The FcvorUh Excitement ot Expec
tation The Lavish HospitMUy
'A Tlmo When Wcdilln's '
VV B Wcildln'a. "
Now York Graphic.
Fifty year * ago old Roanoke was In r
feverish state of excitement ovoran oren
which was dostlnod to nnlto the interest )
and estates of two cf the oldest and moo
Influential families ia Virginia. Woolu
in advance the clans had been gathering
from the neighboring states to do honoi
to the occasion , and when the day of the
wedding arrived "Oakland , " the ancoitra
homo of the btido , was taxed to its ut
most to accommodate the nnmproua
gnests. "Peyton Hall , " the adjoining
estate , owned by a relative , also throw
open its hospitable doors , nd was soon
filled to overflowing by the wedding com
pany that cnmo with big box , little box ,
bandbox and bundle. Cots were placed
In parlors and libraries , pallets laid on
every available floor , whllo each lounge
and oofa had one or more occupants.
In thoio days a wedding could not be
an Impromptu affair , for the neil of "Old
Vlrglnny" was not then , as It now Is ,
crossed and recreated by Innumerable
railroads , and anppllos had to bo wagoned
over hundreds of miles of territory. On
this cession the confectionery and every
thing which could not bo manufactured
upon the plantation was brought from
Richmond by canal-boat to Lynchburg
and from thunca to Roanoke , u distance
of several hundred miles , a week being
consumed In the operation. Nothing
IBB was talked of for months in advance ,
nd the old county was stirred to iti
ontro , for naught S3 revolutionizes a
onntry place as a wedding. The neigh
boring forests paid their tribute in holly ,
nd the traditional mistletoe bcugh was
usponded on high , under which , If and
ictim was caught , she was compelled to
lay the accustomed forfeit , which
ould bo claimed by and
Cavalier In the room so inclined.
FHEPAniNO TOR THE FEAST.
Chickens , ducks and turkeys , which
tad been kept In fattening coops for
nooks , lost their head , whllo rotund plgi ,
tvith apples in their mouths , looked
lacldly upon the preparations for their
onsutnptlon. Now gowns were given
o the female servants , whllo the brass
mttons on the livery of the males were
irlghtenod to a startling degree. Old
'Uncle Bon" was the centre figure In
bin last brigade , and the amount of I" "
in
ortanco with-M"-V"r " aTtllyfin
, , ,
have doubled Itself
uvua ouuuiea to on
its occasion , and ho became a most
renounced autocrat , dictating terms to
Is own color and offering suggestions to
Is master , who , as ho had been a faith-
ul old butler for many years , listened to
im with the utmost consideration.
Oakland and Poyton Hall stoodsidp by
ide. Each of these rich estates retained
nd respected the traditions which had
oen handed down from generation t ?
enoration by these with whoso names
bey were identified. Old landmarks
vero c refully preserved ; old trees ,
lending bnncath the weight of years ,
wore jealously kept'in place by artificial
means , while from the walla of the Im
mense salons looked many generations In
lowdered wig ? , rufllos and short clothes.
7ho owners of these estates were gentle
men * of the "old Bohool , " chivalrous ,
lonorablo and high-toned ; quick to re
sent an insult or to avenge a wrong and
nst as quick to pardon an offense whcro
loner was not Involved. They were of
; ho stock which gave to Virginia her
Light-Horse Harry Lee , JohnKondolph ,
[ lobort E. Leo , and scores of others who
lave mode that state f imous as the moth
er of statesmen.
Many a gay party of gentlewomen and
gay cavaliers galloped down those avc-
mes to the summons of the hunter's
icrn calling them to a fox hunt or a doer
chase , to return in the evening to a brill-
ant ball or whist party , whore egg nog
and hot apple toddy were the features of
: ho evening , while the "antlera" or the
"braih , " trophies of the day's sport ,
were prominent in the decorations.
Preparations were made on the moit lav
ish scale , and although all the accessories
of the supper had to bo wagoned hun
dreds of miles thu wedding Is ro'orrod to
by octogenarians imd centenarians of the
county as one of the finest over wit
nessed In Old lloanoke. "Tnat waa a
time when weddln's was weddln's , " re
cently eald an old gray-haired servant ol
the family who still retains a vivid recol
lection of the event.
i
THE NICII1T OF THE WEDDING.
When the night of the wadding ar
rived thu clans Imd gathered from fai
and near , and it is eafo to say that neves
was there a more brilliant assemblage In
old Roanoke county.
Many of the guests came hundreds ol
miles In private convoyances. There
were no commodious hotels nor by
where comfortable quarters could bo ob
tained for man and beast , consequently
the hospitality of both Oakland and
Peyton Hall was severely taxed. At one
tlmo sixty extra horses stood In the sta
bles of Peyton Hall alone , a llko num
ber also testing the corn bins of Oakland.
Ool. William 0. Preston , the distin
guished southern statesman , whose wil
and eloquence added brilliancy to more
than ouo presidential administration ,
drovoall the way from his homo In South
Carolina , four In hand , whllo the ex
press-wagon , containing the maids and
valets of the party brought up the rear.
