At the marriage of Miss Helen Houlds-
worth, eldest daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Houldsworth, of Coltness, with Sir Robert
Lighton, Bart, of Brockhampton, Hereford
shire, st. Mary Abbot's, Kensingtons, was
most profusely and beautifully decorated with
white flowers, all of which were sent up from
Coltness. The brides dress was of white
duchess satin, trimmed with old lace. Her
veil was of tulle, fastened on with diamond
stars. TIL orange blossoms which formed
her wreath were very tastetully arranged
among the diamonds. The eight brides
maids wore pink silk broche dresses, the
skirts being trimmed with soft muslin and
lace of creamy tint, and their hats were of a
cream lace with pink a~zaleas. They carried
beautiful bouquets Of White and pink flowers,
and as has been frequently the case lately real
flowers were given to the guests instead of
the artificial acorns and orange blossoms of
which the wedding favors have so long con-
sisted. On the occasion of this pretty, flower
decked wedding the flowers were all white
lilies Of the valley. %gardenias and camelias.
At the marriage of Miss Hughan to Major
Houghton, late OF the Ninety-sixth Regiment,
at ST. Paul's, Knightsbridge, the bride, whose
mother was a daughter of the late Duke of
st. Adams and whose elder sisters are Lady
John Manners and Lady Bridges Henniker,
wore a dress of cream-colored satin, richly
trimmed with Brussels lace. The six brides
maids we've all children, and very prettily
dressed in Pompadenr style, with mob-caps
and muslin fichus. The skirts OF the dresses
were sky-blne and the paniers Powered,
cream-colored sateen. They each carried a
basket of spring flowers.

Two Children Commit Suicide Together

Our Hungarian contemporaries report a
peculiar painful case of double suicide com
mitted by two shepherd boys, respectively
aged ten and twelve, near Harrisburg. These
lads were in charge of d flock of sheep turned
out to Craze on some grass land abutting upon
the karlsburg-Arad Railway, and had been
several times reproved by the Waterman sta
toned near their pasturage ground for allow
ing the sheep TO stray on the line. On the 9th
INST, just as the Arad express came in sight,
several sheep had wandered Town the en-
bankinent and were i'll imminent danger of
being crushed by the train, from which, how
ever, they were rescued by the timly inter-
yention of the Waterman in question, who as
the train had passed called up the boys and
told them tina he would lave them severely
panished for neglecting their duty and his
repeated warnings. The terrified lads held
consultation together as to how they might
escape the threatened penalty, and speedily
anne to the conclusion that the best way of
getting out oftheir scrape would be to drown
themselves. One of them had just had a new
hat, adorned with a gay peacock's feather,
given to him, which he. sold for thirteen
kreuzers to a little peasant gill, who had been
at play with the boys when the dreadful
menace Of punishment was impaired to them.
With the price Of this hat he purchased some
small lovaes, and the three children sat down
by the Maros to hold their "Pamona,' or
death-feast, and this being terminated, the
boys climbed the parapet of the Maros Bridge;
their tiny playmate counted aloud, "One,
two, three" and at the word ''three" they
spraug, hand-in-hand, into the river, sinking
Immediately under the broken ice with which
the surface of the rapid stream was partially
covered.

THE NEW ROUTE EAST.
Quick Time. Low Rates and a Pleasant
Trip.

