The st. Louis correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette writes the follow
ing concerning a parsonage who has a
few admirers and many sympathizers
Berry Mitchell is announced to play
at the Olympic Theater in " Hamlet
and "Claudo Melnotte," and Berry
Mitchell always draws. Who Berry
Mitchell is may not be known in Gin
cinnati, though he has appeared in
Louisville. He is to st. Louis what
the Count Johannes is to New York,
and his story is very ridiculous and a
little sad.
Berry Mitchell belongs to a very
prominent family in st. Louis, and a
few years ago was left a fortune. A
rather snowy young man, he devoted
himself to society and to the stage,
and became impressed with the idea
that he was both actor and author.
He wrote the most terrific and I'M
possible drama ever conceived of, I'M
der the title OF A Home With Two
Brides, hired a theater, engaged Me-
Kee Rankin and his entire troupe.
and put the play on g%orgeously. After
the first act the gentlemen in the
house were yelling like Indians aud
ladies were leaving. The whole per-
Torrance was so preposterous that it
transformed the audience into a mob.
Subsequently Berry Mitchell appeared
as Hamlet and Claude Melnotte, 3"
and his lugubrious manner and fan
tastic acting, which he considers the
height Of art, drew crowded houses.
His friends got him off, but he has
appeared since, from time to time,
having become poor, and some specu-
lator getting hold Of him once in a
while. 1t appears almost a shame
that he should be allowed to act as a
butt, yet as he is never really ill-used,
and as he gets a little money out of
the thing, his friends allow him to
play. Next week the old scenes will
doubtless be repeated, and big houses
laugh till they weep at seeing
the drama butchered, poor Berry
being innocently guilty of the
crime. In one thing alone is the man
not to be imposed upon, Wien he
was rich he learned to play billiards,
and seems to have a natural gift for
the game, as moro than one sharper
who has tried to make something out
of him has learned. This alone is
what he saved from a sum Of meney
big enough to have kept him and a
family for a lifetime. lie wears his
hair long, has Byronic air, and is
said 10 be the hero Of more than one
real romance despite his undoubted
verdancy.

Of it, the enthusiasm spread pro-
digiously. Marpingen became a
noted place of pilgrimage, and
whenever the holy zeal seemed to
flag a little some new Indictment was
sought and found. A very profitable
business in 'Marpingen Wunderwas-
SER was established. One of the Holy
Virgins feet was discovered, and as it
would cure lameness and e%pileptic fits
by touching, 1T proved also a very
valuable acquisition. A new appa-
rition Of the Virgin was in contempla-
ton when the Prussian government
saw fit to interfere, seized the foot,
the wunderwasser, the children, the
priests, etc, and instituted legal pro-
ceedings on a charge of fraud and
swindle. The process has lasted near
ly a year, and a great number of wit
nesses have been examined. An al
most sickening amount of ignorance
and superstition has thereby been un-
covered, but it is quite satisfactory to
see that five priests have been con
yieted of having perpetrated a fraud
for the purpose of making money

The Prussian government has issti-
tuted a new method of dealing with
miracles, which, if generally adopted
and vigorously applied, will prove
rather inoonvenient to the Roman

mother, the Holy Virgin, and, in a

ROMANCE ON THE FRONTIER.
A Cavalry Private EIOpIng With a
Wealthy Merchants Daughter.


Correspondence New York world.l
Fort ABRAHAM LINCOLN, OAK,
May 8.-While the older civilization
of the East is excited over the eccen-
tric tastes of well-bred young women
who prefer for husbands car-drivers
and coachmen to the men Of more
polite position, the newer and cruder
society of the frontier has been enjoy
ing on its own account a little roman
tic sensation, the end of which has
not yet come. In the Seventh cavalry
there is an enlisted man, Charles
Mellier, whose good looks have not
only made many Of the la~undresses
hearts hutter, but have exerted an
influence. in all of the towns near
which his troop has been stationed.
Recently there came to Bismarck Mr..
Frank G. Melville, a prominent
aud wealthy merchant of st. Paul,
Mimi, and with him came his daugh-
ter, a girl Of eighteen, who is spoken
Of as quite beautiful in person and the
possessor Of many graceful accomp-
lishments. Mr.. Melville came to Bis
marck to start a -four mill, and while
he was engaged in this occupation his
daughter amused herself with the
limited society that the place affords.
Every one knows what a belle an ac-
complished girl can be when she is
visiting at or near a frontier military
post, and Miss Melville wa not an ex-
ception to the well-proven rule, for
never a day passed that several
young officers did not dismount
in front of her door. One of
these young men, it is generally
thought, was seriously sniitten, and
pressed his suit with much perse-
%veranee. Miss Melville, however, was
not ~captiyated by the glitter of a
shOulder-strap, nor did a chevron stay
her free eyes. New Years Eve a ball
was given at Carrollton Hall, at
which, in the characteristic Western
way, people Of many social grades met
and mingled on the floor. There Miss
Melville met the handsome Mellier,
who received so much encouragement
that he met her secretly a%tterward,
and the acquaintance ripened into an
engagement which the other day cul-
minated in an elopement to James.
town, where the couple were married
by the Rev. Mr.. Jackson. The an
nOuncement Of the marriage created
more commotion in the garrison than
many an Indian assault had done,
the men as a rule looking upon
the affair much as Dick Deadeye -
did upon Ralph Rackstraw's" in
discretion, while the officers took
somewhat the same view that "Sir
Joseph Porter did of the fair 10
sephine's" detection. Mellier and
his wife returned here after the cere-
mony, and the bridegroom was prop
erly sent to the guard-house for being
absent without leave, and for con-
duct prejudicial to good order and
military discipline" Mr.. Melville
