Very few persons are granted the privilege
Of celebrating the 50th anniversary OF their

proper That il should be kept ia becoming

was served to the relatives and intimate friends
OF the family. 1t Is not within my province
to give an accurate description Of the toilets,
outside Of the family of the bride aud groom,
but will simply state that il was one Of the
most brilliant assemblages that ever met in
baltimore. The ladies were exquisite in
laees, satins, silks, diamonds, pearls, etc.
Mrs. jenkins wore black satin trimmed
with point lace and handsome lace cap
adorned with purple flowers; the groom wore
black dress suit the Misses Jenkins opal
blue silk, crimson silk and eerue, garnet vol.
vet and opal blue silA and Mrs George Jen-
kins in pink cashmere trimmed with pink satin.
The parlors were beautifully dressed with
flowers, such elegant taste being displayed
as to call forth great admiration; back OF the
parlors was a conservatory filed with the
choicest exoties and eyergreens, in which D
band Of music was stationed. A large mar.
rage bell was suspended from the arch be
tween the parlors, while several smaller one,
hung from the windows; on the walls were
horse shoes of flowers, bow knots of flowers
IN fact flowers in almsst every eoneeiyabl,

Two Brothers Throw Each Other Into a
Settling OaldrOn.

One of the most siekening affairs, IL indeed
II Is not the most horrible, which il has ever
been our duty TO chronicle happened on the
premises OF Mr.. Scion Kelly, about eight
miles from Huntsville, Miss, January %.
There was hog. killing in progress, and two
colored men, Robert and Dennis Patrick, got
into q dispute about each others share in
the years crop. A long kettle filled with
water was near by. The water in the kettle
had been heated to such high degree that
they we're waiting for il to cool a little in
order to seald hogs in it. The water was so
hot that they were afraid il would "set'' the
hair of the hogs. This was the high temper.
AZURE Of the water when the brothers began
to quarrel. Dennis, who was the elder, told
robert that he would put him in the kettle II
1 he didn't shut up, and Robert, the preacher
brother told Dennls that it be put him
/ ROBBERY in that water he tDennis) would
| have to go with him. Dennis caught Robert
and pressed him backward in the direction oil
the Kettle. He pressed him, both of them
having their arms locked meanwhile, until
they both went beadlong into the kettle oil
seelhing water. Their piteous, awful screams
and means soon attracted others to the place
who finally sKiriesled than from the white
hot caldron. They retained their senses
when FIRST taken cut, and their intense agoniei
were simply beyond description. They Al
once complained Of their hot clothes, anc
when these were taken from their limbs grea
fakes Of boiled flesh went with them, leayin,
their bones exposed. Their boards fell Out
and their hair dropped from their heads
They had literally been cooked alive. Tn,
sight was such that those who witnessed L
were well-nigh paralyzed with horror. Al
possible measures Of relief were tried durini
the night, but Robert died next day and Den
mis- soon after.
