Brooklyn, N. ", Union.
The growth OF Dakota during the last two
or three years has probably surpassed any
thing in tho history OF the country In the
fiscal year OF 1881 only 400 acres Of land
were sold in the Territory The building OF
the Northern Pacific Railroad, however, opened
the region 10 easy access. aud the
sales jumped in 1882 to about 4,5O0,oo0
acres. This total was doubled in 1888, and
the record for the past year SHOVE an
increase of about one-fourth over those
enoFmous figures. Towns spring up almost
in q day, and develop into considerable cities
within o year. Tho population increases with
great rapidity The number of homesteads
taken mp during the last year was 5000, each
Of which is supposed 10 represent q family.
The growth OF population is followed by a
rapid increase in educational faGihties Fan

only a sample of the way in which education is

been founded in the territory within the last

A PARIS BRIDE.

The Marriage of Nile Hddin0 and the
Theatrical Gossip -Ibomt 1t.
A few words concerning the bride of yes
terday-Mme. Victor Koning. The classical
~ beautifully features of Mile. Hading are
familiar to everyone, and her recent success
for the long series of representations of
the ''Maitre DIES FORCES, " and the stupendous
figures showing the income of the profits,
make the Interpretation, to all purposes,
at once the enviable position of almost the
foremost premiere of the day. The lady be
gan theatrical life quite as a child. She
was the petted prodigy of the provinces,
Belgium, and elsewhere, in plays like the
Savannah Pirates" and others of thrilling
sentiment. A few years later, when much
too young, however, badly advised, Mile.
Hading began to sing in operatta To coun-
ter-balance a very small, unsympathetic
voice, she possessed method, charming dis
tinction, and beauty. 1t was that she be-
came for time the diva of the
Renaissance, even rivaling Granier. Her
imperfect voice soon became a victim
TO throat trouble, and she gave up song for
comedy, showing considerable ability in her
impersonation in the the play 'fAutour de
Marriage 0hnet's drama has given to her
studied, refined, and somewhat mechanical
talent the baptism of complete popular APP
proval, and the doors of the Coincide Fran
caise have been opened to her by NJ. Perrin
whenever her ambition may deem the mo-
ment propitious. 1t is no secret to anyone,
however, that VI. Koning aspires to the posi-
ton of administrator of the first of all
theaters, and it is probable that time-and
the retreat of NJ. Perrin-will give TO both
husband and wife the realization of the lofti-
est ambition Of the theatrical career. The
Renaissance belongs to a stock company.
Mr.. Koning is one Of the directors, and also
the sole manager at a fixed salary of no
mean importance. Undoubtedly the won
derfully bold success of this Napoleonic i'm
presSrio suggested to Ohnet one of the heroes
of his new book, '.Lese Fleuron" Nine.
Koning had been paid 20, 900 francs year,
without the feuX, which probably brings
her salary up to nearle $4,000 francs.
No one dreamed OF an immediate
marriage between the manager and

toned it TO q few intimates while dining in

London Field
Notwithstanding the fact of there being
very few matches of much interest to be
played off to-day, fair assemblage in point
Of numbers gathered together on the cricket
ground in Liverpool to witness the final tie
in the gentlemen's doubles between the Cam
bridge pair, Messrs. Wilberforce and Mac,
naghten, and Messrs. Sears and Dwight.
The Americans lost the toss, and had to play
with the sun in their eyes for the opening
set, and this they lost anyhow, only gaining
two games. and by many it was thought that
the match would prove runaway one; but,
on changing ends. Messrs. Sears and Dwight
commenced playing in very much better
form, and, in spite of their being no sun to
bother their opponents, very easily gained
the second set
In the third set was seen really beautiful
exhibition of lawn tennis the rallies being
long and extremely well contested, while the
seventh game was gem in its way the play
on both sides being as fine as has ever been
seen in double match. This set was taken
by the Americans, and they seemed as If they
they were going to win the fourth very easily
at one time, but, sackening a triie in their
play, the Cambridge pair not only brought
the score level, but afterward had it called
five games to four in their favor. A splen-
didly served love game was then won by Mr..
Sears, and after he and his partner had won
the advantage game, and they again had the
score called games all, they won the thr-
teenth and fourteenth games, and so secured
the set and match after some really wonder
fully fine play. The games in the match
stood % to II in their favor, and at the con-
clusion the applause was long and loud, no
one apparently grudging the Americans their
hardly-earned victory; indeed, on all sides
congratulations were showered upon them.
Messrs. Sears and Dwight may be said to
have won the match by their good general
ship, in keeping their returns well out of Mr..
Wilberforcc's way, as, when he did obtain
possession of the ball, his strokes were ex-
tremely severe. Mr.. Sears played most
steadily all through the match, while Mr..
Dwights returns of at times, most difficult
balls were extremely brilliant, and fully de-
served the applause they gained. In the
Veterans singles DR.. Rooke-Leg showed
himself well in front of his brethren, very
easily defeating Mr.. Fraser in the final round
losing only two games in the two sets. DR..
Rookie Ley did not lose set to any Of his OPP
ponents in either of the three rounds, The
ties ip the ladies' doubles and ladies' and
gentlemen's doubles were both Tery easily
won and do not need mention here. All
the five consolation events were preceded

