A Comical Wedding.
T USED to marry a good many folks
JL when I wus Justice of tlie peace lu
Blooming Grove," Bald Uncle Ira CIiiIps
man, the other day. "They generally
wanted to get spliced on the Fourth of
July or Christmas. They'd come in
from the woods, the fellow and his girl
b th riding on a load of hoop-poles or tan
bark, and sometimes holding themselves
on to a three-foot log that a yoke of oxen
was snaking In from a bark peeling.
One Fourth of July I took for wedding
fees a coonsklu, two railroad ties, a pint
of applejack, three dozen hoop-poles,
twenty-five cents In pennies, two quarts
of low-hush huckleberries, and a promise
ti vote for me when I was a candidate.
Hut that was an unusually good Fourth
for fees. The couples that I'd hitch,
taking the average run of 'em, would
most likely say :
" Well, now, 'squire, we'em much
obleged. When you come 'longour way,
'squire, drop in an we'll Hop an extry
slapjack."
" Hut I never hankered after slapjacks
with salt pork gravy and molasHes, so
those fees are coming In yet.
" One day I was sitting In my ofllce In
Mose's bar-room thinking what I'd best
do for a funny pain I had in my stom
ach, when in walked a big, strapping
hoop-pole cutter aud bark forager from
'way back 'o the Knob. He had his
daughter with him. The girl's name
was Mug. Mag was about 19, but, stars
alive 1 she was blame near six feet high,
and I'll bet she could lift a barrel of
whiskey over a seven-rail fence. 8he
was pretty good looking for all that.
" ' Busy, 'squire V" asked the old man.
" 'Not particular," I said.
" ' Wall, 'squire, I s'pose you know
that Jerry Elwine's got the best groun'
hog dog there is in the hull Knob ken
try, don't you ?"
" ' I never heard of Jerry Elwlne or his
ground-hog dog," said I, partly on ac
count of the pain in ray stomach and a
plagued Bight madder because Mag had
eot down on a straw hat of mine that I
wouldn't have taken a dollar note for.
" ' What 1 never heered o' that dog,
'squire ?" said Mag. "Never heered o'
ole Tobe V W-a a l, ef that don't take the
grease off'n my griddle 1"
" ' Wall' anyhow, whether ye over
heerd of him or not," the old man put
in, " he's back o' the Knob, an' Jerry
owns him. An' the trouble is 'squire,
Jerry's so cussed 'feered of his dog that
he won't let any one hunt groun' hogs
with him but hisself an' he's talkln' o'
sellin' him over in M'roe county.
" ' If Jerry El wain sells that air dog,
said Mag, " I'll rattle the teeth out'n
him ; I don't care ef we agoin to get
spliced I"
"I began to think that the old man
and his girl had come to get an order of
court on Jerry Elwine to appear aud
show cause why he shouldn't let Tobe
hunt with any person who wanted him,
and why a perpetual injunction
shouldn't be issued forbidding him to
sell the dog over in Monroe county.
" ' The fact o' the matter is, 'squire,"
continued the father, " that dog's too
goldarned vallyable to be wasted. He
kin keep any family that ain't a passel
o' gluttons in goun'-hogs from (Septem
ber to the time they hole up. Borne
folks think groun'-hogs is too rank to set
well, and I heered Joe Atkinson say
once that he'd as leaf eat a taller dip as
the best part of a groun'-hog. But they
ain't nothin' that goes to the spot with
our family as a hunk o' that varmint.
Is they Mag?"
" ' Dad, yer shoutin' I" replied Mag.
" Wall, as I was say in', 'squire, that
dog is too vallyable to be in the onsartin
sitty watlon he is now. That dog is got
to be converted with our fam'ly, an'
we've jest come in to see wheu you kin
come out our way, 'squire an' make the
connection."
" You're going to buy the dog, eh V
and want me to draw up the deed V" I
asked, madder than a hornet at all the
palaver about dogs and groundhogs.
"'N-aaa-wl said Mag, laughing
about like a horse might. " Yer way
off, 'squire. Yer see, Jerry's been a
workiu' for us for a good while, an'
been a tryln' to shine 'round me for
more'n six months, but he ain't much
of a fighter, an' he ain't much of a
shooter, though he ain't no slouch at
rippin' the bark off'n a hemlock, and
mowin' hoop-poles. But when I heard
he was goin' to sell Tobe I weakened.
