hear it said that there nothing sure but death,
but there is now one other certain thing, and that
is the removal of every Republican incumbent of
any Office that the democrats can reach. IN the
House the axe is falling with the regularity Of the
tolling of funeral bell. The disabled Union
soldiers are going out one by one and the ex-Con-
federates are taking their places. For the past
several years there have been in the employ OF the
House of Representatives, twelve disabled Union
soldiers, performing duties Of light character
suited to their various degrees of disability. At
the democratic caucus these men were on duty as
usual in charge of the doors leading to the Hall,
where the caucus was in session. There was great
excitement, and great clamoring for edmittance
TO the lobby by interested friends Of the various
candidates, xho not entitled to that privilege.
In the performance of their duties, Of course, the
Union boys were obliged to say mo to their i'm

manifest their devotion TO the cause in De-

sincere respect for those who like hiin

HIS WERE THE CRUEL PARENTS.

The Indianapolis (Ind.) Sentinel, OF
Thursday, has the following account Of
the elopemen. of youth: "The contem-
plated trip Of John Z. Ferguson to the
Centennial was postponed by not who'll
ly expected event early yesterday morn
ing. The trip had been kindly arranged
by his father for what he fancied was the
best thing that could be done for the
young mans health, as he had heart dis
ease, having been hopelessly afflicted for
about year. There was but one cure,
and the old folks at home were determined
he should not take that prescription. In
other words, John loved the charming
Miss Matte Dollie, and she heartily recip-
rocated, but the cruel parents would not
consent, but on the contrary commenced
coaxing him to 60 to the Centennial,
where the worlds show might change his
mind into other channels. John was de-
termiDed not 60 to the Centennial, as Chi
cago was his objective point. So he ar
ranged his wardrobe SO as to have free
access to 1t at all hours of the day and
night. Yesterday morning he was up
with the lark, and calling on Miss Matte
at her adopted home, Mr.. Rockwood's, on
East Ohio street, they. with few friends
met Rev. 0. s. Dean by appointment, and
were married, and at once drove to the
Union Depot. There they were greeted
and warmly congratulated by all who had
been taken into the secret. The groom's
brother put in an appearance, but could
not prevail upon them to reconsider the
contemplated tour to Chicago. Both par
ties to the affair are we'll known in socie-
ty and general favorites. The bride is a
beautiful brunette. daughter of Lafay-
cite lady whose husband was killed dur
ing the war. For a year or more the
young lady had been clerk in the Trade
Palace. and for eight months had made her
home at Mr.. Rockwood's. whose family
had taken a paternal interest in her. She
is said to be a most amiable and lOvable
woman, and will win the favor of her hus-
bands family, if they but give her an op-
portunity."
