bition.
Macon Telegraph and Messenger.
Henry Turner lives in Atlanta, and,
being young man Of good habits and a
good trade, with fair prospect of max
ing enough on which to comfortably live,
one day found his heart bound up in the
silken threshes, and the fair object of his
alteration was Miss Annie Harrison, the
handsome and worthy daughter of James
Harrison. The suit would have progress
ed smoothly enough had it not been for
the objection of Mr.. Harrison. He did
not favor the match and the lovers were
compelled to meet in secret. About two
weeks ago Mr.. Harrison moved to Macon,
leaving the Atlanta lover disconsolate.
But when young folks make up their
minds to marry, the old folks may Just as
well give them their blessing and wish
them well, for marry they will in spite of
bolts and bars. Yesterday mornings
train from Atlanta brought Mr.. Turner
TO Macon and at the depot to meet him
was his affianced. Through friend who
had interested herself in their behalf the
young people were afforded every oppor-
tunity to make up their minds what to
do. and on yesterday afternoon they de-
cided. The lady friend escorted the
twain down town and secured the license.
In looking about for convenient place
in which the knot could be tied they
wandered up stairs into the open Office
of Colonel W. II. Wylly, on Third street.
The colonel was not in, but they took it
for granted he wouldn't care, and the
lady friend went ont and hunted up
Justice Freeman.
In all these Gretna Green affairs JUS
tice Freeman seems to be the man above
all others to rush for. Whether it is be-
cause he is always on hand or whether
it's his easy way of slipping the matri-
monial moose over the heads is q ques-
ton, at any rate he was found, and soon
Miss Annie Harrison was made Mrs.
Henry Turner. The party then mapped
out programme by which the bride
could return home and secure her ward
robe that they might proceed TO Atlanta
last night, and when our reporter babe
them good-bye they were as happy as
hearts ever get to be. 4

A FAMOUS WOMAN'S HOME.
The Interior Of Edgewood, Near Washing
ington, where Lives Mrs. Kate Chase
sprague.
From the Washington Star.


A broad and lofty hall extends through
the centre of the house, the rear door
opening upon spacious piazza, which
commands an extensive and diversified
view many miles in extent. The walls of
the main hall of the house are hung with
pictures; conspicuous among which are a
group of dogs, by Robinson; Scriptural
scene by an ancient and unknown artist;
an engraving from Carpenters painting
of "The First Reading of the Emancipa-
ton Proclamation" and Photographic
groups of the four children Of Mrs.
Sprague, taken a few years since in Paris.
The parlor of the house occupies the en-
tire lower floor of the western wing and
is elegantly furnished, most Of the furni-
ture having been manufactured in Paris,
and every article splendid example of
the skill of the designer and artisan. The
walls of this room are adorned with pic
lures of noted artists. On side table
stands statuette, in Partisan marble, of
the fair mistress of the mansion, who is
clad in her bridal attire.
The refined and elegant tastes of the
presiding genius of this su,nptuous abode
find expression in the numerous articles
of beauty in the shape of vases, classical
busts, mosaics and embroideries. which
lie upon the tables and mantels, hang up
on the walls and rest upon pedestals in
various portions of the room. Elegantly
bound albums of photographs and engra-
wings are conspicuous among the many
attractive objects in this apartment. and
a large collection of the works of stand
ard authors in luxurious bindings fill an
elegantly carved bookcase which stands
between the front windows. A door on
the eastern side of the hall opens into
large square room with lofty ceiling,
the Threshold of which one conversant
with the history of the place and of its
late distinguished proprietor can hardly
fail TO cross with reverential tread, for
this is the library where the late Chief
Justice Chase passed much of his time
when not engaged In performing the du-
ties incumbent upon his official life. The
most prominent object in this room is his
marble bust 10y Jones, which is remarka-
bic for its life-like and spirited expires.
sion and for its fidelity as a likeness.
The dining room is in most respects
the most elegantly furnished of all the
apartments in the spacious house, much
Of the furniture being of the most costly
workmanship. The sideboard and also
the cabinet containing the silverware are
of oak and covered with elaborate and
highly-iinished carvings from artistic de-
signs, representing fruits, flowers and fig
ures Of cherubs, which stand out in bold
relief These articles of furniture are
marvels of beauty and must have been
purchased at fabulous price Of the Par
isian manufacturer. They were brought
hither from Canonchet, as was also large
oval mirror which hangs against the
chimney, and which, with its delicately
carved oaken frame, representing a
wreath formed of forest leaves, amid
which two life-sized cherubs are disport-
ing, is in harmony with thebeauty of the
other articles.

Catching Insects in France.

A writer in French horticultural
journal relates this suggestive experience
with insects:
After sunset | place in the centre of
my orchard an old barrel, the inside of
which have previously tarred. At the
bottom Of the barrel | place lighted
lamp. Insects of many kinds, attracted
by the light, make for the lamp, and
while circling around it strike against the
sides of the barrel, where, meeting with
the tar, their wings and legs become so
clogged that they fall helpless to the bot
tom. In the morning examine the bar
re, and frequently take ont of it ten or
twelve quarts of cockchafers, which | at
once destroy"

Two items of news from Japan are sig

of liberalism; it may have a great dread
Of it still, but it has found out that the
process of subsidizing certain newspapers
has proved useless as a means of sup
pressing liberalism" and accordingly has
decided to give it up. Along with this
item comes another that the government
has resolved upon establishing public IL

factory worth about $4,000. In order to
keep Sherman from burning il they trans

Roche under arrest. Roche now sues the
United States for $4,000 and interest,
damages for the destruction of the prop

FACTS FOR FARMERS.
ITEMS OF INTEREST AND PROFIT TO
THE AGRICULTURIsT.
Sailing Butter.

Prof. Arnold says that the best rule for
sailing butter is to salt TO the taste of the
consumer. There is no use in applying
any particular amount of salt for the pur-
pose of preserving butter; because the
very lightest sailing is always more than
sufficient for all the effect salt can have
as preservative element. Generally,
one ounce of salt to sixteen ounces OF
butter SO as to obscure in measure any
faulty taste, is sufficient. If the flavor is
very fine it will not be desirable to
change it, but on the contrary, to give il
more prominence; hence, the less salt
say one ounce to twenty of butter, the
better.

What "Tea Gowns" Are,

custom now is among ladies of tom to
wear tea gown which, it NAV be ex-
planned for the uninitiated. is nothing
more than an elegant form of dressing
gown, the whole afternoon, and even
when en- iamille to dine in it. As its use
usually enables the wearer TO dispense
with the corset, the hygienic value of the
tea gown is apparent. II has been stated
that some ladies wear corsets even be-
meath the tea gown, but they are in a
small minority. II the tea gown be the
pioneer of other garments which NAV
expunge corsets from the list of ladies'
clothing, it should indeed be welcomed"
