Wedding Near Waynetown.
There was a brilliant wedding near Waynetown last night, it being the occasion of the marriage of Guy V. Livengood and Miss Minnie M. Wilkinson. The house was tasteful!}' decorated with flowers and plants, and everything was done that was possible to make the event a commendable one. llev. Porter was the officiating clergyman, and Miss Cora McCormick furnished the instrumental music, and a choir favored the company with songs. The bride and groom will occupy a new cottage that is to be erected upon the farm of the _groom's father, near Ingersoll chapel. Those in attendance from this city were: Jake. Abe, Walter and Miss Kate Livingston, Noah Wilkinson, John Hunter and wife, Mrs. Henry Brown and Miss Sidener. The supper was elegant and consisted of the fat of the land.

Haute—List of the IrfMMS.
Sneclal to The Journal. ROCKVII.I.K, Ind., Aug. 2.—Thismorning at 1:30 fire broke out in the south room of the Harrison block, on the east side of the square, and owing to poor facilities for fighting it, soon gained rapid headway, entirely destroying the Harrison block and the one adjoining on the north, owned by Mrs. George Hodgson. It was only by the hardest work that citizens were enabled to save the remaining buildings on that side of town, and their efforts would have been in vain had it not been for the splendid fire walls forming the south side of Walker's block. At 3 o'clock there was every reason to believe the whole east side of town would be consumed, and Crawfordsville and Terre Haute were telegraphed for aid. Before either city could reach here with assistance, however, the fire was fully under control. The Crawfordsville order was countermanded just as a train was leaving with the hose cart aboard, but Terre Haute was on the road and arrived here at 3 o'clock. The buildings destroyed were erected last fall, and were handsome two-story structures, with fronts of pressed brick. The firewas undoubtedly of incendiary origin, same district was burned in December, 1892, and the progress of the fire checked by the fire wall, previously mentioned. Then, as now, there was no other reasonable theory than that some one had fired the buildings. The loss is heavy and figures as follows:
Loss on Hodgson block, 88,000: insurance, Phisnix, of Hartford, 81,000: National, of Hartford, 82,000: yKtna, S2.000 Home, New York, ?1,000.

There were but two vacant storerooms in Rockville at the time of the fire and these were immediately obtained by Craig and Pefley, who at once moved in and announced themselves ready for business. The others burned out. therefore, not be able to resume business until the blocks are rebuilt.
The fire was the most disastrous in Rockville for many years, and the loss of these fine buildings has resulted in a renewed interest being taken in the subject of water works, for which the town council will shortly contract.
The ready response to tie appeal for aid, by Crawfordsville and Terre Haute was much •appreciated by the citizens of Rockville.
AN AMUSING 1NCIDEXL
Hoiv a Let or Mules Frigliteiied all Army and Forced It Rack in Confusion.
When General Grant arrived at
When the battle began about two hundred mules, frightened by the noise, broke from their tethers anil dashed I into the ranks of Wade Hampton's legion, ami produced a great panic. The Confederates supposed it to be a charge of Hooker's cavalry and fell back in great confusion. The incident was a theme for a mock heroic poem, in imitation of Tennyson's "Charge of the Six Hundred." two verses of which were: "Forward tbe mule brigade
Was there a mule dismayed? Not when their long ears fell All their rores sundered. Theirs not to make reply— Theirs not to reason why— Theirs but to make tliein lly— On! to the Georglu troops
Broke tbe two hundred. Mules to the right of them— Mules to the left of them— Mules all behind them—
Pawed, brayed and thundered Breaking their own confines— llreaklog through Longstreei's linesTesting chivalrlc spines, Into tne Ueorgla troops
Stormed the tvo hundred." After this battle the Tennessee was free for vessels with supplies for the National troops, and the two armies lay confronting each other only about three miles apart. One of the most entertaining productions of the present day is "Frank Leslie's Scenes and Portraits of the Civil War," which is now being issued in weekly parts to the readers of this paper.

