Hot Springs Sentinel.
In accordance with previous announce
ment and invitation few of the friends
of Mr.. and Mrs. G. r. Cooke assent led
at their hospitable residence, yesterday
evening, to witness the marrige ceremony
performed between Mr.. VIM. b. johnson
and their charming daughter Miss Mag
gle. The ceremony was performed by
Rev. Mr.. J. L. McKeehan, OF the Second
Presbyterian church, in beautiful and
impressive manner.
The bride looked everything becoming
beautiful young wife, and was dressed
to suit the momentous OCCASION Her
dress was OF white nuns yelling, trimmed
with Spanish g,lipure lace The groom
wore the conventional black with white
kid gloves and white hectic; and we must
say that he presented and looked happier
than if he had struck a million dollar sill,
yer mine. The bridesmaid was Miss
Kittie Foster, and the groomsman was
Mr.. W. II. Wilson, both of whom were
dressed for the occasion.
The bridal presents were numerous,
valuable and useful, and were: Silver
soup tureen, Messrs. w. Fl. Wilson and
g. Il. Stoks; silver water pitcher, goblet
and salver, six table and six teaspoons,
brides father; silver butter dish and
linen table cloth, Mrs. N. G. Foster;
silver castor, MIR. e. Newman; silver
syrup cup, Mrs J. F. Chichester, Sr !;
silver berry dish, Mr.. G. f. Foster; silver
pickle dish Mr.. and Mrs. E. Hogaboom;
silver pickle dish, Miss Kittie Foster,
beautiful picture frame, Miss Sadie
Foster; silver dreamer and sugar bowl,
Mr.. and Mrs G. w. Watson, six knives
and forks, Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. G. Hall, Of
Little Rock; silver spoon holder and
butter dish, Mrs. G. r. Cooke; fine vel-
vet rug, ----.---; SIX silver
forks and six dinner and six tea knives,
Mrs. s. A. Johnson.
After the ceremony was over the guests
were RECALLED with an elegant supper, at
which wit, but no wine flowed, which
was, to our mind, decided improve
ment on the usual suppers. Mr.. and
Mrs. Cooke were untiling in their efforts
to entertain their guests, and more
enjoyable affair it has never been our
good fortune to attend
In conclusion we wish the newly we'd
ded pair every happiness that can pos
sibly fall to those who walk upright
along the pathway Of life.

"POuring Oil Upon the Troubled
WaterS.''

1t has long been known to sailors and
acknowledged by scientists that the an
griest sea may be subdued by pouring
'oil upon the troubled waters" but the
great difficulty has been to discover a
method of application in the case of a
ship in distress. A London telegram Of
the 2nd inst, notes the arrival of n
schooner from New Foundland loaded
with coal oil that encountered fearful
storm during the trip but was saved
from disaster by towing bags of oil over
the stern thus preventing the waves
from breaking over her as she ran be-
fore the wind.
1t seems to us that plan can be de.
yised for the escape of oil about tho
water lines of vessel during storm,
that might save many good ship from
destruction.

Reducing Import Duties will In
crease the Revenue,

1t seems Incredible yet it is never
theless true, that almost every reduce
ton made in the Tariff-bill increases
the revenues of the Government
This seeming contradiction is easily
explained-our present Tariff was
adopted more in the interest of pro-
lection than revenue, hence many of
the schedules are prohibitive in their
effect. In other words there are
numerous cases where heavy duties
are at present levied and not cent
collected, for the reason that the duty
added to the cost of production Or
manufacture advances the price of
the article to such a figure as to make
its importation impracticable, so it
yields no revenue. BY reducing the
Tariff on such an article to the extent
of few cents ad-valOrem in the bill
now under consideration, it is enabled
to enter the American market, and
will hereafter contribute to the reve-
nues of the country.
In our opinion the effect of the new
taritf-if tariff bill shall be ''perfect-
ed" and passed this session-will be
to vastly increase the revenues of the
country, leaving us no recourse for
the relief of our plethoric Treasury,
but in such division of the surplus
treasure among the several States ac-
cording to the ratio of population, as
was consumated in accordance with
the plan of Henry Clay, in the young
er days of the Republic. This surplus
should be applied to the extinguish-
ment of the public debt, but we fear
that it will be very many years ere
such a popular pressure can be
brought to bear as will induce the
Government to cash her outstanding
bonds and thus extinguish the Ma
tional banks that are founded upon
them.

Tho North is thankful to recognize any
fairness in Southern elections. 1t is m
insignificant faction of the Republican,
party that desires to trade on Southern
outrages. Boston Advertiser.
We are very much obliged to the
.Adyertiser and its supporters for their
sympathy, but cannot refrain from
asserting that the elections IN the
South, since the Democratic party has
had control of them, have always been
fair and honest, and will continue to
be so regardless of the whims of the
''insignifcant faction of the Republi.
cans" or of any other faction. The
South tried several experiments in the
way of supporting Dent, and Greeley,
and other white-washed saints, when
the States were under Republican
rule and could never win, on account
of the rascality practiced at elections
by that party, and since the govern
ments have been reclaimed we are
content to do the best we can and
permit the balance of the world to do
the same. We are now steering our
own craft.

Cotton Seed Meal is far superior as

Cotton Seed Oil is the best grease for

Our Fertilizer is gaining more conf

those who have tried it are fully convinc-

it will pay the farmers well to use it in

These facts have been fully demon
strated, and the most skeptic will be con-
