~
ia the early hours Of this morning
a. the Baptist church on Second
street, near Adams, an interesting
marriage ceremony was celebrated
between Mr.. Edward Craig and Miss
Kate Horn, both Of this city.
The Rev. R. A. Venable Oficiated
in tying the nuptial knot, and his part
was performed in an exceedingly
graceful and modest manner. In
deed, the entire affair was notable for
its beautiful simplicity.
There we're no attendants beyond
Mr.. Brooks Hatchett and Mr.. Charles
Smith, who served the visitors as
ushers on the occasion. Despite the
rather unusual time for marriage cele.
bration, a large number Of friends,
acquaintance and others were in at
tendance, among them many young
people of both sexes, together with a
liberal representation of the families
Of the Messrs. Rruce; also N. Will
liams and family, H. Brooks and
family, Mr.. George, Captain Collier,
Mr.. Knapp and a host of others
whose faces appeared familiar, but
whose names escaped notice.
The church altar, adorned with ever
green's, presented an inviting aspect,
while from an arched projec-
ton over it were pendant a
trio Of appropriate emblems in the
form Of sheaf Of grain with a cres-
cent swaying beneath, to which were
attached in a monogram the initial
letters of the bride and groom. The
audience were RECALLED with bridal airs
from Lohsngrin, Mendelssohn and
other authors, in Winkler's best style,
on the rich-toned organ Of the sacred
edifce. The bride, attired in a light
travelling costume, entered the church,
leaning on the arm of her future
spouse, and stepped to the swelling
notes Of the bridal march in trent of
the chancel, where the minister made
the happy couple one, delivered a
short prayer, and gave each his bless
ing; then, after congratulations they
left the church, proceeded to the rail-
way depot, and started for Cincinnati
to spend a month among relatives and
friends, after which they return to
take up their. residence in this city.
Mrs. Craig has been reared in this
city, having resided for some years
past with her sister, Mrs. De Groat, of
Chelsea, where she has been noted
for her many excellent qualities Of
head and heart. Mr.. Craig is con-
nected with the prominent mercantile
house of R. G. Craig & Co., seed
dealers, and he is well known to a
wide circle as a gentleman Of sterling
worth and superior business attain
ments. His brother, Mr.. Joseph
Craig, secretary Of the gas company,
with many other relatives, attended
the wedding and saw the groom and
bride safely of on the honeymoon trip
toward Ohio.
Mr.. and Mrs. Craig have the best
wishes of wide circle of friends for a
prosperous and happy connubial
career.

That incorrigible little scamp,
Charlie Fitzsimmons, was again ar
rested yesterday for stealing a pair Of
shoes from E. Lehman & Co., and
howled most numerically when
caught. He approached the front Of
the store and reaching up with a cane
lifted the shoes from the hook on
which they hung, quietly stuffed them
under his jacket and sped away down
an alley. He was captured by Officer
Wilson after a lively chase. In
court this morning his mother stated
under oath that he was only eleven
years old, and yet he has given the
police more trouble, committed more
crimes and perpetrated more mischief
and deviltry than any other scamp in
the city. He has received several
yards Of personals in this and other
Journals in his short life timO. One
man and a boy have fallen before his
revolver, and several boys bear the
scars of his knife blade. He has
been known to steal the harness from
horses, literally wreck numerous va
cant houses and pilfer Offices and
dwellings, dividing the spoils with his
companions. He can climb like a cat,
and once robbed an Office of a gold
watch by climbing up a smooth iron
awning post twenty feet high. He
has been several times tried and
convicted, but sentence held up on
account Of his tender age. For the
last offense he was bound over to ap-
pear before the criminal court. He
will remain in Jail until trial.

