ABOUT MARRIAGE R1NGs.-Giving rings in
marriage ceremonies is supposed to indicate
the eternity of the union, seeing that a circle
is endless. The Jewish bridegroom puts the
ring on the fore6nger 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 woman's left hand,
the origin of which has been much disputed.
Sir Thomas Browne appropriates chapter t! to
this inquiry, observing. can opinion there is
which magnifes the fourth finger of the left
hand presuming therein cardinal relation,
that particular vessel, nerve, vein or artery,
is conferred thereunto from the heart and,
therefore, that hath especially honor to bear
our rings" Sir Thomas then refers to this
practice as common not only in Christian, but
heather nuptial contracts. Pliny states In the
portraits of the gods, the rings were worn on
the finger next to the thumb; that the Romans
wore them on the middle finger, as the ancient
Gauls and Britons, and some upon the fore
fingers as is deducible from Julius P0lluX, 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 exam
ines the anatomical details of nerve, vein and
artery: adding that inspection does not con
firm particular vessel in his finger" and that
"proparations being communicated unto both
hands, we have no greater, reason to wear We our
rings the left than on the right aThs The La
should be 50 placed because n in sd dqscc ne
the heart"
Among the Jews, there sometimes was an
exchange of rings, the bride first giving plain
ring of silver, and receiving back ring of
gold. The difference of metal was understood
to symbolic an acknowledgment Of inequality
on the part of the woman.

Death Of Prominent and Widely

The decease of DR.. c. l.. &c Grafen-

by the journals of that city. A brief
sketch of bis life and services will in
terest our readers Who knew him per-
sonally or by reputation.
Doctor de G. was born in Lunen-
burg, Va, in 1898, and always re-
called with pride his birth in the "Oid
Dominion" He was connected by
marriage with General Kirkland, late
Confederate States Army Chief JUS
tice Ruffin, and Senator strange, of
North Carolina, and was . linesl des-
cendant from the wealthy Baron de
Graffenried, of Berne, Switzerland.
He practiced his profession with
success in Greensboro, Ga, and while
there was commissioned by General
Forsyth to lay out the town of Colum-
bus in 1927, since which time he re-
mained in that city. His medical
skill was literally devoted to arresting
the ravages of small pox among the
Musccgee Indians-tben living near
Columbus. His claim for expenses in

His acknowledged skill as a physi-

mark in the community, and the an
nouncement of his death will be re-
gretted by all.

How Girls May be Healthy.

Let a girl during the years from
twelve to eighteen spend but one
hour daily in mental labor, taking
up one study at time, walk another
hour, labor at some agreeable employ
ment three or four hours, read an
hour, sleep all she wants during the
night, but never take daytime maps"
eat plain and nourishing food, mostly
bread and boiled beef, and every day
indulge in all the fun and frOlic
which her youthful spirits can devise,
and she will become healthy, happy
and intelligent. Then from eigh-
teen to twenty-one, she may attend
college, and will find herself better
able to carry offprizes than the girls
who have been always at school.
But she will not have developed wiry,
muscular strength equal to the young
men Of her own age, because nature
has forbidden it. A girl is provided
from birth with more adfpose tissue
than q boy, not as some suppose, to
keep her warm, but to render her
muscles more Juicy, soft and yielding
than his. The Investigations of some
anatomists have also proved that
her body contains q much greater
number of nerves and that her arter-
isl system on approaching woman
hood becomes more largely develop
ed than his. I, therefore, cannot at
all agree with the writer who says,
1--WE see no way out of this difficulty
but to commence with the cradle,
and educate girls as nearly like boys

Oar Hebrew FellOw.Citizens.

The Jewish Times has the follow
ing on the influence of Jews in our
politics:
The Jews of Europe have. ever
since the July revolution of 1889,
taken an active, yea, prominent part
in the political affairs of their re-
spective countries. Inspired by the
illustrious coreligionists, Borne and
Heiue, who stamped their genius
upon all the avenues leading to the
arts, sciences and literature, and ad-
vocated through the press and from
the rostrum and pulpit the cause OF
freedom, progress and humanity.
Without exaggeration or the slight
est fear of contradiction, we may as
sert that the Jews of Germany, IN
proportion to their numbers, dis
play by far the largest amount of
literary talent and political influence,
and that much of her greatness and
glory is owing to her Jewish chill
dren. Why is it then the Jews of
America are so far behind their Eu-
ropean brethren in political infu-
ence? Is it because the Jewish mind
of this country is sterile and barren,
inferior and degenerated? By no
means. The talent and genius peculiar
to the race which no vicissitudes and
adversaries have Deen able to destroy
are as much natural inheritance OF
the American as the European. The
only obstacle in their full scope and
development are Indifference, apa-
thy, material conception of life,
and that lack of spiritual and ideal
aspiration which prevents the mind
from looking above and beyond its
narrow home circle. The republic,
more than any other form of govern
ment, demands of each citizen a
faithful and constant attention to
political duties; the best institutions
will decay under neglect, and if left
to the management of the uncultured
and immoral, while the activity and
vigilance of the good and honest
alone will preserve them in tact.
The jews owe large debt of graft
tude TO the country, and they can re-
pay it in no better way than coop
Grating with their Christian fellow
citizens in all measures calculated to
render it truly great and honored.
Now that reform is the order of the
day, and the battle cry reberberating
throughout the length and breadth
of the land !; now that change for
the better is being vouchsafed to us
in the administration of public af-
fairs, the Israelites, too, should aban-
doh their Indifference to politics, and
embrace the opportunity of making
themselves heard and felt for the
sake of good government and for the
sake of their own influence.

