifth section provides TINT the Superin-
tenlent Of Buildings and the inspectors shall
be able and experienced architects or builders
competent to perform all the duties OF the
office to which they aro appointed, and that
they shall not be employed or engaged in
any other vocation, nor DO interested in any
contract for building or furnishing materials
for such purpose. Tho tenth section provides
TINT tho salary Of the Superintendent shall
not exceed q, ono. and TINT Of each Inspect
or shall not exceed $1,000 per nnnum. Is
not this absurd upon its very face? Does any
one imagine that builders OF architocta nre
going to accept M Office with this pitiful
salary and bind themselves not to engage in
ofdco7 Is any ono 20 blind o. not to be able
to see that theso Offices hnye been created
with mere nominal sala1y attached to them,
80 that aone Of the political bummera hang
ing on to tho present city administration may
havo Al opportunity to enrich themselves by
blackmai1? That ia all there is 10 this ortli-
nanco 1t only offers premium for corr11p-
ton. It takes 913 900 In saln1ies out OF the
taxpayers, md MS much more probably in
running expenses, to put into tho pockets Of
dozen do~nothings, and exposes the public
to amy demands which the greed Of these
men may lead them to make, for tho onforco-
ment Of which they ara guaranteed an oppor-
tunity, as tho ordinHneo allows them tho
right Of entering any building or premises
In the City Of Ohicago." How the public
will relish this new Outrage romans to bo
seen, bnt inassnuch as it secms disposed to
g1'bn.it to the abuses heaped upon It by street.

material protest, It will probably nlso yield ID
this latost municipal schcmo for supporting