Defrauded.
A short story, but very much to the point, is one told of John Allen, an English clergyman. He had heard that a brother minister kept his congregation waiting, and kindly remonstrated with him. "It was only ten minutes," said tho offender, apologetically. "How many people had you in ehurch?" asked Mr. Allen. "About three hundred." "Three hundred? Well, then, you •rested three thousand mimiteal"— Youth's Companion.
EACH RECRUIT GOT A KISS.
How tho DuclitMa of Uordou liaised a Regiment Oue Hundred Years Ago. Near the close of the last century rumors of a French invasion alarmed Great Britain and aroused military ardor to such an extent as to lead to fresh regiments being raised. In one of a series of interesting sketches by Hon. Mrs. Aruiytage, of "Hritish Mansions and the Mistresses Past and Present," recently published in Tinsley's Magazine, the raising by the famous duchess of Gordon of the battalion of Gordon Highlanders, which has since held such a distinguished place in military annals, is thus described: "The duchess of Gordon is said to have had a wager with the prince regent as to which of them would first raise a battalion, and that the fair lady reserved to herself the power of offering a reward even more attractive than the king's shilling. At all events the duchess and Lord Huntley started off on their errand, and between them soon raised tho required number of men. The mother and son frequented every fair in the country-side, begging1 the fine young Highlanders to come forward in support of king and country and to enlist in her regiment, and, when all other arguments failed, rumor said that a kiss from the beautiful duchess won the doubtful recruit. She soon announced to headquarters the formation of a regiment, and entered into all the negotiations with the military authorities in a most businesslike manner, reporting that the whole regiment were Highlanders save thirtyfive. Lord Huntly was given the first command of this corps, then and ever since known as the Ninety-second or Gordon II ighlanders, and wearing the tartan of the clan."
HOT MEAL SURE ENOUGH.
The Repast Laid Out for a Hungry Fish* Init Tourist In California. "Walter Mansfield, the board of trade attorney, is a most enthusiastic sportsman, says the San Francisco Post. When Mansfield goes out on one of his trips he always locates a place where he can get a good meal, and so times liis sport that he will reach it at the dinner hour. A few days ago he went up on the Big Sulphur creek for a day's fishing, and, as he started out at daybreak, he saw a little wayside shanty, in front of which stood a horse trough and a sign: "Hot Meals at All Hours." The trough did double service as a drinking place for tired and dusty horses and a lavatory for the guests of the "hotel." "That's just the place," said Walter to himself. "I'll fish up stream, and then down again, so that I'll reach here at noon."
He carried out his programme, went to the "hotel," where he rubbed soft I soap around his neck and washed it off in the horse trough, and then seated himself at the wooden table. An old
Missourian sat smoking in one corner, and never budged or paid the slightest attention to Mansfield, who was nibbling at a cracker he found on the table. "Well, where is my dinner?" inquired the hungry sportsman. "Thar," and the rancher aimed the stem of his pipe at the table. "Why, your sign says: 'Hot M»als at All Hours." "Thar she is. Crackers an' pepper a
MEASURING SOUND.
The Microscope Rmployctl In This Delicate Operation. It certainly is an odd statement to say that the microscope is better than the ear for measuring some sounds but it is true. In determining the pitch of very high notes Mr. F. Melde has found that the ear cannot be depended on, and he has therefore turned to the microscope for aid.
Sound is a phenomenon of vibration, and the pitch of any musical note can be determined if the sound wave corresponding to it is in any manner rendered measurable.
Mr. Melde has solved the problem in this way: He covers a plate with a thin layer composed of a mixture of olive oil and stearine, the surface of which is slightly ridged by rubbing it delicately with the finger. To a highpitched tuning fork a short hair is attached, and a similar hair is fastened to another vibrating body, such as a rod, whose pitch is known. The ends of these hairs trail across the prepared
Chattanooga, he ordered Hooker, who plate, as it is passed rapidly over them, was then at Bridgeport, to advance to and thus mark upon its surface a Lookout Valley, menace liragg's Uank, I double series of wave lines correand protect th« passage of supplies up the Tennessee to within a short distance from the faminisliing armies. This was promptly done. Hooker's main force took post at Wauliatchie, where he was attacked before daylight on the morning of the 2'.ith of October. After a battle of three hours in the darkness, the Confederates were beaU'ri and driven away. During the struggle an amusing incident occurred.
spending to the periods of vibration of the fork and the rod. The microscope is then called into action in order to compare the length and depth of the waves, and thus determine the musical pitch of the vibrating fork, with an accuracy not attainable by the ear alone.
Dreams and Sound Sleep.
A\ hen a student asked the great Prof. Marne if dreams were "a sign of anything" he replied: "Yes, a sign that the dreamer was only about half asleep, when some vague ideas flitted through his brain." An opinion exactly contrary to the above was once expressed by Dr. Tanner, the faster. When asked if he had not dreamed of feasts during his long fast he replied: "The fact is, I did not dream at all, simply because I had no sound sleep during tho ordeal. I was sorry for that, because I had hoped to make a psycological study of myself. My sleep was so disturbed and broken by those constantly around me that I had no opportunity fordreams." Whose theory respecting the dream condition is correct, Marne's or Tanner's?
Indian Corn Used by Italians. It is the Italians who have learned the value of Indian corn. Long ago they substituted corn meal for chestnut Hour in making polenta, and the result was a cheaper and more wholesome food. The Italians at home make polenta chiefly with yellow corn meal here they often, perhaps usually, use the white meal. The polenta is nourishing, palatable to those who have ljeen brought up to oil and garlic, and digestible enough if the consumer be occupied with physical toil.
What Coukl Do It«
To wound a man's pride has often been found to be the most dangerous thing one can do. The feeling of the greater part of humanity is represented by the reply of a Gascon oflicer to Charles VII., who asked if anything could detach him from the king's service. "No, sire—not even the offer of three kingdoms like j-ours but, yen, sire—one single affront." Youth's Companion.
—Wife—"Come, let us go home. It Is eleven o'clock, and you know you didn't come home till one this morning." Husband—"That's just'it. You surely can't expect me to come home twice in one day?"—Fliegende Platter.
Asleep In the Saddle
Cavalry soldiers often sleep in the saddle after a fatiguing march, and, although it would seem impossible to march on foot and sleep at the same time, there are authentic Instances of the performance of such a feat. Artillerymen in the battle have been- known to sleep under their own guns, which were constantly firing

