fine engraving illustrating passage in

A SYRIAN Wedding,

A wedding in Syria is always at
night. There is a feast for whole
week, and then the bridegroom goes to
the BRIDES house to get the bride from
her father, and carry her TO her new
home. Musicians walk by the side of
him. There are men and youths to
blow the horn, the trumpet, the flute,
the dulcimer, the mouth-organ of
pipes or reeds, and others to play the
Tyre, the harp, the viol, the timbrel,
the cymbals and the tabrel. Girls and
boys dance as he walks along; and a
number of unmarried young women
.s'virgins," as the old word was-go
with him also with ligh.ed torches, to
give welcome to the bride and show
the way. These torches, or lamps, are
fixed at the end Of long stick. They
are something like brass dishes, and
are filed with rags, Oil and pitch. The
oil soon burns away, and more has to
be poured in; so the young women
have to carry oil with them, or their
lamps will go out and then besides the
pretty procession being spoiled, the
people would all be bustling AGAINST
one another, because the night would
be dark and they would not see.

ticial method of making paper money
equal to coin when coin IS not owned

than promises to pay and Is valuable
exactly in proportion to the amount OF

coin is not used as a circulating medlr
um of the currency of the country Is
not convertible into it at par, it be-
comes an article OF commerce as much
as any other product. TIE surplus will

er surplus; the balance OF trade has
nothing to do with the question. The
duties on imports being required in
coin, create limited demand for gold,
and about enough to satisfy the de-
mand remains in the country. To in
crease the supply, see no way open
but by the Government boarding,
through the means above given, and
possibly by requiring the National
Banks to aid. 1t is claimed by the ad-
voeates Of the measure herewith re-
turned that there is an unequal distri-
button of the banking capitol Of the
country. was disposed to give great
weight to this view of the question at
first, but on reflection, let it be remem-
bered that there still remains four mill
lion dollars of authorized bank note
assigned to States having
less than their quota of bank circuia-
,ion. They have the option Of twenty
five million more, 10 be taken from
those States having more than their
proportion. When this is all taken up,
or when specie payments are fully re-
stored, or are in rapid process of rest0r-
alton, it will be time to consider the
question of more currency.

Pitman's Phonocraphy.

Has hitherto been considered the
shortest most perfect and rapid system
of shorthand writing. 1t, however,
has several and important detects; be-
ing difficult to learn on account of its
numerous rules, with an array of ex-
ceptions to them, and from the fact
that several sounds havea multiplicity
of signs which are apt to delay and
confuse even an experienced writer,
who has to think which form he should
use when he ought to be free from all
thought except as to what the speaker
is saying. These defects, and the neces-
sity of a more simple and uniform sys-
tenn known as Edeography. derived
from two Greek words meaning plea
SAINT writing, which is free from all ir-
regularities, and is much easier, and
thirty per cent. shorter than Pitman's.
The whole principle of this neg art
may be acquired in u few days and
months practice of one hour daily in
reading and writing will enable any
one to use it with facility. The Man
ual of Edeography' is published by
Messrs. t. w. Evans x Co., of Phil
adelphia, responsible firm, who will
promptly fulfill the offer they make in
our advertising columns.

"Coyer them over with ..eautful

By Stewart, is new Quartette for
Decoration Day. The sentiment en-
braced in the celebration is beautiful
one, and the Quartette named is GER
tainly, both in words and music, we'd
ded TO the occasion. Everybody who
loved the brave boys, and cherishes
the memory of our fallen heroes, VIII
want to hear the song, and as it is now
in full rehearsal wherever the day is
honored-"Cover them over with beau

lar. 1t can be had at all Music Stores
for so cents, or will be mailed for that
amount by the publishers, LEE d.

Resolutions OF the 9Th District
Republican Convention.

/. Resolved, That the times demand
above all things, honesty, integrity and the
strictest economy, in the administration of
public affairs, and that the people should
elect no man to Office whose record in these
respects is not free from suspicion or re-
proach.
2. That the course of the present Rep
resentative of this Congressional District,
Hon. L. T. Neal, in accepting the increased
pay under the iniquitous law known as the
''Salary Grab, for nine months before tax
ing his seat in Congress, merits the severest
censure of his constituents, and should
unite honest men of all parties in opposing
his reelection.
8. That it is the sense of this Conven-
ton that the Congress of the United States
should grant warrant for l6O acres of land
without requiring a residence thereon, to
every Union soldier who served in the war
of 1s61-'65, and who was honorably dis
charged from said service.
4. That we recognize the farming and
laboring class of this country as the bone
and sinew of the nation, and that every at
tempt to remove taxation from chattels to
realty, from capital tolabor, is an outrage
upon the people and disgrace to our coun-
try.
