Wheelinr, w. Va, Jan. 27.-lcs.

dral of this city. was the briiau,
scene of the wedding of former
Prestoniau, Mr.. John A. Cooke, for.
merly of Howesville, but now of
Cumberland, Md, to Miss Maggie
Riley, one of Wheeling's handsome
and most accomplished daughters.
John was arrsyed in the convention
al black If latest pattern, and his
handsome bride in an elegant and
costly attire of satin. Mr.. George
Cooke was groomsmsu, and wore on
his arm one of Wheeling's bellies, Miss
Lou Schambra. Special music was
prepared for the happy occasion, and
the organ, controlled by master
hand, gave out grand and eloquent
STRAINS that filed the vast Cathedral
from pit to dome.
Another pleasing feature of the
occasion was, that the wedding cere.
mony was performed by Father j J.
Cooke, a brother of the groom, of the
Diocese of Cleveland.
After the church services a grand
feast was spread at the residence of
the brides mother, at which a large
number of invited friends participa.
ted. Mr. Cooke and bride were the
recipients of numerous costly, hand
some and useful presents. Messrs.
Tom and George Cooke, Of your
county, were in attendance, and the
manner in which they seemed to en-.
JOY the occasion and from other in
dlcations which point story" to
the observing, it is but natural in
ference, that other Wheeling bells
will be "to,ed" to old Preston in the
near future.
Mr.. Cooke and his bride will spend
few days under the parental roof
of j. j. Cooke, Esq, of TOWNSVILLE,
after which they will settle down at
Cumberland for happy and we trust
prosperous life. Many congratula.
tions will follow them to their new
home.
FAILURE OF wARTHEN a TGEMAN.
The daily papers have ere this, adj
vised YOU Of the failure of the large
grocery firm of Warthem & Tieman.
The senior member of the firm, Mr..
julie Warthen, is well known in your
county, and the news Of his failure
will create surprise and sympathy
generally. Mr.. Warthen was one of
the most highlyesteemed and ener-
getic of business men in our city,
and the failure which was caused by
the long and heavy credits made
necessary by the protracted strikers,
enlisted the sympathy Of our people
generally. No one doing business

ness, and it has been the greatest
compliment To the business stamina
of our little city, that so few failures
have followed the unprecedent strikes
of the last eighteen months. The
credits that have accumulated upon
the books Of even the small dealers,

mystery to your correspondent how

A Rice PlanfatIo on.

No fairer prospect exists in the VIII ole
realm of agriculture than the landscape Of
awell-appointed rice plantation, whether
viewed in early spring before planting,
with the tawny seams OF its embank-
ments intersecting the checkered squares,
the yellow mold yet steaming from the
pillow, and the whole visible area ap-
parently as cleanly swept and garnished
as a parlor floor; or later, during the
nursery reign Of the fostering stretch
water" each square lake, its wavelets
rippling under the fresh sea breeze, with
the tops Of the young plants immersed
for forcing, in long, waving lines OF
tendrils floating on the water, and the
russell banks, separating lake from lake,
now paths of emerald, their grassy
carpet blowing in the April sun; or Later
still, during the -long water" the entire
landscape one waving sea Of green,
broken only by the crystal ribbons Of
canals and quarter drains; or, finally, in
the full noontide of harvest-ti time, the
level fields, now lakes no more. but vast
stretches of stubble dotted with stacks
of golden grain, as il an army tented
there.
The wheat lands of Dakota are i'm.
pressive, but their unbroken, unrelieved
monotony is almost painful. The vine
clad hills of the upper Ohio are novel
and interesting; the velvety slopes of the
valley Of the Roanoke and Kentucky'l
blue grass meadows pretty and attract
i've; but study of the rice fields of the
Atlantic deltas is simply fasc mating. :

Having heard much Of Boston baked
beans, ] went to q place said to be
famous for them. I ordered a dish. ate
. few, them pushed the plate aside,
much disappointed man. Molasses and
beans baked together In q slice of fat
pork-heavensl There 10 one item of
steady diet here that must strike all
foreigners as most remarkable. The
habit which too many Americans have
of masticating toothpicks ia very dis
agreeable. I've seen Bostonians leave
the dinner table holding toothpicks
between their teeth. I've seen them In
the parlor, talking to ladies, and I've
seen them walking in the street, still
with a bit of quill or wood in their
mouth.
These same persons would scorn to
pick their teeth at table. When silver
of meat happens to lodge between two
incisors, itmust be got rid Of. So up 60
both hands or handkerchief as shield,
and then, with clever finger work, the
silver is removed. This operation looks
very much as if the person was taking
out his or her false teeth under cover.
Clever people ought not to do this; nor
should they sit at table as if in room
where there was corpse. Except for
the rattling of dishes, you would not
hear enough noise in a public dining
room in this country to frighten fly.
It is ever so much better; seated al
able, to enjoy ourselves naturally and
without overmuch of formality. What
With conversation and laughter, a

The Helena Independent In setting
forth the chances for Montana's ad.
mission as q state this session OF cbn-
gress says. ''The returns from WASH
ington territory are still more varying
than those from this territory. While
C.i s. Voorhees, majority was 2, ls2 or
l,526 less than Toole's majority, the
Republicans control the legislature on
joint ballot two to one. In this terri
tory the Democrats have control ou
joint ballot. The fact that the Repub-
licans hold the legislative control on
joint ballot in Washington, precludes
the possibility that the territory can
be admitted with Dakota and Mon
tana, and maintain the political equili-
brium in the senate. Montana is the
only possible basis Of any compromise
that can be made between the senate
aud the house on the admission
question. IL is assuredly Demo-
crat and Dakota certainly Re-
publican. But one of the principal
bars to any action on the subject Is
the division question In Dakota. The
territory as whole has nearly half
million people, but nothing in the
way of stat ehood can be accomplished
until the division question is settled
and that would seem to require the
popular vote for its final determine
tion. While there il no party divi-
sion OF sentiment in this territory on
the admission question, it seems rs If
its destiny Of statehood were wrapped
up in the fate Of Dakots, which is in a
constant wrangle. However, what
ever may be done for Montana In this
matter we trust that one very impor-
tant issue may not be overlooked. and
that Is the segregation Of the Pam
hsndle from the ter ritory of idaho and
annexation to Montana"
