A Notable Wedding.

Mrs. Annetta Wilhelmina Wilkens
Hicks, a lady who has been celebrated
for years for her beauty, her wardrobe
and the magnificence of her entertain
ments, was married recently to Mr..
Thomas Lord, one of the wealthiest re-
tired merchants of New York. The
marriage ceremony was performed pri-
vately by Cardinal McCloskey in the
archiepiscopal residence on Madison
avenue. Immediately after the cere-
mony, Mr.. and Mrs. Lord started upon
a wedding tour. The dress which Mrs.
Hicks wore at the ceremony is said to
have been very elegant, and was brought
by her from Paris. The lady is de-
scribed as tall and handsome, showing
very few evidences of having lived i3
years, the last twenty of which she has
passed in almost continued gayety in
New York and in Europe. OF Mrs Lord s
early life little is accurately known. 1t
is stated that she is native of Fishkill,
of good family, and that when she was
young, her great beauty and spirit at
tracted the admiration of a wealthy old
gentleman named Thomas Hicks, who
and brought her to New York, where
she Immediately entered fashionable
life, and very soon surpassed all cOmpe-
titors in elegance of manner and dress
and in skill in arranging social enter
tainments. She went to Europe, and
there attracted great deal of attention.
Her tastes were very expensive, and
her husband becoming temporarily
embarrassed, she was compelled, for a
brief period to reduce her expenditures.
Mr.. Hicks died shortly after this event,
leaving her the possessor of large
quentity of real estate, most of which
was situated i'm Toledo, Ohio. Her in
come now becoming greatly augmented,
she resumed giving entertainments Oh
grand scale at her house, No 10 West
Fourteenth street. Here Mr.. Lord first
met her. About four years ago Mrs.
Hicks went to Europe. She made her
way rapidly i'm society in London, and
was formally received at court by
Queen Victoria. 1t has been reported
that she was engaged to various British
noblemen, and when General Robert c.
Schenck was minister at the Court of
St. James, it was stated on apparently
good authority that he would bring her
to America as his bride. In Paris, she
repeated the success she had attained in
London, and she travelled frequently
between the two cities. The last recep-
ton she gave i'm the British capital was
in the middle of last October. General
Grant was then her principal guest,
and, among the party assembled to greet
him were representatives of the highest
society of Great Britain. Shortly after
that festival, Mrs. Hicks made ar
rangements to return to New York, and
arrived here about November 10.
Mr.. Thomas Lord is about eighty
three years of age. In appearance he
is still hale and hearty. He has, how.
ever, considerable difficulty in walking
He is about five feet and ten inches in
height, and weighs about 200 pounds

Rubies.

1t is not little remarkable, and We
might philosophize for sometime about
it, that while the diamond is made up
of pure carbon, or simply blank and
opaque charcoal, the ruby, the next in
value and beauty, is nearly made up of
pure alumina or common clEy-98.5 per
ent-the coloring matter, iron, making
up the rest of it, the mere trace of lime
found in it being unappreeiable. Moth
ing, we may venture to say, in natures
chemistry is more wonderful than this
fact of the dull, colorless and lifeless
clay becoming metamorphosed by seme
hidden and almost miraculous way into
the transparently clear, red colored,
and almost living gem. Imagination
itself fails to find theory to account
for all this, and no progress in chemis-
try can invent a theory to fit it. 1t is a
somewhat curious coincidence that the
ruby, as well as the diamond and other
precious stones, is SO often found asso-
ciated with gold. Where they are, there
is gold almost sure to be present. Ma
ture produces these, her riches, together
and it afterwards is the province of art
to keep them together and to exhibit
them as one object.

The Rough House of Hamburg.

The "Rough House of Hamburg" is
an institution which our philanthropists
would do well to study. Forty years
ago Hamburg was renowned for being
the wickedest city in the world. sits
vice was more open, its materalism
grosser and Its religion more of sham"
The only hope of reform was among the
younger classes of criminals. A few
spasmodic efforts were made 10 teach
and refine them, but all in vain, until
at length even these were given up, and
respectable Hamburg folded its hands
and wondered at the wickedness of its
neighbors. Then a certain Emmanuel
WicherD, firm of purpose, and believing
in the old maxim, desperate courage
makes one majority" put his hand to
the enterprise-his heart in the work
and carried it through.
The enterprise, like the famous
Refuge of Fritz Muller, has never asked
for State or individual aid, and has
always been amply supported. In
October, 1882, Emmanuel Wichern and
his mother opened the door of a small
cottage, known as "Das Rauhe Haus,'
announced their purpose, and waited.
At the end of a week three boys had
come; at the end of two months there
were u, all that the house could hold.
Their ages varied from to 10, and they
were uniformly stepped in crime. Such
band fpermaturely developed rascals
was probably never collected together
before. Wichern was a sentimentalist,
and the only rule of the Rough House
was love. There was no restraint; the
inmates came at will. A high wall
which surrounded the grounds was re-
moved, in order that there should not
be even the semblance of forcibie
control.
AT the end of year the first, twelve
boys were reformed. Applications for
admission poured in, and the twelve
built themselves new house and gave
up the old one to the new comers. Then
house was built for girls. The day
it was finished it was filled,
and filled with the vilest of the vile.
The boys had given trouble enough,
but the girls were by far more wicked
and unmanageable. But Wichern's
sentimentalism conquered here, too.
From that time to this, the Rough House
of Hamburg has pressed Oh in its tri
umphant career. 1t now consists of
thirty eight separate houses, owns 400
acres of land, and educates yearly more
than l, 100 boys and girls. OF lis $4,000
graduates, not more than 3 per cent.
have fallen. 1t has given rise to more
than 500 similar reformations in Prus-
sia. or these, that of Berlin, founded
in 1858, is the largest, and keeps busy,
merely in the work of superintendent,
forty-eight men. The order of the
"Knights of st. john" Of which We
heard so much during the Franco-Ger-
man war, was founded at the Rough
House of Hamburg, and now controls
all the kindred Institutions in the coun-
try. Emmanuel Wichern is still at the
head of affairs.
Juniata sentinel and Republican. [volume] (Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pa.) 1873-1955, 1878-01-30

