A Tia wedding

Col. and Mrs. 9. r Nelson cele-
brated the tenth anniversary Of their
marriage by tin wedding on Mon
day the 2lst, and all who were
present--and they were many-went
away feeling grateful to their hosts,
Tor most delightful evening.
The presents-all in regulation tin
were study for variety, elegance,
and ingenuity; and the wonder grew
that so much could be expressed in
IN; each present expressing the
kindly feelings of the donor, and
silently uttcring a wish for the con-
tinued happiness of the bride and
groom of decade
The affair was particularly notice
able for the simple elegance, and
quiet refinement that marked it.
To the guests it was an evening Of
genuine enjoyment characterized
rather by its soothing restfulness,
than by the extraV agant pleasure Of
the ordinary party or ballroom.
The bride and groom held recep-
ton, and greeted their many friends
and guests with stately courtesy, and
after a time they were invited
to partake of the wedding feast, !"
which was all that could be desired.
A bevy of Woodville's prettiest
girls were walters, dressed charm
ingly as French grissettes, and
certainly no prettier sight has ever
been seen here. Jupiter and the
Immortals we're notmore delightfully."-
served on Mount Olympus, and
Hebe herself might hesitate to con-
test the palm of beauty with these
Woodville Mattresses
To the elder guests the surround
ings added zest the younger gentle
men feasted mainly with their eyes.
After supper there was some fine
music, and as the clock hung upon
the stroke of twelve the guests de
parted, feeling that it was well fol
them that they Fad attended the til
wedding of Col. and Mrs. Nelson

-sS-OSs-
Under the head of "Strange Pro-
ceedings" the Courier of the 18th
inst lifts up its voice in lamentations
over the action of the B. of S.,
anent the publication of their pro-
ceedings. Out of the bowels of this
lucubration we extract the following
which is as notable for its grammar
as for its imaginings:
as this justice not only to us, but
the taxpayers Of Wilkinson county?
"Now, we have nothing against
Capt. Lewis or any member of the
Board; but we would like to ask the
question, what are the Board of
Supervisors for. We were always
under the impression that they were
the axis on which the business of the
county would move, and that their
object and aim was to curtail the
expenses of the county. But their
action in this matter does not look
much like it, through our glasses,
but 'PER CONTRA "
I he Sentinel man was the lowest
bidder man and as he did not get
the printing wants to know SIS this
justice to us, ETC."
We can hardly imagine what would
be exact justice to the Sentinel from
professional stand point, but as to
the tax payers we are very positive
that the Board would have done them
a gross injustice had it Accommodated
the Sentinel in this matter upon any
terms whatever
1t is gratifying to know that the
"we" of the Sentinel thas nothing
against Capt. Lewis or any mem Der
of the Board " We will just take
the liberty of remarking, however
that, if 1--WE" had something against
Capt. Lewis and right smart of it, it
would not matter a continental, -
and we have a shrewd suspicion that
the members of the Bosrd of Super
visors would take the same view OF
it.
AS to "what "are" the Board oil
Supervisors for?" The Sentinel
evidently does not know; of one
thing thing however the Sentinel may
be certain; "the Board" is not in
the plural number, it is lone.

SOOTHING SYRUP THEORY.

The radical and honest prOhibitioniSts
who deDrecate high license as greater
menace to their measure than low IL
cense or ever the free sale. are not al
together unreasonable crankS in their
notion. The soothing syrup theory that
high license is the half-loaf and all that
can be had by the wOuld-be eXcluSloniSt,
is impressed upon many very earnest
ana sincere people. 1t is III question
ably true that the number of saloonsls
proportional to the taxes imposed upon
the business in the way of license. High
license closes UP most of the small deal
erS. and enables those continuing to add
10 the attractions of their bibulous re-
sorts. There are in st. Paul now many
more Of the tony, firSt-claSS saloons,
places where men of taste and style
find pleasant resorts, than there
were before the high license
era. Here is where the prohi-
bitiOnistS make a point on the
half loaf theorists. Some of the rough
ness of the traf1i" is ahated, but 1t may
be questioned that any real progress
toward the aims of the prohibitlOnlSts
is had. Pennsylvania has a law that
effects more in a restrictive way than
even the largest eXactiOnS in the way OF
license. A court or board regulates the
number of licenses, and has very mod
est notions of the needs of the COM
munitieS. Some of the cities do not
have half the number of saloons found
in places where high license is the only
rule. 1t will be noted that in Washing
ton Vice President MORTON was re-
Quired to make affidavit that the accom-
mediation of the public required the
issuance of the license. 1t is said that
only one other applicant met the same
fluent success, all Others being hung up.
This is probably due to the requirement
that only persons of exalted worth
and the most exemplary personal ehar-
acter shall be granted the monopoly.
The efficacy of high license, then, 1t
may be insisted. is rather in the cheer
full financial flow it induces into the
public eXchequer. This an eloquent
perSuader to the average taxpayer. The
reduction in ndmher and restrictions
commonly attendant upon high license,
are not essential features of that SyS-
TEN. As an economic measure high
license has potent attractions. but as a
temperance policy it furnishes scanty
nutrient to theories. Some adyant-
ages in the direction of regulation usu-
ally 90 with it. But the largest results
in the way of diminishing the evils of
the traffic may be realized in compelling
purity of liquors and bringing moral
precepts and suasiOn to bear upon the
individual.

