A Plantation Wedding.

One Of the most notsble events IN the
social world of the present acaEon, EayE
the New Orleans Times, was the we'd
ding of the youngest daughter OF Col.
Eflingham Lawrence. and Mr.. Arthur
c. Gilman, of New York city. The
wedding was at the Magnolia plantation.
one nf the finest of the many iiue sugar
estates of tho lower coast ana for many
years the home of Col Lawrence. 4
very large number If invitations were
issued. and the preparations for enter
tatnmeut wcrc on a srale IN keeping with
the wcll-known hospitality of Col. Law,
renee. The steamboat Martha, chartered
for the occasion, conveyed those of the
guests who were from the city % the
plantation, where they arrived shortly
after ten o'clock. The scene ON the
arrival of the boat was n very striking
one, For II quarter of u nl,lo. at least,
along the river front there were numor-
ous hontlres, while through the orange
grove, which skirts the river and partly
surrounds tho mansion house. appeared
innmerable lights, which brought the
beautiful grounds OF Magnolia and the
many baidings Of the plantation Into
bold relief Hundreds ot calored pco-
ple-the great majority Of them former
slaves of Col. Isawrcnce--and their
children hned the river bank and filed
the grounds. The ancient mansion of
Magnolia, built more than half century
ago, and under the nhof Of which many
NJ the most notable men Of the nation
have been entertained. was made TO
appear almost like n fairy place, The
dark green leaves ~ the orange trees,
the evergreen cedar. and beautiful
white flowers were twined in wreaths
and wound about the balusters Of the
stairways and Aupg IN the. raoma, pre-
senting evaryvhere scenes Of rafe
beauty In the wedding room was an
altar. and above IL hung "a marriage
hell of orange and white howers. 4 7
The brides dress was Of whhe silk,
cut in princess style, and trimmed with
white tulle and orange blossoms. After
the ceremony aud the congratulations
came the festivities.

Ancient I.reek Ballots.

A few days ago, writes an Athens cor
respondent, | was fortunate enough to
have four in my hand-genIine ballots,
corresponding exactly 10 the description
given OF them by the Scholiast TO Fschi-
nus, and having engraved on them the
large clear letters. the Greek words sig
nifying public ballots. They look for
all the world like bronze whirhgigs.
They consist Of disk about two inches
in diameter, with an axle in the middle,
projecting about three quarters Of an
inch on each side Those which repre-
sent the negative vote have the axle
perforated, 50 that a pretty thick knit
ting needle might be passed through it;
those which represent the positive vote
have the axle solid. The ballot-box
evidently had an opening shaped like a
cross, aud each voter had two votes
given him, one bored and one unb0red.
These he no doubt covered with the
folds OF his robe, and when he eame 10
drop them into the boxes, he took hold
of them by placing bis Thumb on one
end Of the axle and his middle finger on
the other, so that no one could tell when
he dropped positive and when mega

What a RarIler Got.

An English correspondent relates the
following fresh story of the times Of the
Commune in Paris As several YER
saillese we're being led away to be shot,
one man in the crowd that accompanied
them to SEQ the shooting, made himself
conspicuous by tauntingl and reviling
the prisoners. "There, "1s said one OF
the prisoners at last, don't yuu try to
get out Of II by edging off into, the
crowd, and pretending you are one OF
them. Come back here the game is
up let us all die together :" and the
crowd was 80 persuaded that the Com
.munard's vehnmence was only assumed
to cloak his escape that he was marched
into file With the prisoners, and duly
shot.

Flint Once was sponge.

You never would think it, would you /?
but Tn told that flint really is moth
ing more nor less than sponge turned to
stone. Once the sponge grew at the bot
tom Of the sea, as other sponges, grow
now; but that was ages and ages ago,
md since then the sponge, turned TO
flint, has lain covered by rocks and earth
of many kinds piled thick above il. Seen
with microscope, flint shows the make
of sponge in its fibres; and sometimes
you can see, bedded in it. the shells of
the tiny creatures on which the sponge
had fed. Now and then, inside flint,
will be found bits Of the sponge not yet
changed. Nicholas Ma9astne.

time and concealed at an hacienda,
the owner of which was threatened

Obligation so y0ie.

There ought to be a law to COM
pei men to vote. Upon this sub
ject high authority on political
science says:
There are multitudes In countries
where suffrage iS unrestricted,
whose property is injured by mis-
government and who are continu-
ally complaining of the State OF
things around them, who make no
efforts by use of their right or sur
frage to improve 1t. Either in de-
spair or selfish disregard OF the
public welfare they stand aloof
from politics, even VIXEN a politi-
cal duty might not cost them half
an hours time once or twice a year.
On the theory that voting is q
privilege, it involves for the most
part duty; to enforce it by PEN
atty would not comport with the
nature of privilege; it would be
more reasonable to make the con
tinued neglect of exercising it a
reason for its forfeiture.

A Real Air Ship.
New York Trlbune.)


f. w. Schroeder, the inventor of
an air ship which has attracted
wide attention, arrived in this ci ~
on Saturday, intending, he says, to
build large ship of the same pat
tern ia which to journey to Eu-
rope, in September next. AT Hart
ford, Connecticut, he has exhibited
lately his air ship. The machine
consists of a balloon shaped like a
cigar, with n light car for passen-
gers beneath. The balloon is to be
81 feet long and 20 feet in dame
ter, to be constructed of silk, lined
with India rubber. Filled With
carbonic acid gas, the balloon can
he kept inflated for several days.
In the car is to be an electric ell
gine of one. half horse power, with
the machinery for working screw
propeller and rudder which are to
be attached to 1t. The balloon is
driven by the propeller and by q
pair Of wings at either side of the
car. The ship can be held almost
stationary in the air by the use ol
its machinery. The inventor is
confident that in such a machine
he could go to Europe and return
in five days. The cost of the ship
is $1,000.
