Marriage IN Russia.

When the bridegroom is presented the
whole house rs in confusion; all the rela-
tions, friends and neighbors on both sides
are invited to the house of the bride. When
all the expected company are assem- bled,
the matchmaker comes in leading the
bridegroom by the hand, and going straight
to the head of the house, presents him. The
brides father then leads the young man to
table covered with white cloth; on the
table is a silver Salver with loaf of bread
on it, and on the bread salt cellar with
salt. Two rings, one Of gold, the other of
silver, are placed on small silver tray be-
fore golden image of the Virgin Mary
holding the child Jesus in her arms. With
this image they bless the future couple
All the company stand; the mother holds
the bride, completely dressed in white, by
the hand, surrounded by all her dearest
friends and companions. All bow before
the image. The father takes the image,
the mother the bread and salt; the young
couple then kneel under the image, and
are first blessed by the father; the lat
ter then takes the bread and salt from
the hands of the mother and gives her the
image, and the same ceremony is repeated.
After this the father and mother of the
bridegroom do the like. Then comes the
giving of the rings; the brides father gives
the golden ring to the bridegroom, the sill
yer one to the bride. They are now affi-
anced to each other, and give each other
the first kiss. When the ceremony is over,
the company enjoy themselves; they chat,
laugh, eat and drink, and separate, after
having fixed the day for the marriage.
During the interval between this ceremo.
ny and the marriage the bridegroom spends
all his evenings with the bride, often tete-
a-tete. The marriage ceremony follows.
1t is also called the coronation, because,
during the ceremony, q crown is placed
on the heads of the affianced. Then
the priest offers them a cup of wine, of
which they both drink, as q sign of the
union they have contracted. A solemn
procession is led by the officiating priest,
the bride and bridegroom following
round the desk placed in the centre of the
church, upon which is laid the Bible. This
is meant to represent the joys which await
them, and the eternity of these ties. Dur
ing the public celebration of the marriage
the rings worn by the young people are ex-
changed; the husband now wearing the
silver one the bride the golden. From the
church all the company are invited to go to
the house of the bridegrooms father. A
week after they return to church, when the
priest lifts the crown from their heads.
This is the final conservation of the mar
rage

Corn FODDER CONDENINED.-At q recen
meeting Of the milk producers of Eastern
Massachusetts, one gentleman physician is
reported in the New England Farmer as
speaking as follows on the summer food for
COWS: Daring a part of the season some
thing more than pasture is needed. Pas.
turing is usually very good from May to
October, when other feed is required. The
doctor said he knew that there were those
present who expected he would condemn
fodder corn, and they would not be disap-
pointed. He did not believe in it. But farm
ers must not begin to feed out their hay as
soon as they getit into their barns, nor can
they afford to feed meal or potatoes. The
first thing used generally is corn fodder,
rye and millet. He was strongly opposed
to corr fodder. The very condition of it
when used showed that it was unfit for pro-
ducing milk. It was full of juice, and so
are sour apples, but they will not increase
the flow of milk. To produce milk, food
is required that will nourish the system and
excite the lacteal functions. Corn fodder
will not do this; it acts merely as an irri-
tant on the stomach and bowels of cows
It would be like nan sitting down to a
diet of cathartic pills. Hogs won't eat fod-
der corn, it is so indigestible. The doctor
| thus referred to the excitement in regard
to the sorghum a few years ago, which he
pronounced humbug. The doctor said
| he had raised millet with great success
One acre will raise enough to keep twelve
COWS during the season for soilipg. 1t is
nutritious, and is more like herds grass
| than anything else"

A Remarkable Western Character.

The Elko Independent thus refers to q
noted female celebrity in that vicinity:
The town of Carlin is the home of Susie
Raper, the famous Lady Gay Spanker and
female buccancer of the sagebrush. Every
now and then the citizens of that place are
treated to little fun by the fair damsel =
Susie has no superior in boldness, dash
and intrigue, if any equals. No yellow
covered book ever pictured her equal, if all
accounts are true. Susie is as gay and fes-
tive as any female troubadour who ever
trod the mountains under the blue sky of
Italy. Possessing a natural and graceful
appearance, a keen eye, quick intellect, q
tongue that swings on a pivot, she can
make up to represent any character, and
has ability enough to execute any deep laid
scheme. Mazeppa chief of gang of land
pirates, she boasts of her power to com
mand, at moments warning, their assis-
tance to execute her wishes, however un-
lawful or diabolical they may be.
The experience of the dungeon taught
her no lesson, as it was hoped it would
have done by her lovers. On Friday last
a valuable race-horse of hers, named Hum
bolt, was attached by Constable Brophy to
satisfy butchers bill, at Mineral Hill, and
brought to Carlin without her knowledge.
On learning the fact she went to the stable
where the horse was kept, and coaxed the
groomsman to allow her to lead him into
the yard to see if the animal would recoq.
nize her. No sooner was she out than she
sprang astride Humboldt and started for
another stable, claiming possession and
threatening the officers with distructi N if
they attempted to retake the horse She
was finally captured, after a liberal exhlbi-
ton of her well-moulded extremities to the
greedy street gazers, in her Menken ride
through the town. The horse was placed
Ill secure position, and Susie left with
curses on her lins

How a Battle is Fought.

