Girl and Outfit Iteaily A Marriage Down South Wooed nnil Wedded , By SIKH * A Terrible Mistake- Odd Marriage Customs. Wooed and Wcddrd By Chicago Trihuno : There was a silent wedding in the ladies' parlor at the "Grand Pacific the other night , Cham pion lUiehan , who is employed at the postolllce , and Eleanor i'atton , a tall nnd beautiful young woman , btood be fore Dr. Gillette , the superintendent of the deaf and dumb asylum at Jackson ville. There were six bridesmaids , ono of whom was so lovely that she riveted attention , and the bridegroom was at tended by six young men in immaculate frock coats and carnations at their but tonhole. The parlor was filled with relatives and guests. Nobody spoke a word. All wore deaf and dumb. "Wheresoever thou goest I will go , " paid Dr. Gillette , adding the words of Kuth to the marriage service. And the bride , with a pretty , fond gesture , touched oyesmouth and heart , and signified that she would follow her husband "Wheresoever thou abidest I will nhido , " continued the doctor. And the bridegroom , taking the brido's hand in his , promised \ \ ith a sign that ho would cleave to her. 'The Lord do FO to mo and more , " said Dr. Gillette , "if aught hut death part mo and tliee. " The vow was made with quick , loving movements of hands and oyestho bride groom slipped the ring upon the bride' . linger , and EO , without uttering a word they were man and wife. ' A'nd then the congratulations began. The silent guests made a rush for the bride. ThoyUissed her ; they hugged her ; they cried over her. Their hands kept fluttering around the region of their heart as though saying that , on this occasion , their heart alone could speak. A pretty dumb boy of four was brought by his mother to the bride. HQ clonehcd his b tubby lists and Etamped his little foot and went through a pantomino expression of love and peed will. The bride did not answer him with bigiib. She stooped and kisbod him and a teur foil upon his * curls. "It is ono of the rare romances which have touched our life , " bald Dr. Gil- lotto. "These young folks mot at the institution , they wooed in signs , and Mr. Duchan only left to make a homo lor the beautiful girl who is now his v.-ifc. " At Mhluh the bride , following the movement of his lips , kissed his hand , and with n graceful gesture waved farewell to the company , who were in dulging in an nbunuanco of fallout gos sip , and throw iv kind look at the old colored attendant , who was crying ut the door. "It's the prettiest tliiuff I over saw , " eald ho. _ A TerrlMtt MlNtAVn. Philadelphia Lodger : About a vcar Rgo a young man , who professed to bo a Cuban , liocamo a boarder at the homo of a Hrooklyn woman. Ho was polite , and apparently , wolUto-do , an excellent musician , ' possessed of a sweet tenor voice , and BOOH won the heart of his landlady's nlofc. They wore married llvo months U O , and li\od to gether very hanpily until a week ago , when the wife , in repairing her hus band's coat , found a tintype picture of'a full blooded negro concealed in the lin ing. Although of a much older man , it bore a strong resemblance to the hus band , and this discovery called to her mind the hitherto unnoticed way in which ho often defended and upheldtho colored race , and some peculiarly ne gro expressions that he often used. As soon as ho came in she charged him with being a negro , and when ho cooly admitted the fact , she fell fainting to the lloor. When she came to she found her husband gone and a little note on her bureau explaining the absence of SlbO of her savings. The girl , who is nearly crazed with grief , has taken btups to procure a divorce. An Odd Marriage Custom. Uoiton Gazette : A curious old mar riage custom , which is still prevalent in Brittany , was recently interpreted in a novel and amusing manner. Accord ing to the custom the bridegroom , im mediately after the priest had wedded the couple , strikes his wife in the face , saying : "This is how you will faro if you will make mo angry , " and then , kissing her , ho says : "This is how you will faro if you treat mo well. " A short time ago a young Breton married a German girl , and , after the ccromony was over , began at once to practice the lirst part of the time-honored custom. The bride , who was ignorant of the "inner meaning of what she considered an iiibult , turned round on her lord and master and returned the stroke , saying : "Look hero , I do not approve of such behavior , " after which the husband is said to have performed the second part of the ceremony , sith more than the usual affection. A Itrldo in Quarantine. Now Orleans Times-Democrat : The present strict quarantine regulations came near placing a young bridal pair in a very embarrassing position. A few ( lays ago .1. M. Slaughter , agent for the Southern Express company at Tyler , was married to the lady of his choice at Ko.-s.uth , Alibs. The couple were on their way to Tler this morning , when they were taken in charge by the quar antine olllcers , who learned that they wore from Mississippi , and the blushing bride and crcAtfallon groom wore on the point of being marched out through the brubh to the quarantine camp when for tune came to their relief in the person of the company's agent hero , who was able to certify that tlio prisoners did not hail from any yellow fever district.

