18th, 1879, by Rev. John 7. Sawyer, Mr..
Benjamin A. Day to Miss Jennie Allen,
oil OF this city. No cards.
g Quite host Of friends gathered at the
church to witness tho contamination of
the union of this excellent couple. Near
the appointed hour the bride and groom
took their places before the altar. A
beautiful arch of evergreens and fra
grant flowers spanned the altar and
seemed to detain them in genial clasp
while the holy VOWS were assumed-the
handsome and becomingly attired groom,
Ehappy and confdent-the lovely bride,
upon whose sweet face crimson rose
tints blushed in modest profusion, her
exquisitely fitting robe Of blue silk, fall
ing in graceful folds upon the floor, and
delicate tulle that Aoated from her mar
bio brow like tleecy cloud over the
rising sun. "Two hearts that beat as
one, two souls with o single thought"
A sacred boquet Of matrimonial bliss,
may 1t never fade and wither, but remain
like spring roses kissed by the dew.

Human FOR ELdu !

Hurrah for Elan! Elan, of Cata-
houla. He fires the first gun for Baton
Rouge. We knew it would not be
long before we should hear from the
country. We are satisfied, too, that
it will not be long before the conven-
ton will distinctly manifest it's pur-
pose Of fixing the seat.of government
in the old town, where it properly
belongs. And, by the by, we have
waited patiently to hear from "our
respected contemporary" over the way
near Natchez Alley, on this matter.
The good old paper usually follows
the Times on any new proposition in
about one week. But more than a
fortnight has passed since we an
nounced that the capital would be
removed, and we have not heard from
the Pic. Really, it mast be the State
printing. And where is the Democrat
on this subject' That paper has now
achieved its ambition and is official
journal of the convention, why should
its remain silent IN. 0. Times.
The Times should not bother itself
about the silence of the Pic. The old
lady would lose her bottom if the
Capital is removed.
The loss of the Capital would also
be q dead-shot at the business pros
poets of the Dimmicrdt
We have in circulation three dis.
tinet silver coins, no two of which are
of the same value. The trade dollar
of 400 grains, the standard dollar O
4l25 grains, and the half dollar, two
of which contain only 3S5 $40 grains
An effort is to be made to make al
the coins of the standard value, 49,
grains, and to make it legal tender
| to the amount of $50.

passed the age Of twenty -one, and his
father thought it best to encourage
the young men and also to Tease up
a little on his paternal care. Calling
his son to him one day, lie said:
"Now, John, it is about time that
you got married and settled down in
n home Of your own"
''But l don't know any girls to get
married to-" whined John.
'''Fly around and get acquainted
with some; that is the way l did when
I was young. How do you suppose I
ever got married'" inquired the old
gentleman.
"Well," said John, pitifully, "you
married mother, and I've got to marry
a strange gal"

STONE WELLS OF ARIZONA,
rArsosd rSeasisel. ]

A wonderful place IL Tinajas, about
thirty miles southeast Of Mission
Camp. The mountains have one face
Of hard, smooth granite. All the water
falling upon this basin has to flow
through nine tanks, one above the
other. The lower tanks are Of easy
access, and are often drained Of their
contents BY men and animals
travelling between Yuma and Sonora.
The upper tanks are approached only
by circuitous and difficult climping
over rocks. TO one standing below
they afford no indication Of their ex-.
istence, nor does climbing the smooth,
steep mountain side seem possible TO
one unacquainted withsthe way they
dot
In the upper tanks water has never
been known to fail. TO this water
comes game Of oil kinds in great
number from tho great waterless
country around Tinajas. Antelope
mountain sheep and deer Of several
kinds come Ii herds. Rabbits and
hares are a. plenty a. anywhere, and
are prey for many coyotes and beautiful
little rock foxes. One would think that
all this game would be tl,inncd out by
the papago Indians who inhabit the
country. But these Indians are
supcrstitious, and avoid Tinajas with
AFFECT horror. fH
Within two miles Of this water are
certainly $50 graves, and probably
more, each marked by rows Of stones
laid in the form Of q cross. Scores Of
men famished for water have ex-
pended their last strength in reaching
Tinajas only to End the lower tanks
dry, and, ignorant Of the upper ones,
have lain down in despair to die.
The remains have been buried by later
travellers and the graves marked,
Mexican fashion, by cross Of stones.
During the rush to the gold fields Of
California cholera attacked travellers
on the road from Mexico, az II did
American immigrants along the
Platte. pestilence combined with
thirst to produce corpses at Tinajas.
Recollections Of bleaclled bones and
g'ioning skulls protect the game from
Papago arroys aud flintlocks. After
passing through the usual fer
mentation the water becomes clear and
pure as any in the world; it comes
from the clouds only, and flowing into
the tanks over ins0lubie granite, It
carries no mineral matter. Every
heavy rain pours q whirlwind torrent
through the tanks, washing them out
to the very bottom; no organic matter
stays behind. The nhmber and
variety Of birds here is marvellous,
many Of them appearing to be Of new
and undescribed species. At morning
and evening tho din Of their song
confined by the sides Of the mountains,
is almost deafening. All around
'rinajas is the remarkable vegetation
Of the desert; near its tanks arc many
plants nourished by their moisture.