How battle is fought? With tremen-
dous Tolleys, the ranks standing firm and
steady as on dress parade-with enthus-
iasm, with deafening cheers with music,
and finished by glorious bayonet charge?
Nothing of the kind. Here are simply some
thousands of men, on either side, who have
been marched out this pleasant day to
butcher each other. Modern fire arms are
horribly effective weapons-a good SPRING
field musket will kill at thousand Yards
and by the time you have drawn these op-
posing forces to within two hundred yards
of each other, or about the distance across
a good sized wheat field, the battle is re-
solved into a simple problem-which army
can stand the most killing or wounding
without breaking up? When that question
is answered, you can tell which side will be
victorious. The business of the officers is
to hold the men to work-to compel them
to load and fire until SO many of the enemy
are put hOrs du combat that he is forced to
withdraw.
Take your regiment into battle as order
ly as you may, before it has been under fire
half an hour it will become resolved into
knots and groups, from the drawing togeth-
er to fill the places of those stricken down,
and the survivors will be lying orkneeling,
forced down by the irresistible instinct of
self-preservation. The sights and sounds
of battle are well nigh indescribable.-
Noise, tumult, danger, excitement, all blend
to make scene which think can haveno
parallel on the hither side of the internal
regions. During his first battle perhaps
the novelty of the thing may fill the recruit
with genuine enthusiasm and put fear in
the background; but after that he will find
the poetry of the battle field somewhat
overdone in "Hohenlinden," and fighting
itself rather aprosaic and dangerous butch
cry.
There is nothing less like pageant, I
verify believe, thana battle. The arms are
not polished and shiny now, for the dew of
last nights bivouac in the grass has tarnish-
ed them; very plain blouses have taken the
place of straight bodied, corsety coats
belts are loosened, or in the fury of the
fight are thrown aside altogether; shoulder
straps and epaulets are discarded, out of
wholesome regard for the enemys sharp
shooters; ana after the fight has progress
ed an hour, you will find those who are
still fighting dirty, grimy, and laboring to
kill the enemy with about as hard manual
labor as your wood sawyer employs on your
wood pile.

MUTUAL VS.. FOREST CITY.-There is but
one way to account for the Mutual victory
yesterday over the pride of Rockford, ILL.,,
the Forest City Club. and that is the su-
perior fielding of the New Workers. From
the outset it was apparent that the Mu-
tuals, if they could keep the Forest City
lads down to in-feld hitting, and do but
half as well as the visitors at the bat them
selves, the game must be recorded in their
favor. This they did in the first respect
from the first, but only awoke to the ne
cessity of doing the second also when half
the game had been played, and then they
were not down to steady hitting until the
seventh inning. The pitcher of tho visiting
club has troublesome delivery, made all
the more so by by peculiar attitude or
pose assumed just previous to the final
swing. 1t is possible that the Mutual
strikers lost at first by their admiration of
his attitude interfering with Judgment of
striking at the ball.-N. 7. Telegram.

The Story of a Spectator.

gentleman left the dry goods business
and came on the street. He brought with
him some money. He became very
daring operator and was the terror of the
street. He was said to be very successful
as well as very bold. His broker was one
OF the heaviest houses III New York. One
day the senior partner of the house said to
the operator, '.Do you know how much
cash we have to your credit ?" The man
replied indiferently: "You have a few
thousands, I suppose" ''There are
$3.50. .O00," the banker said, 'to your
credit on our books. Now let me give
you little piece of advice. Take out
Of this house $780, 900; buy fine house
on Fifth avenue; furnish it complete and
settle it on your wife. Salt down the bal
ance in government securities; take your
wife, go abroad, and get out of the street
for six months. The man could not do
that, for he had gigantic speculations on
hand, and when they were completed he
would think about it. In four months
from that time the operator was penniless,
and is now working coal mine in Penn
sylvania. The mental agony through which
he passed in the short time made him 20
years older FURNISHED the top of his head
like a billiard ball, and sank him out of
sight on the street. This is mere speci-
men of the magnitude and suddenness of
reYerses in Wall street.
