and Miss H. Virginia Merriwether,
all of huntsville, Ala, under the
following romantic circumstances:
The Young gentlemen called at
theresidence of Col. Merriwether,
the father Of the brides, in Hunts
vile, on Friday evening and took
the young ladies out. ostensibly to
go to lecture, but instead of at
tending which, the party took the
1880 .. m train for this city. where
they arrived about midnight, and
proceeded to the Stanton House.
Their intention of being married in
the morning was immediately made
known and the parents of the pros
pective brides informed by telegraph
of there whereabouts.
Yesterday morning, marriage l.
censes having been procured, the
party drove to the Episcopal Rectory
where they We're quietly married In
the presence of IA few witnesses, and
returned to the Stanton House to
dinner, where their presence excited
much interest.
All the parties are highly connec-
ted, and belong to well-known fam
lilies in Huntsville, the ladies being
daughters of Col. Niles Merriwether,
formerly chief engineer of The Mem
phls x Charleston railroad, and
nieces of Mrs. l.. Virginia French,
the celebrated novelist and poetess,
and the gentlemen being promising
young lawyers.
The clandestine character Of the
wedding was occasioned by the fear
Of opposition on account OF the
youth OF all of the parties concerned.
The happy couples returned to
Huntsville yesterday afternoon.

IN NIEMORTAM.

Miss FANNIE A. WILSON. died in this city
Friday, March 49, $780,, after painful illness
of twelve months. Though nearly two years
now since her death, 40 public tribute has ties
tilted to her worth and exemplary character
But her memory is still preserved sacredly in
the hearts of her relatives and friends. Fol-
their consolation and as an offering on the
altar of virtue and true christian character at
which she was ever devout worshiper, these
few lines oIn Memoriam" are written. De-
ceased was long a teacher IN the Swayne
School. and was always Jealous as an educa-
tor and defender of her race. 1t is only such
characters whose works stand while their bod
les have slept for years in the tomb, whose
memories remain to their comrades as price
less treasures. But even our selfish hearts
woul not recall her gentle spirit from her
Heavenly home to live again through these
scenes of checkered life.
ssIn her springtime she flew,
To that land where the wings of the soul are
unfurled,
And now, like star beyond evenings cold
dew,
Looks radiantly down on the tears OF this
world"

FOR 1882.
THE PEOPLES PAPER.

THE GAZETTE lives because it is a neces-
sity. The peculiar state of affairs which
called it into existence mapped out its
course and decided its policy and princi-
pies. Steadfast and fixed in these, its
growth in circulation and influence has
continued since its establishment in No
venber, 1879 until to-day, 1T is known
and read in the remotest parts of the Union.
While in Alabama it has become a house,
hold word in nearly every colored family,
finding its way to hresides visited by no
other journal 1t goes on its weekly mis-
sion not only throughout our own State,
but to hundreds OF eager readers in adioin-
ing States.
In its distinctive field as
COlOred Journal,
now, as heretofore, it demands equal rights
and fair play for al Ren in the race of
life. 1t bases its demands on the plea of
justice and appeals to the fair judgn
reason and conscience of good people, to
redress wrongs and prejudiees which inno-
cent brethren are made to suffer because of
race connections Giving to the colored
citizen all his civil and political rights is
no favor, placing him under obligations,
but simple act of justice, restoring to
nim that which is his by his BIRTHRIGHr AS
MAN. The GAZETTE is too fair not to
admit the black mans inferiority in az
quired knowledge, culture, and refinement
of the world, but it is bold enough to hold
to the truth that, naturally, he is the peer of
the proudest OF the human family in the
highest and noblest attributes of the intel
lect, mind and soul. To argue the truth of
this fact requires condescention too
low for Il Negro to stoop. To advocate,
appeal and demand for him an equal chance
for the development of his talents in the
world of science. literature, art, commerce,
and the affairs OF life generally, is high
Christian duty and a special province Of
this journal. Great progress has been
made toward this end in the last decade,
and we look forward to the day when
broadened and enlightened opinion shall
completely liberate the Negro from the
wrongs Inflicted upon him by prejudices.
and every man shall be measured accord
ing to his worth and merit. To hasten
forward this time the GAZETTE will lend its
best energies and talent, fostering kindly
feelings between the races as an important
factor TO its realization.
Its weekly report of important colored
news gathered from all parts Of the world
will continue to add to it Il peculiar inter

Nj. Francois Lenormant has taken Jour
ney through Calabria, by way of relaxation
from his labors on his history of numis-
MATES and half dozen similar works of the
first order, and in the two admirable vol
umes which he has just published On hi,
travels, perhaps the most remarkable pas.
sage is that in which he makes passionate
appeal for explorations on the site of the
ancient Sybaris. There was a time when
Sybaris was the richest and largest CITY
in Italy. Its adult male citizens num-
bered 100000, and to this total must
be added the women, children and slaves.
Every one has heard of the luxury which
has made the name of "Sybarite" a by
word; and the eHhumation of the place,
supposing it to be practicable, would give
very different results to those attained in
the case of Pompeii, minor country town
OF the third or fourth rank. A whole civili-
ration dating back to the period from the
eighth to the fifth century b. Q. would, for
the first time, be brought to light. 1t is
true that Sy baris was utterly destroyed by
Croton, but it was destroyed in the manner
most favorable to the future explorer. The
Crotoniates turned the waters OF the river
SlatHlS upon lHe TOWN., ana
thus utterly blotted out its site.
But the alluyium of the Crathis has pre-
served Sybaris as the ashes of Vesuvius
have preserved Pompeii from the destroy
ing hand of the Middle Ages. If Sybalis
can be found at all it will be found as the
Crotoniates left it. NJ. Lenormant thinks
that the site can be pointed out with GER
tainty. But the city lies under at least 10
feet Of alluvial clay, in district where
water is met with everywhere at depth OF
Six feet below the surface. Excavation on
great scale must go along with constant
pumping Shy steam. The exhumation OF
Sybaris will, therefore, be a very expensive
affair, and can only be carried on either BY
government, or by the combined sub.
scriptions of great number of indiyidu
als.-[ Pall-Mall Gazette.
