Odd Cause. of a Queer Wedding.

One of the most romantic marriages
that has occurred in Bowling Green,
Ohio, for some time took place when
Harrison Cheney. who is about seven
ty years of age, was married to Miss
Agnes May, aged eighteen years. The
marriage was in the way of the fulfill
ment of a promise made many years
ago.
Cheney, when a young man, lived in
Pennsylvania town, and was lover
of one who married another She took
sick afterward, and upon her deathbed
she asked Cheney to look after a little
daughter. This he did, and she in
time grew up and was married. She
was taken sick with consumption, and,
too, passed away, but not before she
had pledged Cheney to look after her
little girl, then two years old. His de-
votion to the little child eliminated in
their marriage.

1t is fact that pipers in Highland
regiments are posted to companies
and always follow them wherever they
go. On one occasion company of the
Gordons were marching from a place
called Jellunder to Fort Kangra, situ-
ated at one of the lower ranges of the
Himalayas. Accompanying them was
an elephant, on which were placed
sick and exhausted men. After few
days march we were deprived of
music on account of the piper's feet
becoming blistered, and he was rele-
gated to the back of the elephant. On
the last days march, before entering
a new station, some one suggested
that in order to brighten US up the
piper might be requested to play on
the elephants back at the head of
the company. To this the officer as
sented, and accordingly the piper was
handed L.s pipes. When he began to
tune them it was evident that the ele-
phant had no appreciation of such
sounds, for he shook his head, tapped
his big ears menacingly, raised his
trunk, with which he embraced the
piper round the waist, and violently
threw him and his pipes into ditch
as a mark of his disapproval of such
music

MysterIous Mines in Africa.

Besides the reefs which have been
discovered, there exists in Rhodesia an
enormous quantity of ''old workings" :"
mines which were worked in ancient
times, but have long since been aban-
doned, says the London Telegraph.
By whom these mines were worked is
and will probably remain forever a
mystery. From old pottery and tools
which have been found it is evident
that these old workings were exca-
waited by or under the direction of
men of knowledge and intelligence su-
perior to those possessed by the pres
ent inhabitants of the country. Gold
was extracted from these mines by
smelling, many furnaces having been
found, and alongside of them ancient
molds in which ingots were cast. Sew
eral ruins have also been discovered
in Rhodesia, the magnitude and work
manship of which proves that men of
superior civilization either inhabited
or else occupied this part of the world
few thousand years before us. To
them are probably due the ancient
workings which have been found.
With the primitive instruments at
their command these miners of a past
age were only able to scrape the sur
face of the gold-bearing reefs, so that
the quantity of gold which has been
taken from the mines hardly affects
their value, while they are precious
indication to the prospector and ena-
BILE him to test the reef below the sur
face, and, as rule, the site of most
of these old workings seems to have
been selected by competent men. who
chose the richest reefs.
