and chivalrous regard for her, provided
handsomely for her support, and visited
her at not inferquent intervals at the
pleasant home which he furnished her
in Philadelphia, and where I presume
she is living now. No children were
born to this marriage, So far as I am
aware. That Mr.. Mccullough was mar
ried, as I have stated admits of no
question, and there may have been
children; l only know that to his in
innate friends, who were well ac-
quainted with his history, he was not
known to speak o. children, nor yet Of
brothers or sisters. That he has two
sons, one thirty and the other thirty
four years of age, as has been stated, is,
I think, undoubtedly not true.

M'CULLOUGH'S EARLY DAYS.

A writer in the Troy Times describing
the unfortunate tragedians early life,
says: "Mr. Mccullough came to this
country alone, q poor frierdless Irish
boy when he was seventeen years old.
He landed in Philadelphia, and while
wandering about the streets in search OF
employment, was surprised to see the
name of John Mccullough on the sign
over door. He Went III, found the
proprietor, and discovered in him the
uncle after whom he was named, and of
whose whereabouts lie had not known
before. From his uncle, young Nc
Cullough obtained shelter, protection
and employment, being apprenticed to
his uncle's trade as wood.worker. His
Unborn passion for the stagemauifested
itself in his devotion to dramatic htera-
ture to the study of which nearly all his
leisure time was devoted and his fondness
for the higher class of dramatic represen-
tations, which he attended as frequently
as his very limited means would admit.
"He finally attracted the attention OF

and from that time the poor Irish boy

TILED.

Would I were lying in a field Of clover
OF clover cool and soft, and scented sweet,
With dusky clouds in deep skies hanging over,
Aud scented silence at my head and feet
just for one hour to slip the leash Of worry
Tn eager haste from Thoughts impatient rush.
Aud watch it rushing in its needless hurry,
DESIGNING wisdom's call or duty's hush.
All! it were sweet, where clover clumps are meet
ing.
And daisies hiding, so to bide and rest;
No sound except my own hearts sturdy beating.
Rocking itself to sleep within my breast
just o lie there, filled with the deeper breathing
That comes of listening to wild birds song;
Our souls require at time this free unsheathing-
All swords will rust if scabbard-kept too long.
Ard am tired-so tired Of rigid duty,
So tired of ali my tired hands find to do
yearn faint for some of life's free beauty,
Its looser beads with no straight string run
through.
Ay. laugh, if laugh you will, at my crude speech;
But women sometimes die of such a greed
Die for the small joys held beyond their reach,
And the assurance they have al they need.

HOW FLYING FISH FLY.

A correspondent writes to Nature:
"An excellent opportunity of observing
the aerial means of propulsion in the
flying fish was afforded me during six
days calm lately when crossing the Bay
of Bengal. I watched day by day some
hundreds rise under the bows of the
ship. The water surface was CLASSY
calm. AS each fish rose it spread its
wings at once, apparently beating the
surface with them two or three strokes
before they steadied out. say appar-
emily, for it was no! definite beat SO
much Us struggled to rise. The tail.
which, OF course, under water was in
rapid motion, to escape from the ship,
now gave ten or dozen rapid beats,
which could be counted by the ripples
on the still surface, and the fish was off
in aerial fight. AS each fish lost the
impetus of the first rise, which gener-
ely happened at about forty yards, the
binoculars showed us the anal fins,
which had till now been fully extended,
dropping to feel the water. AS soon rs
the surface was felt the tail was quickly
introduced, and five or six smart strokes,
also indicated by ripples, brought the
impetus up again and carried the fish
about another thirty yards, when another
droop sent it on again, and so forth,
some of the older fish travelling in this
way 400 to 500 yards. The younger fish
frequently fell awkwardly in this at
tempt to regain impetus. Where waves
are running it requires q clever fish to
gain impetus by few judicious strokes
on the crest of wave, and many fish
tumbles over i'll the attempt
Il once saw fish ride close to the
ships quarter, and it flew parallel with
the ship, pursued below by dolphin or
bonita. The latter followed every sway
of the flying fish, keeping almost under
it. At the first dip of the tail the pur-
suer made dart forward, but missed it,
and again logged its prey by keeping
just under it. On the second dip the
tail went into its pursuer's mouth. and
there was an end of the flyer. 1t always
struck re that it seemed strain ON the
fish to keep the wings extended"

A Beautiful Wedding at DIR. HOge's Church

At the Second Presbyterian church
last night, in the presence of a great
multitude of friends, Miss Maria Barry
Albert, formerly of Mississippi, was
married to Mr. Thomas Archibald Cary,
the Junior member Of the well-knOwn
insurance firm of John Il. Cary q Son.
For this happy occasion two extra
chandeliers were put in the church, the
pulpit was almost hidden by ferns and
tropical plants, and in the midst Of
them was set a great number of lighted
candles. The ushers were the first to
enter the church and in the following
order:
W. S. Darlington, W. F. Peasants,
Clay Chamblin, Frank Cary,
A. b. Guigon, 7. n. Carter,
Levin Joynes, W. c. Leiebyrc.
Then came the bridal party proper in
the following order:
Miss Sophy Orrick, Of Baltimore,
cousin of the bride, and Miss Mary
Dewitt.
II. /. Cabell and c. II. Watkins.
Misses Sue Lee Stewart and Marie
Bruce.
W. d. Davis and G. c. SHIELD.
Misses Constance SPOTS and Millie
Cullen.
W. S. Wortham and George Bryan.
Misses Sallie G. Bruce and Julia
Jackson.
W. o. SHELTON and }. III. Anderson.
Miss Imogen Scott and Mr.. W. Il.
lludgins.
BRIDE AND GROOM.
The bride was attired in heavy ivory
white satin, with cOrsage, flounces, and
entire front of Duchess lace. Her only
ornaments were orange-blossoms from
her native State mississippi. The
bridesmaids wore simple white muslin
trimmed with Oriental lace. Instead
of the conventional bouquet they bore
baskets filled with rare roses and ex-
Otics. The brides bouquet attracted
especial attention, being fan-shaped,
and composed Of Marechal-Neil roses
and lilies of the valley on one side, and
the reverse Of violets.
The marriage ceremony, conducted
by the Rev. DR.. NJ. ID. HOge, was very
beautiful and very impressive.
Turning to go out of the church the
order Of the bridal party was reversed,
and each groOmsman met and proceeded
forth with the lady with whom he
waited.
Following the marriage-wbich took
place about 7'30 o'clock-there was a
reception Of the bridal party and a few
friends at Mrs. Scott's, 90l Capitol
street, and later Mr.. and Mrs. Cary left
for northern tour. They have the
good wishes of the whole community.
1t was generally said last night that
it had been long time since hand
sOmer couple, a more brilliant assembly,
and a more impressive ceremony had
been seen here.
