It was vather a difficult matter to accomplish, but at last the means of eircumventing the old folks was found. On Tuesday last a tug was chartered, and, in order to obviate all obisicles, the couple went to sea, wh they were married by a properly constituted par- son. On the return the party landed at Washington street wharf, and from there went to Shaw’s boarding house, at No. 41 Vallejo street.

Batchelor dragged the lagging groom to the nearest clothing store, got him into a new suit, then to the barber shop, and finally put him on a car and shipped him off to the house of the bride. Then he went back to the shop to work, supposing that was the last of Edison for that night.
