A recent letter from Geneva Lake,
Wis, to the Chicago Tribune, is as fol-
lows:
No small degree of excitement was
created here yesterday by the announce
ment that Mr.. Charles S. French, well
known attorney, associated with the
Hon. j. A. Smith, and aged about %,
had been united in marriage to Miss Ida
Newberry, daughter of Capt. Oscar New
berry and granddaughter of Lucius New
berry, of the Newberry line of steamers,
scions of the well-knOwn Newberry fam
lily of Chicago The marriage had oc-
Cured during the winter, and for the
past nine months the youthful husband
and wife were not living together, and
had not acknowledge their relation to
the world, nor to their family friends.
1t seems that the secret first leaked out
on Sunday through the medium of fair
cousin, and when Miss Ida was queS-
toned she admitted the fact
of the wedding, and departed
from her home TO live with her husband
at the residence of his mother, about
three miles from the village, where she
is now domiciled. All the parties to the
transaction are very reticent concerning
the details of the wedding, but frankly
acknowledge that the ceremony took
place. 1t is learned that Mr..
French had been an accepted
sutton of the young lady for several
years, but during last fall ceased his
calls at her house, in Difference to the
feelings of her family, who opposed the
match. At that time it was supposed
that any matrimonial engagement which
may have been made had subsequently
been broken off, as the parties only met
occasionally in society. The lovers,
however, were fondly devoted to each
other, and the parental objections only
served to feed the flame of affection, and
it was finally kindled to such a degree
that Mr.. French and Miss Newberry
quietly concluded arrangements, and
were united in marriage on the 9TH of
january last by the Rev III. Holbrook,
OF the Presbyterian Church, the only
witnesses being Mrs. Holbrook and Mr..
Ed Back. The contracting parties then
separated, and have since lived apart,
the secret being securely kept. The
fair bride, however, woman-like, could
not withstand the mental strain of such
weighty matter unaided, and day or
two since confided the secret to her in
innate friend, Miss Rockwell. The
sequel is known. The family relatives
OF the newly discovered bride of nine
months are naturally startled at the
sudden disclosures, and the grand
father, who has been quite unwell for
several days. is confined to his bed, and
grieves considerably over the affair.
The bride is petite blond, with ex-
ceedingly sweet features and attractive
person, and is a member of the Episco
pal Church. The husband, who thus
boldly has laughed at the locksmith.is a
rising young attorney of general popu-
larity at the Bar and in society.

The Sprague- COnkling scandal has been
reopened by statement from Gov. Sprague
regarding the unfortunate affair at Canon
chet. 1t is briefly as follows: Senator
Conkling sent an emissary TO Canonchet the
day after the shotgun affair, who was
to arrange with the Governor so
that the truth would be kept out
of the newspapers. Governor Sprague
sent back a simple message that he did not
intend that the scandal of Washington
should be repeated in his own household.
Mr.. Conkling then went to work, as alleged,
with a view to set Mr.. Chaffee, trustee Of the
Sprague estate, against Gov. Sprague, with
the anticipation of having him removed from
his house, arrested and confined as mad
man.

Among the most pronounced oppo-
nsnts Of the anti. Chinese bill at the
East, is the New York Tribune, which
dies daily ut the head Of its editorial
page the proud assertion. Founded by
Horace Greeley" The Tribune relies
upon that distinction and all that the rs.
ISOLATION Of Greeley's name implies, for
much Of its pecuniary prosperity and all
OF its political influence. II lives Oh

upon the memory OF Greeley's name.
But what would the old man say II he

and prophetic vision, had foretold the
possible consequence OF its continuance.
