PoItsrabend-Weddlng Eve IN Ger
many

There is, perhaps, no land where one
has a better opportunity TO observe old
customs than in Germany. We wonder
sometimes how she has cOntrived 20
whirl through the giddy maEeS Of time
with her sister lands and yet get no
more shaken up than she has. One Of
these old customs is the observance Of
the evening before n wedding. IL 10
called "Polterabend." The verb "to
potter" means to make great noise, and
the evening rightly takes its name from
the word. Il ia Proverb here that
"the more potsherda, the more luck"
therefore, the friends Of the bride col
leet all the old earthenware which is
hOrs du combat for household warfare,
and bring Il and dash it against the
house where the bride lives Old crack
ed plates, saueers, earthen pots, handle
less cups, and Boseless pitchers close
their crippled earthly career BY the
frantic plunge at the foot Of the altar Of
Hymen. II takes but a short time for
the news Of the "poltsrabend" 10 reach
the ears Of the street boys, and then the
work goes on merrily, for when could
boy nature ever resist NO glorious an OPP
portunity to smash aomething7 One
living in the house, or even In the vicin-
ity, feels as IL Joshua, with his armed
band, were comprising the premises ior
the seventh time, and as II the walls
might fall at any moment, or as IL that
mythical "bull" had at last got into his
"china shop" so continuous Is the crash.
The family are obliged 10 have these
tokens Of good luck removed az soon as
IL is Light on the following morning, or
be fined, as they obstruet the sidewalk.
It often requires horse and cart to do
it. While this strange ceremony is tax
ing place outside the house, the friends
Of the lady have gathered within. No
invitations are given, but the house ia
thrown open, and all the acquaintances
are expected to come. Each guest brings
some gift, and the presents are placed
on a table as they accumulate, for the
admiration Of the assembled company.
II il customary 10 have some short
dramatic piece or pieces acted. These
are usually prepared for the occasion,
and weave in many a sly hit at the hab-
its or tastes of the devoted pair, or hints
at the peculiar incidents Of the court
ship.

To the poorer classes, cents are of the
same value as dollars are to those of the
wealth. er classes. However the capital
ist may be embarrassed by the panic, he
certainly has a suficiency of small
change to pay his way in the dealings
with those persons whose utmost claims
are only few dollars. We consider the
language of the Tribune as being spoken
at right time, and in the right manner.
And we indorse every word of it. Pan
les are bad enough without making them
siupendous pretexts for Withholding the
pittances that are due to those who have
no credit with which to sustain them
selves in obtaining the daily necessariei
of life.

A young woman Of Sutter Creek, Cal
ifornia had been engaged for several
months to a young man, and had re-
ceived ring from him. Having heard
that he had said he intended TO marry
her out Of spite only, she offered to re-
turn the ring, and break of the engage
ment. He denied having said what she
alledged against him, but she backed ur
her assertion by offering TO bet $500 that
such was the case. The bet was accept
ed and the money deposited. She failed
to prove her assertion, and he eonse
quently pocketed the stakes and broke
off the engagement.

A young Boston physician yesterday
set an example which, if followed, would
soon deprive US Of some of the medical
faculty. The young man had mistaken
the nature of case which he was called
in to treat, and in consequence the
patient died. 1t was really not matter
concerning which he need have troub-
led himself, since the patient died OF
laudanum taken for suicidal purposes
Nevertheless, the young physician was
so annoyed by his mistake that he de
liberately killed himself, and went tc
explain the matter to his patient in an
other world. If all other physician
who make mistakes in their diagnoses
should subsequently commit suicide
what lively business the coroner
would do, and how rapidly the medica
faculty would become as extinct as tn
devastating ichthyosaurus or the solemn
and stupid dodo.

A boy of ten years has just been con-
victed of granddaughter at Lowell, Mass,
for killing child of three years. He
will probably be sent to the Reform
School. This is gentler treatment than
a little colored boy, eight years old, re-
ceived at Alexandria, La, short time
before the rebellion. He had killed
some other child, and was tried, convict
ed, and sentenced to be hanged. The
sentenced was actually enforced. On
the day appointed for the execution, th>
Sheriff found him playing marbles in
the Jail yard, entirely unable to aPpre'
ciate his fearful situation. The Sheriff
took his victim to the gallows, and ther'
put an end to his life. The heart of th'
Governor who could allow a mere chilC
thus TO perish must have indeed beer
obdurate, and those of the jury an'
Sheriff could hardly have been mucl
