RESULT OF A “PERSONAL." A Rich Spaniard Carrie* Off a Fair Kentucky Widow. Louisville Courier-Journal. Probably the most romantic marriage that ever occurred in this cit\ took place Tuesday at the residence of Mrs. Louisa Kunnecke, No. 1202 West Walnut street. The contracting parties were W. De Oarmo, a wealthy Spaniard, and Mrs. Lisetta H. Reason, daughter of the lady at whose house the ceremony was performed. The story of the marriage is a remarkable one, and shows the strange courses through which fate sometimes runs. Five years ago Miss Lisetta Kunnecke. a charming young lady of twenty-two summers, became acquainted with Mr. George Beason, manager of the Singer Sewingmachine Company for the State of Kentucky. A mutual attachment was the result of their acquaintance, and after a courtship extending over a period of twelve months, the young couple were united in marriage. Soon after this they moved to Elizabethtown, Kv., where they purchased a handsome borne, and lived in happiness for nearly two years, when the lirst great blow of her life fell upon her. Her husband was suddenly taken ill with typhoid pneumonia, and, in spite of all efforts, died in a week afterward. He had insurance policies on his life amounting to SIO,OOO, which was paid over to his young widow. Soon afterward she moved to this city, and invested her money in real estate. Her life was for a time a very lonely one, and in order to keep her mind occupied she accepted a position with the company of which her husband had been a trusted employe. She applied herself closely to her business and never left the city until the grand musical festival took place at Cincinnati, in 1882. At the earnest invitation of some of her friends she consented to attend it, and they accordingly departed for that city. That night they repaired to the grand nail, and, in company with several friends, she took her seat, nearly in the center of the parquet, and under one of the large chandeliers, which threw its light down on her handsome face and figure. Siie was still dressed in mourning, and the heavy, dark hat which hung closely around her face only served to make the picture more attractive. During the intermission between the acts she partially turned round in her seat, to make a remark to one of her friends, and naturally cast her eyes over the vast row' of faces which surrounded her. Silting just across from her, she noticed a finely-dressed man, of about the medium size, but with a very dark face, betokening his nationality, looking intently at her, with a pair of large black eyes. The intentness of his stare made her look at him more closely than she would otherwise have done, and, after a momentary meeting of the eyes, she turned her head and settled back in her seat. Several times during the performance she felt an irresistible desire to look, and whenever she turned her head, saw' the eyes of the stranger fixed closely upon her. When the curtain fell on the last act and the thousands of people w*ere to depart, she noticed him elbowing his way toward her, but a sudden surge of the crowd in the aisle swept him from view, and she saw him no more. She talked the matter over with her friends after her arrival at the hotel, but thought no more of it. The next morning she chanced to pick up one of the daily paners, and, with a truly womanly instinct, turned to the personal column. To her astonishment she saw’ one which brought up before her the occurrence at the theater the night before. The advertisement had been inserted by the swarthy-looking stranger, and requested her to send her name and address to “W. De G., Elpaso, Tex.” After thinking the matter over she determined to write as requested, just to have a little amusement. She accordingly dropped a note to the address given, and two weeks afterward received a lengthy reply. The correspondence was kept up for several months, the letters growing more and more affectionate, until finally one came to her containing a proposal of marriage. The answer was a favorable one, and last Tuesday was set as the day for the performance of the ceremony. A little over a week ago the unknown bridegroom, so to sq>eak, arrived in the city, and for the first time they met face to face. Neither seemed to have cause to regret the turn affairs had taken, and a little party of friends assembled at the house, on the day named, to see the romance of two lives sealed. They only remained in the city until yesterday afternoon, when they departed for his home in Texas. De Garnio proved to be very wealthy, and while here sold 1,400 acres of fine land to Mr. J. Wash Davis. The story of the courtship was kept quiet by the family, but being too good to keep, leaked out, and" it has been tulked of rather extensively bj’ friends and acquaintances of the lady who played such an important part. What a Visitor Does at Windoor. Loudon Truth. Some ingenious “London correspondents” have connected the recent visit of Lord Harrington to Osborne with “his possible marriage with Princess Beatrice.” Any such report is nonsensical rubbish, absolutely void of the smallest foundation. Lord Harrington went to Osborne in order to have an audience of the Queen, and, as Is usual, was invited to dine and sleep at the palace. Do these “correspondents” suppose that visitors to Windsor or Osborne are thrown into intimate communion with the members of the royal family? A minister, having arrayed himself in full dress, has his midience, and is then left to his own devices rid dinner, when he again meets the Queen, who invariably confines her table conversation to the most commonplace topics. After the meal there is a little general conversation before her Majesty retires, and the •visitor departs next morning without having fyinght another glimpse of her.

