MOSLEM MARRIAGES.

Brokers generally arrange these marriages, though there are some love matches in which the parties be- come attached to each other without the intervention of third party. When man has reached the marrying age, he is expected to enter the matri- monial ranks, unless prevented by poverty or some other impeachment, and it is considered improper and even dishonorable for him to refrain from so doing. If a marriageable youth has mother, she describes him to the girls of her acquaintance, and enables him to decide whom to take to his house and home. Frequently he en- gages the services of woman mar riage broker, who has access to har- ems where there are marriageable wo. men, and is employed by them quite as often as by the men. She receives fees from one party, and frequently fromboth.
 In her visits to the harems she is &C., companied by the mother or other feminine relatives of the young man i; she introduces them as ordinary visi- tors, but gives sly hint as to the ob- ject of their call. If they do not like the appearance of the maiden, they plead many calls to make, and cut short their stay; but if satisfied, they come to business at once, and ask how much property, personal or otherwise, the young lady possesses. When these facts are ascertained they depart, with the intimation that they may call again. If the young man is satisfied with the report of the broker he sends her again to the harem to state his own prospects in life, and, if she looks favorably on his suit, the match is made. Everything is arranged by deputy, and the Mohammedan lover does not see the face of his mistress until she is his wife.

FtmRmciAl.

Reduction in expenses is the order of the day, and those failing to adopt this important rule in time will be likely to come out second best It is the industrious and economical that are to win the race. Cheap meats. cheap board and cheap clothing are in demand.-To work cheap we must live cheap.
 There is a contest existing between capital and labor. on the division of profits The worst feature on the part of the workingman is the seizure of the property of the employers. allowing no one to interfere or accept the situation at the price offered, even to save themselves and their families from starvation. The strikers have placed themselves in an awkward position in taking forcible possession of property and dicta ting to the owners whom they shall employ and the price per day to be paid for the service.
 The employer and the emploYe may be compared to pair of shears-one part is of no value unless connected with the other. So it is with capital and labor. If labor regulates price, capital must regulate employment, consequently when business is depressed no work is to be had. Is it not better to allow free trade between the buyer and seller of labor, the same as now exists iu businessf When there is 8 demand for merchandise, the factory is busy. If we establish an arbitrary rate for labor, we must have an arbitrary rate for the goods. which would not work successfully unless all business men adopted the principle. Suppose the United 0tofo oIo ho the rest of the world free trade in labor. Would not Europe supply the United States when prices ruled low at home, and drive the United States out of the markets of the world What we want is cheap living. cheap rents, and employment for our people.
 Trouble in our currency has had much to do with the depression in business. Business cannot be prosperous until we have sound currency, 8 dollar in the l United States to be dollar in the coun- ! tries with whom we deal. and this can l only be accomplished by bringing our cur rency to gold basis. That is, paper and gold of equal value; Dot by an arbitrary act of Congress appointing 8 certain day when specie shall be redeemable in paper l du0 pdpOk III 5pOSACS OuV "uOA RO1u duu paper shall be of equal value through the natural operations of exchanges.
 To accomplish this desirable result Congress would do we'll to repeal the act forcing specie payments upon 8 specified day. and at the same time pass all laws necessary to bring about this desirable result peaceably and quietly, which can be done by loan at 8 low rate of interest, receiving greenbacks at par. This will take the idle money out of the market. It will be spec1e payments for the reason tL at the bonds are payable both principal and interest in gold.
 There is more demand for money in New York City; rates on call have advanced from two to three per cent, but no change in business. B.. T. 1 Salisbury, August 10. 1877.

LONDON, August 2l.-The engagement of Sunday, near Kuruk- Dara, lasted eight hours. The fight began with artillery along the whole line, when the Russians advanced on the Turkish works under heavy fire, and dashed into and drove the Turks out of their intrenchments. The Russians, however, did not attack the second line of intrenchments, from which the Turks kept up constant fire, and, after holding the outer intrenchments, retired early in the evening. The loss of the Russians was BOA killed and wounded including four officers. The Turks are re ported to have lost ,5oo. The attack was really feint to keep the attention of the Turks while a great strategettc movement was carried out in another direction.

THE H1LL-CL1MB1NG ENGINE. - The novel contrivance know as the hill- climbing engine continues to excite much interest in France. This en- zine, as described, has no wheels, and consequently does not roll, but in place of them it is furnished with what are termed legs, upon which it accom- plishes the purpose in view. It is like an ordinary engine in most respects, but is supplied with straight rods, ter minating in broad, circular skates. There are three of these legs in front and three behind. The cylinders, in place of actuating wheels, raise the feet. The apparatus is claimed to be especially adapted for carrying great weights up railway inclines. One of them, weighing ten tons, is represent ed as running four to five miles an hour, and can accomplish twelve and one-half miles if desired.

ART TPUBLIsHING.-Few people are aware of the wonderful progress that Art has made ID this country during the last ades slnce, that those who desire to beau tify their homes, were obliged to depend almost entirely on foreign artists. But such a state of affairs an thls age of pro- gress and improvement could not last long with the great American people,. Genius from the East to the West, from the North to the Gulf of Mexico on the South, answered the demand for beauty, taste and refinement. and today our leading artists artists are not surpassed by the leading modern masters of Art in Europe.
 Great Art publishing establishments have sprung up. and by various processes the finest and most expensive palntinRs are reproduced ln all their elegance and beauty, and at price within the means of the masses. So that no one need be without the refining influences of beauti- ful pictures at home.
 Among the progressive leading Art Pub fishing firms in the G9@9ntry: syieson We e"ke Co.,, of Portland, Maine: they were among the first; Tn the business, and we can only understand the colossal proportions their trade has assumed by 5eme%bernf Snt,en s9a1 million people. We cannot better illustrate the magnitude of their business than to state the amount of money paid by them for postage stamps during the year 1S76;we
 
 should tbink there was some mistake. Theypa1d for postage stamps during the year 1876. thirty three thousand one hun dred and four dollars and ninety two cts lSS3, 1O4. 92 and, ln come ction with this II should be remembered that only tue small orders were sent by mail, the larger going by ex press and freight. George Stinson & Co.'S agents are to be found in every state m the Union and Dominion of CanaGa.and ID every county with scarcely on excep- siOn.
 < Long since. this enterprising firm recoR. nized the value of printers ink ludiciously used in advertising, and they inform us that without 1t they never could have ex. tended their business as 1t is today, III three times the number ot years. A short time since, they paid in single day twen. ty four thousand dollars 1924, ,OO0O0l on a contract for newspaper advertising, They evidently long since found the road to success and have neither turned to the right nor to the left. Three things are necessary for eminent success in business. First, standard honest goods that the peo. pie generally need and desire; let them be the best. whatever the line of business. Second, let your prices be reasonable, as low as possible. Third. let the people know what you have, and what you can do, by liberal and persistent advertising R, ana you will find low prices. made known and proved. will bring trade that will give larger income than can be made in any other way.

THE PRAsANTRY OF RUSSIA.

A writer in 6 leading German quar- terly, says that the peasantry of Rus- sia are in worse condition than they were when Alexander IT. abolished serfdom fourteen years ago. They do not live so we'll, and idleness, drunken ness, tramping, bloodshed, and arson have increased to a frightful extent. The writer attributes this result to the bad management of the Government. The peasant is the slave of the Com mune. which controls his person and property in such way as to leave him no liberty. The Commune is more deepotic than the master used to be-.
