ONE of the most youthful couples
that were ever married in Kenton
county, Ky, says the Cincinnati En-
quirer, were joined in wedlock re-
Gently. The groom is George +. Kyle,
aged II years, and Lizzie May Hol-
lingshead, aged ID years. They were
married at the residence of the groom's
parents, near South Covington, in the
presence of few of their most in
innate friends. The bride is an orphan,
and, in order to obtain license to wed,
the groom's father qualified as her
guardian, and he then consented TO the
issuing of the license and gave his

The immense quantity of timber
employed in the construction of
the Fishery Exhibition building, at
New York City, has been rem
dered practically freproof by being
covered throughout with patent asbes-
tos paint. To show the extraordinary
capacity of this composition in resist
ing fire and as q non-conductor of heat,
two huge wooden packing-cases, open
on one side, were placed on the terrace
in the gardens. One of these cases
was coated with asbestos paint; the
other was an nGturel, and the interior
of both was filled with shavings liber-
ally soaked in petroleum. The shay
ings were then set on fire. The un-
painted case was speedily in blaze,
and ultimately caved in, leaving only a
heap of charred timbers. The fire in
the asbestos-painted case slowly burned
itself out, doing no damage beyond
slightly blistering the paint on the sur
rounding sides.

Cookery i'm Dixie.

We state positively that most Of the
cooks in the South to-day are ignorant
of the elementary principles of the
culinary art, and that they are either
too stubborn or too stupid to be in
sructed. A practical branch of cookery
taught by on expert would be valuable
addition to our public-school system.

DURING performance at one of the
variety theaters in Chicago, the audi
ence were treated to lively act not
down in the bills. One of the actors
had just finished ballad between
the verses of which he had made some
remark about "two glasses being better
than one," pointing to the leader of the
orchestra, who was under the influence
of liquor. This wielder of the baton
took offense at the ESTABLISHMENTS al
fusion to him, and as the former ceased
singing he leaped upon the stage and
hit him on the nose, knocking him
down. The fight was then continued
as rough and tumble affair, in which
the contestants pummeled each other
while rolling all around the stage,
cheered by the mob occupying the seats
in the auditorium. Stage hands sep
arated the painting, scratched and bleed
ing sluggers, and amid disappointed
bowls from the gang in front dragged
them out of sight through different
exits.

The Cerinth Canal.

The contractors who are cutting the
canal through the Isthmus of Corinth
are confident that the work will be COM
pleted within four years. The canal
will be just four miles long and of the
same dimensions as that of Suez--namely
seventy-two feet wide and twenty-six
deep throughout at low water. Vessels
from the Adriatic ports will save 1876
miles and those from the Mediterran-
can ninety-fve miles by passing
through the canal, beside avoiding the
dangerous coast around Cape Matapan.

assent to the marriage. The combined
ages of the twain is only . few years
more than the lawful matrimonial ago
in the grand old commonwealth. The
bride is not voluptuous-looking girl,
and in fact resembled o child that had
not passed the spanking age, and the
groom is not much her superior in this
respect. The bri.e was modestly and
neatly attireG, and resembled little
girl that was dressing for her first at
tendance at children's party. The
twain were evidently quite fond of each
other. There was none of that style Of
love there is generally displayed at q
wedding, and when the minister pro-
nounced them man and wife they faced
each other for q moment and suddenly
the childish groom bashfully embraced
his diminutive bride. 1t was rather
strange sight, and looked more like o
children's mock marriage than a solemn
reality. The couple are not wealthy,
and their parents are only in ordinary
financial circumstances.
