st. Helena, an island of about 250
acres, encirclsd with perfect beach,
on whose bright pebbles and huge stones
the pure waters have washed we know
not how many thousands of years, was
made on Wednesday, the scene Of most
happy and festive accession, 1t being the
consumation of. "LOve's Young Dream
to affair maiden, ,andIa gallant young man
well worthy the fair prize he has gained.
By the aid of cars, the Algomah. and a
vessel chartered for the occasion, we
reached the island at noon, end were
welcomed by Wilson Newton, who for
thirty years has occupied the island as
a homo. This gentleman is SO years
old, never was sick, is active, cheerful,
and good company; large real estate
owner, a stirring business man, white
sOuled gentleman, who lives at home
with his interesting family, and enter
tains his friends most generously.
The parlOr had been artistically deco
rated with flowers from Chicago, and en-
blems suitable for the day, into which
the ever popular, and efficient Frank
McIntire, and Miss Jennie Newton, pre-
ceeded the groom and bride. The mystic
words that forever made +. +. Feurt, of
Naubinway, and Miss Aurilla Newton, of
St.iHelena, ,'One, were pronounced by Rev. K.
M. Thompson, pastor of the ChebOygan
Independent church.
In her exquisite costume, and queenly
dsmeanOr, the bride was perfect pic
turs of grace and lOveliness. The fami-
ly and friends kissed the bride, called
her by her new name, and c0ngratula-
tions was the order of the hour. Then
came the sumptuOus feast. The menu
was a rich one, embracing so many good
things to- eat, that we felt Napoleon
would not have complained of his exile
to st. Helena if he had been similarly
feasted.
IN, fray of numerous gifts Of silver,
etc, was elegant, and bespoke many
frieAds.
The party then took the boat and went
to Mackinaw City, where the Omni-
present CAPTAIN BouchaTi, he'd detained
his boat in order to get the opportunity
of kissing the bride, which he did, and
for once this solemn individual had a
joke to tell. We will never repeat that
joke. The genial n. Biddle was an at
traction all the day, and is a splendid
fellow. The happy couple started at $50
on the G. r. & |. for Portsmouth Ohio,
by Cincinnati and the Ohio river. They
will settle at Naubinway. A host of
friends wish them long life of happi-
ness.
At st. Ignace we had the sweet pleas
ure of shaking hands with the literati,
and found the editors the very best of
men. working incessantly for their
growing town. 1t does mans soul
good to meet a genuine newspaper man.
Marquette has 5000 inhabitants and
only one newspaper, st. Ignace has not
so many thousands, but has two papers,
and next Tuesday the News" makes its
debut as a semi-weekly, giving this
modern Athens four papers each week.
Success to them all, what we can't do in
ChebOygan can be done elsewhere, and
| if st. Ignace sustains her various news
paper enterprises we will freely give her
praise. Mackinaw City wants summer,
and believes in manifest destiny that
will make her grow. On the train home
we saw two distinguished gentlemen
who might have been taken for Wander
bilt and Gould, but they were named
Robinson and Blake, two popular Che
bOygan councilmen. Everybody talks
well of Cheboygan and her growth. A
Chicago merchant assured us ChebOygan
would be the town of the straits, we
know she noU is the town of the straits,
and hope she will go straight on. We
were glad to get home. No place like
ChebOygan.
