TWINS WE'D TWINS.
Unique Wedding Out in ohio.

One Of the most remarkable weddings
on record occurred q few days ago.
when the Messrs. Orabbe. of Columbus

Both brides and bridegrooms are
twins
The twin brothers are so nearly
alike In every respect that even their
mother can scarcely tell them apart,
and the brides resemble each other as
closely as their husbands.
Both the brides and grooms' BIRTH
days occur on the same date OF the
month and they were welded ON the
anniversary of their natal day.
When q reporter called 20 interview

DIR MONTAGUE IN TROUBLE.
Former Professor at Columbian University
Unjustly Treated by Printers.

At the farewell meeting of the Ma
tional Educational Association last Fri
day night, Dr. A. 2. Montague, presi'
dent Of Furman University, who has
performed such splendid service for
Charleston. made very intelligent and
appropriate address which excited the
vast audience to a very high pitch Of
enthusiasm, and was much compliment
ed by the quiet and thoughtful people
who heard him gladly. Dr. Montague s
address WAS printed in the News and
Courier on Saturday, but the intelligent
compositor made an utterly unwarrant-
ed diversion from the text 10 speak
ing to the teachers Of the cause of edu
cation, which they represented, Dr..
Montague said: Education that re-
wives the sleeping aeons Of antiquity. "
The printer put 1t: Education that re-
wives the sleeping soorns OF antiquity -
We would say that there is distinc'
tion. with difference, in these two
statements Of fact, and we take this
opportunity Of setting the speaker
straight. By way Of explanation, it is
proper to remark that the compositor
who set up DR.. Montsgue's speech has
been engaged recently 10 helping to ex'
ploit the many and superior advantages
Of the Ohinaberry tree, and got his ideas
mixed. - Charleston Is o. News and