In common parlance, We might Say
that they are both thoroughbreds, and
when the time comes, they'll hardly
resist the temptation Of measuring
lances in the joust.
There are discordant elements IN

coming forward during the coming

for We expect to see, however, that
after the battle Is over reasonable
platform Of governmental principles
will be reached, and the extreme ele-

with the conservative Democrats, who
undoubtedly are in the majority.
IT affords Us very great pleasure "a
inform our readers and parishioner,
particularly, that oil signs are now
favorable to tho restoration Of the
Capital to our city, where It belongs,
in obedience to the thrice-expressed
will Of the people. We bid them be
Of good cheer, believing that the

that the bayonets took away while

New ORLEANS, April %, 1879.
Gov. Wiltz has fully disproved tic
rumor that was being circulated about
him which was contained in our cor
respondence Of last week--regarding
his alleged design Of furnishing his
opponents by leaving them ont Of the
committees.
We deem It but an act Of simple
justice to state that he has acted with
great fairness In the premises, and
that his conduct a. President Of the
Convention, is highly creditablc to
him and to the State. lie is exhibit
ing extraordinary talent and vigor as
a presiding officer, and the advice
that he gives, coupled with the exam
pie of fidelity to the public veal he
displays on all occasions, are winning
for him the praise Of every one.
On yesterday we were agreeably
surprised to hear read, the proposed
ordinances submitted by Mr.. Elan, Of
Catalonia, looking to tho removal Of
the Capital to Baton Rouge. This
action was purely voluntary on his
part, rs our delegation did not con-
template its introduction for several
days to come. Mr.. Elam's motion
shows that the question ia becoming
more popular every day.
An immense amount Of work was
done yesterday IN tho Convention,
and in the most systematic manner.
!, Beyond what is considered test
vote, in favor Of a material reduction
Of the public debt, nothing Of very
great Importance. a.

bers was held last night, at which

THE State CAPITAL |
MORE PAPERS SPEAKING OUT i!
THE PEOPLE DECIDED LASTFALx
NoE1cuse for Ignorance or Recreancy.

The vote on the State Capital ques-
ton last fall had q meaning, and ex-
planned itself too clearly to he over
looked or misunderstood. 1t was an
unqualified and unconditional declar-
alton to the members Of the COnven.
ton that Baton Rouge, and not New
Orleans, should be The seat Of gov
eminent. In the face of that vote 1t
is idle to weigh the advantages and
disadvantages for or against either
place any further. The people have
decided it for themselves, and it now
devolves upon the convention to exc
cute it.-Ouachito Telegraph.
The foregoing is a clear and concise
statement of tho real situation. 1t
takes u man of Col. McGranie's brains
and intelligence to say things fifty
and elegantly, and in this instance he
has submitted the matter "in nut
she'll"
The result of the vote on the State
Capital was indeed and unqualified
and unconditional declaration to tie
members Of the Contention that Baton
Rouge should be the seat Of gorcrn-
ment! In the face of this positive,
this uncquivocal declaration, it would
be criminally wrong-aye, an outrage
upon the fOrbearance of n long abus-
ed peOple--tO waste time and spend
money investigating the advantages
and disadvantage Of their decision
at the ballot box last fall.
The people have spoken in their
majesty! They have condemned this
last remaining vestige of radicalism
and its bloody vampire lips, and the
delegates will sustain them!
The question is scttlcd--it may not
be forever-but settled it is until the
people change their minds. An in
vestigation Of this question will show
the same spirit Of disregard of the
popular wishes that characterized the
radical usurpatfon.
1t will also prolong the session of
the Convention, thereby cntailing
heavier drafts upon the treasury,
which can only tend to complicate
our financial troubles and battle all
methods Of solution.
The people want reform especially
do they demand a reduction of sala-
ries. IF this is done the State officers
must have u cheaper place Of abode
than New Orleans, or else steal enough
to make up the deficiency.

New Orleans seems determined to
run the ship of State. Not content
with the election of Lieut.. Gov. Wilt
as chairman of the constitutional con-
vention, her people are determined to
leave no stone unturncd to defeat the
will of the people as expressed at the
ballot box, and secure their city as
the seat of government for Louisiana.
We earnestly ask the delegates from
the country parishes to be on the
alert,-CIinton Patriot Democr0t
Our esteemed conircrc spcaIs out
like a patriot. We admit that the
politicians in New Orleans will leave
no stone unturncd to defeat the will
of the people and secure that city as
the seat of government; but there is
q hope in the fact that the Convention
is composed of some of the best ma
terial the country parishes afford.
When it comes to brains and legal
ability, character and integrity they
are the peers of any similar body that
ever assembled from an equal scope
of country and we assure our anx-
ious confrere, they will see that the
will Of the people is respected and
Baton Rouge be made the State Cap
ital. We have assurances that Baton
Rouge would carry the day by a hand
some majority when the capital clause
is brought up for adoption.
