A few evenings since, at fashionable
church wedding in the suburbs. brief
and pointed conversation occurred pre-

our oldest, best known and most expe-
rienced organists and and an :'average
young man." the latter of whom, MAX
ing his appearance probably for the first
time as usher, felt the dignity of his po-
sition to the fullest extent. It may be
proper to state that our friend, the or
ganist, is favorably known in his pro-
fession as one free from ostentation and
particularly averse to all exhibitions of
airiness, and, from his musical adapti-
bility to church wedding occasions, his
professional services have been fire.

YOU about the order of music.
Organist Tin surprise)--I beg pardon.
What did I understand you to say?
Usher-I want to tell you about the
music. I am the master of ceremonies.
Organist-Ah Indeed!
Usher-Yes, I want to give you in
struction about the music.
Organist-But I have my instruc-
tons.
Usher Why, when did you get
them?

The Mason, Cylinder Gin.

The vast superiority of the Mason
Cylinder Cotton Gin over the ordinary
saw-gin, having been satisfactorily estab'
lished by careful and repeated tests, a
meeting of gentlemen interested in the
patents covering the invention was held
yesterday at the Office of Messrs. Braw-
ley g. Barnwell, Broad street. A com.
pany was organized under the title of
'Tbe Mason Cotton Gin Cylinder Com
pany," and the following directors were
chosen: Messrs. G. r. Mason, Jr., of
Sumter; John r. London and W. L..
Roddey, of Rock Hill; j. K. Blackman,
James S. Murdoch, F. w. Dawson and
B. S. Riordan, of Charleston. Subse.
ouently Mr.. B. r. Riordan was chosen
president of the company, and Mr.. j. K.
Blackman secretary and treasurer.
A contract has been made with Messrs.
Pratt g. Whitney, of Hartford, Conn.,,
for the construction of a machine speci.
ally designed for the rapid manufacture,
by automatic action, of the perforated
metallic plates which are 10 form the
working surface of the cylinders. This
machine is expected to be ready in few
weeks. Meantime the company will
proceed to establish, in every County of
the Cotton Belt, agencies having the ex-
elusive privilege of placing the Mason
cylinders in old gins, the saws and ribs
of which are worn out or damaged. The
agents will not have the right to manu-
facture the cylinders, but they will be
the ONLY source through which the plan
ters of their respective Counties can get
cylinders for use in old gins. The agents
will purchase their cylinders either from
the company direct or from any of the
gin manufacturers licensed by the com.
pany to make the gins upon q royalty.
The prices at which county agencies will
be sold are to be based upon the average
annual yield of cotton in each County.
The gin manufacturers licensed by the
company will, of course, have the right
to sell new gins in any markets. The
company will make every effort to place
the cylinder gin on the market with as
little delay as possible, and they are con.
fident that long before the close of the
cotton season the Mason Cylinder Cotton
Gin will be found in every section of the
Cotton Belt. Patents Tor the cylinder
gin have been applied for in every foreign
country where cotton is grown or cotton
machinery made, and experienced GIN
ners predict that the cylinder will every
where supersede the use Of the danger
Gus and unsatisfactory saw gins within
the next year or two.-Ne'cs and Courier.

Blaine, evidently bis own brother and
his wife's sister. In his answer be gives
the name of no Minister, thus attempt.
ing to prove this most important fact by
members of the family, and not even
giving the name of the Clergyman. In
his answer as to the last ceremony, hesays
the witnesses were John V. Lemoyne
and David Bell, witnesses who were not
interested parties. Thus he makes the
first marriage, which is the most import
ant one for him to establish beyond q
doubt, depend upon family testimony.
This, however, is not the weakest point
in Mr.. Blaine's defense. If he had
married Miss Stauwood in 1850 secretly
at Millersburg because he expected to 60
to Pennsylvania and be absent for an in
definite time, as be says, when he re-
turned to Millersburg why did he live in
the same place with her until 1851 before
acknowledging the marriagef If there
was reason to keep the marriage secret
while he was necessarily absent, what
was the reason to do so when be returned
to the same village with her. 1t was not
natural for him to have acted thus, and
his plea strikes us as both lame and in
credible. Mr.. Blaine certainly will not
have any sympathy, so far as he is con.
cerned. 1t was cruel and unmanly in
any newspaper to have attacked Mr.
Blaine in a manner to humiliate and
mortify Mrs. Blaine personally. She
will doubtless have unlimited sympathy
and charity extended to her in all the
developments of this celebrated case, but
in any view that may be taken of it, Mr..
Blaine can only be censured. His own
version makes his conduct before the
last marriage decidedly crooked and un.
certain.