That dog fastens unto too many groun'.
hogs to live away from our plantations,
I says. So Jerry au' me took to sittin,
up night! an' the consekense is that
Jerry an' me is goin' to jine an' the dog
stays in the family, what we want o'
you is, 'squire, to come out and give us
the hitch the first day you kin, an' the
sooner the better, for tbey's a feller
from Ponco a offerln' for Tobe most
enough to buy a farm, an' Jerry may
take it in his ornary head to sell them.
Come any day, 'Bqulre. We'm all ready.
" That', about the heft of It, 'squire,"
said Mag't father. "Couldn't ye stand
a little Burbin onitV"
"They both put a man's drink of
Bourbon Inside of themselves. I told
'em I,d be out In the course of two or
three (In vs. In the latter part of the
week I took the buck. hoard and drove
out. It was fifteen miles, over the cuss
edest road you ever saw. I was over six
hours on the way, I found the house.
It was a clearing of about three acrfR,
divided up into a turnip patch, a cab
bage patch and a patch of potatoes. A
man was milking a cow in the barn
yard. On a board by the front door lay
the ugliest-looking yaller dog I ever saw.
" That's Tobe, I s'pose," I said to my
self. When I stopped my horse the dog
got up. I tied the horse to the fence
and walked toward the house. Tobe
walked toward me. He had only one
eye. He showed his teeth and growled.
I snapped my fingers and said : " Come
here; that's a nice feller." He gave one
spring, and had me by the pants In less
thannotime. I yelled. Thedoor open
ed and Mag come out.
"Oh, It's you, is it, 'squire ? Git out
Tobe! He's only playln' 'squire. Ain't
he the boss t You orto to see him shake
a groun'-hog. Come In 'squire, come
in. He ketched one to-day, and, by
darn ! we'll git the thiug right over, like
pullin' a tooth. Git out, Tobe, you or
nary cuss !"
" Tobe left and I went In. I had a
notion to put a ball in the dog first
though. Mag's mother was peeling 'taters
in a tin basin. Mag had been washing,
aud her blue hickory dress was as wet
as a dish rag. Her sleeves were rolled
up to her shoulders, and her hair was
sticking over her head lu all directions.
" Mam," she said, 'h'yer's the 'squire.
I'll call John out'n the barn-yard, an'
we'll fix Tobe lu his Hater patch as solid
as a pine knot, in less'n two in in its
Dad ain't here, but odd's the difference."
"'Hold on a Jiffy," said the woman.
"I wauter settle suthin, fust. Ye
know, 'squire, Jerry's got cousider'ble
property."
" ' Has he V" said I. " I dldn.t know
it."
"' La, bless you 1 yes, hoop pole up
'long the creek, an' half a cord o' bark
In the woods. Then he's got two bush
els o' turnips comin' from old Grindy,
an' a share in that coon him an' anoth
er feller ketched last Bunday. Besides,
he's got a new pair o' 14 shillin' cow
skin hoots, aud a pair o' patent Ken
tucky jean overhauls. Ye see, 'squire,
Jerry's well fixed, au, what I want to
know is this : Jerry ain't very whole
Bome. I think he's got Indigestion of
the lungs. Anyway, in case he should
drop oil' suddint without a will, I want
to know kin his durned ornary brother
Lije claim them boots aa'-overhaula, or
will they go with the rest 'o the things
to his sorrowin' wldder '"'
" I Bet the old lady's foars at reBt.
The widow would fall heir to the boots
and overalls, I said. "'Then call in
Jerry," she said, " and we'll bustle this
thing through with bells on."
" ' Mag went to ' the door.
" ' Jere-r-e-e! You Jerry I" she called
at the top of the voice.
"'What-a yer want V" came back
from the barnyard. "Yer alius a yell
in' arter something."
"The 'squire's come, you big lummix.
Come in an' git hitched !"
" Jerry came into the house grum
bling, aud as cross as a bear.
"'Might let a feller git his barn
cleaned out first," he grunted.
" He had on a hickory shirt, and a
pair of overalls. The latter were rolled
up nearly to his knees, and feet were
bare.
" ' Wall, I guess yer barn'il keep till
this h'yer's over," said the woman.
"The couple stood up and took hold
of hands. I was just about to begin the
ceremony, when the old woman threw
both bands over her head and yelled :
" Dod rat yer ugly plcter, Jerry El
wlne! Ef you ain't gone and left the
bars to that turnip patch down, and
there's that pesky yearlln' heifer a
cbawin' up half the winter's billn'l
Git out there and turn her out, or I'll
h'lst ye higher'n Gilroy 'a kite ! "
" Jerry dropped Mag's hand and ran
out to attend to the heifer in the turnip
patch. He come back purling like a
porpoise, and the ceremony was resum
ed and got through without further in
terruption. "'You sell Tobe, now," said Mag.
