In addition, he gives presents to the

other ornaments of silver, for each of

to obtain his bride. All things ar
ranged, they proceed to church in the
following order, and are married ac-
cording to the Christian rite. The
bride is led by two men, her father
and brother il alive, otherwise by
two OF her nearest relations. She is
dragged to church by them, showing
sadness and detection, and great un-
willingness and reluctancy to her
marriage. A wedding feast follows.
Each person invited contributes his
share Of provisions. At the feast
table no one helps himself, but re-
ceives his meat from the hand OF a
Laplander. If the hut is not large
enough for the company, they climb
up to the roof OF the hut. mostly boys
and girls, and from thence let down
a fishing-line apd hook up the food.
The married couple must remain a
year in the service of the father:
they can then set up for themselves.
The father then bestows upon his
daughter the reindeer which are her
due, given to her In her younger days,
also furniture, and a dowry of a
hundred or more reindeer. Then all

Watterson, Of the Louisville
Courier Journal, has given utter
ance to the following language: at
is for US, gentlemen OF the South,
to call of desperadoes- That is the
whole business, and there IL no use
mincing matters. @By or before
1880, we want that question sent to
the rear We are glad even at this
late day to hear the distin-
guished Kentuckian using such Ian
guage. Had 1t come several years
ago it would have worked much
good, and made the South what it
ought to be-. He recognizes that the
Democratic party OF the South has
the power to stop the murders that
have SO long REDEEMED the soil of the
South with blood, and brought dis
grace upon that section and the
whole country, and that there is
necessity for so doing. The ice once
having been broken, others doubt
less, will follow the leap thus set,
and we may hail it as the dawn Of a
brighter and better day.

Mr.. Conkling is nothing if not a
skillful politician. No one pretends
that he is an original statesman or
an accomplished publicist, and the
delusion that he is a gifted orator
has long ago been rudely dispelled
by himself. But it was stoutly main
tanned that as political manager he
was marvel. We respectfully sub
NIT that his tactics at Rochester will
dismiss this remnant OF his reputa-
ton to that limbo whittier hisfame as
statesman has preceded it. A polit-
lean who can deliberately defy, con-
denim and insult so large a section OF
his party as that which In the Re-
publican party of New York believes
in the reform of the civil service,
may as well lay down his pretensions
as a leader. 1t is only question Of
time, il he persists, when he will have
no party to lead.

The Laplanders are very lean in
flesh, having thick heads, prominent
foreheads, hollow and blear eyes,
short, fat noses, and wide mouths.
They are swift OF foot and very
strong, so that bow which Nor
wegan can scarcely half bend they
will draw to the full, the arrow reach
ing to the head. The usual exercises
are running races, and climbing inac-
cessable rocks and high trees.
Though nimble and strong, they
never walk upright, but always
STOPPING, habit they get by fire.
quently sitting in their cottages on
the ground Originally pagans, and
most supertitious, they have for some
centuries been Christians, and have
produced many eminent and intelli-
gent men. The manners and GUS
toms of the Laplanders in regard to
marriage are very peculiar. First
they seek for maiden well stocked
with reindeer-which, in case of mar
riage, Is secured to the child by her
parents-and then comes the offer.
Accompanied by his father and one
or more friends, who are to intercede
for him, he makes for the hut OF his
intended, and waits at the door until
he is summoned. His best man then
addresses the father, discloses his
strong affection for his daughter, and
trusts he will give her In charge to
him. He styles him as the high and
mighty Father, the worshpful Father
Gas IL he were one of the Patriarchs)
the best and most illustrious Father.
He gives his consent. The loving
couple then meet. Then come the,
presents, the rarest delicacies that
Lapland affords-reindeer tongue
beaver flesh. and many other dainties.
II she accepts the presents, the future
marriage is arranged; but IL she re-
jects his suit he casts them down at
his feet The full appreciation OF the
marriage and the celebration Of the
wedding is often deferred for a con-
siderable time, W lich they employ in
counting. The object Of giving time
is to squeeze the bridegroom to the
fullest extent that is, for presents,
etc. The day before the marriage
the relations and friends Of the bride
and bridegroom resort to the brides
hut to deliver tleir presents. The

policy. Whether right or wrong on
that subject it is not necessary to
discuss, but the truth need not be
suppressed. He believed it would
be best for both the whites snd
blacks that the latter should leave
the country, or, as he expressed it
in his interview with the colored
representatives, cit is better for us
both to be separated. Knowing his
convictions and earnest solicitude on
this branch of his policy, 1 have some
times doubted whether he would not
have hesitated longer in issuing the
decree OF emancipation had he been

accepted as an accompaniment.

Gems OF Thought.

The body OF a sensualist Is the
coffin of dead soul.
The busiest Of living agents are
certain dead mems thoughts.
Mers hearts ought not u be sci
against one another, and all against
the evil only.
Whetstones are themselves not able
to cut, but make iron sharp and cap
able OF cutting.
Each particle OF matter is an i'm
mensity, each leaf a world, each In
sect an inexplicable compedium.
1 have played the gross fool. to be.
lieve the bosom of a friend would
hold a secret my own could not con-
tain.
The stocial scheme Of supplying
our wants by looping off our desires
is like cutting off our feet when we
want shoes.
A teacher who is attempting to
teach without inspiring the pupil
with a desire TO learn is hammering
on cold iron.
Sudden resolutions, like the rise oil
the mercury In the barometer, indi-
cate little else than the change
ableness OF weather.
Every one is the poorer in proper
ton as he has more wants. and counts
not what he has, but wishes only for
what no has not. t.r.,
Something OF a persons character
may be discovered by observing when
and how he smiles. Some people
never smile, they merely grin.
Memory can CLEAN, but can never
renew. 1t brings US joys faint as is
the perfume OF the flowers, faded and
dried, OF the summer that is gone.
Whatever our place allotted to US
by Providence, that for us is the
post OF honor and duty. God esti-
mates US not by the position we are
in but by the way in which we fill it.
The theory that can absorb the
greatest number OF facts, and persist
in doing so, generation after genera
ton, through all the changes Of opin-
ion and details, Is the one that must
rule all observation. h
To make the cunning artless, tame
the rude, subdue the naughty, shake
the undaunted soul, put a bride in
the lions mouth and lead him forth
as a domestic cur. these are the tri-
umphs Of all-powerful beauty.
Egotism is more like an offense
than crime; though it is allowable
to speak OF yourself provided nothing
is advanced in favor; but can not
help suspecting that those who abuse
tn emselves are, in reality, angling
for appreciation. nl 81
The soul that lives ascends fregr
emily, and runs Familiarity through
the streets Of the heavenly Jerusalem,
visiting the patriarchs and prophets,
saluting the apostles. and admiring
the army OF martyrs. SO do thou
lead on thy heart, and bring it to the
palace OF the Great King.

President Lincoln as an Anti-Slavery
Ex-secretary welles in GalIaxy.l

Mr.. Lincoln was always an anti
slavery man but, as I have said,
was never a political abolitionist.
Events and war necessity compelled
him to adopt the policy Of enamel
patton, for which he has received
merited honors, but those who ap-
plaud his course in that respect
omit to mention that colonization
and deportation OF the slaves when
set free was deemed by him an es-
ssntial par. Of his emancipation
