From the San Francisco Examiner
 "Huh-ah!" grunted the able editor of the Polkville (Ark.) Jimplecute, in the midst of coming batch of country correspondence. ''This fellow who has just begun to send us items from out at Cracker Neck is a gen. jus in his way:
 ''What particular kind of a blamed fool does he make of himself?" inquired the foreman, who was cynical after the manner of his kind.
 "Why," replied the scribe, fin writing up a recent wedding out there he says that during the ceremony the best man had con- siderable of a fit, one of the gentlemen guests was inopportunely arrested by deputy sheriff for horse stealing, the min- ister stuttered, there was a spirited dog fight under the house, and the brides mother made such violent objection to the groom that the affair had to be postponed till the good lady could be bound fast to a rocking chair and packed so far out into the woods that her remonstrances 1oated but faintly to the house, which gave the groom time to so acutely realize what he was bringing on himself that he could not be restrained from escaping to parts un- known by being grabbed and firmly hog tied and kept in that predicament till the clergyman had got in his work. A little later the friends of the happy couple sur rounded the house and rent the night with congratulatory howls and yells and much characterization, which was repaid by the fiinging on them of kettle of hot water by the bushing bride and few dis charges of the shotgun of the sturdy groom During the melee, the correspondent goes on to say, the kitchen roof caught fire and half of 1t was burned off. The whole affair he entities "A Quiet Wedding and grayely says that all present felt that it was good to be there. That fellow Is either budding humorist of great promise or else he has been leading Q mighty exciting life"

1.-THE "PERFECr'' WAR DEPARTMENT

From the Baltimore Sun.
 The mystery of the whole thing is inex- plicable, and General Wheeler has thrown the public into a state of bewilderment from which it will not soon recover In stead of critcising Secretary Alger harsiiiy we should be holding public meetings and singing his praises, while we should hold in everlasting execration the memory of those 2,550 volunteers and regulars who de- liberately passed out of life from sheer "cussedness'' and in order that they might work the destruction of 'the greatest sec- retary of war since Stanton" It is won derful indeed, that the country should have ever cherished the illusion that the war department was not perfect in every re- spect. Now that the public has assurance from General Wheeler that the department could not have been improved upon, it will rub its eyes with pleased astonishment, thank Heaven that it was only dream after all and rate at their true baseness the 2,550 soldiers who perished in dying simply to spite Mr. Alger and the war de- partment.

Alice Nelson Opera company. The audi torium being dark, he was not recognized during the course of the first act. Just before the curtain fell bunch of roses was thrown upon the stage Miss Nelson had observed the gallant southerner in his full uniform of major-general, and prompt ly threw the roses into the box. The at- tention of the audience was attracted, the lights went up and the general was recog- nized Cheer upon cheer rent the air. Cries of "Speech!' and "Our next presidentr were heard. General Lee bowed again and again, but did not otherwise respond
 The curtain then arose again, and re- vealed the entire company of eighty or ninety people standing massed on the stage. They gave three cheers for General Lee, and then sang "The Star Spangled Ban ner," and the audience joining in with wild enthusiasm. By this time things had risen to high pitch of excitement. The patri- otic hymn had no sooner ended than men and women left their seats and crowded around the box, General Lee bent over the balustrade of the box and shook hands with as many as he could reach. Some time elapsed before the excitement subsid- ed and the performance could be resumed.

The Risen Lord. Matth. q; $40.

Golden Text am he that liveth,
and was dead; and behold, am alive
for evermore. Rev. Il IS.
Now when Jesus was risen early
the first day of the week, He appeared
FIRST to Mary Magdalene. out of whom
He had cast seven devils.
A young man, at least 1000 years
old, but living in country where the
years do not count. had met the
women at the tomb, and said to them,
He is not here for he is risen, as He
said, Go tell His disciples and
Peter" And they ran with fear and
great joy, and Jesus met them.
A bright chapter in dark story.
Resurrection following death. Him
self had said. Your sorrow shall be
turned into joy"
What foolish children we are, to be
so much occupied with earths pow
erty, that we forget our Father is the
King, and that we are heirs of all
things, for He is the "Possessor of
heaven aud EARTH
What sad children we are, to mourn
disappointment and old age, forget
ting our appointment with Him in
the land of eternal youth.
How foolish to contend for rights
and property instead of the faith
To spend our days in making us a
name, instead of making known the
Name that is above every name :"
Fearing death as the end, instead of
longing for the resurrection, the be-
ginning.
And what disobedent children we
are, going our own way which leads
to death, and forsaking His way
which is the resurrection and the
life.
His disciples said, 1--WE trusted that
it had been He which should have re-
deemed Israel: and beside all this,
today is the third day since these
things were done" Then He said
unto them, 20 fools, and slow of heart
to believe all that the prophets have
spoken: Ought not Christ to have
suffered these things. and to enter
into His glory?"
Then He opened to them the Scrip
lures, and their hearts burned within
them, while He talked to them.
