Falling i'm Love with a Photo

Miles 20 get Married.

From the Cincinnati Commercial
Al the German Reformed Church, at
the corner of Sycamore and Orchard
streets, yesterday afternoon, there was an
interesting marriage ceremony, the par
ties to the contract being Alexander
Franz Eur Hosen, of St. Petersburgh,
Russia, and Miss Sarah Epstein, daugh-
ter of DR.. Ephraim NJ. Epstein, of this
city.
The bridegroom, a dashing fellow,
traces his lineage back to the sturdy
mercantile nobility of Holland. He is a
man of wealth, and conducts a flourish
ing tobacco trade in St. Petersburgh.
As to the wooing, there is a little bit of
romance. In an album at the house of
some of the Epstein relatives in ST.
Petersburgh the young merchant saw a
photograph of Miss Sarah. In twink
ling of an eve he fell in love, and ex-
pressed an ardent wish to see the fair or
iginal. Correspondence followed, pho
tographs were exchanged, and about a
year ago Miss Epstein made a visit to
Russia. Preliminaries were arranged,
with the result above stated. The bride
and groom leave for New York, and will
thence journey to St. Petersburgh, which
city they will make their home

Russian Ladies'.

The characteristics of the Russian
type of feminine beauty are an extreme
fairness of complexion, grayiSh-blue eyes,
blonde or chestnut hair, and a certain
cmbOnpOint, arising from the lack of ex-
ercise and the life indoors, which is
compelled by winter lasting seven or
eight months. They suggest the idea of
odalisques, whom the Genius of the
North keeps confined in the tropical at
mOsphere of a dollhouse. They have
compilations of cold cream and snow,
with tints of the heart of a camelia-
like those over-veiled women of the ser
aglio, whose skin the light has not
touched. By this extreme fairness their
delicate, and the softened outlines form
faces of Hyperborean sweetness and Polar
grace.
The Russian women, in society, seem
to make less display than the men, as the
uniforms and court of the latter glitter
with gold lace and embroidery, and with
iewelled decorations. Yet the simple
robes of the ladies are composed of the
costlest fabrics, fastened with the rarest
gems; and their dazzling skins, and flash
ing diamonds, and cleaning pearls, and
flowing draperies, match, i'll effect, the
heavier splendor of the masculine attire.
Their simplicity pays homage to the
Empress, who prefers elegance to osten-
tation; but you may be sure Mammon
loses nothing by it. Like their sex
everywhere-they know how to make
gauze more costly than gold"

On the 9th of last month John Aboons
published in the San Jose (Cal.) Patriot
card to the effect that Mary E. Aboons,
his wife, had left his bed and board with
out any just cause or provocation, and
that he consequently declined to pay any
debts of her contracting. In reply to
this Mrs. Aboons published a card in the
same paper stating that she lived with
the said Jehn for ten years, or $500 days;
that she had cooked him 200 meals,
made 1000 milkings of cows, spent be-
tween 10, 900 and IL, 900 hours over a
hot stove, borne him six children, and
has loaded hay, sewed sacks and cleaned
stables. In payment she has had board,
lodging and clothes, and not many of
them. No man, she maintains, would
have done as much for the same consider
alton. We have no hesitation in agree
ing with Mrs. Aboons, especially on that
point in which maternity is concerned.
Mary has now left John. my reasons,
she says, s'are my own" We are dis
posed to sympathize with Mary. A
woman who did so much ought to have
beel allowed little pin money.

No Better Of.

A man and his wife who had been mar
ried ten years disagreed and determined
to separate. The terms of separation
were to be decided by the justice of the
reimbursement in which they lived.
They were Parisians.
''Have you any children?" said the
judge.
Eyes, monsieur"
''How many 7"
Three; two boys and girl, and it is
with them lies our difficulty. Madame
wishes to have two of them; so do /.
Have you agreed to abide by my de-
cision?"
eve have" said both of them.
Every well. my friends; I condemn
you to have another child, so that you
may have two. When you have obtained
that you may return to me"
The matter Was then adjourned for the
time being. Two years afterwards the
worthy magistrate, who in the meanwhile
had heard nothing of the husband or wife,
met the former.
"Ah, said.he, chow about the separa-
ton ?"
''Still impossible, monsieur. Instead
of four children we have now five"

HunAOr and Sarcasm.

