Celebrated.
Port Tampa, Fla, May &c. The
greatest day in the history of Port
Tampa, that Of the celebration of
Queen Victoria's eightieth birthday,
opened bright and arm AS the sun
appeared on the horizon salutes were
fred from the British and American
war vessels lying in the harbor, and
then events cYa%ded rapidly Upon each
other. The shipping in the harbor was
gay with its dressing Of flags and pen
rants, and throughout the town was a
liberal display Of flags, bunting and
floral decorations. Then flags of the
two nations taking part in the cere-
monies, the British and American,
were foated from every point Of want
age, and among them conspicuously
shown were many German flags. The
most, striking feature Of the decora-
ltions' was a triumpllal arch displaying
fthe British lion and the American
Jeagle.

There was n time, before dining cars
became a fad, that the Baltimore and
Ohio Rail Roads "Queen City HOTEL"
at Cumberland, Md, was noted for it's
service and cuisine. In latter years,
tho reputation declined, as few travel
ers partook of sustenance at the long
tables in the big dining room. But an
effort is to be made to restore the repu-
tation Of the seventies and eighties, and
the hostelry has been placed in charge
Of j. n. Shattuck, who mas been Dining
Car Superintendent of several big
Western roads. Considerable money
will be spent on the hotel, and it will
again try for first-class patronage.

Remarkable Wedding.

A most remarkable wedding has just
taken place at a village called Trail.
England, four brothers being married
to four sisters. The four knots were
tied at the home of the four sister
brides, who are daughters of a prosper
GUS farmer named James Hochstetter.
Their ages range from eighteen to ten
years older, and the ages of their re-
spective husbands vary only slightly.
The bridegrooms are the four sons of
John Sumers, and are energetic young
men of good habits and some means.
The four brothers and their wives live
within a stones throw of each other.
