livers her to the solemn procession, which

and there she is received by the sestee,
sister-in-law of the bridegroom. She

YOUNG lDLERs.-The habitof "loafing'
destroys more young men in cities than
all other causes put together. But there
is n lackadaisical class of girls called
"young ladies'" who are in worse way
than these same young fellows. While
their fathers, honest, laboring men, work
early and late to make living, and their
mothers enslave themselves to keep them
tidy, and cook their meals, these inter-
esting creatures are lOlling about, terri
fed at nothing so much as the idea of
earning the salt that seasons their food.
You cannot induce them IL do little
sewing, by offering them double pay. lest
they should be known to be "working
girls" aud lose all chances for the fash
innable world Interesting creatures
Doomed to helpless dependence through
life. or To be dead weight TO duped

Famine in the Far East.

A more terrible visitation than

OriSso III liiSdostau. The visitor is
Famine. Once in about every ten
years that afflicted region is sighted
10y the rains of heaven to such Il de-
gree as. to destroy the crops aud
produce the most diretul results
among the millions there dependent
almost entirely upon Mother Nature
for daily food. Every reader will
remember the chronicliug OF a season
Of famine in that same country Of
Orissa in 1866. at that time over
l,500,0C starved to death in less
than six months. Again n similar
fate threatens the inhabitants, and
again actual death 10y starvation is
being faced by the human creatures
so unfortunate as to be unable to flee
from the spot.

tho population OF parts of India have
recently passed and are now passing
cannot be understood 10y the people
of lands which have never suffered
by the withholding of the fruits of
the earth. Thousands have persisted
at a time, and have been left in their
huts unburried, and the sight of
mau-neglected dead at such n time
has been as nothing to the sight of
the seemingly God,neglected living
who are crying out for bodily nour-
ishment.

Shall we have More Supreme cou.: Judges.

At the election in November the
people are to decide by their votes
whether the number of Supreme
Court Judges shall be changed from
three to five, and whether their
terms of office shall be ten years in
stead Of six. If the change is made
it has to be done by an amendment
to the constitution. Whether the
present Judges are SO hard worked
that they cannot properly serve the
people we do not know. \ com
pIaiut to that effect from some
source, of courses, accounts Tor the
proposed amendment. But whether
the Judges originated the complaint,
or whether it originated with other
able lawyers anxious to be associ-
ated with them in the service of the
dear people we do not know. If the
present judges are able to do all the
business of the court there should
be no additional expense incurred.
They are paid S4,50U a year each.
This is more than they could make
at the bar. There are not six law
yers in the State who make that
much at a strictly legal practice. We
fear that the salary is a strong invi-
tation to an increase of the number
II more judges are actually needed,
is not the round sum of $4,000 per
year sufficient to pay a bench OF five
Unless other light than that We now
have be thrown upon the subject,
our advice 70 voters is to see that
their tickets have on them the
words, For amendment to the con
stitution, Grant Go. Uerdld.
With the light we at present have
upon this subject, we are disposed to
emphatically endorse the position OF
the Ucrold, and advise voters to
vote against the proposed amend
ment.

TIE stories about Osman Pasha
having had u good run, details are
now il order. The Washington Sto1
pronouuces the story to the effect
that Osman is Marshal Bazaine as
absurd, and declares Marshal is now
living in retirement III Spain, a cor
respondent of the Louisville Courier
.yOmual writes to that paper to say
that r. Clay Crawford cannot be.
Osmau Pasha, because Crawford was
mortally wounded while leading q
Cuban attack on the Spauiards in
Cuba and died in the field. And then
he thinks Crawford was not of the
sort of which great soldiers are made.
