COLORED SOCIETY ABLAZE Tue Most Norasie Event THuat Has Evey TAKEN PLACE IN THE Sourua—Yue Marriage oF Ropert H. Turret to Miss CouncH—ComMeENTS OF THE SOUTHERN Press. The marrage of Mr. Robert H, Terrell, of this city to Miss Mary Eliza Church of Memphis, Tenn., took place Wednesday evening, October 28, at the residence of the.| brides father in the presence of | some of the most distinguished | people in the South. The “Evening Scimitor” made the following report : “The most notable event in col- ored society in the South for years was the marriage last evening at oO woven ut MISS apary Hira Church, daughter of Mr. R. R. Church, to Robert H. Terrell, of Washington, D.C. | The ceremony was performed in | the parlors of Mr. Church’a resi-! dence, 332 Lauderdale street, Rev.

The bride wore a costume of white French faille and orange blossoms and a} costly lace bridal veil. ‘Lhere were no bridesmaids, but Nanette, the 4-year-old sister of the bride, handed the wedding ring to the priest at the proper moment on a silver dish. | The house was brilliantly illumi nated from top to bottom, the par- | lors were handsomely decorated | and were filled with the elite of colored society. Many came from a distance to witness the nuptials, | among them Hon. B.K. Bruce, Hon. Harrison Terrell, father of the groom, of Washington; Hon. | T.S. Cassels, Prof. B. 0. Simpson, | Attorney J.T.

The Bullion Deposits of Europe—Eng- land Stands the Lowest on the List. The Bank of England, which is the great depositor of bullion in the realm, holds st ordinary times in its vaults $125,000,000, ihe Bank of Germany holds $200,000,- 000 of bullion in gold and silver. The Bank of France usually holds $475,000,000. The United States holds in the Treas- ury and in the various national banks somewhere about $700,000,000 in gold and silver. The increasing wealth of the various nations is somewhat remarkable. Dur- ing the last 10 years the Bank of France has more than doubled its reserves. The Bank of Germany in 1881 held about $140,000,000, in 1889 it held 180,000,000. In June, 1876, the amount of gold coin and bullion in the United States Treas- ury was only $75,000,000, in 1889 it had risen over $300,000,000. In the various national banks it stood at $3,000,000; it has risen to $80,000,000. In silver there is a still more remarkable increase, It will be observed that among the above England stands the lowest on the list. This can be accounted for in two ways. There being no issue of notes un- der the value of $25, it necessitates an immense quantity of geld being kept in circulation. Secondly, the commerce of ritain with other countries being 50 enormous, and its lending powers so great, a perpetual drain is the inevitable result. Russia, Italy, and Spain have little or no financial influence. They are constant borrowers from more wealthy nations, but lenders, never. Bonaparte’s Personal Ascendancy. Taine, in his “Modern Regime,” as- cribes the peculiaritles of the French of to-day largely to the first Napoleon. He laughed at and stimulated their passion for equality. He took advantage of their little regard for liberty, as understood by Foglish speaking peoples, and lessened it. He encouraged them in all their natural favor for centralization in government. Their craving for military glory, the theatrical airs of the nation, and its pub- lic and literary men, the readiness with which the popular imagination responds to fantastic proposals for establishing French power in the Orient, are all Na- poleonic., The personal ascendancy of Bonaparte Rey dvteaee aitd ‘trom ‘Which’ France in- herits its present way of thinking is shown by numerous anecdotes. When Napoleon, at 26 years of age, was appointed as commander in chief of the army in Italy, Admiral Decres, who had known him well in Paris, learned” that he was to pass through Toulon. Decres wrote long afterward : “I at once proposed to my comrades to introduce them, venturing to do so on the ground of my previous acquaintance with him. Full of eagerness and joy we started off. The door opened and I was about to step forward, when the attitude, the look, and the tone of voice sufficed to arrest me. And yet there was noth- ing offensive about him. Still this was enough. I never tried after that to over- step the line thus imposed on me.” A few days later, at Albergo, certain generals of division, and among them Augereau, a vulgar, heroic old soldier, vain of his tall figure and his courage, arrived at headquarters not well disposed toward the little parvenu sent to them from Paris. Recalling the description which had been given to them, Augereau was abus- ive and insubordinate beforehand, say- ing: “One of Barras’s favorites. The Vende- miare guard! Looks like a bear, because he always thinks for himself! He is said to be a mathematician and a dreamer. An insignificant figure!” They enter and Napoleon keeps them waiting. At last he appears with his sword and belt on, explains the dispo- sition of the forces, gives them their orders, and dismisses them. Augereau is thunderstruck. Only when he gets out of doors does he recover himself and fall back on his accustomed oaths. He agrees with Massena: “That little fiend of a general fright- ened him!” He can not comprehend the ascendancy which overawes him at the first glance. The fact that stern and proud men freely confessed that they could not understand the terrible personal magnet- ism of Bonaparte is not the least remark- able testimony to his force. They seem to have accepted him asso immeasurably superior to other mortals that there could be no shame in their mental prostration before him. A Colored Sam Jones. “Uncle” Jason is a negro preacher who, in his way, is as original as Sam Jones, He recently preached a sermon in which he said that during a trance he was taken to heaven, and while there he saw the Methodists, the Presbyterians, and the Episcopalians “way off to one side.” “And whar wur de Baptis’?” asked a brother in the congregation. “Dey was rite at de throne,” said Uncle Jason. “How dey cum dar?” “Well, de Lawd say de Baptis’ am sucb onreliable raskals, he has to keep ‘em wha’ he kin git hands on ’em!”