New YORK, March 21.-A lady who
has recently returned from wedding

held with Mrs Grover Clevelsnd about
how she came to marry the ex-preei-

long were you engaged to the president
before you were married." Mrs. Cleve-
land laughed and blushed and said: ''Oh,
there are the most ridiculous stories told
about us, but honestly they are hardly
as funny as 1t really was. Uncle
Grover proposed to me five times
before | accepted him. First. when
l was Ia. and / just laughed
at the idea, for he seemed 80 much old
er. Then again, two years later, when
went to college; and the third time
when he was elected governor of New
York. | was by no means ready to
marry anyone, and he let things 90 for
a year, or until he was nominated for
the presidency. Then he asked me
again, and again l refused. At last he
was elected and ] promised to marry
him in year. OF course always liked
him better than anyone else, and | al
ways meant to marry him some day, but
I'll own the White House had some
thing to do with hurrying it up

A GOOD APPOINTMENT.
Admission News.

huIIslou NGNS
News was received in the city yester-
day that President Harrison had appoint
ed our fellow citizen, A. r. Nininger,
Esq, to the position Of Marshal of the
Northern district Of Alabama, instead Of
Marshal Austin, resigned
This news was received with pleasure
by Mr.. Nininger's host of friends in this
city No better appointment could have
been made in the entire state. He is a
cultivated gentleman, modest, unassum-
ing, yet as true as steel to his convictions.
He has been resident of Alabama for
six years and has never entered a s ram
Bile for office. He has been a property
holder in Alabama for twenty years and
feels deep interest in the development
of our natural resources. For the past
few years he has been engaged in the real
estate business in Admission, and no native
born Southern man could have worked
more earnestly for his state and section
than Mr.. Nininger.
Alabama has not suffered during Presi-
dent HarrisOn's administration by bad ap-
pointments, and the selection of so ell :
giant gentleman as Mr.. Nininger will do
more to pOpulariZe the National Admin
istration in this state than anything that
could have been DONE
While differing with him on matters Of
politics, we unhesitatingly and warmly
commend his appointment He is a re-
publican by birth and conviction, and is
in no sense a ''spoils hunter" He is a
thorough business man and under his
administration the affairs of the Marshal's
office of the Northern District will he dis
charged as honestly and conscientiously
as if in the hands of the best democrat in
the State.

Of course l must admit that with

it wou d be hard matter for it to be
otherwise than cheerful.

up to this time they still linger with

want them away because we do not as
some of our young men think that

that one or more Of our sweet young
aides may follow in their pathway
when the hour of departure comes.
One especially seems to have a great
deal of business on the corner of
Washington and Decatur streets, and
another on Dexter Ave next to the

does not seem to fancy his presence
just much as she thinks he might.
A committee of citizens jis now ac-
lively engaged in trying to find some
Way by which they can secure means

Rev. DIR. Whorton of our city gav4
lecture at the colored normal uni
versity on the evening Of the 18th to

Curtis and Porter. quite an enjoya
BILE affair it was, each fellow had his

THE MISSING BROKER.
Relatives of B. D. Whilden Think He
Was Drowned Near Decatur.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, March 19.-There
are no new developments in the mysteri-
GUS case of B. D. Whilden, the missing
broker. His family and friends still be-
lieve that he was drowned in the Tennes-
see river near Decatur, and men.are now
employed in dragging for his body, al
though the great heighth of the water
and the raging current make the task
very difficult and hardly probable of sue
cess. His life was insured for $4,000,
but all theories as to possible disappear
ance in order that his family might get
the insurance money are mere theories
and not borne out by the circumstances.

THE Manchestery( (Eng.) Courier does
not understand why it is that, while Brit
ish war-ships cost only $500 ton, Amer
lean vessels cost more than $500 a ton.
The cause of the big difference NAV
readily be pointed out. American ships
cost more than British ships because they
are worth more. This is fact which
British naval officers know, if British
newspapers do not.
