C, April 23.?A marriago took place here last Sunday which had some sensational features in connection with it. The sensa? tional part occurred about two miles in the country and the ceremony was performed in town. The part that took place in the country and as rela? ted to us by an eye witness, was about as follows: The contracting parties, a Mr. Bryant and a Miss Sherman, had on several previous occasions tried to "run away and get married," but were prevented from doing so by the father and family of the girl. Not being discouraged by their fruitless attempts in the past, they decided to try their luck again. They agreed where they would meet at a certain hour1 Sunday afternoon; and he had arranged with ar friend to meet them at the same place and hour with a buggy. They being in a greater hurry or their time faster than their friend's, met at the selected spot some time before he did! The, parents of the girl soon missed her and raised the alarm. Thp -father, the mother, the brothers, the sisters; and others ;auorn ed themselves with war paint and started in pursuit and soon found her and her intended pleasantly chattering while waiting for their friend, who was to furnish transportation for them to^he residence of the minister. They began to??>persuade her to forsake her lover and^return to-her father' s house, but their many earnest solicitations were all in vain. They then decided to take her back by force, and at this point a general scuffle ensued, in which all participated, and the father had a good portion of his clothing torn till it would hardly hang on his body. The young couple at last became dis? entangled from them and stepped off a few paces, He placed one arm around .his betrothed and taking a large knife in his other hand, hade them keep their distance, for she was his and that he would hold on to her at the cost of his own life. While the crowd were hesitating the man who was to furnish the buggy appeared-on the scene of action and held the family at bay until the young couple"wa's safely J seated in the buggy, in which they .departed at a lively rate of speed, and ' before &hey could be overtaken were at the residence of the Rev. Mr..May field, who soon prohouneed them man and wife.?Cur. Greenville News. .? ?. i? * ? Unman Family Statistics.

Mrs. G. was very much interested in a mission Sunday-School in one of otti? la^^?e8,'"Bays; the Evangelist, an$ap^eht|in^ourj of two feyery Suhr >-daj afternoon'; with.a class, of little; girls, poor street waifs that had been gathered in. Upon one occasion, when the last lesson had.been about the ten virgins, five of whom were wise and five foolish, the teacher asked, as was her custom, who in the -class could tell anything about the lesson of the previous Sunday. One little girl who had never been in a Sunday-school in her life unitl the week before, was on her feet in an in? stant, and said, "Please, ma'am, I ken. It was a weddin', and there was ten on 'em." And then the child stood, a touching picture, with her pinched figure and poverty-stricken dress, tell? ing in her street dialect the whole story, no point of which she lost. Pathetic as it was, irresistibly funny when she closed by saying: "And them as hasn't got no oil in their lamps says to them as has to give 'ein some; and them as has got oil i n their lamps says to them as hasn't, 'Be off wid yez, and go to the grocery and get yer own kerosene !' " Seven Pound Nugget of gold. Mr. S. J. Pemberton, of Albemarle, N. C, was talking yesterday with some friends at the station, on his way to his hotel. They were listen? ing to Mr. Pemberton's story touch? ing a gold nugget weighing seven pounds recently found in the Stanly county mines. "It was a beauty and no mistake. I had it in my own hands," said Mr. Pemberton, "but this is nothing new in our country : for gold nuggets are our most plentiful currency, and our hills are full of them. This was, however, one of the largest nuggets ever found iu the section. It is pure gold and was worth $1,500." Mr. Pemberton stated also that considerable gold was being found every day on this and other North Carolina gold properties in Stanly, Rowan, and Cabafrus counties. The nugget was found in the Ingram mine near Albemarle. In this connection it is worth knowing that the largest nugget ever found was in Australia weighing 62 pounds and that in North Carolina a nugget was once found weighing 27 pounds. Mr. Pemberton is a Stanly man and knows what he is talking about. He is Special Gaugerof the Western district and will be in the city today and posibly tomorrow.? Raleigh (A7". C.) Observer. A Study In Grammar. A teacher in one of the lower grades of a city school was endeavoring to impress upon her pupils the fact that a plural subject takes a verb in the plural. "Remember this," she said; "girls are; boys are; a girl is, a boy is. Now do you understand it ?" Every hand in the room was raised in assent. "Well, then," continued the teacher, "who can give me a sentence with girls?plural, remember ?" This time only one hand was raised, nnd that belonged to a pretty little miss. "Please, ma'am," she said, with all the assurance of primitive reasoning. "I can give you a sentence, 'Girls, are my hat on straight ?" ' ?

