II there were any strangers in Hep
kinsville they had an excellent OPP
portunity, TO see her people last We'd
mesdny evening. The elite thc very
creme de Ia creme OF society were
out in force and no stranger could
look upon the beautiful spans of
sleek and shspely equines, the hand
some and gallant masculines and the
sweet and beautiful, bright-eyed
feminines, without recognizing the
truth of II opkinsvillc's boast that she
is tho home Of "chivalrous men, fast
horses and pretty women"
And what occasion was 1t that
brought out the very upper crust of
IIopkinsville society? That caused
| the Baptist church to be filled to its
utmost capacity, and scores TO be un.
able to obtain admittance? They
had come TO witness the nnptials OF
one oflIopkinsville's loveliest, sweet
est and most beloved daughters, to a
I gallant young editor Of Simpson
county. The occasion WIS the mar

utcs past two the happy couple Gu
tered, preceded by the ushers, Messrs.
Spcck, Buckner, Long and Cant Of
this city, and paused beneath a beau
iiful arch of evergreens, erected
amid floral decorations grouped in
artistic clusters around the stand.
The scene was almost enchanting in
its nature. Think, Of love, s. beau
ty flowers aud music, oil at once
and the happy spectator could almost
imagine himself in an earthly para
disc. The bride was beautifully at
tired In q magnificent white silk
whose loneliness was only surpassed
by that of the wearer. The proud
and happy groom was dressed in an
elegant suit of black, and met his fate
with fortitude and delight. ~
The ceremony was pronounced by
DR.. 7. G. Keen, but owing to con-
tin ual comm otion of some small boys'
in the gallery large portion of the
audience could not hear it. After
the ceremony the bride and groom re-
turned to the residence Of Capt. b.
L. Underwood, her step-father, where
many beautiful and costly presents
were presented to her. Among
others was one presented by the tour
ushers, handsome and uniquely
designed silver pitcher. The bridal
party took the evening train for Nash
vile, and thence for Franklin, KY,
where they were given a..magnificen.

King Cetewayo's Retreat Difficulties in the
Way Of an Advance Of the English.

LONDON, June IA dispatch from Cape
Town says that the information that King
CetewayO has burned the Royal Kraal and
returned to the northwest Of z1luland with q
large army is officially confirmed. The ad-
Vices are not encouraging. Lord Chelmsford
has once more abandoned his plans which he
had adopted for the further prosecution OF
the campaign, and has decided upon another
scheme, which may Or may not be found prac-
ticable The difficulties Of transportation are
enormous and almost insurmountable. Fuel
and water are both lacking on any route that
has yet been proposed.
At Kambula no fuel is to be obtained at q
less distance than four miles; at Ingwe there
is no fuel, SO that the supply must Be carried
with the troops to that place from the
Utrecht depot.
The main body Of the army has been
formed on the Blood river. One thousand
tons OF stores are now being transported to
this depot from Helpmakaar, distance Of
forty miles. Five hundred wagons are re-
quired for this eervice.
The burning OF the grass by the Zulus has
vastly augmented the difficulties In the way
OF an advance, for there Is no forage for AMI
mails. This must all be brought forward from
Helpmakaar at an enormous cost.

THE LoNasHoREAfEN's STRIKE.
The steamship companies are gradually
getting their longshoremen In trim, though
they have to employ more men now than was
necessary with old hands. They are all man
aging to get their ships off on time,
the "a only exception being the Anchor Line.
There are very few striking longshore-
men to be seen along the river front
to-day. tpsy They are gradually finding
the old rates pay BY loading steamers not be-
longing to any other line, wildcats" as they
are called, and who are now coming In fre-
quently.
The Anchor Line steamer Olrcassia arrived
to-day, bringing fifty British lonRshoremen
TO supply the places Of the strikers. They
we're at once put to work. Itis predicted that
their stay will be very short, as they cannot
work for the wages offered by the company.

THE s1LyE. BILL.
Views of Western Senator on the
Warner Bill.
The Evils into Which it will Plunge the
Country.

New YORK, June 2.-The Tribu,e's Wash
ington SPECIAL says q prominent Western
Senator. who was one Of the foremost In ad-
vocating the passing Of the amended Bland
silver bill, and who 1s known as leading BIZ
metallist, says the more he has examined the
Warner silver bill the more mischievous 1t
seemed. It is worse than it would be IL It
provided for free coinage. With free coinage
1t would take four or five years to coin
enough silver dollars to create serious dam
age.
But under the Warner bill silver certificates
to any amount would become Immediately
available for use. They I'LL would pass into
the treasury as internal revenue and customs,
and very soon the government would find
itself compelled to pay the interest on the
public debt Ii silver because it would have
~ ml.ls Hls w5Gld place our whole circulation On
silver basis, while all the rest OF the world
would maintain it's present standard. Be-
sides, It would compel the government to
carry all the bullion mined In the West and
oil the silver that comes to us from Mexico.
He said the President could not sign the
bill. and he did not believe 1t could even pass
the Senate.
The opinion is expressed here that the East
ern Democrats have pronounced against the
Warner bill in such q way that it will not be
urged In caucus as a party measure any
further.
