CuriO i ITlitniier in AvliioJi Jicvor;t :oniIe were VokS.l lfirins; : IN. , . .;. . Marriage by telegraph has be come quite a comnipnjthing in this country. On the twenty-second of -May, Mr. 11. V. Widker and Miss M. E. Budding ton were married, the bride being , in the Northwestern telegraph company's ollice at Milwaukee, Wis., and the groom in the office atO'atonna, Minn. 'The ceremony,' says i local report, 'began at eight o'clock and in a very short time the couple, having respond ?d to the conundrums usually pro pounced on such occasions, were pro nounced man and wii'e and dismissed with a benediction. The bride wore an evening dress of blacic, with black crepe .shawl, and bore in her hand a boquet of flowers.' Upon this marr nage a legal newspaper commented that, as an ordained minister's authori- r, i ' i . f to marry extended only throughout 'the State,' t!ie bride only was married ; that the statute providing that the declarations of both parties must be made in the -presence' of the minister, was violated ; that witnesses were not present, or, if they were, must "have witnessed the bride's marriage to the te'r-'graph operator,. and that no cer t fieate could have been given, specify ing the plnce of the marriage. J Among uiarnages that were odd in the mrnner ot their celebration may be mentioned that of Mr. Horace Tell and Miss Jones on a public road in Calvert count3', Md.. in July. They set out fur home at seven A. M., so did the clergyman, and, at .Hie point where they met. the bappv couple were ua: ted on horsc-back beneaih a shading .... - i ' oak. ' : i' June 18th,' at Mcnticello, 111, the Rev. Duncan McMillan, of Utah, was united in marriage to Emily Kent Johnston, daughter of the Rev. Adam Johnston who officiated. The cereihony took place under two . grand hickory trees, the branches abovej forming j a natural bower. Guests assembled un der the tree?, and the bride and gro m came to the shade j preceded by two little girls, who dropped lilies on the path. . , ' 'v A Mormon bishop named Allen per formed an al fresco wedding on the line between Utah and Nevada, having one foot in the State and one in the i ' - - Territory, while the bride was in Nevada and the groom in Utah. At New Haven, Conn., there was a matiiage on tbetage. At the close of the regular performance it was an nounced that Mr. James Jones, of Jones & Creston, the rifla shots, would Lc united in raarriase to Miss Jose- phine Blauchard, a member of the com pany. Aftar Miss Farra"n 1 and Ross sisters had finished dancing, the cur tains was lowered and the orchestra played the -W'eddisg March. The curtain was hen rung wp, diseasing the happy pair surrounded by the en tire company. After the applause had ceased, Hugh Dailey, as justice of the peace, stepped forward and performed the services of the Episcopal church, AM'ST AT, BE THY f OCXTttl C., FRIDAY, JANUARY 16, 1880 The audience kept order till the set vices was over and thea applauded and called the happy pair before the Cur tain.