INDIANA. Close of Captain Wallace’s Testimony in the Lafayette Slander Suit. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Lafayette, March 15. —The court did not begin on the Gougar-Mandler slander suit until 9:30 this morning, on account of the absence of Captain Wallace, who was detained by a slight fire at his residence. He testified that on the 7th of September. 1881, Wednesday of the fair week, when, as George Schiable swore, he saw a woman go into Wallace’s office, he (Wallace) was there, and his sister came to see him about his boys’ schooling. Referring to other testimony he said Mrs. Gougar never went to his office; that the windows were never pulled down. About St. John’s temperance meeting he said he had little to do with it; was there once or twice on business. He went to Mr. Inpersoll’s to tea with Governor St. John, and then escorted the party to the fair ground. Mr. ami Mrs. Gougar went out ahead of them in a buggy* Soon after entering the grounds he met Mrs. Gougar; they consulted about the rent of the grounds and went to Mrs. Cougar’s buggy to talk; an excited horse caused them to move back; during the whole time they were there they were in view of Mr. Gougar, and talked with him part of the time. In accounting for the time he was seen on a train at Indianapolis, when Mrs. Gougar was aboard, as seen by a witness, he said himself and Tom Underwood came from Indianapolis, and Mrs. Gougar boarded tl# train at Lebanon. About the Wabash trip, he' said he got on a Wabash train at Delphi, and met Mrs. Gougar; he had been to Monticello on business.. On the occasion when he was seen coming on a Wabash train with Mrs. Gougar from Nebraska, as testified to, he had been to Danville, 111., on business; walked out to Tilton and boarded the train; had no knowledge that Mrs. Gougar was on the train. On cross-examination, Captain Wallace was asked if he were on Daniel Walton’s bond, but objection being made the question was held under advisement by the court. Mr. Davidson objected to a question as to whether the witness was ever in Bloomington, 111., because they asked him nothing about Bloomington. The witness said he had frequently walked arm in arm with Miss Johnson, who lives in the same house, at night time, running over a period of ten years; they had been out frequently. He had taken Mrs. Gougar from the parlor club, but never lip the hill, on any evening, arm in arm. The anonymous letter he gave to Mrs. Gougar after he had shown it to others. He was at Dr. Ingersoll’s aboat fifteen minutes; did not show Dr. InpersoH the letter. The witness did not know who wrote the anonymous .letter; never heard of it till he got it. .Mrs. Sarah W. Simler, who lives near Edna Jackson’s, was sworn. She saw Mrs. Gougar there on Sunday night, Nov. 19, between 8:30 and 9 o’clock; saw her through a window, twelve feet distant On cross-ex-amination, she said Mrs. Gougar had spoken to her last Sunday about her testifying. This was the only person she had spoken to about what she saw; never spoke to any one else. On further questioning, she said that she had spoken to Miss Edma Jackson about seeing Mrs. Gougar, and then she remembered about telling her cousin, wiiose name she did not like to tell, but, on being pressed, said it was Mrs. Anna Harris. Mrs. Gougar, the plaintiff, w’as recalled and asked about the date of her return from Nebraska. She replied that she could not fix the date exactly; Our Herald may have had it; you can look. The witness added: “I have had no secrets in my life that I wish to keep from you. You have had twenty years of it to examine, and you can take the whole forty if you desire.” Mr. Cotfroth said: “The past twenty will do; there is no need of the rest.” The witness was instructed to look up the dates.

The following letter from General Browne is in response to a telegram urging him to vote for the bill reducing the tariff: “Colonel E. 11. W'olfe, A. G. Mauzjr, Esq., and others, Rusbvillo, lnd.. “As you know from the telegraphic reports, we passed the internal revenue and tariff reduction bill on yesterday at ternoou. It ib now the law. I supported It not only because of your interest in its success, but for the reason, also, that my judgment approved it. In its details there are objectionable features, but as a whole it is a very deoided Improvement on the old law. My chief objecUous to it is the large reductions of the tobacco tax, but it was impossible to change this feature of the bill. The measure will take $11,000,000 off of sugar. I would have reduced this tax more, aud tried to do so, but was beaten by the vote of the House. I am now more certain that. I was right, in resisting the bill that proposed to reduce internal revenue taxation only, for had that prevailed our legislation would have stopped there, and the tariff would not have been touched. I hope my constituents will indorse my actions. Very truly yours, Thomas M. Browne.” A Bold Robbery, Bpeoial to the Indianapolis Journal. Franklin, March 15.—Jacob Scheible was arrested here to-day, charged by the officials of Greenwood with the larceny of a watch, This morftlng at about 11 o’clock, Scheible making an excuse gained admission to the residence of John Howard, near the above place; after entering he seized Mrs. Howard and tied her with straps he had concealed about his person.

