WINKIE'S WEDDING.
2pT WAS Winklereid Wendairn
wedding day. Everybody
kuew that he was to be mar
jlf ried that moroiDg in St. John's
Cdurob. LtkewiBft everybody was
pleased, for both Wiukie and Delia
Deplaine were quite popular ; there
fore, there was bo deinarriag.QDless
it was among the yonng men, who
felt it a little because they would be
unable to waylay Winkie between
the church and tbe depot and make
him properly celebrate.
Tbe bride's toilet is generally con
aidered a far more important item
it fashionable weddings than the
bridegroom's, but in this case it was
Jiflerent.
Not that Winkie indulged in any
:hing especially fano.v upon this oc
oasion. His suit was the conven
tional black, but like Samson, the
point where he came out strong was
ais hair.
When at length he was arrayed
be looked himself over in bis dresst
:ng glass and voted the reflection
perfect, all but the hair; that was
too long.
"It will have to be cot," he decid
ed. "The barber is only across the
street. I'll run over this minute."
"You'll have to hurry, then," put
in hia sister Belle, who was trotting
in and out of bis room in her stylish
bridesmaid's costume. "The carri
ages are coming and it lacks bnt
half an hour of the appointed time."
"I'll get, there, never fear,'' cried
Winkie, slipping on an old coat and
hat and making a rush for the bar
ber's where, fortunately, he lound
tbe artist unengaged.
"Cot my hair1 quick I" he cried,
breathlessly.
Clippers smiled a little slyly and
set his machine so that the stubble
cn all parts of Winkie's head was
1 ?88 than the thoasandth part of an
l.i ch in length when he sprang be-
fore the glass to admire himself.
Worse than all, the pure white
cuticle Twliich I covered Winkie's skull
was several shades whiter than that
which was spread over his features.
"You son of Africa 1" shouted
Winkie, in a rage, "u what did you
cut my hairlike that for?''
"You ordahed me to cut it to the
cuick, 8ah,,, replied Clippers, show
ing his ivory. "I couldn'c cut it any
closer widout I'd skinned your
skull, sab."
Winkie couldn't wait to kill him
just tfaenVbuVwtb an 'Til see you
later" feeling in his breast he made
for the street, wheie he encountered
one of his friends on the way to the
wedding.
"Got your hair cut ?" he asked
with a grin.
"It's none of your business if I
have," retorted Winkie.
Belle had just entered one of the
carriages to be diiven to the bride's
residence as he reached the door.
"Well, now, I rather think you've
got your hair , cut," she said, and
laughed outright.
"I've got a right to get my hair
cut for all of you, I guess," he re
turned, savagely.
Winklereid's pet bantam
was
standing upon the walk as he
tened up to the steps.
He kicked aVhef angrily.
She sprang agilely aside.
"Got your hair cut I Got
hair cut f" she cackled shrilly.
has
your
Winkie made a dive at bis pet
pallet, iutending to devote enough
tinae to her to divest her of her pla
mage ut the very least, but his foot
slipped upon a bit of ice and he fell
and struck his face upon the corner
of a step and almost drove his nasal
organ up into his brain.
He audibly groaned as he picked
himself up, and the driver of the
waiting carriage responded with a
hoarse laugh.
Winkie gained the hall, triple
bolted the door and climbed the
stair?, leaving a trail of blood bet
bind him.
Ten valuable minutes were spent
iu bathing his injured proboscis, ten
more in changing his stained linen.
and readjusting his wedding gar
mente, " '
Winkie then looked iu to the glass
and nearly fainted.
A veritabla comic valentine stood
before him.
His nose was larger tbau all the
rest of his head, with the real old
bruiser tinge to it.
His head was as white and shin-
ing as that of a white marble itatue-
"I can't leave this room in ten
days," he mattered-
Bat a few seconds' reflection
showed him that he mast not desert
Delia at the very altar. .
He hustled into his outer coat and
polled his hat, thief fashion, low
down over bis eyes, ran down stairs,
gave a few directions to tbe driver,
and started.
He intended to stop at a celebra
ted hairdresser's and purchase a
wig.
He found bis man eager for a cus
tomer. "I want you to fit a black, curly
wig upon my head at once," cried
Winkie, throwing shame to the
wiods. "I am Winklereid Wendall
This is my wedding day. 1 . am ten
minutes behind time now."