An incident of the Columbus avenue apartment house fire on Thursday night which was unobserved by many of the thousands of spectators was the escape from cremation of a cat from a window on the fourth floor faci?g Ninety-fourth street. While the multitude was gazing with bated breath upon Detective-Sergeant Armstrong's rescue of the sick man, Caesar Pinto, it was apparent that the flames had eatcu back into the rear of Prof, kern's flat on the top floor. A dull red glow was soon followed by the breaking of the window. At this instant "a large black cat with shining yellow eyes appeared upon the sill. It was apparent that the rooms behind were a seething mass of flames. Tom arched his back and his uplifted tail further bespoke his terror. He hesitated but a moment, and then he launched himself into space. His flight through the air was like ;that of a squirrel. His poise was per? fect and his legs were spread out as wide as possible. He descended in a long, graceful, plane, seeming to move slowly, as if buoyed up. There was a curve to the descent, as if the animal were an aeroplane. A reporter stood within five feet of the spot where Tom landed. There was no dull thud, ? although those who had followed the black streak through the air naturally ex? pected to see a cat with all of its pro? verbial nine lives' crushed out in an instant by the impact. The perpen? dicular distance was all of fifty feet, and the cat landed at a point about thirty feet east of the line of the win? dow from which he had leaped. The spreading feet of the flying an? imal seemed to group together just before the asphalt pavement was reached. For a single instant did the animal pause, as if to recover from the shock it had experienced, and then, with a long-drawn meouw that spoke only of terror, and with every hair on end, it dashed down the the brilliantly lighted street and dis? appeared in the shadows near Central Park. The cat was a pet in the fam? ily of Prof. Kern. So far as known it has not as yet come back to the scene of its great scare and still great? er Exploit'. ?New York World. A Pretty, Happy Wrl There are many plain young girls whose faces are lined with discontent and unhappiness^ There is a drawn, perplexed expression between the eyes, and the corners of the mouth have a decided droop:'. These are., the girls who have a settled idea that they are plain beyond remedy, and the distres? sing belief , has deepened the lines of dissaiisfaiaonf but in reality there is only a cloud over the face, cast by the habit of unhappiness. One morning a certain girl, whose face was under this cloud, walked out across the sunshine of the common. For a moment the gloom had lifted by the lightness of the morning, and her thoughts were unusually pleasant. "What a pretty, happy girl thStis we have just passed," she heard one of two ladies passing say to the other. She looked quickly around, with envy in her heart, to sec the pretty girl, but she was the ouly girl in sight. "Why, they mean me! Nooneever called me pretty! It must be because I am smiling." Again, as she was getting on a horse-car she heard (the fates were out in her favor): 1 'Do see that pretty girl!" "Well, I declare, I am always going to look "happy if this is what comes of it! I have been called homely all my life, and here twice in one day I've heen called pretty." S From that memorable day a new beauty has graced her social circle. Mrs. Grnndj Sajs.

