threshold, in his old fashioned swallow
tailed coat, with a huge white cameli.
in his button hole, and pair of sur
prisingly white gloves.
"Have you brought your white
frock p was his first question to hi,
niece
'No Uncle, T."
THAT won't 'do," said Uncle Nahum
"No one must cor1e to my wedding
without q marriage garment. It't
lucky provided one for you. Come
upstairs, quick, and put it on, for the
parson is waiting and the company are
here"
"But, Uncle, the bride ?"
''You shall see her by-and-by," said
Uncle Nahum, despotically. "Come up
stairs now and change your Dress"
"But, Uncle, white silk" cried
Faith, looking in dismay at the glisten-
ing dress laid out for her use.
"What then? Isn't white silk the
thing for wedding? Put it on quick,
and I'll send some one up to bring you
down in five minutes"
And SO, with doubling heart, Faith
Nixon robed herself in the white dress,
with it's trimmings of vapory blonde
and long trail.
"Where's your veil p said Uncle Na-
hum, when he came himself, few min
utes later, to the door.
"Uncle, can't wear VEIL" pleaded
Faith.
'But you must" said Uncle Nahum.
Nobody comes to my wedding with
out veil" And he placed the wreath
lightly on her head.
"But, Uncle Nahum, they will take
me for the BRIDE"
"Let EN-" said the old gentleman.
ssTake my arm. Now come down stairs
and I'll show you the bride. Here
she is"
Lifting her bewildered eyes, Faith
Nixon beheld her own figure reflected
in full length mirror at the stairway.
"Heres the BRIDE" chuckled Uncle
Nahum. .and here's the groom" touch
ing Bourne's shoulder. "And here's
the parson, all ready and waiting. Now,
reverend sir" to the clergyman, "marry
'em as fast as ever you cam" And be-
fore either of the astonished young
people could demonstrate, they were
made man and wife.
Duke" cried the bride, as soon as
the ceremony was over, "did you know
of this ?"
"No, I didn't" said MIR. Bourne, with
his arm very tight around his little
wife's waist, "but I must say approve
very highly of the whole proceeding"
Uncle Nahum stood by, rubbing his
hands, with his whole face wreathed in
one prodjgious smile.
$50 you supposed it was l who was
to be married, eh?" said he. "Not a
bit of it-not bit of it. I'm too old a
bird to be caught with such chat as
that. No, no, little Faith. Did YOU
think I was going to turn my wee bir-
die out of her nest, after all the years
she has been cherished there? No, no,
only wanted to assure myself that your
fancy was a real fancy, and that this
young rascal here" shifting Bourne on
the shoulder once more, slowed you far
yourself alone and not for the money he
thought the old man was going to leave
you. And you're to live here, both of
you, and we'll be happy ever aft er
Strike up your harps and fddlAs. Let's
have q dance let's all be merry to-
gether.p
Uncle Nahum Nixon himself led off
the bridal quadrille, dancing in the
good old style of fifty years ago.

said Uncle Nahum, breathlessly, as he
cut one last pigeon wing, sand mean
to make the most of it,"

In Summer.


The fields were green around me
When last met my love
The birds they flew above me,
And sang in every grove.
The skies were blue as sapphire.
The clouds we're feecv white,
The summer sun was shining
With radiant, heavenly light.
How happy was our meeting
Upon that summer day
We babe farewell with sadness,
Afar apart to stray
And now the breezes murmur
With voices Of the past,
Whose aisles Of light and shadow,
In memory's vision cast.
Inspire dreamy longing,
And sense of weary pain,
For that summer day so feeting,
Will never come again.

he will unhesitating'y vote with the
Democrats The Ways and Means
Committee are understood to favor a
material reduction III these taxes, but
it is doubtful whether majority will
support total abolition Of the system.
Some are inclined towards the reno
val of taxes from everything except
tobacco and whisky; others are dis
posed to make tobacco free and leave
the tax on whiskey nndlsturbed, while
still others think it would be well, af-
ter abolshng all other taxes, to some
what reduce those on these two arti-
cles. That the internal revenue taxes
will be reduced, there can scarcely be
a doubt, but it is altogether impossi-
BILE to predict the precise form which
the Legislation on the subject will as
sumo. The only absolutely certain
thing in connection with the matter Is
that the men who resist the removal
of unnecessary burdens will encoun-
ter swift and emphatic popular con.