"Not tbe bridegroom of tha St.
John's church wedding ?"
"Yes; hurry up, I entreat yon."
"What price do you wish to pay!"
"1 don't care a picayune, only get
it here sometime."
The hairdresser stepped to a side
door, gave a few directions to some
one, and then returned and request
ed Winkie to be seated, while be
covered his wedding garments with
a large white linen sheet.
He then went into the other room
and a young lady came out with a
half dozen wigs in boxes.
She bit her lip at the sight ot
Winkie's nose, and almost langbed
when he said irritably :
"I want one with long hair, so
taat the edges of it cannot be seen
so plainly."
"Very well," she returned and be
gan to fit an elegant ladies coiffure,
with black curly bangs in front and
a long Greek knot behind, upon
Winkie's head.
"There, you look lovely in that,"
she said. 'The price is $100."
"Umpb 1" ejaculated Winkie,tear
ing tbe sheet from about him and
lev ing a one hundred dollar note
upon the couDter.
He then clapped on bis hat and
started. $
"Stop 1 Stop 1" cried the yoang la
dy shrilly.
The clatter of the carriage wheels
upon tbe paveuent was all the re
ply which she received.
"Mercifnl goodness!" exclaimed
the girl, almost fainting from con
sternation. "That was a man, and
I thought it was a woman who had
been fighting with her husband."
Winkie proceeded swiftly to the
church, which was crowded.
"Why, Wellandl" exclaimed one
of the ushers who met him at tb6
door.
"What are you glaring at ue for f
There are no flies on me," exclaim.
( (1 Winkie, throwing off bis bat and
overcoat, and starting at once for
the altar, where the clergyman was
waiting.
To say that this spirited entrance
created a sensation is not putting it
too strongly.
When he turned to the bride, who,
leaning upon her father's arm and
surrounded by six beantiful girls,
was coming up the aisle, every pair
of eyes in the audience was tamed
toward him, and every mouth which
was not stuffed with a handkerchief
was audibly smiling.
Mr. Deplaine stopped within a
few feet of the bridegroom and
stared.
"That Is not tbe man 1" he ejacu
lated. "What's that you say I" crisply
retorted Winkie. "Don't be a fool."
Pardon him, he bad been greatly
tried, and then, too, he did not ex
pect a cent from bis father-in-law,
who was eo saving, it was said, that
he used the wart on the back of his
neck for a collar bottou.
"This this person is inebriated,'"
continued Mr. Deplaine. "Send for
an officer, quick 1"
"Oh I Ob ! ' ejaculated Delia, tim
idly. "Where is Winkie V
"Why I am Winkie. Delia, don't
you know me ?" wailed Winkle.
"Why, can it possibly be you !"
whimpered the bride. "What is the
matter with your face, and what
have yon got your hair done up fort"
Winkie put his hand to the hack
ot bis head, and for the first time
discovered tbe Greek knot
He seized it fiercely and shook
cat the long hair of which it was
composed, and then tore the wig by
toroe from his head.
Old Deplaine grew purple In the
fice.
"Drnnk, by Jove !" he said, and
started himself for a policeman.
His departure was the signal for
tn uproar. Everybody laughed
lay, they shouted and tbe young
nen stamped and whistled
Tbe shocked clergyman recovered
cis senses and escorted thn bride
and her maidens into tbe little sit
ting room behind tbe church.
Tom Hawkins, who was Winkie's
bet friend and who acted as usher,
hurtled Winkie in after them.
Then there wa an explanation.
"I understand it all," sobbed Deb
lo, when Winkie had stopped talk
ing. "Bat papa is so angry that he
will never let us be married now."
"Let's Iih married right here be
fore he gets back," suggested Wiu
kie. They acted upon the suggestion,
and when Mr. Deplaine came into
the jront door with the officer, the
bridal party stepped out of the side
dooi into the carriages, and away
upon theirwedding trip.
Mr. Deplaine was obliged to sub
side, but it will be a long time be
fore Winkie's wedding will be for
gotten. Sarah B. Rose in Arkansaw

Treachery iu Friendship.
