Tin Wedding.

The tenth anniversary Of Mr.. and
Mrs G. J. Stuart's marriage was cele.
brated last Monday evening. It was Il
surprise to Mr.. and Mrs. Stuart. A
large party Of ladies and gentlemen of
the city met at Potter's Hotel 1T eight
O'Clock in the evening, and from there
they proceeded to the handsome resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. Stuart, loaded
with tin ware Of every description,
cakes, sandwiches, etc. Tie process
sion marched in double file, headed by
Capt. Vining and wife. On looking
down the column it presented quite a
war-like appearance although every
thing went off peacably until within
Il few rods of the Stuart Mansi II.
where Charley was met sauntering off
towards town putting Il cigar. Capt.
Vining gave the command halt, and
before Charley had time to know what
was the matter, lie was captured and
faced towards home. OF course he
was completely paralyzed, but by the
time he reached the house he had en-
tirely recovered from the shock and
escorted his guests in as politely
as If lie had known of the af-
fair for 4 week. The house was soon
filled with people and a general social
visit followed. The gentlemen so OIL
retired to the smoking hall where Il
few individual presents were pre-.
sented 70 Mr.. Stuart, some of which
Charley thought would be very useful,
especially the fire extinguisher
and the White Owl. OF the white
onl he said the language of the poet
could be appropriately applied:"1 need
thee every hour" Dancing was the
next thing in order, and with Mrs.
Foss at the piano, very enjoyable
time WAS experienced in tripping the
light fantastic toe. After the dance
refreshments in the shape of sand.
wiches, cake, coffee and ice cream,
were served in any abundance. After
the refreshments were served Mrs
LambersOn and others favored the
party with some music, which was
excellent. Then came the marriage
ceremonyin all its solemnity. Judge
Ostrander performed the ceremony,
and after making Charley swear that
he would love cherish and obey the
woman that he held by the right hand
and making Mrs. Stuart promise that
she would see that he kept his word,
they were pronounced man and wife.
1t was then getting quite late and
most of the guests, having had all the /
enjoyment they could stand for one
evening, departed for their respective
homes. This was an evening long to he
remembered. Mr.. and Mrs. Stuart
did everything possible to make it
pleasant for their guests and we be.
lieve everyone went home feeling
happy. Following is a list of the
presents:

any rate, the belittleing criticism
which has been so copiously poured
forth on them by some of the news

altogether called for.
Quite an excitement was created on
Third street last Sunday, by a bullet
crashing through one Of the large
panes of glass in the front Of J. X.
Miller's hardware store. There were
several men standing il. front of the
store 1T the time but the bullet struck
several feet above their heards and no
one was hurt Mr.. Miller started i'm
Dediatcly in the direction from which
it came in search of it's source. He
soon discovered some parties hunting
on the opposite side of Union Greek
about three quarters of a mile from
his store building. James Riley WAS
one Ut the hunting parties and had just
fired at a gopher nearly in the direction
of town, and the bullet fitting bis gun
it was thought that that was w!6re it
came from. The gun is one of those
little 80 rifles and it seems like pretty
long shot for gun of that calibre.
It seems too, almost like a miracle that
it missed Ill the buildings between
the creek and Mr.. Miller's building.
People should he very careful about
shooting rifles in the vicinity of the
for if 4 bullet once gets into
the air it will often go further than
one would naturally think.

we have ever seen, lie rode it in
every conceivable position. He even
stood on tie bicycle, turned it bottom

and started off rs though he had heeu

This is one Of the most difficult reats
that has ever been performed with a

Bartholdi's Liberty.

Some idea may be formed of the size
of BARTHoLDI's Statue of Liberty re-
Gently arrived in New York, from the
following details: The figure proper.
from heels to top of head, is Ill feet, or
t,centy times the usual height of good
sized woman. The uplifted hand and
torch increase the height of the statue
to Isl feet. The nose is three feet nine
inches in length. The length of the
fore-fnger is nearly eight feet and its
circumference as the secoRd joint four
feet nine inches. The cavity inside of
the head will hold forty persons, and the
torch reached by spiral stairway will
hold twelve persons. The statue is
made of repousse (or hammered) cop
per an eighth of an inch in thickness.
This envelope is held in place by iron
plates and. braces fastened to great
iattice-like frame work of angle iron.
The framework itself is to be anchored
deep down in the granite pedestal. 1t
is question in engineering to make it
strong enough to enable the statue to
withstand the enormous wind pressure
to which it may be subjected. The
weight of the statue is about 400, 900
pounds. and of this 40 per cent or 160-
900 pounds is copper. The statue prop.
er cost $40, 900. the total cost reaching
fully $500, 900, and the time it is erect
ed on its pedestal half million of dol
lars will have been expended in thus
honoriDg Liberty. As erected ON Bed
lows Island, the torch will be about
800 feet above the water level, the
pedestal being of nearly the same height
as the statue.

