How A JEwEss MARRIED CHRISTIAN
| Mr.. H. L. Oliver, young lawyer Of good stand
/ ing at the Nashville bar and OF respectable
family connections, was married to Miss Han
nah We'll, daughter of Mr. S. We'll of this city,
at her fathers residence, Friday evening, by
! Justice Creighton. Feeling that her parents
would oppose the match, as it is against the
! Jewish creed to iutermarry with other people,
she went to her father, and put to him the fol
lowing insurmouutable QUESTIONS:
Father, how old am l?'
| Father-Nineteen years old, my daughter.
| Daughter hen does young lady become
of lawful age?
Father-At the age Of eighteen.
Daughter-Then am free to act for myself,
am not, father?
Father-I see 90 objection to it.
Daughter-Well, then, MIR. Oliver loves me
ever so much, and | love him ever SO much.
want you to consent to our marriage, Tor If you
do no. fear we will have to run away, and Id
much rather be married at home
The father was very much astonlshed at her
pointed Inquiries, and more so when he found
her betrothed Christian gentleman, but,
after pondering the matter while, gave the
sensible response, "WelI, if you are bound to
marry | would rather you would be quietly
married at home"
And so the young people were married and
left for Huntsville that evening. Dg.-NdShuHe

An economical system uf street lighting has
been brought to the attention Of the Boston
Aldermen Outside of an ordinary street lam
teru, near the top, is placed cyliuder-shaped
tank, filled with fluid, which is fed through a
pipe extending to the interior Of the lantern
and terminating in gas burner. By means Of
chemical process, the fluid 90 its passage
through this burner, is converted into gas,
which on being lighted, gives bright, steady
fame resembling che best coal gas. The tanks
are of capacity sufficient to last IA hours, and
the expense per hour is said 10 be one-thlrd
less than coal gas. The tanks are usually filled
during the day, and in the evening, when the
lighter comes around, he brushes off the dust
from the lantern while the light is started thus
osuriug clean lanterns every day, ,one man being
able to care for and light not fewer than 80
lamps. This system has been introduced III

About half hast one o'clock yesterday morn
ing Mr.. George stegmaier, residing at No. lil7
North Capitol street, was alarmed by noise In the
lower part OF the house and getting up from bed
he went down stairs to see what 1t was. He found
two colored men there, one OF whom attacked him.
MIR. Stcgmaer struck his assailant with boot jack
tack and Mr.. Stegmaier was overpOwcrcd. The at
tack upon him was desperate and brutal The
burgars, for such they proved to be, cut Mr. Stcg-
maier about his hands, face and head, and beat
him terribly. They then made their escape from
the house. When Mr.. S,cgmaer was found he was
unconscious, and he remained that way during
tended him. The injuries are severe but not dan
gcrous. The burglars entered the house by pick
ing the lock Of the back door. They had evidently
not been in the house long when their proceeding
were interrupted by the appearance Of Mr. Steg.
maier as nothing was missed from the house.
