TALE OF TWO CITIES
And Four Fond Hearts That Now
Beat as One.

Esquire Spelman performed the
marriage ceremony yesterday afternoon
between Theodore Reinig and Bertha
Myers The affair was a little more
than commonplace. During a recent
residence in St. Louis Mr.. Reinig
won the affections Of Miss Bertha and
a blissful courtship of several months
followed. A quarrel finally caused
him TO return to Memphis, whittier he
was followed a couple Of weeks since
by the fair deserter, who insisted upon
being made Mrs. Reinig. He
was obstinate, however, and refused Ia
comply with her demand. A warrant
had the desired effect and the matter
was compromised. A delightful sup
per cooked with the brides own hands
after a good old German custom was
spread last night for a number of
favored friends. The groom is reported
as submitting gracefully to the inevi-
table and the couple are happy.
ANOTHER CEREMONY
ola different color was performed by
the same Magistrate this forenoon.
Moses Gwynn was informed that unless
he choose to indict his name upon
Mary Williams, he must so to Jail.
He said he'd say Mary every time and
they we're forthwith made one. lie is

A C~ORINTHIAN.
A Man With a White Hat, and
How He Was Bagged.

A skipping Mississippian was
scoOped last night by Captain 0'Hayer
and Detective Pride of the police
force, aud this forenoon went speeding
back to CoriAth, accompanied by the
latter officer. Late last night Chief
Davis received a telegram from the
Marshal of Corinth, which said:
Arrest Henry Bullard, age forty
FIVE; wore white hat"
The passengers who arrived on the
late train were all inspected as they
stepped ashore, but the man wanted
was not identified. After midnight a
round of the hotels and boarding
houses was made, but. nobody had
seen the man with a white hat. On
the register Of the Chambers
house the officers saw some
thing which aroused their suspicious.
The names Of Mrs. Billiard and two
sons appeared, followed by the name
81. Hall" Mr.. Hall was aroused
and accused of running away from
Corinth. lie acknowledged the truth
Of the assertion, aud said his name
was Billiard, Dragging that he had
escaped from the officers a. some
station between here and Corinth by
changing his hat, and had hoped to do
it here. He begged to be allowed to
return, stating that he was only wanted
for selling mortgaged property, and
was sure he could settle the matter by
paying off the mortgage with the pro-
ceeds Of the sale. He was allowed to
return, aud Detective Pride accom-
panied him.

Cotton from st. Louis to the East
ern seaboard is Sc per cwt less than
ruling rates from this point-not Sc
more as was written by a prominent
railway official in a note to this Office
a few days since. The present figures
are 44c from st. Louis to New York
which, after deducting 15c for com
pressing, nets the railroad 29c. 1t is
said, however, that even this figure is
nominal, and that special rates arc
made to favOrite customers. The rate
from here to New York is &c pei
cwt, leaving BIC net after taking of
l5c for COMPRISING. AT one time,
before the late reduction of l5c pei
cwt, the difference in favor of st
Louis was 2lc per cwt, and cotton
went rolling into that market at an
exceedingly lively rate from Texa;
and elsewhere in the Southwest. The
roads south of the Ohio were natu.
rally compelled to reduce rates to pro.
tect their own and the mercantile in.
terests Of this section. The railway
freight agents arranged a tariff early
in the season aud fixed rates, it is said
were never charged by the St. Louii
roads.
