world at large, that her name shall be
Antje Eilers, born at Phoebe, Lincoln
county, Nevada, on the 10th day of Octo-
Der, 1882, at o'clock A. NJ. Our only
wish shall be that her mind shall be free
from all undue influence and prejudices;
that she shall reason and choose her own
welfare hereafter. She owes us nothing,
but to love and respect us, as long as
We deserve it, as her parents. May she
be benefit to humanity, a credit to the
Stars and Stripes, and the spot on the
globe where she was born, on which she
may hereafter live. Hoping health and
wealth may never be wanting to her, and
that she may obey the laws of the land
she may live in; that she may grow up
and We, her parents, may be proud of
her. Ladies and gentlemen, in her
name, We thank you all for witnessing
this ceremony, and that this evening
may be pleasant memory to us ALL
After this, the manning ceremony
having been concluded, three of
the gentlemen present stepped to the
front and signed the paper read by Mr..
Campbell, as witnesses, and toast was
drank to the future happiness and pros
perity OF the child. The remainder of
the evening was spent in dancing. inter-
spersed with songs, and at half.past
