SlNla. ANlln.

II Is the fashion. says The London
Chronicle, when a famous judge or de-
tective retires TO give a list OF his most
remarkable cases. Sir Hartley Will
liams, the retiring senior puisne judge
Of Victoria, has been the subject OF
such n retrospect. One OF the first
cases he had to try was "A very rare
offense Understanding n steamship.
A couple of audaciOus %scoundrels,
named Henderson and Wallace, stole
a steamer from the Clyde. disguised
her very skillfully and went on a pleas
ure cruise around the world. AT Mel
bourne, where they posed as sciOns OF
English nobility. the fraud was de-
tected. They were arrested, convicted
and sentenced to long terms OF i'm
prisonmcnt. Stealing a ship Is like
stealing an e~lephant-a very unproft-
able form of crime. The risks ara
enormous, and it IS so difficult 10 get
rid OF the stoleE property Or convert
it into cash.

Your humble scribe could wish
that he had the eloquence of
a poet and a quill from some
angels pinion that he might do
justice to this happy event, one
now so seldom seen ia these post

lures this beautiful wedding was
typical ante bellum one among
Southern aristOcrats. The old
Weaver mansion, the homestead
of the brides maternal ancestors
wherein three generations of
noble men and beautiful. accom-
pliShed women had lived, was lit
up and the. beautiful lawn ia front
spanked with the many colors
of Chinese lanterns while the in
side was ornamented and deco
rated with evergreens and flow
ers and filled with guests who
We'd with each other wishing the
young couple a joyous and pros
porous life.
A sumptuOus wedding supper
evidenced the true, old time
Sou thern hospitality and liberal
ity when a beloved daughter was
about to leave the home of her
under another name
to make the world rejoice that
she had lived and graced it.
1t is useless to attempt to de-
scribe the appearance of this
handsome young couple, but suf-
fee it to say Columbus and
Lowndes can boast of no more
lovely and beautiful daughter
nor Kentucky of a sweeter bride,
and no country of a nObler son.
May God s blessings rest up
on them and they be the recipi-
ents of all the joy that fall to the
lot of mortals in this life. The
wedding presents simply beg
gar descriptions because of their
number, richness and beauty.
May you live long and pros