"You dare to think o' sellin' Tobe now,
Jerry, an' I'll make it warm around
this plantation."
Jerry went out to the barn. Mag
went back to her washing. I had no
more business there, but I thought I'd
hang around for my fee, which I imag
ined would be a tolerably good one. By
and by the old man came home from
the woods.
"Well, dad," said Mag, thejlg is up,
and Tobe is one of the family, sartin."
" The old man called me out into the
road."'
" ' I uuderataud," he said, "that yer
'lowed four shillin' by law for spllcln
people. Now, 'squire, that bit me as
being a le-e-tle steep. Ye know I voted
fur you more'en oncet, an' I think you
orter call this job thrce-aU'-slx. The
recreation o'gittin' hero and back orter
to be worth more'n the extra sixpence,
'squire-"
"I was so iiind that I could have
crammed my hat down the old man's
throat. But I snld I'd take the three
aud six.
" Wall, 'squire," said the bark. peeler,
" I ain't sold no hoop-poles ylt this sea
son but I'll be down 'lection day or
Thanksglven' an' hand you them Ag
gers. Or Bay, 'squire, if you kin use
some groun'-hog"
" That was about all I cared to hear
Just then. I rattled my buck-board
away from there as fast as I could. I
met Tobe about half a mile down this
road, slouching along the edge of the
woods. I heard afterward that they
never saw him again, aud that Mag
charged Jerry with Belling him on the
sly, Bnd went to Mllford to see if that
wasn't ground for a divorce. But they
never charged me with shooting the dog
and throwing it Into the woods, as some
folks have said they did."
Industrial Secrets.
ACENTUIlYago what a man discov
ered in the arts he concealed. Work
menwere put upon an oath never to re
veal the process used by their em ply ers.
Doors were kept closed, artisans going
out were searched, visitors were rigor
ously excluded from admission, and
false operations blinded the workmen
themselves. The mysteries of every
craft were hedged lu by thick-set fences
of empirical pretensions and judicial
affirmation. The royal manufactories
of porcelain, for example, were carried
on In Europe with a spirit of jealous ex
cluslveness. His majesty of Saxony
was especially circumspect. Not con
tent with the oath of secrecy imposed
upon his workpeople, he would not
abate his kingly suspicion iu favor of a
brother monaich. 'Neither king nor
king's delegate might enter the tabooed
walls of Meissen. What Is erroneously
called the Dresden porcelain that ex
quisite pottery of which the world has
never seen its like was produced for
two hundred years by a process so se
cret that neither the bribery of princes
nor the garrulity of the operatives re
vealed it. Other discoveries has been
less successfully guarded, fortunately
for the world. The manufacture of tin
ware in England originated in a stolen
secret' Few readers need be informed
that tinware is simply thin iron plated
with tin by being dipped into the molt
en metal. In theory it is an easy mat
ter to clean the surface of iron, dip it
into a bath of boiling tin, remove it en
veloped with a silvery metal to a place
of cooling. In practice, however, the
process Is one of the most difficult in the
arts. It was discovered in Holland, and
guarded from publicity with the utmost
vigilance for more than half a century.
England tried in vain to discover the
secret, until James Sherman, a Cornish
miner, Insinuated himself master of the
secret, and brought it home. The secret
of manufacturing cast steel was also
stealthily obtained, and Is now within
the reach of all artisans.
A Sea Monster.
Two well-known Fulton Market em
ployes Captain Jack Sullivan and An
drew Flynn, captured a strange monster
of the deep yesterday afternoon, which
the cognieentl of the market pronounced
to be a sunfish. The men at about two
o'clock saw what they took to be a
shark disporting himself in front of
Martin's stores, Brooklyn. They got a
boat, and, baiting a stout steel hook,
pursued the supposed man- eater. They
soon got a bite, but when after a terrific
struggle they managed to land their
prize, they found to their utter astonish,
ment that it was not a shark at all, but a
sea monster such as their eyes had nev
er before gazed upon. As a reporter saw
the uncanny thing last evening, it seem
ed not unlike an enormous eheepshead.