What Salt Can Do. Salt in whitewash makes it stick. Salt puts out a fire in the chimney. Salt in solution inhaled cures cold in the head. Salt used in sweeping carpets keeps out moths. Salt as a gargle will cure soreness of the throat. Salt thrown on a coal fire which is low will revive it. Salt and soda are excellent for bee stings and spider bites. Salt and vinegar will remove stains from discolored teacups. Salt in water is the best thing to clean willow-ware and matting. Salt thrown on soot which has fall? en on the carpet will prevent stain. Salt on the fingers when cleaning fowls, meat, or fish will prevent slip? ping Salt put on ink when freshly spilled on a carpet will help in removing the spot. Salt in the oven under baking tins will prevent their scorching on the bottom. Salt thrown on a coal fire when broiling steak will prevent blazing from the dripping fat. ? An officer of the police detail said recently: "When I was a mounted policeman I learned of a most humane and kind method of curing a balky horse. It not only never fails, but it does not give the slightest pain to the animal. When the horse refuses to go, take the front foot at the fetlock, and bend the leg at the knee joint. Hold it thus for three minutes, and let it down, and the horse will go. Thft only way in which I can account for this effective mastery of the horse is that he can think of only one thing at a time, and having made up his mind not to go my theory is that the bending of the leg takes his mind from the original thought.?Farmand Field. ? The Chinese send three iuvita tions to the guest that they desire to see at their great repasts. The first is dispatched two days before the feast; the second on the day itself, in order to remind those they expect of their engagement; and the third just before the hour has struck, so as to show how impatient they are to see their friends arrive. i TEN DAYS IN A TREE. With Nothing But Chinese Medicines and a Pair of Boots to Eat. A Chinese miner, who, with a companion, was left in the snow amid the rugged mountains of Plu mas county, has been found, nearer dead than alive, says the Oroville Mercury. For ten day9 he lived in a hollow tree, with nothing to eat but some Chinese medicine and scraps of leather cut from his boots. When rescued by a party of white miners his feet, from which he had cut the boots for food, were terribly frozen, and he was so weak he could hardly move. The searchers could find no trace of his companion, who is certain to have perished. There are a large number of Chi? nese mining at Brown's Hill, and February 25 two of the number left the camp to go to La Porte, a dis? tance of sixteen miles, to procure some Chinese medicine for the use of the members of the camp. The weath? er was good, and the two Chinese proceeded safely over the snow to La Porte, procured the medicine, stayed over night and started back the next morning. During their trip back on the 26th a snow? storm came up and the Chinese became bewildered and hopelessly Jost in the rough, mountainous coun? try. They each had different ideas as to which direction to take, and finally quarreled and separated. One of them had not gone far before he found a hollow tree, wherein he was somewhat sheltered from tho storm. He had matches with him and built a small fire, and, crouching over that, he lived for ten days. When their companions did not return to Brown's Hiil the Chinese became alarmed and went to La Porte, where they ascertained that they had been there and started back. Then the white men about Cascade and Lumpkin were notified and search parties went out. The other day John Kitrick, while /Searching with a companion for the .lost man, noticed smoke down in a canyon. He went down there, and in a tree found the poor Chinese near? ly dead. Leaving him there, Mr. Kitrick went for help, and the un? fortunate man was taken to the set? tlement on a sled. His experience during those ten days had been fearful. As the pangs of hunger came upon him he took off his boots, parched them : over the fire, and ate them and drank the medicine. When he found his boots were all gone and , feet frozen and he was so weak he could not stand; he had given up all hope. So grateful was he that when camp was reached he gave his rescuers fifty dollars in gold dust, all that he had. He will recover. SOLICITUDE FOR HIS WIFE. A Philadelphia Man Is Concerned for Her Future. Thomas Stott, whose will dispos? ing of an estate valued at two thou? sand dollars was admitted to pro? bate in this city the other day, de? vised it all to his wife, and imposed the following restriction: "The only condition imposed is that my beloved wife, Maria Stott, shall not remarry after my decease, but re? main forever after my widow. Should this injunction be disobeyed, that is should she remarry, this my last will and testament will become null and void in so far as her inter? est is concerned, and I charge my executor or executors with the task of seeing that the benefits I desire her to enjoy from the proceeds of my estate on condition of her remain? ing my widow shall be equally di? vided, share and share alike, among my children living at the time she may remarry " In the following paragraph the testator wrote: "The object of my life is that after my decease I sin? cerely hope that nothing may occur that will harass or make the re? mainder of the days of my beloved wife, Maria Stott, anything but days of pleasure and comfort, hence the imposition of the foregoing named condition. I am impelled to throw this safeguard around her through a deep sense of the many good qualities of my beloved wife after a long and happy married life, in which I have invariably proved her to be my best counselor and faithful helpmeet, and I am conse? quently animated with a most sin? cere desire that after I have passed away she may be enabled to spend the remainder of her days in ease and quietness. Having full confidence in her wise discretion and sterling good sense that she will make a proper use of the benefits this instrument is intended to confer upon her, I hereby appoint as execu? tor Thomas B.

