MARRIAGE BELLS.

Last evening, at the hour of 8 o'clock, a
select party of friends gathered at No.
21O East Mulberry street, residence of DIR.
j. A. Murphy, to witness the marriage
ceremony of Mr.. Phil. Bassett and Miss
Mollie M. Murphy, the charming daughter
of Mr.. Murphy. The ceremony was exqui-
sitely performed by Rev: DR.. G. H.
Brooks, presiding elder of the Austin dis,
trict. The bride was handsomely dressed
and looked as sweet as the houri's. The
evening was exceedingly pleasant, and
the occasion made happy by the exhilir
ated flow of happy spirits and merry
chatter of sweet voices. Long may theil

With the first spring glory covering lawn,
terrace, and garden, an indefinable sense
of witchery comes over one, of which the
beholder is 10th to divest himself. Were
1, we, or the impersonality of The STATES
MAN, who saw these things, and experienced
these sensations very DESTROYS of showing a
visiting stranger the best side of Austin,
the intersection of Pecan street and the
Avenue would be taken as center, and
the course followed would be described
by radius half a mile in length. From
the cottage half hidden by trailing vines
and parti-colored bowers, to the turretted
mansion where nature has received new
auickening from the lavish hand OF
wealth, an unmistakable air of neatnes'
and home comfort is clearly observable

She gave her name as Celia Mariana

from all appearances, well-tO-do.
Several witnesses testified to seeing her

circumstances which led some good Sama-

They who designated the site and laid
the foundation for the future capital of
Texas-living in an iron age though they
were-were, unconsciously to themselves,
the poets of the epoch. Had the aesthetics
of the old and new worlds been summoned
into consultation, no fairer spot could
have been selected. Picturesquely poised
upon her throne of hills-like the queen
that she is-she sits a sceptered monarch,
girdled by the golden Colorado, as it rip
pies to the sea, with the misty-topped
hills strecting far away into the back
grotnd. All in all, it is picture limned
by the deft hand of Nature herself, which
appeals strongly to ones sense of the sub
ime. A site so favored must have been

In a convrsation with Mr.. Howell
Brown, Deputy inspector from New Mex
leo, who has charge of the business at I'll
Paso, learn that he proposes to enforce
the inspection law to "the letter" He
gives it, however, as his opinion that the
cattle from that part of Texas north Of
the Texas g. Pacific railroad and west of
the timbered country, will be admitted,
while eastern or southern cattle will be ex-
cluded. While neither Mr.. B. nor any
other conscientious inspector can, for OBJ
yious reasons, make promises in advance
as to what cattle will be admitted, yet l
can safely say to all interested that they
will find in Mr.. Brown an honest, efficient
officer, as well as an accommodating,
clever gentleman, and l give it as my
opinion that where cattle are brought
from high, healthy location, and known
not only to be free from disease them
selves. but free from the ability to trans
nit it to others, that Mr.. B. will permit
them to pass. On the other hand Iwoulo

Austin has always besn the
SEAT OF REFINED HOSPITALITY,
such as has given it a distinctive place,
even among its more pretentious neigh
bors. 1t has borrowed enough from the
east to save it from the charge of provin-
cialism, and it has retained enough of its
old, unstrained courtesy to rescue it from
frigid mannerism. The resultant of the
two, is a refined, easy courtesy, which per-
petuates the best of both. 1t is safe To
say that no one ever received other than
gentle treatment in an Austin home, who
deserved its hospitable offices. But, while
this is true of the capital city of Texas, il
is equally true that it is the sworn enemy

three things. When Dick won he put his
winnings into his pocket without a word or

the stake raked up without the least emo

nearly every time. The luck was dead
against him from the beginning. And. this
circumstance afforded him a certain salts

THE GRAND JURY

Concludes its Work and Presents
it's Report to the Court.
To the Honorable Ralph North, Judge Eleventh
Judicial Distri.t:
We, the undersigned, comprising the
grand inquest Of the State Of Mlssis-
sippi, in and for the county of Warren,
at the March term, 1886. of the circuit
court, beg leave respectfully to submit
this, our final report:
We have been in session (21)
twenty.one days, including the day Of
our empannelling, and this, the day of
making our report.
We have examined (225) two hun
bred and twenty five witnesses, and
have found (53) ffty-three true bills
of indictment for various crimes. In
(8) eight cases we have failed to find
sufficient evidence and have ignored
them; 60 five other cases we have re-
ferred to the next grand jury.
We found (93) thirty-three prison
ers in the county Jail, all Of whom
have had our careful attention, except
two, charged with murder, William
Young and William Alexander. In
three we could not get the witnesses,
and have referred them also to the
next grand jury. We also found
two lunatics (colored women) in
the jail, which we think should
be sent to the State lunatic asylum
A great many unimportant cases have
been sent to us by justices Of the peace
and the city court, the examination of
which consumed much time, that
might have been given to matters Of
more Importance, and we suggest
where these courts have the power
they dispose Of such cases, thereby
saving much time and expense to the
county and State
We visited the county Jail and found
everything clean and in good order,
the prisoners well clothed and clean,
the food given them plantiful and Of
good wholesome quality. We sug-
gested to Mr.. Vandenburg, the jailer,
to ask the board of supervisors for
some trifing conveniences, but we
have nothing to recommend in the
management of that institution.
We sent a competent committee to
examine the poorhouse, who found
twelve inmates well clad and plenti-
! fully fed. everything in good order
and doing as well as could be expect
ed. Want of time prevented our Wis
iting the city public schools.
Before closing this report we desire
to return our thanks to Sheriff Wor-
) rell and his efficient baiIiff for the
t very prompt manner in which they
have served our suhpenas and procured
witnesses. and also to thank Mr..
Winchester, the district attorney, for
his uniform courtesy, advice and at
tention. Nor must we foget our
i bailiff MI. Blue Auter for the faithful
performance Of his whole duty.
In conclusion, we will state that we
; having discharged u duties concien-
tiously and to the best of our ability
J respectfully ask that we be discharged,
this, the 9th day of March, 1886.
