BUDS AND BLOSSOMS.

Wedding of Mies Mary Ticker to the Aocieat Coloael Best. Newport, R. L, Oct. 3.—Fashionable weddings continue to excite interest in social circles. One yesterday attracted more attention than ary this season. The contracting parties were Miss Mary, daughter the late John SiuiBbury Tooker, of New York, and Clermont Livngston Beat, oolonel of the Fourth United Urates Artillery. Bishop Clark was aasisted in the ceremony by

Rm.

George J.

Magill. Two weeks ago society was as tonuhed by the announcementof thaea, gagement, which was immediately followed by a date for the marriage. The bridegroom is sixty, and has a

bob

as old

as the bride. He is an officer eft he First Artillery, and he and Lieut.. Walker &cted as ashen. From Fort Adams. came some eight or ten officers, clad in brilliant artillery uniforms, something very unusual in fashionable weddings Jhere. Miss Tootyer is said to be very wealthy. A short time pince she builF an elegant villa on a fashionable thoroughfare, where the wedding occurred. There were no bridesmaids, but'the bride's lady attendants were Miss Minnie Saver and Mrs. Alexander Bcuer, of Hew York. There was no beat man. Th^bride was given away by her b: other, Gabriel Head Tooker. Every apartment in the cottage was adorned with, flowers.

An.Eloper Caught:

J&O^TRBAL,0r?t.4.—James Vilieneuve, tbeabn or J. O. Vilieneuve, Mayor of St. Jean Baptist?, helped himself to fourteen hundred dollars out of his father's safe and eloped to the United States with a handsome young girl named Emma Lemaire, belonging to Qnebeo. United States detectives telegraphed to at once antt tbe honeymoon was interrupted at Troy, Tf* Y., where the couple were arrested. On refunding what money remained, Vilieneuve was released. The young lady, however, waa-eeut home..

Mrs. Hulskamp nee Victoria Moroaini is living with her husband in East Haven, Conn.,with the coachman of Congressman Mitchell, over the stable.

The' New Tork Journal says elopement is a deseaae. Blase you've got the oart be fore the boree. Elopement is the cure. The oieease is quite another thing.

Moroaini," writes the Rev. David Swing, "is the new name for the total blindness ol love. Moiouni is human reason in the act.of contemplating a decided goOse as a aeeided swan,"

William Culver a brother of Lieut Culver,of the navy, was mat ried recently to a Mies Brester, of Trenton Falls, who has negro biood ih her veins. The affair causes a great sensation at Utica, N. Y., the home o( the groom.

Misa Emma Babcock, nieoe of William Simmons, a wealthy resident of Troy, N. Y., recently married William Bartholomew, a middle aged man employed by her uncle. They will leave the city to avoid the expected row.

A typographical error we should judge in the EvanSville Courier makes a paragraph read.. "Several happy onions among the young people ot the city occured the last week, and more are to follow in the future." Fatting it up r&ther strong.

"What changed Mr. Joy's notion and led him to nominate Mr. Blaine at the Chicago convention oi 1880 I do not know.

you for ta»

kimi tei main «raiea jou have eommaaU ckted the rtAlutioffa ooaeeraiag me adopted by the late Domocratle convention. 1 saare year eonviotioa that reform in tbe administration of the Federal government, whieh is our great aational want and ia Indeed eeeenual to tbe restoration and preOervation of the government itself ean only be achieved through the agcncy of the Democratio party and by inatailing ite repreaenta live in the ehlet magiatraey of the United Sutee. The noble historical traditions of the Democratio party, the principlea in whieh it waa educated, and to whieh it hae ever been la the mala faithful. Ita freedom from corrupt influences, which grow up iff prolonged possession of power, and native of the elements which constitute it, all contribute to qualify ir for that miaeloa. The opposite eharacteristloa and eoadltfeaa which attach to the Republican party, make it hopeleee, except that that party will be able to give better government than the debaeing eyetem of abuse whieh, during its oeoetdency, hae ia fee ted offleial aad political life in thie oonn|ry. Tbe Demooratlo party had ite rrigia in the efforte of tbe mare advanced patriate of the revolution to reaiat tbe perveraian of our government from the ideal contemplated by the people. Among ite eonspleious founders are Benjamin Franklin and Thomaa Jefferson, Bamuel Adams and John Haaoock,of Maessohusetta, George Clinton and Robert R. Livlngoton, of New York, and George Mythe and Jamee Madleoa. of Virginia, rrom the election of Mr. Jefferaon aa preaideat ia 1800, for eixty yeare, the Democratic party mainly directed our national policy. It extended the boundarieeof the republic and laid the foundationa of all our national greataeaa while it preserved the limitationa imposed by the oonatitutlon and maintained a simple and pure system of domeetie admiaiatratlon. On the fttber hand tbe Republiean party has alwaya been dominated by priaclples which favor legislation for the benefit of particular olaasea at the expenses of the body ot tba people, ft haa become deeply tainted with the abuae which naturally grew

up

Ciulsion

during the pos­

sesion of unchecked power, especially in a period of civil war and false finance. Tbe patriotic and virtuous elements in it are now unable to emaacipate it from tbe sways of selfish interests, which subordinate public duty to personal greed. Tbe moat hopeful of the boot citizens it contains despair of ita amendment except through its temporary ex-

from power. It has beep, boaat-

ngly asserted by a modern Massachusetts statesman, atruggling to reconcile himself and bis followers to its presidential candidate, that the .Bepublican party Contains a disproportionate share of the wealth, tba culture and tbe intelligence of the oountry. The unprincipled Grafton, when taunted by James the Second with his personal want of conscience, answered: "That is true, but I belong to a party that baa a great deal of conscience." 6uoh reasoners forgot that the same claim has been made in all agea and 'countries by defendera of old wrongs against new reforme. It waa alleged by the tories of the American revolution againet the patriota of that day, it waa repeated agalaet Jefferaon and afterwards against Jaokson. The indispensible neoessity of our times ia a change of administration in the great executive offices of the country. This, in my judgemept, can only be done by the election of the Democratic candidates, for preeident and vicc-presi-dent. (Signed)

VIGO, Ind., Oct. 8.—[Editor Gazette]— I noticed that tho Terre flame Board of Health intend to put a quarantine in the south part or the city to keep the people from the southern part ot the county out of Terre Haute. Now I tuiak iLe bet* thing they can do is to quarantine the in fected district that the small-pox is now prevailing in. We think we have ae good a right to a quarantine south of the infected district as north of it and thoss that have been exposed to it are roaming over the county at large. If there is nothing done soon the wnole of the south part of the county will be inoculated. It is now eonflned to a section of about four .miles square and could be keot so if the people would stsy at home.

[fhe jurisdiction of the Terre Haute Board of Health is confined to this city. Your own local authorities must quarantine the various townships and neighborhoods and it ought to be done.—Ed.
