A Strange wedding Fee.

A clergyman, who was formerly
located in this city, but is now in
New York, married, little over a
year ago, a couple who at once
started for Europe, and have re-
Gently returned. The bridegroom
was gentleman Of wealth, and be-
fore he presented himself before
the bridal altar he placed 500
greenback in his vest pocket to
give the parson for the marriage
fee, and did pay TO him as he sup
posed. While crossing the ocean,
he discovered, greatly to his as
constituent, the bill in the pocket
where he placed it, and could ac-
count for its presence only on the
theory that he must have had
another bill of a different denom-
nation which he had donated to
the clergyman by mistake. On
getting back to this country, he
determined TO solve the mystery,
and waited upon the reverend gen.
tloman, who did not recognize him,
ana inquired II on a certain date

he did not marry q certain couple.
The clergyman remembered the
occasion perfectly. II know1 am

not prepared to make any dis
closure, naturally being astonished
that his interviewer should pro-
pound such question, but upon
an explanation being made that the
gentleman himself, whom he then
recognized, was the one he had
married, he said that he would, of
course crafty him, Since he was so

blame to myself for the share which
Il, as a Republican, have had in
helping to build up the worst leg
islation of the nineteenth century.
1 have been shocked TO realize by
what successive stages we have
built up q system of restrictive
and eoercive legislation which very
few northern Republicans know in
even its broadcast features, and |
can only recognize in disorder,
riot, misrule, irresponsible official
tyranny, industrial loss, the results
which have followed everywhere
in the history from coerciVe legis-
lation enacted by one community
against another. The Republican
candidate for the vice-pnesidency
devoted his letter of acceptance al
most exclusively to the southern
question. He believes that the
southern states are not civilized up
to the standard of the northern
states, and he wants to bring them
mp. / agree with him that they
are on lower grade, but / submit
that. it is not ours to civilize
them by any POLITICAL measures.
i therefore desire now, as regards
this political question, that the
south be left to work ont its own
social problem under no arbitrary
political coercion, but simply under
the constraint of social and econ
omic forces"

Recently large delegation from
each of the cities of Cincinnati and
Cleveland, Ohio, visited Georgia.
While down where they met most
cordial hospitality, aud to show
their appreciation of it they have
made an American flag 40x2O feet,
and forwarded it to the city of At
lanta. Much to the chagrin of the
Republicans the city Of Atlanta has
gladly received and hung it on their
outer walls. Morton weeps that it
was not rejected.

Household Hints.

Oatmeal pudding.-Mix two
ounces of fine Scotch oat meal ia a
quarter of a pint of milk; add to
it a pint of boiling milk; sweeten
to taste, and stir over the fire for
ten minutes; then put in two
ouaces of sifted bread crumbs; stir
until the mixture is stiff, then add
one ounce of shred suet and one
or two well-beaten eggs add a
little lemon flavoring or grated
nutmeg. Put the pudding into a
buttered dish, and bake slowly for
an hour.
When oil-cloths are put down
around stoves they wear out on the
edges quickly unless protected in
some way. Strips of zinc are used
by some, but are not as good as
common carpet binding, doubled
and tackled along the edge, or one
edge of the binding put over the
oil-cioth and the other under and
fastened with taclSs. Strips Of full
cloth-gray, or any shade to suit
the taste-will answer very well,
aud can often be cut ont of the
best part of garment that has
been thrown by, For a common
room this last is as good as any
thing, and is the most economical.
One of the most agreeable ma
terials for curtaining windows is
coarse unbleached cotton. The ir-

of the surface gives its
soft folds much The charm of a
Russia crash, and its hue warns

edge with pinking, or some border
to suit the taste. OF course the
beauty of the mat will depend upon

If you are troubled with rats
