Lancaster pa Examiner; The
Dunkers are bringing their love-feasts
of the season to u close. This religious
denomination has large following in
u number of counties of this state,
among them Dauphin, Lebanon and
Lancaster. The ceremonies of the
Dunkers are very interesting, Any
person DESTROYS OF participating In the
ceremonies of the feet-washing and
the Lords Supper is welcomed, but
when ii comes to the sacrament the
Dunkers are close COMMITMENTS and
permit none but mem bers Of the church
to taste of the wine. Previously TO the
supper comes the ceremony of feet
washing, which, 1t should be remem-
bered, does not differ materially from
that practiced by the Winnebrennari-
ans. 1t Is not an empty form, such as
might be expected by one who never
witnessed ii, but feet-washing In fact,
in which all members present take
part, and such other persons as choose
may participate. The vessels used for
the purpose are common wash-tubs,
which contain q sufficient quantity OF
water for the purpose. The manner OF
performing the ceremony IL simple
enough Brother Jones starts out with
tub and towel, and, going toBrother
Brown, the latter's feet are both inn
mersed and washed by Brother Jones,
who puts his hands into the water and
rubs the feet a few times, and then
wipes them thoroughly dry with a
towel. He then proceeds in n similar
manner to two or three others, when
another brother takes the tub and goes
on with the process, by which plan all
participate, one relieving the other,
the water being thrown out and re-
newed frequently. The sexes perform
this duty as well as giving and receiv-
ing the kiss of brotherly love separate
ly. The brothers wash feet only for
the brothers, the sisters performing the
same service only for those of their
own sex. During the performance OF
feet-washiug one Of the teachers dis
courses on the origin and Significance
of the ceremony. After the feet-wsh-
ing has been concluded all partake OF
the supper prepared for the OCCASION,
each one receiving n share OF the
bread and meat and dish of soup.
After all are satiiled, the sacrement Is
offered, with fermented wine.

Venetian McgnIIna.

A Venetian correspondent says .
There Is n pretty story which | lave
lately read in " rare old book that gives
the cause Of some of the early regattas.
In the good, simple days Of the tenth
century marriage was not ouly a ma
tional festival IN Venice, but II was n
wholesale affair; all the weddings
! were celebrated at one time, on one
| day, and In the same church, on the
feast Of Publications. "a OF February,
in the old cathedral church, ST. Pietro
In CASTILLO, or Olvoium, az IL was
then called, from the olive leaf
shaped island on which the
cathedral stands, These festivities
were named Litti Mttrjomi, The brides
went to church in body, each one
dressed in her bravest, and holding in
her hand little casa or box called
arcadia, which contained all the world
ly goods the girls brought their hus-
bands. The bridegrooms met them at
the church, a solemn ndptlai mass was
celebrated IN the presence of the DOge
by the Bishop, II benedictiou bestowed,
aud the husbands took their wives and
drceNC to their homes. But in the
year $50 this primitive ceremony was
sadly disturbed by some pirates from
Trieste The night previous the rascals
m0ored their harks behind OlivolA the
the next morning they united with the
bridal crowd and entered the church,
but they attracted no attention as
their arms were hidden under gay
nantes, rOSSO u J)duONC5<O. Al u
given signal they threw aside their
nantes, seized the brides with
their little teasure boxes, carried
them to the boats aud set
Oft in full sail. The Doge
Pietro Contarini ILL.,, who was present,
rushed into the city with the Young
husbands, and summoned all the peo-
pie to their aid, They mounted the
great barks, they rowed and they sail
ed, for the same fine wind swelled the
sails that had helped the pirates.
"Heaven and love We're on their side"
says the quaint writer who tells the
story. AT Caorle they came up with
the pirates, who had landed and were
prize. The Venetians fell upon the
scoundrels and killed them. The Doge
ordered the bodies to be thrown into
the sea without Christian burial. The
port is called to this day "Porto dele
Don2elle.p The husbands returned To
the church with the brides and dcclIe
In triumph, the Doge at their head.
A hymn of thanksgiving was sung
and the marriage henediction given.
From that time the "Ludi Mariana "
became greater festivals than before /;
they lasted several days, and Il regatta
was also held annually at the same
time in memory of the oppose rapite
in Olivolo," the stolen brides Of Oil

HOUSTON AND TEXAS CENTRAL.

SOME of the press of the State are
speaking out in plain terms of the AS
ISOLATED Press system, as carried on in
Texas. The following is from the
Waco Reporter:
The following article, from The
DALLAS HERALD, of the I'd inst, we
cordially endorse. There is scarcely a
daily paper in Texas, publishing the
press diSpatchesl but has not been sub
jected to the annoyances and impOsi-
lions complained of by The HERALD.
Mr.. Vogel, the Secretary of the Texas
Press and Editorial Association, has
long been endeavoring to procure IN
abatement of the evils of the associa-
ted press system, and if every daily
paper in the State will unite and join
their efforts with his, many Of these
evils can be remedied.
The Paris North 1eraR also endorses
The HERALD's article.
Waco Examiner: THE DALLAS HER
AID complains that the telegraph
company fail to send dispatches from
inadequate causes, in this State. 1t Is
often really a relief to us to be without
them, for worse edited and more
ridicul0usly arranged dispatch than
that sent to the Texas papers was new
er read in any country. We pledge
ourseH to stand by the HERALD in any
reasonable effort to secure a correction
of the imposition complained of.

The Polonio family, one OF the IN ost

The Youngest showed faint signs OF
life, but afterwards expired. The girls

PERCENTAGE ON CONTRACTS.
Under this head ne says: Upon my entry
into this office, there were in process OF exc
cuiion contracts for cutting granite for the
snrersiructures Of several OF the largest
buildings now being cons tructei under the
supervision OF the Treasury department.
These contracts, known as the percentage
contracts, provide for the payment 10 the
contractors OF the actual cost of all labor and
materials used in the work of Cutting. dress
ing and boxing the same, Increased 10y fifteen
per cent OF the same. While there are al
vantages In this system of executing this
very important branch of the service, / am
persuaded that IL Is founded in a mistaken
principle. and that so long as the profits TO
contractors are in proportion 10 the extent OF
the expense of their work, the department
will find great difficulty in keeping the cost
OF the same within reasonable limits. In
view of the fact that nearly one thirt Of All
The appropriations made by Congress for the
construction of public buildings under this
department is expended in cutting the stone
soi tneSe otltiuIngs, mucn attention has been
gwen TO the stone cutting, with view To
reducing, as far as possible. its cost: and
while this branch of the work is believed to
be stll too expensive. yet | am gratiiet
with the results thus far.
ANOTHER CHANGE PROPOSED.
The designs prepared for the public build
lngS erected under the Treasury department
have heretofore heer made by the suppryiS-
ing architect, and have been so made up To
the present time; but the very strong rea-
SOUS which present themselves against this
practice, have convinced me that IL should
DE remeo1ed as soon as may be have gi ven
much thought to this subject, and while I am
not now prepared TO present for your consid-
Grafton any plan by which the radical de-
fects of this method OF procedure in design
ing the public buildings throu ghout the coun-
try, may be remedied, the vital point of any
S, stem which may be adopted, must be the
removal OF the power from the supervising
arci ect TO make designs and restrict his
duties TO those simply of supervising ma
ture.
