Cleveland on Matrlmony.

ATLANTA, July IA letter from
President Cleveland, in which he
speaks of his married life as "one
grand, sweet song," has been brought
to light by the news of the recent ten
der event at Gray Gables.
In December, 1890, Col. John Tenn
pie Graves, the Southern orator, was
sending out invitations to his ap-
preaching wedding to Miss Annie
Cothran, of Rome, Ga. He sent one
to his personal friends, the ex-Presi
dent and Mrs. Cleveland, who were
then residing on Madison avenue,
New York. Acknowledging the re-
ceipt of the invitation Mr.. Cleveland
wrote as follows:
My Dear Mr.. Graves We received
the card of invitation to your wedding
day or two ago, and l am glad that
your letter received only few hours
ago justifes me, on behalf Of my dear
wife and myself, to do more than for
mally notice the occasion.
And first of all, let me assure you
how much we appreciate the kind and
touching sentiment you convey to us
in our married state. AS I look back
upon the years that have passed since
God in His infinite goodness bestowed
upon me the best Of all His gifts-a
loving and affectionate wife-all else,
honor, the opportunity of usefulness,
and esteem of my fellow-countrymen,
are subordinated in every aspiration
of gratitude and thankfulness.
You are not wrong, therefore, when
you claim in the atmosphere of fast
coming bliss which surrounds you,
kinship with one who can testify with
unreserved tenderness to the sanctif-
cation which comes to man when
heaven-directed love leads the way to
marriage. Since this tender theme
has made us kinsmen, let me wish for
you and the dear one who is to make
your life doubly dear to you, all the
joy and happiness vouchsafed to man.
You will, I know, feel that our kind
wishes can reach no greater sincerity
and force than when my wife joins me
in the fervent desire that you and
your bride may enter upon and enjoy
the same felicity which has made our
married life zone grand, sweet song"
Very truly your friend,
GROVER CLEVELAND.
Col. Graves has kept the letter in
white and gold frame hanging in his
parlor at Manchester. Two years ago
he wrote to President Cleveland for
permission to publish the letter for its
influence upon the domestic life Of the
American people. Mr.. Cleveland, re-
plying, said that although he had for
gotten the verhiage of the letter, &c
left the publication to "the delicacy
and discretion of his friend.

New Point Of Attack.

There was an intensely interesting pro-
ceeding in the Richland county court
house yesterday afternoon, when VIM.
Sheppard was brought before Judge
Townsend to have a hearing upon the
charge Of contempt in violating the order
Of Injunction in the matter of selling IL
uuor in violation of the dispensary law,
passed in his case by Judge Benet in jan
uary last. The penalty is fine and i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary, if the
Judge, in his judgment,lis of the opinion
that the order has been violated.
The hearing was the occasion for
brilliant presentation of Sheppard's Pc
culiar case by Mr.. John McMaster, one of
the shrewdest young attorneys at the
Columb bia bar. Itgave him the opportu-
nifty to bring a powerful attack on the
"trial without jury" feature of the dis
pensary law, which seems to be absolutely
unanswerable. lie opened up his store
of legal research at the very outset and
brought an attack against the law in
point where it has never yet been attack
ed. He sprung questions that will ne
cessarily receive the gravest consideration
from lawyers, whether on the bench or
not, and without regard to their attitude
toward the law. Mr.. McMfaster displayed
great ability in the powerful argument
that he presented in behalf of his client.
Judge Townsend. at the conclusion of the
hearing, which lasted for four hours,
asked for the filing of the points and
authorities, and announced that matters
of such importance had been presented
that he would havo to have sufficient
time to give them his most careful con-
sideration.- Columbia State, June 12.

A Mockery of Justice.

1t is we'll as we go along to keep track
of the dispensary law as it stands. The
following points seem to be settled: =,
A dispensary constable may at his will
enter and search any mans place of busi-
ness or dwelling-house at any hour oi
the day or night and is not responsible
for any damage or disaster resulting from
his visit.
A dispensary constable may shoot any
man, woman or child who jeers at, in
suits or threatens him, he being the sole
Judge of when he is insulted or threat
ened.
BE may kill any person suspected or
accused Of selling Alcoholic liquors who
attempts to escape.
A Circuit Judge may issue an injunc.
ton against any citizen forbidding him
from selling or giving or permitting to
be sold or given on his place any alcoholic
liquors. On affidavit of dispensary con-
stable the citizen so enioined may be

Iryinu TO Save the Pets.

