The bar of Justice in Washington
countY's magnificent temple Thurs
day evening last was for few mo-
ments transformed into a marriage
alter, when Mr.. Louis @. Grimm. of
Austin county, led into Justice
Curry's presence, Miss Henrietta A.
Saager, of this county, beautifully
attired in full bridal costume orange
blossoms, silken tresses, soft and
sleek, with witching look and tinted
cheek-combined with an air Of re-
fined gentle grace and sylph-like
form that caused the charmed groom
to look happiness from orbs that
sparkled with admiration for her.
In the presence of few specta-
tors, Justice Curry in his usual
graceful manner performed the cere-
mony that mingled into one the
lives and destiny of the happy couple
who the reporter trust may always
be as happy as they looked upon
this occasion.

Rather Late for Jacobinism.

LONDON, Oct. % 1t seems rather late
period for Jacobinism to find expression
in Great Britain, but it appears that the
house OF Stuart has some adherents yet.
At a meeting in the quaint old town of
st. Ives, Cornwall, somebody argued that
any stray descendant of the late preten-
der's family should be hunted up and put
on the throne, and moved a resolution to
that effect. Thereupon the mayor of ST.
Ives, who was present, moved an amend
ment to the resolution expressing devoted
loyalty to Queen Victoria The amend
ment was carried amid great enthusiasm

General Miles Wants 100, 900 in Camp
During 1893.

During 1893.
CHICAGO, Oct 2S-At a meeting of ma
tional guardsmsn from all parts OF the
country here yesterday and presided over
by Judge Adams, of Arkansas, a member
of the national committee on ceremonies,
General Miles, who has been detailed by
the secretary of war to take charge of the
military features of the Worlds fair, sug-
gested that during the exposition two big
encampments should be held in Chicago.
Far the dedicatory ceremonies in 1879, he
proposed an encampment of 10 900 or 10
600 men. "But in 1898" General Miles
added, "when the great exposition is in
full blast, there should be encamped in
Chicago at least 100 90 men," This senti-
nent was vigorously applauded
Programme for the Troops
General Miles continued: THE first
few days of this grand encampment
should be given to inspection, and this
inspection should be made by competent
men appointed by the president of the
Jnited States. After the inspection such
N anoeuvres should be gone through with
as BELTS an army of America All of this
would constitute grand display, but it
would at the same time bring together
100 600 citizen soldiers who could show
themselves aud the world what they
would be able to do in case of war" The
general said that the national government
should pay the expenses. His suggestions
were adopted.

That Hand Grenade Episode-Opinions of
Experts Differ.
The ParneIlite cause is in danger OF gen.
eral condemnation unless the leaders of
that faction promptly repudiate Monday
nights attempt to blow up The National
Press at Dublin with a dynamite bomb.
As yet there is no word from the Parnell-
lite leaders on the subject, and their press
organs yesterday were silent. 1t is report
ed that they are debating among them
selves what position to take regarding the
outrage, whether to condemn it or remain
silent. The event is doing great damage
to the cause Of home rule. British opin-
ion is hardening against the Irish and
the Liberals themselves show signs that
they are losing patience.
Red-Hot Political Sermon.
The sermon preached last Sunday at
Kilkenny by Father Fidelis. of the Order
of st. Francis, is much commented upon
here and elsewhere. Father Fidelis upon
that occasion, bitterly denounced the late
Charles Stewart Parnell, saying that
Ethe most depraved monster who ever
livedn was snow swept off the face of the
earth" The reverend gentleman also said
that the women who were supporting
him were climbs of the devil, and that the
local working mems club was "syna-
gogue Of hell"
Michael Davitt and Kilkenny.
Michael Davitt has wri item to the Nc
Carthyite committee of Kilkenny ac-
cepting a nomination for John Pope Hen
nessy's seat in parliament, provided the
Parnellites put up a candidate; otherwise
he declines. as he prefers to stay out Of
parliament for the present, believing that
he can do more for the cause In that
way.
