AN AUGUSTA LADY's DESCRIPTION OF
A CHINESE WEDDING.-Mrs. Hale Hous-
ton formerly Miss Withrow. of Waynes.
boro,) writes home from China the follow
ing description of Chinese wedding,
which will interest our readers:
Yesterday we attended the marriage of
one of Mrs. Randolph's school girls and a
young divine Of the English Chinese Mis-
sion. The young lady was led in at one
door by a woman, aud was joined at the
altar by the groom who came in at the op-
posite door. The brides dress was q red
silk skirt, deliberately embroidered in front
and rear; Iarge-sleeved sack, which was
made of dark plum colored satin; large
white satin collar, embroidered with silk
of every color and fringe to match; d
frame work, covered with gay flowers,
covered her head, and over this was thrown
a scarlet veil about five fset square. The
brides face is not seen till the ceremony
ia completed, then her attendant removes
the veil and teTns her around to receive
the congratulations Of her friends. She
is not allowed to speak, but must keep her
face Strengthened while her appearances
are commented on, and all kinds of ques-
lions asked about her. She was taken to
the groom's home, and seated on the side
of the bed in the bridal chamber, where
she had to sit all day without a mouthful
to eat, while all the friends were feasting
around her. Her painted lips are not part
ed for any purpose. A Chinese bride is
certainly an object of pity.

LOGICAL WONDERS.
Saturday, the occasion of S. H. Barrett
& Co.'s exhibition ia this city was lively
day. At an early hour people from all
parts of the surrounding country filed our
streets anxious to see this colossal circus
and menagerie make its grand entree or
street parade. The parade was superb
one and met with approval upon every
side. At the afternoon exhibition the
large circus tent was crowded with anx-
ious spectators to see the wonderful rid
ing, tumbling and slack rope performances
and other rem arkable performances done
in the ring of the Barrett show. Every
thing was as represented, and the large
audience was indescribably delighted with
the afternoon entertainment. The fame
of the afternoon's performance was her
aided all over the city by it's witnesses and
created great desire to see it among those
who were not able to get there IN the after
noon.
10o result was Qcn6Ial IuSu hU CNO
night show. Extra seats had to be ar
ranged between the tiers and ring to &C.
cOmmOdate the crowds. Everything con-
nected with this monster menagerie, cara
van. museum and circus was strictly
first-class and should be seen by young and
old
The comprehensiveness and infinite va
riety and rarity of the grand geological col
lection delights the naturalist and amaZes
and instructs all. 1t is a creation reflect
ing display of the mightiest and fieTcest
beasts of the tropics and jungles; the Gu
rious and beautiful birds of Thousand
forest isles, and even the mysterious depths
of the ocean and the marshy beds of tropl-
cal rivers have been explored to secure gil
gantic amphibi9 and reptlian monsters.
The great feature of the Barrett shcw is
that from the entrance of its vast zoologi-
cal garden to the exit of its Rome-eclips-
ing arena. everything challenges attention
and admiration, while the elegance and
decorum with which every department of
the great confederation is conducted
secures the patronage and approval of
the most refined, and attracts numbers who
are not in the habit Of attending public en-
| tertainments Of any description.
The audience on Saturday night was es-
tinated at 5,OO0.-Ol City Derrick. May

'Uld Man Newberry."

1t is not generally known of this Vir-
gin ia Senator, who is as popular through
the State as he is in his own district, that
he learned to read and write after he was
grown. Many years ago there were on the
road in Augusta county two young men
driving drove of cattle. The night over
took them near the noted school Of Maj.
Jed Hotchkiss near Mossey Greek and they
stopped there. One of them attracted
Maj. Hotchkiss' attention particularly, on
account Of his bright mind. In conversa-
ton he told him that though twenty -one
be neither knew how to read or write. and
he was ashamed to 60 to school at his age
and size for the boys would make fun of
him. "Well," said Maj. H., "You 90 on
home with these cattle and come back here
and Ill teach you and you shan't be made
fun of either. So the young fellow. who
was Samuel H. Newberry, did come back.
applied himself and made one the best
scholars among the hundred and more
who were gathered there. He has never
forgotten it, aud takes pleasure when his
old preceptor visits Richmo nd during the
legislature, in inviting him to his seat in
the Senate and tell ng the legislators near
that there is the man that taught me how
to read" "Old man" NeWberry is self
made man and does great credit to his
maker.
