And a lassie was coy and hard to please ,
So no took the gold fever and went o'er the

Faraway then hesalled.to a lane that seemed

And the whole of his fortune lie bore with

A pair of strong arms and a stress of brown
hair.
Toll was all vanity , life hard and stern.
And he thought of the farm , and the silvery
burn ,
And the Insslo he loved , and lie longed to re

A fond mother's heart la slnplng away.
And a dear little lasalo no longer nays "Nay. "
Wedded at the Fair.
Chicago Herald : The third day of the
nnnunl fair and exposition of the Wiscon
sin Industrial association at Rncino at
tracted the largest tittondnnco scon at
the fairgrounds this year. The sensa
tional feature of the any was the nnvr-
riiigo of Jabez Deresford and Mary
Augusta VVeob , who were wedded at the
fair grounds. The association offered a
f 00 set of furniture to any couple con
senting to be married at the fair , and
Horesford and his bothrothed realized
their opportunity to nohiove fame and a
furniture set , at the same tlmo avoiding
the customary fco to the parson. The
marriage took place In front of the
grand stand at 11 o'clock in the morn
ing. A platform was erected , decorated
with evergreens and surmounted by a
gilded yoke , from which depended two
nooses of evergreens. The improvised
sanctuary looked like a fancy gallows ,
dreat crowds had gathered around the
grand stand in anticipation of the event.
Shortly bcforu 11 a brass band began
to play dolorous music of a funeral-march
style , and word was passed that the
couple was en route. The crowd in
creased till nearly everybody on the
grounds was in the viciuiuy of the grand
stand , trying to get a view of the happy
pair. The band relented and changed
the tune to a lively air as Jabez and
Augusta drove up in an open carriage.
They were greeted with cheers , and with
great self-possession passed in front of
the grand stand to the platform. Jabez
helped his bride up the stops , and both
struck attitudes under the yoKo. Miss
Webb is n nice-looking young woman
about twenty years old. She is a blonde
and has a pleasant face and a neat fig
ure. She was quite prettily dressed in
purple velvet and white silk , surmounted
by n heliotrope ! bonnet. She comes from
Antloch , 111. IJeresfora is a farmer of
Hickory , Lake county , 111. Ho has a
pood-humored face , and is prepossessing
In appearance. Ills costume consisted
mainly of white kid gloves. The cere
mony was performed by Justice Hoyera
of Iluoino , who has only ono arm , but ho
tied the knot us well and quickly as if ho
had half a dozen. Jabez punctured the
final sentence with a kiss on his bride's
check a kiss that could bo heard nil
over the grounds. The osculation was
the flignal for a burst of apuliiuso and
loud cheers , auiid which and the con
gratulations of many well wishers Mr.
and Mrs. Uorcsford Jmnpod into their
carriage ntid were driven away. The set
of furniture was sent after them , and
Jabez and Mary Augusta have the satis
faction of knowing their wedding was
more largely attended than any ever
celebrated in Wisconsin. Heresford
told the Herald reporter that ho saw the
nssociation's advertisement in a paper ,
nnd thought it a good plan to make that
much furniture easily , and as Mary was
willing , they volunteered.
. The Rothaohlld Wedding.
Purls Correspondence : There have
been a number of fashionable marriages
in the course of the week , nnd among
the number was one which dragged so
long that every one said it was "high
time when it wus announced. I moan
the wedding of Mile. Heloue do Roth
schild and the Belgian cavalry otlicor.
Ilo is rich in names , but until she became -
came his wife bocould | not boast of being
rich in worldly gear. The style and
titles of the great heiress in question
nro liaron Stephen van Nyovolt , ynn
Iliinr , van Zuylen , He is quito genuine ,
liclglnns nro generally what they look
ami sot up to bo. Hia wealthy bride
worships him , and I dare say she will
reoftain satisfied with horbur&am. Her
relatives are furious , and find fault with
lier for not having chosen a more intel
lectual husband. They forgot that she
was shut out from most things which induce -
duce a tastu for mental superiority. The
men who had climbed to eminence by
their talents , and whom she was allowed
to see , were all of the fogy ago and
patriarchs.
