THERE was pleasant gathering ut Kawainhao
Seminary yesterday evening pf the friends and
patrons Of that institution. The new building and
tho improvements made in the older part were
much admired. The addition Is q two-story
building of wood, 30 by 80 feet. The first story II
IA feet high, the second, II feet. On the first floor
are two large rooms, n library and music room
that can be thrown into ono for any public occa-
sion. There is also q sewing room, well lighted,
and n guest room. The hall Ia spacious and the
staircase quite ornamental. In the upper story
are sleeping rooms, one for the teacher, one for
the sick, connected with the teachers room, and
four double rooms for the larger girls. All are
provided with large closets 1t is the desire Of the
Trustees that these rooms should be furnished ut
the expense OF the Institution. and 1t is hoped
that friends who were not present yesterday will
complete the good work then begun, and tit up
every room with every convenience and necessity.
Among other gifts noticed a large bookcase,

A W WeddiDs Engagement Made in
the Hnad Ow Of . TOml stone,
n the Louisville Courier-Jourual

From the Louisville Courier-J Journal.
One of the most romantic marriages
on record took place in this city, recent
ly, by which Benjamin Ferguson, a
stone-cutter. was united to Mrs. Amelia
Wagner. Several months ago Mrs.
Wagner's husband died and his re-
mains were buried in Cave Hill Gene
terry. A plain marble shaft was raised
over his resting place, and finally Mrs.
Wagner col cluded to have an inscrip.
ton cut in it setting forth the virtues
of the deceased. Ferguson was hired
to cut the inscription. While at work
the first day Mrs. Wagner came to see
how he was getting on and by evening
the two were very friendly. When he
returned to his work the second day
Mrs. Wagner returned also, and mat
tels were renewed upon q more solid
footing than before, and by night bar
gain was made that the widow was TO
pay him for his labor by bestowing
upon him her hand, and he was to oc-
cupy the place left vacant in her heart
by the death of her husband. On the
third day after their meeting there was
quiet little wedding, and the two
were made one. The inscription on the
monument remains half completed,
just as he left it on the second day. He
will probably renew his lab0rs On the
epitaph as soon as the honey moon is
over.

A Much Married Man.

Marvin, the much married forgel
with his sixteen wives, 50 tar as the
latest returns are known, will now have
an opportunity within the precincts OF
a Richmond prison to think over his
past life and to count the cost of his
wickedness and to ask whether it pays
in the long run. Marvin is one of the
most accomplished villains of the age,
and seems to have been as successful in
getting forged checks cashed as he was
in getting numerously married, aud
now that his career is checked and he
looks out from behind the bars of a
Richmond jail, impudent]y complains
of undue haste in his trial and asks for
delay in order to secure witnesses to
show that he is some other man. If he
gets clear of the clutches of the law he
will have quite a number of alibis to
set up, that he will hardly be able to
sustain and prove them all. Sixteen
seems to be the latest count of his we'd
dings, but there is a possibility that
There may have been sixteen more that
have not come TO the surface. Any
number Of witnesses such as Marvin
would summon, might swear that they
did not see him get married on a certain
day at a certain place. but this would |
not prove that he had not been married |
nevertheless. Such We're the methods
Of this adrot scoundrel, that he could
take train at almost any point, jump
off and be married on the road and
keep his appointments elsewhere. Light
ming trains, formerly his chief reliance,
will turn against him now, for if ii
were possible to get him from one State
to another in time to have his checks
cashed and his bride kissed, it will be
safe to conclude that he managed The
whole affair and laid his own plans.
Such talents as Marvin possesses are
wasted in villainy. Had he turned his
attention to politics instead of deluge
OF matrimony, he would have made a I
whipper in, and if ne '
could have wed rival factions in poll ,
tics with the same rapidity with which J
he wed so many wives he would have |
been an invaluable political aid Just
now when political parties are ap
parently crunbling to pieces Nobody :
should be sorry if Marvin gets five
years sentence for every woman he has
betrayed into matrimony. This would
give him eighty years in which to re-
form and resolve TO be better man,
and as he is now forty five years Of age !
at the end CT his Imprisonment it is
presumable that he would lie comrlete-
ly cured of his penchant for marrying
every woman h takes a fancy to, and
that he can coax into marriage.

