Wedding Anniversaries.

Fashion has established the custom OF
late wears of celebrating certain anniver-
saries OF the marriage, these being named
as follows:
The celebration at the expiration of
the first year is called the cotton we'd.
ding; at two years comes the paper at
three, the leather; at the close OF five
wears comes tue wooden and at the tenth
the tin At twelve years the silk and
fine linen; at fifteen the CRY stal wedding.
At twenty, the friends gather with their
china, and at twenty-five the married
couple that have been true to their VOWS
for a quarter of century are rewarded
with Silver gifts. From this time for
ward the tokens of esteem become rap
idly more valuable. When the thirtieth
anniversary is reached they are present
ed with pearls; ut the fnrtieth comes the
rubies; and at the fttieth occurs the
glorious golden wedding. Beyond that
time the aged couple are allowed to en-
10y their many years in peace. IT, how.
ever. by any possibility they reach the
seyenty-fith anniversary, they are pre-.
sented with the urest gifts to be OBJ
tanned at the celebration of their dia,
mond wedding. In issuing the invita-.
tions tor celebrating these anniversaries
it is customary to print them ON u mate
rial emblematical OF the occasion. Thus
thin wood, leather, cloth, tin foil, silver
and gold paper and other materials arc
brought into use. OF course, those who
accept such invitations and partake o
the hospitaIIics OF the hostess, are eX
pccted to contribute to the collection o.
gifts that will grace that occasion.

Kneeling by the window pane,
Little face upon the easement,

Whispering little lips in sadness
swish mamma would come again.
Do the angels know
How we miss below
Their sweet lovc.words;
Do they know, do they know"
"RaindrOps, have you seen my mamma
Where you came from in the sky!
Mamma gone to live with angels,
What made God have mamma die9
Wonder II when get sleepy

Do tie angels know
How we miss below
Their sweet loye.words;
Do they know, do they know ?"
every night say, | lay me
Down to sleep and then wait
For mamma to come and kiss me;
But guess II was so late
When she got way up to Star-land,
God just thought He'd shut the gate.
Do the angels know
How we miss below
Their sweet lJve.words;
Do they know, do they know?"
Softly drooped the lids in slumber,
As the leaves Of falling flower;
Gently into sunny dream.and,
Nested In its mazy bower,
While the guardian angel mother
Watched her all the sleeping hours.
For the angels know
How we miss below
Their sweet lOve.words;
Yes, they know yes, they know,

May Badly Wounded.
THE MARRIAGE POSTPONED!
Washington Being Fortified.

New York, Jan. 9.-In the recent
duel May was wounded in the right
breast near the shoulder joint. The sec
I onds were men residing IN other States
than New York. Bennett will probably
sail for Europe tomorrow Or ut latest
saturday. May has gone to Washing
ton with his friends, and will remain
there until his wound heals, Bennett ar
rived this morning and went at once to
his home. Mays wound is not danger
GUS, and lie was able to telegraph his
family, II am well enough yet, and can
write" The May family admitted re-
ceiving a dispatch from their boy stating
that he WAS slightly wounded; beyond
that they youclsaied no information.
WASHINGTON, Jan. l0.-The iribune's
Washington special says Five thousand
stands ot arms has just been received at
the Washington arsenal, and it is re-
ported an increased amount OF supplies
will also be gathered here. This is be-
lieved to be part or the preparation re.
TERED to by the President, in his inter.
view published this morning, for the
protection Of public property in the
District of Columbia and the preserva-
ton of peace.
Morton expressed the opinion to-day
that the Democratic meetings held in
this city and the west were for the pur
pose oil arranging large gathering in
Washington ut about the time the elec-
| toral vote is counted to overawe the
constituted authorities in the exercise Of
their duties. He announced his inten.
ton OF seeing whether some means can
not be dresel for providing against any
threatening demonstrations. Many OF
| the more conservative Democrats have
said the meetings yesterday were i'll
timed, and calculated to prejudice their
cause in the estimation of the people
rhey regret especially some of the i'll.
discreet utterances OF their more eXclt
able orators.
New YORK. Jan. 10.-The Times spe-
cial from Maydell, Maryland, gives the
following account by an eye witness OF
the Bennett. May duel. A farmer who
witnessed the arrival of the duelIing par
ty, SAYS: The gentlemen walked leisure
" until they reached a stone to mark the
boundary line between the two States
and then stopped. Two gentlemen step
ped apart from the remaining company,
and walked about Is or 20 PAGES, when
they suddenly halted, and turning
about, one of them returned to the
party. In few seconds two Others of
the party were seen to lay off their
overcoats and take up position. The
seconds proceeded each to load pistol
standing near one another. This was
succeeded by short parey between
the gentlemen, after which they walked
to their principals and handed over the
pistols. Again withdrawing, one OF
them called out, are you readyi and in
stantly report sharp and quick rang
out. This was repeated twice. After
the shots neither of the principals moved
from their positions for as much as a
minute or two, and there seemed to be a
consultation which lasted eight or ten
minutes, at the conclusion Of which the
entire party left the ground. Neither Of
them appeared to he much hurt, for each
walked without any assistance.
