A ROMANTIC WEDDING.

A Rich San Francisco Girl Goes
Alone to Omaha to Wed Her
Poor Lover.
Captain W. ii. Ashby, of Beatrice,
well-known attoruey-at-law and
politician, a gentleman whose strong
supper: of Senator Paddock was re-
wareied with foreign appointment,
which he resigned after holding it q
few months, il at the Withheld with
Young and beautiful bride, and con-
cernipg the wedding, which occurred
at Brownell Hall on Friday after
noon, hangs quite an interesting tale.
The name of the fair bride was Miss
Zilla Shaw, and her residence was in
San Francisco, where she had a most
luxurious home, her parents, 1t is re-
ported, being quite wealthy; some
say that they rejoice il. the possession
of over two millions of dollars. 1t
is certain that they are people of
property. Captain Ashby met Miss
Shaw in San Francisco when he was
there two or three years ago, and tue
friendship then begun ripened into
the marriage of Friday. The young
lady's family were not friendly to
the match, as we are Informed, and
as soon rs she became of age she left
home and started on the journey of
two thousand miles to meet her
lover. Captain Ashby went out on
the Union Pacific and met her. He
telegraphed Friday morning from a
station on the road to Hon. w. 0.
Bartholomew, county judge of
Douglass county, to issue u license
for the marriage, and to meet
him at the train with the document,
which was done. The party pro-
ceeded from the depot to Brownell
Hall, where the marriage ceremony
was performed by Rev. Mr.. Dough-
erty. Captain and Mrs. Ashby then
went to the Withheld, where they now
are and where they will remain for a
day or two. Captain Ashby has
many friends in Nebraska who will
wish him and his bride much happi
ness in their welded life.-Omaba

Singular Effect Of a Bee Sting.

Esquire johnson, of Whiteland,
johnson county, attributes his re-
covery from the effects of the sting
of q honey bee to the administering
of large doses of stimulants. His
symptoms were peculiar and very
alarming. He was stung in the
jugular vein, and two minutes after a
cold tremor ran through his frame ;
within five minutes he was utterly
helpless, his entire body and limbs
cold and clammy, breathing labored,
sxtremities cold and his heart beat
ing slowly and family. Brandy was
frequently poured down his throat
in large quantities, and after
remaining unconscious for about
twelve hours he came out of his
stupor somewhat suddenly, began to
recover, and is now perfectly well

THE Texas papers admit that
the rush Of immigrants TO their State
is over, and say they are not sorry.
The glowing pictures drawn by rail-
road agents Of the certain wealth
that awaited every conner attracted
thousands Of shiftless people, who, of
course, bave found that it was neces-
sary to work for living in Texas, as
we'll as ia other parts OF the country.
Even the railroad companies pow see
that immigrants of this sort are
worse than useless, and there is a
general disposition to stick a little
more closely to the facts in immigra-
ton circulars and get better people
if fewer of them.

OUR CHOICE.

As the time is approaching when
men will be called upon to express
their preference for chief executive
officer Of the United States, the
TINES takes this opportunity of
placing itself on record as favoring
the denomination and reelection to
that position Of. ULYssEs 8. GRANT.
The TINES is of the opinion that,
under existing circumstances. Cen
eral Grant is the strongest man that
can be put in the field by the Repub-
!ican or any other party. For the
second place on the ticket the TIMES
would be pleased to support Newton

as that suggested would be inyincible.

CONGRE SSHONAL NEWS.

On the consideration of the fegis-
lative, executive and judicial appro-
priation bill in the Senate on the
18th inst the following occurred be-
tween our Senator Davis and the Tall
Sycamore of the Wabash:
Mr.. Davis, ofWest Virginia, chair
man of the Committee on Appropria-
tions, said that the question of in
creasing the bonded debt was not in
this bill. The question involved was
whether they should take backward
step in resumption, which he was not
willing to do. Although he did not
approve of all the Secretary of the
Treasury had done in the way of re-
sumption, he thought the Senate
ought not to interfere with the law
for the redemption of fractional cur
rency; but they might pay the ar
rears Of pensions with the twenty
three million silver dollars in the
treasury.
Mr.. Voorhees, said he was going to
vote for the application of ten millions
lying idle in the treasury to the pay
ment of arrears of pensions, The
Senator from West Virginia Davisl
informed this body that he would
take no step backward in resumption.
He VOORHEES,! would take a thou
sand steps backward if he could re-
store the interests of the people, wreck
ed by bankruptcy thrust upon the
country. The machinery of the Sec
rotary ofthe Treasury had withdrawn
the benefits Of circulation from the
business channels and placed them
in the hands Of capitalists resting on
the shoulders of labor. There was
no specie resumption, but only an
equalization of the currency. If an
act had been passed declaring that
the Government would receive its
own money for what was due it,
Greenbacks conld have been put ten
years ago where they are now. The
boast was made of $150,000,000 of
bonds being taken in one day by a
National bank or two. When so
much money was drawn from the
channels of circulation the country
became dead instead Of running
stream, carrying fructifying power
over the land. If business was pros
porous money would not be found
| seeking investment at four per cent,
in time of peace. The spirit of
avarice seeks aa opportunity to hold
more of the public debt, while the peo-
pie are hungry, owing to the with
! drawal of capital from trade, and

