Women Among the Arabs.

Poligamy is rare among The Cador.
ms; but few have two wives
1he marriage ceremony is very simple
among the Aenezes. When man de-
sires to marry girl, he sends friend
OF the family to her father, and the
girls wishes are ascertained; for she
is not compelled to marry against her
inclination. If she agrees, the friend.
then holding the fathers hand. says
aloud that he understands that he ID
willing to give his daughter in mar
riage to her suitor, when the father
answers in the affirmative. The wed
ding day is fixed, and the bridegroom
Drlngs lamb to the tent of the girls
tather and cuts its throat before wit
nesses; as soon as the blood falls up-
on the ground, the marriage ceremony
is regarded as complete, and the bride
is by and by conducted to her new
home. The knot, being so easily tied,
unfortunately is loosened without much
scruple, for divorces are of frequent
occurrence. If an Arab becomes dis
satisfied with his wife, he separates
himself by simply saying, 'sthou art
divorced" and giving her a she camel,
sends her back to her family. He is
not obliged to state any reason, nor
does this reflect particularly on the
discarded wife's honor; the husband
is excused by his friends saying he did
not like her There have been instan-
ces of Arabs not more than forty-fiVe
years of age, who were known to have
had over fifty different wives; in fact
whoever. will be at the expense of a
camel may divorce as many wives as
he pleases. The wife also can use the
privilege of divorce in a somewhat
modified form. If she is unhappy, she
can fly for refuge to her kindred, and
if the husband uses force to induce
her to return, her family would resent
this violence. He may revenge him
self by Withholding the words of di-
vorce, so that the woman cannot mar
ry again. Of this class there are a
large number, but old maids are un-
known among the Bedouins. If hus-
band dies, his brother generally offers
to marry his widow, but neither is
forced by custom to enter into matri-
mony. A man has the exclusive right
to the hand of his cousin, though he
is not obliged to marry her; still.
without his consent she cannot accept
husband.

News and Personal Items.

The old Directory and Officers of
the Hooking Valley R. R. Co., were
re- elected on the 18th inst.
Sol Smith Russell, Comedian, with
Berger Family, sewers his connection
with that organization, at the end of
the present travelling season. He has
been secured by Augustine Daily, of
the Fifth Avenue Theatre, New York,
for the period of five years, at the mu-
nifcent salary of $3.50 a week. His
first appearance with Mr.. Dally's COM
pany will be at the Academy of Mu-
sic, Chicago, in the early part of July.
Mr.. Russell has bright future before
him, and by perseverance may be the
first in his profession.
In the .. S. Supreme Court on the
9th inst, decision was rendered to
the effect that Insurance Companies
are liable on policies held at the South
on which premiums were not paid
during the war, but upon which the par
ties by their representatives rendered
payment after the close of the war
This decision involves a large
amount of money, and it is probable
that rehearing will be granted.
The first postal card was issued on
the 18th of May, last year, or eleven
months ago, and up to the first inst. ex-
actly 100,OOO,OO0, or the whole
amount estimated for the first year,
were delivered to the Governments
Of this number, the fifteen largest cit
les in the country took 10000, O,O0O-
New York city alone taking 11,10O,
900, or nearly eight per cent of the
whole. Next to New York came Bos-
ton, which took about 100000,
while Washington required for her use
considerably over 100000. It is es-
timated that about 100000, more
will be required to meet the demand
for the first year since their introduc-
ton.
A letter from Washington says
Bertha Gerolt, daughter of the late
Prussian Minister to the United States,
who entered the Monastery of the Wis

The same day nun died within the
Convent walls who had been immured
there twenty five years, and belonged
in the pastto respectable official fam

Within the same walls are daughter

Honesty Good Policy.

The Senate currency bill, and the
notion which Democratic and some
silly Republican in1ationists try to fos-
ter of the effect of the veto, furnish a
striking example Of the ignorance and
rashness with which many would rush
into currency legislation. The bill
authorized 400 millions of greenbacks,
of which but Is millions remained un-
issued; but it required banks to call
home and keep in their vaults such a
portion of their reserves which are
now lent that it would have caused an
actual contraction, and serious mon
etary disturbance. The veto has saved
the country from that which in effect
would be the reverse of what the in
fationists want. Instead of being a
disaster to business, as infationists
would have us think, it has saved bus
mess from disaster.
In theory the bill was an imitation of
the irredeemable currency and de-
parture further from redemption. That
was its design. 1t was an abandon
ment Of principle, and yet it would
not have produced the desired int1a-
ton. It would have created more ir-
redeemable paper, but would have con-
fined a larger portion Of it in banks.
Does this make the veto of no practi-
cal virtue? By no means. The mer-
it of the veto is that by it the Execu-
tive has planted himself squarely
against any further increase of IRE
deemable notes for money-against
currency depreciation and for appre-
ciation-against sliding and dishon-
est measure of values and of the obi
cation of contracts, and for az honest
and fixed Acknowledgements repudia-
ton and for good faith-against shut
fling off all the pledges of the last
fourteen years, and for their faithful
redemption. And while the veto has
preserved the national character it has
saved business from a currency dis
turbance which could not have been
otherwise than disastrous.-FC Cincin-
natl Commercial.

