COURTING ONE AND MARRY.
ING THE OTHER.
COLUMBUS, O., Feb. "a.

A prominent State official has two
very beautiful and highly accomplish
ed daughters-Miss Kate ana Mrs
Jennie-both of whom were we'll and
favorably known in society. A car
riage trimmer who lived hard by was
assiduous in his attentions to Miss
Jennie, the younger, and matters had
progressed SO far that an engagement
was entered into with the consent of
her father, and all the arrangements
were made to celebrate the nuptials
last evening. Cards were out, pre-
sents were selected and congratula,
tions had already begun to arrive
Suddenly and without explanation the
invited guests were notified that the
wedd mo had been indefinitely post
poned. The reasons therefor nave
just been made known. On Tuesday
Miss Jennie went to her room and
found lying on her dressing ease a
note addressed to her sister in the
handwriting of her affianeed. With q
woman's curiosity she opened and
read the note and was rendered al
most insane to And in it the full de-
tails ofan arrangement for her sister
Kate to meet the carriage trimmer at
the residence of a minister and have
the marriage ceremony performed that
evening. Fastening to the parlor to
confront her sister, she learned that
Miss Kate had gone out q short time
previously. Miss Jennie began imms.
diately to make preparations to go to
the minister's, but they were inter.
rupted by the arrival of the carriage
trimmer and his very new wife, who
gave no other explanation for then
conduct than that 'it had been in-
tended fir m the first" They then
repaired to the residence of tho car
riage trimmer's father, where they
still remain. Miss Jennie was pros
trated by the unexpected blow and
now lies at the peint of death from an
attack of brain fever.

SHERMAN AND FOSTER CONSTITUTE
A PUzzLING DILEMMA.

PUZZLING DILEMMA.

easy berth, and in spite of his good
humor and ig nature / believe his
brother, who is chopping wood to-
day at ST. a cord, has a happier ex-
lstence and infinitely less worry than

other stools, also, that bother Mr..
Garlield-one is labelled Sherman.
the other Foster. An intimate
friend OF Garfield said this after.
noon, "If the General had done
what he wanted in the first place =
made a personal matter Of it with
John Sherman and forced him to
retain the Treasury-all this trouble
might have been avoided" Per-
haps, but in the meantime how
about Foster? Foster is Garfield,s
guide, philosopher, and financler.-
He is On most intimate terms with
him and his family. Sherman is not
and never was. When they were
in Washington together Garfield
never called on sherman and had no
inside dealings with him. They moved
in different circles, had different res
lations, and avoided each other long
before the break came.
III the Chicago Convention Garfield
had been told that the fight between
Blaine and Grant was so bitter that
neither could win and that he was the
one man on whom a decent compromise
could be made. Foster, who marched
through the half planked streets of CHI
cago with brass baud,a straw hat and a
crowd OF shouting hackers, engineered
the whole affair AMI Put up Garfield as
the Western exponent, to be cheered on
his entrance to the convention, as Conk-.
ling from the East was cbeered. Foster
IS great man. He pushed GARFIELD a. d
Garfield pulls him. They work on the
compound engine principle, ani il must
be something denser than a snow-drift
to Impede their progress. Foster Intends
that Garfield shall have infiuence with
his own administration. lie wants the
West to have the Treasury and eyery-
thing else it can secure. He is rich and
on the road to great wealth in railroad
enterprises. A be is, all he has, is at
the service Of Garfield; SO that when il is
a choice between asking John Sherman
to be SecrstaTy of the Treasury and in
sisting on Charles Foster being Post
it is not very dificult to
hgure the result. Garfield is strong
