The marriage ceremony of Miss Jones
and -Professor Marsland, to occur next
Tursday will attract considerable atten
tion as both parties are prominent young
people. The present week has been sin
gularly devoid of incident, and there is
V"r nothing especially encouraging in the
outlook. In the absence of anything else to occupy attention gos
sip is to tho fore, and these days one can hear almost anything about
one's friends. Some engagements between young people well known
in society that were supposed to be almost on tho point of a happy
culmination are reported to be "off," and the reasons that are assign
ed therefor in some instances are decidedly interesting. On tho
other hand gossip has joined together some people in an unexpected
manner, and the wise ones assert that there will be some surprises
in the fall. Somebody is always making statements of this kind.

Leming for the past two weeks Miss Dyer is editor of the homo
department of the Congregationalist, one of tho leading religous
publications of the country. She is a woman of rare culture and
accomplishments, and the good peoplo of Lincoln who have met her
will greatly regret her early departure fer the East. She spoke at
the Vine street church on Sunday evening in a most entertaining
manner. She is engaged in important missionary work in Boston
aside from her other duties. She expresses herself as being greatly
surprised and pleased with Lincoln. Tho educational advantages
of the city with a circle of colleges were a grent surprise to her and
she expresses the belief that in an educational and cultured way
Lincoln has in prospect a great future. The lino church and college

with her visit that Lincoln will be a favorite theme for her for along
time. Lincoln was equally pleased with her.
