On Tuesday evening after all the business pertaining to a regular month ly meeting had been finished by the Lafayette Guards one of the members stepped forward and handed the Presi dent a small package, stating that It was a present from Mr. John Buddy, of No.. 3, West Fifth street, this city. This of course, immediately startled the curiosity of the curiouB to know what this miaute and odd looking package contained. Alter a few preliminary remarks, during which the President, Mr. Gentieu, stated that the Guards had been the recipients of a present at the bauds of Mr. Boddy, he proceeded to nnfold the package, which by this time bad grown to a prodigious wonder. Having unfolded tho package he held np a white satin badge encased in a black satin border. Upon investigation it proved to be somewhat of a relic,as it was a badge which was worn in Phila delphia, on the 21st of July 1834, the day upon which the funeral obsequies were performed to tho memory of Gen. Gilbert Mottier Lafayette, who died May 20th, same year, and whose bust the badge contains. The Guards were much pleased with the present and cheerfnlly acknowl edged its receipt by tendering Mr.Bod dy a vote of thanks. They will in a short time have it handsomely framed, bearing an inscrip tion stating for what used and by whom presented,and hung np iu their armory. Hon. Blester Clyiner's Wedding. A dispatch from St. Louis to the Chi cago "Times," dated 2tith, says : The marriage of Congressman Hiester Cly mer to Mrs. Mimivon Schrader Clemens, widow of the late James Clemens, took place this afternoon. The ceremony was performed according to the ritual the Roman Catholic Cuurch, by Rev. Father Brantner, at the residence of the bride's mother, the widow of the late Baron von Schrader on Garrison avenue. Only the immediate relatives witnessed and in every respect it was a very simple affair. There were no brides maids, bnt Mr. Clymer was attended by Mr. Milikeu. The bride wore a ooetly pearl silk dress. Those present were members of the Von Sohrader and Clemens families, Mr. E. M. Clymer, of Reading, and Mr. and Mrs. George Brooke and Mrs. Edward Brooke, of Birdsboro, Pa. The ceremony took place at 3 p. m. At 5 p. m. a recep tion was given, at which the first fami lies of St. Lonis were represented. At 6.50 Mr. and Mrs. Clymer left by the Vaudalla road for the east, There will be a ehort tour, and then Mr. Clymer will resume his duties in Washington.

Thai I* what th* till me as arc Like ly ta bC'Coaaldcrlair the War the ■•bool elecdoa Weal la House of the Ward* on Satardar — The vole la Detail — The BaceoMlal Candidates. The sohool eleotlon on Saturday was full of surprises. The first surprise came when the polls opened,and candi dates not mentioned before appeared in the Third and Fourth wards. The others oame about when the ballots were counted and the result announ ced. The latter surprises are very un pleasant to all good citizens, as in sev eral instances the unfitnesB of the men elected is acknowledged by all. TUE WARD CONTEST. In the IIret Ward Messrs. Kyne aad Palmer worked very hard for their election, while Messrs. Hallam and Brick aoted on the principle that If they west to the Board of Education they desired to be sent by the people and not by themselves. The result was that the efforts of the first named were successful, and they were elected by a large majority, swelled of course by Individual exertion. The contest In the Second Ward was between Mr. P. U. Furry and John R. Marr, the latter having come ont unex peotedly. The best of feeling prevailed and the remit was Mr. Furry's re elec tion by twenty-eight majority. An nnexpected opponent to Mr. Lind ley C. Kent arose in the Third Ward in the forenoon, when Mr. J. P. Theodore Fuekel constituted himself a Democrat ic candidate and entered the field to the surprise of many in the Ward. Mr. Fuekel's Democratic friends rallied to his support and gave him a hundred votes to Mr. Kent's eighty-Beven. In the Fourth Ward there was anoth er surprise In the csndidscy. The people were so well pleased with Mr. William J. Morrow that no oandidate was put up against him. Squire Brady quietly stepped into the arena and was elected before any one knew it. Dr. Grimshaw had no opponent In the Fifth Ward,and of the ninety-three votes cast ninety-two were for him. It had been expected in the Fifth Ward that Mr. Jacob Jusey would be the only candidate, but Dr. W. F. Quinby said that It was the duty of every citizen to respond to the demands of his fellow-men, and consented to be ing voted for. Mr. Pusey received two thirds of the votes polled, and was elected. The Eighth Ward Democrats elected Mr. Bennett Hez'ett, here the contest was qnlte close. The election called eat a full vote for the Eighth Ward at the sohool eleotiou. In the Ninth Ward, although dU oouraged by fellow-Democrats, Consta ble John Brooks insisted on being a oandidate and elected himself over H. P. Grnbb by two majority. The Democrats contested in the Tenth Ward. Mr. H. E. Lannan,of the Board of Health, and Mr. H. S. Jacobus being candidates for the two and one year terms respectively. They were elected wlthont opposition. to 2; 1; 1; 6; 3; 40 2; THE VOTE BY WARD3. The following Is the vote by Wards: First Ward—Lather W. Palmer, tw e years, 142 ; Isaac W. Hallam, 56 ; Pal mer's majority, 86 , William Kyne, one year,147; William F. Brick.54 ; Kyne's majority, 93. Second Ward—P. U. Furry,59 ; John R. Marr, 31. Fnrry's majority,28. Third Ward—J. P.

