For the SPECTATOR.
Cupid's Triumph.

Our wide awake little village was quite a.
stir ON the evening of the 18th instant. There
was a sound of wedding bells in the air. 1t
was the occasion of the marriage of Mr.. G. E.
Waugh and Miss Nora Palmer.
A number of their friends had decorated
Trinity church very prettily, and promptly at
8 o'clock the bridal party entered the church
to the well-known strains of Mendelssohn's
Grand Wedding March, which was rendered
by Mrs. A. H. Steele
The party formed under an arch made of
beautiful evergreens and illuminated by
twenty one WALLPAPERS representing the age
of the bride. From this arch was suspended
handsome marriage bell. There were ferns
and potted plants in profusion arranged
around the pulpit and altar.
The attendants were Miss Molie Palmer
with Mr.. Clarke; Miss Hattie Palmer with
Mr.. Hounihan; and Miss Clarke with Mr..
Waugh, brother of the groom. The BRIDES
gown was white silk and lace Miss Mollie
Palmer wore white, Miss Hattie pink. and
Miss Clarke white All carried handsome
bouquets. They were met at the altar by
Rev. Mr.. Freed, who performed the ceremo-
ny.
As the bridal party wended their way out of
the church, about midway they were pelted
with shower of rice, which was very ingen-
iously arranged in silver slipper hidden in
the Chandelier, and which, by the touch of a
ribbon unseen, was showered upon the heads
of the happy pair.
The crowded church was an evidence of the
! esteem in which the sweet girlish bride was
held After partaking of refreshments at the
home of the bride, the entire party took car
riages for Staunton, where they boarded a
train for Norfolk and Old Point. The best
wishes of the community attend them.

StoneWaII jackson Camp.

On Monday night there was good meet
ing of the Stonewall Jackson Camp
of ex-Confederate Veterans, which was graced
with the presence of some ladies.
The meeting was presided over by Comrade
Capt Thos D. Ransom.
After the reading of some interesting com
munications by Comrade Capt. T. c. Norton
Inspector of Confederate Camps, Miss Cornelia
l.. May, daughter of Comrade Geo. w. May,
and Instructor of Literature and Elocution at
the Virginia Female College at Roanoke, re-
cited in fine style the piece entitled 1.-THE
Prince"
The camp was then entertain ed by interest
ing remarks by Maj. Alex. Hart, Capt. I. G..
Morton, Col. J. G. Shields, and Maj. Jed
Hotchkiss after which the routine business
of the Camp was attended to.
Comrade Rev. w. @. Hullihen informed the
Camp of the fact, not generally known, that
Col. J. C. Shields had been made Brigader
General Just before the close of the war, and
that his title was that of General and not that
of Colonel as generally supposed.
1t had been announced that Rev DR.. G. W.
Finley would be present to relate some inter-
esting war "reminiscences, and his failure to be
present was quite a disappointment to many
who were DESTROYS Of hearing him.

English Officers erenaded.

Last Thursday night at the Eakleton Hotel.
at which they were stopping, the Stonewall
Brigade Band serenaded Col. G. f. R. Hen
derson of the Royal Military Staff College at
Chamberley, England, who, accompanied by
Captains Byng and Fortescene of that College,
called here to see Maj. Jed Hotchkiss, topo-
graphical engineer, who could give him in
formation in reference to the battle fields of
Stonewall Jackson which he is visiting, being
an admirer of that distinguished Confederate
General. After several pieces by the Band
Maj. Hotchkiss thanked the Band for the
compliment they paid his guests, and then
introduced Col. Henderson who gracefully
expressed his appreciation of the compliment,
and spoke in terms of praise of the Band and
of the character of Gen. Stonewall Jackson,
whose name, he said was a household word in
England as in this country, and that he was
ranked with the military heroes, Wolsley
and Nelson of England

ROMANCE.