Tbe specious pretender who art
fully gains tbe confidence of an ami'
atle and unsuspecting heart, then
wantonly betrays it, of all viliians
deserves most to be detested. The
robber may possess generosity, the
nurderer will sometimes display
great and rare qualities, but the
fuse betrayer of implicit friendship
can have no character above con.
ti acted littleness.
It is a maxim, well established in
a oral philosophy, that men are im
flaenced in their condoct by what
appears to them to be tbeir interest.
Yet what ingenuity can discern an
it terest in basely abusing the trust
or an honest man, who has paid you
tl e compliment to suppose yon won
thy of his confidence? Is there any
pleasure in viewing the keen mortis
fications of one whom, by the same
blow, you have cruelly injared and
greatly disappointed. If such a
si-;ht can please you, how much has
vice changed the original simplicity
oi your nature 1
Corrupted minds imagine there is
a cunning in ensnaring an innocent
heart; and, when used with success,
the gentle tickle of vanity excites in
tbeir bosom a pleasureable eensa
ti m. Bat it is a savage pleasure,
Ecch as the hawk enjoys when he
darts upon the heedless warbler of
the forest ; or sach as is experienced
by the double-tongued serpent, when
he has charmed into his power the
unsuspecting flatterer of a neigh
boring bush. N. Y. Ledger.
Beauty Or Brains..
A Lady sends us the following
question :
"If it were optional with all wom
en to be intelligent or beautiful,
but forbidden to them to be both,
which of two girls, Beauty or Brains,
do yon think, would the majority ot
the sex prefer ?"
This is a delicate question, bnt if
put to tbe vote we are inclined to
think that Beauty would carry the
day. Men bow down to feminine
lovlioess, but as a rule they are apt
to fight shy of feminine wisdom.
Some of them even seem to regard
it with jealousy as an infringement
on their prerogative. It is true
that several tough old philosophers
have inveighed against theinflaence
of Beauty, stigmatizing it as a
"short-lived tyranny," a "silent
fraud," a "mere accident ot nature,"
and tbe like ; bnt tbe probability is
that these caustic fellows have made
bids for it in vain, and that the ac
idity of temper they displayed was
ascribable to "soar grapes.''. Y.

Governor ot Sew York.
Saeatooa, N. Y.t Sept. 10.- The
Democratic State Convention was
called to order at 10 15 a. m y and
th a convention at once settled down
to business. Tbe report of tbe com
mittee on resolutions was read. The
portions relating to national affairs
re d as follows :
The Democratic party of the
Stato ot New York, in convention
assembled, renews the pledges of
il:; fidelity to Democratic faith, aud
at: regards national issuer, reafllrms
th ) doctrine of the national platform
foim of 1884 aud 1888, endorsed by
th j popular votes iu these years and
so overwhelmingly ratified by tbe
popular verdict in the Congression
al 9letiona of 1800. Wo now, as
thtm, steadfastly adhere to princi
ples of sound finance. We are
a liuat the coiuage of any dollar
which is not of the intrinsic value
of dvery other dollar of the United
States. We therefore deuouuee the
ne v Sherman silver law. under
w.nch one-tenth of our gold stock
h& been exported, and alt oar siN
vei output is dammed up at home as
a filse pretence bnt artful hindrance
of return to fiee bimetallic coinage,
acd as tending ouly to produce a
change from one kind of mono-men-tallsm
to another. We therefore
unite with tbe friends of honest
money everywhere in stigmatizing
th.b Sherman progressive silver basis
law as no solution of the gold and
sil7er question and as a fit appendix
to the subsidy and bounty swindle ;
tha McKinley worse than war tariff,
tho Blaine reciprocitv humbug ; the
squandered surplus ; the advancing
deceit; the defective census; tbe
falsified representation and the rev-
olc.tionary procedure of the billion
Jcngress all justly condemned by
tho people's great uprising last No
vember. A verdict which renewed
neiit year, will empower Democratic
statesmen to guide the people's
councils and to execute the people's
wi 1. State issues are then discuss
ed, and the Republican Senate is
arraigned for defeating wholesome
an l needed legislation passed by
tho Democratic assembly. Governor
lliA is endorsed in the following Ian
guage:
We heaitily endorse the able and
statesmanlike administration of Gov.
Hill during his several years as tho
chief executive of the State he has
maintained the principles of tbe
Democracy, and faithfully contend
ed for the interests of the people.
