THE LATE COLONEL MOVES.


This gentleman was well-known to
every Susquehanna raitsman in our
county, Recently, some disparaging
statements in relation to his conduct as
State Treasurer have appeared in the
Philadelphia Record. Hence, the Ad.
ministrator has addressed the editor
of that journal in this way:

A CambOdian Marriage Festival.

They were ushered, amid a tremendous
din of gongs, into large sala beyond the
reception hall, where were seated the Gov
ernor and about hundred noblemen and
invited guests; the bridegroom, young
man about twenty years of age, elegantly
attired in silk jacket and panoung, was also
there. By the time the .5arangs were seated,
procession-headed by the bride, supported
on either hand by demure-looking matrons
composed principally of aged OF married
women, all elegantly attired, entered and
slowly marched toward the Governor. The
bride was not particularly interesting as
regards personal charms she was young,
however, and dressed richly and in good
taste. Besides her silk panoung, she wore
gold-embroidered scarf upon her shoulders,
also gold rings upon her fingers, bracelets
upon her wrists, and armlets above the
elbows. The bride took up her position
near the bridegroom, both sitting upon the
floor, but not looking toward each other ::
in fact, throughout the entire ceremony
they both were perfectly impassive and
nonchalant. The marriage ceremony proper
now began. A number of wax candles were
brought in salver, and then lighted by one
of the mobiles. The silver waiter was then
passed round before the company eight
times, each one in turn saluting the couple,
and wishing them much good fortune by
waving or blowing the smoke toward them,
thus expressing something like the old
English custom of throwing the slipper
after newly-married couple-the band of
reed and string instruments playing the
meanwhile. Two large, velvet cushions
having been previously placed before the
bride and bridegroom, and upon them a
large sword, the leader of the lacon Cheat
ricals) now came forward and went through,
for few moments, the most fantastical
sword exercise. Dishes had been placed
before the unsusceptible couple upon the
floor, with covers upon them, which latter
the lacon man removed during his fourishes,
disclosing to view some cooked fowls or
ducks; nothing was eaten, however. Next
the hands of the ezpectant couple were
bound together, and to each other with
silken threads by the women attendants.

Journalism in England.

When, some years ago, the press was
called the fourth estate, that title seemed toe
large and presumptuous, but nobody can
think it inappropriate now. The power of
the press is enormous, and it goes on increas-
ing year by year, while the force of no other
form of persuasion or authority Except the
law is fully maintained, perhaps. There
fore, unless it continue to be controlled by a
patriotic, judicial and lofty spirit-if it be-
comes the instrument of club arrangement
and parlor nspiracies-inasmuch as it be-
comes the tool of secretaries Of demagogues,
Of the .5ou turieur, of serville capitalists
with drawing-rooms to conquer, OR even Of
the raging sincere pedants who are now be-
ginning to infest it, the press viii be not
only an enormous power, but an enormous
peril. We confess that, for several years
past we have been oppressed with an appre-
hension that the time was nigh when this
danger would appear Enthusiastically; but the
events Of the last fortnight have shown that
its time is not yet. After gay and glorious
period Of service journalistic funkydorum
meets its reward. 1t retires, from the dicky
-epaulets, stick, buttons and all-with the
painful consciousness that ribald public
has been laughing at the straw in the mag
efficiently padded calves for long time.
The people generally, we find, are as ready
to detect insincerity and bombast, as ready
IL r.
for-to-carry gentlemen of the press, with all
mis- inspirations and emotions, as may well
be desired.

A Mormon Wedding.

The latest marriage ceremony, partaking
IF wholesale character, at Brigham
Young's Endowment House" in Salt Lake
City, is thus described by the Tribune, of
that city, of the 18th inst: "The BRIDE
groom came from the rural 'deestricks,' a
youthful saint, filled to overaowing with the
nurture and admonition of the Prophet
Brigham. His prophetic soul informed him
that it was not good to be alone, that the
dilapidated kingdom sadly needed building
up, that legions Of fugitive splits were hoy
ering about his steps, seeking, with tears in
their eyes, earthly tabernacles in which to
repose. So he did the best he could do
under the circumstances. He selected three
tender fair ones, and won them three for his
brides. Last Monday the quartet got mar
ried. The thrice happy groom conducted
his bevy of brides to the Endowment
House, and the party got sealed on the
wholesale plan Brother Wells was present
at the interesting ceremony, and the cookies
of his heart warmed toward the well-doing
saint. The President tapped the Benedict

The Feast of st. Plus V.

