father, That outraged gentleman me-
the miscreant near the office desk anc
gave him a good shaking in the pres.
ence of full lobby of guests, to whom
he explained why he put his decent
hands on the abortion Of moral hu

THE World" is the rage at Nc
Vicker's celebrated Thespian resort,
1t is a drama of the most attractive
school, embodying love, separation
wanderings, hardships, loss at sea
diabolical plots, murder, insane asy-
lums, rescues, virtue, honesty, retribu-
ton, and the triumph Of right over
wrong. II is moral play whose very
startling effects aud spendid acting
cannot be depicted with pen. II il

"A row in court" enlivened the Ar
mory court yesterday. Col Cameron,
prosecuting attorney, and an attorney
named Kelly, were the chief actors.
Cameron called Kelly a liar, and the
latter said he was another" and a
drunkard to boot. Then the Colonel
led off on Kelly's right pepper. Kel-
ley counted on the Colonels bread
basket with bis right kicker. Before
much damage was done, the combat
ants were separated. Of course this
will be heralded by the radical press
as Southern outrage"
A social event Of no little moment
has just transpired in Chicago. 1t
was the marriage of Miss Minnie
Guam, the handsome daughter OF
Mr.. w. j. Guam, one of our most
extensive wholesale grocery merchants,
to Mr.. Thomas f. COpelin, of Chicago.
The affair was very select in every re
spect. The ceremony was performed
by Bishop Feehan, at the residence of
Mr.. Guam, on East Erie street.
Among the many elegant and costly
presents was a marble front residence
on Ontario street. This from the
parents of the happy bride.

will" is a brick, and the years spent
at Annapolis academy andfn the Con-
federate navy, developed talents that
he can use to advantage on
land as well as on the sea.
He belongs to the good old stock
of Carroll, of Carlton, and is a son of
that distinguished jurist Colonel d.
w. Carroll, Chancellor of Pulaski,
Ark, in whose Eighteenth Arkansaw
regiment your correspondent served
up to the battle of Corinth, in 0cto-
Der, 1862, when he (your correspond
ent) was gobbled up by the enemy.

ever, ETC., is the chuckling remark
Of all shades of politics in Chicago.
Your correspondent leaves out the
" forever clause when he expresses
his opiaiol and substitutes the asser-
ton thai Roscoe is cork that cannot
be held under water by anything less
than a good size whale. He is q pro.
gressive man and will make capital
out of his recent rebuff. He made

ture Of New York had been Republi
can, he would have been sent back to
the United States Senate. The test
was merely cut-throat game and the
result amounts to nothing There is
no denying the fact that Oonkling is
the leading light in the Republican
camp in the United States,
James g. Blaine not excepted.
In the present case it was
merely a little false move that
lost Mr.. Coukling the game. He con-
sidered those he called friends to be
as stauneh as himself. He has dis
covered his mistake, and will profit by
the old saying: "a bird in the hand is
worth two in the bush" From the
shadoy Of coming events | predict
that Roscoe Gonkling will, at no dis
tant day, be called upon to head hia
party for national honors.
