The Presidents message takes up so
much of our space this morning that local
matter is necessarily condensed. The mess
age, however, will be read with interest,
even though it is as dull as such documents
always are. It is noticeable that the presi-
dent does not even hint at the tariff ques-
ton, which in the election.of Mr.. Carlyle as
speaker of the house, has received fore
most place before that body.
For the second time the Lizzie May
Ulmer troupe has been here aud gone
again, it met, as before, with an unfavor-
able circumstance, this time in the form of
very ugly weather, which caused it to have
only moderately good house last night
when it ought to have had packed one.
The performance was again all that could
have been desired. Lizzie is most charm
ing little actress, grasps thoroughly the
spirit of her part and acts it with a nat
ural ease that never fails to captivate the
audience. She is also we'll supported in
every part. She deserves rousing houses
wherever she may 60.
In response to the many invitations is

we're visited by quite number of people
for several hours last night. te participate
IN the reception of the railroad men of the
city. The arrangements for the affair had
been given in charge of competent COM
mittee headed by Rector Davenport, and
the preparations were most complete. An
interesting literary programme was carried
out, after which several hours were spent in
becoming mutually acquainted and ex-
changing courtesies, pleasantries and
thoughts, and in partaklng of the refresh
ments provided for the occasion. The af-
fair was most pleasant one throughout,
and will not fail to produce the desired ef-
feet. 1t will bear frequent repetition.
For several days back people on the
streets have revolved an obnoxious morsel
of news under their tongues, which, in
some communities less sensitive than this
in such things, would absorb public inter
est for week and serve to fill up columns
Of newspaper space. We refer to an at
tempt of we'll known butcher in the city,
one of the oldest in the business aud one of
the most generally known, to marry Annie
Bazzel, the mistress Of the castle of in
fanny at the corner of Fifth street and
Commercial avenue, last Saturday. He
went to the house little under the infu-
ence, and in the presence of parcel Of the
nymphs boldly popped the momentous
question. Annie Is no longer giddy
young girl; she had probably sheen there"
several times before, and was therefore not
bit confused, though taken by surprise,
as the courtship, if any, had been very
short. She regarded the proposition as q
joke, and laughingly answered "yes." 1t
seems, however, that the "srdent lover"
was in deep earnest all the time. he went
forthwith to County Clerk Humm, pro-
CURED marriage license, and returned to
the castle to bring forth the bride
and conduct her before some one author
lied by law to tic the connubial knot. But
this time the intended bride did not treat
the. matter so lightly, in fact she was
stunned and tried to explain that, so far as
she was concerned, the whole matter was q
Joke. Her assurances we're lost, however,
upon her woud-be husband, and when he
found his pleadings were all in vain, he
became angry; so did she-both scolded
and threatened huently, loudly, eloquently.
She wouldn't have him for dog pelter,
much less for her "lord and MASTER" he
was enragsd, and his tongue ratified like a
steam reaper, sending forth long string of
unlntelligible abuse and threats, conclud-
ing with the assurance that he would
bring suit for breach ofpromiss of marriage
against the venerable daughter of folly, fix
| ing the money value of his cruelty lacerated
feelings at round. $4,000. Thus the mat
ter stood last evening and it may be that a
| little cooling off will alter the determination
