There ..was.notaing in the appearance of the couple 'which should single them ont for remark, - beyond that the young man was more than specially carefal in steering his fair comp'tn Jioh1 clear of bibulous citizens or obstreperous Jjjruttics; bnt tor all that a halo of romance 1 perched oTer their leads. - "If "Love laughs at locksmiths" it is equally true that it treats with supreme dis dain the .opposition of parental authority andythe warnings of maternal misgivings. And so it did in the case of two loving hearts which now beat as one ana the ex clusive proprietors of which are well-known residents ol Unioutown, .Pa. 'Charles B. Mahaney wooed andwon the .heart of Miss Elma Hadden, a yonng lady who is highly esteemed in TJniontown social circles, but the aforementioned parental au thority filed a protest against suggestions of '"matrimony, and the young pair.'in conse quence, thought it wise to dissemble. LOCHDTVAK TS A. BTJOGY. JJrssembling is all very well as far as it 'Cpes, and especially in snch a good cause, but'it is liable, at length, to become monot- ThnAni fin Inaet th vrtnnT Y.not l ra fonnd it and he began to lay plans to inter rupt the enforced serenity of the situation. -Tbe course of true love never did rnn ;. -smooth, but on this occasion it made a de "parture, and on Sunday aiternoon, repre- f tented in the persons of the loving pair, it bestowed itself in buggy drawn by a spank ing team, and was soon embarked on board the mail at Cennellsville and traveling over v -jfitlie Baltimore and Ohio to this citv. ""& If the pair had inclination for philo- ffonhic-converse they might have been re minded of the -nps and downs found along the highway of life's journey bv the ieat s nres of the road from the Coke City to this point, bnt even the picturesque Baltimore and Ohio must, on occasions, subserve its attractions to others of a more personal nature. Arrived here a minister quickly 5 made it possible for two hearts to perform the anatomical impossibility of beatine as j one, and soon afterward the register of the -.V Central Hotel bore witness to the fact that -' Charles D. Mahaney and wiih were among -y the guests of that well-known hostelry. ' BACK TO TJJJIONTO'WSr. Jt was the intention of the young couple to.return to their respective domiciles and carry on the dissembling act for another P,t while or two, enabling the parental position alio be approached by sap -and mine and be J ( sieged until obliged to surrender. But, alas! for the well-intentioned plans of the elopers, a reporter for this paper was ac costed by Air. John Laidley. who unfolded - ,the little-romance. Mr. Mahaney was con gratulated bv "The Dispatch man on the success of his matrimonial venture and in formed that it was with much regret that he could .not afford the TJniontown journals the ' pleasure of outstripping this paper on the 'story. The gentleman who is responsible for the story said that about three years ago Mrs. Charles D. Mahinev's family moved down to Alabama, for the purpose of, if possible, breaking the ties of sympathy which existed between the young people, but subsequently returned to TJniontown, owing to the state of Jhl. the. lady's health. It Js said that a sister of MNDfn.ta&ialianey's;' some 3 or- 4 years ago, eloped in a somewhat similar manner. AMERICDB'liEW QUARTERS. .Some Circulars Sent Ont Have Evoked Re- eponses to the Tune of 8CS.000 The .Amount Necessnry Said tp be la bight. The scheme of the Americus Club to issue 4 per cent bonds for the erection of a club house is meeting with success, so far as it has gone. Circulars were sent out two or three days ago asking the members of the Aclub if they favored the plan, and if so, how much money they would be willing to place at' the disposal of the club for that purpose. At 1 o'clock yesterday 25 members had resnonded to the circular and'amonnts ag gregating 58,000 bad been pledged. "When it is considered that the committee wants but $105,000, it is evident that the members deem the scheme a pretty safe investment. The club lias an option on the Hamilton Hotel for 30 days, dating lrom the 18th inst., and there seems to be no doubt that the necessaiy amount will be pledged by the time the option must be covered. Although the idea of building a club house has been talked of for over a year by the members, there has as yet been no definite plan decided upon. It was only at the last meeting of tne club that the Build ing Committee was appointed. This com mittee consists of A. G. Boenigk. H. D. "W. , English and Harry A. Paul. If the Ham ilton Hotel is secured several thousand dol lars will be spent in remodeling and im proving the house to meet the requirements of the club. Some trouble jnav be exper ienced in securing the hotel property, as it was reported yesterday that the deed was held by about a score of heirs. To-day the committee will call on the prominent members of the club who have not yet responded to the circular with a view, if possible, to raise the amount to the required sum at once. There is little doubt that this will be accomplished, as the re i Eponses already in have been extremely liberal. 1 Jcst after Christmas of 1870, 1 was laid up -with an obstinate cough, together with spitting of blood, accompanied with some fever from the joint effects of which I was greatly weakened and became rapidly re duced. Following the best advice I could get, I tried various medicines, but none ap parently done mnch good, leaving me low spirited enough. I made up my mind at last to try Dr. Jayne's Expectorant, and procured some. I used it carefully as di rected, and gradually got rid of my com plaint. "Wm. A. C.

