The quaint old Quaker whose name
has given title to the second common
wealth in the Union, left among the
relics of his wisdom, the terse advice
"Neyer marry but for love, but see
that thou lowest what is lovely" This
cogent command was most fully and
strictly obeyed by the young gentle
man who yesterday morning, as
the town clock struck 8, led
to the altar one of the most
fascinating and attractive of the many
fascinating and attractive daughters
Of this section of our state. The
groom, Mr.. James G. Blanks, of Lock
hart, is young man of fine address,
engaging qualities and sterling busi-
ness attachments. His bride was Miss
Annie HolIingsworth, of Troy, in
Bell county, but extensively known
in Austin and Waco, and the
center of devoted circle of
friends throughout Central and West
ern Texas. Her beauty and her
accomplishments have been the pride
and pleasure of happy household,
and the charm of her companionship
has cheered the hearts and excited the
affection of Il multitude of admirers,
whose benisons were yesterday in
voked upon her head with half a sigh
for the past and many a hope for the
future" The ceremony was per-
formed at the Christian church by Rev.
VI. d. Darlington, and large crowd
witnessed the impressive and appro-
pirate rite. The attending couples
whose presence gave courage and
sanction to the welded pair were Miss
Lillian Elgin. of Houston, and Mr..
Mcdowell, of Lockhart; Miss Jennie
BantOn, of Waco, and Mr.. Dudley q.
Wooten, of Austin; Miss Birdie Car
rington, of Austin, and Mr.. John d.
Templeton, of Fort Worth; Miss Kate
Norton, of Austin, and Mr.. Har-
wood, of Gonzales.
After the wedding the party and
numerous invited guests attended
reception at the Millett mansion,
where an elegant and bountiful lunch
to the bride were many, costly and ap-
propriate, and when the party de-
parted on the 11:20 train for st.
Louis and Louisville, the verdict
Cf all who had witnessed their bridae
was one of joyous and generous APP
proval. Glad hearts lid them be glad,
fond hopes surround them with bene-
dictions, and faithful friends will
watch with tender solicitude their
journey along the paths made sacred
by every sacrament Of religion, by
every sentiment of faith, and by every
holy tie and aspiration known to hu-

LAND DEPARTMENT.

The fees of the general land Office
for the month ending September 30,
amounted to the handsome sum OF
$6400, being an increase over those of
last month, which were unusually
large. These facts show that the
business of the Office is rapidly in
creasing, and indicates fine demand
for lands in this state. Applications
for patents come from all parts of the

SOUTHERN SOCIETY DURING THE
CIVIL WAR.

It was at this period of the war that
the celebrated Starvation Club, so famous
in Rheims nd, was instituted. This club
was so organized as to meet almost entire
" the demand for entertaining the SOL
diers. 1t met weekly at private resldenc-
es. The membership included almost
every young lady and young married lady
of good position mot in deep mourning)
in the city. No cards were issued at all,
but it was understood that every member
of the club could extend an invitation to
any stranger or soldier of her acquaint-
ance visiting the city The club night
was as we'll known to soldiers in camp,
and within so or 100 miles of Richmond
as to the occupants OF the city, and If
furlough of onl y few days was obtain
ed it was apt to include the club night,
and SO to afford an opportunity to meet a
host of friends at once under pleasant
and genial circumstances. AS the name
implies, the parties were wholly innocent
of any refreshment whatever, except
| dancing and cold water. "Ritterhouse,"
man milliner on Broad street, supplied
the music from to II clock, which was
paid for by the ladies' The gas was
| lighted when the party was to be given

and that was all the preparation.

were in the field, our tanners quite brok

impossible to bring into the lines even an
approximate supply for the army and the
people.

those falling into improper habits than by the

Railway Accommoda

In these days when il IS fashionable to
complain OF corporations as purely selfish,
it is greatly TO the credit of the Pennsylvs.
MIA Rsllroad Company, that It Is coostsnt-
ly furnishing increased facilities for the
accommodation of the travelling public.
Recently they have commenced running a
through Pullman SleBmg Coach from
Washington and BALTIMORE to Chicago on
their Pacific Express, which leaves Wash
ing every day in the year at 80 p. m,,
and Baltimore H. p. m. The arriving
time at Chicago is 90 o'clock the second
morning. The portion of the trsIn which
starts from Washington joins at Harris
burg with the section from New York and
Philadelphia on which there Is hotel Car.
This arrangement gives passengers from
Baltimore and Washington Just the same
eating facilities as enjoyed by those from
New York. as the first meal en- route is
breakfast on the first morning, after the
two sections have become one tram.
On their West jersey connection, also,
they arranged for placing, since February
18th, through passenger car between
New York and Jersey City as follows:
Leave Brooklyn 1880 noon; New York,
Loo p. m, and arrive at Atlantic City
(via Trenton snd Camdep) 6:47 p. m.
Leave Atlantic City at 7:25 a. m, arrive
al New York, 11:40 noon; Brooklyn 1890
noon. The car will not be ruu IN either
direction On Sundays.
The latter will furnish not only desirable
facilities for the citizens Of New York and
northern New jersey, but will enable sum-
mer visitors to New York city on business
to take run down to the CITY by the

ter" Charles V, had two notices.
"Nondum" and Plus ultra" while the
motto of Ferdinand I, the founder of

Macmillan III and. passing over those
of Rudolph III and two or three other
sovereigns, that of Charles VI, the

strength and unity in the dual empire
