ed to marry him in II months and . day from
the date of her first husbands death. The
happy day fell ON w Wednesday, and the cere-
mony was TO take place at the brides house.
A magnificent wedding feast was prepared,
and about 20 guests were invited to partake
of it.
The hour appointed for the marriage was
set for 6 p. NJ. In the forenoon the bride
roon,-elect arrayed himself in his best and
went of to invite a few friends in the country
who had been forgotten. The afternoon mail
brought postal card from him stating that
he had conscientious scruples about marrying
a woman SO recently widowed. He would
make it a matter of prayer. and would abide
the result OF his feelings when through. She
was not to take this as a positive declination
to marry, but if he did not arrive at 6 o'clock
Z. NJ. she might consider the marriage OFF.
Mrs. Kennedy did not faint or go into
Mysteries, but she decked herself in her bridal
robes and smilingly received the guests bid
den to the feast. When the minister and all
those with wedding garments had arrived,
the lady called the meeting to order and read
the recreant Cummings card. Loud and
prolonged were the denunciatious of the
absent grooms conduct.
This need not prevent the feast" said
Mrs. Kennedy, and the guests fell to banquet
ing Immediately. After supper the room
was cleared for dancing, and Mr.. Washington
Williams, an elderly bachelder. led the ger
man with the bride. He became so enamor-
ed of her that within an hour he proposed
and was accepted. The minister was recalled,
and at IL L. Nj. Mrs. Kennedy was made Mrs.
Washington Williams. The marriage had
scarcely been performed when the door-bell
was rung violently, and in stalked the con-
scientious Cumming. He had wrestled in
prayer with the question, and had concluded
to come back and marry. After being intro
duced to Mrs. Williams it was gently intimat-
ed to the broken-up Cumming that the late.
ness of the hour suggested the propriety of
his going.

ThurlOW Weed on PresiJen
Arthur.

To reporter of the Tribune Thurlow
Weed expressed himself as follows concern
ing President Arthur:
about three weeks ago l had a long and
frank conversation with General Arthur |
have known him long time, and our friend
ship has been uninterrupted since he was on
Governor Morgan's staff. There was, there
fore, no restraint in our conversation, and ii
inspired me with confidence in his wisdom.
While hoped the President might be spared,
| felt reconciled, so far as General Arthur
was concerned. | think he will try to do
what General Garfield would have done if he
had lived. think he will go to Washington
with that intention. Nothing can be palmer
than his duties in this regard and nothing
more certain than that one course will trans
fer largely the confidence of the republican
party to him and make his administration
popular while any departure from it will break
him and the republican party down. Ibelieve
he is going to be a wise man and administer
the Government wisely and well. but if
should be disappointed in my expectations
he will destroy the Republican party and
himself. Everything is in his hands and
feel it is safe to leave it there. The surest
way for him to guard against mistakes is to
act on his own judgment. He has expert
ence and knowledge enough to administer
this Government if he will but be guided by
them and take up nobOdy's quarrels and no.
bodys ambitions. His visit to Washington
after the shooting of the President has been
fortunate all around. | think he got many
useful ideas there. Indeed he told me in the
conversation which l have referred to that he
felt that he was better prepared if the
emergency should come now, than he would
have been if he had not passed the time he
did in Washington, and made the acquaint-
ances he made there. He told me that his
relations with the members of the Cabinet
were pleasant, and that he had passed the
time very agreeaby with the Secretary of
State and his family, and that Mrs. Hunt, the
wife of the Secretary of Navy, and his wife
were girl acquaintance and friends and there
was a pleasant intimacy there. All his talk
confirmed my favorable impressions of him
and feel now that though it is a great re-
sponsibility he is equal to it. He cannot fail
to profit by the lessons which the fate of the
three other Vice Presidents who became
Presidents teach

Swain said: "Oh. no: don't do that, Mr..
President. See if you cannot get some more

dent replied. Mrs. Garfield gave him the
hand glass. He held it in a position which
enabled him to see his face. Mrs. Garfield,
DR.. Bliss, DIR. Agnew, Gen. Swain and Dr.
Boynton stood around the bed. saying not 4
word, hut looking at the President. He
studied the reflection of his own features at
length. He weariedly let the glass fall upon
the counter-pane, and with sigh said to Mrs.
Garfield Crete, | don't see how it is that
a man who looks as " ell as | do should feel
SO dreadfully weak" In "A moment or two he
asked for his daughter Mollie. They told
him that she would come to see him later in
the day He said however, that he wanted
to see her then. Thereupon Colonel went to
the beach, where Miss Mollie was sitting
with Miss Rockwell, and told her that
her father wanted to see her. When
the child went into the room she
kissed her father and told him that
she was glad to see that he was looking so
much better The President said, ''Do you
think that look well, Mollie?" She said, 81
do, papa" and then she took chair and sat
near the foot of the bed. A moment or two
after DIR. Boynton noticed that Miss Molly
was swaying in the chair. He stepped up to
her, but before he conld reach her she had
fallen over in dead faint. In falling her
face struck against the bed-post. and when
they raised her from the floor she was not
only unconscious but also bleeding from the
concussion which she had received. They
carried her out where she could get the fresh
breeze from the ocean, and after restora-
tives were applied she speedily recovered
from the faint The room was close, the
windows were closed, and Miss Mollie has
not been vcryl well; and all these causes,
combined with anxiety, induced the fainting
fit. The President they thought, had not
noticed what had happened to his petted
child. for he seemed to have sunk into the
stupor which has characterized his condition
much of the time, but when DIR. Boynton
came back into the room he was astonished
to hear the President say, Poor little Mollie,
she fell over like logs what was the mat
ter?' They assured the President that the
fainting fit was caused by the closeness of
the room, as well as the delicate condition
of the girl, and when he had that assurance
he again sank into a stupor or sleep which
lasted until the noon examination. This
stupor was not healthy sleep. The Presi-
dent frequently muttered and rolled and
tossed his head upon the pillow. Once when
awakening from this semi-sleep he murmured
''the people, the people, my trust"

The Presidents Mother.

The news of her sons death was carefully
broken to the Presidents mother. She is
with her grand daughter, Mrs. Larrabee, at
Solon, Ohio.
''Grandma," Mrs. Larrabee said, "would
you be surprised to get bad news this morn
ing?"
why don't know" said the old lady.
"Well, shouldn't, said Mrs. Larrabee, II
have been fearing and expecting it all the
morning
Grandma said Ellen, "there is bad
news"
''Is he dead?'' asked the old lady tremu-
lously.
'IIe is" replied Mrs. Larrabee.
The quick tears started into the sensitive
eyes, there was no violent paroxysm of grief,
no expression of frenzy told of the anguish
within.
SIS it true?' she asked with guivering
lirs), then Lord help me, for if he is dead
what shall do
She was rendered weak and little nervous
by the announcement and was obliged once
or twice to repair TO her room where in soli-
tude she might begin to comprehend the
awful truth. But she was not content to re
main there, and soon returned to the sitting
room. About $50 o'clock Mrs. Garfield
was found sitting in the rocking chair, wait
ing for news. The morning papers she read
with eagerness.
''It can't be that James is dead" she mur-

Although her general health is good al

and Mrs Larrabee dares not hope otherwise

great affection not once has she hinted at a lack
of faith in the Supreme One that all is no,
intended for the best.
