WEDDING GUESTS ANGRY.

JEFFERSONVILLE,1 Ind, March s. -
strange story comes from North Vernon in
regard to a wedding of two prominent So
ciety young people of that place, whose
names are withheld. Invitations were sent
out and number Of guests from this city
and Louisville attended. AT the appointed
time guests, bridesmaids and minister were
on hand ready for the ceremony. After
waiting some time, the pater familias arose
and announced that as the wedding had
taken place in Jacksonville two weeks be-
fore the guests would have to be disap-
pointed. This surprising statement caused a
great deal of anger and one young woman
seized her present and refused TO allow It
TO be kept. Before any more could be taken
back the parents removed them to a place
of safety. and the disappointed audience
retired in a very bad humor.

THE CUTTER E A WRECK

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, June Z, 1S94.-A
despatch from one of the officers of the
United States revenue cutter Bear says she
is fast ON the rocks at the entrance of the
harbor of Sitka and is almost a total wreck,
and possibly by this time is battered to
pieces.
The cutter was p%longhing her way into the
harbor at good speed on the night of Maya 20,
when she struck on a rock, and all efforts to
get her relief were unavailings She 9 on
at high water, and the officers state that they
nave very little hope of ever getting her off.
Her stern was the part to suffer most, and
the despatch says that her rudder, propeller
and sternpost were gone, and in a
sea the vessel must surely break up
as it would he impossible for her to stand
any amount of pounding on the jagged points
of the rock on which she rests.
The Bear Eleft San Francisco about six
months ago to join the Behring Sea feet to
protect the seals. In her hold she has about
two hundred tons of freight for the naval
supply stations at Point Clarence and Point
Parry, and if it is lost the cutters will neces-
sarily be short of supplies unless another
vessel is sent up with the necessary cargo.
No lives were reported lost.

ALL EUROPE UNDER ARMS.

After the dreadful Franco-German wal of
1s70-1871 the principle of prolonged military
service and of diminished annual contingents
was given up. Tn monstrous principle of
universal service was adopted instead. By
this principle the whole nation is under arms.
A country is no longer a country, a people is
no longer a people, a nation is now nothing
out an army, and a country is only a bar
rack. Everybody wears the uniform.
Everybody is sur Ie qui vjGe. 1t
wal breaks out today all professions
become deserted, all functions abandoned;
the life of the nation stops so that nation
al activity may be sid to begin again
only with the blood that is shed. Moreover,
before two hostile armies, that is, two Ia
lions which are enemies, join in combat, each
of the two armies, that is, each of the two
infinite hordes which traverse their several
countries to meet eventually on the field of
battle, will leave behind it a country in
famine, its factories silent, and its trade
paralyzed. Again, enormous stocks of food
supplies must be accumulated ON the
frontiers where the two armies are likely to
meet; but before reaching these inexhausti-
BILE magazines the armies must be fed while
crossing their own territories, and that re-
quires money. So, that, before even the first
gun is fired, each army will have expended
enormous sums and left in its train towns
and villages stripped of men and beasts, the
cities in famine, the country without a single
tiller of the field.-McCyure'S for June.

AUGUST IN KENTUCKY.

In August the pale and delicate poetry of
the Kentucky land makes itself felt as silence
and repose. Still skies, still woods. still
sheets of forest water, still iocks and herds,
long lanes winding without the sound of a
traveller through fields Of the universal
brooding stiffness. The sun no longer blaz-
ing, but muffled in a veil Of palest blue. No
more black clouds rumbling and rushing up
from the horizon, but a single white one
brushing slowly against the zenith like the
lost wing of a swan. Far beneath it. the sill
yer breasted swan, using the cloud as his
1ordly parasol. The eagerness of spring
gone, now all but incredible as having ever
existed; the birds hushed and hiding; the bee,
SO nimble once, fallen asleep over his own
cider press in the shadow of the golden
apple. From the depths of the woods may
come the notes of the cuckoo; but they strike
the air more and more slowly, like the clack,
clack, clack of a distant wheel that is being
stopped at the close of harvest. From the
whirring wings of the locust there lows one
long last of abandoned sound, passing
into silence. All nature a vast sacred goblet,
filling drop by drop to the brim and not to be
shaken. But the stalks of the late flowers
begin to be stuffed with h%urrying bloom, lest
they be too late; and the night-hawk rapidly
mounts his stairway of fight higher and
higher, higher and higher, as though he
would rise above the warm white sea of
atmosphere and breathe in cold either

A GULF CITY.

For at least two generations in the past,
and for as many probably in the future,
Philadelphia must essentially be regarded as
two distinct and separate towns. PoIiti-
cally there is but one, but from all other
stand points the two towns of which I
speak might as well be grouped about the
north and south poles. And yet the gulf
which separates these two places is but a
fairly wide thoroughfare-Market street it is
called.
On one side lies the new town of Philadel-
phia, with its wide avenues, magnificent
homes-generous and modern in its every
outline. On the other quite peacefully
rests the old town OF Philadelphia,
with narrow streets, old brick houses,
and shrouded in the conservatism
which gave the city its individuality two
hundred years ago.. The new town has the
money and progression OF a modern Western
city, with the boom still On. Its men are
ambitious, and spend their money alike on
trolleys and cables and new club houses.
But old Philadelphia does not fancy rapid
transit. 1t prefers walking, or an occasional
ride on the horse car. If it has thrown aside
the shadbelly coat and the wide-brimmed
hat of It's Quaker ancestors, it cannot alto
gether free itself from the blood which ran
through the splendid men who once wore
these quaint clothes. -Hdfper'S Magazine

ON FOREIGN TRAVEL.

The only part Of a trip to Europe that
needs to be thought out carefully before one
starts is the journey by sea. At sea far
more convenient than the traditional steamer
trunk are two large valises, one to hold re-
serves, such as fresh linen, extra shoes,
gloves, etc. the other, articles in constant
use. There is no room to unpack. And
people generally go without things rather
than sit down on the floor, pull their
steamer trunk out from under the berth,
and dig down into it, with the ship rolling
and ~lurching, and they themselves going one
way while the trunk goes another. There
will be little drawers in the cabin to hold
toilet articles, and there will be a hook on
which to hang a pinecushlon, a very
high rack for small articles not IN use, and
big hooks for gowns. And that is all.
Everything else, one needs can be put into
the valises, which can be lifted up II open
ed on the sofa, and got at easily and convent
entity Even shoes are not out of place
among daintier things if they are each put
into a linen or pongee pocket: At sea one
needs precisely what one would need for a
weeks journey on land. With the addition
of a yachting cap or felt hat-hoods are not
so much seen on the ocean greyhounds of to-
day2warm hannels, no matter what is the
| season, and an extra supply of wells, one
| should put in a pretty silk waist or blouse to
wear at dinner. Fruit, a box of stuffed
pruneS, OIL SaIteQ Almonds, OF MallldruS dclu
bonbons for seasickness-any of these
things are nice to send to people who are
going to sea; and an excellent provision to
| lay in, if one is likely to be very seedy, is
two Jars of Park & Tilford's clam broth,
which is very strengthening, and can often
be taken when one can support nothing else.
But, on the whole, it is better not to take
the. sea too seriously either. Seasick tradi-
lions had their foundation in the old days
when Dickens and the travellers of his time
took twenty-four days to the crossing in i'll
| smelling, badly ventilated ships. Com
p~aratively few people suffer much in the
large, airy boats Of today.-Hafper's Basnr,
