AWKWARD BRrDEGRooMs.
Women who Refused to "Obey" an
Men Who Make Scenes.

Men w no MAKE SCENES
Generally speaking, marriages pass off
very smoothly, says the London Truth,
and frequently with very pretty effects.
The brides are credited with a careful
study for many days beforehand. Some
times there has been a rehearsal. L have
known brides, when the grooms have
failed to make the proper responses,
prompt them Immediately and with the
greatest facility. The most common mis-
take of the bride is to take off 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. | have known

ment, follow clergyman within the COM
muniOn rails, and prepare to'take a place
opposite him. l have known man,
when the minister stretched out his hand
to unite those OF the couple, take 1t vigor-
Ously in his own and give it hearty
shake. Sometimes more serious difficult
ties occur. Some ladies have had an al
most uncOnquerable reluctance 10 use the
word ''obey;" one or two, if their own
statements are to be accepted, have ingeni-
GUS constructed the word ''nobey." The
word, however, has still to be formally adj
mitted into the language.
ried by very kindly old clergyman, who
absolutely refused to utter the word
''obey." The minister suggested that, if
she were unwilling to utter the word
aloud, she should whisper it to him; but
the young lady refused to accept even
this kind of compromise. Further, how
ever, than this the clergyman refused to
accommodate her; but when he was
forced to dismiss them all without pro-
f11Pf q
young person consented to ''obey." The
difficulty, however, is not always made on
the side of the lady. On one occasion the
bridegroom wished to deliver a little ora
ton qualifying his VOW, and describing in
what sense and to what extent he was
using the words of the formula. He was,
of course, given to understand that moth
ing of this kind could be permitted.
There was one man who accompanied
the formula with soto voce remarks,
which must have been exceedingly disa-
greeable to the officiating minister. He
interpOlated remarks after the fashion of

time was a Cabinet Minister. There was
a great discussion on the question wheth-

THE TOMB OF sAssACUs.
An Assertion that the Famous Indian
Chief was Probably Cremated.

An Assertion that the Famous Indian
Chief was Probably Cremated.
Judge Richard A. Wheeler, of Stoning-
ton, Conn, writes as follows to the New
Haven Register: 81 have read an article
in your paper Of this week, headed 'Plun-
dering the Tomb of Sassacus,' adding that
the remnant of the Pequot tribe of In
dams occupies a reservation of about 1, 900
acres at IndiantOWn, between Ledyard
and StOningtOn. On this land are the
sepulchres of the tribe. There are two
reservations occupied by remnants of the
PequOts; not between Ledyard and StO-
ningtOn, but one in North StoningtOn and
the other in Ledyard. The Ledyard Pc
UuOts are the descendants of the warriors
assigned to Uncas in the Hartford treaty
of 1857. The North StOnington Indians
descend from the warriors assigned by
said treaty to MiantOnOmah and Ningiret.
This remnant located themselves after the
Pequot war on both sides of MassatuXet
creek in Westerly, r. l., where they re-
manned until 1861, when they were driven
over PaWcatuck river into the town of
Stonington by the first planters of Mis-
quamicut. When in StOnington they
were located at several places, part at
Canset neck (now known as Palmer's
neck), another portion on COsatuc hill
and the rest of them under Catapeset at
Taugwonk. The English did not permit
them to hold and occupy these places un-
disturbed. Finally, in 1888, a committee
was appointed by the general court to
provide for them a permanent place of
abode. In pursuance of this authority
the committee purchased OH. Wheeler
the North StOningtOn reservation. The
deed bears date May "a, 1858. The rem
nant signed to Uncas would not submit
to his authority, and after few years
most of them cOngregatec NOank in the
town of GrotOn. Cassd mon, their
nominal chief, petitiOned thegeneral court
for more land, which was granted them
in 1865 at MashantuXet, which is now the
Ledyard reservation. Doubtless these
reservations are in some shape their sep
ulchres, but that Sassacus was ever buried
there has no foundation in fact. When
Capt. Mason stOrmed and took the PequOt
fort in 1887, Sassacus was not there. He
was at Weinshanks, anoth rfortress some
two miles away. He made his escape and
fed to the Mohawks for protection. HaV-
ing been previously at variance with them,
they took advantage of his situation and
beheaded him, and sent his scalp as
trophy to Connecticut. Whether he was
buried or cremated is not known; proba-
bly, the latter"

