There was a qaiet wedding at the

contracting parties being. Mr. Joseph,
Hinkle, of Prineville, and Miss Mahan,

Prineville yesterday afternoon, the lady
coming from Portland. At 7 o'clock in
the presence of a few friends, the couple
stood ud facinz his honor. Judge Brad-
shaw, who in a few sentences made them
man and wife. After the congratula
tions were over, Col. Sinnott suddenly
made his appearance.' "My friends"
said he, "It has been the custom tor
many years that the eonior member of
this firm start all couples married in this
house on there wedding journey with a
proper and becoming salute to the bride.
For years Major Handley took upon
himself this pleasurable duty, and before
his death cautioned me to to .not let the
custom fall into disuse. Therefore I am
here tonight," and so saying the Col.
gently placed bis arm around the bride's
waist and gave the salute in a manner
that indicated a thorough understanding
of tne Mary Anderson style of oeculation.

It Won't Go.
'Uncle Tom's Cabin" will be put on
the boards at the Vogt tonight, and it
will probably be the best presentation
of that old, but always'good, play ever
seen here. The company Is first-class,
carries its own scenery, and has every
thing necessary to a realistic presenta
tion of this thrilling play The street
parade was fine and the music by the
band good. In' the parade was the cha
riot with little Eva, and Uncle Tom in
his own cart drawn by a big black ox.
Following these were a lot of big blood
hounds in leasb. The curtain will go up
promptly at 8 e'clock, and those not in
their seats at that time will miss part of
the play, besides annoying others.

Our suggestion yesterday that we
would publish ttie list of marriageable
young ladies, after New Years, has met
with hearty response ; eo hearty that we
have dropped the idea like a hot potato,
have written our obituary and bung it
up where it is handy, and now wait with j
that calmness born of despair, the worst.
Our mail is overflowing with protests,
letters breathing war, pestilence, famine,'
vengeance, and all the ills of the seven
vials of wrath of the Apocalypse. ' -Of
them we append a sample: .

you were a fool, but never credited you
with utter imbecility. . Publish my
name in that list, and prepare to meet

We withhold the name, but we assure
the young lady that her name will not
go on the list. " Not even in the bargain
counter or clearance salej for the fellow
that gets her will get a prize that is not
tongue-tied, and that can advertise
itself. Here is another sample, : '
Thk Dalles, Dec. 31.
Editor Chronicle : I see by the last
issue of your valuable paper that you are
contemplating the publishing of the
names of the marriageable young ladies
left over after this leap year. I sincere
ly hope you will not do so. I should eo
dislike to be taken to someone a manly
heart with the suggestion always in my
mind that it was pity, and not love,
that caused said someone to select me.
I am 26, fair, brown hair, gray eyes, of a
tender and lovable disposition ; can play
the' Diano and washboard with equal
facility ; can broil a beefsteak or dance a
waltz, both in time and tnne. That I
am left over is probably my own fault,
for I am painfully bashful, but I assure
yoa I baye a heart that sometimes tests
the strength of my. Ahem ! corset steels.

The Vogt opera house was-filled last
night with the wealth and beauty of
The Dalles, to hear the celebrated vocal
ist. Ellen Beach Yaw. By 8 o'clock
nearly everyone waB seated, but few
straggling after the cuAain lose. Miss
Yaw's appearance was tLe signal for a
storm of applause, which was doubled
and trebbled when her first number was
I completed. There has been much said
of her voice, but all nas not oeen eaiu
because the English language is poverty
stricken in its adverbs, when the de
mand on this subject is made upon it.
There is no comment to make, no praise
to give. We can only say, go and hear
and realize the liquid beauties of that
honey-flowing voice, and then tell if you
can. Miss i.ay as piauioi. nao uw,
and Mr: Dick as a violinist, was superb,
bnt everything was lost, drowned and
swallowed up in the desire to listen to
that magic voice. Miss Yaw was kind,
indeed, responding to every encore, and
gave the old melodies, "Comm' Thro'
the Rye" and "The Last Rose of Sum
mer,'.' in a manner that few of ua ver
ex nee t to hear eoualed. Misa Yaw left
a whole community here ber friends,
and should she ever again visit The
Dalles, there" is no hall large enough to
hold the audience that would greet her.
