UrrEKTKN'DOM at the capital city had a sensation on Tuesday occasioned by the intelligence that Mr. Elisha W. Jones, sonofAquilla Jones, Sr., had eloped the niglit before with Miss Alice Webb, daughter of Willis W. Webb, Esq. The bride having secured some clothing loft home on pretence of going to the concert, and meeting the groom at an appointed place, the couple were soon made one, and embarked on a train bound east. The Sentinel intimates that this course was taken by the parties because the bride's parents refused their consent to the marriage, deeming her "o'er young to marry."

the Princeton Democrat we learn
that a little girl, some six years of age, daughter of a Mr. Jenkins, was burned to death, near Oakland City, in Gibson county, on.Tuesday last, under the following circumstances: The parents went from home to gather hickory nuts, leaving this little child—only six years old—at home alone, to attend to a babe while they were absent. During their absence her clothes in some manner caught fire, and she ran out of doors, tearing what clothes she could from her body, but was unable to get them all off, and falling upon her knees, with her face hidden between her hands, (in which position she was found by her parents upon their return,) she burned to death.
THE Bloomfield Democrat closes a long and interesting article on the growth and improvement* of that place, thus:
It will be seen that our town is improving rapidly—much more rapidly than towns which make great pretentions to wealth and advantage over us in position. And all this in a season which is considered extremely dull—depressing. "What may we expect when business opens up lively, when our railroad is built, our mines opened and the great producing country by which we are surrounded acknowledges Bloomfield as its market?— The question is easily answered—our town will continue to increase in wealth and size, until Bloomfied has assumed the position and importance for which nature has intended it.

A Letter From the Fnntin Murderer.
Traupmann, the atrocious assassin of the Kinek family, still denies his guilt, lie has written the following letterto his brother, who is an engineer in the French navy:— "My Dear Brother—Do not reject these few lines, as I have not the courage to write to our poor parents. Endeaver to console them as well as in your power. Tell them that they ought not to consider meso culpable as the journals assert. You can assure them that 1 am not a murderer, as they perhaps believe me at this moment, although I am accused as such. 1 wish that you were not a soldier, so that you might at least aid in solacing the distress with which our family is overwhelmed. or that you could invent something which would produce a little money to enable them to go to America for in France they will never again be at rest. In the United States at least they would not be the mark of scorn. Do what you can to qaufort them for myself I can do nothing oat weep for them. If anything happens in our family, you will be kind enough to write to me. I do not ask for news, for I know well in what position ihev are. If I am downhearted, it only on their account misfortune has fallen upon me and I submit. Embrace my parents for me, although they perhaps believe me unworthy of their favor. Your unhappy brother, "J. B. TRAITMANW"
This lettter was forwarded to his sister Francoisc with the addition of the following few lines from Edmund, who has always borne an excellent character: "I at once replied, adjuring him to denounce his accomplices. I will send you his answer when I receive it. Tell our parents that I still remain their devoted son. "K. TRAITMAXX. "P. S.—Endeavor principally to console our |oor mother."

