Ma TRINONIAL FREAKS.

Our cousins across the Atlantic con-
trive to amuse themselves for an hour or
SO every year with the oddities of the
marriage reports. They have a Regis
ter-General in London whose reports
are always dissected with curious inter-
est, and the press often dwells on the
singularities those reports present with
evident unction. Thus they tell us
that in 1870 no less than eleven gentle
men, each approaching the age of
ninety, instead of "getting religion"
got wives. One of these veterans mar
ried a lady aged ninety, while the other
ten took wives of from thirty to thirty
five summers ripeness. One fair and
innocent creature of sixiy-tive conde-
scended to take to her blushing arms a
husband of thirty but several widows
who had passed the grand ciimacteric,
and reveled in all the fascinating
charms of three score and ten, dotted

ever, of a somewhat corresponding age.
Only fancy, though, a bachelor, of sew
enty-fve, after half a century's refiec-
ton upon the perils of double harness,
wedding an infant of seventy-one, while
II widower of the same age, with a
greater taste for the inanimate, carried
off the heart and hand Of a bride barely
twenty! Three hundred and twenty.
five girls married at sixteen and under,
during that year, while over eight thou
sand bachelors married widows to con
sole them for coniugal losses. Nearly
double that number, though, preferred
to wed spinsters who could not, in mo-
ments of vexation, throw up the per-
fections of some ''dear departed" some
marvellous number one.'

gotten that tie grand Old Democratic party by
its straightforward and consistent course has
made the e~risfencs of such organizations pos
siGie.
L. will not be denied, perhaps. that had not
Democracy upheld the doctrine Of state riglts
during the dark DAYS of the rebellion. We
| would now have no States-nothipg but dis
tricts in centralized despotism. The Demo-
cratic party has. nth q courage ~UHequdled in
the history Of any organization, upnel the
banner of self-government, and hrO"gh a
| period Of uherTmpled persecution with the
eagles of Democracy baptized in the blood Of
its martyrs. it has preserved what little there
is of constitutional freedom and to-day. if any
man speaks out his honest political sentiments,
he owes that boon 10 the cOurdSe ,rith ,rhich
the Democratic party fought tyranny and OPP
preston.
We therefore hail rith delight such mani
feS'dtions Of The rigOr Of democracy rs are
evinced in the letters to the Manhattan gath
erIng, and offer no apology for their appear
ance in the pages of the Democrat.
This is the best exposition of Demo-
cratic doctrines and purposes yet pro-
mulgated. 1t shows that the Demo-
cratic party of to-day is the Democratic
party of the ante-war and war periods :;
the party which elected the dough-faces
Polk and Pierce and Buchanan the
party which honored jeff Davis and de-
nounced Abraham Lincoln the party
opposed to coercion, because it believed
in that dogma of States rights which
left the Union defenseless-a rope of
sand the party which betrayed the
nation to the Southern oligarchv, and
sold New York city to the plunderer
Tweed. The Democrat says it is an ir-
resistible law of nature that "the fit
test shall survive The Democratic
party is not TO be born again ; it "sUr-
Uices." 1t is, therefore, the same party.
If it was righteous before and during
the war, it is righteous now. Ii it was
borne down to the earth, heavy with
political sins, it rises again, Haunting
its corruptions i'll the face of the nation
which has repudiated it. If it was ''per-
secuted" it was prosecuted in the per-
ons of those rebels who fought against
the Union. If its /" eagles" were hap
tized III the blood Of It's martyrs" those
" eagles were carried at the head of
rebel columns, and those martyrs"
were rebel soldiers fighting to destroy
the life of the nation. The doctrine of
Otate rights, as taught by the
Democracy, was defeated at the polls
and crushed by the shock of battle it
was upheld only in the Confederate
Cabine: and in the ranks of the r, bel
army. The Democratic m%artvrdom to
which the Democracy sings pnans,
was a martyrdom of baffied treason !;
and the very existence of the party thus
baptized in the blood of patriots con-
tending for the nations life is a stand
ing menace to the integrity of the Gov
ernment.-Intcr- Ocean.