Bailey finally ceased to write to her and she began divorce proceedings. Six weeks later Bailey again appeared and called on his wife's lawyer. Ho said his wife was a good woman and ho loved her , but ho refused to call upon or see her. The trial of the case began last Wednesday , and Bailey was repre sented by Attorney P. B. Aldrich , of Sabina , O. Bailey himself appeared in the city , but no defense was ollercd. It was proven that ho and his wife had never slept under the same roof , and the court granted the divorce and WOO alimony. The afternoon before the decision was rendered Bailey , his law yer and his wife's lawyer were walking in the street when Mrs. Bailey was seen approaching. She was pointed out to the young man. He at once turned and Hod , and has not been seen since. Bai ley is young , peed looking , dresses well , and has traveled a great deal , and his conduct is une.xplainablo except on the hypothesis of abnormal bashfulncss. Girl nnd Outfit Ready. Chicago Herald : Jennie Fullerton , daughter of John Fullerton , who lives near Columbus , Ind. , created a sensa tion by attempting to elope in a rather novel way. Jennie is about si.\teonand yearned for the company of a certain young man. She politely asked him ono Sunday if he would run away with her. Ho said ho would bo doliglited to do so. So the damsel began to make preparations for the flight. She had an eye to business , and llrst loaded a bed stead into his father's big wagon. The necessary bedtiek and clothing were then bundled up. Next came plates , knives and forks , cup and saucers for two , a pot , tea kettle , a can of coal oil , half a bushel of potatoes , and many other things nocesfary to start house keeping. When the articles had all been carefully packed , Jennie , attired in her best Sunday dress , hitched up her father's team and started to run away. She left the ] mternal roof about H o'clock in the morning. The lover's nerve lulled him at the last momentand ho did not meet her "south of town" as agreed. Jennie , nevertheless , pluckily drove on , and it was not until late in the afternoon that her father captured hor. The next time Jennie runs away she vows she will get a lover with nerve. SlieAVnntoU Wedding Clotlion. Chicago Tribune : Delia A. Rugglos is-a pretty girl of Lynn , Mass. , who liiids herself unpleasantly conspicuous just now for the rather desperate meth ods she adopted to raise money for her wedding trousseau. The house in which she lived was burned recently , and circumstances pointed to her as knowing something of the origin of the ilro. When taxed with it she would have nothing to say about it for a long time , but linally broke down when shown a charred fragment of a corset waist found in a drawer of a bureau where ono of the lircs was tot. She said in tremulous rcconts : "Yes , I did it. I wanted to got mar ried and I wanted to raise money for my trousseau. " She then made a clean breast of the whole business , and said that she had sot the fire in several places in the hope that the house and contents would lie consumed. She had $000 insurance on about 8200 worth of furniture. She cried bitterly when bho told the story. She is engaged to an estimable young man. A Murringn Down South.

