The joyous Wedding of q Young Hang0-
riam Couple srhO Ran Ascay from
Home.
New York Sun.
The rotunda of Castle Garden rever-
brated with music, song, and. laughter last
evening. A Hungarian marriage ceremo-
ny, performed by Hungarian clergyman,
took. place there. The bride is pretty, soft
eyed, well-proportioned girl of eighteen
The groom is young man about twenty
two years old. They are both Hungarian
immigrants. Formerly they were school
mates in Wesprim. AS they grew older
they began to look upon each other in a
light that caused their families to separate
them. They resolved not to be separated,
and fed to America.
They recently announced their intention
of becoming man and wife. Count Paul
Esterhazy, president of the Hungarian
Colonization society, took an interest in
the couple. The Rev. Francis Kecske-
nett, pastor of chapel connected with
the Church of the Strangers. volunteered
to perform the ceremony. Messrs. D. A.
Mayer, E. Karacsonyi Hungarian mer-
chants), Supt. jackson, Commits
sioner Haulselt, and numerous Hungarian
and American residents were present in
the rotunda of the garden. One hundred
happy Hungarian peasants stood in coup
les waiting for the Hungarian gypsy band
of this city to start the music. The men
wore white garment termed gotga, when

A NINE-LETTER PUZZLE.

Something to Bother the Youthful Mind
During the Holiday Season.
Since the ingenuity and mathematical
skill of the whole country were so severely
taxed by the fifteen puzzle, with its curious
and perplexing combinations, there has
been flood of similar contrivances, which
have excited more or less interest, but all
have fallen far short of the success at
tanned by the pioneer in that line oil
amusements. The latest invention is the
nine-letter puzzle, and it bids fair to rival
in difficulties the best of those that have
gone before. The inventor, as long ago as
the winter of 1880 had perfected the COM
bination of letters essential to the COM
pletaness of his puzzle, but he was only
recently prevailed upon by his friends to
have it copyrighted. The following dia-
gram will convey an accurate idea of the
arrangement of this puzzle:
Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1882-12-26

Each one of the nine letters above is
printed on a small square block of wood
and to solve the puzzle it is necessary SO
to arrange these letters that they will form
one complete square, having three letters
on each side, and while constituting such a
square the nine letters must also form eight
different and distinct English words that
can be found in standard dictionary.
These words cannot, of course, contain
more than three nor less than two letters,
and they must not read from the right to
the left. The combination must be made
from top to bottom, vertically; from left
to right horizontally, and from left to right
diagonally.
For example, using the letters as they are
printed in the diagram above, without any
intention of spelling actual words, the fol-
lowing would be legitimate combinations:
PLO, CHA, DYR, Ped, LILY, OAR, PR,
Do, LA, CL, CY, VA, making in all only
twelve possible combinations under the
rules governing the solution of the puzzle.
RIP, OLP, AY and others made from the
right would not be allowable.
It can readily be seen that the solution
of this puzzle under these conditions must
be attended by no inconsiderable difficult
ties, and as the difficulties it presents can
safely be taken as a measure of the sue
cess puzzle will have, it does not seem
rash to predict that the nine letter puzzle
will arouse no little interest.
In conversing about the obstacles he has
had to overcome before reaching this final
combination of letters, the inventor said
that he devoted four months to the per-
lection of his plan. At first he tried but
six letters, and then eight, and even when
he had settled upon nine as the proper
number, it seemed to him that five was as
large number of words as could be
formed out of them. At last he struck
upon the nine letters that constitute his
puzzle, and is convinced by his numerous
experiments and the efforts made by
friends to solve it that it is the most COM
plete set possible.
One solution tt at has several times been
reached contains seven words, and falls
one short of the requisite number by an
infringement of the rule governing the
puzzle. After the seventh word there is
something very like big "if" left, which
may or may not be construed into hint.

The women had their hair braided with the
national colors of Hungary. Some of the
men had bells attached to their heels.
When the music struck up the bride, led
inclosure into an open space in the ro-
and carried large bouquet. The groom,
who was in his work-day clothes and wore
a pair of heavy dogskin boots, walked after
the bride. Behind them came the fifty
Hungarian couples. They marched twice
around the rotunda and then stopped in
front of the clergyman, who sat in a large
armchair in the south end of the rotunda.
He arose and addressed the couple in
their native tongue. The girl
looked modestly downward and the young
man gazed steadily at the clergyman,
who told them that, as they were in q
strange land, far away from home, they
should love each other more dearly than
man and wife ordinarily love. Two
bearded Hungarians were then called from
among the throng to witness the marriage.
The clergyman put the right hands of the
couple together and pronounced them man
and wife. Mr.. Taft Perczel, q relation of
one of the Hungarian ministers of state,
then presented the bride with bouquet.
The music struck up again and the com:
pany began the wedding dance, in which
the bride and groom were active partici-
pants. The dance was followed by sing
ing, in which all the immigrants Joined,
and another dance, in which the fantasia
cally clad dancers formed circle by join
ing hands, and dashed around in a careless
and boisterous way.
The brides name was Ann Weber. 1t is
now Mrs. Samuel Kovacsi, which is Hun
garian for Smith.

