CHRIsTIANCY's MARRIAGE-I like the
way old Christiancy married. We make too
much OF marriage anyway as q grand part
OF Life, and by exaggerating Its responsibility
increase the deltcacy OF the relation and
consequent disturbance and uuhappiness
Marriage ought to be a prompt and beautiful
accident, with money somewhere ON the
premises, in which case bad health is not
dangerous and one can pay, his fare to run
away from bad temper. Christfaney had the
money: his discovery had the caloric neces-
sary for spouse sixty-four years Old, who
may have been suspected Of q tendency To
cold feet. Now, put Senator with cold feet

maiden accustomed to the use of money

tiancy's money be put, SO as TO do him as

The s'Pndgy and Fluffy Question.

PRINCE GEORGE COUNTY, VA, Feb o.
Editor Star: The intelligence you give from
some western paper that Blaine is "pudgy"
and "hufy," has filled the hearts of his nu-
merous admirers in this region with regret
We looked upon Blaine as thorough states
man,-not modern Virginia statesman,
with his head full Of dreams and the ''resO-
buttons of 9S, but practical, progressive, aud
lncorruptible, ana the one most likely to

conflict, and such charge at such time
comes with stunning force. We have search
ed Worcester through, and can fiud no such
words, and whether they mean something so
mean and awful that he could not define
them, and so left them out, or left them out
because there are no sucn words, we are In a
state OF most painful suspense. "Cousin
Daniel" says he does not believe there are
any srch words; but that woman just coined
them TO hide lie under; but We can hardly
believe washington woman aud a news
paper correspondent would convey an uu-
truth, and so we come to you for relief.
We wish to know firstly IL there are any
such words. Not II some "witty member or
slangy sensationalist has uttered such, but IL
there are any such words used by cultivated
persons in good society. Then we want 10
know the meaning of them. Just how Ia
nentable a condition, pudginess or fiuffiness
is If 1t refers TO state, or how atrOcious an
Offence pudgtng and futfing Is IL it refers to
an act That is, we want TO know exactly
how man acts that is pudgy and fluffy
now man looks that is pudgy and duffy,
.
ana as TO the grammar oiit, il ii would be
correct To say: pudge;
Thou pudgest;
He pudges; and
paSsively: l am pu1ged;
Th0u art pudgsd;
de is pudged.
You get the idea, Mr.. Editor, from this, and
we look 10 you To make IL all plain. We

liable remark quoted above, and went Oh to

NEW DEPARTURE.
TPe Citizens Railway Company Test
the Feasibility OF One-Horse
Cars.-DOuble the Mum.
Der Of Trips 10 be
Made.

The Citizens Street Railway Com
pany having in contemplation the equip
ping Of their road with one-horse cars,
and putting on double the number OF
cars that they now have, Tor the greater
accommodation of the public, trial WINS
made Yesterday in order to test the FEAST
bility of putting such stock on the road
before ordering the same, the company
fearing that the heavy grades along the
line would render them useless.
The experiment, however, proved
complete triumph and surpassed the e1-
pectations of even the most sanguine,
setting at rest all doubts regarding the
success of the new departure. The mat
ter was tested with two.horse car, con-
tanning thirteen persons, Messrs. John
Bishop, A. M. Adams, Jacob Hornbrook'
Charles Collyer, Lew Bailey, j. V. l.
Rodgers, Van Hall, Robert Erwin, Robt'
Gibson, Edgar Gibson, VIM. Robb, ID.
Forsyth and Scott Liston, to which one
horse was attached ard driven
the entire length of the main
line. At North Wheeling, the car and
occupants were weighed, the former
weighing 1000 pounds and the latter
2,236 pounds, l72 pounds to each indi-
vidual, making a total of 6,236 pounds.
Throughout the entire length Of the
road from North Wheeling to Richie
town, not particle of difficulty was ex-
periencsd, the curves requiring even
stronger pull than the grades, and the
horse propelled the car very easily.
When the weight of n one-horse car, and
the average weight of the travelling pub
lie including men, women and children,
which, at the outside will not reach
over $50 pounds, is taken into conslders'
ton, it will readily be seen that
one-horse cars can be used to great ad-
vantage on the road. These cars weigh
about 1900 pounds, and have seating
capacity of sixteen persons each, which
number, at an average of $50 pounds
each, will aggregate 2,400 pounds, max
ing u total weight of car and occu-
pants of 400 pounds, or 1886
pounds less weight than was easily pro-
PEELED over the road yesterday, by one
horse, attached to two.horse car. With
the light cars the convenience to the
public will be incalculable, as, in addi-
ton to there being double the number of
cars on the road at the same time addi-
tional sidings will be put in, and double
the number of trips that are now
made will be the result. With cars
leaving the office on Market street every
few minutes, the necessity of waiting
such great length of time and being
compelled TO ride standing in crowded
cars will be to great extent obviated.
In addition to this, the small cars are
more comfortable to ride in than the
large ones, and are susceptible of more
rapid transit. The gentlemen who made
the experiment express themselves well
pleased, and it is thought that new cars
will be ordered very soon. At any rate,
it is but a matter of time before the
change will be made.
