The following notice of the marriage OF
Miss Nellie Sizer, daughter of Dr. ]. s
Sizer, formerly of Jackson, we clip from
the Dallas (Texas) Commercial, which was
kindly handed us by gentleman of this
city. Those of us who recollect Mrs. Belt
as little school girl, can hardly realize in
her the same person so brilliantly described
by our Texas contemporary:
| "The marriage of Mr.. W. D. Belt and Miss Nellie
Sizer which was soemnized at the Commerce street
Christian Church, last night has been a society
topic after quiet manner for time past. The
popularity of Mr. Belt, both as business man and
an agreeably sOeiable 'ntleman and the high posts
ton in the kingdom of bellies which Miss Sizer ha-
occupied, served to surround the affair with halo
of more than ordinary interest. Consequently. al
belt the general understanding was, that the wed =
ding was to be an exceeding quiet one, the large
audience room of the church crowded by the
friends and admirers of the: contracting parties to
witness the solemnzatiOn OF the ceremony which
was to unite happy hearts, and at the same tina
rend from societys ranks two of its brightest orna-
ments.
At few minutes after the hour set for the cere-
mony rush was noticeable at the door. Immed-
ately afteTward Professor g. A. OFT, who presided
at the organ began to render the sweet notes of the
bridal march from Lohengrin. As the exquisite
notes welled up, the busy hum of the audience was
hushed and the bridal party entered. First came
the minister, Elder Kirk Baxter; behind him fol-
lowed the ushers, Messrs W. II. Curry, and Charlie
Baxter, and in succession came Mr.. VIM. Belt
brother of the groom, and Mr.. Halter Sizer,
bro her of the bride; NJ ,jor and Mrs. B. P. Jett
DR.. Sizer bearing the bride upon his arnI and Mr..
Belt with Mrs. Siyer, the mother of the young lady
As the parties halted, the contracting parti took
position in the center Of the space, and Mr. Baxter
occupying place in front of them, performed the
beautiful and impressive marriage ceremony Of the
Christian Church That par Of the programme being
over the MendesOhn Wedding March now welled up
ard the couple, with their attendant friends, turn
ed and, passing out OF the church, took carriages
and drove TO the Union Dept, where the SOUTH
bound train was boarded for Galveston and New
Orleans. The bridal trip will extend to those cities
and will occupy abo 1t ten days.
In its proper place should have, hut forgot to
state, that the altar of the church handsomely
decorated with eedars, oeanders in full bloOm and
fragrant geraninms The decorations while OF sim
pie character were of elegant kind and displayed
rare degree of taste and skill
As the wedding not intended to be an elabO-
rate one the bride her travelling costume.
This consisted of an combination suit of brown
bourrette and bronze silk, short basque with rrin-
eesse skirt and demi-train, hat and gloves to

As well as we can,
Wewill picture man,
Who though young, is terribly blue;
Who is tatterad and torn,
And very much worn,
And has nothing in the world to do.
He has good parts
But is ignorant of the arts
By which men get their bread
He isapt at books,
And has good looks,
| Yet wishes he was dead
| The flowers bloom fair
! On his parents tomb there,
His conduct gave them an untimey grave;
They counseed him swcetly,
To act discreetly,
All no, he is an outcast and knave.
Some beautiful day,
| He suddenly grows gay,
And tries to forget the past;
He assumes bright smile,
But it lasts short while,
For the devil is holding him fast
OF course he thinks,
When he gets few drinks,
There's no bigger man than lie
Or when talking out loud,
In froeking crowd,
Singing " Nearer my God to pnee"
The girls, with their smiles,
And fashionable styles,
Have.broke his heart and his pocket;
And like boy when licked, or a lover lust kicked
He wonders what next is on docket.

And all his friends treasures,
To pretty considerable amount
He gets so low, there's no further to go,

SEurrna the jeweler, Seutter the artist
we arc undecided Which of the two deserves
the lue ribbon first. The latter certain
ly has, of late, made things lively iii the
Photographic art. Among other choice
pictures, Mr.. Seutter lately photo
graphed the Jackson Silver Cornet Band, a
group of fourteen star musicians Every
likeness is distinct and excellent, and it is
certainly the best out door group we have
ever seen photographed. The classic por-
tails of the State Capitol as a back ground
to the group Re fleets credit on the artists
choice and taste. Large glowing life-like
portraits, however, are Mr.. Seutters special
ty; taken from life, or as enlarged copies
from old and faded pictures.
From among lot of fattering testimo-
mails, Mr.. Seutter showed US, we publish
the first that meets our eyes; space not per-
hitting more:
PoTosI January 30. 1879.
Your favor enclosing the small photograph came
and yesterday the enlarged copy. Your
success not only satisfied, but really gratifes me.
The likeness to the copy is very decided and true,
considering the many defects Of the picture you
copied from. l regard your work very skillful and
artistic. w. L. HEMINGWAY. |
In short, for fine artistic work, and for
copies and engagements, Mr.. Seutter can
not be excelled.

