A Royal PrOmpter.

Miss Ellen Terry is, perhaps, the only
actress on the stage who has ever had a
queen and empress as a stage prompter.
She only enjoyed the honor once, and this
is how the matter came about: Some time
ago, when Henry Irving and Ellen Terry
went down to Osborne to play '.The Mer-
chant OF Venice" her majesty, seated as
as usual in front, awaited in eagerness
Portals delivery OF that world-famed
speech beginning, ''The quality OF mercy is
not strained"
Now, those who have seen Miss Terry
play Portia will remember that she makes
a pause before beginning the speech. Her
majesty had never seen this done before,
and she Immediately jumped to The concur
sion that the actresses memory had sud
denly failed her.
Wishing, in the goodness Of her royal
heart, TO save Miss Terry from the un-
pleasant consequences OF such slip, the
queen, in a low but audible tone, began the
speech for her: and then, as she took not
the slightest notice OF the prompt, repeated
it in a considerably louder tone.
This was almost too much for Ellen 8
gravity, but at last she grasped the situa-
ton, accepted the cue from her ma 1eety and
then the play went swimmihgfy. -t--,r

FIFTEEN MINUTES sUFFICED.
Couple Met at $50 and Were Married
at las.
u

A marriage, romantic In the extreme,
was solemnized in the office of the county
clerk OF Glasgow, KY, few days ago.
The groom and bride had never SO much
as heard OF the others existence until
yesterday, and met for the first time when
they were brought face to face in the county
clerks office and introduced 10y mutual
friend preparatory to the application for
license.
The groom is John Underwood, pros
porous farmer near Temple Hill, aged
sixty-five years. The bride was Mrs.
Martha ]. Turner. widow twenty-four
years old, and who came from South Caro-
lima to this county about two months ago.
The mutual friend yesterday pictured TO
the groom OF today the virtues and excel
lencies OF the young widow, and to her
he rec!ted the sterling worth and good
qualities OF the farmer. Commissioned by
the latter with proposition of marriage,
he returned with an acceptance from the
widow. They set eyes upon each other
at 1:30 O'Clock this afternoon. and at 1:45
O'Clock a local minister had pronounced
them husband and wife.