Hone for the ROurb0ns.

An event lately occurred i'll New Or
leans which will greatly enthuse" the
souls of "rock-rooted" and "hill-but-
tressed" Bourbon politicians, and doubt
less will furnish "A text for an elaborate
democratic editorial article IN that
trumpet of the resurrection, the World.
1t is a case of actual resurrection from
the dead-according to the newspaper
accounts. A small boy-of course the
son of Democratic parents-fell from a
height of forty feet mot half the distance
of the fail of tie Democratic party, and
was picked updead. All the usual tests
of vitality were tried without avail, and
the doctors pronounced the boy de.
funct. But when the corpse had put
on the usual appearance of Il cadaver,
one doctor got liberty to try an experi-
ment with an electric battery and a pair
of bellows. The effect was IA miracle.
The dead was brought to life, and still
lives. Yet, says the doctor, "he was
~undepiabIy dead"
Let the Old Bourbon party managers
take hope let them get II powerful elec,
trio battery and a pair Of bellows of the
largest wind-capaclty, and try the New
Orleans method of raising the dead on
that political cadaver, the Democratic
party. 1t is the only chance left

MARRIAGES AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

MARRIAGES AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
The recent marriage Of Nellie Grant
recalls the fact that but three weddings
previous to hers have taken place at
the White House. The first was that
of Maria Monroe, the youngest daughter
of President Monroe. She was married
in 1920, at the age of II, to her cousin,
Samuel l.. Gouverneur, OF New York, a
handsome and opulent youth of 90.
The wedding was private, only the rela-
tives and personal friends of the bride
and groom being present. The cere-
mony occurred in the oval reception
room-the contracting parties, as We
are gravely told, standing upon the fig
ure of the American eagle, which was
worked in the French carpet that COW
cred the floor.
The second marriage in the White
House happened during the administra-
ton of Andrew Jackson. On this occa-
sion, Della Lewis, the daughter of
Gen. Jackson's intimate friend, Maj.
Lewis, was united to Monsieur Alphonse
de Pageat, the Secretary of the French
Legation, and afterward Minister from
France. The Diplomatic Corps, the
members of the Cabinet, and a few per-
sonal friends and relatives were invited
to the wedding. The marriage cere-
mony was performed by DR.. Mathews,
of st. Patrick's Church, the patriarch
of the Catholic clergy of his diocese.
The third time the hymeneal torch
was lighted within the White House,
Miss Elizabeth Tyler, third daughter of
the President, was led to the altar by
Mr.. Waller, of Virginia. 1t was in the
winter of 1912, and the wedding is de-
scribed rs having been very grand. 1t
WAS celebrated in the east room, and
the guests consisted Of the members of
the Cabinet, with their wives and
daughters, the foreign ministers, and
the relatives and friends of the family.
The bride was but IS, and, with her
blonde-lace vail half-concealing, half
revealing her bushes and dimples, was
pronounced by all beholders a rare
vision of loveliness.

TIE COST OF Or WI.

Mr.. David 4. Wells has furnished the
Golden Club, of England, with an essay
upon the expenses, income and taxes of
the United States. We copy the fol
lowing statement of the cost Of our late

Northern and Southern States, from
1861 TO 1865, is estimated rs follows a.:
Lives, 1000, 900; property, by destruc-
ton, waste, etc, $4,000, 000, coo. The

s., 792, 257, 600. OF this, the actual war
expenses were about 1892 37, 900.
The expenses of States, counties, cities
and towns in the Northern States, not
represented by funded debts, have been
estimated at $500, 900, 600. The increase
Of State debts on the war account was
SOB, 600, 900. The increase of city,
own and county debts is estimated at
800, 900, 600. Total war expenses of
the loyal States and the National Gov
eminent, ST, 16j, 237, 000. The estimat-
ed direct expenditures of the Confeder-
ate States on account OF the war were
81, 900, 900, 900. Aggregate estimated
expenses of the wal to the country,
North and South, IS, 49, 37, ZOO. The
total receipts from all sources during
the second year of the war were less
than S42, 900, 600. The expenditures

of 800, 900, 600 n year.

