The American Girl who Married Il
Mexican General.

A DESCRIPTION of the house in which
Gen. Trevino and his bride are located,
and some other matters, may be inter-
esting to your readers. The house is
elegantly and thstefully furnished, and
has a spacious courtyard, lined with
trees, flowers, and shrubbery. All the
rooms are large and well ventilated.
Stables and carriage house are attached.
The house fronts south 12O feet, with a
depth of 2l0 feet. 1t is one story and
built on the side of hill. The servants
quarters are entirely separate from the
main building, and when the front door
is locked all is closed. 1t is so con-
structed that its inhabitants can see
what is going on in any part of it, espe-
cially in the servants quarters.
On the evening of the Sth, day of ar
rival, the band of the Second Cavalry
and the Twenty-ninth Infantry sera-
naded the General and lady. The bands
consolidated for the occasion, and num-
bered forty-two pieces. The streets
were crowded as long as the bands
played.
: On Wednesday ball was given at
the Casino of Monterey in honor of Gen.
Trevino and lady, at which the wealth
and beauty of the city were present.
The music for the ball was by string
band, and during the intervals between
the dances the Twenty-ninth Infantry
band played sweetly in the courtyard of
the Casino. Dancing commenced at 10
p. M, and continued until a. M, eX-
cepting the interval devoted to supper.
The health of the bride and groom was
drunk, and Senator Francisco Sada de-
livered poem dedicated to the bride.
Don Ignacio Galindo made a very neat
speech.
On Monday, the 10th inst, the cere-
mony of civil marriage took place in the
salon of the Generals house by Judge
Melchoa Villareal, with the necessary
number of witnesses. Last night ball
was given at FL Teatro del Progreso, in
honor of Gen. Trevino and lady, by the
Governor and the civil and military dig
nitaries of the State and republic. The
ball opened with quadrille, Mrs. Ire
vino dancing with the Governor, and the
| General with Miss Lola Marquin. The
ladies were superbly dressed. The
theater was handsomely decorated, and
the floor for dancing carpeted. About
5000 lights, red, green, and white, illu-
minated the theater and supper room.
The carpet, dark Brussels, was dot
led with gold leaf, which had been
| sprinkled over it. The private boxes
we're filled. The view from the door
was like peeping into fairYland. am
told that the attendance at this ball was
greater than at any ball that has been
given in this city for the last eight or
ten years. In the danza about one hun
dred and fifty couples occupied the
| floor.
No hats were lost or exchanged. The
supper and wines were excellent, and
plenty for all. AS a generous expendi-
ture, a bar was open during the ball,
free to all, where you could obtain any
thing you wished, from champagne down
to mescal. About a. m. the music
ceases, lights are put out, and the grand

Drumming Up Trade.

YOUNG Bummelhans has just been
discharged by his employer, old Two
percent. The facts are as follows:
Bummelhans has just returned from
trip over the State. His trip had been
very satisfactory to himself, perhaps,
but not so TO his employer. He had
spent great deal of money in buggy
rides, and one thing and another, and
had taken very few orders. When Bum
melhans called in to see the old man
the latter was as mad as the mischief. He
said: al don't pelieve you makes any
effort TO sell goots. Ven l wash drum

Bummelhans came very near replying
that it was the reputation of his princi-
pal that prevented him from selling any
thing, but he restrained himself. "HOw

ANOTHER VERSION.
Tho Simmons and Daley Ease as
RePresented by the OIher aide.

For the RRPUBLICAE.
MEssRs. EDIToRs up to this date
only one side of this affair has been
stated. Up to the time when the un.
fortunate affair between Simmons and
Daley occurred, there had been an old
grudge between these parties, growing
out of political animosity. Daley has
made himself very conspicuous and has
acted in very defiant manner on ssve.
raj occasions at the Eighth Ward polls.
At the last city election, as IL we'll
known, large number OF fraudulent
Democratic ballots we're deposited In
that Ward, several of whom were pro-
fessional repeaters.
Simmons was at the polls and chal-
leDged the votes of Gus 0'Donnell,
Brockey Tom and many other well.
known repeaters and non. residents, and
tried to prevent the votes being put
in the box. Daley made himself very
officious and insisted on these votes be-
ing taken and reached for them and
acted in q very rough manner, and the
fraudulent votes were taken. During
the day Daley's father came up to vote,
at this time his family lived near Sew
enth and Orange in the Fifth Ward, he
himself staying with his son in the
Eighth Ward, as the time his family
moved out of the Ward was less than
thirty days previous to the City cleo
tiop.
Simmons objected TO old man Daley's
vote on account OF his having moved his
family out Of the ward. Daley, the son,
(and the plaintiff in this case,) was
very noisy and threatened Simmons,
saying 81 will remember you and mark
you Tor this. | can lick you and will
DO it for this" Since that time they
have been nnfriendly, and the unfor.
tunate fight grew ont of that difficulty,
Simmons being very much intoxicated
at the time. Simmops Is very badly
beaten, and when DR.. Blockson called |
by his reques. to examine his bodily
injuries, he was denied admittance to
his cell to dress his wounds.
To the public who have only heard
one side of this case, they would have
The impression made by the statements
heretofore published, that Daley was
l peaceable lamb-like citizen. But
iuch is not the case. Some time ago,
Daley attacked Martin Farrell late
member of the City Council, and cut
lin with a knife, and jumped the town
or months to avoid arrest. SO it would
'e well for the public not to form too
iasty judgment in this case but wait
nd hear both sides of it. JUSTICE.
