BRILLIANT MARRIAGE.
A West Tennessee Belle welded
TO a Prominent Young Rail-
road Man.

A very brilliant nuptial event &C.
CURED last night at the little city Of
Milan. Mr.. w. H. Clark was mar
ried to Miss Katie H. Miller. The
interesting and beautiful ceremony
was performed by Rev. DR.. Shoupe, Of
the Episcopal church of jackson, and
was witnessed by a number of guests
from Baltimore, Chicago, New Or
leans, jackson, Nashville and other
cities, as well as by the representa-
tive people of Milan. The fortu-
nate young groom is a son Of
Colonel j. G. Clark, Vice
President Of the Illinois Central
railroad, and General Manager Of the
Chicago, st. Louis & New Orleans
railroad, and is described as one
worthy and calculated to win a true
woman's heart. The bride is a rare
little beauty, and as good and sensible
as she is pretty. She is the only
daughter of Captain H. P. Miller,
proprietor Of the Southern Pacific
Hotel at Milan, who spared no pains
to give her the highest educational
accomplishments to be bad in this
country. She came home from school
an acknowledged belle, and reigned
queen of many hearts, both old and
young. The occasion of her
marriage was one of great
interest, not only at home, but
wherever the parties were known.
Bridal presents, numerous, rich and
tasteful, came from many distant
States and cities, as well as congrstu-
lations from all directions. An ele-
CANT banquet was given and all went
merry as a wedding bell" until q
special train bore the happy couple
away on a visit to relatives in Mary
land. Thence the bridal tour will be
extended through the leading places
Of interest in the North and West and
Canada.

AAOAAa
This event will be duly celebra ted
by our Italian fellow-citizens and
their friends, on the 18th inst. This
society is benevolent in its objects. 1t
takes care of the unfortunate, who
might otherwise fall upon the hands
of the city and county. In this view
the Italian society deserves the hearty
support of all classes. But there
is another view to be considered: The
discovery of America was one of the
greatest events ever recorded in the
history Of the world, and one that
might with propriety be celebrated by
every citizen on the continent. The
day belongs to all and should be more
generally observed.

FoR some time past the Bank Of
England has held its interest rate at
4 per cent, the highest figure for three
years past, but tomorrow, at the reg
ular meeting Of the directors, there is
every prospect that it will be advanced
to 5 per cent. The money markets
abroad have gradually grown more
and more stringent, and the screws
are tightening, with a view of trying
to stop the flow Of gold to this coun-
try. While the railway building
boom progresses, and breadstufs, cot
ton and provisions go abroad, how
ever, it is not likely that the gold
movement can be stopped.
