Those terrible enemies of human happi-

heretofore seemingly u~ncOnquerable, have
indeed found their master in jenkins, An

of the highest standing in Louisiana and

baDle pains for years, from which they
sought relief in vain by visiting the Hot
and Warm springs of Arkansas and Nir-
ginia, and by using dozens of remedies
more or less highly praised, when, in fact,
hope had almost died out, they have found
relief from pain by the use of the Annihi-
lator, and by continuing it for a short
time, have been perfectly cured. The An

The St. Louis Globe Democrats WASH
ington correspondent writes Socially,
Washington Is at standstill--no din
ners, no dressing, no dancing, no recep-
tons, and nothing going on generally
save an occasional wedding, one Of
them that Of Mr.. Beale, nephew Of our
late Minister to Austria, and Miss Car
rol, pretty little representative Of Ma
ryland's first family. The ceremony
took place at Sc. Johns, and the church
was filed with the friends, who duly
admired the blushing beauty, in her
white silk and orange blossoms. Presi-
dent and Mrs. Hayes graced the occa-
sion, together with the most Of their
Cabinet and all Of the Diplomatic Corps
present in the city. A reception at the
house followed the ceremony, &C which
the President and his wife were the chief
guests, the President cutting the brides
cake, and helping every thing to 90
merry as marriage bell.
Next came Lieut.. Franklin, Of the
navy, and his wedding will furnish forth
= plot for magazine story. Two
months ago he was tlourishing his mer-
curial heels with the abandon Of sin
gle man at Monday hop at the Navy
yard. An introduction 10 Miss Fanny
Ross took place; they .waltzed once, met
often afterwards, were engaged, and
one week after the engagement were
married and started at once for san
Francisco, where they take the ship and
sail to his station IN China. This ro-
mantle marriage met with the interest
and approval of all their friends, and
they started on their trip with host Of
congratulations. II was he receiving
his orders to join the Chinese Squadron
that precipitated matters with the Lieu
tenant, and with that dash characteristic
Of the navy he at once put all TO the test,
and succeeded in carrying off with him
beautiful wife.

ARK, ohio, but Failed % Win.
A special from Columbus, o., to the
Cincinnati 00xeffe, 18th, Is Is follows:
Quite sensation was caused in the
ncighboring town Of Newark few DAYS
ago, the particulars Of which have been
kept from the public by the newspapers
and authorities Of that place. 1t Is
stated, however. that brief paragraph
did get over the telegraph-wircs in re-
gard TO il, but it was so dressed up that
nobody ws'ild recognize Il as describing
the event referred %. II appears that Il
daughter OF one Of Newark's most prom-
inent citizens was for months in CORE
spondence with young man named
Faulkner, residing at Lincoln, Illinois,
which resulted in an engagement OF
marriage. About 10 days ago Faulkner
appeared in Newark, and sported about
for several days, telling the family Of
his inamorata that he had just come into
possession Of a large bequest, amount
ing to upward Of $4,000. lie was quite
lavish in his expenditures, and took no
pains to conceal the fact from his i'm
mediate friends that he had cash in his
Irt'Tt'"@'fA w htNtil ltG tliiONUt 1UOit
stated. In fact, he several times placed
from $4,000 to $4,000 in the hands Of
his prospective father-in-law for safe
keeping while he made short trips to
neighboring towns. Upon his arrival in
Newark, Faulkner sought the lady and
urged an immediate contamination Of
the marriage, but she declined, SAYING
it was impossible, as she was not ready
and could not make arrangements for
the wedding at once.
Faulkner was importunate in urging
an immediate marriage, and finally told
her ne was going East and he would give
her eight days 10 make up her mind on
the subject, and If she was not ready
when he returned, the engagement was
to be declared of. Faulkner according
~ left Newark, but only went east a
short distance, when he took another
train and went up to Chicago Junction;
but while in that place he was bounced
upon By couple Of detectives from lii
nois, and arrested upon charge Of
forging checks upon four banks in Lin
coin, H., TO the amount Of $4,000.
Faulkner was taken back to Newark, il
is understood, and thence to Illinois.
1t appears that the officers were on his
track while he was in Newark, and got
wind Of his stopping at Chicago juno
ton by intercepting letter which he
wrote TO the lady from that point. The
most vigorous pumping failed to elicit
the name of the lady, who was almost
wild with joy over her narrow escape,
rs she was more than once upon the
point Of consenting to an immediate
marriage.
When arrested Faulkner had upward
of $4,000 upon his person.
