Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1871-05-19

In one Of his letters from the East, the
correspondent Of the Cleveland Leader
writes:
Betrothals in China are contracted at
a very early age, and even among init
mate friends it is etiquette that all the
negotiations shall be conducted by a
class ofwomen called "go-betweens," or
match-makers The boys and girls are
supposed to be entirely Indifferent as to
the whole matter. The idea of courtship
or love-letters would be quite shocking
to all right-minded persons. After be-
trothal, which is consummated by an ex-
change Of presents and the making over
of formal document to the parents of
the groom, the engagement is consid-
cred as legal and binding as if the mar
riage had been performed If the boy
should die it is considered the proper
and filial thing for the girl to remain
widow for life, and devote herself to the
care Of her deceased husbands parents
"a custom which our girls at home
would consider particularly hard.
Before the wedding day the bride has
her eyebrows pulled out, which in China
is the distinguishing mark OF married
woman. On the morning of the " lucky
day" chosen for the marriage, the bride
is carried from her own homo to that of
her future husband in great state and
ceremony. With her face closely yelled,
she kneels with her husband before an
altar, and they worship together the
spirit tablets Of the ancestors of the
groom. The parties first see each others
face when the brides veil is removed
and they drink wine out of the same
cup, after the wedding day spent in
feasting, congratulations, and general
hilarity by their mutual friends and re-
lations. If not entirely satisfied with
the choice in which they have had no
part, it is certainly too late to repent,
and they have only to make the best of
itp-a conclusion which the sensible in
other lands sometimes arrive at when
they have entered into the marriage re-
lation with eyes wide open, as they sup
pose, but in reality closely bandaged by
that blind little imp and matchmaker,
Cupid.

The Barbers' Itch.

The London Medical Press has an ar
ticle on the BARRIERS itch, so-called,
which contains the following startling
statement, with appropriate suggestions:
Recently we have professionally seen
two of the worst cases Of Sycosis Con-
tagiosum, which have ever come under
our notice Both patients were shaved by
the same razor as that used-for the bar
Der acknowledged his fault-in shaving
"a man with bad chin. In one patient
the yellowish scales have extended to the
upper lip and sides Of the face covered
by hair. The vegetable nature of the
disease, and the rapidity with which the
seeds are transmitted from part to part,
until the cryptogamic plant surrounds
every hair follicle, is only too well known
for repetition here.
Our chief object in directing public
attention to a most serious matter is,
that BARRIERS will learn, through us, to
be more careful in indiscriminate shaw
ing, and that the public seeking their
aid will, for their own sake, insist upon
what we hope will now become a univer-
sal practice in the barber-shop-namely,
the razor to be immersed in some warm
water before being applied to the face.
This is pretty sure TO destroy a vegetable
organism, should any exist, on the in
strument.
Those who have suffered from Sgocis
CdRtagiOsUm, and the physician who
has had experience in the treatment OF
it, alone know the protracted nature of
most unsightly complaint in yielding
to treatment, and the value of the hint
we offer in the simple immersion of the
razor in warm water, and then wiped
before use. Indeed, in the filthy barber
shops of our great towns, diseases Of
more kinds than SycOsis are propagated;
but with that we do not purpose enter
ing upon now. Our simple desire being
to record a painful occurrence with
which we have recently meta faithful
confederation Of the testimony Of Gustav
Simon, of Grundy, Of Vienna, and Of the
experiments made by Loville, who noted
over and over again the transmission BY
contagion of syeosis from the use Of a
razor employed in shaving an affected
person.

The Beautiful Girl.

The most beautiful girl in the United
States lives in Athens. Her hair is OF
that peculiar hue that a field of ripe
wheat throws toward the setting sun
Her eyes send forth light so eaulgent
and magnetic that strangers become
spell bound under its influence and
stand rudely gazing Her cheeks bear a
bloom like the sunny side Of an early
peach. A pearl would seem almost too