The New York correspondent of
the Philadelphia Ledger, writing
under date of June 18th, says: The
Churchman oftO-day has an announce.
ment that will be likely to make some
stir in the religious world-namely,
that we are to have still another YER
sion of the New Testament, to be
known as the American Version"
and what is more, it is to BIO copy
righted under that designation. As to
the particular reasons for this publ
cation the Churchman says: 1.-THE
fact that the readings and renderings
proposed by the American committee
Of revision have been published in a
separate list-such of them, at least,
as were not adopted by the English
revisers-has vexed the minds of seme
people who cannot bear that anything
American should be made to take a
back seat, and certain others who are
not willing 10 acknowledge that there
can be any appeal from the judgment
of the American committee. \
This thing will probably go on until
every n who is dissatisfied with any
portion Of the so-called revision shall
put forth a new revision Of his own"

The London papers express the
most cordial admiration AOf the vast
panorama of the battle of Waterloo
painted by Mr.. G. Castellani, and now
on view in York street, Westminster.
The News says that many parts Of the
panorama r remarkable for the prob
lem they may present to those who
would trust to their eyes TO distin-
guish the false from the true. The
Pail Mall Gazette observes that the
panorama is an interesting instance Of
the adaptation Of perfectly legitimate
art to popular uses, and continues
thus "We stand close to the farm
house Of La Haye Sainte, and can OBJ
serve the battlefield in every direction.
The moment chosen is z o'clock in the
evening, and the final assault Of
Mount Saint lean is taking place.
Marshal Ney is seen in the foreground
at the head of the skirmishers of the
guard; Wellington is on the horizon,
under his legendary tree Napoleon,
in the middle distance, is dimly seen
among his staff officers. The illusion
is very striking INDEED, not because
Nj. Castellani's figures are very new,
or very ingenious or natural in their
action, but because his talent as a
landscape painter is remarkable in a
high degree. The horizon all round
tho spectator seems to recede without
any exaggeration, and some portions
of the work, such as the avenue lead
ing to Mount Saint Jean and the
whole group of trees aud buildings
around La Haye Sainte, are admirably
painted-almost too well for 50 ephe.

The South.

Mr.. r. M. Pulsifer, the senior ed
itor and proprietor of the Boston
Herald, was in Cincinnati Monday
on his return from an extensive
tour of the South, during which he
took in the Atlanta Exposition.
Mr.. Pulsifer is enthusiastic over
the display at the exposition, and
thinks a great point has been
achieved in getting the New Eng
land manufacturers in direct CON
tact with the cotton producers. He
says the New England manufacture
ers are going South to a considera-
BILE extent, and that a great deal of
Northern capital is seeking invest
ment there. Mr.. Pulsifer further
says, what is evident oany intelli-
gent observer, that Northern capt.
tai has every protection in the
South, which, he says, "is enthusi-
astic in developing its material re-
sources and not meddling much in
politics" The special needs Of the
South Mr.. Pulsifer sums up in a
word capital, judiciously applied
to the development Of its natural re-
sources. He thinks there will be
no trouble in getting an abundance
of skilled labor as the demand in
creases.-Battjmore Sun.

Mrs. Garfield's SOrrOw-The Ma
TONS Sin.
From the Evening Critic.l

From the Evening Critic.l
Naturally all eyes follow the dear
afflicted wife and family of the late
President to their home in Mentor.
In the seclusion of this home, she,
who recently occupied the highest
place in the land, sits to-day in
lonely widowhood. In her anguish
it is hard to see silver lining to
the cloud which overshadows her.
Still the consciousness that her hus-
band fell in the discharge of duty
and in his senses is comforting.
The thought that prayer ascends
from many a home all over the land
for the fatherless is also a solace IN
the trying hour. 1t is credltable
that such ample provision has been
made for herself and family. This
will remove all anxiety in regard
to the future.
While the nation is mourning
for this one family bereaved of a
fond husband and father, there are
thousands of homes being robbed
by strong drink of husbands and
fathers lust as dear to them. All
over the land to-day are heart-bro-
ken wives and mothers silently en-
during their sorrows with none to
comfort them. Theirs is a living
death, q constant dread, a terrible
reality. The joy of home has fled,
and those who should be the pro-
tectors of the weak and defenseless,
are wounded and dying. Why is
this? Because we are protecting
an evil that destroys more lives,
causes more poverty and crime
than all other causes combined.
This evil has the sanction of
Government, which takes the reve-
nue. from it regardless of the cries
and tears of the worse than widow
ed women and orphan children
whose homes are being ruined by it.
God has a controversy with the
nation for this sin. "Shall | not
visit for things saith the Lord"
If we, as . nation, would avert
the judgments Of an angry God, let
us Danish this curse which is
threatening our homes and leopard
izing all that is pure and noble in
manhood
'Let us break off our sins by
righteousness and our iniquities by
showing mercy to the poor"