SPREEING SOLDIERS.

Numerous Arrests-One Armed With a
Huge Revolver and Murderous Knife.
The election was Tuesday, and the United
States soldiers who were adjoining the streets,
yesterday, with their uniforms and hilarious
DRINKS, got in too late to be of service at the
polls. Anyway the streets, yesterday, were
subjected to an Eruption of the typical U. s.
soldiers out on shameless drunk after pay
day Over forty were roaming around, and
score of them got into the lookup of course.
The first batch, couple of DRINKS, were
brought in yesterday afternoon by Officer
O'Keefe. Fast upon his footsteps Capt. Clark
and Officer Newell brought in burly uni
formed ruffian. This fellow first started dis
turbance in the American House He pulled
out murderous looking butcher knife and
Moran expostulated with him, and thereupon
he backed the bowie with revolver. At this
Moran called for the police. Capt. Clark was
at hand, came in, cautioned the soldier and or
dered him out. As the soldier got out the
door he brandished his knife and
around for Captain Clarks vitality
if he dared come out. The captain took the
dare. grabbed the rGffian, and Officer Newall
and Detective Bresett coming up, disarmed the
man. Much against his physical protest Capt.
Clark yanked the burly fellow to the st ton
anu locked MIN up. he was booked as SrlVate
Foley, Co. "A, Second cavalry. Foley was fol-
lowed by two comrades, who showed at first a
disposition to interfere, but the strength of the
arm of the law, in the person of Capt. Clark,
induced them to abandon the idea. They were
very meek at the station, and went off to wait
for Foley to sober off and get back to camp on
time on his pass.
During the night the police picked up a
dozen at least of these soldiers enjoying a
drunken bivouac on the sidewalks. The saw
ing clause may be written, that the mob are re-
cruits for the Second cavalry, in camp tenn
porarily at Fort Smelling, and do not belong to
the veteran and disciplined garrison there.

PAROLE TO THE FORE AGAIN.
LONDON, May 8.-Parole has retrieved his loss
day, by winning that for the great Chester
handicap stake which took place to-day, the
last of the Cheshire meeting. Lord Dapplins
four.year-old chestnut gelding, which won the
Chester trades cup, got second place, and Lord
Legh's four-year-old bay colt Sir Joseph, the
third. There were eight starters. Parole car
riedy 1874 pounds, Refer 1l8 pounds, and Sir
Joseph lis pounds. The distance Of the course
is nearly one mile and quarter, and the race
was for three-y ear-o!ds and upwards. The bet
ting at the start was to l against Flatsam, 5
to 2 against Ridotto, to against Lord We'll
toms colt, to.2 against Parole, 8 to against
Sir Joseph, and IL to against Refer. Flat
sam made the running attended by Ridotte and
Lord Welton's Fragrance colt, Parole and Sir
Joseph lying off until entering straight, when
Sir Joseph and Parole closed up. The favorite,
however, was soon in trouble and Parole COM
ing through the bunch as he approached the
distance won by three lengths. There was a
neck between Refer and Sir Joseph.
The Sportsman says Parole won yesterdays
race in the commonest canter. 1t declares
there can be no question that he is good horse,
but does not think there is much to be feared
by English owners in the Ascot, Goodwood or
Duncaster cups. In the Gold city race at Ep-
som he will carry fifteen pounds less than
Touchet, and should, therefore, reverse his
Chester cup form.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.

A Wisconsin Visitor Induced to Take a
Ride-Made Drunk, He is Assaulted.
Robbed of His Money and valuables, and
Thrown Into the Bushes to Die.
A daring and sizeable highway robbery was
reported to the police yesterday. The robbery
occurred the night before, and the victim got
to town at an early hour in the morning, but
didn't give away his loss until the afternoon.
First and foremost, the robbed calls himself
Joseph Patois and claims to have lost $685. and
a watch. The parties who manipulated him he
names as Murphy and Schroeder. The bust
ness was perpetrated as follows:
Patois halls from Wisconsin. There he had
met Murphy and Schroeder. He met them
again in this city Wednesday afternoon. In
their company he crossed the bridge in wagon.
When out on the Mendoza road "a bottle of liquid
refreshment was pulled cut. All took pull,
and Patois pulled SO often that he became
completely befuddled. The next thing he knew
was that he was violently seized by his COM
brush on the roadside. He finally recovered
himself and made his way to the city.
His story was recited to Capt. Clark, Detec-
tive Bresett and Sergeant Walsh. They at once
made it their business to hunt up the robbers
and before night-fall arrested one Murphy
man. Henessey looks disreputable and equal
to any such emergency. Furthermore he's
been about town for several days as very
seedy disciple. Yesterday he doomed up as a
capitalist, ready to treat the boys. Henessy
was arrested at his boarding house, and made
stout resistance for time, but was finally
made to come along. Schroeder, his
com panion, is still at large
The presumption is strong that Hennessey i,
