Married Before the Footlights. ?A couple of weeks since, the Pa? lace Varieties, San Francisco, was the scene o? a marriage, the high contracting parties being Miss Vin nie Florence Radcliff, of the variety profession, and Morris "Welch, a promising clog dancer, connected with the establishment. The knot was tied on the stage, after the evening performance, the Rev. E. Z. Simmons, of the Baptist Church, Chinese missions, officiating. Fori a moment after the benediction there was an impressive silence, and then the bride was led before the curtain, and rendered "Silver Threads Among the Gold," while the rude revelers in the body of the honse yelled in a manner which made the building vibrate. Mr. Welch, the newly wedded husband, was then called out, and performed a clog dance with more than usual vigor. -? ?> ? ?-> John G. "Whittier takes the re? cent denial of the Barbara Freit chie story quite good-naturedly. Ho admits that the lady who re? lated the incident to him may have been misinformed, and says: "If so, I con only say that I shall re? gret it, not so much from a feeling of personal disappointment as that it involves the loss of the noble ideal of patriotism to which I sought to do honor. As a matter of fact, I have no wish to perpetu? ate, in any offensive sense, the in? cidents of that sad fraternal strife, the very names of whose battle? fields I would gladly see erased from our national flags." The Chinese are still wrestling with those desperate 20,000 savages on the island of Formosa, and are getting the worst of it, as usual. Gen. Ripley may be able to make some good suggestions on that point when he gets to work in the | flowery kingdom. South Carolina, Hichland County. IN THE PROBATE COURT. In re Estate of Heinreich F.