Democratic Revival.

Democratic successes in Ohio, New
Hampshire, New York, and Conuecti-
cut, nave served to cheer the heart of
the old reactionary party-the party of
slavery, OF the fugitive slave law, of re-
.5eliOC. The election of the
Bourbon Eaton to the United States
Senate and the passage by the Senate
of the Civil Rights bill are events tend
ing 70 bring the Democratic party up to
solid work, and to bring to the front of
the column the representative men of
the ~party-those men who denounced
the war, and rejoiced when rebels
slaughtered Union soldiers and won
battles those men who offered armed
resistance to the draft and voted against
appropriations for supplies to the Union
armies. There is. all over the country,
a shaking Of the Demo, ratic dry bones.
The tocsln is sounded, and the cry is for
a restoration of the Government to the
paimy days Of the practice OF the doc
trlne Of States Rights in its most oflen-
sIye form-that form which meant the
slavery Of the negro and the absolute
domination of Il class-an oligarchy de-
voted 20 the robbery Of labor. The Of
tUnwa tlowa) Democrat sings a hymn

A CA UTTOU,S YOUTH

A widow lady in Scotland had an only
son. On linn she expended much to
enable him to acquire an education. He
was absent from home for a long while,
attending school. Having completed
his course OF studies, he returned to his
good old mother.
"Come, john" said she, on the night
of his arriving home, and when they
were about making preparations to re-
tire, you've been a long time away
from me, my son, and have studied
much. 4 know We are a good lad, but 1
have never heard We pray. Trylt John,
for We surely must know how with all
the learning We have got"
Accordingly John complied; made q
long, humble, and, as lie supposed, sat
~isfactory acknowledgment OF his sins
and general unworthiness, and of his
great Indebtedness to his Maker.
"Well, mother" says John, chow
did it suit YEP"
"Pretty well, pretty well, john" re-
Piled the old lady "but why didna We
gle the old dell a slop or two?"
"Ah!" says John, mot 1, not 1; for
you know, mither, there's none of MS
know whose hands we may some time
fall into !"

No fairer lily ever blew,
Search all the wide world over.
Its beauty passed into my heart

But l was then a foolish maid,
And TIA perfect lily.
One day a learned mar came by,
With years of knowledge laden,
And him I questioned, with a sigh,
Like any foolish maiden:
"Wise sir, please tell me wherein lies
know the questions silly
The something that my art defes,
And makes a perfect lily"
He smiled. and STOPPING plucked the flower,
Then tore it, leaf and petal, p
And talked to me for full an hour,
And thought the point to settle:
Herein it les at length he cries;
But IL know twas silly
Could only weep and say, But where

IEILS.

Alas for wells! From the tiny infant
in the nurses arms to the ancient widow
in her weeds, the whole sex is veiled.
Wells answer many purposes. They
conceal defects, they heighten beauty,
they V grief. and SO We see a whole
race of women of every, age, style and
condition, laying foundations for dis
eases of the eye through an almost
nee less fashion. These binders are of
every conceivable style, from white dot
on the child to the English Grape on its
grandmother. The best o~culists give
testimony against this wholesale wear
ing OF wells, and We think they should
make protest against it, even at the risk
of injury to their calling. At least le.
the mothers OF to-day look 70 it that
they will be held responsible, in another
generation, for suffering their little ones
TO go yelled, as the matrons of a past
generation were for allowing tight lac
ing and al the evils which that distress
ing practice entailed.
