A Golden Wedding.
One of those rare and interesting
events, and beautiful because rare, of
the celebration of a fiftieth wedding
anniversary, was commemorated on
Sunday by Mr. and Mrs. William K.
Lewis, long and worthy and esteemed
residents of Norwalk. The occasron
was observed with that quiet modesty
befitting the Sabbath day and theEwell
known tastes of the happy_recipients
of congratulations. A family dinner
Was spread at which all the children
and children’s children were present, as
was the only surviving brother of Mrs.
Lewis, Mr. F. J .,Mallory and his Wife,
Mr. and Mrs. Wm. H. Smith and Mrs.
Hobbs. Another sister, Mrs. D. E.
Culver, was unable to be present on the
happy occasion. being absent at North
East Harbor, Maine. . _
Many beautiful and touching remind-
ers of the event were presented by the
children and grand-children and other
relatives and friends,but the most inter-
esting and valuable gift was from the
aged mother of the bride, Mrs. James
Mallory, whose beautiful old age is
serenely creeping close up to a full cen-
tury. who gave her daughter a rich and
costly garment presented her by her
revered husband on the _occas10n of
their golden wedding anniversary held
nearly a quarter of a. century ago.
This is a rarely beautiful India shawl.
Gold coins, gold spoons, gold-decorated
vases, lamps, etc., with golden-rod and
choice golden tinted flowers galore,
made bright the comfortable home of
the celebrators. A congratulatory note
from Grace Church rectory, a brilliant
bouquet of cut flowers from Mrs. Sam-
uel Talcott, were among the many other
kind remembrances of loving friends.
But the wedding itself was one of Nor—
walk’s most notable society events in
“yo olden time.” and is worthy a de-
tailed republication :
William K. Lewis and Sarah C. Mal—
lory were married by the Rev. Dr. Ed-
win Hall, at the old Congregational
“meeting house” on the Green. on the
evening of Monday, August 19, 1844.
Samuel R. P. Camp and Frances E.
Keeler (sister of the late Mrs. Edwin
Mallory) were the same evening mar-
ried at St. Paul’s Episcopal church, by
the Rev. Dr. Wm. Cooper Mead. It
was known and long commented on as
the “Double Wedding.” Mr. Camp
and Miss Keeler first stood up with Mr.
Lewis and Miss Mallory during their
wedding ceremony at the Congrega-
tional church and Mr. and Mrs. Lewis
immediately accompanied the first
named over to St. Paul’s and stood up
with them when Dr. Mead made them
Mr. and Mrs. Camp, and in addition,
Chas. O. C. Betts and Sarah Lounsbury
stood up with them. J. Fitch Mallory
and Elizabeth Betts, (daughter of the
late George W. Betts of East avenue;
stood up with Mr. Lewis and Miss Mal-
lory at their marriage ceremony and
all stood together before the altar at
the Camp wedding at St. Paul’s. Men,
women and children packed both
churches to overflowing and stampeded
from the first to get within the second,
in order to witness the novel wedding.
Another notable event of the same
evening, besides the weddings and the
excitement prevailing here over the
Henry Clay campaign, as recorded in
the GAZETTE of that date, was that of
an earthquake following the nuptials.
which not only shook up N orwalk, but
all the shore towns of Connecticut.
This seismic disturbance was never
clearly established as being in any way
connected with the double wedding.
There were no railroad cars here in
those days and early the following, or
Tuesday morning, David Stevenson
had back driver Charles Partric on the
box of his best coach, to which was
harnessed “Uncle Davi ’s” best team,
and thus the “weddeners” rode to New
Haven, stopping over night and taking
cars on the New Haven, Hartford 8;
Springfield road to the latter city,
reaching there the same night and stop-
ping over till Thursday at the old Mas-
sasoit House. Next day they reached
Boston and attended Sunday service at
the old South Church and on Monday
got down to Newport and from thence
came down the Sound by boat, having
in all, made the most remarkable
“bridal tour” to the record of any Nor-
walk parties up to that date. And in-
deed this trip was more discussed than
3 trip to China or Japan would be to-
ay.
