TALMAGE'S SERMON.

AN INCIDENT IN THE LIFE OP OUR SAVIOR. The rath of Letut Resistance I the Beat One In AT tilth to Perform -Good Work I tough Place in Life's Journey. (Copyright, 1500. by Louis Klopsen.) Text. Mark S9. "And He arose and rebuked the wind and said unto the flea. Peace, bo still." Here in Capernaum, the seashore Tillage, was the temporary home of that Christ who for the most of his life was homeless. On the site of this village, now in ruin5, and all around this lake, what scenes of kindness and power and glory and pathos when our Lord lived here! I can understand the feeling of the immortal Scotchman, Robert McCheyne, when, Bitting on the banks of this lake, he wrote: "It is not that the wild gazelle Comes down to drink thy tide. But he that was pierced to save from hell Oft wandered by thy side. "Graceful around thee the mountains meet. Thou calm, reposing sea. But. ah, far more the beautiful feet Of Jesus walked o'er thee." I can easily understand from the contour of the country that bounds thl3 lake that storms were easily tempted to make these waters their playground. This lake, in Christ's time, lay in a scene of great luxuriance; the surrounding hills, terraces, sloped, groved; so many hanging gardens of beauty. On the shore were castle, armed towers, Roman baths, everything attractive and beautiful all styles of vegetation In smaller apace than In almost any other epace in the world, from the pain tree of the forest to the trees of rigorous climate-. It seemd as if the Lord had launched one wave of beauty on all the scene and It hung and swung from rock and hill and oleander. Roman gentlemen in pleasure boats sailing this lake and countryman in fishing smacks coming down to drop their nets pass each other with nod and shout and laughter or swinging idly at their moorings. Oh. what a beautlJul scene! It seems as if we shall have a quiet night. Not a leaf quivered in the air. not a ripple disturbed the face of Cennesaret. But there seems to be a. little excitement up the beach, and we hasten to see what it is. and we find it an embarkation. From the western shore a flotilla pushing out: not a squadron of deadly armament, nor clipper with valuable merchandise, nor piratic vessels ready to destroy everything they could seize, but a flotilla, bearing messengers of light and life and peace. Christ is in the stern of the boat. His disciples are in the bow and amidships. Jesus, weary with much speaking to large multitudes, is put into somnolence by the rocking of the waves. If there was any motion at all, the ship was easily righted; if the wind passed from starboard to larboard, or from larboard to starboard, the boat would rock and, by the gentleness of the motion, putting the Master asleep. And they extemporized a pillow made out of a fisherman's coat. I think no sooner is Christ prostrate and his head touched the pillow than he is sound asleep. The breezes of the lake run their fingers through the locks of the worn sleeper, and the boat rises and falls like a sleeping child on the bosom of a sleeping mother. Coming of the Storm. Calm night, starry night, beautiful night! Run up all the sails, ply all the cars, and let the large boat and the Email boat glide over gentle Gennesaret. But the sailors say there is going to be a change of weather. And even the passengers can hear the moaning of the storm as it comes on with great stride and all the terrors of hurricane and darkness. The large boat trembles like a deer at bay among tlie clangor of the hounds; great patches of foam are flung into the air; the eails of the vessel loosen aud in the strong wind crack like pistols; the smaller boats, like petrels, poise on the cliffs of the waves and then plunge. Overboard go cargo, tackling and masts, and the drenched disciple3 rush into the back part of the boat and lay hold of Christ and say unto him, "Master, carest thou not that we perish?" That great personage lifts his head from the pillow of the fisherman's coat, walks to the front of the vessel and looks out into the storm. All around him are the smaller boats.driven In the tempest, and through it comes the cry of drowning men. By the flash of the lightning I see the calm brow of Christ as the spray dropped from his beard. He has one word for the sky and another for the waves. Looking upward, he cries, "Peace!" Looking downward, he ?ays,"Be etill!" The waves fall flat on their faces, the foam melts, the extinguished stars relight their torches. The tempest falls dead, and Christ stands with his foot on the neck of the storm. And while the sailors are baling out Tie boats and while they are trying to untangle the cordage the disciples stand in amazrmcnt, now looking into the calm sea, then into the calm sky, then into the calm Savior's countenance, and they cry out, "What manner of man is thi3, that even the winds and the sea obey him?" The subject. In the first place, impresses me with the fact that it is very important to have Christ in the ship; for all these boat3 would have gone to the bottom of Gennesaret if Christ had not been present. Oh. what a lessen for you and for me to learn! Whatever voyage we undertake. Into whatever enterprise we start, let U3 have Christ In the ship. All you can do with utmost tension of body, mind and soul you are bound to do; but, oh. have Christ in every enterprise! Seeking God's Help. There are men who ask God's help at the beginning of great enterprises. He has been with them In the past; no trouble can overthrow them; the storms might come down from the top of Mount Hermon and lash Geanesaret Into foam and Into agony, but

