THERE WAS NO WEDDING TOUR
Romantic Marriage of a Pretty Girl
and Noted Burglar.

WILMINGTON, Del, Nov. GA wed.
ding behind the bars of the county Jail at
New Castle is the absorbing topic for gos-
sip in that village. The marriage Is y
peculiarly romantic ono. The bride is
Miss Guspie Turner, pretty and viva
cious girl living on Broad street, EbilG-
delphla, and the groom Charles B. Blake,
a notorious burglar, who is serving out n
three years term for robbing the house of
jacob pasey, of this city. He had pre-
viously served two terms in Pennsylvania
prisons for burglary. When arraigned
for trial for his first crime, a slater of the
prisoner sat near the dock, while in the
rear of the courtroom sat Miss Turner,
watching with intense interest the pro-
ceedings In addition to his sentence of
three years, Bl- ke was sentenced to re-
ceive thirty lashes, hut at tho earnest
pleading of the convicts sweetheart the
governor RENTED the lashing. Since
that time the girl has been frequent
visitor to the Jail, bringing delicacIes to
her lover. Her ladylike appearance and
gentle manner won the goodwill of the
prison officials, and sho was allowed uu-
usuasl privileges. She availed herself
OF the opportunities to emu Gle tools into
the cell, which Blake made use of to es-
cape, the second time being successful
and getting as lar as Philadelphia, where
he went ON spree and was recaptured.
MIss Turner was then rigidly prohibited
from seeing Bake, except in the presence
of guard. a few days ago she inquired
whether, if she became tho wife of the
prisoner, che would be permitted to visit
him alone. She was told she would, and
at once expressed her wish TO be united
to him. Blake was equally anxious, and
Mayor Black made them one.

Better Beef and Mutton.

At last there seems to be reason for
hoping that breeders of beeves and sheep
will turn from the aims and ways OF
breeders of porkers, and instead OF
striving to produce the greatest guam
tity of lat, Will aim to place before the
meat-eatinG public the greatest possible
OF good. nutritious beef end
mutton for a given outlay of food and
time. Since the IIIbnHe ca led at
tention to the gross wasteiu'ncss of the
old system a large number OF newspa-
pers have followed its example. The
Cleveland HeruN says on this subject:
..If it ever comes down to n genuine
beef, not a carcass of fat, there is a
show that the Devons will work them
selves up to the point. Those who saw
the beeves after dressing at Chicago
would hardly select a rOast or round
from one of them; the fat was so great
that there was a great waste in the pur-
chased beef. We need a beef animal
someth NC like the hog of a few years
since, a streak of lean and a streak OF
fat. The citizen does not want to buy
tallow he cannot eat, but to get n good
streak of lean he must buy the fat.
The movement in the direction OF the
production of mutton and beef, tender
and juicy. vet free from masses of tai
low, may be FASTENED by offering
special premiums. valuable enough to
lie worth competing for. to breeders

woman of her day. whether by position

husband she often signed herself
''POrtia." in accordance with a stately.
and perhaps rather h~igh-flown. habit of
the period. and she certainly showed
qualities which would have done honor
to either the Roman or Sh~akespearian
heroine of that name. In her letters we
see her thoroughly revealed. While the
battle of Bunker Hill was in progress
She wrote that it was dreadful but
glorious" and in the depression Of the
battle OF Long Island she said: IF al
America is to be ruined and undone by
a pack of towards and knaves. | wish to

When. first among American women.
She represented her Nation Mt the court
Of st. James, she met with equal pride
the contemptuous demeanOr of Queen
Charlotte; and when her husband was
chosen President. she wrote to him:
My feelings are not those of pride or
o~stentat;on upon the occasion; they are
solemnized by a sense of the Obllga-
tons. the important truths and numer-
II duties, connected with it," When
finally, after four years, he failed of re-
election. she wrote to her son: 1.-The
consequence to us is personally that we
retire from public life. For myself and
family l have few regrets If l did
not rise with dignity. l can ut least tail

Cats Meat

Correspondents OF knOUtedJe, in
treating Of cats, do not seem to have
remarked some acts of intelligence
which may be observed daily in the
streets of London. At the cry of the
cat's-meat man all the cats are in cOm-
motion, but all are not excited by the
cry of the same man. A dozen men
NAV walk up and down the same streets
with tempting morsels, crying ..Meat.
meat" but only at those houses they
are accustomed to serve will the cats be
reused by the call. No sooner does the
proper man arrive in the street than ey-
cry cat he is accustomed to serve rushes
frantically to the door. or, if allowed,
into the street, running mewing toward
him. rubbing against his legs. or ome
times sitting in q begging attitude be-
fore him. but never, as far as l have oD
served. attempting to steal from the
open basket.
One day 1 noticed 3 al whose man
had either forgotten her portion or had
been unable to make her mis- ress hear,
and so had passed on. The cat, however.
alter HIM, mewing piteously, and when
at last she made him understand. she
ran back to the house before him,
where, by this time, the mistress was
ready to take the delicacy so much
priced by all London cats, however well
fed. l have often watched this act of
discrimination in our own cat. Tom
would sit quietly doing while man ait

'.Nleat, meat" but presently he would
Jump. rush to tie window, and remain
in a state of great excitement, and soon
after a distant cry of 'Meat!r' IN ght be
heard. and we knew that Tom had rec
ognized his own man long before we had
heard him. AS the cry drew nearer,
Toms excitement increased, and he
would almost fly to the door. A singular
fact remains to be told. On Saturdays
the man would leave two portions, as he
did not go his rounds on Sunday. These
were often thrown into the area, to
which Tom had access. He would al

but not fastened), in order to look out
OF the window. have, however. been
told of a cat who would open not only
a latch, but an ordinary dra ying-room
door, rather loose, by taking the round
knob between her paws and twisting it
round till it opened.
The fact of cats distinguishing be-
tween one meat man and another seems
to me to disprove the Oft-repeated as
SertiOn that cats attach themselves only
to places and not to persons, for here
we see them able to pick out q certain
man by his voice alone, even at a great
distance.-Buckidnd.
