WANTED 10 uE MARRIED.,
But they Wouldn't Find Minister nj Hon
nor Oct License,

nor Get u License.
Those who happened to be in the
vicinity OF Market and Twelfth street
about o'clock yesterday afternoon were
very much amused by two rustics, a man
and a maid, evidently from some place
away up tine gulch, who loved each other
awful hard and wanted to get married.
They promenAdsd up and down the street,
arrayed in their best toys with hands
tightly Casped and swinging them con-
tentedly to and fro. That they were
somewhat embarrassed was apparent and
at last they were stopped and questioned.
They wanted a minister and were
directed to one, but he was not
at home and they were soon once
more leading each other up and down
Market street, Again they were stopped
aud sent TO the residence OF another minis
ter, but he also was not at home. The
couple returned to Market street and after
declining an invitation to drop in and lei

telling them he knew nothing about the

The Association decided that exhibit

even to be encouraged, since the purchase
OF fine birds improves the home breed
They still hold the display Of borrowed

they expelled their ViCe.pGesidCnt for

John Muousy, the Crook, sent to Jail
on Charge of Shooting to XIII.

Justice Davis had before him in the
Jail Office last evening, Charles Boggs,
William Turner, Anthony Rice and Will
liam johnson, young colered men whose
ages range from Ito 20 years, the first
three named charged with committing a
breach Of the peace, and all four charged
with reckless and entirely unnecessary
use OF profanity. The warrants were
sworn out by Prof, ]. IL, Jones, principal
OF the Colored school.
The four prisoners are OF that class call
ed Dandy Dudes" which ID frequently
portrayed on the minstrel stage. They
usually manage to wear pretty good
clothes, very high cellars and pointed
shoes. Their isvorite occupation is to
lounge about the street Coruers after dark,
where they do shuHles, attempt ballad
singing and by their noise and obstruCting
the sidewalk become nuisance, Recent,
| ly Professor Jones, in some re-
marks before an audience Of colored
people, pointed out the good that
might be done ii certain idle young men
would discard the high collars and go Ia
work. His remarks were not personal, but
they were construed as such by Boggs and
theothers, andthey proceeded To- lay for the
Professor. They caught him as he was on
his way home the other evening and had
not friend gone to his assistance, the
crowd might have harmed him.
The justice placed the first three under
500 bonds 10 keep the peace for one yea
and in default Of that they were sentenced
to ten days in jail, The four were fined
one dollar and costs for profanity, and in
default OF payment were given ten more
