QUEER WEDDINGS.
OCCASIONS WHEN ODDiTY WAS AN
IMPRESSIVE FEATURE.

Freaks Who Have Been Joined In We'd
lOck-Many Cases of Marriage by Proxy.
Welded by Phonograph - Symbolical
Marriages of India.
The conventional idea of wedding
does not agree with the tastes of some
people, and OCCASIONALLY very eccentric
and sometimes romantic marriage cere-
monies are solemnized. Men and wom-
en- entirely opposite in disposition and
character frequently unite in the holy
bonds of neutrality-suspicious. much
to their mutual regret. This peculiar
fact, it would seem. also applies to oddi-
ties of human nature. In many Of the
travelling shows the freaks who help to
draw money from the public intermar-
ry, and it is not an unusual thing to
find the fat man welded to the skeleton
woman and the tattooed man 70 the
bearded lady.
Mrs. Hannah Battersby, who one
time toured the country as a fat wom-
an, was married to Pennsylvania
man, and it is stated as a curious fact
that no sooner were they married than
she began to lose flesh and he to gain
it. His weight increased SO rapidly that
he soon took to exhibiting himself as a
fat man. An exception to this rule of
contrast, however. was Colonel Glover,
the giant who stood feet z inches. He
was welded to Martha Peabody, the
American giantess Several years ago,
when they appeared in public together,
they used to receive as much as $3.50 a
week.
The Italian consular agent at Cincin-

formed, the marriage being by proxy.

Pas.enr nnd silkwnrms.

A disease broke out among the silk
worms of France in 1853 which threat
ened to ruin the business. In 1858 a
government commission was appointed
to inquire into the cause Of the evil and
suggest a remedy, when, by the labors
of Pasteur, the disease was found to be
due to microbes developed in the bodies
of the silkworms Pasteur was fortunate
enough to discover remedy, and the
silk industry of France soon resumed
its former prosperity.

Cleveland, Nov. 24.-The Union

priesteGhi6ited it before the bride, who
affixed her signature, accepting il as her
action. The marriage was perfectly
binding.
A very similar ceremony was per-
formed some time ago. The affair took
place by proxy, and Miss Maple was
married by a clergyman in New York
TO a man who at the time Of the mar
riage lay dying in a Texas town. The
bridegroom was represented in the cere-
mony by the BRIDES cousin. who made
the necessary responses and signatures
as his proxy. The two lovers had been
engaged for q long time, and Miss
Maple wished to bear the name of her
betrothed even though she could do 50
only as q widow.
The all important ring is sometimes
forgotten, and in more than one case
the door key of the church has had to
do duty, but it is not often that portions
of the marriage service are omitted. In
a southern town, however. a little while
ago, after the party had left the church.
it was discovered that the clergyman
had forgotten the words. with this
ring thee We'd" etc., thus relieving
the bridegroom of the most serious part
of his obligations, and the fair bride
was minus wedding ring. Instead of
sitting down to the breakfast the party
hurried back to the church and were thus
practically married twice in one day.
Cupid ran amuck some years ago
among the old folk Of Georgia town.
An old soldier, IS years of age, led to
the altar an aged damsel who had seen
az summers. There were three brides
maids, whose ages respectively were 60.
6S and 20. They were all spihsters.
The best man, who was 75, brought the
combined ages up to 423 years.
An unusual kind of marriage was
celebrated in New York recently. This
was between a couple both deaf and
dumb. They held prayer books while a
friend pointed out the different passages
in the service as they were spoken by
the clergyman, and they made the GUS
tomary responses in the deaf and dumb
alphabet.
An ingenious couple once conceived
the idea Of being married by phono-
graph. In the place where the BRIDE
groom resided he and the minister went
over the marriage service, and he recited
the proper responses into the instrument.
The phonograph was sent to the lady,
she willingly supplying the requisite,
81 will" and ~ do in the presence of
her pastor, who then pronounced the
pair united in matrimony. No explana-
tion is given of how they got over the
difficulty of the ring.
A well known anthropologist, in de-
scribing various marriage customs, re-
fers to strange sort of symbolical mar
riage which is supposed to have origi-
mated in India. 1t is a marriage with
trees, plants, animals and inanimate
objects. If any one proposes to enter
upon union which is not in accordance
with traditional ideas, it is believed
that ill luck which is sure to follow
may be averted by a marriage of this
kind, the evil consequences being borne
by the object chosen. In various regions
girl must not marry before her eldest
, sister, but the difficulty is overcome by
the eldest daughter marrying the branch
Of tree. Then the wedding Of the
younger daughter may safely be cele
brated. Buffalo Express.