it could not hurt them. But here is another man who starts out in worldly enterprise, and he depends upon the uncertainties of thl3 life. He has no God to help him. After awhile the storm comes, tosses off the masts of the ship; he puts out his life-boat and the long boat; the sheriff and the auctioneer try to help him off; they can't help him off; he must go down; no Christ in the ship. Your life will be made up of sunshine and shadows. There may be in it arctic blasts or tropical tornadoes; I know not what is before you, but I know if you have Christ with you all shall be well. You may seem to get along without the religion of Christ while everything goes smoothly, but after awhile, when sorrow hovers over the soul, when the waves of trial dash clear over the hurricane deck and the decks are crowded with piratical disasters oh, what would you do then without Christ in the ship? Take God for your portion, God for your guide, God for your help; then all Is well; all is well for a time; all shall be well forever. Blessed is that man who puts In the Lord his trust. He shall never be confounded. But my subject also Impresses me with the fact that when people start to follow Christ they must not expect smooth sailing. These disciples got Into the small boats, and I have no doubt they said: "What a beautiful day this is! How delightful is sailing In this boat! And as for the waves under the keel of the boat, why. they only make the motion of our little boat the more delightful." But when the winds swept down and the sea was tossed into wrath, when they found that following Christ was not smooth sailing. So you have found it: so I have found it. Did you ever notice the end of the life of the apostles of Jesus Christ? You would say if ever men ought to have had a smooth life, a smooth departure, then these men, the disciples of Jesus Christ, ought to have had such a departure and such a life. St. James lost his head. St. Philip was hung to death on a pillar. St. Matthew had his life dashed out with a halbert. St. Mark was dragged to death through the streets. St. James the Less was beaten to death with a fuller's club. St. Thomas was struck through with a spear. They did not find following Christ smooth sailing. Oh, how they were all tossed in the tempest! John Huss in a fire; Hugh McKail in the hour of martyrdom; the Albigenses, the Waildenses, the Scotch Covenanters did they find it smooth sailing? But why go Into history when we can draw from our own memory illustrations of the truth of what I say? Not Always Smooth Sailing. A young man in a store trying to servo God. while his employer scoffs at Christianity! the young men in the same store, antagonistic to the Christian religion, teasing him, tormenting him about his religion, trying to get him mad. They succeed in getting hiin mad and say. "You're a pretty Christian!" Does that young man find it smooth sailing when he tries to follow Christ? Or you remember a Christian girl. Her father despises the Christian religion; her mother despises the Christian religion; her brothers and sisters scoff at the Christian religion; she can hardly find a quiet place in which to say her prayers. Did she find it smooth sailing when she tried to follow Jesus Christ? Oh. no! All who would live the life of the Christian religion must suffer persecution. If you do not find it in one way, you will get it in another way. But be not disheartened! Take courage! You are in a glorious companionship. God will see you through all trials, and he will deliver you. My subject also impresses me with the fact that good people sometimes get frightened. In the tones of these disciples as they rushed into the back part of the boat I find they are frightened almost to death. They say, "Master, carest thou not that we perish?" They had no reason to be frightened, for Christ was in the boat. I suppose if we had been there we would have been just as much affrighted. Perhaps more. In all ages very good people get very much affrighted. It is often so in our day, and men say: "Why, look at the bad lectures. Look at the various errors going over the church of God. We are going to founder. The church is going to perish. She is going down." Oh, how many good people are affrighted by iniquity in our day and think the church of Jesus Christ Is going to be overthrown and are just as much affrighted as were the disciples of my text! Don't worry, don't fret, as though Iniquity were going to triumph over righteousness. A lion goe3 into a cavern to sleep. He lies down with his shaggy mane covering his paw3. Meanwhile the spiders spin a web across the mouth of the cavern and say, "We have captured him." Gossamer thread after gossamer thread until the whole front of the cavern is covered with the spider's web, and the spiders say, "The lion is done; the lion is fast." After awhile the lion has got through sleeping. He rouses himself, he shakes his mane, he wallo out into the sunlight. He doe3 not even know the spider's web is spun, and with his roar he shakes the mountain. So men come spinning their sophistries and skepticism about Jesus Christ. He seems to be sleeping. They say: "We have captured the Lord. He will never come forth again upon the nation. Christ is overcome forever. His religion will never make any conquest among men." But after awhile the Lion of the tribe of Judah will rouse himself and come forth to shake mightily the nations. What's a spider's web to the aroused lion? Give truth and error a fair grapple, and truth will come off victor. Frightened by Itevlval. But there are a great many good people who get affrighted In other respects. They are affrighted about revivals. They say, "Oh, this is a strong religious gale! We are afraid the church of God is going to be upset and there are going to be a great many people brought into the church that are going to be of no use to it." And they are affrighted whenever they see a revival taking hold of the churche. As though a ship captain, with 5.000 busheh of wheat for a cargo, should say some day, coming upon, deck, "Throw overboard all the cargo!" and