THE FALLEN MONARCH.

The proverbial ingratitude of repub-
lies did not materialiZe in the conduct
of the Brazilian revOlutiOnists, who vol
UNFAIRLY conferred life pension on old
Dom PEDRO as a mark of the personal
esteem in which he was held by his late
subjects, and as testimony of their APP
probation of his services to the country
over which he had ruled for more than
half century. 1t was very graceful
performance on the part of the revolu-
tionists and did great deal towards
establishing the new government in the
confidence of the people of Brazil. The
usual practice when a monarch is de-
throned is to set him adrift in the world
to be dependent on his own resO lrces
or the charity of sympathiZing dynas-
ties. But there was feeling
among the Brazilian revOlutionists that
Dom PEDRO deserved better fate than
usually befalls men of his misfortune,
and the consideration that has been
shown him is a tribute to his character
and personal worth that no other fallen
monarch ever received. His dynasty
has passed away, but he lives as much
in the hearts of his people as when he
wore crown. The public recognition
of this fact by the provisional govern
ment is gratifying assurance that the
new republic possesses the elements of
stability. There is nothing so great as
magnanimity TO fallen foe, nor. so
strong an evidence of self-eonfdence.
BY their generosity to Dom PEDRO those
in control of the new republic have pro-
claimed to the world their confidence in
the perpetuity of the government they
have established. Esto perpetua.

A FEW FAULTS.

There are some incidental difficulties
found in the forms of ballot reform
adopted that come nearest to what is
the distinctive Australian system. For
instance, in Massachusetts the candi-
date died or resigned after the official
tickets were made up, and as there was
no provision for putting on a new
name, the candidate of the minority
was elected. In Missouri it is discov-
cred that the requirement that party
should have cast 3 per cent Of the vote
at the last previous election to entitle its
candidates to place on the ticket, will
exclude both the Prohibition and Labor
parties. This would be serious objec-
ton if there were no way to remedy
it; but, no doubt, one will be found.
The requirement is excessive. 1t would
be impracticable to load the ticket with
the names of the little factions, but
a much more moderate require
ment than three in a hundred of
the former vote should be had.
The Massachusetts ballot has blank
spaces where the names of any other
candidates can be written. This should
always be the case. 1t is the privilege
of the individual to vote for men of his

A HOPEFUL sign,

In spite of the purchase of votes in
Some localities in New Jersey at the re-
cent election, there is, on the whole. in
that state encouraging evidence of the
decadence of the power of money as a
political factor. The Republicans NOM
mated for governor a Philadelphia
millionaire, who had acquired a nomi-
nal residence in the state. He was will
ing TO pay an enormous price for the
Office. and metropolitan manipulatOrs
believed that the Doodle could be made
to pervert the popular sentiment and
give the state into their hands. The
ambitious Philadelphia man put up tens
of thousands of dollars, and other inter-
ested parties swelled the total to an i'm
mense sum. The source of their con-
fidence is explained in this. But
the voters could not be bought
in sufficient number. They gave
the Democratic ticket the largest major
Ity for many years. Since the election
quarrel among the boodlers as to the
disposition of the money has brought
out some of the facts. In one county,
out of $4,000 placed where it was
thought it would do the most good. it is
now alleged that but 500 was applied
to the purpose intended. The rest was
lost in the shuttle. 1t is threatened that
legal proceedings will be had to recover
it from the men who put it into the
wrong pockets. But this would uncover,
too much and will not be pressed. The
law would not recognize the right to
use money to corrupt voters. Men en-
plOyed to bribe others may find it need
full to pay themselves literally to pre-
serve their political integrity. This