A Roman correspondent describes the
feast day of St. Plus w., saying: ''As he is
the patron Of the present Pope, the 5th of
May has always been Mesa fiesta with the
Romans. In the afternoon, just before YES
pers, drove to St. Maria Maggiore to visit
the tomb of this canonized pontiff, and to
zee the decorations of the beautiful Sistine
Chapel of that basilica in which is his costly
and splendid monument. This tomb covers
the whole side of the chapel, and indeed
forms part of its architecture. 1t is mass
of sculpture-friezes and frontOns: columns
of verd antique, great bas-reliefs or marble
and bronze pictures. At the same time this
monument was erected, the Jennings, Nico-
las d'Arras and Egdius, and the Italians,
Olivieri Sanese, Triboli, and Sarzana. treated
sculpture as an imitator Of painting, or a
mere trade of skilfully cut images. In the
bas-reliefs you see four shooting figures
standing out detached and perspective in
the background. found the church quite
full large part of the crowd was formed
of the band of French pilgrims, who are
now visiting the Eternal City and paying
their pious respects to his Holiness. They
are known by their badge, which is small,
white wooden cross, bound with red, fastened
to the left breast or shoulder. There was
superb display of flowers in the chapel
great banks of camelias, roses, etc.; also
magnificent candelabras, with hundreds of
lighted wax candles. The bronze front of
the beautiful verd antique funeral urn of the
monument was removed, and there lay ex-
posed to sight the embalmed body of the old
Pope, looking as grim as is becoming his
reputation for severity and asceticsm."

A Blunder.

Another fatal blunder by drug clerk is
reported. a man who had discussion
about family matters with his wife, and
anne out second best, threatened to commit
suicide, and went out to drug store and
asked for twenty-five cents worth of strych-
nine. The ignorant drug-clerk, instead of
putting up poison, gave him some harmless
1rug in mistake, blunderingly labelled it
''strychnine." The man took it home,
gulped it down in the presence of his wife,
and then threw himself on the.lounge to die.
His wife, instead Of running for physician
and stomach-pump, waited until she
thought he was dead, and then commenced
to rifle his pockets for his loose change. He
was On his feet in an instant, and instead of
dying he made it very lively for his better
half for about ten minutes; and then he
threatened to get a shotgun and shoot the
drug-clerk; and his wife said if he didn't
she would. And now discord and such
things dwell in that house, all ON account of
laundering drug clerk.

Rival Journalists.

They have in certain town in Northern
Pennsylvania two rival newspapers, which
are published upon the same day of the
week. The editors make desperate attempts
to get ahead of each other in procuring
items, and the consequences are often anus
ing: Last week they were serious.
The editor of the Mouth Organ devised a
scheme which he calculated would Law the
Meat-Ar out cold. He employed man to
make an attempt to assassinate him just as
his paper was going to press. He bought
this man six.barreled revolver, and in
structed him to rush into the Office of the
Mouth Organ at a certain hour, and begin
bang away at the editor, taking good care
not to hit him.
The editor intended to. permit the villain
to escape, and then he proposed to sit down
and run out sensational local, with half a
column of headlines, about 'Dastardly
Attempt at Assassination "A Blow at a
Free Press etc., etc.
The man with the revolver seemed really
enthusiastic about it. When the appointed
hour arrived the editor took position near
the door. In dashed the villain of the

A WidOWer's Wit.

The peculiar fortune that was supposed
by the classic sages to turn the folly of fools
into good luck, had an illustration recently
in the case of a German widower living at a
place called Hyde Park, in Pennsylvania.
The wife of this fatuous mortal died not
long ago, leaving him with large family of
young children to cherish; and, as his elder
Iy mother, sisters, and sisters-in-law tired of
the heavy domestic responsibility, one after
another, it occurred to him that second wife
and step-mother might best answer the
urgent needs of heart and home.
10 reach this conclusion and to make it
practicable were two different things. The
avertaxed and bereaved parent did not hap
pen to be acquainted with any lady of OBJ
Tious eligibility for the honor he proposed
,onferring, nor did he like to make known
his dilemma to kindred and friends. What,
shen, does he do but resort to questionable
kind of New York newspaper, which admits
matrimonial advertisements to its columns
and quietly search THE same, for some femi-
nine application to his fancy! Finding one
Of these snares for the silly and wicked,
whereof the signature suited his taste, he
made a pretext of business to his mother and
children for coming to the great city, and ac-
tually started out to find the address given
by the advertising husband-seeker.
And now for the illustration of the cyni-

Reaching the very street of the address, the
misguided wtlower became confused about
the numbers, and entered the store of
small tradesman, who happened to be fell
Iow-countryman, to make inquiries. The
radesman knew the occupants of the desired
number to be such questionable people that
he was prompted to warn his rural compa-
triot against them, and upon being frankly
informed further of the inquirer's matrimo-
NAL mission intimated that he could intro
duce the deluded innocent to woman wor-
thy to be made an honest mans wife. In
short, he had in his home at that moment
penniless orphan-niece only lately come to
this country to earn living, and lost no
time in presenting her to his Pennsylvania
friend as the very woman to place over his
motherless household, She was hearty,

stinctively warm for any w-countryman
meeting her in this great strange country,
and it took but few hours conversation to

lowing day, reports the Scranton Republican,

deacon. The minister was giving out q

the hymn for the singers. No sooner had
he risen than Jack, plucking. the deacon
