for the Presidents carriage, driven by his
own coaehmau, turned aud drove round
the circle, rsappearlng behind the coupe

| dent kindly accepted my excuses. and my
| absence bad no significance whatever. Ny
| test wishes 90 with him and biz bride"
After some general conversation the sub
| ject Of evening dress was approached. u
drew out the following gem:
There isn't dress-coat in the whole OF
Arkansas"
KIND THOUGHTS FOR DR.. DURcHARD.
One OF the strangest facts connected witt
the wedding is that the Rev. DR.. Sunder'
land has for forty years been the devoted
friend Cf the Rev. DIR. Burchard. When
| the former was younG divinity student
| struggling for an education, Dr. Burchard
gave him helping hand. II VAS more
tangible sort than that given TO President
! CleN e,and. but not less effective.
