MARRIED.

THOMAS MoGEHEE. - At the NJ. L.
Church, in San Marcos. Texas, Nov. 10,
1886, at Z p. m., Mr.. +. l., Thomas and
Miss KATE MoGEHEE, Rev. j. ), Gillett
officiating.
Promptly at 7 p. m, the hour set for the
ceremony, the bridal party arrived at the
church and at once moved down the left
aisle to the altar. To say that the church
was crowded would be inadequate, to say
the least Long before the appointed time
the people began TO assemble, and half an
hour before the time standing room was at
premium. In spite Of the Indictment
weather. the spacious church building was
taxed to its utmost capacity. San Marcos
beauty was well represented. The arrival
of the bridal party was announced by the
rendition OF the Wedding March by the ac-
complished organist. Miss Cara Franklin.
On no previous occasion, perhaps, were
THE DECORATIONS
more beautiful and appropriate. A large
horseshoe of evergreens was attached to the
south wall of the church, just over and back
of the preachers desk. inside of which was
the monogram, at. 1.-THE 7 formed of
evergreens, and the M Of white roses. Fes-
toons of evergreens were ranged from each
side of the preachers desk to the chande-
liers overhanging the aisles on either side
of the altar. thence to point at the ceiling
overhead, just opposite the altar A huge
canopy of evergreens, bedecked with white
roses, hung down from the ceiling at this
point, under which the bride and groom
stood during the ceremony. Vases of flow
ers lent further beauty to the general effect.
Last, but not least, was an immense arch
over the left aisle, made of evergreens, or
nameuted on top with vases of flowers, etc.
OF
THE COSTUMES
of the bridal party we cannot say much,
newspapers not being very good critics
thereof. Suffice it to say that they were
beautiful aud elaborate.
THE BRIDESMAIDS AND GRooMsMEN
were: Mr.. S. H. Watkins and Miss May
Joyce, Mr.. Lawrence Mcbride and Miss
Lula McGehee. Mr.. Hood McGehee and
Miss Lille Mcbride, Mr.. Zim. Lawhon and
Miss Sidney Kone. The flower girls, little
Misses Julia Kone and Bessie Garrett, pro-
ceeded, fairy-lke, down the aisle in advance
of the brida! party, strewing flowers in their
path. After the ceremony the bridal party
repaired to the home OF the BRIDES parents
where q choice collation. of edibles was
served. Many handsome and costly pres
euts were presented to the happy pair. We
congratulate and wish them long and hap
py career. Our advice to all others is, Go
and do likewise! Bon rOyage! on the trip
matrimonial and may their recently launch
ed craft steer clear of the rocks and find
safe harbor is the wish of the FREE Press.

Finally we reach the top. For q
moment we pause. It seems a rude
break on our reveries of cleanliness,
sweetness and prettiness to meet this
woman. For all people have told us
she is such q dreadful person, so un.
kempt and uncanny. However, we are
| in for it now. So we give sniff at
our roses, and, falteringly, knock. At
once the door is opened, and we see
this troublesome person, who replies
to our query: eyes, / am Louise
Michel, please enter" Then we pre-
sent the roses. She is over-joyed, her
face lights up, her voice grows softer,
and before she will say cne word more
she fetches a jugof water for the roses.
During this time we photograph her on
our mental camera.

Feet encased in coarse wool plated
slippers. The whitest stockings posi-

threads, cut short, lying in loose waves

decided features; In the throat that

a feminine, yet not masculine wom-

firm handling of subjects to be can

fanaticism, if you will. The latter ma

a magnetic power, also, of filling 'sthe

Lost Cabin.
from the Fall River Mail I

From the Fall River Mail.
Almost every region on the Pacific
coast has it's "Lost Cabin" where
millions in glittering gold lie undis-
turbed, but it is strange that g. treas
ure of this desert ption has never yet
been stumbled upon, with the one ex-
ception of the discovery of such a cab
in in the great Wind River canon of
Colorado. Tradition has it that g.
treasure mine Of immense wealth lies
hidden somewhere in the wild, rolling
region between Fall River and Mt.
Shasta, but present recollections are
so dim and misty that nothing can be
cleaned in regard to it. OF course, it
is a. desolate canon where the sun is
scarcely ever visible and no human
foot has trod for years. Tangled vines
the spot from sight, but the old skele-
ton of q hut still stands on the table
rock g. few rods away, the spectral
home of bats and owls. Great fat rat
tlesnakes sun themselves onits rotting
threshold, kissing g. weird warning to
all corners. Back in the fireplace, in O.
nest of quivering vipers, great fascinat-
ing nuggets of pure gold lie untouched
since mined by former owners, and
which it is almost certain death to ap-
proach. In another corner half-eat-
en- pair of leathern boots are lying,
while in a rudely-constructed couch,
almost rotted away, under 3 paneless
window, couple of CHASTITY grinning
skulls lie Wondering in the dust and
debris of a score of years, etc. That's
about the wav it runs and ALWAYS will
as long as remembered.

ried the young lady regarding whom I
had been in correspondence with him.
"sShe ought not to have married so
early he said, and then he cautioned
me at some length, adding that her
dangerous nature. Ientirely neglected
his advice. How could | apprehend
danger from her VINO loved me, when
each night my darling laid her head on
my breast and twined her loving arms
around my neck? Last night in my
sleep | felt my wife's hand upon my
neck. At first it seemed warm, but
gradually it became cold, SO cold that
at last it awoke me, and as / became
conscious | felt the sharp edge of steel
pressed into my throat. started up,
covered with blood, and saw for an in
slant her vacant eyes, and then her
piercing screams brought the servants
to the room. I heard them say that
| had inflicted the wound upon myself,
and that the sight had deprived my
wife of her reason. That is what I
wish every one to believe. She will
soon recover from her malady, and it
will never again afflict her. wish her
to lead happy life, which would be
impossible if it were ever known to
herself or others that she caused my
death. | am content"
Here the writing stopped. Terriers
prediction regarding his wife proved
correct, for she was restored to reason,
which never again deserted her. On
her recovery the impressions of the
last year had grown faint, and two
years later she married man of high
rank. Her life was exceptionally
favored. She became the mother of q
family of talented sons and fair daugh-
tiers, and no suspicion of the frenzied
deed of her youth ever rose to mar her
happiness. understood the sentence
which had remained unfinished when
the pen had fallen from Terriers rigid
fingers. For the sake of the woman he
loved his proud heart was content
that he should become an object of
pity to his friends and of scorn to his
enemies, and that he should lie till
now in a dishonored grave.