There is dancing and laughing. and drinking
But the babe in the cradle smiles not with
There is silent lamentins and sorrows hot
But smile lights the face of the dead on the
bier.
Why the dance for birth. why the tear for a
death2
There's the painting of woe in the infants first
breath.
Men know not their time for their smiles and
their tears
When grim logic would groan, the air waves
A day is q lifetime; what is death but sleepp
When men doze 'er the wine cup it is treach-
erous and deep.
True hate is avoidance Love not the content
OF the throng singing songs through a lifetime
They rise suriy from couehes of down in the
And blush ar the sweat drops of toll that
adorn.
Scarcely heard Is the wall of the babe from
the womb.
When Grape tells of age to be laid in the
tomb.
From the highway of life the graveyard's
From the babe to the lad. from the lad to the
From manhood to age. and from age to the
hearse.
From baptism sprinkle to funeral absterse.
Ayi sorrow's the stamp on the brow of the
born,
but the roses on graves bear no Furnishing
thorn
On slow funeral is fixed the pale infants
bright gaze,
But the eye of the dead sees eternity's blaze
Why. then. smile fo3 a birth. why weep at q

Why the torch in the sunlight, why closed
eyes in the gloom?
While they drink round my cradle I laugh at
their toasts:
None know the true good but the kingdom of
ghosts.
How empty the Joy of one born TO diei
For one dying for life o how empty the sigh
Sin alone is ut cause for mans sorrow and
tears,
Not the cup nor the dance. but It's virtue that
cheers.
When my time shall have come and death
stands at my side,
And coffin shall cover my strength and my
pride,
Have dancing and drinking and laughter and
song,
AS who toasted my birth bear my coffin along.

West Educational Journal.
In the Memphis Appeal of the 8th
inst, we find nearly two columns of COM
munications in reference to book
notice. of Scudder's School History
published in this Journal last October.
Mr.. Corr, who was then editor of the
Journal, is now in Calvert, Texas, and
we are sure has failed to notice, thus
far, any of these communications, but
is quite competent to defend his opinion,
even if it should prove to be different
one from that entertained by such dis
tinguished sources as President JEFF
ferson Davis and The CLARION, neither
of whom has seen Scudder's History, nor
have we.
But we submit that it was hardly
courteous in Mr.. l.. Fillmore, of Austin,
Texas. Hon. Jefferson Davis, of Beau.

son. to take the above round about way
Of letting us know that we were crit

and Sedgwick was sitting out on the

me little visit. and I want to give
them something to driak. and | want
to get an order on the suffer to let me
buy some whisky

want any whisky. You and your
friends will like each other Just as
much without whisky
No we won't, said the man. do
you fellows around headquarters treat
your friends that way when they come

Local Option in Georgia.

Quite an exciting time was witnessed
in the Georgia Legislature on the 18th
of July over the local option bill. The
speeches of the opposition made no inn
preston; the tidal wave set in the
other direction and carried everything
before it. Hon. Mr.. Pringle, of Wash
ington county, made a long and un-
answerable argument in favor of the
constitutionality, the equity and the
propriety of local option by counties.
In the course of his remarks he stated
that 100000 people of Georgia de-
manded the passage of the bill. The
bill has already passed the Senate; the
House is overwhelmingly in favor of its
passage, so in all probability it will
become law. Already over 100 counties
have voted on local option, and when
this bill passes it is understood that the
large cities, Atlanta, Augusta, Macon
and Savannah will hold elections to
prohibit the manufacture and sale of
liquor in their midst.

TIE non-partisan character of the
Union Army, and the Importance of the
Democratic contribution to its ranks,
are strikingly illustrated by the follow,
ing analysis which we find in the New
York E'vening Post.
although delegates from the border
States sat in the convention that nomi-
mated Lincoln in 1860, the Republican
party hardly had an existence outside
of the free States in that year, ,and in the
whole South only 26, 430 votes cast were
for the Republican candidate. Delaware
gave Lincoln less than one quarter of
her votes, and Vermont more than .hree
quarters, yet Vermont sent only So per
cent of her available men into the Union
army, and Delaware nearly IS per cent.
Missouri gave Lincoln only 10 per cent.
of her votes, and Massachusetts, 63 per
cent; yet Missouri sent 81 per cent. of
her voters into the Unien army, and
Massachusetts, less than twelve per cent.
more. Maryland gave Lincoln less than
8 per cent. of her voters, and Iowa 81
per cent, yet Maryland sent 40 per cent.
of her men into the Union army and
Iowa but 55 per cent. Kentucky gave
Lincoln only 1864 voters and Wiscon-
sin Sc, 10, yet Kentucky's contribution
to the Unian army was "A per cent. as
against so from Wisconsin. 1t illus
strates the same truth that the close
State of Indiana, as often carried by the
Democrats as by the Republicans, led
the North in proportion of soldiers to
available force, while the other close
State, Connecticut, surpassed the ere
publican strongholds' of Vermont and
Iowa.

1t Don't Prohibit.

The saloon and whisky men of Topeka
Kansas, have discovered that if "prohi.
bition don't prohibit" and is in its
death struggles, it kicks rather vigor.
ously. On February 18th seven saloon
keepers were fined an aggregate of S..
100. Four of the seven were unable to
pay their fines, and were imprisoned in
the county Jail. On the following day
eleven others were fined in the aggregate
$1,000, and nine of this lot sought the
society of the first four. One thousand
five hundred dollars were paid in fines,
and fifteen saloon men are now in the
county jail. In addition to the fines,
the judge required each man to give a
$500 bond that he would not engage in
the business for two years. The Chicago
Champion, nine hundred miles away,
will protest that more whisky is sold in
Topeka to-day than ever before, but the
fifteen saloon keepers in Jail at Topeka
will unite with us in saying that, with
honest officers, prohibition does pro-
hibit. the Morning.
