 James 0Brieg, who recently accoEl. panied miner from Qujotoe 70 So. nora, in his playful moments killed his companion, for which innocent pas time unieeli1g officers ot Hermosiilo jailed him and James, not liking the situation, headed an outbreak in which one of the prison guards was killed. And now, notwithstanding Mr, c Briens oft repeated prayers at his mothers knee and Sabbath school edu- cation, he has been condemned to De shot to death within 60 days from the date os his sentence.

FAYETTEVILLE LETTER.
(Concluded.)
FAYETTEVILLE, Jan. 4, 1885.

FAYETTEVILLE, Jan. 4, 1886.
So we go down to commoner things, go
down a ladder, a dark side stairway, by
the mansard, with its enormous tanks,
floor by floor we near the earth. What is
the use to fit through library, museum,
a studio, an armory, when one hasn't time
to stay? We turn down the long diago-
nal, curved and planked, and 60 on out at
the corner Of the campus.
And now trouble begins. AS town we
are, as we generally are, in state of tran
sition between walks that nearly were and
walks that ought to be.
The president lately instituted health
exercises in the University on the old and
acknowledged grounds. But | will tell
you all about it in secret. The young
dies had to be trained up to the condition
of the walks, prepared to cross topping
planks, bitches with here and there asplin-
ter resting on rolling rock, sharp ridges
with slippery clay on either side. When
we get the gymnasium the Legislature is
going to give us, you know, you must not
be shocked to hear that we all attend it,
young and old-you must never be shocked
if you hear that we all 60 to dancing
school. There are life-saving apparatus
with us at the mercy of the mountain rains,
We don't want crutch to be the emblem
of graduation, you see. Robert Kidd
managed things differently-his plank in
cIined into the water and broke no bones.
The traps in Mirza's bridge were just as
civilized, one might call them humane.
I see you understand, 50 we will go on.
After very much Of the up-upy, and the
down-downy we come to bit OF the new
walk, fiat stones full of geological infor-
nation "chock full of science" where the
student may study after his stumbles' You
are right, these wave-washed, worm-arab-
ezoued rocks are all he ought to know OF

A PRETTY NEW YORK WEDDING.

We print below the account of wedding
in which the dresses, and arrangement seems
particularly handsome. The groom is the
brother Of the beautiful Miss Douglass who
was recently married in England to Mr..
James NJ. Halstead. The bride, Miss An
ME Page New York belle, who bears
this graceful Shaksperean name, must surely
have been "pretty Annie Page" in her
charming wedding dress;
"The bride entered the parlor on the
warm Of her father, preceded by her to
young sisters, her little brother and little
Master Miller, who carried baskets of flow

The bride was attired in an elegant robe of
white satin brocade, the front of which was
yelled with Aouncing Of point d'Alecon lace,
in design of roses in relief, lace filling in
the bosom, under lacing of silk cord, and
finishing the sleeves. A garland of orange
blossoms decorated the tablier and confined
the drapery Of the skirt, and the point lace
veil was SHIELD back by coronet of orange
blossoms, embedded in the brides soft
blonde hair. A boquet of twenty-three
halt-blown buds of the "Cornelia Cook
rose, carried in the hand of the bride, indi-
Gated her age at her approaching birthday
IN March. The bridesmaids wore white
satin; Miss Page with rose-colored ostrich
UPS IN hair and on her bosom, and bearing
IN her hand a bouquet of Catherine Mer-
met" buds, and Miss Miller, with the
'front.' OF her robe in pearl embroidery, car
sled IN her hand boquet of "Marechal
