JEFF DAVIS WEDDING.
He Did Not EIope With His Wife, as Has
Been Reported Recently.

He Did Not Elope With His Wife, as Has
Been Reported Recently.
Major John F. Edwards, secretary OF
the Veteran Association. is one of the
few people who are familiar with the
details and circumstances surrounding
the first marriage of President Jeffer-
son Davis.
A few days ago he was telling a
group of friends about the wedding,
denying that it was a runaway match.
as stated in an article that has appeared
in a number of papers recently.
THE fact is" said Major Edwards,
President Davis married Miss Knox
Taylor with the full consent Of her
father, General Taylor OF course.
there were surrounding circumstances
which, unexplained. would make the
story of a clandestine wedding very
plausible You see, General Taylor
did object to his daughters wedding al
first, but not because this prospective
son-in-Iaw was President Davis
Il don't know exactly what his rea-
sons for opposing Miss KnOx's mar
rage were, but suspect that he was
simply 10th to part with her. for besides
being his daughter she was beautiful
and most charming woman. Anyhow, JEFF
Davis and Miss Taylor were united under
my grandmother's roof. after General

Sylvia! Sylvan There was lady
painting at an easel.s but she did not
answer. Sylvia, darling. don't you
see l have come back TO you?''
This did not reach Mr.. Walters ears.
But he did hear u bitter cry as if of
pain, and then a sound of stifed sobs;
it was a strange greeting to pass be-
tween long severed, still hopeful low
ers.
He stood painfully drumming on the
window for awhile, until he heard a
hasty rush of feet across the landing
and down the stairs. The heavy front
door opened with a jerk and closed
with bang. and he saw his latevisitOr,
with pale, stricken face. hurry across
the street and enter the house oppo-
site. Then he thought the best thing
he could do was to take his hat and go
TO the British Museum without disturb
ing the ladies.
I'm so extremely sorry" he said
that evening at dinner, glancing from
his wife. who had evidently been cry
ing, to Gwen, who was duieter than
usual, I'm really vary sorry that Gwen
had not a kinder welcome to give to
her old FREUD. He seemed to me a
good sort OF man, and was much in
terested in what he told me of his love
story. He was so sure you would be
glad to see him. Can't you think it
over a little, Gwen, and give him a diff
ferent answer tomorrow? L really
liked him. I'd 90 and call on him with
pleasure. Shall l, Gwen? Will you
not let him come again, Gwen?"
"He didn't come for Gwen at all, i"
sobbed out Sylvia, desperately. Il
ought to have told you about it. only l
didn't like to. Gwen wouldn't have
thrown him over if she had made all
the promises did,"
Mr.. Walters looked again from Syl-
via to Gwen, and from Gwen to Sylvia.
"How terribly sad"' he murmured.
Perhaps she regrets"
Perhaps she does, said Gwen; "but
it is a great deal worse for Prince
Charming. Poor Prince Charmingn'-

Taylor had written his daughter giving
his full consent and asking that the
ceremony be performed at her home.
One of the stories that went the rounds
was that the young people eloped to
/ Tennessee to be married, and that
General Taylor never fOrgave them u5-
til long time afterwards. when a
reconciliation was effected upon Mex
lean battlefield That's all bosh. Cen
ecal Taylor gave his consent to his
daughters marriage with Mr.. Davis,
and it was only after it had been OBJ
tanned that the ceremony was per-
formed.
Il was a very small boy at the time,
but my mother and father who took ac-
| tive part in the arrangements, often
talked of it to me afterwards. My
grandmother was a sister of General
Taylor, and the marriage took place at
her home. Beachlawn. in Jefferson
County, Ky, at the special request of
General Taylor, who was at the time
stationed at Prairie Du Chen. and was
on that account prevented from being
present
The stories about the runaway mar
riage arose. in part, from the fact that
Mr.. Davis had applied for a license. and
was refused by the county clerk, who
was acquainted with General Taylor's
objection. He refused the license be-
cause of the age of Miss Knox Taylor,
claiming that she was too young. As l
have said, General Taylor was away
from home. but he had written TO my
grandmother, giving his full consent,
and requesting Captain Allison, his
brother-in-law, to furnish all the neces-
sary funds and look after the details
generally On Mr. Davis second ap-
plication to the county clerk for the
license, my father, Frederick G. Ed
wards. accompanied him to vOuch for
the young lady's age.
well, after this the wedding came
off quietly, at my grandmother home,

witnesses were Colonel Hancock Tay-

Townsville people Sunday night while

risen about half mp to the 'nith, and was
shining brilliantly through great tx
panse of the kind OF cloud known 20 mete-
biologists as GIRO cumulus. The cloud
was very thin one, and the light coming
down through it produced a maguifcent.y
perfect rainbow. The cloud was moving
slowly and changing in density al the
while. These changes produced various
and striking effects in the rainbow.
At fret it was complete semicircle,
then whole circle like halo, excsp,
there were all the rainbow cOlOrs perfectly
distinct and in regular cOncentric circles
Then the feecy cloud became ritted ari
banked itself up on one side Of the moon,
