MARRIAGE AT TIE COURT
HOUSE.
Hitching for Life I'm a Business
Like Way.

Yesterday the air was full Of we'd
ding rumors, and every breeze brought
a fresh me. The names Of many
prominent society bellies and dashing
young men came in for a share of the
charming gossip that delighted so
many ears. Several couple were actu-
ally married, and others, it was whis-
pered were about to walk a plank
under an arch of roses, and take a seat
together in the boat Of life, which
floats away to slow music down the
tide that leads out where there is no
such music and where the big waves
continually rise above the little ones.
1t was a good day to get married and
to talk about it, and we hope that
every bark so launched may long have
two happy occupants.
There was one marriage, however,
which deserves to be noticed because
it went most unnoticed. 1t was an
orthodox, legal matter Of fact affair
whatever romance or sentiment may
have been concealed, They we're
from the country and did not ride up
or away in a carriage. Possibly they
left their carriage at Brackets 8.
Speculation is at a loss as to how long
or where they courted, how they came
into town or whether the girl had ever
permitted the boy to kiss her before
hand. Their principal business at the
court house was to obtain the neces-
sary legal permit to marry. One Of
Mr.. Owen Dryers accommodating
clerks furnished them the document
at the usual small fee and a smile be-.
side.
The next thing was a preacher, a
judge or squire 10 fix these two fond
hearts so they could beat as one with.
cut interruption. Esquire Moffatt
happened in at the right time and fol
a small consideration united the rustic
couple. His dignifed manner, clear
complexion, deep blue big eyes
solemn earnest voice, long white hair
like Theodore T%ilton's, heavy watch
chain which he fingered, and his we'll
BACKED boots made a profound i'm
preston on the bucolic pair 1t wa:
the opinion of the deputy clerks aud
other witnesses that happened in, that
they were about as thoroughly o
married couple as the courthouse
has turned out this season.
The marriage notice would ruT
something like this: MARRIED

THE CONFIDENCE GAME.
ELnlgrants SWindled Out of Sew
eral Hundred Dollars.

Clever thieves are at work on the
railroad. A party of emigrants ar
rived here yesterday on the 1l:4O I'm.
train of the NJ. & c. railroad, almost
destitute, and another party last night
on the IL pm. train in the same
condition. They we're on their
way to Deyalls Bluff, Ark.
When near Decatur, Ala a man got
in the emigrant coach and took a seat
by one Of them, saying he was a mer
chant at Memphis and had a lot Of
goods on the train. At this moment
another man with a pencil behind his
ear stepped up and askedthe would be
merchant for his freight bill, amount
ing to $40. Pulling a thousand dol
lar government bond from his pocket
the latter presented it, but was told
he had no change and could not
cash it. Turning to the emigrant
the bogus merchant asked if he
Wouldn't lend him $40 until they got
to Memphis, to which the simpleton
agreed.
The emigrant o discovered the
6ORd was bogus, but the bird had
flown. The emigrant has gone on to
Arkansas with only a few dimes in
his wallet.
The other victim is a widow woman
with several children. She arrived on
the night train and was swindled out
Of $3.50 in precisely the same way.
superintendent Grant has sent detec-
tives out to hunt the thieves mp. The
details were learned from Police Off
Ger McPortland, who failed to get the
names Of the parties.

what will BE Che Policy.

Pittsburg Post.l
Republican aud independent papers
are already mapping out a line OF pol-
icy for the new administration. Ad.
vice is not expected from democrats.
but they are permitted the privilege
Of observing and commenting.
1t is generally declared the domestic
policy of the administration will be
pre- eminently sLalwart. and that there
will be another dose Of reconstruction
administered the south. with the
purpose Of reducing those states to
the condition Of captured provinces.
Their equality in the union will be
destroyed Their representation in
the house and the electoral collage
will be reduced, on the ground thar
the negroes are not permitted a
free vote. white men wers not per.
mittcd a free vote in Pennsylvania.
OF course, as the south has %prospcred
vastly undcr the democratic let-alone
policy and, as honest John Patter
son would say, there are several
years good stealing" in those states
the chances arc carpet bag and scala.
wag government will be set a-going n
the southern states should il be pos.
sible under the federal election laws
General Garfield is on both sides oI
all these questions, so far as his con.
g%ressional record goes. How he viii
be as president depends on the people
he gathers about him. Iffaith is kept
with the Grants onkling crowd, the
stalwarts will give law to the new ad.
ministration.
But in all these surmisings a vary
important il arises. FIR two years Of
the new administration, up until
March 4, 1883, the democrats will
have a majority Of the senate. The
house Of representatives is 80 close
that neither party claims more than
five or six majority, and it is not un.
likely independents OF g~reenbaokers
