Some Marriages.

Mn. EDIroR.-The writer was call
ed to Cumberland Gap, Tenn,
Wednesday evening last to celebrate
the rites of matrimony between Mr..
r. r. Moss and Miss Minnie j. Cock
rell, daughter Of Maj. Cockrell, who
lives in a home situate far up the
side of Cumberland mountain over
looking the town and the country
round abott.
In this picturesque and delightful
home these two young people men
toned were married, the soltened
tones of the wedding march, the
aroma of varied and rich flowers and
the congratulations Of friends con-
spiring to enrich the whole scene and
fasten it in the memory forever.
In contrast with this we had
another and quite a romantic mar
riage, the same afternoon. 1t was on
this wise: An elderly gentleman a
widower, presented himself at the
parsonage with quite a young country
rirl and asked to be married. When
about half through the ceremony the
pastor discovered that the license had
been issued in Virginia, while the
parsonage was located just across the
line in Tennessee. The parson suS
gested the difficulty. The groom
said, 81 want it done right, Parson.
Whereupon the parson taking the
lead trotted the couple through the
back yard, the garden and the COW
stall and Just above the house on the
side of the mountain he concluded thu
not too grave ceremony.

voice one hears in the telephone is
not the voice of person who is talk
ing" said an electrician, chatting
about the oddities Of the business, to
a reporter Of the Few Orleans Times
Democrat. at seems exactly like
the tones, drawn out thin and small
and carried from a long distance by
some mechanical means, but it is not.
When one speaks into the instrument,
little diaphram. like a drum head,
begins to yibrate, and each vibration
sends a wave of electricity over the
wire. These waves set up mimic
vibration in another diaphragm at
the opposite end, which jars the air
and produces an imitation of the
original voice. That's not a very
scientific explanation, but it's accu
rate. The autograph telegraph
which makes fac-simile of hand
writing, is a fair parallel. You write
your message with a pen, attached
to special-electric apparatus, and a
little ink .iphon at the other end o.
the line exactly initiates every do
and curve. The result seems lik'
the real thing, but is merely first
class counterfeit. It's the same wa.
exactly with the voice in the phone.
