"London, Nov 33 King Alfonso's
marriage seems to be definitely fixed
for the 27th inst. The Archduohess
Marie Christine will reach Paris on
the 19th inst, whenoa she will start for
Madrid on the 21st inst, and arrive in
the latter place on the 21th. Admiral
Jaores, French Ambassador in Madrid,
will represent President Greyy at the
marriage. This disposes of the appre
hension that France would not be rep
resented owing to rivalry among
Frenoh officers who desired to repre
sent France on this occasion.
Political Disputes In Main e.
Augusta, Nov 14 Rumors in re

tending to count out the republican

citing general attention. Messrs Baker
and Baker filed a notice with the gov

disputed otse in Franklin, Lioooln,
and Penobscot counties, and II M
Heath did likewise in regard to the
oases in Washington county. It is re
ported that so bearings will be allowed
ia disputed oases, but that certificates
will be issued on Monday, as has
already been determined. A carefully
compiled list of ha Legislature shows
that the repnblioaus have eighty-nine
members in the House, and one vaoan

A Sensible Innovation.
In the latest fashion cojtes we observe
the following, which, considering that it
is an innovation u pi)1 n the fold custom
seems tons very sensible : !
Instead of the bridesmaids' fashion pre
scribes two tiny pages', I , who are chosea
from the prettiest of the boy relatives.
These are dressed in (velvet of the bride's
favorite color, made in a style of a coart
dre!8 They perform the usual role of tbe
bridesmaid, carry the bride's bouquet and
gloves, and in addition meet and assist
her irom and to the carriage 'steps .
Now the next thing in ordef will be,
webopje, to abolish the senseless habitthat
custom forces upon newly married folks
of taking an advertising trip, more famil
iarly known as a Oridal one. j When this
shall have been doae and marriage be
looked upon from a more practical stand -poiflt
tbero will be fewer bachelors in the
land.

recommended and the piece which they
present is one which has met with re
markable success everywhere. Its scenes
are lai d in the wilds of the West and it
is replete with thrilling and dramatic
situations. The accessories to the piece,
such as the wonderful dog and the bear
and the remarkable rifleshots, will add
greatly to its interest. We believe that
Si. Slocum will prove the most attractive
performance we have had this season and

Don't Believe One Word of It.
, 'Ex Congressman Waddell of North
Carolina, who is an extreme Democrat
and was a member of the last Congress,
and a candidate for the Secretaryship of
the Senate last! March, says that the best
thing the Southern Democrats can do in
1880 is to refuse to go into the National
Democratic Convention and nominate
General Gr nt. He thinks that the South
would really fare better under Grant than
it would under a Northern Democrat, and
he says that he and many other South
em men have come to the conclusion that
the sol id Democracy of the South must
be broken up in some way in the inter
ests of public order aud national prosper
ity." We copy the above from t he Hender
son Review Ii is an extract from some
Northern paper (name not mentioned)
sent to Capt. Amis by a friend. As Cel.
Waddell. is not in the city, and will not
be here for seveial days, we take the lib
erty of entering an emphatic denial to the
assertions contained in the extract. Col.
Waddell never said any such thing! We
know him and his sentiments too well to
admit, for a moment, that there is one
word ot truth in the statement. We be
lieve it to be a Radical campaign lie.
Col. Waddell will return here this week
and will doubtless immediately enter his
own disclaimer.