fflPOSEffi WEDDING.
Marriage of a Daughter of Bishop Simpson—(Jen. Grant and Ladj In Attendance Other Distinguished Guests—The Ceremony.
From the Philadelpeia Post Oct 28.] Notwithstanding the number of fashionable marriages that take place in Philadelphia, but few reach the notice of the public. We understood that it was intended that this occasion should also be kept quiet, but then that was impossible, as two weeks since it was {announced that President Grant would visit this city, and as a matter of course everybody wanted to know the object of his coming. In this way the secret was let out that he, with his wife, was to attend the marriage of Miss Anna Simpson, a daughter of Bishop Simpson, to a young gentleman of this city, J. Riley Weaver by name.
THE CURIOSITY OF THE LADIES. As usual, the ladies greatly exceeded the gentlemen in point of numbers, and it was curious to note how persistent they were in their efforts to get into the building, and, finding that impossible, they wanted only to get within the iron railing surrounding the church but the policemen were inexorable, and they were compelled to turn and be jostled about until one would think the life had been forced out of them.
THE CROWDS OUTSIDE THE CHURCH. Although the ceremony was announced to come off at 8 o'clock, crowds of people began assembling in the vicinity at as early an hour as fj o'clock, so that by the former hour at least 2,000 people had collected. Many a lady who had spent several hours in arranging her toilet found that all her labor to make herself look "killing" had been spent in vain. However, the holders of the 800 tickets which had been issued succeeded in getting in, and bv the time they were all seated the auditorium was well filled, though not at all crowded.
THE DOORS TPP.OWN OPEN.
The doors were thrown open about halfpast 7 o'clock, and when once inside the visitor was taken in charge by one of the six ushers, who were in full dress, white kids, sprig in buttonhole, and politely shown a seat. The greatest order was observed during the process, and Jhe rustling of the trailed silk dNess was distinctaudible in all parts of the house.
THE DISTINGUISHED GUESTS. Just a few moments prior to 8 o'clock Mayor Fox and lady entered by meaus of the rear door, and took possession of one of the front pews, which had been reserved for the family and special guests Shortly after Gen. Eagan, in full uniform, and lady, were shown to a seat. He was followed by Gen. Moorehead and lady. Among the clergymen present we noticed Rev. W. J. Stephenson, Rev. Alfred Cook man, Rev. Dr. Newman, of Washington, D. C. Rev. Dr. Durbin, of New York Rev. Dr. Nesbitt, of Pittsburg Rev. Messrs. Gray, Torrance and Castle, of this city.
THE ENTRANCE OF GENERAL GRANT. After all had been comfortably seated, Chas. II. Jarvis took his place at the organ and soon pealed forth some delightful strains of music, in the midst of which there was a considerable flutter among the audience. The excitement was occasioned by the entrance of President Grant and ladv. The curious had been disappointed, as the Presidential party, consisting of nimself, lady, General Dent and Senator A. G. Cattell, had surprised everybody, in asmuch as they came into the auditorium from the rear of the chancel, and only those who occupied front seats were given the opportunity of seeing the President and his wife. The General and Senater Cattell were in full dress General Dent was in uniform, and Mrs. Grant was neatly attired in a blue silk dress, black lace mantle, and a handsome white bonnet.
THE AUDIENCE WAITING.
The audience had been waiting impatiently for over half an hour, when the organ began playing Mendelssohn's "Wedding March." This was the signal that the bridal party had arrived, and everybody was on the quivire.
ENTER THE BRIDAL PARTY. The doors of the centre aisle were closed, and as the last notes of the march were dying away they were thrown open and the party began marching up the aisle. First came the bridesmaids and groomsmen—Miss Ella Simpsoil and Mr. J. C. Lucas, Miss Amelia Verner and Mr. Adams, iss Ella Pusey and Mr. Smith, Miss Belle Morrison and Mr. Greene, Miss Carrie Weaver and Mr. Patton—followed by Mrs. Bishop. Simpson leaning on the arm of the groom, and Bishop Simpson, who had in charge the bride. The latter wore white silk and point lace. The dress was made with an excedingly long yet graceful train. Of course there was the usual bridal veil which completely hid the face of the wearer from view. The bridesmaids were similarly attired. Mrs. Bishop Simpson wore a steel-colored silk,
IX FROXT OF THE CHANCEL. As the bridal party reached the front pews they filed in front of the chancel, when the bride left the arm of her father and took her position alongside of the groom.
TltE CEREMONY
Shortly thereafter Bishop Janes advanced toward the couple and began the beauti ful and solemn ceremony, which is very similar to that used in the Episcopal Church. The respones of both the groom and bride could be heaad distinctly all over the church. After the benediction the party filled out of die chucrch, and, having entered the carriage, proceeded to the residence of Bishop Simpson, No. 1.907 Mount Vernon street,where therecep tion took place, continuing from nine o'clock to eleven. President Grant and lady were among the callers

Which were displayed in an upper room, comprised over one hundred articles, of which silverware was the principal feature. There were also several checks, one of which was for $500.