ODD DRESS REHEARSAL. A Nonagenarian Frenchman Has Hit Own Obsequies Performed,
An up-to-date desciple of Charles V. of Spain, lately held a kind of dress rehearsal of his funeral while yet In the land of the living, says the Frenoh correspondent of the London Telegraph. For the past year gravediggers and masons had been engaged in preparing the gentleman's tomb, and he nad surveyed the work with loving oare.
When everything was ready he had a handsome marble slab put up, with the date of his birth and the list of his titles and distinctions, winding up with the comforting assurance that he "had been a good father and law-abiding oitizen" inscribed thereon.
On his ninety-fifth birthday all his friends and acquaintances were invited to the rehearsal of his funeral. A Bolemn burial servioe took place at the church, and his empty coffin, placed under a catafalque and surrounded with wax candles, received an anticipatory blessing.
To eheer up his guests, whom this lugubrious ceremony must have somewhat depressed, he then bade them repair to his house, where a grand banquet took place, at which the beadle, the choristers and the priests who are to officiate at his real funeral were present.
Each guest pledged his word in a bumber of champagne that if he were still living at the time he would not fail to "assist" at the funeral ceremony of which the rehearsal had just been gone through.
The real event may not come off yet awhile, for this imitator of the famous emperor is still quite hale and hearty, In spite of his nlntey-five summers.
GETTING DOWN TO WEIGHT. A Jockey Who Spends Hours In a Hot Room Without Taking Any Liquids.
On the floor of the hottest room in an up-town Russian bath recently a a small man lay doubled up bemoaning his fate, says the New York Sun. Once in awhile he would squirm over on his back or turn flat on his face and drum a tattoo on the floor with his fingers, while he went on with his inarticulate protestations. He was a mere bag of skin and hones with a few sharply-de-fined musoles in his arms and upper legs. In one hand he had a small, polished wooden stick about the 6hape and size of an ordinary foot rule. This he rubbed over his back, shoulders and legs and wherever there was any flesh covering the bones.
It was what might lie called "tho reverse picture of a jockey's life." Tho man was a famous jock?y, and the contrast between his reception at the grand stand when he comes in on the back of a winning horse, cheered by thousands of race-goers, and his position squirming about on the floor of the hot room trying to reduce his weight another pound or two before the race In the afternoon, was very stong. The natural weigh tof this particular jockey is about one hundred and twenty-six He had been in the hot room two hours without taking a drink of any kind.
Finally he decided that he could not stand it any longer and sent out for some sherry ami ice. This he took with the air of a man who was consumed by thirst and then settled back on the floor again, and remarked that that drink would put a quarter of a pound of weight on him within five minutes.
STRENGTH OF INSECTS.
They Are Stronger According to Their Size Than Man Is. Insects are, for their size, says the New York Weekly, the strongest members of the animal creation, and among them beetles bear the palm. Many beetles have enormous strength. The hercules beetle can support and even lift a weight equal to more than five hundred times the weight of its own body. It is as if a man were able to raise from the ground on his baok a weight of more than one hundred and twenty tons. Perhaps a better idea would be conveyed by saying that to equal this a man would have to lift five hundred other men. The flea is also possessed of marvelous strength and agility. It can leap more than two hundred times its own height, and drag along more than eighty times its own weight. This is as though a man could, from a standing position, leap over the Eiffel tower, or walk along, bearing on his shoulder, as an ordinary burden, tha carcass of an elephant. M. Plateau found that a cockchafer can draw fourteen times its own weight, and that a bee can draw twenty times its own weight. From which he argues that a cockchafer is, weight for weight, twenty times stronger than a horse, and a bee thirty times stronger than one. At the same time, insects which expend much power in rapid flight are not capable of bearing much additional weight to that of their own bodies. Some can cari'y a weight equal to their own, but, as a rule, not one can fly with anything heavier than Itself.
FOR SCOLDING WOMEN.
The Brank" Was Considered an Kfflcacioiu Cure for Virago*. When a gentleman of the sixteenth century fell a victim to a woman's tongue he promptly locked up her jaw —literally—in an iron stall, which inclosed the head of the wearer, into whose mouth a sharp gag was thrust. This gentle instrument of correction, says the London Telegraph, has a short chain attached, suggesting that the virago having been effectually silenced, was chained up by her lord and master.
The "brank" appears to have taken its name from the Dutch word prang-lie, the yoke of a pillory. It was in use in Scotland, as well as in many parts of England.

It is about time for the gravel road superintendents to mow the weeds along the roads. If they were mowed before going to seed they could be killed in two or three years, but the superintendents would each lose several days' work at a big salary.
