Mr.. j. w. Beasely, of Montgomery,
was married TO Miss Annie Smith,
Of Caldwell county, about the 25lh
of May. We learn that the young
lady's parents knew nothing about
it until Sunday before last, when
William, it is alleged, was just start
ing on u drive, and as he raised her
10 the buggy he imprinted kiss up
on the lips Of his beautiful bride,
and the old man perhaps was in hear
ing OF the osculatory sound, and step
ped up and informed William that
such familiarity was growing irk-
some, and that he must cease his at
tentions. William then drew from
his pocket a certificate of the clergy
man who had tied the nuptial knot.
Whereupon he informed Mrs. Dease,y
that he no longer interposed an OBJ
lection 10 the contemplated drive
Cadiz Telephone.
The young lady in question at
tended school at Bethel Female Col
lege in this city year or two ago.
Ii we are not mistaken we saw them
together at Church Hill May 2Sth,
but we took it to be only an aggrava-
fed case of love in the first degree and
not regular honeymoon they were
enjoying. However, Billy, we wish
you and your pretty young wife a
long life of doubled and twisted
happiness, now that your claudestine
marriage has been made public.

lie is man about 10 years old and
has frequently been shot before and
always got well. His wound is con-
sidered very dangerous one, but as
he was alive yesterday he may pull
through this time also. Gibson es-
capped and is still at large. lie is a
bad citizen and ought to be stopped
in his mad career. He is cousin oI
Geo. Gibson, who was sent to the
penItentiary from this county last
March and who died few weeks

The Opening a Grand Success.

This famous watering place expe-
rienccd last Friday, the most success
fll opening in its history. The
guests commenced coming in OH
Thursday, and by Friday night over
"a hundred people had registered.
Saturdays register showed ninety
five names and 1t was with difficulty
they were placed away for the night.
Hopkinsville, Cadiz, Princeton and
Eddyville were largely represented,
as we'll as many other points more
distant. The hall room was lighted
up about 8 o'clock Friday night and
every thing was in readiness for the
opening ball of the season. The mu-
sic, made by the Italian band, engaged
for the season, was as delightful as
could bo desired, and the young la
dies and gentlemen, as well as many
of the married people in attendance,
engaged in the pleasant pastime un-
til u o'clock, at which time the ball
closed, and the guests repaired to
their rooms, TO enjoy the delightful
breeze and sweet repose until awak-
ened the next morning by the music
from "Mike's" band.
sThe same band is in attendance
that was there last year, and those
who have enjoyed the music can tes-
tify to its superiority. A dance will
be given every night, as has been
customary in the past, and the young
people who visit Cerulean this season
may expect TO be treated to every
thing that will add to their pleasure
and comfort. The barbecue Oh Satur-
day the 3rd was largely attended, and
the supply of barbccued meats was
ample for the occasion.
Many people were in attendance
from the adjoining counties, and all
seemed to enjoy the day substituted
for the glorious 4th. In the after
noon those in attendance were enter
tanned by the candidates for office in
Trigg county, The speeches Of
Messrs. Jno. G. Dabney, Democrat,
and Paul A. Curling, Republican
candidates for county attorney, were
quite spirited and highly enjoyed by
all. Mr.. Dabney is the acting county
attorney, and his record is deserving
of an endorsement from the people
which lie will undoubtedly receive
The season is now fairly open, and
guests are arriving every day. Evi
dences are given that this will be one
of the most prosperou seasons fol
Cerulean. The healing waters still
flow in sufficient quantities TO supply
all who desire to drink, and many al
appetite has been strengthened by
their use.

make no better selection than Ceru

The Progress in Photography.

Probably in no other art has greater pro-
i,ress been made, during the past year or two,
than in the art of photographing. The adop-
ton of photography as pastine has been at
the bottom OF the progress, some of the most
valuable improvements having been developed
by amateurs. The great fleet of excursion
boats that followed the coutesting yachts was
covered with amateur and other photog-
Faphers and their instruments But the I'M
yieldy tripod, surmounted by a big box,
must soon disappear. There were plenty of
photographers on the fleet that did not dis
play their instruments. a hard rubber disc,
buttoned under the waiscoat, with a nipple
projecting like button through buttonhole,
served some of them. Little black and red
gripsacks, with small hole in one end, were
the instruments used by others
Mr.. Burns, the artist employed by Harper
Brothers, carried what seemed to be a littls
wooden lunch box. The scene TO lie taken
was let in through n shutter in one end It
could be seen through hood that could he
raised through the top of the box, and the
fociis adjusted to suit. Then n spring was
touched, and "click," the view had been grap-
pied bard and fast. Artists like Mr.. Burns
;'se the camera only for securing the small
"details of scenes which they wish to repro
tluce in the periodicals they represent, or
when some scene has to be taken on the in
slant. They much prefer pad Of cold
pressed paper and a soft pencil for any but
an extraordinary occasion Bu. photographs
are growing in favor as the prices of them
decrease. a good many people expect to SEQ

be furnished in weekly periodicals instead Of

Gen. Partinrton, Of Mexico.

A few years after the collapse of the Next
can empire / met the border bravo and self
appointed general, CortiIia, in Matamoras
hotel, and was surprised at the easy grace of
his manners. He was courtesy personified,
but his compliments were never fulsornc; his
Callantry was spiced with bon mots, his gas
conades tempered by vein of self -bantering
good humor. He could have passed muster
in a court review of Castilian cavaliers But
the commencement exercises of the most
primitive boarding school would have floored
him in two minutes. I'm poor man. he
told a Texas sportsman after one of his re-
verses, "but if it comes to reading and scrib.
bling, thank God, am still able to pay for
hired help He used to sign his name with q
capital &, followed by u convolution of zig.
znss that could have challenged the prestige
of Horace Greeley. In an officers club al
Brownsville, Tex, he once mentioned the
completion of that monument of American
enterprise, the suspension bridge between
New York and Berlin" But his crowning
effort was his funeral Grafton at the grave Of
Lieut.. Young, border adventurer who had
acted as his aide-de-camp, and lost his life in
n sharpshooters' skirmish near Reynosa. Let
us forget all national differences" exclaimed
the orator; "let remember that we arc
brethren and citizens of the same free CONT

cross, others the crescent and others the starr