COLUMBIA, July 12.-Attorney General
Barber returned to the city to-day and
he states that he has presented petition
to Chief Justice Fuller asking for the
release of Constable LaFar, now impris-
oned in the Richland jail by order Of
Judge Simonton, for the violation of his
Injunction in the matter Of liquor seiz-
ures.
The petition was presented at Sorrento,
Me-, where the Chief Justice is now sum-
mering, day or two ago. In speaking
of the matter the Attorney General said
that LaFar's case was similar to that of
the other constables and that what was
done in his case would apply to all. He
said he intended to push the cases to
1.-THE last ditch" and even il he got the
constablas out only one day before their
terms would expire he intended to try to
do it.
In speaking further be said: II do
not know whether the constables will be
released or not. There are questions
raised in this issue that we're not in the
Beach case, but it is the purpose Of the
State to have the issues involved in all
these proceedings passed upon at the
earliest possible day. My individual
view is that the question should be set
tied at once and its early settlement is Of
vital Importance. This office is, there
fore, ready to use every effort to have the
Supreme Court pass upon and settle
every issue raised in the proceedings in
the United States Circuit Court which
affect the Dispensary Act, and we are
confident that in the end the Act will be
sustained. Mr.. Barber said that the
State would take every advantage Of any
defect in the bill prepared by Mr.. j. P.
X. Bryan, which had been amended.
Governor Evans, in speaking on the
same subject, said that the State was both
anxious and willing to have the whole
matter settled, and that the State would
second any move that may be made look
ing to the settlement of the question on
its merits.
1t would appear from this that the
application for any order on which the
merits OF the case can be heard will be
seconded by the State authorities. They
seem to be as anxious to be relieved OF
the uncertainty as anybody else.-NeaOs
and Courier.

Of study, and Mr.. Lowell promises to
follow up this paper upon Mars by
another upon its canals and the infer
ences to be drawn from them.
Prof. Asaph Hall, of the United
States Naval Observatory, says that
he can see no reason why Venus should
not be inhabited, as she certainly
seems to have an atmoshere, and that
probably Mercury may also have in
habitants, although as it is 55,OO0,OoO
miles nearer the sun than we are it
would require salamandcrs to stand
the heat, and they would probably live
constantly in hot water. As every
year increases the power and perfec-
tion of telescopes it is possible that
before the end of the century these
problems regarding the capability Of
the planets to support life may be def
nitely settled. = Charleston Sunday

sent to the PenItcntIary for contempt
without jury, without trial and with
out being heard in his own defence or
given the opportunity to confront or cross
examine his accusers.
When the State fails to secure conyic.
tions under the dispensary law in one
county it can apply for change of venue
to another county, to be selected by the
Circuit Judge.
A man who is opposed to tho dispensary
law Is disqualified to sit as juror in pros
ecutons under that law.
Let it be remem bered that these estab-
lished conditions in South Carolina do
not apply only to persons who deal in
alcoholic liquors or have dealt in them.
They can apply against any man living
it tho State. Unless the history of human
government and laws and the tendencies
of human nature are reversed they will
in time be applied to many people as
their powers as means OF persecution and
of gratifying personal malice and serving
political ends are more thoroughly un-
derstood.
There is no country in the world, not
excepting Russia, where the Government
is given such despotic and arbitrary power
and where the citizen is so entirely at the
mercy Of arbitrary force as in South Caro-
lina.-GrccnuHle NeUS

A Losing Dispensary.

SPARTANBURe, S. G., July 1l.-An un-
dispensary failed to pay ex expenses during
the month of June. The failure was not
caused by any carelessness on the part Of
Dispenser Carlson and his clerk. A
scarcity of loose change and the payment
of insurance is one cause of the deceased
sales. Then the Tillmanites of the
County, who have been the liberal pat
rons Of the dispensary, have found out
cheaper way of moistening their threats.
Those living in the upper part of the
County say that they send across the
State line when the camphor bottle gets
low. 1t costs only half as much as dis
pensary mixtures and is much better
than the chemically pure. During July
the sales will not be greatly increased

atmosphere is in that peculiar condition
when it refracts light and shows OBJ

the corner, and bend his telescope.