PICTURESQUE RUINS OF A MISSION CnrloH Nnrvoeio and His Weakness A Ijand ofl'oetry anil Flowers Grand Mountain Scenery A Priest's Vale. A Girl's hove. Globe-Democrat : There is a romance connected with the ruined mission of San Mateo quite as strange as it is in teresting. Thebo ruins are among the foot hills of the Sierre Nevada range of mountains , in the northern part of California , near the line that divides it from Oregon , and the adobe walls and roof of tiles have been crumbling for the past ten years , wlu'ii the mission was abandoned and the ollieiating father excommunicated from the Catholic church for the commission of a crime in violation of the holiest laws of his creed. There was a day when San Mateo was called "Tho Gem of the Missions , " for it nestled among wooded hill , in a fra grant bower of rose , mignonette and nadcira vines and through the waving foliage of the tall Eucalyptus and red wood trees that stood ahovo and around its sacred walls , glimpses could bo caught of the glistening mantle of Mount Shhasta , with its magnificent height of 11,000 feoi. Hand in hand with naturetho priests did their best to beautify the mission grounds , and rare and fragrant Mowers wore cultivated in abundance , until the air about the mission was languid with the sweetness of their breath. All traces ol these beauties have not yet been eradicated by the year.- , that have dealt so unfeelingly with the mission walls. Hose trees thrive and mingle confusedly with mignonette and honey suckle in their friendly endeavors to hide the infirmities nf the mission from the curicus eyes of the visitor. Thrifty palms wave their arms in the air , as though appealing to some invisible power to ri'scuo them from the confusion and decay that is gradually creeping in upon tliom from all sides. The walls that once echoed to the monotonous chanting of the priests' voices now give shelter to wancWing herds of cattle and stray Hocks of sheep. Five miles froru the mission Lake Tahoe lies , sot among the green hills like a mirrorof burnished steel studded with emeralds. Lake Tahoe isu beauti ful body of water , and on its shores wealthy citi/.onsof Han Francisco and Sacramento have built pretty summer residences , and hero the tired merchant and the successful professional man seeks rest from the perplexities of his business and tlio bent and rattle and jar of the city. All attempts to make Lake Taboo a public resort have failed. The land surrounding it has been mono | oli/ed by capitalists and carefully guarded from the clutches of Bpeoufators. From among the dark shadows in the center of the lake rii.es a small island , known as Spirit island , and in the summit of this rock for it is nothing clso Carlos Narvoe o , seven years ago , began the laborious undertaking ' taking of run in ?

Members of tlio Chicago Ho.itil of Trnilo 1'ilv- ate \VIiei to Chicago mid New Vork to seekers of curiosities and to love is of ranmncc. PfFftccn years ago Carlos Nnrvoe/o was the officiating priest at the mission ol San Mateo. Ho was a tall , handsome fellow , who lived much among the trees and flowers thatsui rounded the misiion. Ho had often claimed to his associates that ho was better lilted for the world than he was for tno dull , unsympathetic walls of a mission. In disposition ho was as amiable as a child , and could love with the ardor and tenderness of a woman. Many a sick man , woman and child in the country round about the mission had been nursed back to the world by his tender ministrations , and Father Narvoe/.o was almost worshiped by his parishioners. It was principally due to his care that the mission of San Mateo was so bright a snot a.s it was. Ho always had a sympathetic word for the sullerer , and his hand was never withheld from a man in trouble. Two miles from the mission was the ranch of Ferdinand Arolnirui/M | a pro porous sheep raiser. Volasqui/ had built his homo among the Sierra Ne vada shadows years before , and under his hand the land about his dwelling had yieldnd him a bounteous income , and at this time ho had settled hack from the active cares of life to enjoy in his declining years the fruit of his early labors. Tin- old Spaniard had married late in life , and his eldest daughter had passed her IKtli year when Father Narvoo/.e came to the mission. Xarifa Velasqne/ was a beautiful girl , with a richness of complexion and suppleness of lorm in- licrited from her Cnstillian ancestors , enhanced by fresh air and a life devoid of care. Of the world Xarifa know nothing , excepting as she had caught glimpses of it between the leaves of the limited number of hooks of travel who had been privileged to read. She had never bet her foot beyond the shadows of the hills among which slio had boon born and bred. She wasas artless as a child , and she went to confession at the mission with the same light and fearless stop that she trippc-d homeward to lay a kiss of love on the cheek of her mother. At the mission , as well as with the people in the country around , Xarifa was a contest. Her