Dwarf Pear Trees.

The testimony of Southern growers
seems to be uniformly in their favor,
notwithstanding the efforts of some
writers to run them down and pro-
nounce them q failure. Sagacious
cultivators, however, plant the trees
low, so that the union of pear and
ounce stocks shall bea couple of inch
es below the surface of the ground.
In this way they all in time take root
from the pear stock, and become vir-
tually permanent standard trees.
Their growth then becomes stronger
and more thrifty, and uniformly
growing more productive yearly.
Their advantage over large standard
trees is that they make an early
growth and quick fruiting, throwing
the tree almost into immediate bear
ing. The following varieties have all
done well on the ounce stocks in the
Middle and Southern SAtes: Ouch

Jersey, Vicar of Wakefield, Beurre

they baye since learned better what

gestion from Mr.. Colfax more than
six years ago, Young said that he

which has at last brought with it

APPLEs.-We do not use apples
enough in our families. Baked sweet
apples should be on our tables every
day. Some prefer sour apples. We
should use them in pies, tarts, pud-

some way every day. They are more
healthy than wheat and pork.

Corrupt ng the Ballot.

No greater crime can be committed
against popular government than by
corruptins the elective franchise. Up
on the freedom and purity of popular
suffrage, depends the maintainance of
popular liberty. Without this, there is
no form of political government which
affords less security to life. liberty and
property, than the government of the
people; it ceases to be a government of
law and becomes a government of mob
rule. No intelligent man will dispute
these propositions, while many with
vital interests at stake in the communi-
ty, view with apparent Indifference, if
not with approval, a system of huckter-
ing with votes which is breaking up the
foundation of our political system.
Here it is scarcely disguised that the
Governor of the Territory, sworn upon
the Holy Evangelists to see the laws
faithfully executed, enters into the mar
ket, to buy votes TO defeat the popular
will and perpetuate the rule Of ring
which subordinates the public interests
to personal considerations. This is
falon act, and if the laws were faithful
" executed, would consign its perpetra-
tor to a felon's doom; but in the present
state of popular sentiment, it is only an
evidence of political shrewdness, justi-
fed by party necessities. Two thousand
dollars, it is said and there is no
doubt of its TRUTHS the price which
Gov Ferry agreed to pay for the vote of
a lawless rabble in this city who recog-
nize no laws, human or divine, and
whose votes are calculated to offset an
equal number of the votes of substantial
law-abiding citizens. Every man who
votes with the party who thus prosti-
tutes the sacred franchise, votes to per-
petuate this monstrous system of bar
gain and sale in our elections. 1t is
moral felony which admits of no palia-
ton or excuse. and where this crime
against society is perpetrated by an of
fcer of the Government, it is an out
rage which cannot be tolerated without
surrender of all that political organi-
zation makes valuable as means of
protection or defence.
Every citizen who honestly desires
the well-being Of society and the per-
petuation of our civil institutions, is
morally bound to use all the means
within his power to rebuke and defeat
system of corruption SO fatal in its
consequences to purity in government
Or safety to personal rights.

Reception Of McFadden.

The reception of Judge McFadden in
this city was all hat his most sanguine
friends could anticipate or desire, and
was in marked contrast with the recep-
ton accorded to his competitor few
days before. 1t is not necessary to null
tiply wor S in an extended description
of the incidents of the occasion. 1t is
enough to say, that without any import
ed band of music, or enthusiasm paid
for at so much q shout, he had nothing
to complain of, and the result will be
made manifest next Tuesday.
The reception at Port Blakely was but
a repetition of that at Seattle. The
hearts of the people are in it.

We all know what Mr.. Garfelde prom
ised 10 do and has not done. We know
that he has not during his term of Of
fee, secured to the Territory an appro-
priation for any purpose other than or
dinary expenses, which he admits would
have been passed without any Delegate
there, and these appropriations amount
to much less than to any other Territory
several of which are represented by
Democrats not in accord with the party
in power, and he is the author of no
measure for the general benefit in which
he had not special personal interest.
We know that the last Territorial Leg
1slature memorialized Congress on sever
al matters of deep public interests, and
that he did not present one of those
memorials to Congress. His excuse was
that he was not served with copies
This many know to be positive false
hood; George McConaha, our Represen-
tative in the Legislature, transmitted to
him a certified copy of one of those NE
MORALS and his attention was specially
called to it by many of his anxious con-
stituents and yet he took no notice of it.
We allude to the memorial asking Con-
gress to cede the mud flats Oh Duwam'sh
Bay to the City of Seattle. The people
of this City had deep interest in this
matter, because they had good reason to
believe that if the city had the disposal
of these lands they could make terms
with the Northern Pacific railroad for
terminus at this place, and they had re-
liable assurances upon which this belief
was based. Mr. Garfelde knew how
much was at stake and he hoped, as in
other cases, to force subsidy for his
influence. 1t was wilful neglect of
manifest public duty for a base motive.
Every citizen Of Seattle feels that it was
a most perfiious betrayal of their in
terests, however Mr.. Garfelde may ex-
plain, or attempt to explain it.
We have not the space to pursue this
snbject further at the present time, but
ask every candid man to examine the
record of this mans official acts and let
his conclusions govern his vote on Tues
day next.
