The Gill-Gwynne Sensation.

We have had what may be called an
encore union of w. Fearing Gill and
Edith Olive Gwynne, sister of Mrs.
Cornelius Vanderbilt. There have been
accounts published of their formal
union as well as the unceremonious
coupling which preceded it. Everybody
knows that they announced themselves
married some months ago, and that
the lady developed a doubt about it,
whereupon they remained separate I'M
til the recent church wedding. / am
able now TO tell about the first and
mysterious marriage. Gill was making
call on Miss Gwynne. They had
been acquainted ever since he induced
the late William II. Vanderbilt to in
vest money in a cheap cab company,
which eventually went bankrupt. They
agreed that they were in love. He pro-
posed marriage. She said that her rela-
tives would object He tried to make
it clear how easy it would be to disre-
gard their opposition.
"For instance" he said, "place your
hand on this Bible with mine. Now, Il
take you TO be my wife. You say, i
take You to he my husband" and she
obediently did so. "Now we are mar
ried, he declared.
Nothing more Was said on the sub
ject, and she regarded il as a Joke but
when he called again he urged that the
ceremony was valid, if she chose to re-
gard it so, and she assented. There
upon he made public announcement
that they were husband and wife. But
the Vanderbilts wouldn't have it so,
and it WAS in Difference TO their wishes
that more formal ceremony has been

COlOrs that Harmonize.

Orange and yellow accord incompar-
ably better than red and orange.
Black never produces a bad effect
when it is associated with two lumin-
Gus colors.
Green and blue produce an indiffer-
ent effect, but better when the colors
are deep.
Blue, when placed by the side of
orange, increases the latter's intensity,
and vice versa.
Green and violet, especially when
light, form combination preferable to
green and blue.
Red and blue accord passably, es-
pecially if the red incline rather to o
scarlet than a crimson.
When two colors accord badly to-
gether it is always advantageous to
separate them by white.
While gray never exactly produces
a bad effect in its association with two
luminous colors, yet in most cases its
assortments are dull.
Red and yellow accord pretty well,
especially if the red be purple red,
rather than scarlet, and the yellow
rather greenish than orange.

Religious Obligations of Mohammeda

Formerly every pious Mussulman
was required to pray fifty times a day.
Afterward forty-five prayers were
struck off.
Another of the daily duties of Mus

to be washed first.
Followers of Mohammed are required
to give in aims daily one-tenth of all
they possess.
Mohammedans endeavor yearly to
make a pilgrimage to the four sacred
spots of Islam. The pilgrim is counted
very holy man.

Whether Mr.. Cleveland has been re-
quested or not TO identify himself in
any way with the contention in New
York over the Mayoralty of that city,
we are not definitely advised.
He has signidcd to the public no
preference as between the respective
candidates of Tammunv Hall and the
County Democracy, and so long as two
or more Democratic candidates remain
entered for the race, il is not probable
that he will declare for either. or even
interfere TO the extent of reading his
divided party homily on their folly.
Political contests in the city of New
York are for the most part of an intensely
personal and partisan character and who
ever takes sides in n stirring municipal
canvass there, whether he be President
or private citizen, must of course commit
himself to one or other of the tickets in
volved.
So far as the Chief Magistrate of the
Government is concerned, it is not Mr.
Cleveland's duty-it would be u compro-
mise OF his dignity; it would forfeit the
national respect which the dignity of his
office naturally commands, for him to
enter the lists as the spokesman or
champion of any one Of the gentlemen
who may be presented aS II candidate for
the chief executive office of the city Of
New York If the different Democratic
factions of that city haven't the common
sense to understand so plain proposi-
tion, it Is high Tune that they were made
to understood *.
1t may be urged that the President was
friendly, and SO publicly expressed him
self, to the election of District Attorney
Fellows, as against a confessedly Repub-
lcan candidate. There was nothing i'm
proper in the eXigencies of such a cam
paign That he should express an opinion
in favor of the substantially united Dc
mocracy; but if now the Democratic
party Of New York, in a spirit of local
Jealousy and resentful rivalry, chooses
TO split itself up into warning factions, the
best, the most honorable, the only thing
that Mr.. Cleveland, as President, of the
United States, can do, is to keep his hands
off.

Judge Thurman contrived to get safely
home, although at one or two points he
found himself corralled by his Demo-

TO the conclusion that the wisest thing

ability TO perform the duties of the Vice

"Daniel," remarked the President this
morning, in malarial tones as he looked out at
the heavy gray sky and pressed his hand upon
his liver.
"Yes, sire" responded Daniel, lugubriously.

Fit past me on tho floor.
The autumn skies are clear above,
But silent is their song;
oh spirit of the ohangeless love,