He has ably resisted tbe aggressions
of the successive Republican legis
latures, whose object has been only
partisan advancement, ?nd he has
been a friend and unrelenting foejto
vicious and corrupt legislation. In
bis administration of State affairs
be has tried the intelligent and con
scientious co-operation of bis Dem
ocratic associates in the State de
partments. Their joint efforts have
pat tbe State practically out of debt
and left a generous surplus in the
treasury. Efficiency and economy
have marked tbeir official records. We
respectfully submit that this faith,
foi discbarge of responsibility justi
fies a continuance of the trust im- j
posed in the Democratic party, of
which they have been true represen
tatives. The reading cf the platform was
received very quietly. The silver
plank was greeted with applause,
and Gov. Hill's name was also ap
plauded. Tbe platform was unanU
mously adopted.
Mr. Gilroy, of New York, moved
amid applause, that the convention
proceed to the nomination of candi
dates for Governor. The motion
was carried and Wilbur Porter, of
Watertown, nominated Roswell P.
Flower. W. C. DeWitr, of Brook
lyn, nominated Alfred C. Chapin.
John R, Fellows, on behatf of New
York city, seconded tbe nomination
of Mr. Flowers and said the enthu
siasm with which Mr. Flowers' name
was received left no doubt of the ac
clamation with-which it will be re
ceived throughout the State. He
briefly reviewed Mr. Flowers' career
and especially referred to his efforts
in Congress in behalf of the World's
Fair in New York. One of the is
sues to be made in the coming cam
paign was that New York had been
deprived of that great boom.- He
enlogrted Mr. Flowers' charity and
public spirit: He was indeed the
flower of our manhood.
Mr. Uatlin, of King's county, took
the platform and said : Kings coun
ty bad never bolted the ticket and
this camp-meeting oratory was uo
necessary. He eulogized Mr. Chap-
in aud referred to Sir. Flower as
under suspicion of being a boodle
candidate. This way tho Republi
can view. The party ought not to
have a candidate subject to criti
cism by the enemy. A candidate
identified with largo financial trans
actions was looked upon askance
by the masses. The size of a bar
rel head ought not b contiol tbe
convention. Cbapiu ld demons

fore, and was stronger now than

spoke of Flower and the roll call
was Iheu beguu. Flower had every
thing until Kings county was reach
ed. The 36 votes of that couuty
were cast for Cbapiu. Then the
Flower votes began aain. Queeus
county cast four for Chaj in and 2
for Flower. The roll call reunited
Flower 334, Cbapiu 41! applause,
Chairman Adams ot Kings county
moved to make tbe nomination un
animous. There was great cheer
iug, and the whole Convention stood
up, and everybody yelled and waved
his hat. The baud played "Hail to
The Chief' and cheers veie given
for Kings Co. Air. Adams said his
motion was tbe result of a meeting
ot the Kings county d.-leyation Ibis
morning (renewed cheering). Gen
eral Catlin seconded the motion and
it was carried without disenf. A
committee was appointed to esc )rt
Mr. Flower to the convention and
then McClelland wan recognized.
He placed Mr. Sbeehan, of Buffalo,
in nomination for Lieutenant Gov
ernor and paid a glowing tribute to
his friend, Mr. McLaughlin, of Mon
roe, and D. Cady Hernck, of Alba
ny, seconded tbe nomination and it
W88 made by acclamation. There
was no other name predated aud
the nomination was made unani
mous. The other nominations,
those of Frak Campbell for comps
troller, Elliott F. Dauforth for
treasurer, S. W. Ro&endale, of Al
bany, for Attorney General, and
Martin Scheuck ror State Engineer
and Surveyor were made and put
through with. a rosh.- The new
Sta e Committee was then named.
Mr. Flower app eared in tbe ball
and was greeted with great cheers
ing. He took the platform and ext
pressed his thanks for the honor
conferred and promised that if be
was elected he would do bis best to
give a plain business administration.
He referred to a few of the issues
before tbe people and dwelt upon
the loss of World's Fair as one of
the things which the Republican
parry would have to explain before
the people in the campaign. After
Mr. Flower bad concluded Mr. Shoe
ban appeared and spoke a few
wcrds ot thauks. Chairman Raines
ttieu called for three cheers for tbe
ticket aud the convention adjourned