1t is not everybody who knows where
to joke, or when or how; and whoever
is ignorant of these conditions had better
not joke at all. A gentleman never at
tempts to be humorous at the expense of
people with whom he is but slightly ac-
quainted In fact it is neither good nor
wise policy to joke at anybody's expense;
that is to say, to make anybody uncom-
Portable merely to raise laugh. Old
Esop, who was doubtless subject TO many
a jibe on account of his bumped back,
tells the whole story in his fable of 1.-The
Boys and the Frogs" What was fun to
the youngsters was death to the croakers.
A Jest may cut deeper than curse.
Some men are so constituted that they
cannot take friendly jokes in the same
light coin, and will requite it With con-
tumely and insult Never banter one
of this class, or he will brood over your
badinage long after you have forgotten
It, and it is not prudent to incur any
ones enmity for the sake of uttering a
smart double entendre or tart repartee.
Ridicule, at best, is perilous weapon.
Satire, however, when leveled at social
foibIes and political evils, is not only
legitimate, but commendable. 1t has
sharned down more abuses than were
ever abolished by force or logic.

new Rinc

A Paris journal describes a new rifle.
Of novel construction, recently invented
in that city. According 10 this account,
the gun presents nothing remarkable cN-
teriorly, but the lock Is so arranged chat
the breech is opened by cooking the
piece, and, the charge being introduced
the breech is closed, and the gun is trgl
by touching the trigger. The cartridge
consists of a hollow leaden cone filed
with powder, and closed az the base with
a piece Of cork. At the moment the
cartridge is introduced into the breech
the powder escapes by a small hole DOB
the cork, and an impercepuble ball of
fumigatng powder, which forms the
printing takes its former position. The
triple action-cocking, loaGing and firing
is thus effected simultaneously, 80 that
man with slight experience can fire
twenty rounds minute. The cartridges
are stored in an iron tube, which Is
placed parallel with the barrel and cone
tains thirty balls, so that the piece may
be fred as many times almost without
any interval, aud without removing the
stock from the shoulder, there being
nothing to be done but to cock and pull
the trigger.

The Right ola State 10 Tax Rail
roads.
From the Mem ph,s Appeal.

From the Mem DhlS Appeal.
In view of pending legislation looking
to the taxing f the railroads Of the State,
a decision in the United States circuit
court, sitting in the city of New York,
possesses more than ordinary interest
1t seems that the legislature Of New
York of 1874 imposed tax upon
the different railways of the State, the
payment Of which the latter resisted on
the ground that their charters exempted
them from taxation. The position taken
by the State Is that, in 1866, the legisla-
ture passed an act reserving the right TO
withdraw the franchises granted TO any
corporation unless such right be express
ly negative in the charter. As the char
tiers of all the companies have been
amended since the passage of this act,
the State assumes that in the acceptance
of such amendments they brought them
selves within the scope of the statute,
and that the act of 1874 strikes down the
exemption hitherto enjoyed. In 1866
the legislature of New York passed an
act to facilitate the construction of the
New York and Oswego Midland railroad,
and, among other things, the act provid
ed for the exemption of the roads proper
ty from taxation for ten years, or until
continuous line of the road was in oper-
alton from Oswego, New York, to the
New Jersey State Line This act con-
tanned no reservation Of the right of alter
alton, amendment or repeal but it was
repealed by the legislature OF 1874, and
the receivers of the road contended that
the repeal was unconstitutional and void,
because it impaired the obligation of a
contract. In dealing with that question
Judge Blatchford, after commenting at
great lenghth upon the cases which had
been decided involving the right of a
STATE to contract not to levy taxes, holds
that by the act of 1866 the State made
valid contract not to levy taxes on the
New York and Oswego Midland railroad
during the time specified. He also says,
however, that the act of 1866 must be
taken as a part of the charter Of the road,
and by virtue of the constitution of the
State of New York, the provisions
of the revised statutes, and the general
railroad law of the State, the power to
alter, amend, or repeal the charter of the
road is vested in the legislature. From
these premises the Judge draws the con-
clusion that the act of 1866 being a part
of the charter of the New York and
Oswego Midland railroad, the legislature
could alter, amend, or repeal it so far as
passage, and that therefore the act OF
1874, repeating the one of 1866, is not
unconstitutional and void.

Excuse Wy Glove"

Certain kinds of mistaken politeness,
sincere rs they are, are absurd enough to
be grotesque. \ common mistake of
this sort, with some persons, even in
large cities, is to say, Excuse my
glove" when they offer their hand to
casual acquaintance, or on introduction
to stranger 1t might be inferred
from remark that the wearing of gloves
is extremely rare in a civilized commune
ty, or that the wearer wishes to advertise
the extraordinary fact that he has gloves.
All he really desires is to appear polite,
never suspecting for moment that he is
simply ridiculous: If you offer to shake
hand with any one in place where it is
customary TO wear gloves, you certainly
need no excuse for compliance with the
habit. You might with equal reason,
on receiving a visitor at your house,
apologize to him for not removing your
coat before bidding him welcome. The
superfuous phrase probably had its ORR
gin in the days when gloves were clumsy,
and used more for protection than as an
essential of dress. Then the naked hand
was thought TO be an evidence of good
will and cordiality. Since gloves have
been universally adopted, the idea of ask
ing pardon for wearing them is an an
achronism as well as an improperly.
Gloves are now made to fit exactly, so
that, were it courtesy to take them off on
encountering ones friends or acquain-
tances, an amouns OF time and trouble
would be required which would inevita-
bly, render social greeting at once
comical exhibition and a bore.-Scrib-
ner's Monthly.