the sailors should say: "Why, captain, what do ycu mean? Throw over all the cargo?" "Oh," says the captain, "we have a peck of chaff that has got Into this 5,000 bushels of wheat, and the only way to get rid of the chaff is to throw all the wheat overboard!" Now, that is a great deal wiser than the talk of many Christians who want to throw overboard all the thousands and tens of thousands of souls who are the subjects of revivals. Throw all overboard because they are brought into the kingdom of God through great revivals, because there is a peck of chaff, a quart of chaff, a pint of chaff! I say, let them stay until the last day. The Lord will divide the chaff from the wheat. There is one storm into which we will all have to run. The moment when we let go of this world and try to take hold of the next, we will want all the grace possible. Yonder I see a Christian soul rocking on the surges of death. All the powers of darkness seem let out against that soul the swirling wave, the thunder of the sky, the shriek of the wind, all seem to unite together. But that soul is not troubled. There Is no sighlng.there are no tears; plenty of tears In the room at the departure, but he weeps no tears calm, satisfied and peaceful; all Is well. By the flash of the storm you see the harbor just ahead, and you are making for that harbor. All shall be well, Jesus being our pilot. "Into the harbor of heaven now we glide; We're home at last, home at last. Softly we drift on the bright, silv'ry tide; We're home at last. Glory to God, all our dangers are o'er; We stand secure on the glorified shore! Glory to God. we will shout evermore. We're home at last."

