"Tobias." in the Alexandria Demo-
crat, has suggested that we name our
baby Rebecca Maria Evangeline So
phronia, and that she be called
Becky for short. The Express man
implores us to go back on Tobias
Judgment altogether. To ease all
parties we will state that in family
council it has been decided to name
the baby for her two grand-mothers,
Angelina Eveline. and when the boys
come sparkling her few years hence
they can abbreviate her good old
fashioned name by calling her Miss
Lima for short.

CAMEaON - MCh the
residence of Mr.. H. Mcknight, the
brides father, at " o'clock Tuesday
evening, January ", 1882, Mr.. RoBr.
s. CAMERON to Miss. ELLA mcknight,
by Esquire A. L. Grow.
The celebration of the nuptials
above recorded was an occasion of
great interest and pleasure in this
community. As was to be expected
of an affair under the Management of
Mr. Mcknight, everything was a per-
feet success. Over q hundred invi-
tations had been extended, nearly all
being responded to in spite of the
inclement weather. The only rufile
in the arranged programme was the
failure of the Rev. Mr.. Prosser. of
Alexandria, to arrive in time to per-
form the marriage ceremony, but this
was not allowed to interrupt the in
tentiou of the principals or the pleas
ure of the guests. Seven o'clock was
the hour set, and after waiting half
an hour Esquire Grow was called up
on to perform the ceremony, which be
did in neat and ready style, very
much to the satisfaction of those con-
cerned. Miss. Missouri Griffin, Of
Pineville, acted as bridesmaid, with
Mr.. Lud McNeely as groomsman.
After the congratulations we're over
MIR. Cameron and his bride led the
way to the supper table. where more
than ample provision bad been made
for all the assembly. and the display
of roasted and baked turkeys, chick
ems and other meats, and wines, jel-
lies, cakes. pies, ETC., were enough to
make the mouth of an epicure water.
While supper wa~ in progress Mr..
Prosser made bis appearance, too late
for his official services, but in plenty
time to do justice to good supper.
Table after table was filed by the
guests. and il any one failed to get q
full supply Of refresbment for the in
ner man it was his own fault, as the
host made every effort to see that
all had q place at the table, even to
the colored folks, who had every
thing cleared away and q table set
for them.
After supper the first thing in or
der was dance, which, of course,
was led by the bridal party. The
ball having been opened there was
no cessation until about one o'clock.
when there was only short stop for
cake and coffee, and it was then re-
sumed and kept up until daylight.
Among those present from dis
lance were Mrs. Pauline Smith and
Miss Lizzie Able, OF Pineville, who
accompanied Miss Griffin, the brides
maid Also, Miss Matte Gray, now
of Pinevi1le, bnt former resident OF
this place. Lack of space forbids
our making any more extensive men
ton of those in attendance.
Their many friends wish the young
couple much happiness in their mar
ried life, to which we add the hope
that the Don" may be the progeni-
tor of q tribe as famous as the old
time Camerons of feudal days.

Minnesota for Health.

A lady came from Detroit, Mich, and her
great pride was being an invalid. She lost no
opportunity in stating that she came to Min
nesota to recuperate. She did not hesitate
to enter into conversation with any person
she came in contact with, giving advice, eli
matological or physiological, to invalids, and
seeking the same from those Of robust con-
stitution. Her conversation was always pre-.
faced with the Introductory inquiry SO com.
mon to visitors. .'Did you come here for
your health?" She thus addressed a stalwart,
ruddy visaged young man at the dinner
of Il e Metropolitan, a few days stree, and the
following dialogue epsued:

felt financially able to do this by reason Of
having made sale of some Lake Superior
propertv. He filled out check on the Cir
ard bank for q very large amount, and in
trusted it TO friend for collection. When
the piece of paper was presented to the pay
ing teller that official first scratched his chin
and then went to see the president of the bank,
who at that time was Mr. Boxer. the father Of
Hon. George II. Boxer. Mr.. Boxer came
forward smilingly. and said that while Colon
el Forney had quite large sum Of money on
deposit in the bank. the amount to his credit
was not equal to that called for by the check;
but still, if Colonel Fornev would step down
to the bank himself the check would be hon.

in an indignant frame Of mind. and told Col

piled the bg-hearted editor. IL have much

visit was made to the Girard Bank, however,
and Colonel Forney found, to his amafement,
he was much richer than he thought In the

Famous Theatre Fires.

The most fatal Of theatre fires, unless II
should turn out to be surpassed by the Vienna
catastrophe, was the burning Of the Saragossa
Theatre in 1878, when GOO persons lost their
lives. At the Csrlsruhe Theatre, in lS47,
l04 persons perished. The burning Of the
Opera House at Nice this year, in which 62
persons were burned or crushed to death, 10
still fresh in the public memory. In these
islands many theatres have been burnt down,
but some providential chance has always in
tervened to limit the proportions Of the catas-
trophe. The fire had broken out in the day
time, the performance had not begun or had
ended, or there were few spectators in the
house. II, for example, the Surrey Theatre,
when it was burnt down during the daytime,
in 1865, had contained an audience, few would
have escaped alive, so rapid was the action of
the flames. But Of all the calamities which
have ever in modern times overtaken crowd
of human beings in a single building, the
burning Of the church Of La Campania San
tiago, in 1868, has never been equalled or ap-
preached In one short hour 900 people,
nearly all ladies Of youth, rank and beauty,
were reduced to ashes. The flower of the
capital Of Chill bad gathered in the church, in
a spirit Of religious excitement, to pay its de-
votions at the closing celebration of the I'm
maculate Conception. Every seat was full.
Nothing that invention could suggest or
wealth supply was omitted in the adornments
of the occasion. The interior Of the church
was hung from roof to floor with floating
gauze and rich drapery, And lighted with fes-
toons of innumerable paraffin lamps. An
acolyte, in lighting the last lamp before the
shrine, raised fame which spread instantan-
eously. A rush soon choked the entrances
with wall of dead and dying twelve feet 10
height. The melting lead from the roof and
the blazing oil Of the severed lamps poured
down upon the heads Of 1000 tender women,
who could be seen from the windows of neigh
boring houses rushing wildly to and fro without
an outlet Of escape. The falling Of the roof
put an end to their agonies, and completed .
catastrophe which stands without parallel.
