A Brides Fright.

Wednesday night, a little after IL
O'Clock, the guests occupying rooms
on the east corridor of the sPalmer
House were startled by the most pier
cling screams of womaneappareptlv in
great distress or peril. One of the
guests. describing the event, remarked
that thesvoics shot down the light.well,
on which the room opened, and with
sudden and startling effect, appeared to
be from person i'll one of the rooms

loud as she could articulate.
1t appears the occupants OF the room
were bride and groom from Peoria.
They had just re5urned..trom McVicker's,
where they had witnessed the Bowers
Thomson combination in the presenta.
tion Of the Court of ChaaIes IL and
the tribulations of Richmond had af-
fected the bride generally. After res
turning to their parlor in the hotel, the
groom had gone down to the Office to
purchase tickets for st. Louis, leaving
her to pack up. in anticipation of an early
start the follawing morning. The first
thing she took hold of to pack was a
cabinet picture of her sister Carrie
that stood on the bureau, and the re.
action from the excitement of the wed
ding ceremonies and the effect of the
scenes at the theater combined, appear
to have been too much for the young
wife, and her nerves gave completely
away, her hallucination taking the
form of conviction that the aforesaid
sister was dead.
There appears to have been no ladies'.
about, owing to the latenass of the
hour, but some twenty gentlemen re-
sporded to the calls of distress, and,
with cologneebottles of strange shape,
the upper half covered with leather
and tin or nicKle cup covering the
bottom of the flask, or, we should say,
the cologne>bottle, gave soothing assur-
ances, and the bride was partially paci,
fed. When the groom returned she
was sitting in an easy chair. and guest
with only his undershirt and pants on,
with suspenders hanging, was sitting
on the arm of the chair, with one arm
around the bride, and with the other
quietly bathing her forehead, while the
other nineteen we're standing sympa>
thetically about. The expression on
the face of the groom as the vision
broke upon him can better be imagined
than described. but he was made to ap
preciate the situation without any seri.
Gus demonstrations. AID he fiually
thanked his shirtless benefactor with
all the enthusiasm that could be ex,
pected from bridegroom of only
twenty-four honrs. and relieved him of
his arduous position with great alscrity.

philanthropist who held the young
bride so gently until the arrival of the
husband. in consideration of the feel
ings Of wife OF some standing who is

others regarded him as a powerful
prophet. He raises the dead to life,
and heals the sick of every description

of lofty stature, and we'll proportioned;
his countenance severe and virtuous, 50

both OF fear and love. The hair OF his
head is the color of wine, and from the

from the ears to the shoulders in shin-

flows down the back. divided into two
portions, after the. manner of the
Nazarenes; his forehead is clear and
without wrinkles. his face free from
blemish. and slightly tinged with red,
his physiognomy noble and gracious.
The nose and mouth faultless. His.
beard is abundsnt, the same color as
the hair, and forked. His eyes blue
and very brilliant. In reproving or
censuring he is awe-inspiring, in ex-
horting and teaching his speech is gem

marvellous i'll seriousness and grace.
He has never once been seen to laugh,
but many have seen him weep. He is
slender in person, his hands are straight
and long, his arms beautiful. Grave
and solemn in his discourse, his Ian
guage is simple and quiet. He is in
appearance the most beautiful of the
children of men.

and abashed. In framing the Constitn-
tion of the United States the labor was
almost wholly performed in committee

during the conventions; but his words

acknowledged the master spirit, and
historians affirm that, had it not been
for his personal popularity and the
sincerity with which he spoke, the
Constitution would have been rejected
by the people.
Thomas Jefferson never made a

rather than words. When asked how
