Marriage OF Judge Chri.mnn.

Judge J. b. Chrisman and Mrs. NJ. T.
Charlton, were married in this city yes
terday evening at the home of the
bride.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. Doctor Hunter, of the First Pres
bytcrian Church. Outside of the fam
lies of the contracting parties, there
were only present Governor Stone aud
En- Governor Lowry, Captain and Mrs.
Buffalo. After the ceremony the
dining room doors were thrown open
and the happy party gathered around
a most hospitable board and enjoyed a

life to Judge Chrisman, who is one of
the ablest of our circuit judges and of
commanding presence, is known be-
yond the confines of the State as a
Just, learned and fearless official, and
withal Christian Clarion
Ledger, May f9th.
IL had been rumored here for some
time past that the Judge was contem-
plating a matrimonial alliance with a
fair lady at the Capital, but the date
of the important event was all un-
known. His legion of friends and adj
mirers in Lincoln mingle their cordial
congratulations with those elsewhere
on the consummation of so happy a
step. If it be true that none but the
brave deserve the fair" the title of our
distinguished friend to his lady love
can never be successfully contested.

POISON BY THE TON.
Men and Girls Engaged in Preparing
Arsenic for Use.
From the London Graphic.


The celebrated arsenic works on the
lamar, in England, are the remains of a
once famous copper mine. For twenty
eight years it proved the richest mine in
the country.
The lode then gave out, and the mine
would have been abandoned as worthless
had it not been accidentally discovered
that it was exceedingly rich in arsenic.
Copper is still produced in the mines, but
in comparatively small amounts, and is
dispa tched to South Wales, there to be
smelted.
The material bought up from under
ground is crushed in a machine called
the stone, breaker, that resembles a huge
pair of jaws. which literally chews up
the stone till it has reduced its propor-
tiOns sufficiently to pass into another
machine, the crusher, wherein il is
pounded into pieces about the size of a
walnut The material is now conveyed
in barrows to the dressing floors. and
each barrow load is turned out and
washed in running stream that car

n, a whales Belly.

A correspondent who says that he once
spent three-quarters OF an hour In q
whales belly thus relates the strange
sdventurei The good ship Europa, ON
which sailed as cabin boy, was an
obored of the coast OF Lower California.
We had taken number Of whales and
were at work trying the oil ont Of the
blubber cut from the whales lying along
side. TO get at the fat inside the whales
we were cutting off the ends Of two or
three ribs and hosting them up from the
whales body.
This left an opening large enough for
Q person TO crawl into the whale and
strip on the fat, which was sent on deck
In buckets. We were short handed, and
the captain told me to go down into the
whale and strip off the fat. Boylike, !
jumped at the chance.
/ had not been at work long before
heard one Of the sailors sing out: Pull
the boy out Of the whale. Tho tackle
falls are stranding."
had small monkey rope" tied
around my waist. The other end was
on the vessels deck. At the sailors cry
the captain jumped and grabbed 1t to
pull me out, but 1t was too late. The
tackle fall snapped In two, the ribs
closed together, and I, like Jonah Of old,
was shut up in o whales belly.
When the ribs came together, they
closed upon a toggle or pin used on the
tackle. This pin had come out and
caught between the ribs. Through 1t
small hole for reefng rope had been
bored, and solely by means Of this hole,
which enabled me to breathe, my life
was saved.
All was confusion on the ships deck.
The men dared not use their sharp cut
ting spades to make another incision for
fear Of injuring me. The tears were
rolling down old Captain C--'s face,
One OF the men jumped on the whale,
and l shouted through the hole in the
toggle that was all right. Then there
was great rejoicing. The old captain
jumped ON the whale himself, and with
q small sbeathlsnife cut away at the
flesh until he came to my body.
Great care had to be exercised not to
disturb the toggle, for they knew was
breathing through IT, At length the
hole was large enough for me to crawl
through. and came on deck, sick and
weak from my experience. - Youths