beauty won her friends , and her frank , open nature , devoid - void of conceit or olfUhncss , hi-ld them to her. Father Narvoo/o came to bo a frequent visitor to the Vein-quo/ dwell ing , and a great friendship sprang up between him and Xarifa. She was a child ; he was a man and had seen much of the world , and he told her of it , while she listened eagerly and curi ously. They spout many hours to gether among the hills and amid the ( lowers at the mission. Their tastes were alike. They boon discovered they were congenial companions , and before many weeks had passed Narvoe/.o found liimaolf desperately in love with his beautiful companion. For weeks ho fought madly against the ardor that bla/.cd in his'bosom , but it would not bu quieted , and , unable to restrain his mad passion , one evening , aho was escort ing Xarifa home from the mission , ho told her the story of his heart in words that burned into her vciry "oul and opened the door of her heart , letting her Into its profoundcst secret , and that secret was that bho loved the strong , handsome man who stood as media tor between her anil her God. At first she shuddered at th thought , for ho was a priest and was forbidden by the InwBof his chinch to lo > OHtichas bho. But her love fur him was pure , honest , sacred , and why should ho bo withhold from her ! > v thn church , an earthly constitution'1 ; The argument won , and together pi-lost and girl plunged deeply Into thoirbllhiful dream of love. , forgetting th- > world behind iFOR SALE * EVERYWHERE. them and the great future before them. A few months later Xarifa awakened to Jind disgrace staring her in the face , and in her anguiih of mind she natur ally turned for advice to the author of her shame. With Xarifa's revelations the scales dropped from Narvoo/e's eyes , and he t-aw hluneU faced by utter ruin. Ho saw that ho violated the most sacred laws of his church ; ho saw , too , that he had set the stamp of hhame upon the character of an innocent girl for eternity. His remorse was great , but his perplexity as to what to do was greater , and in bib excitement be did what any other man might have done. He propo-cd to Xarifa that she lly uith him to the Spirit island , in Lake Taboo , where she would bo safe from the bcorn of those , ho loved and where he could euro for her. The girl agreed to the propo sition. No other UVIMIUO to refuge boomed open to her , and t \\cekslater Ferdinand Vnlasquex. awoke one morn ing to find his beautiful daughter misn- ing.The The people wore aroused and the sur rounding hills bcari'hed for the missing girl , but , in vain , and Vclasquiv. was compelled to return to his home u it line solution for the mystery surrounding the disappearance of his child. In a comfortable log hoiiio built for tier , among the rocks and shrubs on Spirit Island , Xarifa was safe from discovery , for in thoio days the shores of Lake Tahoe were visited only by huntersand they came but seldom. Carlos con tinued to perform the duties of his ollli'c at the mission and ho spent iv great deal of his time with Velasfjiio/ , endeavoring to soften the grief that wan tearing his heart. His own fut'o had grown sad and tlio light had gone out of his eyes. His form , once so straight and powerful , was now bent , and his hti'p had lost its elasticity. His inter est in his work at tlio misiion sci mod to grow l'is . and ho would often absent himself for days , and when ho returned and was questioned as toliero IIP had bt'on he would reply : "Among the hills. " And his associates uould look wisely at each other and point omin ously at their foreheads. They thought the sudden taking awav of the beauti ful girl who had been his companion so long had affected his mind. One night n few months after Xarifa had taken up her ahodu on Spirit Island she gave birth to a child , whoso spirit a few hours later lied upward. The sense of her bin and disgrace had wrought ho upon Xarifa's mind that she survived but two days after tlio death of her lube. Her life parsed gently out ward as she lay in the arms of the man whoso love had been her death. Hoi- last request \\as that she should bo buried in the hike , where her mother would never look again upon tlio face of the daughter who had brought dishonor to her household. Secretly , Narvoox.o lowered mother and babe , wrapped in oiio winding sheet , into the bosom of the lake , and locking the door of his heart went back to his duties at the mission. Five years ho kept his secret from the world , and in that time ho had followed Xarifa'u parents to their graves. Ten years ho battled with an accusing conscience and at last was van- o.uishod. The story above is what ho told an associate priest. Narvoii/o was promptly excommuni cated and the mitdlon abandoned to the elements. Keenly Narvoo/.o felt lil disgrace , and ho became a reolusu among the bills , looking to the charity of the farmers about him for bust uunco. Seven years ago ho began building his tomb , for ho wanted to sleep , he said , where ho had buriud his huart.
