The residence of Dr. and Mrs. Clement
L. Eyer, in the First ward, was the scene
last Thursday evening, of a happy matri-
monial event being the marriage of their
youngest daughter, Miss Clementina, to
Charles Moore. one of the most popular
and energetic mail agents on the line of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
Railway, between Chicago and Mime
apolis Charles Beckman. Justice of the
Peace, made the couple man and wife.
The wedding was somewhat private in
character, there being few present except
the near relatives o. the contracting
parties. The bride was we'll remembered
by her friends in the presentation OF
handsome wedding gifts and the hearty
desire was expressed that the bridal pair
might have a happy and prosperous
welded life. Mr.. and Mrs. Moore took
their departure on brief wedding tour
to st. Paul and returning will settle down
to enjoy married life in their cosy home
in the First ward.

Here on the banks of the raging Piscata-
quis, where winter fingers in the lap of
spring till it occasions a good deal of talk,
there began a career which has been the
wonder and admiration of every vigilance
committee west of the turbulent Missouri
There on that spot, with no Inheritance but
predisposition to premature badness and q
bitter hatred of rum; with no personal prop
erty but a misfit suspender and a stone
bruise. began life history which has never
ceased TO be warning to people who sell
groceries on credit.
1t should teach the youth of this young
land what glorious possibilities may lie con-
cealed in the rough and tough bosom of the
reluctant present. 1t shows how steady per-
severance and a good appetite will always
win IN the end 1t teaches US that wealth is
not Indispensable, and that if we live as we
should, draw out of politics at the proper
absolutely demand it, the matter of our
birthplace will not be considered.
Still, my birthplace is all right as birth
place. 1t was good, quiet place in which
to be born. All the old neighbors said that
Shirley was a very quiet place up to the
time l was born there, and when 1 took my
parents by the hand and gently led them
away in the spring of '53, saying, Parents,
this is no place for us, it again became
quiet.
It is the only birthplace l have, however,
and hope that all the readers will feel per-
fectly free to go there any time and visit it,
and carry their dinner as l did Extrava-
CANT cordiality and overlooking hospitality
have always kept my birthplace back.

NY BIRTHPLACE IN THE STATE OF MAINE.
Last week visited my birthplace in the
state of Maine waited thirty years for
the public to visit it, and as there didn't
seem to be much of a rush this spring, l
thought / would go and visit it myself. 1
was telling friend the other day that the
public did not seem to manifest the interest
In my birthplace that thought Is ought to,
and he said I ought not to mind that.
'tJust wait, said he, It'll the people of the
United States have an opportunity to visit
your tomb, and you will be surprised to see
how they viii run excursion trains up there
to Moosehead lake, or wherever you plant
yourself. 1t viii be perfect picnic. Your
hold on the American people, William, is
wonderful, but your death would seem to
assure it, and kind of crystalline the affection
now existing, but still in a nebulous and
gunmy state"
A man ought not to criticise his birthplace,
presume, and yet, if / were to do it all over
again, do not know whether I would select
that particular spot or not. Sometimes l
think would not. And yet, what memories
cluster about that old house! There was the
place where l first met my parents. 1t was
at that time that an acquaintance sprang
up which has ripened in later years into
mutual respect and esteem. 1t was there
that what might be called casual meeting
took place, that has, under the alchemy of
TeslSIleSS years, turned TO gOlQen Inks, LOrHl-
ing pleasant but powerful bond of union
between my parents and myself For that
reason hope to be spared to my parents for
many years to come.
Many cid memories now cluster about that
old home, as l have said. There is, also,
other old bric-a-brac which has accumulated
since / was born there. I took a small stone
from tn front yard as a kind of ''momento"
of the occasion and the place. donot think
it has been detected yet. There was another
stone in the yard, so it may be weeks before
any one finds out that took one of them
How humble the hon.e, and yet what a
lesson it should teach the boys of Americal
Here amid the barren and inhospitable waste
of rocks and cold, the last place in the world
that great man would naturally select to
be born in, began the life of one who by
his own unaided efforts, in after years rose
TO the proud height of postmaster at Lara
mie City, Wy T., and with an estimate Of
the future that seemed almost proph- tic, re-
signed before he could be characterized as

A Magnetic Telephone.

Mr.. I. 81. Brown, or Fort Worth, Tex,
las perfected magnetic telephone and tele-
graph, which does away with batteries of
any kind. It was tested over thirty eight
miles of wire and proved perfectly salts
factory to telegraph men present, both as
telephone and telegraph.
The instrument used was composed of
two ounces of wire and a half pound of
steel, and can be made for % cents The
transmitter is simply a horse shoe magnet
either pole being covered with fine wire
cooled carefully. The armature is disk
steel, against which the voice is thrown,
transmitted through the magnet to the wire.
The receiver is similar. with smaller map-
net 1t is claimed by the inventor that he
can transmit the voice around the world or
across the Atlantic ocean, there being no
nniit to distance, all that is necessary being
the increase in size of magnet.

Water and Its ColOrs.

The ocean is blue where it is deep,
but green in shoal places. Some lakes
are blue, others green, others yellow,
and some are almost black. Rivers
differ still more widely in tint. For in
stance, the Rhine is green, while the
Danube and Rhone are deep blue, and
in the Adirondacks are streams which
are black, brown, yellow and colorless.
The tints and hues are not caused by
mud or sediment, but belong to the
waters and do not impair their trans
parency. A plausible explanation of
the differences is afforded by the theory
of Prof. Spring, of Belgium, who has
found experimentally that pure water
is blue when seen in deep mass, and
considers that all the tints arise from
the presence in the water of mineral
salts in varying qualities and different
degrees of solubility. The green tinge
he attributes to an imperfectly soluble
proportion of carbonate of lime, which
would not appear in deep ocean.