Jotbam was really a fine gentleman. The Sachemltes were the first to kick him off. They said all the ill they could of him in their table talk. They drank health to his confusion." ?N. Y. Journal. Soda Propelled Engines. A fireless locomotive engine was recently used on the Aix-la-Chapelle J?lich railway. The motor power is derived from soda. The invention is based on the principle that so? lutions of caustic soda, which have high boiling points, liberate heat while absorbing steam. These en? gines eject neither smoke nor steam and work noiselessly. Compared with coal-burning locomotives, soda engines show a capacity equal to the former, while they are worked with greater ease and simplicity. New Mexico's Climate. For variety of climate New Mex? ico leads the other territories of the union. This is due in part to her ex? tent from north to south, covering as it does seven degrees of latitude. More still is perhaps due to differ? ences in altitude, which, within her borders, ranges from four thousand to fourteen thousand feet. Condi? tions of aridity and rarefaction and highly electrical conditions of the atmosphere dependent upon altitude, increase the diversity beyond the mere question of cold and heat. In establishing an arbor day for the territory, the legislature at first selected two days, one for the north? ern and the other for the southern half of New Mexico, but these proved insufficient to meet the conditions of the climate to all localities. So the designation of the day in each county is now left with tho county school superintendent, who is supposed to fix it at the best season for tree planting in his locality. How to Hear a Play. Speaking of the young man who talks in public places I heard a re? tort made to him last Thursday night which was so good I was sur? prised never to have heard it before. It was at the theater, and the young man had seen the play before. Ee let everybody for four seats around know that, and he kept telling just what was coming and just how funny it would be when it did come. He had a pretty girl with him, and he was trying to amuse her. At length he said: "Did you ever try listening to a play with your eyes shut? You've no idea how queer it seems." A middle-aged man with a red face sat just in front. He twisted himself about in his scat and glared at the young man. "Young man," said he, "did you ever try listening to a play with your mouth shut?" And the silence was almost pain? ful.?Washington Post. Prof. Blackie's Last Words. "We can vouch for the truth of the following very typical and touch? ing story of the last words of the late Prof. Blackie.

"The dying man. following the more accurate pronunciation of Greek which prevails in Scotland^ gently corrected the misplaced ac? cent?'agape, my dear.' And those were the last words Prof. Blackie uttered?a strikingly characteristic combination of his lifelong ideas of kindliness and scholarship."?Lon? don Chronicle. The Literary Lottery. How great a lottery literature is Is evidenced in a striking way by the experience of George Du Maurier, who sold "Trilby" for $5,000, when the publishers' offer would have yielded him nearer $25,000, and by the previous experience of Gen. Lew Wallace, who once unsuccessfully offered the manuscript of "Fair God" for $75, while the royalties on "BenHur" have returned him $75, 000. He is said to have sold his "Prince of India" for $50,000 out? right. A Stuffed Emperor. One of the most remarkable stuffed skins on record was that of Valerian, emperor of Rome, who was taken prisoner and afterward kept in chains by Sapor, king of Persia. He was either killed in a tumult or by order of his conqueror, who was perhaps fearful of losing his valuable living trophy, in the year 269. The body of the dead emperor was treated with no more delicacy than when it had held the spark of a living one. It was skinned, the hide, after being tanned, was stuffed, painted red and suspended in the chief temple of the capital. It remained there for many years, and was the popular spec? tacle for holiday makers and visitors from the country. But it was put to more important ends than this; It was made a diplomatic engine of much significance and efficiency. In after times it often happened that the Roman envoys at the Persian court had misunderstandings, more or less serious, with the government to which they were temporarily accredited. When these ambas? sadors from Rome grew arro? gant In their demands, it was the custom to conduct them into the presence of the stuffed skin of the old ex-emperor of Rome, where they were asked if humility did not become them at sight of such a spec? tacle.?Hartford Courant.

