Row u Georgia Bride was
Captured.
Montezuma Weekly,

On Monday night, the 9th instant
the friends of Mr.. Frank Furgns0n,
of Terrell, made "A second attempt
to capture a bride for him. After
communicating with her through
the window it WAS found out that
all the windows were fastened down
and it was impossible to open them
and the only egress she could have
was through the room in which her
father and mother slept. All ar
engagements being completed, q
break was made and soon Miss Mary
was in the hands of her lover and
friends. But the old folks were
aroused and the throwing Of rocks,
the knocking down Of fences and the
running hither and thither of foot
men could be heard for two mile
AS good luck would have it the old
man got after the wrong party and
pursued them to Buck Greek swamp.
When he could pursued them 40
further he cried out: Go, but if |
had my shoes | would get you"
We all were soon in our buggies and
proceeded to Oglethorpe in double
quick time. At half-past 4 O'Clock
Tuesday morning Frank and Miss
Mary were made man and wife.

Ministerial Kissing.

A difficulty in which an Ohio minis
ter has been involved has revived
again the matter of indiscreet clergy
men kissing their parishioners' wives.
1t is hard to understand, to say the
least, why this matter of OSCILLATION is
ministerial prerOgative. Very few
husbands like to see their wives en-
braced by another man, even though
that man be their pastor. So many
cases have lately come to notice where
in the indulgence of this practice has
impaired the usefulness of clergymen
and disturbed the peace and quiet of
many happy flocks that it would seem
that clergymen would come to realize
that this is one of the pleasures which
they must foregO when they enter the
Masters service. 1t does not help
along the spiritual welfare of parish,
and only sOws seeds of discord where
discOrd was not known before. If this
thing continues to increase, it may be-
come necessary to catechize the can
didate for ordination upon his belief
upon this point and give his answer as
much serious consideration as would
be advisable upon the point of total
depravity.

announced that he had told his friends
that he was not candidate for re-
election and that, if nominated, he
should decline the nomination. This
resolution he had not seen fit to
change. DR.. Bullard then moved the
substitution of the name of Alex. Dun
nett of Ryegate, and quite lively dis
cussion was evoked over this gentle
mans candidacy and his position OF
the temperance question. Being called
upon he said that he hoped the con.
ventiOn would acquiesce in the report
of the nominating committee, and thai
he had no statement to make as to hi.
position on the temperance question
but did not decline to have his name
used by the convention. The motion
to substitute was lost.
Henry S. Wright moved to substi.
tute the name of Henry French for thai
of Walter p. Smith for judge of pro,
bate. This elected another warm dis.
cussiOn in which the merits and de,
merits of the gentleman reported by
the committee were ventilated very
fully, the objections to his candidacy
being lack of ability, his unfamiliar
ity with the duties of the office, hi:
record upon the temperance question
and the thorough acquaintance will
and the long experience of the present
incumbent in the work of the office.
At this juncture it was voted thai
the names reported be acted upon sep
arately, and H. C. Ide of st. Johns
bury and Charles d. Brainerd of Dan.
vile were then unanimously adopted
as candidates for senators. The judge
of probateship was settled, aftel
another long discussion, by a vote o.
l0S for French and 95 for Smith. ia
bez Smith of Newark and J. H. George
of Hardwick as candidates for assist

