The way people go crazy over
little distinction and notoriety, is
evidenced in the case of Cleveland's
wedding. According to the papers,
his bride is the grandest, noblest,
most beautiful and accomplished
lady on earth. The truth is, there
are thousands of ladies all around
us more perfect in mind and body;
but they are not dressed in Paris
best, have made no trips to Europe
and married no Presidents. At
Deer Park the President played the
school-boy by having a force OF po-
lice guard his cottage. In the face
of that, the people made fools of
themselves. One poor woman with
her child tramped ten miles over
the mountains to see the President !;
fOot-sore, weary aud worn, they
tramped back again without seeing
him. A few of the aristocratS Jared
a little better, though they made
just as big fools of themselves. Peo-
pie who are given to hero worship
must have shallow minds indeed,
and their charity for the human or
the divine is of very selfish order.
Cleveland basking in the sunshine
of wealth and happiness, is loaded
with gifts of nice words and fine
prayers and songs of adulation,
which in his heart he must despise,
for he has sense enough to see
through the transparency. The
thousands of homeless, starving, de-
spairing men and women, in all the
great cities, elicit not even a pass
ing notice from those who are re-
yelling in the good things of the
world. In that respect we are Il
revolntionist, and would not move a
step or turn a hand to see king or
emperor, president or prelate, for
we are all made of the same clay,
but clothed differently. Christ could
see king in beggar, but never
even a beggar in a king.
No one wishes the President and
his fair bride greater happiness than
We, the same as every other mortal.
By his actions the President gave
the fashionable world to understand
that he wanted a quiet wedding,
and this unusual chance to "show
Off is what fashions slaves could
hardly forego. Those who stopped
to push themselves III the bridal
company, after it was shown that
no company was wanted, was as hui
initiating a sacrifice from aristocracy
as poverty made tramping ten miles
over the mountain and back again.
The poor woman and her child were
objects Of pity for their folly; the
rich of disgust for theirs.

At Hedgesville, Berkeley Co., w.
Va, on the 9th inst, at o'clock p.
M, at the residence of the bride was
the scene of a most brilliant wedding.
The contracting parties were Mr.. Geo.
w. Appleby, Of BALTIC. City, Nd, and
Miss Laura B. Miller, daughter of j..
Fl. Miller, of Hedgesville. Rev. Mr..
Leavell was the officiating minister.
Quite number of the friends of the
happy couple were present to witness
the ceremony and to extend to them
their congratulations and best wishes
for their future welded lives. The
bride looked charming, of course-as
she always did-and the groom strug-
gled hard to suppress too great an ex-
hibition of his happiness and to de-
port himself with the gravity the oc-
casion required. After the repast the
happy couple took the 4:45 express for
Baltic, where a reception was given
at the groom's suspicious residence on
Friedrich Avenue. On the 10th they
took their departure to visit New
York, Boston, Philadelphia, Niagra
| Falls and other places of Importance,
acco mpanied by the groomsman,
Mr.. G. c. Crawford, a cousin of the
groom and son of the Rev. Thos:
Crawford, of Clarksburg, Md, and
Miss Jennie Murphy, the bridesmaid,
most beautiful and accomplished
young lady, daughter of the Hon.
Richard r.. Murphy, of Clarksburg,
Md, and Mr.. G. A. Miller, the BRIDES
brother. Friend Crawford says while
witnessing the above nupitial, the
solemn Injunction came upon him,
"Go thou and do likewise" which was
followed by the answer, :" / will, next

stranger, adds his hearty congratula-
tions and good wishes to the many
that have been extended to the hap.

Misplaced Confidence.

The recent failure of projected
manufacturing enterprise, which gave
promise of being the making of this
town, is another warning the blight
ing effect ofself-interest, whereby one
man is to get one thousand dollars
or its equivalent in free stock. The
mogul got nothing, and that he
deserved, but Martinsburg lost a

in enterprise here for nigh twenty
years. In everything, with the mouth,
and while others lose. always coming
out ahead. The experience of the
past should be lesson enough, and
dearly bought. The public good has
always to be made subservient to the
interests of few. Open the books
and show us how much cash certain
men ever paid into anything, while

CHANGE OF STRUCTURE.
A Claim That It In Entirely Due TO
Change OF Function.

A Claim That It La Entirely Due TO %
Change Of Function.
Here, however, my chief purpose is to
add an instance showing, even more
clearly, the connection between change
of function and change of structure.
This instance, allied in nature to the
other, is presented by those varieties, or
rather sub-varieties, of dogs, which,
having been household pets, and habit
ually fed on soft food, have not been
called on to use their Jaws in tearing
and crunching, and have been but
rarely allowed to use them in catching
prey and in fighting. No inference can
be drawn from the sizes of the Jaws
themselves, which, in these dogs, have
probably been shortened mainly by se-
lection. To get direct proof of the de-
crease of the muscles concerned in
closing the jaws or biting, would require
series of observations very difficult to
MAKE. But it is not difficult to get in
direct proof of this decrease by looking
at the bony structures with which these
muscles are connected. Examination
of the skulls of sundry indoor dogs,
contained in the Museum of the College
of Surgeons, proves the relative small
ness of such parts. The only pug-dog's
skull is that of an individual not per-
fectly adult; and though its, traits
are quite to the point they can
not with safety be taken as evil
.dence. The skull of s toy-terrier
has much restricted areas of inser-
ton for the temporal muscles; has
y of loc
tremely small attachments for the mas
setter muscles Still more significant is
the evidence furnished by tie skull of a
King Charles spaniel, which, if we al
low three years to generation, and
bear in mind that the variety must have
existed before Charles the Seconds
reign, we may assume belongs to some
| thing approaching to the hundredth
generation of these household pets.
The relative breadth between the outer
surfaces of the zygomatic arches is con-
spicuously small; the narrowness of the
temporal foss8 is also striking; the
zygomata are very slender; the tempo
raj muscles have left no marks what
ever, either by limiting lines or by the
character of the surfaces covered; and
the places of attachment for the masse-
ter muscles are very feebly developed.
AT the Museum of Natural History,
among skulls of dogs there is one which,
though unnamed, is shown by its small
SIZE and by its teeth, to have belonged
to one variety or other of lap-dogs, and
which has the same traits in an equal
degree with the skull just described.
Here. then, we have two If not three
kinds of dogs which, similarly leading
protected and pampered lives, show THAI
IN the course of generations the parts
concerned in clenching the jaws have