A DIAMOND exceeding in weight any OF the
historic diamonds of the world, and said to be
Of wonderful purity and lustre, has just been
shipped from South Africa and sold by Lon
don firm to q syndicate of diamond merchants.
When cut in drOp-shape it will weigh about
300 carats, and in loZenge- shape about 300
carats. The great Russian crown diamond
the ''Orloff," is only classed as 1876 carats. the
French Regent 1876. and the "KOhinoOr"
100. No India diamond is said to excel the
new discovered gem in color. and, unless its
size and quality have been greatly exagger-
ated, it will be notable addition 10 the pre-
cious jewels Of the world.
IN a lecture before the Society of Arts, Lon
don, Prof Williams said that twenty pounds
Of cheese contained as much nutritious ma
terial as a sheep Of sixty pounds, and would
give the same value in practical nutriment II
it could be as easy digested. The lecturer
| then demonstrated that the cause OF lnolgest-
! Utility in cheese was the loss OF its potassium
| salts in the process Of manufacture. Another
| savant present decided to experiment as to the
feasibility of restoring the lost salts and max
ing the article perfectly digestible. He is SAID
| to have succeeded so well that the matter Will
| soon be tried on a large scale. The amount OF
the bicarDOnate of potash restored Is "a
ounces to l pound of cheese. The two are
| simply melted together over slow fire, with
/ a small quantity Of milk.

The English have not yet seized Liberia,
although almost the entire West Coast Of
Africa has been appropriated by Euro
pean powers. The interval which separ-
ated the Portuguese possessions from the
British Cane Colony has been formally
taken possession Of by Germany, with the
exception Of Walvisch Bay, recently an
uexed by the British. Although Portugal
has. since the fifteenth century, held long
stretches OF both the eastern and western
coasts Of Africa, and though the POrtu-
guese language has spread widely into
the interior, Portuguese settlements have
not extended far inland, and the condI-
ton Of the colonies may be characterized
as languishing. It viii probably not be
many years before the Portuguese, like
the non-progressive natives, will be forced
~ give up the power they have exercised
70 England, Germany, and the Belgian
Company.

Cured Inv the Power of Love.

Mr.. L, n. Clarke, formerly of the Car
Donate mine, says the Louisville Demo
crdt, has been engaged for year or more
to a young lady in Denver. His tiancee
has been in good health until compare
lively short time ago, when she was
stricken with something which two sup
posedly reputable physicians pronounced
to be quick consumption. Her form be-
came wasted, her eyes frightened, and a
hectic flush appeared upon her cheek /;
there seemed no hope but that a very
short time would terminate her young
life, Her lover was telegraphed to come
at once. He took the first train to Dem
yer, and found his promised bride, Miss
Fahnstock, with apparently only few
hours to live. A license was procured, a
clergyman called in, and in the presence
of a few witnesses, the two were united
against any separation except death.
From the time of the wedding the young
wife commenced to improve. In weeks
time she was able to 60 about the house;
the flush in her cheek had almost disap-
peared, and in place of the unnatural
brightness of her eyes there shone the
glad light which coming health brings to
the convalescent. She has steadily been
growing stronger, and the baffled ply
sicians now declare her to be out of any
immediate danger at least; cured by the
power of love.

CHARGES AGAINST STANLEY.

Disputing for the Congo TerritOry-The
International Association.
The articles in the French press, par
ticularly in the journal deS DebdtS,
charging Mr.. Stanley and the agents of
the International Association of the Congo
with acts of savage prOvocatiOn and brutal
insults toward NJ. de Brazza and his COM
panions, says a Dublin cable special to
the Philadelphia Press, is attracting great
attention in London as well as in Paris.
The correspondent called upon Mr.. STAN
lev, at his rooms in SackYille street, for
the purpose Of obtaining az explanation
or an answer to the accusations in ques-
ton. Mr.. Stanley at once communicated
the following written statement:
"Despite it's generous breadth, your pa
per is not large enough to contain 1.-THE
Of the wild and careless remarks pub
lished about the International Association
by majority of the press Of the French
capital. 1t is exceedingly sad, this pic
ture of the moral depraYity of unOtend-
ing innOcents, of unlicensed reVels and
the wickednesS of ruthless aggression,
drawn by the Paris press. Tnls can only
be the result of a determination to regard
the association as inimical to French in
terests. Ill informed as the journalists of
Paris are concerning the Congo and our
action on that river, l confess to being as
ignorant of the locality of those interests
OF France which the association is said to
be hostile to. Where have we attacked
French interests, suppOsing that they eX-
list? In what manner have we shown hos
tility to them? Probably there are French
interests. l do not dispute the veracity
of journalists, but if we are to abstain
from iDiuring those we must be informed
where they exist that we may be on our
guard. Wherever l suspected there might
be interests foreign to our own Ihave held
strictly aloOf from them.
THAT treaty called the treaty with Max
ko. which the French Government and
Parliament ratified, was definite and To-
Gated the interest of France in the district
said to have been ceded to NJ. de Brazza,
lying between the Gordon Bennett and
ImkiIa rivers-the "Rive Droit." On my
return to the Congo in 1882 one of my first
acts was to command Lieut.. Nalcke to
leave the territory free and open for the
French agents. 'Mpunne 'NtabO, who is
the acting ruler of the territory called
Makobos, was very much disheartened at
our action. Nevertheless, the ratification
of the treaty by the French Parliament
demanded respect. When the Governor
of Brazzaville was appointed and was en-
route to his post he Travelled by our roads
and was Hospitality entertained at all our
stations"