Jacobus, two years, 47; no opposition ; Heneton IS. Lannan, one year, 46: Walter D. Bush, 91. 1. brady's coup d'exat. A peculiar thing in the Fourth ward contest was the oandldacy of Squire Brady. It was not known that he waa being voted for until the ballot box dosed, and Mr. Morrow was confident of his election until the votes were oounted. Squire Brady was judge of the election. Some people say that the Squire nominated himself at a meeting held in his office last Monday night. He denies this, and says he did not know he was being voted for until the election had been going on lor some time. The true state of affairs appears be that the whole thing was done by few drunkea Democrats who took this oourse to punish Mr. Morrow for havirg voted for Frank A. Taylor for Clerk some time ago. Squire Brady says he will resign at the meeting to-night In Mr. Morrow's favor. at of POLITICS, AC. The political oomplexion of the Board will be deoidedly Democratic. will stand 13 Democrats to 2 Repub licans, as follows: Domoorats—Lnther W. Palmer, William KyHe, Peter U. Furry, B. R.

Theodore Fuakei, (pronounced Fickle) is a music teacher and keeps a small corner grocery at Fifth and Mon roe streets. He is a Herman and sings with the Millard olub. Wm. H. Brady Is Justice of the Peace and a red-hot Democrat. Many people will be glad of his intention to resign, but he might make a good member. Dr. Grimshaw Is well-known. He will continue In the Board and make things lively as In the past. Jacob Pnsey Is one of onr well-known oitizens, and is well qualified for the position. W. W. Lobdell is a member of the Lobdell Car Wheel Company. He is an Intelligent yonng man, and lias al ready served in the Sohool Board with credit.

Jacobus is an intelligent silver plater, and works for the Kent Iron & Hardware Company. H. E. Lannan is a merchant, and a .member of the Board of Health. WHAT THE PEOFLB THINK.

The funeral of Joseph Teas, yester day afternoon, from his late residence No, 414 K Fourth street, the largest that has ever occuried in this city. Many old and well known citizens called during the day to take a farewell glance of their beloved friend. The deoeased was-attired in black and reclined in a beautiful satin-lined, donble-oombination rosewood casket which was furnished by Thomas Giles, undertaker. Tliero were six large sil ver handles, which were exquisitely wrought and which had inscribed upon them several Masonic emblems. Upon the lid of the casket was a silver plate, bearing the dates of the birth and death of the deoeased. The floral tributes were very beauti ful. Placed j ust beyond the head of the casket was a large pillow, having the word "llest" lettered thereon. Above this was a combined cross and anchor, the gifts of the Joseph Teas Company. JuBt below the hands of the deceased was a floral square and com pass, in the centre of which was the letter "C," the gifts of his fellow mem bers of Corinthian Lodge, No. 20, A. F. A. M. At his feet was a oross, a tribute of respect from his family. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. H. Caldwell, D. D. He spoke of the heart rendlugs wblch are caused by death and referred to the Christian's hope. He alluded to the life of the deceased and said that while he believed Christ would aeoept a sin ner when upon his death bed, yet it is better to become a Christian earlier. Rev. A. T. Hwtt also made a few re marks. Several hymns were sung by the Asbury M. E. church ohoir.
