From the Kentucky State journal.
The wedding last evening of Miss Minnie
Jansen, daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. Fred. w.
Jansen, Of Monroe street, aud Mr.. Il. II. X ro.
ger, the prominet tea merchant OF Cincinnati,
was one OF the grandest affairs of the kind
ever witnessed in this city. Never has a

OF the altar OF the Church OF the immaculate

II Mr.. X roger isn't now one oi the happiest

The church WAS packed with those wishing
to see the tine-looking couple mated for life,
and though Father McNerney did his part OF
the work in quiet way, the beautiful bride,
srmyed as she was in q costly white lace
dress and veil, was the chief attraction, for
all doubtless has heard OF her fame IA a
beauty.
After the ceremony was over, the bridal
party (Which included four attendants and
two ushers) and invited guests repaired to
she residence of the brides parents, where,
to the number OF fifty, they were regasd by
bountiful repast set by Mr.. Bertsch. All
was gayety until near midnight, when after
bidding all good night, Mr.. and Mrs. Kroger
left in hack for their newl y furn ed home
on Barr street, Cincinnati The presents on
the occasion amounted To several hundred
dollars Bon voyage, Minnie.

The grounds inclosed within the limits
OF Fort Smelling proper is a picture of neat
ness. The fresh young grass is cropped
close. and not a scar leaf or dry twig is al
lowed to mar the beauty of the verdant
plain. From the brow of the bluff that
oyerlooks the river broad macadamized
street winds back towards the western linn
its OF the reservation. 1t lies white, hard
and level between two rows of young trees,
at this time of the year clothed in rich foil
age. Costly ensconced behind the trees are
plain little cottages, models of neatness
and comfort, with curtains of lace shading
the windows and Towering vines clustering
around the doorways. They are all of the
same style of architecture, all the same
color, and all breathe the same atmospher
of comfort. The broad street or avenue eX
tends back nearly mile and half
winding around pleasant hillocks, through
shadowy groves and smiling fields. A
mile back from the walls of the fort
stands the headquarters building. a stiff
two-storied structure, of brick, with bo Id
front and tall tower, in the top of
which is set clock whose bell strikes
the hours in almost sole mn tones. 1t is
here that the chief officers sit and transact
the business necessary to the man agement
OF the department of Dakota. Here are
the headquarters of Gen. Ruger. COM
mander of the department, and each morn
ing as the clock in the tower tolls the hour

OLD GUARD-HOUSE.

1t is here that the men who neglect their
duties are incarcerated and made to suffer
for their wrong doing. Every hour in the
night and every hour during the day guard
passes up and down and around this silent
pile of stone and vines, and over his Shout
der thrown a heavy rifle. There is no
possible avenue of escape for the prisoner.
except through the doorway, and with this
always under the vigilant eye of the sentinel
there is no hope for the imprisoned ones of
going free until they have served their time.
Just across the plateau from the guardhouse
is the military prison, and here are incar-
cerated more than forty men who have de-
serted the service. been caught and SEN
fenced by the court martial to two years of
penal servitude. 1t is long, long building
with windows heavily barred with iron.
The convicts are dressed in blue denims
overalls and blue flannel shirt. During the
summer the prisoners are employed in now
ing laws and clearing the parade grounds of
debris. They take their punishment with
good grace and with a colored handkerchief
of cotton knotted around their neck, a
broad-brimmed SLOUGH hat on their shaven
heads, and a ShOrt-Stemmed clay pipe be-

the sweet peas and morning glorys that he
has planted and nourished' with his own
hands. The colonel is a splendid CONVEX
sationalist and his fund of interesting
stories of military life is inexhaustible and
he never tires of relating them. In his
hands one will not miss feature of the
past that holds even shadow of interest.
VI.
From point on the bluff across the river
from the fort, a splendid view of the post
can be obtained, with its rows of whitened
walls and natural parapets. On the point
of the bluff almost overhanging the river
sits the residence of Col. j. J. Van Horn,
commanding officer at the fort. A neat
two-stored building of brick, that looks
like tower, so thickly are its walls covered
with vines. The view from this point is
one of the finest to be obtained. One can
ook down the valley for nearly three miles
and III the distance the white sandstone
bluffs seem to be clothed with perpetual
SHOWS. Then there is the river
with its islands, and its shadows: then
there are the wooded hills that seem to meet
the skies, and over all the misty veil of blue
and gray. 1t Is an enchanting panorama.
But the day is nearly done and down the
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1886-05-30

the first note of the bugle went down the
vale, startling the slumbering echoes, the
plateau presents scence of activity, and
where few moments ago only the shadows
lay and silence reigned 100 men now stand,
and the rattle OF guns is heard as the differ
ent military maneuvers are practiced.
III.
When one reads OF Fort Smelling he is
apt to connect it with the Indian wars and
struggles OF the pioneers in the early
days OF the history of Minnesota. He closes
his eyes and imagines an irregular fence of
logs and hastily-built earth-wOrks, sur
rounding roughly built houses, whose walls
have already fallen into decay and ruin
through the ravages of time. In this he is
mistaken. Fort Smelling has no particularly
historical interests. 1t never Law for DAYS
and weeks under q siege of bloodthirsuy
redskins; its walls, bastons and parapets
We're never subjected to the rulnouS fire of
an enemy's guns: it has always sat quietly
On the bluff and looked down the river to-
wards the rising sun during all the years
since 1905, when Lieut.. Zebulon Pike, in
his explorations, camped on an island just
below the point where the walls of the fort
now shadow the river, and decided to es-
tablish military post on the projecting
Piohloneoiy. Ltduen HALL mas never pat
tered against its unfeelng walls,
and the shrieks of the wounded
and dying have never disturbed
its almost solemn quietude. In 1855 the
guard house was built, and it stands now in
the center of the esplanade. A high, round
building of stone, that would have been a
cone if the builder had carried his idea out,
but ne seemingly brought his work to close
before his plans were complete, In the
sides are windows long, narrow. covered
with iron bars set deeply into the heavy
walls that are nearly three feet in thickness,
and through the wide door an observer from
the outside can see nothing but mass of
impenetrable darkness. Over its whitened
walls the clinging ivy creeps and robs it, in
measure, of its grim and foreboding air.
The guard-house is study. 1t is built of
thin slabs and stone, and it's walls are COW
cred with coating of whitewash. 1t al
ways gives the impression that it holds Sc
crets equal to the terrible mysteries of Ne
ro's torture chamber, and one can well i'm
| agine that an 'Iron Mask" might once have
been imprisoned behind its bars and doors.
1t is the pet of sketching clubs, and during
the summer when the ivy is the richest
and its walls the whitest, artists flock to
the front to try their cleverness on the
