A Sweet Wedding.

The sweetest wedding on record is
one which occurred near Macon, Ca,
two or three weeks ago., Mr.. Sinclair,
son of wealthy Louisiana planter, met
Miss Lizzie Jones at a candy-pulling
party, given by one of their mutual
friends. Miss Lizzie was q blonde,
beautiful and eighteen; Mr.. Sinclair,
young and susceptible, excessively sus-
eeptible, indeed, as matters turned out.
He was charmed with the young lady.
and was liberal with taffy. The. object
of his admiration was not averse to
taffy. but took all he gave with return
in kind. Before the close of the even
ing festivities, Mr.. Sinclair asked Miss
Lizzie to marry him. which she prompt
ly agreed to do then and there. With
both hands full of candy, they stood up
and were married by a minister who
CHANGED to be present. After tour of
"A few days the pair returned to the
brides home for a visit previous to 90
ing to New Orleans to live. Here Mr..
Sinclair met his wife's younger sister
for the first time and discovered that
she was his affinity. She was more
beautiful and more blonde than the
other, and the sweetness of the molas-
wedding cloyed upon the
young husband as he realized this fate
full fact. Unfortunately the Younger
girl was not deceased wife's sister. but
Mr.. Sinclair did not permit this circum-
stance to stand in hisway, but exercised
his Establishments so successfully that
the sister eloped with him last week.
Friends of the two wives have gone
cunning for the too-fascinating Louisi
ana youth, and when they find him he
will not be treated to taffy.- Cor. Gin

Some Interesting Facts About Our Ear
Hest Ancestors.

At the meeting of the Royal Society,
held last night, the venerable Professor
Owen read a paper which cannot fail
to cause great interest The paper on
a portion "of human skeleton from q
pleistocene (pal@lithic) bed, Tilbury,
Essex deals with nearly complete
figure which has been discovered dur
ing the excavations of docks now in
progress at Tilbury fort, and at depth
of nearly thirty-two feet from the pres
ent surface. It consists of consider
able portion of human skeleton, the
parts of which are determined and de-
scribed The differences deduced are
that they were from a somewhat aged
male of great muscular strength, and
such differences as to food as might be
drawn from the worn crowns of the
teeth in use at his demise are given. A
chemical analysis of the bones is added
by DIR. Walter Flight, F. r. S., of the
laboratory department in the British
Musem. A section of the several strata
dug through before arriving at the bed
is appended. This section determined
the man to have lived at the so-called
"Paleolithic period The author ac-
knowledged his Indebtedness to Colonel
Du Plat Taylor for the transmission
of the skeleton, with a notifica-
ton of his discovery in a letter of
1st October, 1883; also to Mr.. Donald
Baynes, the engineer of the dock works,
who transmitted a section of the strata.
The bones consist, among others, of
the frontal and part of the occipital,
three teeth, incisors and canine; the
masticating teeth had been used away
and were gone and the cavities were
filed up, the femurs and shafts of the
tibia. The pelvis, which fiint-imple-
ment collectors have especially been in
the habit of looking for, was
entirely broken to pieces during the
digging, and the skull was also frac-
tured. The density of the bone was
higher than that of the fresh bone, and
could readily be pounded to perfect
dust, point which he considered indi-
Gated a great change. Analysis showed
it to be soluble to the extent of eighty
six per cent, consisting of lime, phos-
phate and carbonate. His forehead was
low and narrow, and the frontal sinuses
were prominent, in which respect he
bore marked resemblance with the
skull of what has, by common consent,
come to be known everywhere as the
Neanderthal man A remarkable char
acter is that presented by the glsttens
a11GTsntIs, which was so considerably
developed that he must have been a
man who was capable of bearing great
weight and Of great muscular power.
The bed everything theremains consists,
counting downward, of clay, mud and
peat; peat, mud, peat and sand; at the
bottom of the mud, or rather at the be-
ginning of the sand, was the point
where the remains were found. Lon.