TIED OWN NUPTIAL KNOT. Pennsylvania .Justice Acted as Celebrant at His Own Wedding. Ira Carle of Kingston. Pa., is an oldtime justice of the peace who takes a somewhat liberal view of his own magisterial powers. He Is somewhat advanced in years and some eleven years ago, when three score and fourteen and a widower, felt the need of some tender spirit to share his troubles and add to the enjoyments of his existence. Casting about him, his eyes fell upon a comely widow of Cf, whom he wooed with all the ardor of a swain of one-fourth his years. He was not long in winning her consent to a marriage, but. being of an economical turn, he hesitated about paying the fee that would be exacted by a clergyman or a brother magistrate. He consulted his law library, consisting of the revised statutes of the Keystone state, and could not find therein any interdiction of a lawfully qualified justice of the peace performing the wedding ceremony. His bride-elect was equally oblivious of the proprieties and accordingly it was done. Now comes Mrs. Carle into court and asks for a legal separation from the squire on the ground of cruel treatment. Called upon to testify, the aggrieved woman said ip marriage ceremony was performed by 'Squire Carle himself, and that there were no witnesses present. She said the 'squire told her such a marriage was all right under the laws of Pennsylvania and that there was no other ceremony. Some old letters were shown to show that she had written to him as his wife even before the strange ceremony of of 1893. One was written in 1S91' to the 'squire in which she signed herself his beloved wife. In describing the marriage ceremony the woman said he read from a Bible, asked her if she would be his wife, and she consented, believing the ceremony valid. Now, the 'squire declares that the ceremony was a farce, but the court was of the opinion that it would be good law. He refused to pass definitely upon the matter, howevor, and the case will be taken to a higher court. Chicago Chronicle. A Modern Tmul;it ion. A young French woman here in town is teaching the rudiments of her native language to a class of women far past the school age. They have advanced so far that now they are reading the New Testament in French. They haven't read much of it, and at the last lesson it was Mrs, Blank's turn to read that beautiful verse which in the English version begins "In my Father's house are many mansions." Mrs. Blank read it over in her best accent. It ends, in the French, I believe with the word "demeures." "Will you kindly translate it, please?" said the teacher. "Oh, certainly," answered Mrs. Blank. "I I don't quite remember how it goes in the English Testament, but I'll just put it into the best English I can." And then the astonished class gasped, while Mra. Blank read off, as glibly as you please: "In my Father's mansion are many flats." Washington Post. Iluskin'H FcarlcM Criticism. John Iluskin was a fearless critic, and made many enemies by his radical views, says the Indianapolis News. He never considered the man or the friend in his criticisms. It was the work itself that concerned him. He once criticised, in his fearless way, the work of a well-known painter, who was much grieved at the effect. On hearing of the sorrow he had caused he wrote to the artist that lie regretted he could not speak more favorably of the picture, but hoped it would make no difference in their friendship. It U said the artist wrote in reply: "Dear Iluskin: Next time I meet you I shall knock you down, but I hope it will make no difference in our friendship." Model of the Maine. Itear-Adnnral John W. Philip, commandant of the Brooklyn navy yard, has consented to take charge of the fund to be raised anion.? the Bailors and marines of the United States navy for the purpose of having a silver model made of the United States battleship Maine. Th's model is to bo presented to Miss Helen Gould. The model of the Maine will cost about ?2,000. Considerable money has already been raised. The plan Is to collect 10 cents from every sailor and marine in the navy. As there are about 25,000 enlisted men, the amount U practically assured.

The bravest battle mat ever was fought; Shall I tell you where and when? On the maps of the world you will find it not; Twas fought by the mothers of men. k - M. i i 1 1 A i 4u, iiul wun cannon or uaiue suul. With sword or nobler pen; Nay, not with eloquent words or thought. From mouths of wonderful men. But deep In a walled-up woman's heart Of woman that would not yield. But bravely, silently, bore her part Lol there is that battlefield. No marshaling troops, no bivouac song. No banner to gleam and wave; But, oh! these battles, they last so long. From babyhood to the grave. Yet faithful still as a bridge of stars She tights in her walled-up town Fights on and on in the endless wars. Then silent, unseen goes down. Oh. ye with banners and battle shot. And soldiers to shout and praise, I tell you the kingliest victories fought Were fought in these silent ways. Oh, spotless woman in a world of shame! With a splendid and silent scorn. Go back to God as white as you came. The kingllest warrior born! A Summer Serge. No one should think of going away for the summer without taking along at least one cloth dress to wear on cool days. For such a gown nothing Is better than summer serge. They are making these serge gowns this year with a plain skirt trimmed probably with a few rows of braid. The waist is made upon a fitted lining and in plaits at both the front and back. It is cut low at the neck to be worn with a chemisette of white linen. A very effective finish is afforded the waist by broad lapels of cream-white cloth stitched with blue silk or very narrow soutache braid. About French Hahlen. It is not generally known that in France it is a penal offense to give tiny form of solid food to babies under a year old, unless it be prescribed in writing by a properly qualified medical man. Ni'rses are also forbidden to use for their charges any sort of feeding bottle having a rubber tube. These and other equally stringent laws have recently been enacted by the French government, for, in despair of Increasing the birth rate of their country, they are now doing their utmost to save the lives of the comparatively small number of babies who are born. The Creation of Woman. At the beginning of time Twashtri the Vulcan of the Hindu mythology created the world. But when he wished to create a woman he found that he had employed all of his materials in the creation of man. There did not remain one solid element. Then T., perplexed, fell into a profound meditation. He aroused him

