Bought OF at the Altar.

On last Wednesday morning at nine
O'Clock a nephew Of one Of our most promi
nent real estate agents was married at st.
Pauius Roman Catholic Church, where a
huge assembly had gathered to witness the
ceremony. Previous to the marriage the
young man had been engaged to n respecta-
ble, well behaving young girl, the niece OF
a well-to-do brewer of this city. This
young lady, hearing Of the contemplated
union of another with the one who had
pledged her faith, called upon Father Fer
neding with the engagement ring and other
evidences of the courtship, under the i'm
preston that the Roman Catholic Church
did not allow parties matrimOnially inclined
to break their contract unless by consent of
both. But as everything had been prepared
for the occasion, the Rev. Ferneding
refused to interfere. The marriage was a
double one, the young mans sister and her
groom being the other contracting parties,
and when the procession entered the church
edifce, the mistreatcd Young lady arose
one hand and the letters Of the Young man
the proofs OF his unfaiihfulness-in the
other, she marched, amid the excitement of
the lookers-on, at the head of the bridal
parties toward the altar. The father OF the
groom, seeing the dsagreeable position i'm
which his son was placed, stepped up to the
young lady, and, whispering n few words,
then and there ESQ seemingly well founded
rumOr has it) bought her claim on the young
mans future for a handsome sum Of money

The Attempted Assassination OF the
President.

A few months ago the civilized Ma
tions of the world were thrown into ex-
element by the news of the assassina-
ton of the Car of Russia. The event
was broadly discussed in its bearings on
rigorous or oppressive forms of Govern
ment, and the United States was one of
the few great countries which seemed
to be able to look on the tragedy in any
o.her light than that of n warning. The
attempt on the life of President Gar
field produces shock which can not be
fairly measured by words or compari-
sons. The last notable killing of a
great ruler, prior to the bloody work of
yesterday, was the end of a life which
had been tortured, for the greater part
of it, by the imminence of violent death.
The Gar had been frequently in peril,
and in his later years was so encom-
passed by murderous organizations that
he was substantially prisoner in his
palace, only venturing forth under
strong guards. He belonged to a
family of Emperors, ruling over peo-
pie who had been sorely oppressed, and
tell a victim to the revengelul spirit
which his predecessors barely escaped.
His sudden taking off was not a sur
prise to thinking people who had
studied the Government of which he

AT the exhibition now being held
in Japan an interesting feature is :he
successful use in the machinery hall
of paper betting. The Japanese have
long been celebrated for their manu-.
facture of some. exceedingly tough de-
scriptions of paper, and it is stated that
the paper betting to which we have just
referred has been tested and found
much stronger than ordinary leather.
Now that machinery is rapidly making
its way into Japan, the manufacture of
this paper betting is of special interest
to the country. as from the want OF
proper tanning good leather is not made
by the Japanese. '--7'--

was James X. Polk. Next to him was
Abraham Lincoln, who was assassinated.

from natural causes, seventy three and

at least will not follow, and the plainest
indications poi91 to the early death of q
party which way born in 1856.
The Immediate result may be the ac-
cession to thej Presidency of a party
politician, wh0is incapable of. taking
the primary steps in statesmanship-a
type of all that is vicious in the plumber
system of politics. The assassination
OF the President is calamitous in itself.
The calamity will be magnified by the
advance of New York managing poll
tician to the Executive Chair.
The country will lay aside the i'm
portant political considerations growing
out of the distressing tragedy long
enough to extend deep sympathy to the
wife of the dead President gentle
lady who, notwithstanding her mod
est retiracv, was so well known to
be helpmeet indeed to her hus-
band that she commanded the whole
respect of the people. There was the
very simplicity of eloquence in the
message which the stricken President
directed to be sent to his wife. ''Give
her my love-" he said. BY her love, by
her participation in the intellectual
pursuits in which he delighted, by the
helping hand which was never with
drawn for an instant, by the encouraging
voice which never wavered, has James
A. Garfield been helped on to dignities
and honors which few men of his years
attain.
And who can measure the sorrow of
the venerable mother, who, at her
home in Mentor, will hear the dreadful
tidings! There is tender, though
sorrowful, touch of sentiment in the
survival of woman who nurtured
boy through poverty, fortified him with
precept, watched him through career
of war and craftsmanship. and present
ed the greatest country on the globe
with n President. - Cincinnati En-