The marriage of the baron so rich m
"vans" and of the lady so rich in gold
did not take place with the accompani
ment of bell , music and candle light , it
liaving been by special dispensation sol-
unmixed or. rather , got through in
the dingy little sacristy of St. llonoro
il'Kylan. This was because the bride
iliil not renounce Judaism and get bap-
ti/.tul. A priest cannot marry a Jew or
Jewess to a Christian before an altar , and
ho can only join their hands
with maimed rights in the sa
cristy by special dispensation from
the pope. The ecclesiastic who
blessed the llolgian baron nnd thu
heiress on this occasion was Bishop Sis-
Eon. I like to sco n bride go from the
Internal homo with all the triumphal
circumstance of white satin nnd orange
blossoms , aud followed by a long train ol
brilliantly dressed and sympathizing
friends. There was nothing of this ixl
the triple "van" nnd Rothschild marri
ngo. But there was that admirable
thing without which every bridal is n
poor pair a bride's face expressing ttu
most entire confidence in the man fllu
had resolved to take , for better or foi
worse , against the long-kopt-up opposi
lion of the powerful tribe to which sbi
belonged by birth.
The position of the bridegroom ai
Brussels is a good one. Ho is it brother
Ill-law of M. Van do Voldodo van Zuylen
whoso name is familiar to every reado ;
of thu Independence Beige , or any cthoi
Brussels paper. Yteconito Louis di
Thury , ono of the bride's witnesses , be
loujrs to the most clerical of the Fauboun
St. tierniain families. Mr. Saudford , tin
other witness , is an American , and wa
in diplomacy. I think , seeing that tin
newly married baroness is ono of tin
greatest heiresses of the day , it is wol
both for her and the baron that she ha
taken her own course in getting mar
ricd and broken with her tribe In doini
so. She will obstinately , if she ha
womanly pride , shut her eyes to his Uttl
faults nnd keep down her own whim
nmi humors when indulgence in then
might tend to weaken the bond whicl
holds them together. The best wives nr
thoao who have raado a choice ngulns
strenuous oppositiou from their own rel
ntives. The reason is that they wouli
not for the world expose themselves t
bo reminded of till the evil that was pro
dieted of their willfulness before the
plunged into the slavery ot the ring. .
Married and ImprUnnotl ly ) a "Count1
. ' . New. York Journal : That was.a strung
case which was unearthed porno time ago
in Florence , Italy , by Mr. A. Schnylor
Crosby , who was then United States consul -
sul at that place , says the Indianapolis
Journal. Ono day ho was conducting a
party of Americans through the principal
places of interest In the city , and among
the places visited was the insane asylum.
As the party was going through the
wards ono of the Inmates of the institu
tion suddenly called out to Mr. Urosb ? :
Oh , sir , yon nro an American , are you
not ? ror God's sake como hero and lis
ten to my story. " Mr. Crosby went to
the cell from whence the piteous appeal
came , and saw before the oars a woman
much emaciated but apparently sane.
He listened to her story , and , after mak
ing inquiries , set himself to work to pro-
euro her release , In which ho succeeded
after a great deal of trouble. The
woman's story was as follows :
She was born in Mobile , Ala. , of
wealthy parents , and being attractive in
appearance she had n number of suitors
for her hand in marriage. One day an
Italian came to the city. Ilo was linild-
some nnd wrote the prefix count before
his name. Ho soon got himself intro
duced into the best circles of Mobile so
ciety , ana by his pleasing and courte
ous bearing became a great favorlto
among the ladies of this place. Ho be
came n constant visitor at the house of
Miss , the subject of this story , nud
intimacy began to ripen Into love on the
part of the girl.
Her parents did not approve of the
match , but the handsome Italian portrayed
trayed In glowing terms the wealth of
his affection for her and the beauties of
the lovely Florentine homo which ho
wished her to become the mistress of. At
last hla entreaties were successful , and
the young girl was married to the
"count" secretly.
When the girl's parents hoard of It
they wore enraged. Her father refused
to have anything to do with her , nnd , in
stead of giving her the fortune ho hod
intended to be tiers , settled on her a sum
of | 2,000 a year. The young couple
started for Europe , but it soon became
apparent to the wife- that her husband
was not only not in love with her , but
that his only object in marrying her waste
to procure her fortune , ana having
failed in that through the auger of her
father , he had no more use for her.
Shortly after reaching Florence the
count had three physicians called in and
tho\v made an examtnatiqn of the young
girl , much to her surprise and terror.
On the following day a covered wagon
came to the door ana she was told to got
insido. She tainted , nnd when , she re
covered she found herself in an insane
asylum. There she remained for over
two years , until she was found by
Mr. Crosby. Meanwhile the husband ,
who had caused her incarceration , wrote
homo to the girl's parents that she was
very sick ana described the expense ho
was putting himself to in order to take
proper care of the girl ho loved so well.