self to do as follows: He took the roundness of the moon, the undulations of the serpent, the entwinement of climbing plants, the trembling of the grass, the slenderness of the rose vine and the velvet of the flower, the lightness of the leaf and the glance of the fawn, the gayety of the sun's rays and the tears of the mist, the Inconstancy of the wind and the timidity of the hare, the vanity of the peacock and the softness of the down on the throat of the swallow, the hardness of the diamond, the sweet flavor of honey and the cruelty of the tiger, tha warmth of fire, and the chill of snow, the chatter of the jay and the cooing of the turtle dove. He united all this and formed a woman. Then he made a present of her to man. Eight days later the man came to Twashtri and said: "My lord, the creature you have given me poisons my existence. She chatters without rest. She takes all my time, she laments for nothing at all and is always ill." And T. received the woman again. But eight days later the man came again to thp god and said: "My lord, my life is very solitary since I returned this creature. I remember she danced before me. singing. I recall how she glanced at me from the corner of her eye, and that she played with me, clung to me." And Twashtri returned the woman to him. Three days only passed and T. saw the man coming to him again. "My lord." said he, "I do not understand exactly how, but I am sure that the woman causes me more annoyance than pleasure. I beg of you to relieve me of her. But T. cried: "Go your way and do your best." And the man cried: "I cannot live with her!" "Neither can you live without her," replied T. And the man was sorrowful murmuring: "Woe is me, I can neither live with nor without her."

Summer Fabrics. Some very smart gowns are being shown at the moment for summer wear. Cotton and linen fabrics .have never been so alluring. The sflky effect added to the gr?at variety of mulls, batistes, zephyrs, linens, organdies and other warm weather materials renders them more than ever desirable and attractive. Many of the cotton materials thus treated, either in plain or fancy patterns, have much of the lustre of an India silk or satin foulard. The linens are especially attractive and are being used for entire gowns, skirts, waists and even trimmings. Nothing could be more serviceable or stylish than the colored linen suits made with plain or tucked skirts and modified sailor blouse waists. These arc sometimes strapped in white braid and others are adorned with coarse Iaie in collar form, with cuffs and girdle matching. No prettier finish can be imagined than the heavy ecru lace thus applied to brown or blue duck or linen dresses. These are admirable for morning wear. Embroidered Holland is a favorite this year among the summer fabrics, and pique treated with incrustations of coarse lace is as effective as it is striking. Pique and duck costumes will again be worn. Some piques shown are quite light iu weight, having an open work dot. really an eyelet hole that is worked around with hand or machine embroidery. The fashion that has heretofore been popular of wearing silk waists with pique skirts will still prevail, but now the white waists are the correct thing, and the thin materials, like embroidered muslin, wash silk or those made of lace and ribbon, are preferred, and over them will be worn bolero or Eton jackets of pique. Among the new washable silk materials there is, notably, "silk cheviot," as it is called. This fabric appears in soft, beautiful shades of rose, amber and reseda; heliotrope, russet and mignonette, chamois, cream, pink, stem green, and in shades of blue. Smart Pique !owns. The fashionable pique gown of summer will be tailor-made and will be carried out in one color, with the ex ception of the contrasting touch in the j trimmings There will be no strines i or figures upon the entire pique suits. The patterned materials will be limited to separate skirts. It cannot be conscientiously claimed for the pique suit that it is an article of economy. To the contrary, it is tailor-made and costs almost as much as the stuff gowns. It is, however, very chic, and this consoles the woman of fashion for her reckless expenditure. Two

very pretty models displayed la advance of the summer season are described. One is In French black pique, relieved by stranoings of white. The white bands oune a double tunic upon the skirt and are employed upon the bodice to accentuate the curves of the figure. There is a wide lapel upon the bodice, made of white pique and stitched with black linen thread. A gown In striking contrast to the one just mentioned is developed in white and stitched with bands of per-

