Pauline, the fifth daughter of Chief Justice
Fuller of the United States Supreme
Court. This highly educated and very
beautiful young lady, who has only seen
her nineteenth summer, was married bya
Justice of the Peace, in the parlor of the
Kirby House, Milwaukee, Wiooo~o;~ IN
the night of the goth inst, to Mr.. J. Matt
Aubrey, Jr., of Chicago. Justice Gregorz.
who tied the knot, did not know that the
bride was the daughter of the Chief Justice
until after the ceremony had been per-
formed. The Chief Justice opposed the
match Notwithstanding the fact that he
was the happy possessor of eight beautE
tul, manageable daughters.
The Washington Post says: "Colona
John c. Calhoun, the recently elected
president of the Southern Society of New
York, is well known in this city, where
he has a number of relatives. His father
was the son of the great South Carolina
statesman of the same name, and was ONE
of the largest shareholders in the South
OF course the war ruined him, and when
it was all over he and his son gathered
the shattered remnants of their fortune
together and went to the metropolis to
remain there. They succeeded fairly well
and now they are both powers in New
York social and political life. Everyone
calls the bluff, hearty, goodlooking young
fellow Colonel but he really has al
claim to the title, as he was too young to
participate in the late disturbance.
"A Washington correspondent says
among the select sixteen ladies of dig
tinction that have been chosen to lead IN
the dance at the approaching grand cen
tennial ball in New York, April Both, are
Mrs. Cleveland, Mrs. Harrison and MIRA
Hayes. All, or nearly all of the Others
are ladies of distinction, and connected
directly or indirectly with some of the dis
tinguished leaders of the Revolution. But
we notice that none of them are chosen
from the South, where, we suppose AZ
much good Revolutionary blood remains
as at the North. Some such decendantE
no doubt, might have been found in Viz
GINA, Maryland and North Caroline
ladies of as noble birth and accomplished
manners as any in the country. But the
select committee of 400" couldn't see it.
and, we suppose, didn't care to see it, and
selected the whole sixteen from the
North"
1t affords THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER
great pleasure to note the many evidences
of enterprise and progress which are
manifested by many Of our North Caro-
lima towns. Charlotte, Concord, Fayette-
vile, Goldsboro, Greensboro, New Berne
Oxford, Salisbury, Raleigh, Wilmington
and Winston have been greatly aroused
Nearly all Of these places have taken
practical steps looking to the material i'm
provement of their business interests
Most of them, besides having recently in
troduced many modern improvements
such as systems of water-works and sew
erage, telephone service, electric lights
street-car lines, etc.-have organized
boards of trade and industry and are at
work establishing factories and new in
dustries Of various kinds, which mus
prove of great benefit to all. The State
certainly has never before known so great
a business "boom;" and if the spirit con-
tinues. and it seems to be on the increase
rather than the decline, there is a brighter
day for North Carolina not very far in
the future.
The Central Express says: "The Char
lotte Chronicle has very properly called ito
readers attention to the fact that Senator
Ransom voted for the Direct Tax bill to
empty the Treasury of several million dol
lars whereas Grover Cleveland vetoed
it and Senator Vance voted against it
Ransom with the Radicals and the raiders,
congenial company" In the late Demo
cratic Legislative caucus in this city, In
seconding the nomination of Mr.. Ransom,
a member from the East related, how,
when on a visit to Washington City, two
years ago, Senator Edmonds spoke to him
of Senator Ransom in the very highest
terms, and said he could get almost any
thing he asked at the hands Of the Senate;
and the speaker positively had the affrent-
rey to urge this as a reason why the
General should be returned to the Senate.
| Senator Edmonds of Vermont, be it re
m~embered, since the death of old Thad
Stevens, has been the most relentless OF
all the haters of the South.
