What Game from Casting a Shoe.

The practice which prevails at weddings
of throwing old shoes after the carriage
which bears away the bride and bride-
groom is no doubt, from its antiquity,
deserving of vensratiou, but may be car
ried too far, and is at times not only in
convenient but dangerous. Alta wedding
which took place recently at bennington
England, serious accident occurred, and
the lives ofthres persons were nearly sac.
riiced by the observance of this time
houored custom. It seems that as the
bride and bridegroom were taking thsil
departure after the wedding breakfast !,
volley of old shoes was discharged at them
with the addition of a quantity of rice
This evidence of kindly feeling. however
appreciated by the newly married couple
was unfortunately misunderstood by the
horse attached to the vehicle in whiel
they were seated, who showed his disap
proval by boiling. The consequences
were not such as can be said to have ad
dsd to the happiness of the occasion. TIL,
driver was thrown from the box aud tn,
carriage passed over him. The carriags
itself came in collision with cab, wa
capsized and smashed to pieces. Th,
bridegroom was pitched out of the win
dow. receizsd severe scalp wound. ant
now lies in preearious condition. Th,
bride was of course terribly shaken, bu
happily escaped further injury.

Politics.

In politics the TRANsoRIpr is Democratic, and
devoted to the success of that party, but SO far
Independent that it will never advocate or sup
port measures that are manifestly erroneous, al
the dictate of party rulers, but will ever pursue
that which most clearly points to the right
What it believes to be wrong it will condemn,
and what it regards as right it will uphold. II

Reasons why they Only
should be Used!

THEIR REPUTATION Is ESTABLISHED.
Thousands of testimonials have been received,
showing that these POWDERS have performed
miracles in curing of long standing, many OF
hem considered hopeless.
THERE Is NO RISK IN TAKING THEM.
They contain nothing injurious, and therefore
cause none of the lingering diseases so often the
result of the many nostrums OF the day. Physicians
recommended them rs superior to Quinine or any
other known remedy for they leave the system in u
healthy state, and the patient beyond the probable
ity ol Il relapse,
BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITS.

The February number of WOODS
HOUSEHOLD MAGAZINE is really a
marvel of what can be furnished for
only one dollar a year; considering
the cost and the quality this is the
cheapest magazine which comes to
our table. It's articles have a chaste-
ness about them which is not always
found in periodical literature, which
adapts it to fill a place now too
largely occupied by cheap publica-
tions that are positively injurious to
the young, without being exactly
immoral
We have not room to specify the
articles which fill the pages before
us-but they are many and excel
lent. The magazine contains three
engravings-a pretty house design
also the New York Fashions Gllus-
trated) prepared expressly for the
HOUSEHOLD by Nine. Demorest.
The publisher announces that here
after the Magazine viii always be
illustrated.
Subscriptions may begin with any
number. Only one dollar a year,
or with Chrome Yosemite, $1.50.
