Misses Annie Nugent and Addie Myers, and
Master Jonie Hamilton, as Cupid; Mr.
Aleck virden and Miss Jennie Buck, DR.. /.
B. Rembert and Miss Ruth Sullivan, the
Bride and Groom. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. VIM. Short, rector Of the
church. Mr.. E. yirden gave away the
bride. We did not notice who presided at
the organ, but the Wedding March was
played with fine effect. The happy couple
have the best wishes OF their hosts Of
friends for all the happiness incident to

Sherman Subcommittee

A Washington Critic reporter asked
Senator George what foundation there
was for the report that the sub-commit-
tee to investigate the alleged outrages at
Copiah feared personal injury if it held
its meeting in that place and the Sena-
tor replied:
None at all. am not at liberty to re-
peat a private conversation had with a
Senator who is a member of the MAORI
ty of that committee; but | can tell you
that the committee apprehended no dan
ger either to themselves or to any one
connected with them. The majority Of
the committee concluded to hold its
meeting in New Orleans at the instance
of political friends, who made, or endeav-
ored to make them believe that they
could get more out of the witnesses in
New Orleans. In other words, that the
witnesses would have less scruple in
swearing falsely in New Orleans than
they would iu Copiah, not that the com.
mittee want false testimony, but the in
stigators of this investigation do. No
body knows better than those who were
instrumental in getting up this investi-
cation that there was nothing in the
charges. If the Republicans could once
get it out of their hands that the colored
people were afraid of the white people
in the South and were afraid to vote fol
whom they pleased, you would hear Of
no more such foolshness. No sir. ThiI
investigation will be beneficial to US
Senator Hoar is On honest man and will
give fair report of the facts. Tha
done and we have no fears.

A Furniture Factory in Jackson.

large building has lately been erected
by E. Bloom, on the street back Of his old
store, which is to be devoted to the exclu-
sive manufacture Of furniture. A reporter
of The CLARION visited the establishment
last Saturday and found a number OF the
latest patented machines to be used in the
production of furniture, already up and
being tested. There is shaper for head
board work which makes the beveled edges
on any shaped headboard; reuter- for
putting the irons on the beadsteads; the
usual and necessary scroll saw; lathe
which turns posts of any design and does
all the rosette and scroll work, most use
full machine.
A jointing machine for making the NOR
tees, cut-of and rip-saw and sand
papering machine which finishes off and
polishes the work turned out and leaves
the surface ready for the varnish without
any further process.
The absence of chips and sawdust is a
noticeable feature of the establishment.
This is owing to the presence of blower,
known as the exhaust suction blower. 1t
il encased in wooden box not mere than
three feet in diameter, from which extend
spouts under the flooring which connect
with all the foregoing mentioned machines,
| from which the chips and sawdust drops,
and after being drawn into the box by sue
ton are blown through another long spout
outside of the building.

kind in the South, and is the invention OF
Mr.. W. B. Beard, of Indiana, who has con-
troll of this new investment of Mr.. Blooms.
Safes, bedsteads and tables are to Q
manufactured, and more machines than
those already described are now on their
way here. and Mr.. Beard hopes to have
them in operation in about twenty days
time. The establishment is we'll worth a

A REMARKABLE CASE.
A Man Once White Becomes IS Dark
as g Kegro-A Medical Mystery.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
Isaac Maddy was a man aged thirty
one years, highly respectable citizen
Of Middletown, Ind. About eleven
months ago Mr. Maddy became afflicted
with cancer on his breast, and he has
been troubled with it ever since. About
FIVE months ago, however, he began TO
turn dark, until inside Of three months
he became as dark as a negro, and, in
deed, would not have been suspected Of
being white man save by those who
knew his history and family, the
purity of the latter being so well known
as to preclude all possibility of natural
causes. His hair is straight and the
whites of his eyes are IF pearly white
the only two characteristics, save the
pure Caucasian features, which make
him differ from the veriest negro. The
face, neck, legs and arms-and, in fact,
the entire body--are a deep bronze
or brown, and peculiarly so in
those portions particularly mark
ed in the race named. No ply.

Why the nightingale Sings at
Night.

The nigtingale's habit of singing at night,
and the imaginary sadness of its songs, are
accounted for by legend to the effect that
in ancient days the nightingale. and blind
worm had only one eye apiece. The bird
borrowed the reptiles eye in order to 60
with two to feast, and afterwards refused
TO restore it. The blindworm vowed ven
geance on its perfduous friend. Conse-
euently the nightingale is afraid to go to
sleep at night lest the blindworm should
attack it in its slumber, and in order to keep
itself awake it sings, resting its breast
against thorn, the pain caused by which
renders its singing sad.