The father was too proud to allow him to
bear the full expense of his daughter's
cxnonso under the circumstances , and
the annual remittances continued to
como along. The count paid $500 to the
keeper of his wifeand , lived in good style
on the remaining $1,500. As soon as the
news reached Mobile of the trno state of
affairs , however , the remittances sud-
ponly stopped and the young girl was
received home with open arms. The
count is still living in Florence , but ho
has to resort to other means of earning a
living.
Marriage of Actresses.
Rochester ( N. Y. ) Democrat : One of
the most celebrated marriages of an
actress in the United States was that of
Julia Dean. She was , about thirty years
ago , what Mary Anderson is to-day the
most popular of all women on the stage.
She married Dr. Paul Hayne , of South
Carolina. Ho wus a son of Senator
Hayne , whoso great debates with Web
ster nro renowned. But he was poorand
thn stage career of his wife was not in
terrupted by marriage. They did not
live happily together. She made a Cal
ifornia tour with the most satisfactory
results. In 18CO she was divorcedand in
1807 she married James Cooper. She
died in the city of Now York. Hayno is
in San Francisco , practicing medicine.
Mrs. John Hoey , known as Mrs. Uussoll ,
of forty years ago , was , bctoro Miss
Kingdon's marriage with Gould , perhaps
the wealthiest lady who over married
from the stage. She married John llocy ,
now the principal man ot the Adams'
express company , the owner of Long
Branch and the possessor of great wealth
in Now York.
Ijova Triumphant.
LouisTillo Courier-Journal : Thomas
Lewis and Miss Ida Maupin , residing
near Magnolia , m Laruo county , eloped
to Jcfibrsonvillo yesterday morning and
were married by Justice Lee at Strauss'
hotel. For sometime the attentions ol
Lewis to Miss Mauphm have been objec
tionable to her father. Last Monday
Mr. Mauphin was called away from
homo on business to remain until yester
day. Strict orders wore given the girl'K
mother to keep a close watch on her ,
aud during the absence of Mr. Mauphiu
the mother and daughter occupied the
same bed. To prevent the yonng lad }
from slipped away , a stout cord was
nightly attached to the wrist of each ,
Lewis watched the house every night ,
but when Friday night dawned no op
portunity had been offered for eloping
with his sweetheart. A scheme to induce
her to intend church near by was con
voyed by Miss Mauphin by a young Iulj :
friend. The plan worked well , and after
the services , OP ono pretext or another ,
Mrs. Mauphin was kept up until she was
BO sleepy that when she retired she for
got to take the usual precaution. Shortly
after midnight the dash for liberty was
made to where Lewis was in wuitinc
with a buggy. An uneventful trip foi
lowed to this city by train from tin
nearest station. From hero they crossci
to Jofforsonvillo and wore quickly mar
ried.
Bashful Bridegroom.
Rochester , ( N , Y. ) Herald : A justici

joined n pair'who wrro so ercbarrassot
that they hardly know what they won
doing. The man worn a white straw hat
which ho whirled on his tingor befon
the ceremony began. When told t <
stand up he jumped before the justice
with great alacrity. For a few moment
ho did not know what to do with his hat
but finally found his way out of the dii
iiculty by putting it between his knees
This was too much for the bride.Vitl \
the handle of her parasol she caught th
hat , pulled it from its position , and then
abashed at her audacity , dropped ha
and parasol to the lloor.
The same justice tells astory of anotho
couple who came to bo married. Th
man was dreadfully puzzled , and with
out realizing the act pulled a cigar fror
hm pocket and began twirling it around
When that portion of the ceremony wa
reached where bride and groom joi :
hands he happened to have ths cigar i
his right hand. What to do with ho ciga
ho apparently did not know. The jus
tlco paused a ruinuto , nnd then again d !
reeled tlio pair to join hands. By thi
time the poor fellow's cmbarrassmeij
was painful. Ho gtivo one agonizin
look at the justice of the peace and Blue
tlio cigar in his mouth. Before the cen
mony could bo concluded tbo justice hate
to take the cigar from between the man
lips.

Waddings In Old Trinity *
Now York Sun : Assistant Sexton Pat
terson was sitting comfortably tilled
backward upon two legs of n stool , the
other morning , just Inside the south door
of Trinity church. "Speaking of wed
dings. " ho said , "wo got lots of them
hero. People like to get marrind in old
Trinity you know. Everybody that
spunks English has heard of the church ,
and folks like to tell their neighbors they
wore married hero. Why. bless you ,
when they got to bo granumams they
will pat their children's children on the
head and say. 'Your grandpa nud I
wcro married in Trinity church. ' And
then It's really the finest place in thu
world to get married in , nnyhow. Its so
solemn and still hero , every surround
ing is so beautiful , the very air is awe
some , the light comes through the windows
dews softened and tinted , and the organ
sounds so wonderful , interrupting the
softened noises from thu street. 1 don't
wonder they like it.