—Atlanta Constitution. 5 cents per copy. NO 24 ‘A FEARFUL FEAR. The Haunting Apprehension That Made the Tramp’s Life a Terror. He had stuck his head through the alley gate of a house on St. Antoine street and peeped cautiously around. Then he came in and met the man of the house, rising up from behind a goose- berry bush. “Ah, I beg your pardon,” he said meekly. “I didn’t know you were here.” “I guess not,” responded the man with some sarcasm evident in his articulation. “What do you want?” “Work, sir,” answered the visitor very humbly, but with confidence. “Shoveling snow, I suppose, or sawing ice, or mending skates, or repairing sled runners, or firing a furnace, or some- thing of that sort?” was the sarcastic half query. “Your sarcasm is uncalled for, sir,” remarked the visitor sadly. “I am hon- est in my search, sir, but I am haunted by a strange fear that follows me every- where I go, sir,” and the visitor looked over his shoulder furtively and shivered. “Got ‘em again, perhaps,” suggested the man, with an ironical smile. “No; I haven't tasted whisky for many along day, sir,” and there was a con- scious pride in the voice. “Nor stale beer?” queried the cruel in- quisitor of the gooseberry bush. But the Stranger heeded it not. “As I said,” he went on, “I have been haunted by a strange fear in this search of mine for work, and for years I have not been able to rid myself of it. Where Thave gone it has gone; where I have stopped it has stopped; sleeping, I may forget it, but waking, it is ever present with me;” and as he talked tremulously and with the same furtive glances over his shoulder the man behind the bush became so interested that he handed his vagrant visitor a quarter. “That may be of some assistance to you,” he said kindly; “and I'd like to ask if you can explain what this peculiar fear is you speak of ?” The visitor was standing with the latch of the gate in his hand, leaning on it. “Thank you for the money,” he mur- mured gratefully, pressing it to his lips. “I have always kept my secret, but now } shall divulge it for the first time, because you, Iam sure, can sympathize with me, This fear that hounds me, sir, in my search for work, is the fear that I some day shall find it.” _The alley gate went slam with the until the man on the inside started around the front way, and when he got to the outside the gate swung idly on its hinges and there was a lonesome, hollow sound up and down the alley as the man’s quick, decisive steps rattled over the cobble- stones.—Frée Press. WADING TO EUROPE. A Regular Chain of Shallows Runs from Greeniand to Scotland. At a recent meeting of the Academy of Sciences, Paris, M. Emile Blanchard read @ paper on the existence of a terrestrial connection between Europe and America during the present geological age of the earth. M, Blanchard began by pointing out that a line from the north of Scotland through Orkney, the Faroe islands, Ice- land, Greenland, and Labrador, by way of Davis's Straits, passes from one island to another across comparatively shaliow seas. Another evidence of land connec- tion exists in the prevalence of European species of animals and plants in the east- ern part of America, especially in Green- land, where the flora of the west coast is American and that of the east coast is European.—Scierce. Onions for Diphtheria. “Why don’t they use onions! For goodness sake why don’t they use onions! Where do they live? I will go up there to-day and tell them to use onions!” Such were the exclamations of our mother, says the editor of the Danvers Mirror, when we reported one day at dinner that a child of G. W. Dudley was dead, and the whole family, including himself, alarmingly sick with diphtheria. Mother was moved to these earnest and interested expressions by a firm belief that she knows of several lives saved by the use of onions in diphtheria, one be- ing our sister. In these cases raw onions were placed in a bandage and beaten into a pulp, the cloths, containing onions, juice and all, being then bound about the throat and well up over the ears. Re- newals may be made as often as the mass becomes dry. In the cases noticed the result was almost magical; deadly pain yielding in a short time to sleepy com- fort. The editor adds the wish that this remedy might have a wide enough trial to fully test its usefulness.—Scientific American. Bastl’s Forge Discovered. From reports it would appear that the site of Basil’s forge at Grand Pre is no lounger a mystery. Mr. W.C. Archi- bald, while cutting away a sandy knoll about two miles west of the village of Wolfville, came upon what is supposed to be the remains of the ancient black- smith’s shop, under about four feet of soil. Foundation stones, charcoal, ano slag were discovered in large quantities, so unless the Acadian Grand Pre could boast of more than one smithy this is in all likelihood the spot where Basil lived and worked. It looks as though Wolf- ville was the heart of the ancient village of Grand Pre,—Nova Scotia Weekly Bulletin. A \ ie
