THE TRANSMISSION OF EMOTIONS

The wife of Arthur Severn, the distin-
guished landscape painter, woke at O'Clock
with start, feeling a hard blow on the
mouth, and with distinct sense of being
cut and bleeding ON the under lip. She

mouth as she sat up in bed, and was sur
prised on taking it away to find that it was
not bleeding. She concluded she had been

A CITY WITHOUT A CAT.

One of the queerest Of the many queer
things about this here mining camp" as
most of the natives of Leadville call 1t, Is
that in all the length and breadth thereof
there lives not single cat. Cats have been
imported here by the hundreds and In all
varieties of color, breeding and size, but
not one has ever survived the second week
of residence. The midnight serenade, the
back yard clawing contest and bootjaok act
are alike unknown to the Leadvillian and
his nightly slumber is sound and sweet-a
calm and undisturbed respose. The health
lest. sleekest cat in st. Louis If brought to
Leadyille, would lose all interest in life the
moment 1t reached here, and, after moping
around in sickly and disconsolate way for
a few days, would resignedly have ut and
give up the ghost. A saloonkeeper on State
street brought q big, strong Maltese from
Denver few weeks ago, hoping the animal
would survive the fits long enough to be-
come acclimated, but was no use. The cat
had fit the first day, two or three the sec
ond, and then the number Of attacks in
creased in geomstrical progression until,

more fits than cat and the cat had to give

However, as there are no rats or mice in

or die. The thin atmosphere at this altitude

Annie Patterson, a charming Scotch lassie,
from Aberdeen, and Andrew Williams, also
from the canny country, were made man
and wife at Simmons Miners Arms Hotel,
Whitehall and Grand streets. The Rev.
Isaac Mcclure, rector of the Seaman's So
ciety, performed the ceremony. The spice
of romance attaching to this wedding is in
the fact that great difficulties have been
placed in the way of the young couples as
pirations. The handsome Annie is now in
her twenty-third year, and Williams is in his
twenty-seventh. Eight years ago they be-
came acquainted, when Andrews earnings
were small. After five years of courtship
i'll the old country style, he found that he
could not support n wife. He came to the
United States to make his fortune. This
was three years ago. At that time Annie
was working in large millinery establish
ment in her native town. Andrew had
little money, and taking the advice of M
eminent American he went West and set
tied in Hazelton, Buchanan county, Iowa.
He prospered, and now owns large tract
of land there Last Thursday he reached
New York, and took up his abode at tho
hotel named. On Monday, accompanied by
Mr.. Hamilton, the proprietor of the hotel,
Williams went to the Guion Line " dock,
and there met his afiianeed. The meeting,
after three years separation was joyful
one. Preparations were at once made for
the ceremony, but as Rev. Mr.. Mcclure was
absent the affair was postponed until last
night
The large room of the Miners Arms Hotel
is fitted up so that by the removal of what
appears TO be the front Of sideboard, a
small altar is disclosed. There have been
over one hundred weddings performed here,
the house being ono Of the best known Eng.
lish resorts in the city.
Mr. Hamilton, as best man, obtained the
drst kiss, and general jolihcation followed.
At 8 o'clock next morning the couple depart
ed by the Eric railroad for their Western
home.

PEN-PiCTURE OF VANDERBILT.


One of the quietest and most unostenta-
tious of all the visitors at Saratoga, is Will
liam III. Vanderbilt, the richest man in the
world. Those who know of him only by
the cartoons of illustrated papers, can have
no just conception of the manner Of man
he really is. You might pass and repass
him Tor days and weeks in the hotel, with
out noting anything in either his dress or
manners to distinguish him from the hun
dreds of other sensible, well-behaved gen
tlemen who quietly enjoy Saratoga. There
is nothing in his appearance that is at all
striking, and no would readily pass for o
quiet merchant or banker or business man,
who is content to attend to his own affairs
without demanding or desiring recognition
from the passing world. His dress is gen.
teelly plain, his manner always unobtrusive
but never unapproachable, and he is gen
orally to be be seen on the yerandah morn
ing and evening with afew friends about him,
and he is the most modest of the circle. His
face is not strong one, but it fails to pre-
sent the sinister and grasping features SC
often pictured in the caricatures to which
he has been exposed by his pre-eminence in
the money world.

AN EXPERIENCE OF WEDDINGS.
Blunders That Are Made by the Bride and
Groom.


Generally speaking marriages pass of
very smoothly and frequently with very
pretty effects. The brides are credited with
careful study and perusal of the service
for many days beforehand. Sometimes
there has been rehearsal. I have known
brides, when the grooms have failed to
make the proper responses, prompt them
Immediately and with the greatest facility
The most common mistake of the bride is to
take OF only one of her gloves, whereas
both hands are brought into requisition in
the service. As for the men, they commit
all kinds of blunders and bunglings. I
have known man at that very nervous and
trying moment follow clergyman within
the communion rails and prepare to take o
place opposite him. have known man,
when minister stretched out his hand to
unite those of the couple, take it vigorously
in his own and give it hearty shake.
Sometimes more serious difficulties occur.
Some ladies have had an almost unconquer-
able reluctance to use the word "obey -
one or two, if their own statements are TO
be accepted, have ingeniously constructed
the word "nobey." The word, however,
has still to be formally admitted into the
language There was one girl, who was
being married by very kindly old clergy
man, who absolutely refused to utter the
word LOBBY" The minister suggested that
if she were unwilling to utter the word
aloud she could whisper it to him but the
young lady refused to accept even this kind
of compromise. Further, however, than this
the clergyman refused to accommodate her !;
but when he was forced to dismiss them all
without proceeding any further the recalci-
trant young person consented to "obey."
The difficulty, however, is not always
made on the side of the lady. On one occa-
sion the bridegroom wished to deliver lit
tie Grafton qualifying his vow and describ-
ing in what sense and to what extent he was
using the words of the formula. He was, of
course given to understand that nothing of
this kind could be permitted. There was
one man who accompanied the formula with
soto goce remarks which must have been
exceedingly disagreeable to the officiating
minister. He interpolated remarks after the
fashion of Burchell's Fudge!r " With
this ring thee wed that's superstition. !"
With my body thee worship, that's
dolatry." with all my worldly goods
thee endow; that's o lie." 1t is wonder
that such being was not conducted out Of
the church by the beadle. This puts one in
mind of an anecdote that is told Of a man
who was in his time a Cabinet Minister.
There was great discussion, on the ques-
ton whether man can marry ON three hun
bred year. " ALI I can say" said the great
man, /" is TINT when said, With all my
worldly goods thee endow,' SO far from
having three hundred pounds, question
whether, when all my debts were paid,
had three hundred pence" q Yes, my love-"
said his wife; 81 but then you had your
splendid intellect" 81 didn't endow You
with that, ma'am," sharply retorted the
right honorable husband. London Society.
