A piquant marriage has just taken
place at Atlanta, Ga Four years
ago a young Swiss arrived there, and,
thriving in business, he sent for a
young woman he loved and
who resided in Switzerland. She
came, but at the marriage ceremony
she was unable to make responses,
because she did not understand a
word of English. On tho other
hand, the minister did not under
stand word of her native language.
The difficulty was solved by the
bridegroom, who acquainted with
English and the languages of Swift
erland, interpreted the responses,
and everything proceeded happily.
1t is not often that the groom has
this privilege. He has generally
quite enough to do to answer for
himself instead of answering for his
wife-or for the lady, rather, who is
in process of becoming his wife. 1t
is said that on the occasion referred
to the ladies present sympathized
with the bride. Why so! They
should rather have reioiced with her.
She has husband who can tell her
in two languages that he loves her.
while she can reply only in one
New York Evening Telegram.
J. Merrill Linn, of Lewisburg, I'm
ion county, has been travelling in the
West this season, and writing of
what he saw, for the Lewisburg
Chronicle By mistake, while in Mis-
souri,, he got off the cars at Rolla, 10
miles from where he wanted to CO.
To get himself right ~ to the peo-
pie he WAS looking for, he went to
the Court House, to find the clerk of
the court, and this is what he SAYS of
the appearance Of the place of Rolla
Justice: The court room was about
us large as the LewisbIrg bar, with
here and there a patch of cocoa mat
ting, torn and dilapidatea, with con
centrated spittle OF ten years, in it,
sending up an efliuvium in that hot,
sultry afternoon, that reminded me
of the scent of the last days of cocoa
in our Court House, only little e1-
aggerated. The smell was faraifiar.
On circular wooden bench sat the
twelve juryrnan, all in their shirt
sleeves, an average Of one collar in
ten, lank, lantern-jawed and lean
not one having flesh enough for a
cushion-lounging in all sorts of
ways-as if it was hard, hot and
hurt-all firing away vigorously at a
couple of spittoons in front of them,
listening to young man explaining
the probabilities of this or that being
true. Behind bench, like one OF
the old lecture-room stands, sat the
Judge, a long bearded young man,
in his shirt sleeves, with his legs up
over the top of the Bench. 1 took it
all in with hasty glance.
