Portable fortune for himself in Portland.
Christian determined to spend his forty-fifth
birthday in his native land and bring back
Morse bride He is fine specimen of the
among the fjords of his country just
the woman whom he thought would
make him happy in his Western home.
So afer stay of three months in
Norway he found himself on June Goth at
ChrlStlanSand on board the Thingvala,
heart whole and a bachelor, bound Tor his
Western farm. Christian is man of good
appetite, but at his first dinner he could eat
but little. Opposite him at the table was
his fate" Miss Betty Dahl, young woman
Of 33, about to visit America. She was in
charge of Captain Lamb, commanding the
vessel AS Soon as dinner was over Chris
tlan asked the captain to introduce him to
his ward, and things went smoothly from
tile 1rst and so quickly that the captain,
who is used to sudden gusts, had his breath
taken away when within twenty-four hours
the ardent Christian asked leave to propose
marriage to Miss Betty. That evening
the other passengers were informed by the
captain that Christian and Betty were en-
gagged. Some one had some myrtle leaves.
and with them wreath was made
for the bride-elect, AS is always done In
Norway. and the betrothal was carried out
with all proper ceremonies on board the
steamship. Within another twenty four
hours the couple wanted to get married,
but there was no parson on board, and the
captain, not caring to officiate, persuaded
tue couple to wait till they reached here.
There was no time lost when the vessel
did reach her pier at Hoboken yesterday

Mayor Stanton of Hoboken, and asked him
to marry the couple There were great
preparations for the wedding on board the
Thingvalla, and by O'clock the saloon was
bright with flowers. The Mayor was
punctual to the minute. amd neither bride
nor bridegroom dallied. 1t was a brief
ceremony. Then every body congratulated
Mr.. and Mrs. Skow, and sat down to the

quaint wedding. Every body kissed every

Three ships masts were erected near by,
and to them were made fast all the usual
rigging, after the model of the royal ship
Hela at DanZlg. The ground was pOughed
round these masts, and nets were stretched
so as to moderate the dangers of princely
falls. Here the present Emperor received,
under naval officer, daily drill in the man
agement OF ships running and standing
gear.
Between the mock ship and the open
place for gymnastic games thers was a
target for practice in sharpshoOting, and,

Palace he and mis- royal companion and
several cadets constructed little wooden
fortress, surrounded by deep bitches and
armed with tiny cannon which fired blank
cartridges. Throughout the summer this
fortress was stormel daily under the leader

torn down by email royal hands and was
replaced with the Prussian colors

tents, build fires and cook coffee and pota-
toes over the Goals. Pickets were stationed,
scouts were sent out, and sometimes earth
works were thrown up. At o'clock in the
afternoon Castle Linstedt was stormed, and
all sorts of sweets were carried off as the
booty of the cOnquerors.
Finally the little army of cadets, led by
Prince William, and the fleeing garrison,
under Prince Henry, arranged an armstice
to last till the following day, and all the
young soldiers marched back to the New
Palace to be reviewed by the Crown Prince
and Crown Princess.-N. Y. Sun.
