riorilt Ram.
Lat Friday morning, bright and
early, two men stepped into Hein
80D h & Dow's saloon and got a drink
of gin. They stood at the bar and
chatted with Mr. Dow a while and
took mote gin. By this time the
oldest of the strangers began to feel
enthused and became quite com
municative. He told Mr. Dow he
was a widower, but had got tired of
his widowhood and had advertised
or a wife, who was to be here trom
Connecticut that night His bride
elect wanted him to meet her half
way between Florida and Connecti
cut, but he wrote her he could not
venture f urtl.er North than Kissim
mee, so she had to come here; he
made forty miles of the distance
and she made 1.500 miles of it. He
made several trips to the depot du
ring the day, but spent most of his
time drinking turpentine gin and
talking of his bride.
By the middle of the afternoon
be was tbe centre of observation
and the topic of conversation, for
be had pretty well advertised his
business in town, and had invited
quite a crowd to go with him to
meet tne train and see bis bride,
At thf hour for the train to come
thereivere sixty of the boys at the
j t' J .i it., i :
urjn.r auu w ucu tue irsm jjuiicu ui
ne made a rusn tor tbe first passen
ger coach, where he saw several
adies, but not seeing the red bow
on tbe leit shoulder signal be
thought she had not come, and hal
ooed to bis friends: "boys, she bas
not come, but at this moment some
one told him she was in the waiting
room, and he called again: "Hoys,
she's come." Some one suggested
he get a carnage to take her to the
hotel, but he said: "No, bring my
oz-cri;aronnd;she can ride in that
After they all had arrived at the
uconsin House some one of tbe
crowd asked him if be had a mar
riage license. He said no, but
would like to have some of them go
for it for him. After being told
the price, he pulled out 12 to pay
for the license. Judge Johnson
performed the solemn rite, and the
crowd dispersed.
The bovs kent evmoathizinz with
him, for during the day he drank
about a gallon of gin and bad car
ried a four-pound bouquet on the
lapel of his coat (as a signal for bis
bride to know him by), and about
11 P. M.. they thouaht he might be
getting "dry," so they went to his
room and rapped and asked if be did
not want a drink. While standing
m the doorway with his socks, cuffs
and collar on, ard the perspiration
running oil him, tbey presented him
with a pint bottle of gin, of wnich,
after invoking a blessing on them,
he drank half. He was out early
next morning preparing to take her
to bis new home in the wagon be had
brought alligator hides to town in.
By so clock tbey were rolling
out for his home at Green Pond,
Polk county, with provisions enough
for tbe trip.

E. C. Beddin field, Secretary of
the N. C Farmers Alliance was here
yesterday. He appears to be a safe
and wise man and a gocd Democrat
and will not help to lead bis brelb
rea after atrangb gods. some o,
the farmers ia this section report
that they have good cotton growing
on old last year a stalks. The winter
did not kill the old staiis, and tney
have sprouted out and will make cot
ton a avcond time. Cspt W. H.
Smith, of Wilmington, has sent his
agent, ir. Kackie here to auarry
brow ni tone for the government build-
nir at Greenville. 8. C. This build
in if will reouire msnv tons of stone
and a considerable expenditure of
money and time at Sanford. A
prominent merchant of Jonetboro in
speaking of tobacco culture In this
section, says that without exception,
v eery farmer who commenced U raise
tobacco a half down years ago and
who has stuck to it Is now in a pros

tied the fiist year at tobacco and
quit are growing worse off eveiy year.

One of the first thino wluMi
strikes an Eastern man who goes
out on the Pacific slope a queer is
tnenseor tne word "rustler." The
word has exactly the same signifies-
tion there as the word "hmtW
does here, and is invariably used by
the Calif ormans in place of the lat
ter word. No one has yet explained
tbe reason of the change in the in
itial letter. Another expression,
peculiar to Californias is "He's a
bird, corresponding to the East
ern expression "He's a daisy," and
implying that the gentleman re

A Week's Sorrows.
New York Star.
A heart of stone would have been
touched by some of tbe sad things
that have happened in New York and
its immediate neighborhood during
the past week.
What could be more tragically pa
thetic than the fate of the German
family who, husbaod and wife and
child together, sought death in tha
water as the only relief open to them
from misery which a mere pittance
would have cured?
Some of the sad things that have
come to pass have been very wicked
ones, but none the less deplorable oa
that account, and even more auggea
tive of the existence of social bluna
dersfor which remedy ia urgently
demanded. We boast of our charU
ties, but is there no place where tha
Wendlandts could hare found aidr
Is there no system of teaching by
which the spirit ot tbe "touch" that
abided in the Elisabeth street truek-
man Could have been subdued other
wise than by the bullet? Is there no
way of organized charity by which
these striking doakmakers could find
protection against starvation at a time
when such wholesome and delicious
food as bluefiisb is so great a drug in
the market as almost to be given
away?
There are a great many other sad
things that hare happened during
the last seven days within the wide
circle of metropolitan life. But those
above recited are ia everybody's
mind, and thinking on them ought
to auggest some way of doing good.
it is prebable that the fundament
tal trouble with our methods and in
stitutions of relief is that they are
too special in their aims. For the
most part tbey undertake to provide
against some particular want or mit
fortune, but there does not seem to
be enough of he special aid system
to supply the needs of a varied popn
lation. There are too many cases
that no remedy fits.