Special to (.'liinago Tribune. Tokay, Colonel Green’s beautiful home, lies in a great bend of the Cape Fear river, three miles from Fayetteville. The house, of wood, covers much ground and is encircled with broad verandas. It lies in the j midst of a vineyard of the famous “scuppernong” and other grapes, this vineyard being

the most notable in all the South. Fayetteville iu one of the oldest towns in the State, and as “Cross Creek” was settled by tiie Scotch Highlanders, who came over with Flora MacDonald in 1745. The home of Flora MacDonald was but two miles from the present mansion of Colonel Green, and there yet remains, it is said, the stone lintel of the door of her house. The section is historic ground aud loved of Scotchmen the world over. Relics of ’45 are abundant, every other family being of Highland descent. In years cone by Fayetteville was the most important place in the State, and was for some years the capital. By it runs the Cape Fear river, whose outlet is near Wilmington. The section was until 1860 the center of the turpentine industry, and half-burned and decayed forests of pine reach mile on mile over a flat country, without a landmark, save at Fayetteville, where there are bold bluffs. On one of these stood the largest United States arsenal in the South, which was captured in 1861, and destroyed by General Sherman in 18G5, when Fayetteville was well-nigh destroyed. The river runs between deep banks. From Colonel Green’s house the view is well nigh illimitable, the vast forest of pine stretching, with slight interruptions, almost to the coast. Fayetteville, now so greatly decayed, is reached by a small branch railroad which leaves the Raleigh & Augusta railroad at a point sixty miles south of Raleigh. and it is hence an out-of-the-way place. Special trains both ways became, therefore, a necessity for the bridal party. Death of a Prominent and Wealthy Farmer.

A correspondent of the Boston Herald recently visited the great wine-vaults in London. and tells of the old wine-grader’s skill at tasting wine. He blindfolds himself and there is poured into a glass four different kinds of sherry. He takes a mouthful on his tongue and at once declares a mixture of four cheap bar-room sherries, two of which have been sweetened with brown sugar and called by the abominable title of brown sherry. He is right, and his next experiment is with Sart, wh ch he correctly tests on each trial. ut, when a bottle of Cook’s imperial champagne from St. Louis is opened, he hesitates and declares it is anew one for him, but it is a good wine, with more brandy in it than it ought to have, and be thinks it is from some northern grown grape. He was entirely nonClussedover some apple whisky; but, when ottle after bottle of champagne of the standard brands was opened, he named every one with great accuracy, giving the year in each case, Pomery ’74. G. H. Mumm’s ’77, Veuve Cliquot ’BO, Heidsieck ’7B, King, and so. on through the list without an error. In each case he simply brought a taste to his lips and spat it out again almost directly, and then inbaleda breath from some ammonia-flavored water. lam told that lie has an income of nearly £3,000 a year from this branch of business alone, but that he is so inordinately vain of his faculty that he will neglect everything to show it off. and even buy the wine himself to do it with, if he can secure a crowd of admirers.

How to Get Off a^Street-Car. Boston Journal. Jumping on or off horse-cars when in motion is always dangerous, and a company is not liable for any damage you may sustain. If you will take or leave a car when in motion, there is a simple rule which reduces the risk to the minimum. If you take hold of the guard on the car with your right hand, raise the right foot; if you take hold with your left hand, raise the left foot. If you are over forty, don’t try either plan. Make the car stop; it is wrong not to do it. Fifty Cent* on the Dollar. Nashville.

I suffered from enormous pains, had to bear great torment* when taking nourishment, had sleepless night-, but none of the medicine was of the least use tu me. Now, in consequence of taking Hop Bitters, these pains and inconveniences have entirely left ine, I have a good uight’s rest, and am suill ciently strengthened for work, while I always had to lay down during the day, and tills almost everv Hour. I shall think it mv duty to recommend tiie Bitters to all who suffer, for I am sure I cannot thank the Lord enough that I came across your preparation, aud l hope lie will maintain you a long time to come for the welfare of suffering mankind.
