that Western river and lake steamer own
ers had telegraphed last night from WASH

passengers under existing laws which
action will tend very much to embarrass
the passenger trade, but under the circum-
stances owners have no option in the
matter.
Measures are proposed which, it is said,
will in few days go to show that patent
right mon have bought up certain parties
who are opposing the proposed change in
the law, and are using their influences to
coerce members of Congress-.

ABOUT MARRIAGE RINGS. GIVING rino.

ABOUT MARRIAGE RRINGs.-GiviDg rings
IN marriage ceremonies is supposed to
Indicate the eternity of the union, see-
ing that circle is endless. The Jewish
bridegroom puts the ring on the fore
finger of the brides right hand, and this
is the rule in the Greek Church also.
In the Roman and Anglican, the ring is
placed on the fourth finger of the wo-
mans left hand, the origin of which has
been much disputed. Sir Thos. Browne
approPrlates a chapter to this inquiry,
observing:
"An opinion there is, which magnifies
the fourth finger of the left hand, pre-
sunnng therein cardinal relation, that
particular vessel, nerve, vein or srte-
rry, Is conferred thereunto from the
heart, and, therefore, that hath especi-
ally honor to bear our rings" Sir Tho
mas then refers to this practice as com.
mon not only in Christian but heather
nuptinl contracts. Piiny states in the
portraits OF the gods the rings were worn
on the finger next to the thumb; that
the Romans wore them ol the middle
hnger, as the ancient Gauls and Britons,
and some upon the fore.fngers, as is de-
ducible from Julius Pollu1, who names
that ring Corlonas. Since, therefore,
the practice differs in various countries,
we can scarcely refer it to any natural
cause which would alike affect all. Sir
Thomas next examines the anatomical
details of nerve, vein and artery; adding
that inspection does not confirm par.
tlcular vessel in his finger" and that
"propagations being communicated unto
both hands, we have no greater reason
to wear our rings on the left than on the
right" The Laram Manual, as old as
1905, says: "The ring should be so
placed, because in this medicine finger
is certain vein which goes directly to
the heart"
Among the Jews there sometimes was
an exchange of rings, the bride first Civ
ing plain ring OF silver, and receiving
back o ring of gold. The difference Of
metal was understood to symbolic an
acknowledgment of inequality on the
part of the woman.
