A quiet, grassy elope among the hills, on the borderland of England and Scot - was the scene of an open air wed- ding one night this week. The bride's home was on the Cumberland side about fifty yards up the hillside from • the stream which divides the two countries. The bridegroom is a shepberd belonging to the Teviothead district of the Sottish border county of Roxburgh. It was desired that the ceremony shoul be performed at the bride's home, but as the English name -rine laws do not allow weddings in private houses a, Scot- tish minister was obtained and the mar- riage was performed on the hillside on the Scottish side of the border, The bridegroom's party travelled five miles over the hillside from the railway sta- tion and was joined by the bride's party, which walked down from her house. The customary young men's race was run af- ter the ceremony, and then the two par - Hoe crossed the stream into England and climbed the hill to the bride's house.— Imedon Evening Standard. • Minaret's Liniment used by Physicians THE WALKIN-TRE-WATER, The first steamboat to ply regularly between ports on the great lakes as a meehanicel and commercial success to the extent ofe paying dividends to its owner, was the 'Walk -in -the Water. This singular name was suggested by an in- cident related by an old. navigator of the lake. When rulton first steamed his boat the Clermont up the Hudson in 1807 an Indian standing on the river bank ex- claimed "Walks in Water!" The Irian of the forest save the paddle wheels revolving end comprehended that when a paddle struek the water there was a step forward. The name Walk- in-theWater, however, being so long, was not generally used. Being the only boat of her class on Lake Erie, where she plied regularly, the new vessel was usu- ally designated as "The Steamboat." This historic vessel, whieh well earned the title of pioneer steamboat on the great lakes, was built early in 1818 at the mouth of Scajeguaaa Creek, in the village of Black Rock. On her first trip, says Cassier's Magazine, the Walk -in - the -Water .stoppea at Dunkirk. and Erie, and arrived off Cleveland about noon the followiug day. "On. August 24, 1818," says an eye- witness, "an entire novelty—the like of which not ono in five hundred of the in- habitants had ever seen—presented it- self before the people of Cuyahoga Coun- ty. On that day the residents along the lake shore of Euclicl saw upon the lake a curious kind of vessel makitmg what Was considered very rapid progress west- ward without the aid of sails, while from a pipe near its middle rolled forth a dark cloud of smoke, whieh trailed its gloomy lenth far into the rear of the swift glid- ing, mysterioas traveller over the deep. "They watched its westward. course until it turned its prow toward the har- bor of Cleveland and then returned to their labors. Many of them doubtless knew what it was, but some shook their heads in and surmiee ae to whether some evil powers were not at work in produe- ing such a strange phenomenon as that on the- bosom of their beloved Lake Erie. eh • ' Aek for Minard's and take no Other.