The Fcrcst Fires in Michigan.

Latest reports from the fire swept re-
gion, known as the Huron peninsula,
show that :he horror has no: been over
drawn in the least, and the suffering is
appalling despite the superhuman
efforts being made to furnish the suffer-
ers speedy relief. This work, however,
is being placed upon a business.like
basis, and the results are gratifying.
More dead are found every day, and
the great trouble now, next to the

from deserting their homes and farms.

An Impond ding Danger.

1t is unfortunate that just at time
when the building of houses is in active
operation and hundreds of mechanics
and working men are about securing
homes for themselves that there should
be such an unjustiiable rise in the
price of building material of nearly
every variety. Mill work, such as
frames, doors, sash and mouldines, it
is said, has advanced twenty per &c mt
brick about two dollars per thousan i,
lumber is about jumping up dollar or
two thousand, shingles have already
advanced from fifteen dollars up to
twenty dollars per thousand. There
.eems to be either a boom or a corner in
every thing except labor, the latter
being loN, and as this is the case of
course men with small wages must drop
to the rear and continue to pay high ex-
acting rents. We can conceive Of no
other reason for a rise in building ma
tarial except that the demand is great.
While merchants and manufacturers
are rejoicing in high prices, they should
remember that they are blocking up the
Wheels Of Improvement and chilling the
centres of trade. While building ma
terial, of course, will have to be fur
nished to finish out the building pro-
jects now under way, hundreds of peo'
pie in common circumstances, and who
intended to either build or purchase
new houses will refrain from doiGg so,
and consequently there must be di-
demand for houses. TIE pre-
sent rise in building material will at
least stop the building Of one hundred |
houses that were under contemplation.
It is said thai our hrickyards could not
supply the demand. This we think is
rue, but We doubt if any benefit will
rise from raising the price of bricks to
point that must check and chill build
ne enterprises. AS there is so much
capital lying around we
re rather surprised that men who are
Il tle lookout for profitable invest
lents do not open up and start more
rick manufactures that the demand
lay be met at fair ard reasonable
largin Of profit. There is plenty OF un-
mployed labor yet that could be ntili-
ed i'll the manufacture OF brick, and
nskilled laborers could also he occupi-
d. At any rate it will be great mis-
'rtune to our city if the Rnjustitiable
Sc in building material should check
le building operations which are de 8
.loping the resources of the city and :
lusing it to bound forward like a
oung giant on the road to wealth, pop
ati0n and prosperity.

A Change Needed

The Dem OCrats have ,often been in
power before in Wilmington but never
0eloTe dld they make such poor rec nd
for themselves As they have this time.
To say nothing Of the gross immoraiity
of many of the officials, who if they
were not officials would be arrested
and fined like other intoxicated people,
peculation and malteasance in office
are freely charged against some of the
officials by members of their own party,
and although an investigation is called
for by the accused and granted by the
City Council, it falls through and a
farce Is made of the whole affair simply
because the person making the charge
wanted to be sworn to what he said
and wanted to have an open public
investigation, and which the other size
would not agree to. Drunkenness has
become so common amongst the officials
that it excitcs but little comment and
is passed by with disgust by sober cti-
zens. If ever there was a time when
change was needed in the govern
ment Of the city, that time is now.
Sunday junketting and fishing parties
by city officials and drunken carousals
are enough to nau jeate II moral public
and if we are not very much mistaken
the party guilty Of such immoraities
and breaches of good behavior-tle
party that shows such an utter disre-
gard for decs,cy and the Sabbath day
will be weighed in the balances and
found wanting. No other verdict of
