Booty In q Flower Bed.

A THEFT of $50, 900 from the mint in
San Francisco has been traced, and the
plumber has been discovered in q Curl
Gus manner. A colored Waterman
named Smith was suspected, and his
house was examined without the dis
coyery of ANYTHING. The officers then
armed themselves with spades and be-
gan to investigate the soil of the yard.
fhev first discovered unmistakable
traces of smelling work. This cheered
them on, and they continued turning
over all the soil until in corner of the
ward near the fence they struck iron. and
their spades turned up battered and

rusted away. Examiningit and the frag.

SINGULAR MARRIAGE.

a Beautiful and Accomplished Young
Lady of Beaver, Pa, Welded to .
COlOred COal.Nliner.
A social sensation of an unusual char
acter has come to light in Beaver
County, Pa, only few miles from
Pittsburgh. Annie Moore, or Jones,
as she must now be called, is the only
daughter and youngest child of we'll
TODD gentleman, United States Gov
eminent Storekeeper in Indiana Coun-
ty, but resident of Beaver. Her three
brothers occupy positions of public
esteem, two of them being talented
members of the Beaver County Bar,
and one an accomplished Philadelphia
physician. The family is highly con-
nected, ex-Chief-Justice Agnew being
her uncle and Judge Hice Judge Of
Beaver County, her cousin by mar
riage. She is q beautiful and highly
educated girl, twenty years of age, but
has always been of headstrong dispo-
sition, and, being an only daughter,
she was allowed to have pretty
much her own way. 1t is reported
that one of her brothers reproved
her day or two ago for some reason
or other, which highly offended her.
She left home yesterday, which was
the last that was seen of her until this
morning, when George Jones, a COL
ored coal-miner, walked into the house
of the Rev. Robinson (colored) at
Rochester, accompanied by ner. Mr..
McGowan, Clerk of the Commissioners
of Beaver County, passing by, was
called in, and, though not recognizing
Miss M. at first sight, witnessed the
marriage ceremony. Miss M. being of
rather dark complexion, it is possible
that even the clergyman was ignorant
of her social standing at the time. The
couple quickly returned to Beaver, and
made immediate arrangements for
housekeeping. They went to what is
known as the Marata place, near the
Fair Ground, a small house of four
rooms, which they share in common
with several blacks. She then sent
home for her piano and trunk.
1t is needless to say her strange freak
has greatly distressed her family and
friends. The community is greatly ex-
cited over the remarkable affair, and
some of the young men freely talk of
bouncing the negro for taking advant-
age of the thoughtless girl, but the
elder and wiser heads counsel forbear-
ance. They think that out of respect
to the esteemed family no further no.
tice should be taken of the matter, the
tabooing of society being about suf-
ticient rebuke, for, though her choice
was of course distasteful to all, she had
a right to form q matrimonial alliance
with whom she pleased, and miscegs-
nation is by no means q crime in this
State.
Jones was formerly a servant of the
family, but it was not known that he
had any intimacy with the young lady
who is now his wife.-Rttsburgh May

WHAT BABY FORGOT.

YOU will think this story
Strange, now, expect,
What our precious baby
Didn't recOllect!
She had seen the Summer
FADE into the Fall,
Watched the long cold Winter,
SnOwfiakes, storms and all!
But when bright eyed Spring came,
With her merry train.
Birds. and buds, and blossoms,
And the April rain,
Then our little damsel
Opened wide her eyes!
Great was her rejoicing.
Great was her surprise.
o the pretty violets
Hiding by the rills,
Buttercupe, and clover blooms,
Golden daffOdils!
Running streams and laughing breeze,
Birds. and bees, and bliss!
y, my baby didn't think,
Didn't dream, of this!
Baby had forgotten
All about the Spring!
All about the birds and buds,
Every single thing!
Thought the cold gray earth
Wouldn't change her dress,
But 60 shivering on and on,
FOrevermOre, guess!

Bridal Costumes.

SATIN, the traditional fabric for
wedding dresses, is also the fashion
able choice this season. Both plain
and brocaded satins are used; the lat.
ter are in large leaf or flower pat
terms, or else in small polka dots. In
some rich dresses the entire dress is of
plain satin. while in others brocaded
satin is used for the corsage and train,
with plain satin for the front and sides
of the skirt. Modistes say the we'd
ding dress has distinctive style pecu-
liar to it, somewhat severe, and en-
tirely different from that of any other
dress. The train is made longer,
wider and more severe in shape, flow
ing quite plain from the waist, and is
untrimmed. The panier effect, if
given at all, is very slight, and is
made by a scarf passed around the
hips and held by orange blossoms.
The garniture is displayed deliberately
on the front and side cores OF the
skirt. The corsage is basque cut
high in the back, with low square or
V-shaped neck, and transparent
sleeves of lace or of pearl trimming;
these may reach to the elbow or to the
wrist, as the arms require. Pearl
beads in passementerie and fringe are
much used for trimming white satin
dresses. A pyramid of the fringe is
on the front of the skirt, the neck and
edges of the basque are finished with
it, perhaps there are panels of pearls
on the side cores, and the sleeves are
made to look like a network of pearls,
as they are made of length
wise strips of the passementerie.
Pearl-embroidered fronts of the
skirt and an embroidered vest
for the basque are imported
ready for use. The beads are
iridesoent pearls showing op al tints,
and are strung on threads, and wrought
in loops and branches in the needle
work. Handsome laces are always in
fashion, but are especially desirable

"Why, did not see you whisper

school.

asked boy for knife, and did sew

"What of that if you told the truth?'"
laughed Willie, bravely.
In a short time the boys all saw how
it was with him. He studied very hard,
played with all his might in playtime.
but according to his own account he
lost more credits than any of the rest.
After some weeks the boys answered,
"Nine" and Eight oftener than
they used to; yet the school-rocm
seemed to have grown much quieter.
Sometimes, when Willie Grants mark
was even lower than usual, the teacher
would smile peculiarly, but said no
more of "disgrace. Willie never
preached at them or told tales, but
somehow it made the boys ashamed of
themselves, just the seeing that this
sturdy blue-eyed Scotch boy must tell
the truth. 1t was putting the clean
cloth by the half-soiled one, you see5
and they felt like cheats and story
tellers." They talked him over and
loved him, if they did nickname him
"Scotch GRANTEE" he was so firm about
a promise.
Well, at the end of the term Willic's
name was very low down in the credit
list. When it was read, he had hard
work not to cry, for he was very sem
sitive. and he had tried hard to be per-
feet. But the very last thing that day
was speech by the teacher, who told
of once seeing a man muffled up in a
cloak. He was passing him without a
look, when he was told the man was
Gen. -, the great hero. "The signs
of his rank were hidden, but the hero
was there just the same," said the
teacher. "And now, boys, you will
see what mean when tell you that 1
want to give little gold medal to the
most faithful boy-the one really the
most conscientiously perfect in his
department among you; who shall have
it?''
Little Scotch Granite!' shouted
forty boys at once; for the child whose
name was so 'slow'' on the credit list
had made truth noble in their eyes,

President McC Gosh has fears of q de-

pastor-three or four at preparatory
school, three or four in college, and
three in theological seminary. [ am
not an alarmist, but I do fear that if
we do not take steps forthwith, we shall
have a dearth of young ministers in
i've years, and famine in ten. The
evil is not to be met by calling forth
into active service the preachers who,
from variety of causes, have virtually
retired from pastoral work, or have
never ventured on it. We need a con-
slant supply of young men for our four
or five thousand congregations and
mission stations, that our people may
have choice Of living and competent
men,"