Walking Horses.

One of the most desirable and Talu-
able gaits for horse is walk, and it
should be the aim to first develop this
gait in the handling of the colt. The
good walker will always make good
time on the road when days journey
is to be made, without Wearying him
self, while the slow moper must be
constantly kept on the trot if time is
to be made. A Horse that will walk
five miles per hour will go as far in
day, confined to this gait, as an ordi-
nary horse can be driven when kept
half of the time to the trot, and With
much greater ease to himself. If one
half the pains were taken by farmers
boys to make fast walkers of the
youngsters on the farm that is usually
taken to make them trot, the result
would be much more beneficial, and We
would find plenty of teams that could
do their five miles an hour with ease.
But instead of this, as soon as the
colt is bridled, tho sole aim of'the boys
is to make trotter of him, and both
gaits are spoiled. Make the colts walk,
boys make them extend themselves in
a long, sweeping, square walk, and
don't be satisfied with anything less
than five miles an hour. When he gets
to trotting he will go all the faster for
this preliminary training to the walk
ing gait, and if he cannot trot fast
enough to beat Dexter or Goldsmith
Maid, or Occident, he will have gait
that is invaluable for business purpos-
es. We hope to see more attention
paid to fast walking than heretofore,
and we respectfully urge upon agricul-
tural societies the importance of offer
ing liberal prizes for walking horses
at the fairs for the coming year Ma:

Some philosopher, who evidently
knows how it is himself, interprets
dreams as follows:
If a man dreams the devil is after
him it is a sign he had better settle his
subscription bill.
If he dreams OF an earthquake, and
turmoil generally, it is a sign that
he is going to get married.
If he,( being q married man dreams
of some fearful mysterious danger, it
is sign that his mother-in-law is COM
ing to spend few days with her dar-
ling daughter.
If he dreams that his head is in dan
ger and his hair all falls out, it is a
sign he will have a quarrel with his
wife
If he dreams of being accosted by a
strange man, who insist on talking
with him, it is a sign that he had bet
ter know all the policemen.
If he dreams of making a fool of
himself, it is a true sign that it is So

- It is now asserted that the whis-

their business respectable. They
must have radically changed their
views since 1851. They then voted

be found in respectable company? 1t
is curious that such twaddle should
pass with intelligent people. The

The Blackburn Case.

This important case has at least
reached termination Which it is gen
orally believed will be final. John
Blackburn has been adjudged insane
and will probably soon take his de-
parture for the Athens Asylum. The
jury were unanimous in their verdict,
and agreed in five minutes after retir-
ing. Each juror was asked to write
down his opinion, and every one
wrote Einsane." This last trial it
would seem to US was unnecessarily
prolonged, and an undue amount of
expense incurred for which the coun-
ty will have to pay. It would seem
that competent medical examination
would have settled the fact whether
the man was now insane or not, but
be that as it may, it is some satisfac-
ton to know that the drain upon the
county is at last ended. The question
as to whether or not the man was
guilty of the crime charged will pro
badly never be decided, but even
should it prove true that he was a
murderer, three years of imprisonment
in our county Jail and the ultimate loss
of his mind, is punishment enough for
any crime.-[Chillicothe Gazette.

- Infationists have flippant way
of charging the veto to Wall street in
fuences. To such can be commended
the following reliable stat ement from
the New York Economist:
con the whole, Wall street is not
pleased with the veto. It insures a
too conservative course on the part
of operators, and imposes a disagree
able check on speculation. 1t is true
that a different policy on the part of
the President would be acceptable to
great many persons. But this feel
ing is limited to a class that have
more to gain than to lose by excite
ment. The heavy capitalists and
bankers who give strength and back
bone to the street, are well satisfied
with the result, and say that the veto
has come in good time to save the
country from frenzy of speculation.

Good Grn M ira ar.

We advise every little grammarian
just entering on the study to commit
to memory the following lines, and
then they never need make errors in
speech. The author, whoever he is,
deserves credit:
Three little words yon often see,
Are articles, A, AN and THE.
A nouns the name of anything,
AS SCHOOL or GARDEN, HOOP or SWING.
Adjectives tell that kind of noun,
AS GREAT, SMALL, PEtTTY, WHITE or
BROWN.
Instead of nouns, the pronouns stand
HER head, HIS face, YOUR arm, NY
hand.
Verbs tell of something TO DO done
To READ, COUNT, SING. LAUGH, JUMP,
RUN.
How things are done, the ndyerbs
tell.
AS SLOWLY, QUICKLY, ILL or WE'LL.
Coli functions join the words together.
As men AND women, wind OR weather.
The three propositions stand before
A noun, as OF or THROUGH door.
The interjections show surprise,
As All how pretty-oH! how wise.
The whole are called nine parts Of
speech,
Which reading. writing, speaking,
teach.