This was suit by Mr.. Frederick Warbur-
ton Stent sor the dissolution of his marriage
with Mrs. Eliza Stent, whose maiden name
was Mannings, on the ground of her adult
cry with Gen. Alexander Low
Mr.. Searle appeared for the petitioner;
neither the respondent nor correspondent
defended the suit.
Mr.. Stent was examined and stated that
he was an architect. He married the re-
spondent in May, 1851, and there were two
surviving children of the marriage. Up to
the goth of May, 1882, his wife and he had
lived most happily. For some time before
that date her health had become affected in
such way that Dr. Mathews Duncan was
consulted, and he advised that Mrs, Stent
should proceed to Kreuznach, in Germany,
TO take the waters there. As it seemed likely
that her sojourn abroad would have to be a
long one, it was impossible, owing to his
having to attend to his profession,
that the witness could go to
kreuznach and there stay with his wife; and
Gen. Low, being an intimate friend of Mr..
and Mrs. Stent's of many years standing, it
was arranged, after friendly consultation,
that the correspondent should accompany
Mrs Stent and her daughter. who was about
20 years old. cat that time,'' said the wit

man, and not with scoundrel." From the
time of her departure till October, 1883, the
witness received about one hundred letters
from his wife, dated at Kreuznach, Wildbad
and Geneva. All tpose communications
were atfectionate, but in them Mrs. Stent
did not speak of returning home. Finding
that she was about to spend second winter
abroad he made inquiries, which led to Mr..
Hart Smith, his solicitor and friend, pro-
ceeding to Geneva. In consequence of
what Mr.. Smith reported to him the proceed
lngs in this court were instituted.
Mr.. Edward Hart Smith was examined
and stated that in October 1888, he had an
interview with Mrs. Stent at Geneva, in the
hotel where she, her daughter, and the CO.
respondent were staying. He asked Mrs.
Stent whether she meant to return to her
husband and family. She replied that she
did not, and that she had thrown in her lot
with the correspondent The respondent and
the correspondent made no secret to him of
the illicit relation between them, but told
him that Miss Stent had no suspicion of
them. He subsequently accompanied Miss
Stent to Antwerp, where they met the petit
toner, in November he again went to Gene
va and served the respondent and the CO.
respondent with citations.
The evidence of George Muntz, lead wait
err in a hotel at Bale, Switzerland, was read.
1t was taken in April, 1884, and Muntz de-
posed that the respondent and correspondent
were then living at the hotel as man and

JOHN S. WISE, OF VIRGINIA.
Popular Congressman from the Old

Il POput0r Congressman from the Old
Dominion
John S. Wise, of Virginia, is a congressman
about whom much has been printed of an I'M
complimentary nature by the partisan press, says
q Rochester Herald gossiper. The facts are
that Wise is one of the most popular men of the
house, and one whose attachments are of the
most striking order as well. As minute
speaker sentimental themes, one who will
turn the acrimony OF party disputations into q
mellowed and softened channel, Wise has few
equals. Extemporaneous efforts are likely to
be his best, and the attention of the house is
always at command when his round solidly-
built form rises from seat No. 81 on the Repub-
lcan side. \ few we-chosen deliberate
sentences prelude the synthesis in
there five-minutc talks-his speech becomes
more rapid, SMILES crowd upon each other and
nervous force betrays itself in every gesture.
His climax is suddenly reached and as suddenly
left in tinted outlines of relief in few sentences
of gorgeous shading, and-he is done. sweet
pain will be throbbing within you as he takes his
seat, and, as like as not, you will find yourself
brushing away a surreptitous tear as we'll
Twice during the present session he has evoked
the warmest applause from both sides of the
house in just such outbursts. Personally he is
genial and unstilted-almost boyish in manner

him few weeks ago. During our talk the con-
nection he has had at various times with the
code as a duelist was touched upon "How is
it, Mr. WISE" l asked, THAT you have been
so widely written of in connection with the

Wise is the son of one of Virgna's old time
governors, if memory does not deceive us, of he
who figured as the executioner of grand old John
Brown. He was born in Rio Janero, Brazil in
1S47 though there is little in his smoothly shay
en- face and boyish countenance to suggest
man so near the midsummer of life. He was ed
ucated at the Virginia military institute, studied
law at the university of Virginia, and is lawyer
by profession. During the war he fought as a
private on the confederate side, though now his
brilliant oratorical efforts carry no richer pic
lures than those drawn of the stars and stripes,

