II" poieed the Wedding.

"The recent departure of the Grena-
der Guards from Bermuda did not cause
many regrets among the Islanders"
said well known Bermudian Who Is on
Il visit to New YORK. Though the
officers Of the Guards are the cream of
the British military, they and all other
swell soldiery have fallen into dlsrepUte
down there owing to the treatment one
of Bermuda : most popular young ladies
received.
when the officers of the Guards had
secured their entree into The best island
society this girl fell victim to the blind
god, and everybody, from Gibbs Hill
Lighthouse TO st. George, was glad to
hear that a big wedding with an officer
would result. The prettiest of trous-
seauN was secured ut New \ ork and all
the arrangements for the ceremony
were made with great elaboration. The
bride father is rich and Of social posi-
ton, and the affair was to be memorable
IN the social history Of the islands.
The night before the wedding the
bridegroom gave farewell dinner 10
his bachelor friends. In the morning
he was gone. A ship that had weighed
anchor during the night was supposed
10 have carried him off. He left no
word and at first there was wonder.
1T was the first time such q trick had
been played on Bermuda belle, and it
was something the natives could not
forget. Gradually indignation arose
which came to manifest itself in social
Indifference to the entire body Of sol
dicry. That was why no tears were
shed when the guards left Bermuda. -

Battle with Il Bald Eagle.

When the car of prof" Arthur
Cleveland's balloon finally rested on the
ground yesterday afternoon he
stepped ont of the big wicker basket
and fell fainting in the long grass of the
meadow. The professor is balloonist
of only one years experience. He is
engaged to make two ascensiOns during
the present week for the edification Of
the rustlcs who are expected 10 attend
the fair at Colchester. Cleveland is a
man of n, and has made numerous as
tensions. Yesterday afternoon he de-
cided to 90 up about a mile for practice.
About > o'clock he entered his car and
began to shoot upward. 1t was a perfect
day, with scarcely a breath of air stir
ring. At the side of the basket flut-
tered q red bandana handkerchief
WhiCh the Professor had tied there for
some unnamed purpose. He had as
cended about 5000 feet, so he SAYS,
when he saw huge bird flying swiftly
toward him. As it came nearer the
Professor saw that ii was Il big bald
headed eagle. The bird flew about the
balloon in circles for few minutes,
the aeronaut watching 1t with curious
interest.
Finally, with peculiar cry, the eagle
sWooped down toward the car and
caught the red handkerchief in his
leak. He held on, too, and in the
scarce stirring air he BEGAN to drag the
little balloon slowly away with him.
TINS did not suit the Professor. Pick
ing up a stick that lay in the bottom of
tlt ear he dealt the bird heavy blow
@cross the beak. With a cry the bird
flew away, and then plunged at the car
and got between the ropes. As the