A Lady of the West End Sees a Dazzling Light in the Heavens—She Calls Her Friends and They all Perceive a Man ofGrcat Beauty. Flanked by Angelic Infants, and Two Women Kneeling—A Motto Seen
Through Smoked Glass—A Strange and Startling Tale.
From the Boston Times.] On Friday morning last, at about four o'clock, a lady resident of the West End of the city, having occasion to ascend the roof of her dwelling, beheld a brilliant reflection of a light of many colors, like the rainbow, on the white linen hanging on her lines, and, raising her darkened eyes in bewilderment to the sky, was obliged to cover them with her hands on account of the dazzling effulgence and splendor which met her view and transfixed, with a dart, her very soul.
Quivering with astonishment and fear, she hastened down stairs and alarmed the inmates of the house, who, eager to behold what she had failed to portray in words, were .astounded at seeing in the firmament the blazing form of a man as resplendent as the sun in its meridian glory, liound about him the forms of gorgeously attired infants of angelic beauty hovered, and beneath them were seen the profiles of two women in a kneeling posture.

How XaMhetiref in Edbibnrg— Character of the Workmen—Material Used and Where Foand.
In Edinburg there are upward of thirty master jewelers, who emyloy from half a dozen to thirty men each. All the work done is of a superior kind, no attempt being made to vie with Birmingham in the production of cheap and showy article-!, the beaiitv of which is as transient as a flower. Gold and silver of standard quality a' used to a large extent, bat for a certain class of trinkets these metals are alloyed wi:h a considerable proportion of copper.
The jeweler melts his metals in a crucible, and casts them into ingots about two inches broad, three inches long, and one-eight of an inch thick. The ingots are reduced to any degree of thickness by being passed between steel rollers. The sheets or plates of metal thus produced are intrusted to a workmen, who, guided by drawings or models, clips out the pieces required for the various articles to be made. The pieces are given along with the designs to other workmen, who put them together. These men are seated at large tables, round the sides of which are a series of semi-circular recesses, each recess being occupied by a workman. After the pieces .are brought to the exact sixe required, they are soldered together by an oxv-hydrogen blow-pipe.
Articles of an ornate character, such as brooches and bracelets, covered with designs in filligree work, or inlaid with pebbles, require great nicety of manipulation, and the number of parts which go to compose one of these is immense. We were shown a pebble bracelet of a finely wrought geometrical pattern, in wich were no fewer shan 160 pieces of stone, each of which was shaped and fitted with the greatest exactness. In making an article which is to be inlaid with pebbles such as a brooch, the jeweler forms a back, or foundation, to which a plate, pierced with apertures for the pebbles, is fixed, a convenient space being left between the two plates. At this stage the work 13 passed to 'the lapidary, who cuts and fixes the pebbles.
The stones are at first cut with a revolving disc of iron, coated with emery and oil, and roughly shaped with a pair of pincers. Each piece is then taken succession and attached to a "gum-stick," a small piece of wood with a quantity of strong cement on the end. Held in this way, the stone is ground to the required shape on a revolving disc. When all the pieces are brought to the shape of the apertures designed for them, they are set in with shellac. The outer surface has, up till this time, been left rough but, after the cement has hardened, the lapidary takes the brooch in his hand, and manipulates it on the grinding disc until the stone is reduced to the level of the metal which surrounds it. The surface is next polished, and the brooch is returned to the jeweler.
Usually pebble brooches have in the center a "cairngorm," or what is commonly supposed to be one though, in most cases, the oriental topaz does duty for the Highland crystal, and, so far as beauty is concered, with considerable advantage on its side. The topazes are obtained ready cut, and are not "set" until the work on the other parts of the brooch is all but completed. The exposed surface of the metal on the face of the brooch is usually relieved by engraved scroll-work. Enameled jewelry has recently come into fashion to some extent, and fine specimens have been produced, the runic patterns especially being very beautiful. The lapidaries obtain their pebbles from various quarters of the country.
Aberdeenshire furnishes emeralds, agates, and the famous Cairngorm crystals and in the parish of Leslie, in the same county, is found a beautiful amianthus, which is wrought into snuff-boxes, &c. Ayrshire furnishes agates and jaspers Perthshire bloodstone and a variety of others Forfarshire, jaspers and Mid Lothian, the Pentland pebble and the Arthur's Seat jasper. Amethysts were once abundant in Scotland, bnt they have now become so scarce that the)' fetch about JE3 an ounce. At Elle, in Fifesliire, garnets are occasionally found. Then there are the Scotch pearls, so much valued for their size and jeauty, though inferior in some respects to the Oriental kind. With such a variety of material the Scotch jewelers have great facilities for producing multitudinous designs and they seem to be improving their opportunity.
As might be expected, the silversmiths nd jewelers are an intelligent class of workmen, and nearly all of them are or have been students in the school of design.
Their occupation being however, to a great extent simply mechanical, their wages are not higher than those of skilled workmen in other trades which fall under that designation. Silversmiths and lapidaries serve an apprenticeship ofsixyears, and jewelers atld cilvercliasers of seven years. Silversmiths, chascrs, and

