more, lectured most instructively and
entertainingly on "The Origin OF tho
Alphabet and Egyptian Hieroglyphics."
Nj. Hudson illustrated his remarks by
blackboard work, adding to the interest
of his talk considerably. lie drew o
clear picture OF the progress In charac-
tor writing from the oldest Egyptian
hicroclyphics down to the perfect sys-
tenn OF tho present day. Originally pic.
lures were entirely used. and these
gradually advanced. Examples OF this
progress were shown. Tho earliest
hieroglyphics known to-day arc those
OF the fourth Egyptian dynasty. and
strange to say these are perhaps more
perfect thanIater ones. The fairly large
audience who heard the talk felt amply
repaid for their attendance.

House Warming at MI. Jackson.

House warming at MI. jackson.
On April 10Th, there was stir among
the brethren and sisters of the Mt jack
son NJ. L. Church. South, for that was the
day set for the arrival of the new preacher,
Rev. J. S. Porter, of New Market. A
goodly number OF meLhbsrs arrived aud
headed by Rev. J. S. Hopkins, they took
possession of the new parsonage and
when the present incumbent with his two
faithful daughters drove up, they found
the house possessed with the faithful
Mary's and Decreases OF the parish, AMI q
well filled table ready to be unburdened.
After introductions aud hand shakings,
the feasting began and the day passed
away pleasantly and proiitably.
The parsonage is house Of which the
Mt. Jackson people may we'll be proud,
and for which they are indebted to the
untr:ng zeal and unweayering faith of
their former pastor, J. S. Hopkins, whose
blameess life has endeared him not only
to the members of his own charge but
also to all the good people of Mt. Jack
son aud vicinity.
We verify believe that with a ministry
as Mt. Jackson Is blessed the spirit must
continue to manifest itself and bring jo!
to the hearts of many who have never
tasted of Saviour's love, and 50 moye on
until the strong holds of sin and iniquty
will give away under the powerful IN
fuence of the spirit as breathed into the
auditors by trusty, true AMI faithful
servants OF tho most High God.
Truly, ALPHA.

Kelleher Meen1,

The Seattle, Washington, Post of Aoril
Goth gives the following account of Il
marriage of young lady well-known in
this county:
On Thursday evening the home Of Gen.
and Mrs. G. S. Meem. On Thirteenth and
Seneca streets, Seattle Washington was
the scene of a very pretty function, when
their daughter was married to Mr.. Daniel
Kelleher. The apartments were elabOra-
tely decorated with vines, palms, by
drangeas, hyacinths and roses, and were
Illuminated with candles. No cards we're
issued, and the guests were hidden infor-
mally. Nearly all the ladies present wore
white gowns, making the scene pretty
one. The ushers were Sir. w. Mazyck
Miles. Nr. Josiah Collins, Mr. George
Hyde Preston, Mr.. Herman Chapln. Mr..
Henry F.. Meserve and Master Gilbert
Meem, JIG. As the bridal procession came
down the staircase the orchestra played
Mendelssohn's wedding march. The party
was led by Mrs. Meem and Mr.. +. W.
Andrews, followed by Mr. and Mrs.Cha
Rollins, Mr. and Mrs. Chapman Clarke
and lastly, leaning on the arm of her
father, came the BRIDE looking very beau
tiful. She was sttired in white satin
gown With fall train, cut low in the neck
and trimmed with white lace. She was
enveloped in a largo veil aud wore a
wreath of natural orange blossoms and a
handsome necklace OF pearls, which is a
family heirloom, having been worn by
the brides mother at her wedding. The
bride also carried magnificent bouquet
Of BRIDE roses. There we're no bridesmaids.
The bridal party was met in the reception
room by the groom aud his best man,
Mr. G. Meade Emory, and the brief cere-
mony vas performed by Rev. J. NJ. J.
Beade, S. j., while the orchestra played
subdued music. After the ceremony
salutations and congratulations followed
and refreshments were served. The table
IN the library where the brides cake was
cut was exquisite, being mass of pink
roses with a circle of candles surrounding
the cake. The sherry accompanying the
cake was made at Gen. Mems old home
in Virginia fourteen years ago ana the
bride helped to gather the grapes. Shortly
after the ceremony the newly married
couple departed amid showers of rice and
took the train for the East, while the or
chastra played "Going Back to Dixie"
They will spend several weeks in New
York and other cities, as well as visiting
the brides old home in Virginia. Mrs.
Kelleher is beautiful and accomplished
woman and mas for some time been one
Of the bells Of the smart set in Seattle
society. Mr. Kslleher besides being
prominent at the bar aud in politics is
we'll known to the public, he is equally
popular as club man and IN social
circles.

The Latest SwIndle

Our Pennsylvania exchanges send out
a note of warning ofa new swindle that
has recently been worked there: A man
well dressed, with a business like air,
calls upon persons in the rural districts
and represents himself as a government
detective, with a statement that there
is much counterfeit coin in circulation
and requesting them to show what coin
they had IN their possession. He
would then use a chemical, which wOnld
turn the coin black, declare it spurious
and taken it away, informing them that
another secret service officer would fol
low bin in a day or two and redeem the
coin take away. The victims said moth
ing about It for some time out of fear OF
being arrested for having counterfeit coin
in their possession, ard by this time the
swindler was far away.
