The ignorance of the character of

relation Of its w-makers to one another,

appalling. II is not confined to the back

In connection with the approaching
marriage of Justice Stanley Matthews
and Mrs. Theaker, the papers have got
ten some of the points very far astray
from the facts, write. Washington cor
respondent Judge Theaker died two
years ago at Deer Park, Md and he was
congressman from Ohio, and not from
Michigan: He was commissioner Of
patents under President Lincoln.
Mrs. Theaker is now residing, and has
for two years been mainly at her own
house at Concord, n. H.. which, bought
first for a summer home, has been her
retreat during widowhood. An aged and
invalid aunt has been her companion
during this time, and a sister of Judge
Theaker is now with her. These. with
other near relatives, will constitute the
quiet home party that will witness her
wedding in a few weeks.
Mrs. Theaker besides being a charms
ing and attractive woman, has deep relig-
ious convictions, and is a sincere and
earnest Presbyterian. In her Jealous
devotion TO charitable works during these
recent years she had even contemplated
entering a lay sisterhood but was dis
suaded by her friends, who felt that she
could accomplish equal good by remain
sng in her own natural place in society.
As q woman of a quiet, unpretentious
life and thorough refinement the recent
news paper notoriety misstatement has
been almost painful.
The rumors connecting her name with
that Of Atty. Gen. Garland are most abb
surd and unfounded, as she had never
even seen him TO know him by sight or
to know anything of him. Justice Mat
thews is deseryedly congratulated upon
his good fortune by all who know Mrs.
Theaker best and there is a general re-
joicing at the addition Of so charming a
woman to the upper and permanet circle
Of official society at the capitol. She
is from one of the good old colonial fam
lilies of New New England, the Sher-
mans and Nortons of Connecticut.

Instead of thinking what she should

she exclaims

She gives him minute directions
where to find the matches, and adds
that she would rather go and get the
water herself than have the whole

the water, and comes up stairs and
plunges into bed.
Presently his wife says: james let's

FRONTIER LIFE.

paralleled Heroism.

A Brave Young Girls UnseIfish and In
paraIleled Heroism.
Three years ago Thomas Ferguson
lived with his family in the valley of
Southern Missouri, himself, his wife,
wife's mother and four children making
up the family group.
The land was poor, times were hard
and Ferguson found it up hill work to
fill with bread the mouths dependent
on him. He had heard of the rich and
boundless West, and leaving his family
to follow at some time in the near
future, had sought the setting sun.
Locating after some months wander
ing on Bear river, in Idaho, he i'm
proved some land and was nearly
ready to send for his family when an
accident stretched him on his back and
swallowed up the earnings which were
to have reunited the father with his
family. That family he had double
reasons for wishing to see, for few
months after his departure from his
Missouri home his wife had presented
him with fifth child. Misfortunes
came in company, and soon after the re-
ceipt of the letter announcing the acct
dent to her husband the wife sickened
and died. Now, Mary, the eldest girl,
was the sole hope and prop of the
helpless family. She at once deter
mined to take the little children and
the aged granny" to her father. The
poor home was deeply mortgaged, but
it was sold, and with the pittance re-
naming after the debts were paid, the
old wagon and ponies, the brave child
started on her long journey. Passing
through Kansas the old wagon rolled
during the summer for the Nebraska
| line. The little heroine met with in
Vulnerable mishaps and innumerable
kindnesses. Many rough hand hel ped
her on and many a rough voice wished
her God speed" just within Ne
braska she found a resting place for
the winter, and this spring again took
up her burden.
In miserable wagon, drawn by two
half-starved ponies, there recently
passed through Cheyenne an old woman
of eighty and five great grandchildren.
| The eldest of these grandchildren was
a girl of twelve and the youngest was
a wee toddler of two. When asked ''if
she was not afraid and did she not
grow weary" she raised her eyes, in
which shone the light of faith, hope
and love, and answered simply: care
we not going to our fatherP" and SO,
with the rising of the sun, the old
wagon rolled on, guided by the hands
of the child-woman, made strong and
enduring by her own brave heart
toward that lonely ranch amid the
Idaho mountains, where the stricken
father awaits the coming of his chill
dren. Cheyenne (WY. IT, LeGtler.