It is oval in outline, weighs, it is said,
about eight hundred pounds, and has a
head bearing a strong resemblance to
that of an elephant, save that the trunk
is absent and the eyes are large and full
It has only two tins, one on the back
and one on the belly, long flapping at
tachments and the tail is unlike that of
any other fish, being thick at the end
and apparently designed either for steer
ing or as an aid to locomotion. Later
in the day the same men captured a fe
male shark, about six feet in length, at
about the same spot. New York Herald.
A Man holds back Twenty-Horse Power.
Truesdale was detailed to shovel grain
from one of the bins to the chute.
Through this bin ran a perpendicular
flange screw elevator, which, being at
tached to the shaft by a belt, was kept
constantly In motion. By some accl
dent the unfortunate man slipped while
near it, and his foot being caught in the
rotatiug flange, was drawn down the
shaft in which it works until the knee
Joint was level with the floor. Know
ing that unless something was speedily
done his whole body would be ground to
pieces iu thii machine, he, with a pre
sence of mind that wa extraordinary,
raised his body uutll It reached the belt
which turned the flange, and by sheer
strength of muscle held the machinery
still, thus putting Lis stiength against
the strength of a twenty-horse power en
gine. In this condition, with bis crush,
ed and mangled limb still In the mar
chine, he held out against the engine un
til he was rescued by-other workmen,
who had come to see what was the mat
ter with the machinery. Truesdale,
who will recover, Is about six feet high,
and weighs 170 pounds. He Is a giant
iri strength. Kanms City Times.
A California Barbecue.
The first preparation for the barbecue
was the slaughter of a dozen sheep,
a dozen porkers and half a pcore of
beeves fatted, all of them, for the occa
sion the selected of countless flocks,
droves and herds, choice, fat and young.
Next the trench was dug ; 115 feet long;
4 feet deep and 4 feet broad. From that
moment all the operations were conduct
ed under the immediate management of
the chief of the barbecue and his assist
ants. At midnight on Saturday a fire
was lighted the entire length of the
trench, and carefully fed until 0 o'clock
the next morning. Scientifically fed
was the fire, for the seven cords of wood
must leave no charred or smoky embers;
nothing but glowing coals, frosted with
clean white burnt ashes. The side3 and
bottom of the trench were heated almost
to a red heat. Then the quartered beef
and the whole sheep and pigs were
placed on to cook. Each piece there
were seven carcases of beef, ten of sheep,
and ten of pork placed on at once was
spitted with rods of Iron, the ends of
which rested on either bank of the
trench. Each piece, too, was seasoned
with a coating of salt aud pepper, and
basted at each turning. The " basting"
was contained lu a kettle over an adjoin
ing fire, and consisted of melted butter,
seasoned with care by the chief. The
chief with a small mop and can of bast
ing, moved from spit to spit, aud with
the confidence of long experience moist
ened the rich smelling sides of the brown,
ing carcasses with the care that an
artist applies the finishing touches to
his exhibition picture. His assistants
turned the spits or with a small broom
sprinkled water on the coals beneath the
pieces which were browning too fast.
This process continued from Oo'clock in
the morning until noon, when the chief
turned over his charge to the carvers.
They demonstrated the result to be per
fectly cooked meats, not a drop of whose
juices had escaped ; tender, rich-flavored,
unsurpassable. S'ot Francisco Ciron.
A Spider Bite Postpones a Wedding.
The Bristol, Conn., Press says : Joseph
Homme, a German baker iu the employ
of Mr. Strunz, was bitten on the cheek
last Saturday morning about 3 o'clock,
while at work in the bakery, as is sup
posed by h black spider. In about a
half hour the cheek began to swell, and
in a few hours was puffed out like a
glass-blower's. He went to a drug store
where some ammonia was applied, but
this seemed to increase the pain, instead
of dimlsblng it. He then went to a
physician, but no remedy seemed im
mediately effective, and he was con.
fined to his bed two or three days.
The swelling extended all over the side
of the face, over upper lip and chin, and
across the throat so that he could breathe
only with difficulty. The remedies fin
ally gained the mastery, and on Tues
day be resumed work. He was to have
been married Saturday, but the cere
mony was postponed till yesterday.
Another Little Romance.
An Ohio man got a divorce and subse
quently married a widow with one child.
After living with her some time, some
remarks which he made about his youth
ful adventures led to the discovery that
his new wife was a young lady to whom
be was once engaged in Maryland and
was on the eve of marrying, when he
became engaged, instead, In a fight with
one of her admirers. He threw his an
tagonist to the ground, aud, as he sup
posed killed him ; so he fled to the West,
The other fellow survived, however,
married the girl, died and left her a