GOOD News for the Mining world.
Rocky Mountain Mining Record.

Rocky Mountain Mining Record.
Our attention has been lately direct
ed to new machine called the pneu-
matte Pulverizer, an invention of f. A
Lackenbach, of New York, which will
prove powerful rival of the stamp
mill, and, no doubt, eventually super
sede it altogether.
The principle on which the patent
is based is that Of two streams OF the
material to be pulverized being dash
ed against each other by powerful cur
rents of dry super-heated steam The
power being applied directly to he min
eral, the fragments pulv.ss each
other.
The only parts subject to WAR are
two tubes weighing one AND half
pounds, which cost but little and are
easily renewed The machine is adapt
ed to the pulverizing Of every class OF
minerals to any degree of fneness,
even to impalpability. The economy
OF working is from two to six times
gle eater than that accomplished by the
best stamp mill. The oxydizing effect
of the super-heated steam on the ores
is remarkable, and leaves them in the
best possible condition for amalgama-
ton.
The cost of the whole plant is much
less than the stamp mill, and will de
all that is claimed. Those who have
seen 1t IN operation while pnlverizing
the most refractory ores pronounce it
a perfect success.

The coronation Of the Gar.


London Echo.
A ST. Petersburg correspondent en-
phatically asserts that the Cars Cor
onation is fixed to take place in May,
1883 1t certainly seems long time
to wait, and there is no high household
in the world just now where the pro-
verbal slip between the cup and the
lip is more probable than in the House
of Rorlanof. The Nowosti, however,
is sanguine, and it announces that the
important event will he celebrated with
all the customary sp!cndor. A COM
mission has been appointed to make
all necessary arrangements and it has
already distributed nearly all its or
ders. The Commission, as may be
supposed, is not limited to the range
and expense Of its commercial deal
ings. The fullest confidence is to be
put in the contractors for work and
accessories; no cautions are to be re-
quired, and the contractors are to be
paid three-fourths of the sum agreed
when their work is completed, and the
remaining fourth after the coronation.
The expectation Of the event is already
giving new impulse to trade. The
Russian papers give one specimen Of
the ma nificence of the preparations
The ST. Petersburg firm of Grunwald
& Co., has received an order from the
Ministry of the Imperial Court for two
purple nantes, richly fecked with err
mine, for the Gar and Czarine, for a
colossal baldachin to overshadow the
throne. and carpet tor the steps of
the throne of the same materials. The
bestowing of this particular order was
obtained by the Grunwads as the re-
suit OF competition of the chief fur
dealers of the empire. 1t is said that
no fewer than 100, 900 pieces of ermine
will be required to execute the prize
design, 80, 900 for the baldachin alone
Foreigners have not been excluded
from competition for some Of the con-
tracts, but it was stated in the an
n )uncements of the Ministry of the
Court that preference would be given
TO Russian contractors. The ST. Pc
tersburg Press emphatically denied tho
story which appeared in London
contemporary, according to which the
Gar was crowned in private by the
Metropolitan Of Moscow during his
recent hasty visit, and that a docu-
ment in confirmation of the act is lodg.
ed among the Imperial archives so as
to be producible in the event of the
Cars death.

increase of Immigration.
Southe Urab Timas


All indications point to an immense
immigration into the United States the
coming year, the number being esti-
mated at quarter of million. The
great West will undoubtedly secure a
majority of these new corners, but ef-
forts are being made to have mauy Of
them settle in the South. Recently a
tract of sixty thousand acres of land
IN North Carolina was purchased for
colony of Memories from Russia
This movement is remarkable both be-
cause of its indication of the increase
OF the immigration in the South as
well "a of its exhibition of the ;nclioa.
ton of the Mennonites to establish
themselves in the United States. AL
though their conscientious scrunles
against bearing arms have been res
pected TO some extent by the Gear
they evidently regard this country as
the one where war is least probabIe
and where they may reasonably hone
to live in peace. They are most firm.
