QUEER HONEYMOONS.
Spent by Persons Who Wished to. BE Un'
conventional.


From the Cincinnati Enquirer: A
few years ago a newly welded couple
living ten miles southwest of Brook
vile, KY, took as honeymoon trip
q wagon ride to witness the hanging
of Robert Mclaughlin, which occurred
at Brookville. A short while since an
adventurous couple spent their first
days of wedding life on the summit OF
Mount Blanc. The ascent, extremely
hazardous by reason of terrific snow
storms, being successfully accomplish
ed, and the summit reached, the BRIDE
groom, in the presence of the guides,
embraced his young wife, to whom he
swore eternal fidelity, and received
from her lips an equally fervent assur-
ance. Then the descent was COM
menced, and the couple after three
days absence, arrived at Chamounix,
where they were accorded an enthu-
siastic reception. There are on rec
ord four honeymoons known to have
been spent in Mammoth Cave, Ken
lucky. In the neighborhood of Dobs-
chau, a small Hungarian town, there
is an extraordinary ice cave. The
roofs, the walls, the floor are thickly
covered with ice, which in places as
sumes most fantastic shapes. In this
cave, some sixteen years ago, couple
named Kolcsey elected to pass the
week Immediately following their mar
riage. They took with them a plen-
tiful supply of rugs, blankets and warm
clothing, but notwithstanding all pre-
cautions their experience was not OF
a sufficiently pleasant nature to tempt !
imitators.