venche colored thread and the lapels of the jacket are of the same color pique, bordered with bands of white. Underneath the jacket is worn a waist of sheer white linen. The FartiaUty of White. One is early impressed with the favor which is being shown for white fabrics, every variety of which will be extremely fashionable. Summer gowns of white cloth and cloth of the faintest putty color are being made up over delicate silk linings. The cloth is cut out in graceful scrolls and arabesques, the silk showing through the narrow line of the cut. The combination of white taffeta silk with white cloth is convincingly displayed among some of the most elegant models. The cloth applied in bands, covered with rows of heavy black .stitching, stripes one entire costume in vertical lin?s rounding into wider bands, where they join at the hem. White nun's veiling and all coarse meshed canvases in white will be very much worn for afternoon frocks. White hats with white gowns promise to be unite iu vogue for summer wear. How to He Thin and Urarefal. The fair maids of Gotham are trying to become like sylphs, slender, graceful and beautiful. The first two attributes are easily secured. While dieting is the secret of slenderness, it is by no means necessary, for the woman who will exercise can work off her superfluous fat and acquire grace while doing so. It is absolutely necessary to exercise in undress. The maids and matrons of Gotham have adopted a simple little uniform consisting of baggy bloomers and loose blouse, says the Buffalo Times. Dressed in this they performing their exercises night and morning. They practice standing on both feet with abdomen drawn in and bust extended: they also practice the correct walk, with chin elevated. A horizontal bar is by no means necessary, but it is inexpensive and very useful as an exerciser. After a little practice it is easy to swing by the hands from the bar. and in a short time the more athletic of the fair athletes are able to swing round and round. Almond Macaroon. One pound of almond paste, one pound of powdered sugar, half pound of granulated sugar, one tablespoonful of Hour, one teaspoonful cream of tartar. Rub well together and mix with whites of about eight eggs. Put this on paper in drops the size of a walnut, bake in a slow oven till light brown, when cold take them off the paper by wetting the under side of the paper. Horace Greeley and Mary Young Cheney were married the first day they met. They had corresponded for some j time, a mutual friend who was something of a matchmaker having brought this about, says the New York Telegraph. TO SUMMER GOWNS.

A WEEK IN INDIANA.

RECORD OF HAPPENINGS FOR SEVEN DAYS. The CommlMloDcr of Spencer County Hive Made an Appropriation for th Purchase of the Land in Which LUcofii'a Mother' Orue L Located. The commissioners of Spencer county have appropriated $50 for the pur)ose of purchasing the sixteen-acre tract of land on which the crave of President Lincoln's mother is located and which at one time comprised a part of the Lincoln farm. The grave is located on the top of a steep hill, and the scenery is among the most picturesque in Indiana. The tract of land Is to be converted into a park and will be under the direct care of the Nancy Hanks Lincoln Memorial association, which is composed of prominent citizens. The park is to be beautified with drives and flowers, and a suitable monument is to be erected over the grave of Mrs. Lincoln. I.h l'orte in a Legal Tangl. The unique situation is presented at La Porte of the city owning a valuable fire alarm system, for which It contracted, but for which It can not make legal payment, nor can the system be removed. The litigation began in 1890. when the council, in opposition to Mayor Scott, contracted with the Gamewell company for its system. Mayor Scott contended that the city could not go beyond its constitutional limit of indebtedness. The litigation has been prosecuted in every court of jurisdiction in the United States, and a decision just handed down upholds the position of Mayor Scott. The litigation is said to have been prosecuted as a precedent for cass involving similar legal complications. TjMuraphleal I nion Count. Secretary John Bramwood of the International Typographical nnicn said: "The count of the vote is proceeding as rapidly as possible, but final figures will not be ready for two weeks.

Iener.il Mate News. A special election in the Fifth wp.rd at Elkhart, to determine a choice for councilman, resulted in the election of G. A. Kuhn, democrat, over J. B. Mover, republican. In the recent regular election these gentlemen tied. In the election yesterday Kuhn received 313 out of 56S votes. There was a tie vote in the May election between the candidates for council in the Second ward at Columbus. J. F. Tormehlen, democrat, and John L. Bonham, republican, again tried conclusions, and the first named was elected by a majority of eight. The Moorman. Plggs and Way families held their annual reunion at Moorman's grove, in Randolph county, 300 responding. These families settled in that section early in Indiana life, coming from Virginia and North Carolina. Prof. K. C. Welborn of the chair of mathematics of the Anderson high school has resigned to enter Stanford university. Prof. Heidt of the State university succeeds to the vacancy. Lessel Long, alleged to be a defaulter while serving as town treasurer of Andrews, the offense dating back several years, has given bond In $1.000 for trial in September. Allopathic physicians at Anderson are rejoicing because they succeeded in "downing" a homeopathic physician to look after smallpox cases, replacing him with an allopath. S. T. Blizzard, superintendent of the Michigan division of the Bis Four, with headquarters at Wabash, has gone to the Klondike to look after his mining Interests. A faithful and industrious courtship, which began at Brewersburg over twenty years ago. hns resulted In the marriage of John Heap and Miss Emma Cleaver. The census enumerators at Anderson canvassed a district under quarantine ban because of smallpox, and the authorities are nonplussed what &otion to take.