One of them cast bewitching glances at Shell. She was several pews from him, and be wrote a note asking the pleasure of being allowed to accompany her home. He passed the note to a lady friend with the request that she pass it on. The note was passed, and attracted a great deal of attention. When the young lady receiv? ed it, she nodded assent. After the ser? vice, Shell took a position outside the door to await the coming of his charmer.

Beyond that point, as the heat will be too great for comfort, a nar? rower Bhaft is to be driven for seien title purposes only to a depth greater than has ever yet been obtained, possibly 5,000 feet. ?

D, Professor diseases of Chest and Princinles of Medicine, Medical Department, Uni? versity of Georgia. After a long and varied experience in tte use of Mineral Waters from many sources, both foreign and domestic, I am fully per? suaded that the Harris Lithia Waters pos? sesses efficacy in the treatment of afflic? tions of the Kidney and the Bladder un? equalled by any other Water of which I have made trial This opinion is based upon observation of its effects upon my patients for the past three years, during which time I have presoibed it freely and always uniformly with benefit in the med? ical maladies above mentioned.

Also, Chronic Rheu matism; Jaundice with the best results; for Diarrhoea, caused from indigestion, with success ; for Catarrh of Bladder. Cys? titis, Uric Acid Diathesis, with best results.

Tho board of supervisors of Kane county, Illinois, has drawn the line with a firm band. Hereafter no indigent family within its jurisdiction shall re? ceive aid from the publiu funds if such family maintains a dog. This is setting up a new standard, and in the futurein the region about Elgin charity will shy at the sight of a dog as though sbe were a park policeman in Augus;. The decision, it is understood, is based an purely economic and scientific lines. From a sentimental standpoint it is wrong, for there is nothing else that can look so poor as a lean yellow dog-a dog with hollow, haunting eyes, a slinking motion and a tendency to droop in tho tail. The keep of such a dog costs nothing. It was not on account of the expense involved that tho commissioners took the action noted, but rather from the scientific principle of forcing mutual self-help. They consid? ered it a negation of this principle on the part of such indigents as maintained dogs in a live state when dozens of persons in Kane county were going without sausage. ? Governor Turney, of Tennessee, has pardoned all those Seventh-day Adven tists who were imprisoned by the Courts of his State some months ago for working on Sunday. There were nine of these convicts for conscience's sake in jail at one time, but the sentonces of some of them had expired boforo Governor Turn? ey acted. They all belong to a colony of about three hundred looted in Rhea County. One of them is a minister, and all are men of good character, whose only violation of the law was this one of ob? serving Saturday and working on Sun? day. means so much more than i you imagine?serious and i 'fatal diseases result from1? 1 trifling ailments neglected Don't play with Nature': greatest gift?health. :fetliiie *? ts -.vc.ilc i ally cx- ? 1 If you are I Iout of sorts and generali hausjed, nervous, f have no apr.eti!e v and can't v.ort-, ? begin at once late- ? ing the most relia- 1 ble strengthening \ medicine,which is / Brown's Iron Bit- ? ters.
