INTERVIEW with Gov. Andrew G..
Curtin: I was disappointed in Martin
Irons. He made miserable appear
ance on the witness-stand, bore himself
badly, was the reverse of frank, and
crossed himself an innumerable num-
Der of times. He is evidently fellow
of no particular brains, and it is mys-
terry how he holds his position with the
order. The contrast between him and
such man as Powderly is marked in
the extreme. Powderly is a gentleman
of brains and culture, and a reasoner
and thinker in every sense of the word.
He is not to be mentioned in connection
with such man as Martin Irons.

The new aldermanic bill in New York
promises to give better government to
that city. 1t provides for municipal
elections in the spring every two years,
instead of in the fall at the State cleo
tons. Under its provisions, in April,
1887, Mayor. Comptroller, President
of the board, and fourteen Aldermen,
who will compose the new board, will
be elected. At the November election
of this year fourteen Aldermen will be
elected upon general ticket, who will
hold Office until January /. 1888, when
they will be succeeded by the fourteen
to be elected next April; after that time
the election of half the board will take
place in April every two years. The
most important feature in the new re-
form is that it allows cumulative voting
and thus secures minority representa-
ton. Under the new law, it is to be
hoped, there will be fewer Jaehnes in
the board in the future. Both the Re-
publican and Democratic papers of New
York City are confident 1t will secure a
better municipal government.

IT is said that Lord Beaconsfield was
won't to declare that nothing could
equal the obstinacy of womankind.
"Take the example" said he, "of my
wife. I had all the difficulty in the
world to induce her to range herself
among the women of thirty. AT length
she consented, but no power on earth
can, after an interval of twenty years,
induce her to loosen the connection"
Perhaps she remembered the creed of
Alfred de Musset, who declared moth
ing to be more divine than the charms
of la femme de trente ans.

Former white House Weddings.

The White Mouse has been the scene Of sew
eral we id ngs, each and all Of more or less dis
play. Probably tho wedding OF Nellie Grant
and Algernon Sartoris on May II. 1874 was the
most brilliant of the half dozen taking place
there. The East Room was the scene, and the
pair stood under an immense floral bell, with
background of flowers filling the big east win
dow There were six bridesmaids and noted
company. It was morning wedding, and
General Grant gave away his daughter with
fearful eyes and ill-conceal6d emotion. Later
on in President HAYES term, his niece, Miss
Emily Plat, and General Russell Hastings
were married. The wedding was in the Blue
Parlor, decorated with flowers and here also
the bride stood under n bell Of flowers. To so

was also Nellie Grant whom married. President
Adams son, John Quincy Jr., married his oous-
in, Miss johnson, in 1876. The wedding took
place in the White House, in President Adams
administration. When General Jackson was
President there were two weddings in the White
House. Miss Easton, his niece, and Mr..
Polk, of Tennessee. and relative OF
Jackson, were married. The other was
that OF Miss Lewis, of Nashville. and Mr..
Paaueol, who was afterward French Minis

the Congregational ministers at Chi

mirable harmony that existed between
the secular and religious affairs of the
Mormons. He said that they go shop

hearts and even attend the theater and
dances as part of their religion. The
great bulk of trade, he said, was done
by an organization known as the Zion
Cooperative Mercantile Institution, or
more Familiarity as "Zion's Coop" The
two main houses are situated in Salt

patronage of "the Saints" is not COM
pulsory yet they find it to their interest
to buy most of their goods from the in
stitution. "The great disadvantage in
Mormon life," said Mr. Wardell, ais

and the consequent disarrangement of
accepted social terms of that relation
