Orange Blossoms.
SPRINGFIELD, OHIo,l
November IL, 1881.

Eds. Independent.
On the evening of the 18th, ult., a
brilliant assemblage Of wealth and
beauty was gathered at the residence
of Hon. John Howell, to witness the
marriage of his only daughter, Mary,
to G. Campbell Janney of your city,
the Rev. Mr.. Webb, of the Second
Presbyterian Church, officiating.
The bridesmaids were Miss Hat
tie Wilson, Of Springfield, Miss
Hannah Hartwell, of Xenia. The
groomsmen, Messrs. Ralph Howell
and Harry Janney.
The lovely bride, a very decided
brunette, wore a white cashmere
dress trimmed in satin, with a spray
of natural flowers tastefully pinned
at the neck, as her only ornament.
AS we beheld the happy counte-
nances of this youthful couple, ra-
diant with hope and trustfulness we
could but pray that they might real
ize in abundant measure, the joy and
happiness Of which that glad hour
gave rich promise.
The day was one of those rare au-
tumn days, when the bright sun is
yelled by a soft haze, and suspicious
omen, we trust, of a life of sunshine
with only shadow sufficient to tenn
per it's glare.
During the evening an elegant and
bountiful collation. was served.
Mr.. Howell the brides father, one
of the prominent and influential cit
liens of this portion of Ohio, is a
native OF Jefferson county, West
Virginia, as is also his excellent
lady. Their cordial welcome and
genial hospitality fully attested to
their Virginia birth.
At ten O'Clock, the company dis
persed, thus ending one of the most
delightful social events it has been
our pleasure to enjoy.
The happy couple after a brief So
journed in Ohio returned to the
home of the groom in your city.

WHAT Mr.. BLAINE SAID UNDER
OATH.
Naw York Tribupa
Mrs. Cilristiancy u Maniac.

SHE is ARRESTED HALF DRESSED,
IN THE STREETS OF WASHING
TON.
WASHINGTON, November 22nd.-
The Christiancy scandal was made
more complicated tonight, by the
singular freak of Mrs. ChIistiancy
herself, who, it is feared by her
friends, is now suffering under alb
erration of mind. Shortly after nine
O'Clock tonight, James Hughes, the
colOred janitor of the Police Court,
who resides in that building, was
called down stairs by his little
daughter, who urged him to cross
the street to the assistance of a
woman, who, with nothing but her
underclothing on, and b~areheaded,
was coming along Louisiana avenue
towards D.. street. Hughes hurried
out, and as he approached the WON
an he discovered that she was
tearing her hair wildly and acting
very much like an insane person.
Hughes broke into a run, and seized
the woman as she was about ascend
ing the steps leading to the Office of
Cook 81 Cole, Sixth street. AS
Hughes placed his hand upon her
shoulder, the woman turned her wild,
scared face towards him, and he dis
covered, to his amaZement, that it
IA Mrs. Lille l.. Christiancy.-
Hughes called on a stranger who was
passing, to take charge of Mrs. Chris
tiancy, and then hurried for a ear
riage. The Office where she was
stopped was that of her attorney in
the divorce suit, Mr.. Cole. Chatter.
ing with cold, and still frantically
tearing her hair and gouging her
eyes, the unfortunate woman was
placed in the carriage which quickly
arrived, and was at once driven back
to the residence of her father, Mr..
Lugenbeel, three squares away. The
family in the meantime had discov-
cred her sudden departure, and, al
most craZed, the father set out III
search of her and met the carriage
driving towards his house. Mrs.
Christiancy IA taken to her room
and medical assistance was summon
ed. The matter was kept as quiet
as possible by the family, but when
que"tioned half an hour later, DR..
Lugenbeel informed a reporter that
he and his wife were in their roomin
the third story when he heard his
daughters room door open, and then
heard her descending the stairs. He
gave pursuit. AS to the lady's con
dition be said it was a temporary at
tack of insanity, for which there was
no cauSe that he knew of beyond her
existing trouble. She had somewhat
recovered from the attack, and there
was no danger, he thought, of any
serious result. He was greatly de-
pressed by the occurrence, and had
hoped that the papers would not get
hold of it.. At 10 a'clock DR.. Ralph
Walsh, who was summoned, had not
arrived, and as to her condition at
the present writing nothing is known
beyond her fathers brief statement.
Recent testimony in the divorce case
has been against Mrs. Christiancy's
side, rather than for her, and has no
doubt operated upon her mind to a
great extent.

BLAINE FOR P~ENDLEToN.
Boston Herald. Ind.

"Gath' hears that Senator Pen
dleton is laying wires quietly TO
get the next democratic nominal
ton for the Presidency. Pendle-
ton is a young man of fortune,
with few enemies in his own par
ty and many friends among the
Republicans. Moreover, it is said
that Pendleton has Republican
help, and that Blaine is not unfav-
able to his aspirations, provided
he himself Is showed aside by
Grant and Arthur.

ARTHUR'S AGONY.
PHILADELPHIA Times, Ind.

mir. Arthur in the intervals of
Cabinet making is said to be in
the agonies of composition over
his message to Congress. Warriors
wiseacres putting odds and ends
together hint that the fOrthcom-
ing paper is to be devoted to a
discussion of the tariff and the
present calamitous condition of
the pension funds. If Mr.. Arthur
has it in his mind to discuss the
revenues he can't do better than
to go over the extraordinary
things said in the tariff conven-
ton at Chicago. He will find
much in the utterances of those
ingenious economists to guide
him in the way he should not
go, and in saying the things he
should not say. AS to the pen
sions, everybody admits that the
bill was a piece OF wretched dem
agogi5m; but no party organized
as parties now are, by mere men,
will venture to interfere with so
dangerous a subject, for If a wise
law were passed it might involve
loss of votes to the trainers.

HOTELS AND HOSPITALITY.
Atlanta Constitution.

Bob TOombs is as notorious for
his hospitality as for being one of
the most rabid of the unrecon.
structed rebels. Not long since it
was proposed to build a hotel in
Washington, Ga. where he lives,
and a committee called upon him
for a subscription. "What the
hell do you want of hotel in
Washington ?" he cried. Every
respectable person who comes 10
town puts up with Bob Toom, !,
and is welcome, and every disre-
spectacle person leaves town b =
cause he cannot put up any
where ?" Such being the case the
project was abandoned.

If all the projected lines of rail-
road in West Virginia, and that ere
to run through the State, are COM
pleted, she will in a few years be one
Of the most prosperous States in the
Union. The lines now already sur
veyed and under consideration, will
cut through the very heart of the
State, east and west, north and
south, and when completed will open
up to trade and commerce inexhaus-
tible supplies of the finest timber,
coal and minerals in the world. The
wealth that must accrue to the State
by reason of this development of her
hidden resources, is incalculable.
After the roads now projected are
completed, it will not be long until
others are built, and before many
years we may expect to see the State
gridironed with railroads, and man
ufacturing towns and villages spring
ing up in the valleys and on the noun
tain sides where now reigns a soil
tude broken only by the bark Of the
wolf and the cry of the panther, and
where the foot of man has never trod.

THERE is a good deal of specula-
ton as to who will be elected U. S.
Senator from Virginia by the Read
juster legislature of that State. In
looking over the field, we have come
to the conclusion, based on a knowl-
edge of Mahone's method, that it
will be Riddleberger. Mahone's oh
ject is to strengthen his party, and
he will see to it that young and ac-
tive men, with a good following, are
selected for all the best positions that
are to be filled, as a result of the Re-
adjuster victory. AS the matter now
stands, Riddleberger is the coming
man.