SHERMAN AND SHERIDAN.

The Var Records Go to Shosr that Gen.
Sheridan is entitled to Succeed Sherman
by Direct Promotion.
In various discussions relative to. the
retirement of Gen. w. Tecumseh Sher-
man, of the United States army, the point
has been raised in certrin quarters that
Lieut.. Gen. Sheridan was not entitled to
the mantle of his senior and this point has
been based upon the alleged fact that Gen.
Sheridan had been promoted irregularly
over the heads of seniors to his present po-
sition. In following up this line of argu-
ment it has been urged that Maj. Gen.
Hancock was as fairly entitled to the pro-
motion as Lieut.. Gen. Sheridan. An in
vestigation of the war record shows that
Gen. Sheridan not only holds his present
rank by reason of direct and natural pro-
motion, but was in one instance outranked
or jumped by Gen. Meade.
John G. Fremont, H.iW. Halleck, o. S.
Grant, w. T. Sherman, George B. Mcclellan
and George G. Meade resigned from the
army before the rebellion; Meade was the
only one of these who returned to the
service prior to the breaking out of the
war. In May and August, 1861,
Mcclellan, Fremont and Halleck then
in civil life, were appointed major
generals in the regular army. Grant was
appointed major general in July, 1863. No
changes occurred among the major gener-
ais until grant was appointed lieutenant
| general, March 2, 1864. Fremont resigned
June 4, 1864, and Sherman was appointed
major general Aug. IL, 1864, vice Fremont,
resigned. On Nov. IA, 1864, the president
appointed P. H. Sheridan major general,
to rank from Nov. 8, 1864, the date of
McClellan's resignation. The relative
order then was: Grant, lieutenant general;
Halleck, Sherman, Sheridan, major gener-
ais, with two vacancies among the five al
lowed by law. Meade was uext appointed
major general Nov. 26, 1864, and the re-
naming vacancy was flied by the appoint
ment of George H. Thomas, Dec. Is, 1864
completing the list of all appointed major
genkrals during the war, Hancock, Soho
field and Pope having been appointed
such since 1865. In 1866 Grant was ap.
pointed general, and Sherman lieutenant
general: on March 4, 1869, Sherman became
general, vice Grant, elected president, and
Sheridan was appointed lieutenant general
vice Sherman, promoted.
Since the foregoing promotions the
statements have been repeatedly published
that Sheridan had s'oversloughed'' OF
Jumped Meade; it has alsobeen stated tina,
he had been placed above Thomas and Han
cock. As to the last two named, it neeo
simply to be answered that Sheridan wa:
their senior. The exact circumstances
Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1882-12-26

under which Meade eventually took ranl
as major general directly above Sheridan
instead of the next below him, were as fol
lows:
| As shown by the records of the war de.
partment, Meade's actual appointment al
major general did hot occur until twenty
days later than that of Sheridan, and Gen
Grant was embarrassed by a request from
Meade that his appointment might be
dated from some important military event
Grant desired him to name event. Meade
suggested ssthe occupation of the Weldon
road" Grant recommended Meade'e
appointment dated therefrom, and the
secretary of war on Nov. 26, 1864, directed
! the appointment of Gen. Geo. G. Meade as
| major general in the United States army
to be dated from ''the occupation of the
Weldon road" The same records show that
Gen. Grant telegraphed from City Point,
Nov. "a, 1864: "The date of our occupation
of the Weldon railroad is Aug. 18, 1862
BY this process of ante-dating Meade's ap-
pointment, it ranked that of Sheridan by
the interval from Aug. Is to Nov. 8, 1864.
When congress met in December, 1864, the
promotion of Sheridan was promptly con-
firmed; not so, however, with that of
Meade, the military committee of the SEN
ate delaying considerable time in report
ing Meade's name, because this ante-dating
of his appointment placed him above
Sheridan. Finally it was intimated to the
senate Sheridan had consented to the ar
rangement at the request of Gen. Grant,
which was fact, in order to relieve the
latter from the embarrassment occasioned
by Meade's application, before described,
and Meade was then confirmed. The let
ter of Gen. Grant was as follows:
did not consent to Meade's appoint
ment, dating back of Sheridan's, which
had been made for an important victory,
until had communicated with Gen. Sher-
idan and obtained his consent to recon-
mend it. II. s GRANr
