A friend Of the senior Senator from Ken

Not long ago Senator Beck went out TO
visit his son, who lives ON a ranch in Min
ncsota. The nearest railroad station WINS
twenty miles from the place. and he had
great difficulty in finding conveyance.
lie announced himself TO several persons
~ James H. Beck, the United States Sena-
tor, hut no person seemed impressed by il,
aud money was no object TO cart owners.
At last hc struck an old fellow who had
horses and wagon, but who, like all tho
others, was not inclined 10 let them 20.
The Senator offered him $40, and finally
so, but IL was no use.
ITS very hard" he said, III have not
seen my son for long time. lie lives
only twenty miles from here and cannot
get there"
What is your sons manner" asked the
old man.
''Jim Beck" was the reply.
Great Lord!' exclaimed the old man.
AM you Jim Bccks iather?"
Yes, air, am."
well, certainly, you eau have the team.

DIR. w. @. VAN BIBBER, OF Baltimore, in
q paper written by him on 1.-THE Proven
ton of Yellow Fever in Florida and the
South" which was read last December
before the Baltimore Academy Of Medi-
cine, argues that continued cleanliness
is the best safeguard against yell
low fever that the advanced doc
trine is mo germ, no yellow fever; that
town in an unsanitary condition is liable
TO an epidemic Of the disease whenever
the germ is brought there, and that any
place may be kept yellow fever proof by
cleanliness" To insure such cleanliness
DR., Van Bibber prescribes the following
ing "1o abolish the system OF board
fenced yards and pits and sinks; to pave
with hard, clean payements under the
houses, which are TO be built well up of
the ground on arches or piers; to keep the
towns clean according to the enforced
changes which such n style Of building
will necessarily bring about TO place
quarantine prominent, and so alter the
way OF conducting il as to make ii at-
tractive, and at the same time, through it,
TO keep constant vigilance as 10 tho in
PRODUCTION Of the yellow fever germ and
the isolation Of the disease"

ton. In the middle of the apartment
stood table, to the decoration Of which
the horal kingdom had contributed its
choicest blossoms A solid bed OF lilies of
the valley covered almost its entire sur
lace, while the edges were framework Il
azaleas and white pinks and white roses,
exxquisitely and ingeniously arranged.
Above them hung marriage bell Of vast
dimensions, constructed OF white camelias,
ana surrounding the whole veil OF white
gauze. The guests, who revolved around
the table during the evening like an end
less chain OF richly attired humanity, some
times forgot their appetites in admiring the
beautiful work OF floral art before them.
Mr.. HILLS GENEROUS HOSPITALITY
was never so abundantly tested as last
night, but was equal to every draft upon
1t. An army OF workers were in atten-
dance, who glided through the jammed
rooms like shadows, and provided for
every want with surprising CELEBRITY.
Dainty viands, delicious ices and sweet
meats OF all descriptions were served to all
who came, and champagne flowed from a
iount that seemed 10 have no bottom. At
s o'clock the bride, tastefully attired in
mole colored surah travelling suit with hat
to match, and leaning on the arm OF her
happy-looking groom, picked her way
through the gay attired crowd that
thronged the stairs, exchanging at every
step fond farewell with some near friend.
One enthusiastic lady took off her satin
slipper and threw il after her. AT the foot
OF the stairs the bride was claspcd in the
tender embrace OF her mother, and after q
farewell kiss to her father, she disappeared,
while the scene OF merriment was still at
its hight.
On the lower floor the younger element
were dancing the moments away TO the
tuneiul strains OF Arnold's band, with oc-
casional intervals OF adjournment TO the
cooling fountains above.
ONE OF THE PLEASANT EPISODES
OF the occasion was the presentation to
each Of the bridesmaids OF a small satin
bag, matching in color the dress she wore,
and inclOsing neat gold bracelet as q
souvenir OF the occasion.
The guests were proiuse in their express
sions OF admiration OF the taste and sys-
TEN which marked every detail, aud were
unanimous in pronouncjng Il the most
brilliant affair ever known in Memphis.
THE MULTITUDE OF PRESENTS,
which attested the popularity OF the bridal
couple, were grouped in room by them
selves, and crowded the apartment to its
utmost capacity. A fair idea OF the ex-
tent OF these tokens may be formed by
the statement that there were rs many as
POO pieces Of silver, twenty-odd statuettes
in bisque. ten in bronze, 200 pieces OF
hand painted Seyres china ware, sixteen
pieces in cut glass; four clocks Of costly
design, and any number OF handsomely
framed etchings, engravings, card stands
and other pi ccs Of drawing-room orna-
ments. The bridal couple were munif.
Gently remembered 10y their friends.
