ing to Find Who They Are.
A dispatch from Danyille, KY, of the
18th inst, says:
News of a most extraordinary matri-
monial mixup, involving six couples
comes from the little town of Roley, in
Adair county. The SIX weddings all oc-
cured on the same day, three in the
morning and three in the afternoon. In
the morning the following were married:
o. S. Dun bar and Nora Tucker, Robert
Hood and Minnie McWhortor, and W. R.
Hopkins and Ada McWhortor In this
trio the McWhortors We're sisters and
Miss Tucker was their aunt. After the
triple ceremony the three couples went
! to the home of Uncle Bob" Tucker, faith
er and grandfather of the brides, to be
entertained, In the afternoon three 9TH
er weddings took place, within an hour
Of each other, and at the homes Of the
respective brides. There were several
singular features connected with all six
of the weddings.
Every couple is now closely related to
Uncle Bob Tucker, one Of the leading
men of his county. Out Of the six couples
before the wedding, ne had daughter
and a son, three granddaughters, niece
and a nephew. There were in the group
a brother and sister, two sisters. two
brothers, three cousins, two uncles and
an aunt, four nieces and two nephews,
and yet no one Of the twelve married any
one related to him Or herself. Another
singular feature is that out Of the twelve
individuals before the weddings there
! were two by the name of hopkins, two
Dunbars, two Chelfs, two fuckers, two
McWhortols, one Pendleton and one
Hood. After the ceremonies had been
pronounced the result was that the Dun
bars and Hopkins had each been In
creased two, the Pendletons, Chelfs and
MeWhortors could nowhere be found, the
Hoods had gained one and the fuckers
had been fortunate enough to hold their
ground. Since the day Of the great ma
trimonial sweepstake the town loungers
have. been. wearing out their wits and
their, pencils in their endeavors to dis
cover just what relation the several
brides and grooms bear to their mutual
kinsman, Uncle Bob" Tucker.

There once was pirate, graedy and
bold,
Who ravaged for gain and saved the
spotls:
Till hts Golfers were bursting with
: bloodstained-gold,
And millions Of captives bore his tolls.
Then fear took hold Of him, and he
cried:
Il have gathered enough; now, war
..:. should cease!"
And he sent out messengers far and wide
(To the strong ones only) to ask for
peace.
I'VE are Christian brethren!" thus he
spake;
"Let us seal contract-never to
fight!
Except against rebels who dare to break
The bonds we have made by the VIC
tors right"
And the strong ones listen; and some
applaud .'$r':i $
The kindly offer and righteous word;
With never dream OF deceit or fraud,
They would spike the cannon and
break the sword.
But others, tleir elders, listen and smile
AT the sudden converts unctuous style.
They watch for the peacemaker's change
of way;
But his war-forges roar by night and by
day.. st.5@ Il.
Even now, while his godly messengers
speak, ).
His guns are afla1ne ON his enemies
weak. ~.
He has stolen the1sblade from the hand
o.of his foe, s>-ss
And he strikes the unarmed merciless
blow.
To the ends of the earth his oppression
90 r~rlns;' ...
The rebels are blown from the mouths of
his guns.
His war tax devours his subjects food;
He taxes their evil and taxes their good;
He taxes their salt till he rots their
, $50, blood: .--
He leaps on the friendless as on prey,
And sinks, tail down, from the strong
ones way.
The pharisee's cant goes up for peace;
But the cries of his victims never cease;
The stifled voices of brave men rise
From thousand cells; while his rascal
spies
Are spending their blood money fast and
free.
And this Is the Christian to oversee
A world OF evil! a saint to preach!
A holy well-doer come to teachi
A prophet to tell U.s. war should cease!
A pious example of Christian peace!

"Divil Word"
Tho following was written by Tom
Russell, of this city, anent the lecture
delivered in this city by John Redmond
some time ago:
Well, Redmond, the broth OF boy, has
been here,
And set quite pace for the new lecture
year,
For he stuck to his text in way that
was clear
And devil woro about Ireland!
He spoke of Disraeli and Gladstone ga
lore,
OF scenes in "the house, and Of shindigs
score,
And his discourse just made us all long
for some more
But devil word about Ireland!
He glorified Parntll as leader and man
And proved him the peer Of the OCon-
nell Dan.
But the hopes of the audience flashed in
the pan
For devil a. word about Ireland!
No word of Tim Healy, nor yet OF ''!ay
Pay"
No mention of Sexton or Dillon -- for
they
All came under the banned head of con-
troyersy--
So devil aworG about ireland!
It seems quite feat for anlrishman, too;
It's likely the number Of M. P.'s is few,
Who can talk with brogue for an hour
or tW 0,
And devil word about Ireland!
Quickly comes a response from an
equally versatile gentleman, William
j. Dawson, the Detroit poet, whose
muse sings this reproof:
Well, Tommy, my bouchal, I've read
what you wrote
About the M. P. wild the swally tail coat.
Who bucks Johnny Bull like a young
billy goat,
But devil word about Ireland!
Wud you have him come out in frieze
coat of gray?
Give his audience milk when their ston1-
achs want whey?
Threleeus on his legs, like a gossoon at
play?
To whistle the tunes OF ould Ireland?
Wild b}eckthorn stick in his illigant
To force your attention on What he'd in
And scatter your brains if you'd dare to
resist,
Just to show that he came from Guild
Ireland?
Wild caroline hat that had seen better
days,
A waistcoat Of red, like in Boucicault's
plays,
And a neckcloth of green, just the devil
to raise
When the orange crops out in ould
Ireland?
Would you have him forget his god
father. Parnell,
Who hatched him from out his political
shell,
And heard his first crow in the House
that raised--well,
I needn't tell you, from ould Ireland?
And it wouldn't be fair not to have the
Old Com,
Get touch of the blarney where Red
1nond come from;
1t might spur the ould colt for another
trot, Tom,
In the race for home rule for ould
lreland!
And what If Tim Healy was left in the
cowld .
And ".Tay Pay and Sexton, and Dillon
the Dould?
You know if John gave them a. dig,
'twould be Ssfouled"
The minute he landed in Ireland!
So let him so round as the "cock O
the walk,
Sure no fence is so high that we'd ever
balk
We coughed up our dough for nice
game of talk
At the call of voice from ould Ire
land!
But *thigumthu," Tom, for / mustn't
dhrag on,
The devil {; sorry am that he's gone,
II he seq to the factions that's thriving
upon ...
The love of scrimmage in Ireland:

aged so, of Tidioute, Pa, who came
here and was employed as an oil we'll
driller at Corvallis Palmer bought
a ticket but got on the wrong train,
and was put off at Belpre. 1t is
thought he started for this side again,
as a west-bOund freight train caught
him on the trestle and run him down,
killing him instantly One Of the
wheels passed over his chest. and sew
cred the left arm above che elbow.
Undertakers Murdoch & Warne were
at orce summoned and in taking
charge of the remains discovered that
the man had been robbed, all of his
pockets being turned wrong-side out,
and not a thing could be found by
which TO identify him. The remains
were brought to this side and several
oil men identified him to-day, and his
boarding house was visited and his
clothing. containing letters and a fine
gOldf watch, were found. Palmer has
a Wife and several children at
Ti(iOute, and they have been COM
IMPLICATED with, and the remains will
ia all probability bN sent there for in
terment.
Il is said the unfortunate man had
been drinking. and this is given as
the cause Of his sad ending.