Mrs. Floyd , the wife of Governor Floyd ,
also came driving four-ln-hand. In fact ,
this was the general styie it that time ,
and yet wo find that the people of fifty
years ago wore quite aa tenacious in re.
gard to theto matters as their descendant !
are to-day. Snuff-colored equlpagef
mounted high In the air on Immense
springs were en roglo. To attempt to
descend from ono of these swinging con
veyances was tantamount to joopordlzlnf
a life insurance policy , for the frail stepi
wiggled and tuined at every moment ,
and it required the skill of a tactician U
ascend or descend without making a fain
pai.
pai."How well I remember that wedding'
said a Virginia matron to me a few dayi
ago. "I was only a child then at 'Pey
ton hall , ' and children in these day
were not as they are now , promlnen
features of such oecaiiom , but 1 dlstlne4.
ly recollect my old black mammy put
ting a oloan apron on me , taking mo b ;
the hand and showing mo all the nlc
things , then promising if I'd bo a gooi
girl that sho'd give me an orange the fol
lowing day. " Think of a child in thi
d y and generation being contented witl
the promise of an orange the day after
wedding ? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Relations of Color and Flavor ,
Mr. Emroett S. Goff records in th
American Naturalist some Investigation
ho has made to detormtno whether there
may not bo K law of relation between thn
color and Ihvor in f cults i\nd vegetables ,
Ho wai led to hii experiments by the ob <
servotlon that In several fruits nnd vege
tables , such as onions , currants , toma
toes , nnd raspberries , white or light col
ored flesh is accompanied by milder am
more dollcito fhvor than oxlati In other
varieties of the lame fruit or vegetable
having n dark colored flesh ; also that
Bjmo vegetables are "blanched" to glv <
them n mnro delicate fUvor. The nsnn
aim in improving the vitalities of fruits
and vegetables Is to intensify the doiira
bio qualities and eliminate the undcslra
bio ones , It Is evident , therefore , Mr ,
Goff say * , that if the color of the flesh
has relation to Its fl vor and tondarno SB ,
wo have a valuable Index In the work oi
selection. If by whitening the flesh of a
fruit wo can ollmlnotn acid and solidity ,
or If by darkening the flesh of another
fruit , already too tender and insipid , In
the same way vro can heighten its char
acteristic fhvor and increase its firmness ,
wo have gained a now faculty in making
the products of nature subservient to our
wants. BIr. Goff supports his view by
the citation of a numbpr of fruits and
vegetables of pcculuritioj , and quotes
descriptions by various authors , which
appear to bo In agreement with It.

Secret medicinal preparations may bo
good , but they may bo iojarlous. The
lyttem should bo discouraged. Partlcu-
arly should mothers rafuso to give their
children remedies the Ingredients cf
which they and their physicians do not
enow. Many remedies for children are
absolutely dangerous. Godfrey's Cordial ,
Dalby'a Carminative , Batornann'a Drops ,
Syrup of White Popplos , Soothing Syrup
nnd Paregoric all contain morphine or
opium in sonio form. Wo know of but
ono remedy for children which defioa
mysticism and bean upon its libels a list
of Its components. The vegetable Gas-
torla has acquired its popularity at a cor-
'ector of children's ailments , not alone
> ecanso Ib is a reliable medicine , but
rom the fact that Its label inspires confi-
lenco. Wo shall hail the time when
Jatln prescriptions and secret remedies
cense to bo the means through which nn-
irinclpled empirics may impose upon a
rednlous public.
Xho Sorantou Artesian Well.
Nearly three years ago the Lackawanna
ron and Company began to sink an nr-
cslan neil not fir from the main works
of the company at Scranton , Pa. Goolo-
Ists expressed the opinion that canatant
low of water could be obtained by bor-
ng 1,000 feet. The work was carried
n under the supervision of William
MoEachan. The diameter o
was ehhUnchtfonB -
tad gone several hundred feet below the
owest coal deposit and had pused
brough strata of sand , conglomerate
nd clay. The well had then reached a
opth 300 feet below the sea level. For
months thereafter the drill was kept
msy. Last week it reached a point 2-
00 feet below the surface , and water
was found. It arose to the top of the
well , but the ovetilow.was so small that
lioio rras no prospect that its volume
would bo enllislout to supply the mills.
) ho company concluded to abandon the
work and ordered the machinery to be
emoved. Mr. MoEachan , hosrever ,
.dvanccd the theory that water
n abundance arose from the
> oHorn of the well to a soft stratum a
hort distance below the lower vein of
oil , through which It flowed away tone
, no south. Ho prevailed on the officials
o lot him try an experiment. He ba-
leved that the flow of water would ba
jreatly increased if the well was tubed
rom the top to a paint balow thn soft
stratum. Tuesday the tubing wai com-
iloted , and Immediately an olgnt-inch
troam of water spurted seven feet above
he surface and has continued to do so
over eince.

The Story of the "Arknns B Trrvrolor , "
In nn Interview with the venerable
Jess Toito , a well-known musician , now
83 yours of ago , tho40lnctnnati Commer
cial Gazalto says :
Several yrars slnco , when Tosso was
traveling the State of Arkansas , on his
way to Texis , railroads being us yet unheard -
hoard of any stage lines limited , he was
obliged to traverse the whole distance on
foot oren horsobaok. Ono evening abont
dusk ho cimo across a log house stand-
lag fifteen or twenty yards from the road ,
and Inclosed by a low rail fence of the
most primitive description. In the door
mi a ninn playing the violin. Totso rec
ognized the tune as "Tho Arkansas Trav
eler , " which was at that time the most
popular tnno in that region , and which
ho had hiuisolf composed. The man kept
repeating the first part of the tnno ever
and ever again , as ho did not know the
second parr. At the tlmo the traveler
reached the house it was raining very
hard , and ho was anxious to obtain shel
ter from the storm , although the homo
looked anything but n shelter , as It was
covered with olapbords , and the rain was
leaking In at every crack. The old man's
daughter seemed to bo getting supper ,
wbilo a small boy was laving the table ,
and the old lady sat In the doorway near
her husband admiring the music.
The stranger , on coming up , said :
"How do yon do ? " The man merely
glanced at him. and , continuing to play ,
