Marriages are doubtless made in
heaven; we have the assurance for it
in many line, but it would still APP
pear that they arc open to the charge
OF occasional mistake. and that it is just
as we'll in celebrating them in this low
er sphere to see that all the prelimina-
ries are satisfactorily settled. Such
care, at any rate, would have avoided
the very painful results which at this
moment attach to a nuptial ceremony
that took place short time ago at We
roma. In that town, for some reason
or other, the official intrusted by the
sindaco TO issue marriage licences mix
ed up the names of the applicants in
such sort that when the day arrived for
uniting a number of young couples, the
wrong people found themselves named
in the document, and had to choose
betweed taking the partners selected
for them or pcstponing the marriage
altogether for some time, with the OBJ
vious chance of never getting married
at all. With much reluctance on the
part of some. and, grevious to relate,
joy on the part of others, the ceremo-
ny was allowed to proceed, and q num-
Der of people who until then had been
strangers 10 one another were declared
man snd wife in true Italian form. 1t
is satisfactory to know that IN the opin-
ion of the sindaco of the town. this was

ment at my expense maddened me.
A strange calm succeeded this storm.
1t was caused by some wor.s uttered
by my tormentor.
"You really must forgive me:

Robertson lives in one of the other
houses. We frequently get parcels and
letters, aud even callers come to the
wrong house; but in all our experience
we have never had so amusing a mis-
take so early in the day as this one"
Now, this explanation toned down
my anger considerably; but the words
which followed were like balm to my
troubled heart. Mr.. Robertson will

At 7:15 O'Clock last evening Walter Lake,
the little 6-year-old son of Charles II. Lake, the
contractor, residing at No. 1897 U street, was
changing on behind n bobtail car on Four
teenth street. near NJ, to steal q ride, and
jumped Off as a grocer wagon was passing,
driven by Mr.. Felix Brooks, of the firm OF
Brooks & Co., and the little boy was struck on
the breast by one Of the front wheels of the
wagon and thrown to the ground. Mr.. Brooks
stopped the wagon, and, picking up the child,
carried him to the nearest building and sum-
moned Drs Blair and Lamb. All possible re-
lief was given to the little sufferer, but was
nnavailing, and the child died in half an hour.
The body was removed to Mr.. Lakes resi-
dence, and the Coroner notified. Mr.. Brooks
offered to surrender himself TO the police, but
as it was evident that he was in no respect to
be blamed for the accident, he was not taken
into cusfOdy.