DUKE AND HEIRESS. COMING WEDDING OF MARLBOROUGH AND MISS VANDERBILT. ENGAGEMENT INTERESTS ALL Lineages compared-BOth are sprung From Strong Men.-John Churchill And Cornelius Vanderbilt
 Sit Side by side-Eead-
 CTS in Their
 Time.
ENGAGEMENT INTERESTS ALI

The news of the day yesterday for all students of history, as well as for all lovers of the doings of the great and wealty. was the an- nouncement of the engagement of the hegreat-grand-daughter ofCornelius Vanderbilt to the descendant in the ninth generation of John Churchill
 conqueror of France, ruler in all but name of England, and the first Duke of Marlborough, says the Philadel- phia Times. The two young people themselves were presumably less in terested in the various reflections which the event will call forth than other people; but there can be little denying that more noteble en- gagement has not been announced in America since Jerome Bonapart told a surprised and excited world that he desired to take to wife Miss Fl zabeth Patterson, of Baltimore
 To begin with, the destination of the great American fortunes is be- coming a matter Of public concern, especially on accountof the tendency of their interiors, when women, to marry foreigners of noble birth which suggests that in few years from now political economists and soeioloSists will probably be study ing some new tendencies which have established themselves in counter balance of this tendency, for it is the inevitable law of human affairs that they prepetually seek to establish a stable equilibrium and never sue ceed And now that an enormous slice Of the Vanderbilt money will go to England to restore and maintain

the State of Blenheim, it begins to look as though it were time for the first indication of reaction to set in.
 But that apart, the contrast and comparison of the great statesman and general of Queen Anna's reign, and the great railroad man of the nineteenth century, is most inter- esting. There is not space to make it here in full, but it has no end of suggestions.
 CHURCHILL AND VANDERBILT
 For Cornelius Vanderbilt is not altogether dwarfed when he is placed beside John Churchill. True, Churchill was much the greater man. Not only had he the advantages of figuring in battle and parliaments and cabinets which provides the whole magnificent pageant of the history of a time for a background and not only was he cast as a chief actor in an epoch of peculiar dignity and splendor-but in spite of his avarice and his time-serving qualities he did have that greatness of soul which distinguishes the few majestic figures in the worlds rec ords. Cornelius Vanderbilt, on the other haud, was scarcely q figure ill history at all, as it is written by the drum and trumpet historian, anaass f)r greatness of soul, if he had itshe was never given a chance to show it. Yet he had one faculty that Marlborough had, and it W as what made him the first master of the science of transportation that the world has seen, and but till the present time the greatest-the faculty of altering and ordering condition according to his far-seeing sense, disregarding the objections and intepositions of smaller-minded men. Vanderbilt in material way, had genius-and genius means imagination. And John would not have been ashamed of Cornelius not by any means. He had most profound respect for money, had John. He took it from women. which is what Cornelius, with his

A SCENE OF BEAUTY
Is Blum's semi-Annual Grand Opening.

When the curtains were drawn and the doors of Blum's Great Empori- ium were thrown open, spectators and pedestrians were surprised to see such a gorgeous display of eIe- gant goods. Your eye is first at. traeted to the large and elegant win dow display One shows an elabo- rate display of evening shades artis- ticalIy draped with trimming, etc, In the other is a beautiful dress goods show with the very latest patterns, which will be much ad- mired by the ladies. From the win dows you are bound to drift inside and gaze with admiration upon the gorgeous display of new and elegant goods. The first to attract your at tention is the ribbon and lace dis play. Then comes the dress goods and silks which are draped into pretty forms on the top shelving. Then a new and elegant display of table linens, and before you recover from the many pretty sights you have seen you find yourself again gazing with wonder on the beautiful array of hats and millinery, which have the touch of an ideal artist. This lovely creation is gracefully pre- sided over by the charming Miss Kelly.
 MT. Blum welcomes all strangers and friends alike So pleasing is his manner that one is as much at home there as in his or her own drawing room. All smiles are blended to- gether from the handsome and cour- teous manipulaters of the scissors to the pretty-faeed salesladies, for they all know they have .eclipsed all previous grand openings.