"We have two or three weddings a day
hero sometimes. Then again , wo have
but two or three a week , and souic weeks
wo don't have any. |
"All kinds of people get married here.
Some como from way oil'on purpose for
it. We had a couple from Philadelphia
yesterday and not long ago an English
lady that was hero visiting got married.
She said sho'd stay single but what she'd
bo married m Trinity , Her sister was
married here , and she would be , too. A
southern congressman dropped in hero
once , and was married off-hand , just as
if It was nothing to him. They generally
make arrangements before hand with
ths head sexton.
"What do they give the minister ? Oh ,
$10 for the minister and sexton together.
That's the regular fco , but sometimes
they give a great deal more. Dr. Diy
marries folks sometimes here , but not
the stray couples that I've boon talking
about. No ono hears of half the weddings
iu this church. "
First Foreign Wedding In Corcn.
The Corean correspondent of the Japan
Mail writes as follows from Seoul on the
8th of July : The first foreign wedding
iu Seoul to9k place July 5 , 1887. The
parties forming the union wcro the Uev.
D. A. Hunker , one of the teachers in the
royal Coroan college , established a year
ago. nnd Miss Annie Ellers , physician to
her majesty the queen. All the foreign
residents of the capital wore presentand
some of the native officials. The pre
sents to the bride were many and various ,
the richly aud beautifully embroidered
screens sent by thn queen attracting a
great deal of attention.
Prince Min Ypng Ik , who a year ago
loft for China in. such great haste , re
turned a short time ago with n few more
ideas of reform. Ono of these is to dress
the soldiers according to foreign style ,
and to do away with the rank of kulso.
The kulso is a soldier ono gradn above
the ordinary rank , and attached as a
special cuard of honor to native officials
nnd foreign legations. There nro 3,000
of these iu the country , and the idea is
to maUc them serviceable to the govern
ment , rather than to individuals , in case
ot necessity.
A Mayor Who Married lllnisolr.
Galignani's Messenger : The tribunal
of Sarlat , Dordognc , has just annulled
the marriage of the mayor of small com
mune in that district. A few weeks ago
the official referred to gave notice of Ins
Intention to marry his sister-in-law , a
pretty brunette of twenty summers , and
it was understood that the deputy mayor
would preside at the ceremony. On ar
riving at the Maine the bride and the
bridegroom waited some time , but ns the
deputy mayor failed to bo punctual and
the prospectivoiy happy couple had been
threatened with hostile demonstrations ,
the mayor thought it would be as well to
proceed with his own marriage in pro-
prin persona. lie got rather flurriedand
forgot to go through some of the legal
formalities. Hut all's well that ends
woll. The disunited spouses are to be
married iu a few days.
Afternoon Wnddinga.
Chicago Tribune : Afternoon weddings
are now of far mere frequent occurrence
in England than weddings in the fore-
noon/not only among ultra-fashionablo
people as heretofore , but among society
in general. The advantages of this
change are numerous , and convenience ,
economy and sociability may be ranked
among them , Under the head of conven
ience may first bo mentioned the strain
that is now taken off a bridal party as re
gards the hour of arrival at the church ,
and when the dlsianco was considerable
this strain was the more acutely foil , and
the fear of not being in time was the up
permost thought in the minds of most
brides when completing their bridal
toilets , n state of perturbation not calcu
lated to engender an unruflled demeanor
on this important occasion.
Marriage of thn t'ope' * Nicco.

S.3f ants were listening -eagerly , when-
10 broadiliouldercd youth en
torcd the room with a young lady on his
arm. Ho wus overflowing with toy. His
face was constantly wreathed lu smiles
which seemed to fill the gloomy court
room. She was happy , too bashfully ,
surreptitiously happy and she looked
bashfully from behind horstalwart lover's
arm. They wanted to bo tnnrrlod. The
divorce suit was suspended at otico , for
the court will stop unmaking marriages
to make ono nt any time. The ceremony
was performed. The young man drew
out a | 5 bill and placed it bcforn the
judge. With the brightest smile and n
speech as gallant as a Chesterfield could
make ho presented it to the brido. The
little lady accepted the money , nnd with
n , quick , graceful movement she drew
the boquot of roses from her bosom and
placed it before the judge. With a bow
ho received the rosebuds , and a few mo
ments later ho returned to the divorce
suit , but the sweet odor pervaded thu
dingy court-room all that day.

