The pastor uttered a beautiful prayer at tlie coucln-slon of the ceremony, after which the heartiest congratulations were given to them, and cordial wishes were expressed 1 hut their future would be blessed with everything that was good. It was in deed a happy wedding, where every body was glad to extend the kindesi Wishes, and where were assembled many warm and sincere friends of bflth parties, who were delighted to have an opportunity of being present at an event that was attended with so many pleasures.THE RKG KIETS.Tbe guests in the mala were from the pity and country. There would have been many present from abroad, but the bad condition of the railroads doubtless prevented some from reaching here. Among the letters of regret was one Irom the Chapter of tire Beta ThetipT’ of the Northwestern University .that tbe groom is a member of, which contained words ot wnrm friendship for the gentleman. Another was received from Miss Frances Wllliard, President of the National Women’s Christian Temperance Union, who was a teatcher of the groom in the University, and who expressed the wish that thn future of the gentleman and his estimable lady would be fraught with happiness and good luck.REP-ftlSSHMENTS were announced at about nine o'clock, and the bill of fare included all the good things that go to make up an excellent supper. Mrs Lynn had charge of the pastry department, with good results.Eight years ago, when the bride was on a visit to her cousin, Miss Emma Hittle, at Lincoln, the lady was preparing a wedding cake for a bride, and a promise was exacted from her to make one for the bride on the occasion of her marriage, The promise was faithfully kept, and the guests had the pleasure last evening of partaking of the delicious cake made by the lady.The eatables were served on paper-covered lap-boards, which were regarded as quite a novelty..TOY AND Alir.TH reigned supreme throughout the evening, and the guests were entertained handsomely in a musical way. Miss Laura Oemmill, a lady who ranks high as a musician, played a very beautiful instrumental piece, and Mrs John G Oyler sang with good effect “you’ll Think of This Again Some Day,” receiving many conpliments.. Mrs F B Klock played accompaniments for Miss Sadie Tobias, of Peoria, who is a vocalist worthy of all the honors which music-lovers care to bestow on great artists, for she has long been known as an especially pleasing vocalist. She sang “The Weighted Heart,” and Take Me, Jamie, Dear,” in such a manner a3 to meet with popular appreciation. Miss Tobias is a sister of the bride, and now makes her home at Peoria, where tire family formerly resided. She devotes her whole time to music, and sings in the choirs of the Jewish Synagogue and the Reformed Episcopal ebureb, as well as often appearing in public. Toward midnight the guests began to disappear, expressing the wish that life would deal gently and kindly with the lady and gentleman who had taken upon themselves such high and responsible duties.thk mums lady happily possessed of many charming traits of character, and one that any man might be proud to win for a wife. She has hosts of friends in this city who are a unit in wishing her all the happiness that can possibly fall to the lot of mortals. She is, like her husband, a member of tbe First M. E. Church, and is also a member of the choir. For a long time she was a writer iu the County Clerk’s office, and in the circle in which Bhe mingles she is a great favorite.THE GROOJl native of Savanna, though he has resided in Freeport nearly all the days of his life.

The speaker, after introducing his theme, gave the following five reasons why the tair sisterhood should be initiated into the rites and mysteries of the Ancient Fraternity:It would be a return to the original Order. Tbe iirst secret society consisted of but two members, oue a woman and the other a gentleman in black. Its purpose was the search for wisdom. It was organized in the dark shadows of the trees of Paradise. Its members sat down to a banquet of apples, nothing but apples. And there was nothing mean about Eve; she went out directly and took Adam in. And Eve’s daughters have ever since been taking Adam’s sons. It would be only fair to reciprocate.It would be in tbe line of progress. Women are everywhere coming the front. In Rotterdam, the speaker said, he saw men bolding the tiller of the canal boats, and women in front, with a rope around their waists, drawiBg the boats. Thus everywhere women are coming to the front. The proper thing for the Masonic fraternity would be to recognize this aud act accordingly.It would be a just tribute to the natural qualilications of the women. It is a delicate thing to manage the machinery of a Masonic lodge. “My mother raised me,'’ said the speaker, and there are none like the mothers to raise‘men.’”And they possess one qualification specially needful to Masous. i. ., se-crefiveness. TheCmnese^hiWMplIefr Tabplng, said, ‘If you want to keep a Secret, ask your wife to help yojiJi-—^ It would be aecordlrnrfethe traditional courtesy of tbe Masonic body. The little girl was right who asked on returning from church, Mother, why does the preacher always say A-men, and never A-women?” We have been slighting the sisters in an unknlghtly way.It would be a very definite contribution to the domestic peace. The eaker drew an imaginary picture of King Solomon returning from Lodge to meet his seven hundred wives. All mbarrassment would bave been had he taken his wives by the and escorted them with him to the mystic spot. But that would have been impossible unless be had taken BriareuB along to help him.In closing tbe speaker gave notice that be would introduce a motion at the next meeting of Mosiao Lodge, asking from the grand dignitaries of Ma-lonry a special dispensation, that the sisters be henceforth admitted into the full enjoyment of Masonic rights and priveleges; and that the proper machinery for their initiation be procored at once, particularly’.! side-saddie for the goat.The Electric Light,CS Cleaver, of the Thomson-Houston company, arrived in the city yesterday, and will at once make arrange ments for the new circuit. The uew dynamo will arrive in about two wee'. s.Mr Cleaver Bays that no urrange-pla
