1t is wellkuown, that marriage
here has come to lie looked upon as
a luxury to be indnlgcd in only BY
the Better circlunstanccd. The
larger llumbcr Of servants, walters,
dayla6ores, and others without airy
regular trade, rarely marry at all,
They find it enough to earn 2
decent living themselves Those
who do marry wait until about the
twenty-scventh, year. II he IS 9
merchant, he must wait until his
business is established; if a pro-
fessional man, until he has a good
practice or position. Every class,
as a rule, marrics late, tor that
which is necessary with the poor
has, from its generality, come to bc
regarded as a custom for all.
1t is not customary, as in Amer
lea, for young gentlemen and Ia
dies to associate much together,
since the expenses Of gallantry are
thought beyond their means.
Young men go with young men.
and live in clubs or bachelor bands,
where each one pays his own ex'
penscs, and lives as economically as
lie can. When they seek female
company, which is only now and
then, it is at the public balls OF
places Of amusement. This custom
has become so established that il
works the other way, anil no Young
lady who values l,cr reputation will
allow herself to be, seen alone in
company ofa gentleman before she
is engaged 10 him, and before the
engagement is duly published in
|. the press The formalities of be
throthal are celebrated in the pres.
cnce Of her friends. They much
wonder at the liberty Of American
young ladies in Germany, who al
low tlemselvesto owithany young
gentleman acquaintance whatever
being one evening with one and
the next evening with another.

A Gigantic Railway Car.

Among the mechanical novelties, to be
seen in operation at the Grand Central De-
pot in New York, is a steam railway car
seventy feet wide which travels on a track
of corresponding width.
This great vehicle is made in the form of
low platform car and the track OH which
it runs is provided with four rails, extend
ing from Fourth Avenue to Madison Ave
nue.. The car is used for the lateral trans
fer of passenger cars from the main tracks
Of the Hudson River Harlem, and New
Haven Railways to the various side tracks,
thus avoiding the use of turntables. The
car is propelled by steam, the engine and
boiler being contained within sheet iron
house carried on one side of the machine.
The cars to be transferred are run upon
the great car; steam is then turned on and
the huge machine trots off with its burden
with as much ease as horse draws bug
gy. The machine is supported on eight
wheels, arranged on independent axles.
There are in addition four driving wheels
arranged upon one axle.

Frightened from his Profession.

A young Kentucky physician who had
been regularly educated for his pro fession
was called to the bedside of patient that
he had been attending with his best care for
some time, but who obstinately grew worse
and worse, until his end seemed very near.
" Doctor" said the sick man, 81 am dy-
ing-I am certain am dying, and believe
you have killed me-" The doctor seemed
to think very earnestly for moment or
two Yes, see you are dying; and on
reflection believe you are right believe
that have killed you; but have taken
my oath that if God will forgive me for
having unintentionally murdered you, l will
never murder another-I will never give
another dose of physic, professionally as
long as live." And he kept his oath; he
at once quit medicine, turned his attention
to the study of law, obtained license in due
course, and after few years. successful
practice became one of the most eminent
circuit judges of that day in Kentucky
now nearly forty years ago.

A Shocking Tragedy--Two Boys Murder
their Mother.

One of the most atrocious crimes ever
perpetrated in this country was enacted at
West Point on last Sunday morning. A
mother of seven children was murdered by
her two sons, aged twelve and sixteen
years, at their own home at West Point,
Iowa. The lady, Mrs. Wahrer, had parted
from her husband, DIR. Wahrer, some time
before, and on learning of her husbands
absence from home took this opportunity of
visiting her children. Saturday afternoon
she expressed desire to return to her
home, where she was working-at the Re-
form School-but the two boys prevailed
upon her to remain until Sunday morning,