Mr. and Mrs. Lewis bid fair to live
to reach their diamond. wedding, and
hosts of friends wish that they may.
If the President takes Senator Hill’s
advice he will veto the tarifi’ bill, but
the President has not been in the habit
of using the Hill brand of advice.
Won’t Employ a Lawyer.
The Bridgeport News prints the fol-
lowing concerning a well-known resi-
dent of Weston: ,
“My, name is Joel Perry of Weston.
I am 79 years of age and never was
married. They say that is what makes
me so spry. I never did love but one
woman and she would not have me.
She married a worthless cuss who drank
hard and abused her. I have always
tried to be straight in my dealings and
have never had trouble till now and I
came down to see if you could not help
me out of it. I think the law should
be on my side because I am right.”
Joel Perry of Weston addressed the
above to Sheriff Fenelon and County
Commissioner Rowlands at the court
house. The trouble he was in was over
some property in Weston. He had oc-
cupied it for ‘40 years and has a deed of
it. He held the undisputed ownership
of the property for all that time, but
now another man claims that it is his.
He has a prior deed he claims and says
he inherited the land from a relative.
The land has grown to be valuable now
and the man who claims that he has a
prior deed wants to oust Joel. .
The latter said, “I don’t think much
of lawyers and would not spend money
on them. I come to you because I
think you can advise me as well as a
lawyer. I have the deeds here and I
don’t see how they can take my land
from me.” Mr. Perry was advmed to
look aft-er his interests. Sheriff Fene-
lon said he thought Joel had a good
case but a lawyer could search the
titles to the property and settle the
question better than anyone else.
Joel said he would not employ a law-
yer anyway. He said. “I will tell you
what I Will do. I will go to Hartford
and get the opinion of Elisha Carpen-
ter. He is a state referee. He is paid
a salary by the state to settle such ques-
tions. If he tells me that I am right
I don’t want anything better. I will
go right home and defy them, I would
rather have a state referee’s opinion
than a lawyer’s.”

Laying His Pipes.
Says the Bridgeport Union, of to-day:
Who will be selected to run against Mr.
DeForest is a question of much interest
just now. Hon. E. J. Hill, of Norwalk,
001. J. W. Knowlton, and ex-Speaker
Allan W. Paige of this city are mention-
ed. Mr.Hill, it is understood, is laying
his pipes and it is said Knowlton has
been doing some hustling in Litchfield
county. The man Hon. Samuel Fes’
senden favors, will be very apt to get
the nomination. What the republicans
want is a man who can follow Mr. De-
Forest through the district and make
speeches.
The names of those who are likely to
be on the tickets this fall is not the on-
ly thing many republicans are willing
and anxious to talk about. Apolitician
who knows the ins and outs of the party
in Bridgeport said last night : “This is
the year the younger element of the
party are going to step forward and
make themselves felt. The feeling
which has been growing for some time
past, that they are entitled to more
recognition than they have received in
the past, will be shown this fall. They
will not only ask, but will accompany it
with a demand for reasonable recogni-
tion.”l

Twenty—Sixth C. V.
It was a gala day at Bushy Point yes-
terday on account of the thirty-first an-
nual reunion of the survivors of the

SAVED LINCOLN FROM CAPTURE.
Colonel Sillowaye, \Vho Did This, is Now
Pennlless in Boston.
A recent dispatch from Boston says that
001. William Allen Huntley Sillowaye,
who once saved President Lincoln from
capture, is living with his wife in a. single
room in a. lodging house, ill and destitute.
Colonel Sillowaye is in his seventy-sixth
year. He is a. printer.
Col. Sillowaye was attached for a. time
to the staff of Gen. McClellan. He was
wounded four times and was in Libby
prison. The feat which brought him wide
reputation was the incident regarding
President Lincoln in 1863. This happened
after Col. Sillowaye was wounded at South
Mountain and had resigned to go into the
navy. In May, 1863, the President had
been down to City Point and was coming
back on the Brooks. They were running
by Tobacco Point, when a. Confederate
battery opened fire on them, and a shot
came through the port paddles. The Col-
onel says:
“The steamer ' stopped and began to
drift. We could see them on the Virginia
shore preparing to get a boat off to us.