Our New York Letter.
New YORK, Aug. IL,

New YORK, Aug. II, 1882.
The bumptiousness of our minor of
ticials is getting unbeatable. A dog
catcher has just distinguished himself
by shooting a small boy whose dog he
had stolen, illegally going into house
after it. A journalist was arrested fol-
sitting on his own stOOp the other
evening, and another gentleman on a
Rockaway steamboat was threatened
with arrest for laughing. There are
plenty of lamp-posts in Gotham and il
this sort of thing goes on there'l be
some queer fruit dangling from them
some fine day. The fact is, the mel
are too highly paid and made much of
They shouldn't get cent more than
soldiers and be under just as strict dis
cipline.
So poor Gen. Warren is dead-har-
assed and bounded to his grave by the
fragrant injustice of Sheridan. When
Hancock was wounded at Gettysburg,
Warren was placed in charge of the
second corps, and there first had a
grand opportunity to make reputa-
ton. His mastery covering the re-
treat of the army of the Potomac when
Lee, in October, 1868, made his race
for Washington, will never be forgot
ten, nor the magnificent way he han
died his men at Auburn and BristOe
Station, where he outmarched and out
fought the enemy in greatly superior
force, took four guns and 300 prisoners.
He was, indeed, fine fellow.
When a clergyman leaves his holy
toll and goes for mammon, he's sure to
come to grief, and it serves him right
If men set apart us examples to thei1
fellows deliberately indulge in sordid
greed for pelf, they hurt religion more
than the martyrdOm of a million saints
could do it good. Rev. Stephen H.
Tying, Jr., once a very popular but
ultra Evangelical Protestant EpiscOpal
rector, has been among the fieshpOts
of Wall street, and is being sued for
some $4,000, which, it is alleged, he
owed his partner. It's nasty idea,
even if the man is honest.
Two loving young people were
spoOning away at Long Branch the
other evening, and missed the last
train. The hotel was crowded, and
the situation was awkward. Being
very young and very fresh, they
couldn't keep their uneasiness to them
selves, and consequently their plight
became known to a score or more of
festive bachelors and others. They
were a tOney crowd, and numbered
among them judge, an eminent archi-
tect, still more eminent dinner-giver
and lobbyist, and the tOO-tOO Oscar
Wilde. Marriage was finally suggest
ed, and priest being reused out, the
knot was tied at midnight. Three
hundred ladies next morning were
crazy at being left out of the fun.
In such hot weather it was not lit
tie surprise to find twenty-five Brook
Ign aldermen, mostly with aldermanic
figures, tramping across the Brooklyn
bridge. 1t was a perilOus task, and
they richly deserved the feast that
awaited them on this side when they
landed. They went home in car1i-
ages. RADIX.

Another Convention Called.

BY notice elsewhere it will be seen
that the temperance element of this
county have called another county
convention to be held at this place
Monday, Aug. %. We have no time
nor room at this late hour for comment
further than this: 1t is the natural
outgrOwth of ring rule to which the
republican party has been subjected.
1t has been foreseen and predicted.
The hands of temperance people have
been tied by reason of the gag rule
which has been adopted at every mass
convention whereby the nominees have
always been dictated by the rum ele
ment. Had the convention called as II
mass convention here on Wednesday
been held as mass convention this
subsequent action would not have been
taken in all probability.

Senator Stewart, the independent
candidate for governor in Pennsyl-
vania, has invited General Beaver, the
republican candidate, to joint dis
cussion on the campaign. He will
also, it is reported, invite Mr.. Patti
son, the democratic candidate, to a
similar discussion. That is a capital
way to inform the voters of the issues
pending in the canvass.
On one of the recent hot DAYS, "a
tramp at Nashua, n. H., was enabled
to keep cool, and so cool was he that
he desired a warmer temperature. He
secreted himself in a refrigerator car
for a ride north. When the doors
were closed he found the atmosphere
reduced to freezing, and he began IA
vigorous pounding, which attracted
the attention of the brakeman who let
him out.
The boy who took clicking" was
satisfied with what he had taken.

Harrison of Indiana; for vice-presi-
dent, John D. Long of Massachusetts.

Messrs. smith and BIOdgett.

The substitution by the convention
of the name of Henry French for judge
of probate in place of Walter p. Smith
was due we believe to the conviction
that the affairs of the office would be
more certain of able administration in
the hands of the experienced men who
have so long held the place than any
feeling against Mr.. Smith. Mr.. Smith
received very hearty support and i'll a
ballot of over two hundred votes he
was beaten by only thirteen. The
square stand he has taken on all pub
lie and moral questions of late, should
secure IA generous treatment by the
public which we are sure the sober
second thought will accord him.
The attempt to substitute some other
candidate for states attorney in place
of Harry BlOdgett, the nominee of the
committee, would undoubtedly have
carried also had it not been found so
difficult to find candidate who would
stand. Mr. Bates the first substitute
declined decidedly, and Mr.. Dunnett
half declined and was so wholly non
cOmmittal on the Temperance question
that he was abandoned. AS regards
Mr.. Blodgett's candidacy, in an inter
view with him we learn this: He is a
temperance man and has been for two
years. He pledges himself to be
strictly one for two years to come. He
promises if elected to do his whole
duty as states attorney without fear OF
favor, and he invites the closest scru-
tiny of all his official course. All this
is not only creditable to Mr.. Blodgett
but it is something the public should
know as long as he is candidate fol-
Office with liability to be elected.
