= The marriage of Miss Eta Ross
and Vincent Norwattry, of Springfield,
Ohio, took place in that city Saturday
evening. The couple were married six
or eight years ago, when both were young,
and quarrel caused separation and a
divorce. Since then Mr.. Norwattry has
taken full course in the art school at
Munich, and was graduated with high
honors. Miss Ross has also become an
elocutionist, and has studied for the
stage. Since their first marriage his
father and her mother have died. The
death of the latter leaves her in posses
sion of snug fortune, consisting of real
estate in Springfield, valued at about
$4,000.

stgnor BrignolI's Vanity.


 ''Brignoli was the vainest man l ever knew" sad veteran stage manager, who has known all the brightest stars of the op- cratic Armament for a quarter of century. s1His last appearance in this city occurred, l believe, in 1880, at the Academy of Music, and he then sang only once-Edgardo to the Lucia of MIIe Valleria. He was at the height of his glory when the Academy opened in 1858. and he received not less than $1 ,000 a month for his services, which were highly prized by managers. because BrignoH was the idol of fashionable society," Young girls adored him and even matrons looked upon him with seft-eyed wonder and thought it no weakness to send flowers to his rooms. He was, however, the most selfish of men and never committed any excesses. He permitted ladies to admire him, but his devotion to the proudest and most beautiful of them never took him out of doors on wet night to the peril of his voice. His own person was more in his thoughts than the caresses of a woman. His inordinate vanity taught him to treat the whole sex as his natural subjects and not to make particular victims of any of its mem bers, He would probably have found many had he looked for them" Brignoli spent an hour in changing his costume and two hours in making toilet. Many prima donna has had to wait for his hair to be arranged. He never permitted a barbers hand to touch his head, but invariably dressed his curling locks himself Prof. Barili, who came to the United States with him in 1855, says: Brig noli could not act, and came out of the most ilnpassionate scenes in opera with placid face and unruffied laces. I remember on one occasion Gazzaniga, who was very passionate, threw her arms around him in a scene when it was the stage business to do so with such vehemence as to disarrange his hair. He flew into passion and ended by stamping off the stage J

TWO AND A HALF PER CENT.

TWO AND A HALF PER CENT.
 The failure of the plan for the voluntary conversion of the English per cent. consols into stocks bearing 3 1-2 per cent. is a nota- ble thing. The whole amount of 3s offered for conversion was only about e21 ,650, 900, of which nearly 12,000,000 was held by public departments, so that private holders offered rather less than e9, 700, 900. The failure of the scheme is aseribed by the gov ernment to the disinclination of the bankers to accept reduction in the return on their permanent investments in consols and in the profits of temporary investments. This looks reasonable, but the bankers have diff ferent explanation. Hitherto the extent of the market for 3s and the well understood position of that great mass of stock has made their sale upon the instant always easy, so that reserves could be thrown into this form with the certainty of immediate conversion into cash in case of need. The bankers feared, however, or professed to fear, that by conversion into stock of more limited amount like the 2 1-2 per cents. their reserve would be made less easily convertible and less efficient. And their refusal to act had great influence in holding back their clients. It is stated, in fact, that the bank CTS made no secret of their concerted action on the subject and that this had great influ- ence on the private holders.
 Notwithstanding the setback which the scheme has received, it is stated that the government is satisfied that England can now borrow at less than per cent. and that the opportunity should be used to reduce the burden of interest. It is intimated that Par lament will be asked to sanction a compul- sorry conversion, by the calling for redemp- tion of 3 per cents. to such extent as can be provided for by new loans at lower rate. This course is urged by the Times and by the Economist On the other hand, the Sat urday Review maintains that the govern ment may be able to borrow small amounts at 215 per cont, but not large ones, and that the best course would be to postpone action for the present. The redemption of tho 3s is going on rapidly by the sinking fund schemes set in operation in the last few fall more; and so the Saturday Review thinks that with patience, in the course of a few years, the time may come when conver- sion can be effected easily and naturally.
 Two and a half per cent. is very small in terest, but it is possible that the Englishmen may yet have to be satisfied with it. If the proposed change is to be made better time could hardly be found than the present The money market is very sEeasy.''

As to the other matter the Bulletin says: "The managers of the exposition have made such admirable arrangements in the interests of the expected guests that there is no longer doubt of providing for all who come. Furthermore, those arrangements contemplate the absolute protection against unfairness and e1tortion of all who avail themselves of the Exposition Bureau of In formation and Accommodation.

 this interesting information: The house cat is one of the most valuable of fur bearing animals, and when they disappear from the back fences they often find their way to the furrier. It is an actual fact that in 1882 over 200, 900 house cats were used by the fur trade. Black, white, maltese and tor toise-shell skins are most in demand, and are made into Things. As for skunks, 350, 900 were used in this country last season. They come from Ohio and New York princi- pally, and, as in pursuit of the tiger and lion, the bravest men are required.
 Writing to the Pal1 Mall Gazette, the gen. eral secretary of the Young Mems Christian association of London remarks that it is not given to many men to see during their life time society, of which they are the foun- ders, extending it's influence and operations throughout the world. This is, however, the happy lot of MT. George Williams, who commenced the work of the association one evening in October, 1844, just forty years ago, by convening meeting of few young men in small hired room. There are now 2,500 Young Mems Christian associations scattered throughout the world, all complete and independent in themselves, yet all linked together, first into national unions, and then into one great international union, with president and secretary and central offices in Geneva.
 General Joe Johnston said to newspaper man who asked him about the origin of the Confederate battle flag: At the battle of Manassas you northerners call it Bull Run tho stars and bars proved 8 failure because they were so much like the Union colors In- deed, both armies mistook their enemies for friends and vice versa. After the battle I had resolved to discard this flag, and called 1 for each regiment to procure it's State colors This they were not able to do, and I asked the army for new designs Among those presented one by General BeauIegard was chosen, and altered this only in making it square instead of oblong. This flag was af- terward adopted by the Confederate armies
 It was a Greek cross of blue on a red field, with white stars on the blue bars. This flag
 was designed by Colonel Walton of Louisi-
 ana, and presented to General Beauregard. The Philadelphia telegraph and telephone