In the centre there was no adornment, while at either end were placed rustic arbors in which rested bird cages and vases filled with fish.

to 30s. aweek, and lapidaries 24s. but in exceptional cases higher rates are earned. About two years ago the men ide a successful movement for the reduction of their hours of labor to fifty-seven a week but without any pressure on their part, a considerable advance has been made on the rate of wages within the past few years.
Mrs. Grundy.
Let me whisper in your ear and tell you that Mrs. Grundy is a humbug. I think it would be the most blessed thing that could happen in this vale of tears if Mrs. Grundy should die. What a relief it would be to all of us! Existence would be a boon instead of a bore.
While Mrs. Grundy lives, every man and woman is an arrailtJliypoCrite. While that fearful woman stands looking at us, every man and woman is an arrant coward. We flatter ourselves—for there is not a man or woman who really believes il—that we are saying and doing things from principle, when in reality we are saying and doing them because Mrs. Grundy, in the shape of our next door neighbor, is looking at us and talking about us. You and I go to church and sit through services which may be the essence of stupidity, and we put on serious faces, and sit very primly, and regard our mortal enemy in the next slip with a lenient face, and pretend to listen to Dr. Crcamclieese's commonplaces, and go out very solemnly—and all because Mrs. Grundy is looking at us from every direction, and when Ave get home, out of Mrs. Grundy's sight, we arc ourselves again.
We go through the formalities of a fast, and rigidly abstain from the good things while Mrs. Grundy's eyes are upon us, but the moment they are removed, we go into the larder and indulge in the best it affords. Celeste meets with another Dear Creature and lavishes all her affcctions upon her, when she does not care a snap of her pretty little finger about her, merely because Mrs. Grundy is looking at her. We are all of us, every day of our lives, going through with tedious conventionalities, which we do not believe in, merely because that woman Grundy is looking at us. She makes us hypocrites in every function of life. Thackery struck Mrs. Grundy a blow in the face when he drew with his satirical and powerful pencil Louis XI. in his royal robes and Louis XI. in puris nntiiralilmx. In one picture we saw Louis XI. in the light of Mrs. Grundy. In the other we saw him himself. We wear a double suit: one which we know is a lie, for the world the other, which we know is the truth, for ourselves.
The world will get verv near to millenium when Mrs. Grundy dies. Until that time the lion and the lamb will not lie down together. If they do, the lion will try and convince himself that he is a lamb, although he is aching to breakfast on him, and tne lamb will try to convince himself he is a lion.

One man, a Mr. AViggin, also a resident average of couples, though each had peof the West End, and a very trustworthy I culianties. The last sickness of Mrs. C. gentleman, possessing more esprit present than the others, burnt a piece of glass through which were perceivable these words: "Come, notr is the accepted timr come noirJ" These were in very large green letters, which he says he plainly saw. There were other words, but our informant could not decipher them. "In the last days there shall be signs in the heavens. Surely, the end must be approaching when justice shall no longer be tempered with mercy, but with the wrath of the GREATJUDGE of all judges— "Who shall not fail nor be discouraged.
was somewhat prolonged, and was varied by frequent attacks that, as her attendants thought, were each her last. The Deacon, upon the recurrence of these attacks, was always called from his work but after a few of them, he always assured her and those about her she would come out of it all right, that she was in no danger of dying. One day the Deacon was busily at work when he was notified that his wife was worse, and was dying—"Oh, no she ain't, she'll come out all right, no trouble," he said. But the attendants insisted upon it that he should go in, and that his wife would not live more than a few minutes. So the Deacon laid down the tools with which lie was at work, and went to the room occupied by his wife and lo her bedside. After looking at her for a few minutes, he turned to those present, and exclaimed,'"Well, there this looks more like it." And so it proved—the Deacon was never called again.
It is quite proper for a river, but, not a sppech. to have a good s'rong damn.