The rapidly increasing circulation of Ro-
nance shows that lovers of good short stories
appreciate the reduction of its price, and that
they recognize its constantly improving liter
airy quality. The September number offers
ten admirable stories for a dime. Its special
feature is a group of three Stories of Journal
ism. The first of these is realistic sketch of
a newspaper mans career from the clever
pen of Hamilton Ormsbee, himself member
of the craft. The second describes the Modern
Girl as reporter, and is by Helen Churchill
Candee. The third is a capital humorous
take-off, at the expense of the to- date inter
viewer. A charming love story by Florence
tale of hypnotsm by Frederic Ernest Hol-
man, thrilling account of Russian adven-
ture, and several other stories equally good,
make up a well balanced and most interesting
number. Romance is issued by Romance
Publishing Company, Clinton Hall, Astor
Place, New York. and copy is sent for 10
cents.

Since the passage of the Tariff bill.

Since the passage of the Tariff bill,
with it's large reduction of the duty On
tin plate, the impending investment of
large sums of money in new tin plate
factories has been announced in press
dispatches from Pittsburg and else
where. The reduction which cuts the
duty in two does not appear to have
dealt a staggering blow" to those who
already have invested or who desire to
invest capital in such factories. The
duty under the tariff which the Nc
Kinley act superseded was 1 cent a
pound; this was increased by the Nc
kinley law to 2 is cents pound; the
duty under the new tariff is 1-5 cents.
The addition of is cents to the old
duty by the Mckinley tariff has cost
the people of the United States more
than ST. ZOO, 900 in the increased cost of
imported tin-plate.-N. Y. Herald.

in endorsing the decree of Bishop Wat
terson. excluding liquor dealers from
Catholic privileges, only desired to
signify that the Bishop did not exceed
the limits of his official power in issu-

SPEECH OF REV. SAM SMALL.

This prohibition orator delivered a speech
in the front of the court house here last Mon
day to very large audience. Members of all
the political parties were prese nt-Democrats,
Republicans, Prohibitionists and Populists.
Many Democrats came expecting to hear Sena-
tors John w. Daniel of Va, and Roger @.
Mills of Texas, neither of whom could be here,
much to the regret and disappointment of the
Democrats Mr.. Small spoke for an hour and
half in adverse criticism of the Democratic
and Republican parties, and in laudation of
the Prohibition party, interpreting anecdotes
in illustration of the points he made. He was
more impartial in his criticisms than many
expected, who had thought that he would
confine his assaults to the Democratic party.
He would assail the two old parties alternate
ly He would assault the Democratic party
to the delight of Republicans and its other OPP
ponents. then he would pay his respects to the
Republican party in like manner, to the de
light of the Democrats and other opponents of
the Republican party, and thus he alternately
pleased and displeased all parties, and made
his speech interesting throughout by his elo-
quence and anecdotes. He said that the
liquor-interest held the balance of power in
both the old parties ard that it elected the
one or the other at its pleasure, as its interest
at the time dictated-hence the necessity, he
maintained, of the Prohibition party.
Aside from this his chief criticism on the
Democratic party was that it had failed to ac-
complish tariff-reform to the extent it had
promised to do, in consequence of the action
of few in the Senate. The protection policy
of the Republican party he said, was destruc-
tive of the interests of the people, which, if
carried to its logical conclusion, would place
the whole country in the condition of the
South during the war when all commercial
intercourse with other countries was cut off,
aud we were confined to the home market.
He gave little ''taffy'' to the Populist par
ty in the way of praise of its personnel, but
ridiculed it for its feebleness, and inability to
accomplish anything.
Neither Harry Tucker Jacob Yost nor Ed
mund R. Cooke, he said, should be elected to
represent this district, but some good Prohibi-
zionist.
Tucker he said, had done nothing, which
shows that he is not familiar with the record
of that gentleman; and Yost, he said, if elect
id, would do as the Republican party wanted
him to do, and that was not for the interests
of this people. He said the sale of liquor in
this city was the cause of the raping and mnr-
der of Lottie Rowe by Lawrence Spiller, and
concluded with an imprisoned appeal to his
audience to vote for prohibition, because it
was right whether they would succeed or NOT.