A saloon-keepcr in East Broadway
was approached by policeman the
other day, who said:
"Mr. Harkius, | do not want to ar
rest you, but you have violated the ex-
else law. If you will put some other
person behind the bar, Ill take him
in."
The proprietor of the saloon was in
fix. Two of his brothers and brother
in-law volunteered to 90 behind the bar
but Mr.. Harkins said "No." He went
into the street and encountered Mr..
johnson, an East-side tramp.
"Johnson," said Harkins," "wilI

ed. He saw chance to slyly supply
himself with drinks. He took off his

Elephant Stories,

One of the performing elephants in
the Great London Circus, known as
Ned, has been suffering with sore
throat, which although not so bad in
his case as in that of a giraffe or con-
ger-eel, is still sufficiently annoying to
disturb elephantine equanimity. 1t
appears that his keeper, George Ang-
stingstall, has been obliged to force his
food down his throat, and the opera
tion, being both painful and unpleasant
proved too much for the great beasts
affection, philosophy or sense of duty.
He therefore twined his trunk around
the operator and playfully flung him
distance of about forty feet. Fortunate
ly this improvised aerial excursion end
ed in a canvas screen, and Mr.. Ang-
stingstall was more startled than
hurt. If he had met brick wall in his
flight, he would probably have been
killed.
This incident has been made a text
for discourse upon the ingratitude Of
elephants, but it is putting rather high
estimate on the intelligence of even the
most intelligent brutes to expect them
to understand that their keepers must
sometimes "be cruel only to be kind"
or to ask an elephant not to resent what
must have appeared to him a most un-
warrantable liberty. 1t is, however, a

weil-known fact that these huge crea-

weil-known fact that these huge crea-
lures preserve very lively memory
Of injuries, and are wont to repay them
with Interest whenever they have an
opportunity. Some years ago there was
an elephant of uncommon size and in
telligence in the London Geological
Gardens, who was the original hero of
an incident which has since been relat
ed in different ways. He was as well
known to the frequenters of the Gar
dens as the bear-pit Itself, and was a
great favorite with children, to whom
he behaved with gentleness that was
almost pathetic. At word from his
keeper he would tenderly wrap his
trunk around the body of any child
bold enough to make the experiment,
and lift it gently to his own broad back
and was evidently delighted at the trust
reposed in him. The nursemaids and
the babies always brought cakes for this
elephant, and sometimes gingerbread
nuts, of which he was particularly fond.
Among his regular visitors was a young
man, who always gave him bag of
these nuts, and the elephant soon learn
ed to know his benefactOr. One day
this young gentleman offered to the
elephant bag of nuts strongly season.
ed with Cayenne pepper, and the big
beast unsuspectingly opened his mouth,
dropped the nuts into il, and began to
munich them up. His throat was of
course badly burned, and he trumpeted
aloud in his rage and pain. Near him
stood bucket, which he picked up and
handed to his keeper, thereby signifying
his desire for water. He drained pail
full after pailful, while his tormentor
stood near laughing at The success of
his pitiful trick. The keeper of the
had occurred, warned the young man to
depart, but ne refused to go. Suddenly
the elephant, having slaked his thirst,
seized the bucket BY its handle and
hurled it with terrific force at the head
of the practical joker, and with so true
an aim that the missile missed its mark
by few inches only, The pail was
shivered to atoms against tree. Had
it struck the man it would have killed
him instantly.
The same elephant, we tell the story
as told by his keeper, dropped an apple
which rolled into the adjoining stable
of = rhinOceros. By inserting his trunk
between the bars of the partition be-
tween the two structures, he was able
to touch, but not to grasp the coveted
fruit. He made repeated efforts to OBJ
tain it, but in vain, and at last appar-
emily abandoned the enterprise. Sud-
denly he again thrust his trunk through
the bars, and with a mighty snort,
blew the apple violently against the
opposite wall. On its rebound it came
easily within his reach, and he ate it
with every token of satisfaction.
Whether his act was the result of reason
or chance our readers may decide for
themselves.
