How TO Grow TH1N.-A gentleman named
J. W. Towner, of Putnam County, New
York, has become disciple of Banting, the
English gentleman who some time ago un-
dertook to govern to size and weight by diet,
and met with great success. The expert
ment has been tried by number of people
who were afflicted with obesity, and gener-
ally with gratifying results. Mr.. Towner
says that he commenced operations about a
year ago, and during that time has reduced
his weight from three hundred pounds to two
hundred--and fourteen pounds, and is still
getting lighter. He says be had seen state
ments in the papers that eating nothing but
meat would reduce persons flesh. At first
he thought it a humbug, but then the
thought occurred to him that all animals
which eat nothing but flesh were full of mus
Gle, and not meat he determined to try it.
The result was as stated above. lie COM
menced his diet by rejecting bread, butter,
cheese, potatoes, milk, tea coffee, sugar, etc.,
in short, everything that has sugar and
starch, and ate all. kinds of flesh, fish, and
fowl that the family made use of; alsofsuch
fruits and vegetables as were without starch.
He says his health and strength are very
much improved also, that after he had got
settled on his diet he has never been hungry
as ne used to be, with a gnawing sensation
at the stomach and his food always rel
ishes.

DEsPERADO ARRESTED BY WOgAN.-A
horse thief from Susanville lately escaped to
Sierra Valley where he was traced by Sheriff
Byers, of Plumas county, who, on coming to
the summit, gave his revolver to another per-
son, who was expected to make the arrest.
Going soon after to the house of Robt. Ross,
he there found his customer leisurely waiting
for dinner which he had ordered and Mrs
Ross was preparing. Though unarmed, By
ers informed the horse thief that he had
warrant and would require his attention for
a brief space of time. The villain instantly
drew his revolver to assume the offensive.
At this juncture, Mrs. Ross, who was stand
ing near the villain, seized hold of his pistol.
The Sheriff pitched in and got possession of
the pistol with which he knocked the ruffian
down. He then drew large knife. when
Byers fred at his arm, but missed. He then
theatened deadly shot if the rufian would
not instantly yield. Discretion got the better
Of valor, and thowing the knife aside, the
scoundrel gave up, calling the Sheriff a Cow
ardly s--bh to take advantage of man
when be was down"
Mrs. Ross is entitled to the credit of this
arrest. She was brave as lion and took
part in the capture till the prisoner was
finally handeuffed and taken away.-Aoun-

Mcdowell ON SHERMAN.-At the reunion
of Alumni. in the College Of California, at
Oakland, last Tuesday, toast given to the
ArrnvD brought Gen. Mcdowell to his feet
After few jocose Introductory remarks, he
spoke Of the great army Of the United States
. Black and White, y and said it had proved
itself the greatest army Of ancient or modern
times-greatest not only in number, but in
the greatness Of the work it had been called
on to do. He spoke of the difficulties attend
ing the Government at the opening of the
war few of the men at the head Of civil
affairs knew the military men Of the ration,
or were known by them which from his own
experience be knew to have been highly EN-
barrassing and injurious to the service.
The ignorance and inexperienc of officers.
too, was so great that even Gen. Sherman
hesitated to take command Of a regiment.
lie had since that time attracted the admlra-
ton of the world; and although he could not
make barcain. vet no more loyal or deserv-
ing man ever lived in this country. lie
could notforbear TO say thus much IN favor
Of Sherman. since people were inclined to
forpet his merits in view of the fact that be
forGot or failed to do what was expected OF
him at the close. The Army of the United
States did not inaugurate this rebellion, but
the army put it down. 1t was well to bear
this always in mind in view of the frequent
" expressed fear that the military arm Of
the Government was dangerous to the liber-
ties of the people. 1t had been said that
slavery was the rock on which our Govern
ment would split. Well, we had at last
struck the rock, but it was the rock that
split and not the Government. The rock
was not only split but ground into pow

IT is a eurions thing that among the Rus.
SLAMS the father and mother of an infant not
only cannot stand as sponsors to it. but thew
are not allowed to be present at its baptism.
The godfather AND godmother, by answering
for the child, become related to it and 10
each other, and a lady and gentleman who
have stood as sponsors to the same child are
not allowed to marry each other. In christ
ening the priest takes the child. which is
quite naked, and holding it bv the head 50
that his thumb and finger stop the orifices Of
the ears, he dips it thrice into the water; he
cuts off a portion of the hair. which he twists
up with little wax from the taper. and
throws it into the font; then, amounting the
baby's breast, hands. and feet with the holy
oil, and making the sign of the cross with
the same on the forehead, he concludes by a
PRAYER and henediction.

Ethnology of Weddings

1t is very odd that the uniform object OF
weddings should be 50 variably introduced.
Ceremonies are as different as duck teath-
ers. In Canada everybody kisses the bride
on Christmas in the absence of her husband.
In Pennsylvania. among the red rooted
barns of the Dutch, the process Of bund-
ling" is still carried on. A young man,
obtaining the parents consent 10 his nup,,
tials with the daughter, makes a practicai
test of his choice under their own root. II ne
is pleased, as ne must be after such open
display Of confidence, the banns are publish
ed, and they continue to s. bundle" at lels-
ure.
Of late years, the Dutch doubt the policy
of . bundlins,' as the young men have a
fashion of running away after the appllca-
ton of the test and forgetting to marry the
young woman. Our advice to the latter is,
never to "bundle." First cover yourself
with the bright @gis of a marriage certifi-
cate! In parts OF New England and New
Brunswick the lovers go sleighing under the
promise of marriage, and forget to return till
morning. The--recreation is called "tarry-
ing" IL is first cousin to 3" bundling."
Among the strict Bethlehemite;. .Moravians,
the brothers and sisters are married in rota-
ton, not according to choice. the names
being read out of book, so that rosy
young fellow may get slab-sided "rip"
for whom he can have no love whatever
This is done to interdict the passions and
make matrimony Platonie arrangement.
Rather than draw in such lottery, we
would favor 81 bundling" at once The
Shawnee boys play upon reed near the Will
age to seduce the young women into the
woods. If the latter come, the ceremony is
finished, and the lucky boy is big Indian
The Knapoos are even less formal The red
skinned lover enters his mistress wigwam
and lights a pipe. If she puts it out, he
STAYS until daybreak and is Benedict; if
not. he goes away disconsolate. The great
est Incidence on record is that of the Moxes
Indian, who are allowed by law to keep two
wives. but who dread the labor of support
ing them, and stop with only one; the HUI
rons. on the contrary, marrying young girl,
marry all her sisters. The Dog-ribbed In
dians. of British America, when young
woman is courted by several men, put snow
shoes upon her, give her start, and the
suitors follow her with all their speed. The
beautiful woman, Opanwee, was run down
by a chief with seven wives, and conveyed to
his wigwam. She stabbed herself because
she loved another. The Chamose lover
must seek his bride in wigwam filled with
woman, and bear her off despite their at
tempts to scratch his face this is the way
with many marriage in Manhattan. fhe