X Daylight Tear of the Merry Monarch of Glft-drlne iBstltBtiom Tlslted and Loads lightened, wllh tbe Same Effect Upon Juvenile Hearts An Annual Cus tom Carried Oat Lavishly. "Christmas comet but. once a year, and when it comes it brings good cheer." This is a true adage. No day- in the year is so votent or so full of pure and immaculate cbeer as Christmas. It.isajtime when the hearts of the young bound with all the buoy ancy of the antler, and the old catch the song of by-gone days and live again in the atmosphere of youth. How happy everybody felt yesterday. .Feast, festivity and jay chased every gloomy feeling away, and the world was transmutea from cold, mathematical ways by the magic touch of hospitality into a better and grander sphere. "Where penury reigned, some unknown but generous spirit stealthily made its way into its haunts, andset it at defiance by leaving some welcome gift CHILDREN OK THE QUI TIVJS. For months the children have been antici pating the advent of Yuletide. It has pro vided them with an inexaustible store of conversation. They have longed for it, be cause they know that papa and mamma will remember them at Christmas by con tributing to their earthly store a little token. But how about the children who have no "papa and mamma." "Is anybody going to remember them? Look in at tbe orphan asylum? Here vou will see the fatherless and the motherless, who will remember them at Christmas lime? Will anybody? Did anybody? Yesl Gusky's, generous to a fault, carried around to the various hos pitals and asylum 2,000 gifts, which were principally distributed among the little folks. Ah, yes, Santa Clans remembered them. Bobed in all his mystic raiment fol lowed by a retinue of servants, who dis pensed the good things which his bounteous hand had provided, he visitedall the benev olent institutions of the two cities. TKANSFOE3IED HT ATPEABAKCB. Yesterday morning at 9 o'clock Market street looked like a fair ground. Twenty three wagons, gaily decorated with bunting and evergreens, and loaded with innumera ble presents, lined the streets. Twenty carriages preceded the wagons, occupied by the donors of the presents, ana in front of all Santa Clans sat in a royal chariot drawn "bv six prancing steeds to the various homes gi charity. The great clothing firm procession at tracted considerable attention all along the route. Children followed Santa Clans, greeting him with hearty plaudits. At 10 o'clock the procession halted at tbe Bidge Avenue Orphan Asylum. Santa Claus en tered this home amid a volley of cheers. He welcomed the little ones with the same gusto that they greeted him. A wagon load of gifts were taken in, and they were given away among the inmates. No boy or girl was leit without a gilt. Gusky's had each present labeled with the name, and age of the recip ient The gifts were appropriately chosen, according to the age at the person. The presents given away were suitable between the ages of 5 weeks and 94 years. ONCE MORE ON THE WaV. After distributing the presents at Bidge avenue, the procession was divided, one-halt taking Allegheny and the other half taking the Pittsburg division, which included the Southside. The Pittsburg division "got a move on" at 11 o'clock. They crossed the Allegheny river by the Seventh street bridge, and then made straight for St Michael's Home on the hill, above South Eighteenth street Cheer after cheer rent tbe air when Santa Claus was sighted by children. From hi chariot to the hall of tbe home Santa had a triumphal march. After the party had all been seated 20 childish voices sang a grateful ode to the children's friend. "Thank you, Santa Claus," said a little voice on receiving a present; "Hay God bless and prosper you." This frank out break of cratitnde from the childish heart- visibly affected the impersonator of the 'niient octa LUNCHEON -AT ST. MICHAEL'S. Luncheon was served to the party by the Board of Managers of St Michael's Home. It was no mean spread, either. Everything was provided which would add pleasure to the occasion. A speech expressive of the gratitude of the institution to Mrs. Gusky was delivered by .Mr. Andrew Stock. The Homeopathic Hospital was the next visited, where 29 gifts were given to the little ones. The next stop was made at the Chil dren's Temporary Home, where 20 childish hearts were gladdened by the same number of gifts. What clapping of hands there was when the presents were handed around. Looking into the face of a little one at this home it was a sight The boy's whole coun tenance was suffused by a radiant smile, his eye sparkled with a clitter more dazzling than a diamond. One look of gratitude from those eyes repaid Gusky's for their trouble and big outlay, because it was the expression of absolute'thankfulness. OTHER PLACES VISITED. Visits were then paid to St Paul's Or phan Asylum. Three hundred and fifty gifts were donated to this institution; 20 were given to the West Penn Hospital, 51 to the Episcopal Home, and 138 to the Lit tle Sisters of the Poor. At this latter place the presents were of a serviceable character. Tne Allegheny contingent went through asimilar procedure to the Pittsburg divi sion. The following benevolent institutions were visited and gifts given : Colored Orphans' Home; 69; Women's Christian Home, 26; Presbyterian Orphan Home, 42; Allegheny Nursery, 22; Allegheny General Hospital, 9; "Protestant Boys' Home, 20; Home for the Friendless, 120, and Little Sisters of the Poor, 73. and the German Protestant Orphan Asylum, 21. HOSPITABLY RECEIVED. The most notable episode in tne Alle gheny distribution of gifts was at the Home of the Good Shepherd, Trov Hill. After the distribution of gifts the Sisters served a royal least to tne donors. At the Little.Sisters of the Poor one old woman, named Mrs. Katie Hawkins, who had received a gift from Gusky's for the past seven years, and was anticipating the day again, did not answer to her hame when Mr. Solomon asked for her. She was beyond earthly sound, having passed to her long home the day previous. This circum stance was the only one to cast a shadow on the day's proceedings.
