A Young Man Who
Was to Be Married
Last Week
Arrangements Were Made
To Meet the::Bridegroom on The street
and Tbea 60 Ia the Parsonage
lie Wasn't There.

There is story going the rounds about
town concerning something that hap.
pened, or rather didn't happen, in Ger.
tain circle of society recently, that has
given those who were into the Joke an
opportunity TO have good laugh at the
expense OF their friends.
IL appears that there was to have been
wedding and it did not take place, the
reason OF which is somewhat a matter of
conjecture. Both the bride and groom
to be were rather young to be entering
the matrimonial state, but that did not
deter the bride from giving up position
20 become wife.
The date for the wedding had been de-
cided upon as Saturday evening and all
arrangements had been completed for a
big time at the celebration OF the nup
tials. Friday the young couple were seen
promenading in the face of a good sized |
snow storm, but since then they have
not been seen together and the wedding
did not take place.
The ceremony was to have been per.
formed at the home of the pastor of the
church to which the young lady had been
regular attendant as,neither had rela.
tlyes here and they did not feel like i'm.
posing too much on their friends. A
large number of friends of the couple had
oeen invited to come to the home of one 1
'ot the brides intimate friends and from {
mere they we're to meet the groom to be I
and then proceed TO the parsonage. For II
some reason, which remains to be learned. s
Cne groom was not to meet at the brides G
'Hends home, but was to wait at the u
street corner for the party and then oro.
'ceed TO the PASTORS home with the rest of
ane party. At the appointed time the u

The Age Of Niagara.

Now that they have harnessed the
Falls Of Niagara to all kinds of fac
tories, a scientific gentleman has been
calculating how long the river and ia
nous sheet Of water will last. There
Is. It seems, no cause for immediate
anxiety. In the first place, he has
found out that the River Niagara is
only thirty-two thousand years old,
and the Falls are a thousand years
younger. Supposing. secondly. thar the
destructive action Of the water goes
on at its present rate, there is reason
to fear that in another five thousand
years the falls Of Niagara will have
ceased to exist. When someone ob-
jected to the proposed withdrawal Of
the water from the beautiful Falls Of
Foyers In Inverness-shire, an ingeni-
GUS person replied that the Falls would
remain, only there would bs no water.
The reverse will be the Ease at Mag
ara. There will be plenty Of water
but no rocks for it to fall over.

Edwin Arnold's Marvellous Memo

Edwin Marvellous Memory.
At the Walt Whitman fellowship
dinner in New York recently Mai. J..
B. Pond, speaking Of a visit which he
made with Sir Edwin Arnold to Walt
Whitman shortly before Whitman's
death, said: 1--WE had a very pleasant
chat, and as we rose to go Walt Whit
man presented to Sir Edwin and to
me a volume of his Leaves Of Grass
that had just been republished. I
opened the volume, which, you know,
is Of several hundred pages, and began
reading aloud a random line. Sir Ed
win stopped me. Let me 60 on from
there said he, and he took up the line
and without a break recited the whole
poem. Try me anywhere said Sir
Edwin. l did so, and not once, no mat
ter how obscure the poem, did he fail
to give every line Of 1t correctly, l
wonderingly following him with the
book before me. That is the way I
know your poems,' said Sir Edwin to
Walt Whitman. when he had finished
the test"

BEST STOCK FOR ORANGES.

Replying to an inquiry as to the
best stock for oranges, in response to
the request of the Florida Agricultur-
ist, Mr.. A. II. Manville, of the Glen
St. Mary (Fla.) Nursery Company
says:
The sour orange is, in my opinion
by all odds the best general purpose
stock for oranges (as well as lemons
and pomelos) in this state because
of it's comparative immunity from
disease, its ability to resist adverse
conditions, and its great vigor.
On the other hand 1 regard the
sweet orange as the least desirable
of the stocks in use for oranges and

THANKSGIVING.

President Cleveland has issued his

is as follows:
The people of the United States
should never be unmindful of the
gratitude they owe the God of Ma
tions for his watchful care, which
has shielded them from dire disaster
and pointed out to them the way of
peace and happiness. Nor should
they ever refuse to acknowledge with
contrite hearts their proneness to
turn away from Gods teachings and
to follow with sinful pride after their
own devices.
To the end that these thoughts
may be quickened, it is fitting that
on a day especially appointed, we
should join together in approaching

THE BATTLE is OVER.

The great political battle is over
and our people can congratulate
themselves, if not upon the success
of their favorite at least upon the
ending of a contest that has for
months paralyzed business and turn
ed the attention of our people into
channels that led to excitement and
caused neglect of duties and bust
ness.
VIM. Mckinley of Ohio is presi-
dent-elect, and it is the duty of every
American citizen to make his adj
ministration success, and to do
their share in making our country
greater, better and more prosperous.
Both parties in the contest made a
noble fight, and no one can doubt the
sincerity of our people. Of course
where the parties advocated differ
ent measures one must have been
right and the other wrong, and in
any event, to quote the words of the
defeated candidate, Mr.. Bryan, in
his congratulatory message to Mr..
Mckinley, "the issue was submitted
to the American people, and their
word is law"
Political campaigns are necessary,