Capt. Brooks, our commander, did. not
know What to do, when I came on deck
and said to him that we must get the
President off at all hazards.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
“I said I would go if we could get a
crew. The Captain ageecd, and a boat
was manned and shoved off from our
vessel. It was dusk, and the crew with
its charge was soon lost in the shadows
hovering over the river. We landed the
President in safety on the Maryland shore,
where he remained in security until he
could be transported to IVashington.
“The Confederates boarded our vessel
and demanded the President, and, failing
to find him, wreaked their vengeance
on the sick and disabled’so‘idiers on
board.”
Col. Sillowaye-received letters from the
President, Secretary Stanton, and Secre-
tary Welles in recognition of the event,
and Secretary Stanton said in his letter:
“The President believes that you, un-
der the guidance of Providence, saved
him from capture, if not from instant
death.”
Sillowaye was then commissioned 3. Col-
onel as a reward for his services.
A NOVELTY IN BUTTERFLIES.
Editor Gibson Made It. for the Benefit
of an Amateur Naturalist.
Puck has in its litliographing depart-
ment a German who is an amateur natur-
alist. He is a constant. delight to the edi-
torial department, or rather he was until
Managing Editor Gibson hurt his feelings
last week. Schmidt—that isn’t his name,
but it will do—carries part of his natural
history collection around with him. ,Mr.
Gibson doesn’t know anything about
those things and he doesn’t want to.
Mr. Gibson was pinching the creases in
his trousers one warm day when an unus-
ually large cockroach crawled up on his
desk and looked at him. ,
He captured the cockroach and boxed
him up. Then he cut a pair of large Wings
out of tissue paper and persuaded artist
0. J. Taylor to paint them in colors.
\Vhen they were neatly fastened on the
cockroach’s back he placed the animal on
his desk and summoned Schmidt. The
amateur naturalist is near sighted and
wears glasses.
“Schmidt,” said Mr. Gibson, “here’s a.
new butterfly for your bug collection. It
flew into the office just now.”
By this time the cockroach was crawl-
ing up the wall, handicapped by his paper
wings. Schmidt~ approached it closely,
and, peering through his glasses exclaim-
ed: .,
“Gott in Himmel, Mr. Gcebsonl Das
ist Ungehcuer!” -
“Yah, so I thought,” returned Mr. Gib-
son.
“Yah,” said Schmidt, still squinting
through his glasses. “Vate a minute for
my glass.”
Off dashed Schmidt, and when he re-
turned he had a large magnifying glass.
He focussed it on the strange butterfly
and peered again. For a moment he was
perplexed. He gently took a wing be-
tween his thumb and first finger and off
it came. He squinted harder, and a. look
of disgust settled on his features. He
brushed the cockroach off the wall, and,
with an explosive “Donnerwetter!” he
left the oflice.
“You can’t "suit some men,” said Mr.
Gibson thoughtfully, again pinching the
creases in his trousers.
The Smallest Current Coin.
Which is at the same time the smallest
coin and the coin of least value at present
current in Europe? In the absence of a.
knowledge of any smaller and more
worthless. I should be inclined, writes a.
correspondent, to award the palm to the
Greek lepton, a. specimen of which has
recently come into my hands. The lepton
is, according to the- decimal monetary
system current in countries belonging to
the Latin union, the hundredth part of
the drachma. Now the Greek drachma
is, while nominally the equivalent of the
franc or the lira, at present worth less
than 6d., the rate of exchange about a.
fortnight ago being 42.60 drachmas to an
English sovereign. The lepton is, there-
fore, approximately worth about onefifth
of an English farthing. ——Westminster
Review. ,
Oscar is not Modest.
Mr. Oscar Wilde’s forthcoming book
proclaims his belief that he has solved
the mystery of Shakespeare’s Sonnets, and
presents his solution. It is entitled “The
Incomparable and Ingenious history of
Mr. ‘V. H., Being the True Secret of
Shakespeare’s Sonnets, Now for the First
Time Here Truly Set Forth.” The initial
letters and cover designs are by that “pre-
cious” artist, Mr. Charles Ricketts.