Ind wouldn't lot his daughter marry James Scarlett-; slie went down to the river with a bucket of water, and found there 'Squire Leru Ross, Mr. Scarlett the necessary ; witnesses, and two horses, one .with a side-sadddle, and the marriage took placeji.and the happy couple left for the (iountrv. While all this was going on the old man was at home at work in the gar den. When he heard of it he "allowed if he'd been ;thar someb:xly would 'a got hurt, so they would." Near Lithonia. I) jKalb county Ga., a couple of runaway lover were mar ried standing on a log in the swamp. Tuey engaged the services of Rev. E. II. Clarke, who reached the rendez vous about nine o'clock at night. 11 The lovers were jhid leu in thr swamp, and as the reverend gentleman passed through they ! whisllod to him and called out: "Here wo are." In a few moments they were man and wife and went on their way rejoicing. Mr. Joseph Pentz took a rifle to his wedding at St. Mark's G'ap, Texas. The sexton tried to persuade him 'to !'e-ive it at the door on entering the church, but he persisted in carrying it across his shouder as he walked with his bride up to the altar raij. His ex explanation was that a rival suitor had threatened to bhoot him on this casion, and he meant to be 'prepared for defence. - - Up at Port Townsend, Oregon, a desperate lover took his license, the clergyman: -"-and' a Winchester rifle to lhejnrlss residence and got married in the front 3'ard, keeping ofr the father and uncle with weapon, having omin ously remarked hat as they had' thea tened to do him boldly violence he was within his right ingoing armed against a possible niurJerous assault. f mm 1 A. UICJ..' FISIS r. A Temper-unco Iecinre Ieliver6l Witk r.iii'nlHiid Spirit A last Irink tVilli liundler. Dan Rice, the veteran u circus man, made his initial appearance yesterday in the role of a temperance advocate. The St. ' Louis Sanitarium was the scene of his work. 'Three o'clock in the afternoon was the time set for the opening of the meeting. Dan had arrived-long before the hour and had taken a position among the Sunday school children. When the regular meeting was called the folding doors were thrown open and those who came to attend it saw Dan surrounded by little children. After singing and a few words from Dr. Boyd, of Indian apolis, and prayer by Mrs. Cox, Mr. Cordell arose and introduced a man who he said was known in every city and village in the United States Dan Rice. The old showman stepped forward- lie was dressed in a dark suit of clothing that looked Just a little the worse for wear and an overcoat which matched the suit exactly. His face was some shades paler than usual, and thfe rosy tint which has hovered aronnd I the lip of his nose had .... almost faded j away: The large sunken eyes looked! a shaderi brighter than usual. Their j owner, however, showed no other signs ( of nervousness, but deported himself j inas cool and collected a war as could John B- Gough or any other veteran temperance lecuarer. Dan is a gtou .actor, anu ue reauy auop. the profession of an evangelist will make a success of it. As he spoke yesterday be illustratea nis woras, making ge5ticc!tions wit'i his hands, twisting his face out of shape and imi tating the style and speech of one in a drunken condition. Wbeu le said Then I grew cunning" he put on a cunuinjr look. When he said "I felt very sick. I needed some .. hitlers, he imitated the manner of a uiau just trt that condition. When be THY GODS, ASD T1HTUS spok-e of his mother his vo e l Wl.en .lie srid "From this tirab o i tern l- peratwe will never have a stroniier a - I , " ' " - - i vocate than Dan Rice," he spoke like a man who is in earnest ad who in- j tended keeping the promise. 'It is; rather, an awkward position! this to be in," said Pan. tlidu't ex. pect to come here. The other day 1 received a letter from Mr. Cordtll askipg me to attend this meeting. 1 told him t couldn't do it. Mr. Cordell caucu upon me yesterday ami induced ; me to come. My mind has been un dergoing a remarkable change recent- I have not set down yet any direct j or positive course, for the future. I . . . ... nave ueen so raixcu up with my pro ! fession during the past fe.t years that in adopting this new course I am moved by imDiilse. I do not even know what I am goin1 to say now, but I feel better than I have fr ye irs. I am glad to be here tliisaftcrn30on. Ii did tue good to bo with the little chil dreu before, the meeting. I felt hon ored at being amorg l! em. I have moral .courage and am not ashaine to face any of you as some men would be. j Some would haves too much" diir nity to stand up here. Too much di -nity is not de.nocra:ic. Laughtei'. Solomon saysj that it is a wise nau who conforms to the exigencies of the hour, and as I have always been con sidered a clown, a z uiy and a fool, 1 think it is about time I conformed to the ; exigencies of something else. Laughter.J I have been a minister, but not of Urn gospel. I have been a minister of fun. My mother's f.imih were all Methodists, and my moiher used to prophesy that one day I would be ;a minister! and she often pra e I r '!! . that I would become' one. I heard Moody the other ", night,; the prayers and songs made me weep like a child Here Dan's voice fait ere I. When. I heard that old song. my mother used to sing, I wept j like a chill. I came away and resolved to l'a I a new life The night before Z tch. Chandler's death in Chicago we were standing at a bar together drinking. Ho said : 'This is my last drink, JJau. I liave oc-ffuffi'lcd my mission That was his last drink, for he died that night. I have had my last drink, and I trust to God that 1 have taken it in time. Thif is a gloihms work and it is glorious to bo in it. People may sneer at mo it thej'.likc, but I can bear the brunt of their -scorn, fession- -and If I return to my pro I have not made up ray- mind as to whether I will or not I want to meet that heterogeneous ,i i mass with whom I have been accusiorr- ed to associate, and destroy that curse that ruins and 'sends so many of them to early graves. Even in the arena and in my professional attire I will strive to .reach these masses. Let them sneer at me when 1 get my. har ness on. j I came unprepared to speak here, but 'now I feel inspired moral'y great! I believe there is more man hood about me to-day than there ha been at any time duriug the past fort) years. Let people say what they will of me. I will go on. Let t he press say "what it will. The press has had a good deal to say . about me. It ha?" said some pretty hard things. Laugh ter. j When I was young I used to gel mad at what they said. I. recollect once an abusive article' that was writ ten against nie and Rarnura. I want- ed to take it up, and I, wrote to!iiar- num about)t. He replied : 'My. dear Dan, del 'ein.say what they please'; it's 'only! an advertisement.' Laughter. lis mum's skin T.'as thicker thau mine., -Thev abused me, but until of late they had no cause.' My character bus been good until the last five years. Since then every one in St. Louis knows my feelings. ; Trouble caused me to j drink, aud I have been drunk' five years all those five years I have got drunk to drown sorrow, ..j nset Q go staggering along the streets like this Here Dan imitated a drunken mam When 1 think of it it makes me lashamed of myself.

Th,e New Y'ork Herald recently an nounced the1 completion of Edison'r electric light 'and devoted an' cight-col iimn illustrated article to its descrip tion.

Noting the ill effect of publications, he decided to keep his own Counsel strictly, and to tliat end kept his labyratory guardedly closed and no authoritative ; account of any ol the important Steps of his progress hat been made public previous to that ol riiursday.