Hundreds of Montanians who have not
been to the sStates'' for years, are looking
forward with pleasure to IA trip sometime
during the present spring. The cause of this
general leave-taking is due largely to our
long season of prosperity, but vastly more to
the fact that we nov have, practically, a
through rail route from Montana to the cities
of both the Atlantic and Pa life slopes. The
Utah and Northern Railway is at last so near
that the former dreaded stage ride has
dwindled to one that in comparison is a mere
pastime. Passengers can leave Butte, Helena,
Deer Lodge OF Virginia City on Monday
morning, take breakfast at Ogden about
Wednesday, and dine at Chicago, st. Louis or
San Francisco Saturday and by the first of
June, they can shorten this time about one
day.
The rails are now so near Red Rock that
we may fairly consider that the point at
which the bulk of the east bound travel will
change from the Concord coach to the
luxurious Harton reclining char cars of the
Utah and Northern, Red Rock is only 100
miles south of Helena, 1875 miles south of
Deer Lodge, l2O miles south of Butte, los
miles from Virginia City, and 50 miles from
Salisbury. Taking the average of these dis
tances as a basis we find that the railroad at
Red Rock has a large advantage over the river
at Benton. Stages and trains run daily and
connections are close and sure through to all
points in the United States. The delays and
uncertainties of navigation are unknown on
the southern route. Considering the luxury,
safety aud speed assured the rates to Omaha
from our prominent cities (S100 1st class,
SIS I'd class and $45 emigrants) are
really very reasonable. Through tickets are
also on sale at the different offices of Gilmer,
Salisbury & Co. to all important cities of the
union at proportionately low rates. Emigrants
and second class passengers have first class
accommodations on stages, a marked i'm
proyement over last years custom of putting
them through Oh mailwagons. Indeed there
is much pleasure in store for the average
Montanian who is about to make his long
anticipated trip east by rail, and to our
readers in the east who contemplate a journey
to Montana We can commend the above show
ing Just as heartily.

THAT GLITTERS.

What Chicago Correspondent says to
the Sewing Machine Journal a trade
paper published in New York City:
/ had heard rumor that the newly in
troduce Eldridge sewing machine was not
free from claim for INFRINGEMENT;
and, therefore, few days since, happen
ing to meet Mr.. James Bolton, agent of
the Singer Co., I enquired if he knew
anything on this subject. His reply was,
eyes; [ think know all about the Ed
ridge machine. During the year 1874
I made model sewing machine in Chi
cago; and, in December of that year for
warded it to the Singer Go. in New York.
MY machine was constructed in an ex-
perimental shop, belonging to the Singer
Go. in Chicago. Louis Ochring was en-
ployed at that time in the repair shop of
the Singer Co. Both Ochring and Sig
walt, in whose shop the model of Eldredge
machine was built, knew of the machine
made by me, though neither of them &C
tually worked on it. The Eldredge ma
chine in it's principal and essential parts
is mere copy of mine, and must have
been made from information obtained in
the Singer Co.'s shop, by Ochring and
Sigwolt, in 1874. | designed and offered
nv machine to the Singer Co. to be ma
nufactured AND SOLD AS A CHEAP
MACHINE, which supposed the mar
ket then required. The devise actuating
the feed motion in that machine [ invent
ed myself, and supposed | might get
patent on it, though had never examin-
ed the record to see if anyone had antlci-
pated my invention. | have not done so
yet. The other principal mechanical ar
engagements combined in my machine
were contained in a model made by John
T. Jones, and were patented by him on
the 26th of January, 1869. The Singer
Co., after consideration, declined to ma
nufacture my machine, on the ground
that cheap machine was not then re-
quired, and the model was laid away on
a shelf at the company's factory at Eliza
bethport, where believe it now is. The
pattern of the arm of the machine seems
to be copied somewhat from the Domestic
machine" "Do you know / asked,
whether the Eldredge company have OBJ
tanned the right to use the devices of
Jones' PATENT" ''No: | do not know as
to that. The invention was made by
Mr.. Jones when he was employed by the
Singer Co., and the patent belongs to
that company. / do not know, but
suppose that the Singer Co., will enforce
the patent against the Eldredge Com
pany The infringement of this patent
by the Eldredge machine is certain, and
will be perceived by every mechanic"

For years David Allingsworth suffered
with Rheumatism, and notwithstanding
the best medical attendance, could not
find relief. He came to the Sciota county
Poorhouse, and had to be carried into
and out of bed, on account Of his helpless
condition. After the failure OF all the
remedies which had been applied, the
Directors of the Poorhouse resolved to
use the celebrated German Remedy, Saint
Jacobs Oil, and this was a fortunate reso-
luton; for, with the trial of one bottle,
the patient was already much better,
and when four bottles had been used upon
him, he could again walk about without
the use of cane.
The facts as above stated, will be veri-
fed by the Editor of The Portsmouth,

summoned, and he together with Mrs.