Peter Mrtssen's Passion.
Tsan Francisco Call. |

A story from Haywards, Alameda county,
that Peter Mussen is chicken peddler, and
that he loved the widow Wrider, who lives on
the mountain road, not far from Haywards.
She is buxom dame of 26 years, and the
peddler courted her bravely, but she would
and she would not, until the amorous chick
en- merchant nearly went out of his mind,
such as it was. He did the next best thing,
and sought the lair Of San Francisco clair
voyant. As may be readily believed the pro-
phetess was ready enough with solution of
the difficulty. Her declaration was that
Mrs Wrider was desperately in love with
man with side. whiskers. Mussen's cheeks
are as bare as pumpkin, so he borrowed
side-whiskered mask and a shotgun, and
skulked down By the widows house one Sun
day evening recently. He listened outside
the door, and when he heard Mrs. Wrider
tell her children to go to bed, he smashed in
three windows and broke open the door
Then he fired charge Of buckshot through
the ceiling and departed, leaving bis mask
behind him. His intention was to personate
the supposed side-whiskered object Of the
widows affections in order to disgust her
with her alphabetically hairy-faeed lover.
He was arrested and tried before Justice
Austin at Haywards, and On his trial be
swore that Mrs Wrider had given him
powder in his tea some time before be adopt
rival. He was sent to the county jail for six
months. Mrs. Wrider denies that she ever
gave him any powder.

4 I'a,4sien Bird Churme,.'s Singular ro.c-
PAU Mall Gazctte.I

Paris has found new sensation in q bird
charmer, who has been astonishing the boul-
evardiers with his powers. A bet was made
between him and NJ. Loizey, gentleman
who was rather skeptical in such matters.
The conditions were that NJ. Loizey should
furnish dozen birds, which were to be at
the disposal of the charmer for fifteen min
utes. At the end of that time NJ. Picard was
TO open the cage which contained them and
each bird was to ahght upon a certain arbut-
us, brought upon the ground by him and
placed at a distance OF 100 metres from the
point where they were liberated. For each
bird which did not obey the charm within a
quarter OF an hour NJ Picard was to pay NJ
Lolzey fifty francs, and for each bird which
did NJ Lolzey was TO pay NJ. Picard the same
sum.
When the time for the test arrived so large
aud SO curious crowd had gathered on the
Champs dc Mars that it was impossible to
maintain the needful space of 100 meters
around the spot where the cage was placed.
Forty meters WIS all the distance that could
be secured. The results. therefore were not
accepted as determining the bet, and another
trial win lie made. The birds, however-re-
le.rsed under these cOnditioIs-hew, one BY
one, to the arhutus and perehed ON its
branches, 10 the great establishment of the
spectators. VI. Picards charm consists, it is
believed, in impregnaIing these branches
with so.orless and mysterious liquid, the
secret OF v hich Is as vet his own.

THE ELMS OF ELMO.

o Mary, put your work away,
And let US for a while be gay,
And watch the yellow perches play
Beneath the elms of Elmo.
The summer now is in its prime,
And, just to pass away the time,
I'll make simple little rhyme
About the elms of Elmo.
The brown thrush sings on every tree,
The cat-bird trills his gushing glee,
And not less happy, love, are we
BY the triplet elms of Elmo.
The grossbeak with his rosy breast,
The oriole in orange dressed,
With music welcome every guest
That seeks the elms of Elmo.
Wild roses bloom along the shore
With pinks and harebells covered o'er;-
Their fragrance on the breeze they pour
That stirs the elms of Elmo.
The boatman sets his snowy sail
To catch the gentle evening gale,
While lovers tell the ancient tale
Around the elms of Elmo.
That tender tale, SO often told
When sheep are gathering to the fold;-
Though ancient, it will meier be old
Beneath the elms of Elmo.
AS with our boat we smoothly glide,
Wen watch the water-lilies ride
Upon the gently -heaving tide
That laves the elms of Elmo.
Wen watch the rowing dragon-hy
Dart to and fro across the sky,
As free from care as you and [,
Or the happy elms of Elmo.
Should coming years, to You and me,
Bring thoughtful care, as it may be,
Yet still, in fancy, we shall see
The three green elms Of Elmo.
And in our LIES declining day,
Wen not forget, though far away,
That youthful lovers still are gay
Beneath the elms of Elmo.
Come, Mary, leave your work to-day,
And let US watch the perches play,
And while the pleasant hours away
BY the bonnie elms of Elmo.