The Common Forms of Hate. From
the report published in the World
We extract the following from his
closing remarks: "This great ma
tiou was separated, the North from
the South, and stood in bloody an
tagonism through five years. And
now my own judgment is that when
you consider human nature; what it
is to hold property of any kind; for
a people to have that property swept
out of their hands, the rich among
them reduced to absolute poverty, g
great bulk Of men that never knew
how to work left to subsist by learn
ing how to work; when you consider
that the ascendency of the despised
slave was established by to them
foreign powers; when you consider
what the effect of legislation was

ence when | see great people, proud;
jealous, pushed out of political pow
or, out of wealth, reduced to the very
bottom with a servile class put owe r
their heads, their whole industry rev

dered If there had been great deal
more resistance than there has been
at the South. | do say that in the
whole history of the human race
there never has been such an exam
pie of people that bore such re-
verses, on the whole, with as much
patience, as much grandeur, as mach
patriotism as they have done. (Seb-
dued applause.) The spectacle of
moral grandeur in this revolution,
the substantial patience, the substan
tial good sense of those so terrifical-
ly bereaved is without parallel in
human nature, and any meanness
tending to stir up spirit of animos-
ity between the North and the South,
or the East and the West, or the Ger
man and the Irish, or the white againt
the black, that spirit is most mis-
chievous. We are all one, all united.
When there was need that the North
should be nerved to great exertion in
order to counteract the arrogant as
sertions of plantation supremacy, l
was not wanting in courage to speak.
Now when that tire is past and the
! time has come for peace and love and
union, | speak again. We are all
united together on one ship; We sail
all to a prosperous voyage together,
or we founder all together. Although
/ hated slavery, never hated the
slave owners; l loved the slave and
loved his master"

Saturday, May "a, 1879.

In taking charge of the editorial
department of the New DOMINION,
we must confess that we do SO
with difidence and misgiving. In
our long absence from the edito-
rial chair, our hand has become
stiff, our pen rusty, and our head
conservative. In fact we are an old
fogy.
The Star, which we edited and
published in this county for over
five years, set on the sd day of Jan
uary, 1862, amidst the carnage OF
civil war. Since then, although
an interested observer of public
events, we have taken but little
part in public affairs. Since then
we have seen four years of civil
war between the North and the
South, and military despotism
all over the country. The war
over, we have had many years OF
reconstruction, so-called. But re-
construction has seemed to us to be
more plan toperpetuate the party
which'rode into power on the bosom
of the civil conflict than anything
else.
When the Republicans were in
majority in Congress they held
the bloody-sifirt before the faces of
the honest, unsuspccting Demo;
Gratis, as shield, while they stab
bed the country to the heart with
premature reconstruction measures
and other legislation, favoring the
bond-holder and the money holder
Why does the majority permit
these political revolutionists, now
fighting in the last ditch, to blind
them with the bloody-shirt, while
they arc really making the prest
dental fight and preventing the
consideration Of the proper mea-
sures for the relief of the coun-
try?
We have only space this week
to add, that we shall speak our
mind and advocate the right, as
we have been given the capacity
to see the right.

THE PITTsBURGH W. VA. SOUTHERN.
After all the ups and downs of this
railroad enterprise it seems at last to
have gotten under the control of the
Pennsylvania Company, who are not
only able, but indicate determine
tion to push the road on through
West Virginia. 1t is always difficult
to determine just what railroad
company is driving at in such cases,
but the present, taken in connection
with former movement of this com
pany, furnishes some assurance that
they mean business. While the orig
inal company were projecting their
road the Pennsylvania company show
ed disposition to head them off by
extending the southwest branch OF
their road up from Uniontown through
West Virginia to Grafton. Now,
however, since they have leased the
Pittsburgh Southern, it is announced
that they have abandoned the south

The superiority of a practicable Ii
cense law as a check to intemperance
seems to have been illustrated by the
experience of Boston. In 1874, the
last year of the existence of the pro-
hibitory law, the number of places in
the city where liquor was sold was
in the neighborhood Of three thou
sand, and the number of cases of
drunkenness Of which the police had
cognizance was upwards of nineteen
thousand. During the year ending
with the first of the present month,
with the license system in vogue, the
number of saloons was but two thou
sand, and only about fourteen thou
sand, intoxicated persons were re-
ported by the police. This, seems to
give negative to the question, does
prohibition prohibit?