FOUND AND LOST A FORTUNE
Tough Struggle of the Discoverer of the
How York Oil Fields ,
O. P. TAYLOR'S RISE AND FALL.
How the Plucky Old Man Poshed For
ward Over Obstacles and Died
at the First Dawn of
HncccsB.
"I see Professor Orton ngroos with
Dee Smith that neither oil nor gas will
bo found near Omaha , " remarked a
rather seedy looking iridlvidual who was
standing at the corner of Fifteenth and
Farnaiu streets yesterday. "Well , I don't
believe a word that these professional
geologists say. I'm an old driller my.
self and I 'learned my trade1 under old
O. P. Taylor.
"Who Is O. P. Taylor ? Didn't you ever
hear of him ! Why , ho was the man who
discovered the Now York oil Holds , and
ho was a dandy. Ho didn't bellovo in
any science , excepting such as ho had
himself. Ho ran a cig.ir factory in
Wellsyille , N. Y. , for a good many years ,
and had saved considerable slutF. Well ,
when the excitement over the big wells
in the Bradford Hold began to die out , old
Taylor got it into his head that the coun
try needed more oil and that ho was the
man to discover it. So ho started out to
look for a location and to lease lands.
Pretty soon ho struck a site that suited
him , aud ho went to work and leased
every bit of land for miles around. He
didn't take any partners , but went it
alone , and when ho had got nil the land
that there was to bo had ho started to
drill his lirst well. Ho nailed it Triangle
No. 1 , for ho had an ideu that if the first
well didn't strike a good third sand , ho
would operate in triangles until he struck
the oil belt , which ho was dead sure nm
somewhere in that neighborhood.
"Well , down went Triangle No. 1 , nml
there were good indications that it was
in the right spot. But when the well wus
down to about the right depth , along
came some Standard Oil fellows and
'fixed' ' the drillers. So they put up a job
on old O. P. , and , although there was oil ,
they plugged up the hole so It only
showed up for two or three barrels.
Then ho started in on Triangle No. 2 ,
and had the same game played on him.
Triangle No. ! ) came out just the same.
"By this time Taylor's tobacco busi
ness had gone to the dogs and most all
his money was in holes in the ground.
But he wasn't discouraged. Ho started
another well , mortgaging his business
and disposing of all the real estate ho
had. That well came in just like the
others. Then he pawned his wife's jew
elry and began to bore once more. How
ho did cuss every time a well came in
dry ! Ho was the very worst cussor I
over know , and the air was bluer than a
whctstono when ho would open up on his
luck , the Standard Oil company and the
world in general.
"Finally ho ran out of funds and
couldn't raise another dollar. Every
body palled him a crazy nrank , a fool and
everything else they could think of. But
the old man kept on , plugging away by
himself. Ho couldn't hire any drillers ,
for ho couldn't p-iy. The world seemed
dead nut against him , nml ho couldn't
find a friend who would speak a kind
word for him. His long , curly hair began
to got gray , nnd ho had a dejected , worn-
out look. His everlasting grit , though ,
held out.
"Finally ho wandered to tlinliitlo town
of Hichburg , away off the railroad , sur
rounded by the big hills of Allcgany
county , nu'l there he talked some farmers
into boliovingr that there was oil under
their lauds. Ho put in his experience ,
they put in the money , and down went
another well. During all these years
Taylor had learned a few things , and
when the hole began to get down in the
neighborhood of third sand he never left
the derrick. Kvery time the sand-pump
came up lie was there to see what it had.
He used to make the drillers shut down
nights , and ho would screw on a cap over
the hole and sleep with his head on it ,
oven though there was snow on the
ground. He had made up his mind to
have no 'monkey-work'and there wasn't
any.
any."One day In March the drill got into
third sand , and when the pump showed
up you ought to have seen O. P. dance
and swear. It was better than a circus
and the happiest moment of his life. The
news of the strike quickly spread , and
when the well was ready to shoot the
little town was tilled with thousands of
oil men. Taylor was fairly crazy , and
after the torpedo had exploded and
shown up a gusher of sevonty-five bar
rels ho was the hero of the occasion.
Everything mean that had been said
about him was taken back , for the crazy
crank was now a millionaire and had
made fortunes for land owners through
out the county.
"But O. P. was a millionaire only in
expectation. After ho had proved that
he was right about oil in Allcgauy
county , ho had nothing further to keep
him up. Hard work had ruined hie
health , and before ho had beirnn to real
ize his good fortune ho was taken with a
hemorrhage and died. The whole countj
turned out to his funeral and the papers
printed tender obituary notices , bul
merciless creditors swallowed up whal
little the old man had loft , and the for
tunes made in the New York oil ficlil
have gone into strangers' pockets. "
