King Alfonso, who recently made the
tour of Spain, on his arrival at Seville
signitied his desire to conform with the
traditional custom on Holy Thursday for
Kings to wash the feet of twelve aged
paupers, and then attend on them at n
sumptuous table laid out at the expense
of the crown. Referring to this fact, a
correspondent writes: "About 200 per-
sons alone had been invited to witness
this scene in the hall of the Ambas-
sailors. The old Moorish Alcazar is
very beautiful, and its patios and prin-
cipal courts have been restored in the
style originally designed from the
Arabic models. The doors, the cell
ings, the pavements, and the light,
airy architecture, carry you back to the
days of the old conquerors of Andalusia
though modern innovations mar the
splendor of every part of the structure.
In the hall of the Ambassadors high
table had been raised for the old men,
and facing it was a platform for Queen
Isabella and the infantas. They soon
appeared dressed in pale blue silk, with
long white lace mantillas. The crowd
pressed forward, despite the efforts of
the halberdiers and of the servants of
the royal household. In that Moorish
court were assembled the very elite of
Sevillan society, and at least half Of
those present were faces well known in
Madrid. The ladies all wore the black
or white maatilla, and uniforms were
not scarce. When the King appeared,
Cd Ixrt ha g 81,
hold, and by the gold keys, the greatest
trouble was to get glimpse over the
fair occupants of the front rank. By
dint of perseverance We secured cor
ner, and witnessed the Kings part in the
ceremony. After short prayer, said by
the Archbishop, clad in fine vestment of
gold and embroidered satin, His Majesty
went through the operation of washing
the feet Of the poor, who were led to
the table by the chamberlains and
equerries. They handed King Alfonso
the dishes laden with meat, bread, and
fruit, which the young monarch set
before his aged subjects with good
humored smile. Several times, indeed,
His Majesty laughed outright when an
awkward chamberlain nearly upset a
plate or dish at the imminent risk of
spelling gilt cloak and brilliant uniform
During the whole time the band played
selections from the Ave Maria of
Gounod, and other sacred music. When
King Alfonso, surrounded by his gran
dees and officers, and escorted by the
halberdiers, crossed the courtyard to
repose before the procession hour came
on, he appeared rather fatigued."

deed, you go through the Formally of
the TotS s0nlnlati0nS rsSpectueuses, which
consists in respectfully summoning"
your recalcitrant parents three times to
show why you should not espouse the
beloved of your heart, after which you
can do as you please. But such proceed
ing is looked upon with so much dis
favor by French society that 1t is only
resorted to in very extreme cases. If
you are an officer in the army you must
get the permission of the minister of
war to. your nuptials, and he will not
grant it unless the bride possesses either
a dowry of 10000 francs, or a settled
income of 1, 200 frances year. All these
consents obtained, next comes the publ
cation of the bans, which takes place not
only IN the church, but also at the may
orally. The signing of the contract is
the next formality to be fulfilled. Usu-
ally, in Paris, this ceremonial is made
the occasion of family festival, and
special dress is prepared for the bride,
very often a fac SlmiIe of the wedding
dress, only in some delicate evening"
dress tint instead of white. The notary
bridegroom rises, bows to the bride, and
signs his name, afterward passing the
pen to her. She signs in her turn, and
must then hand the pen to the mother of
the groom, who must give it in turn to
the mother of the bride. These little
points of etiquette are strictly observed.
All the other relations then sign in turn,
according to age or station. 1t is con-
sidered great honor to obtain some high
parsonage us a witness to the contract.
If there is a fete given on the occasion,
the cor5eiAe or wedding presents of the
bridegroom, and the trousSe0u as well, are
exhibited to the guests. The c0rbeiIIe
comprises shawls, jewels, gloves, laces,
furs, ETC., together with purse contain
ing a sum of money in gold, the whole
inclosed in large and elegant box, or in
a handsome workable. The value of
this present is usually supposed to rep
resent per cent. Of the young lady's

Can Wife Steal Her Husbands Prop
erty2 .. -.

This question recently arose before the
English court for the consideration Of
crown cases reserved, where only Grim
inal causes are heard The prisoner,
who had been a police constable, was
convicted of receiving stolen money and
goods, which he knew had been stolen
from the prosecutor, an inn-keeper at
Burslem. The theft was alleged to have
been committed by the inn keepers wife.
She had undoubtedly left her husbands
house, secretly, and without his consent
carrying away with her about 800 of his
money, his gold watch and other articles,
which she transferred to the prisoner.
But his counsel commended that there
could be no felonious receiver of stolen
goods without there first being a thief,
and that the conviction was wrong, be-
cause a married woman could not in law
steal the goods of her husband. The
court so held, and quashed the conviction,
saying that, although the goods were
taken by the wife, they were not stolen;
that husband and wife were one. and
" it would be violation of the law of
England to hold that wife could steal
her husbands goods"

out or handled until it is delivered to the
consumer. By this system of conducting
dairy the proprietor secures an exact
account of expenses and receipts, and

each COW in the dairy. He also secures
an article of the very best quality and
gets for it the best prices, and is thus
enabled to make his dairy pay. ....-s.
Every dairyman cannot manage every

The industry of railroading has de-
veloped some thrifty characters, among
whom a former employee of the New York,
New Haven & Hartford Road deserves
high rank. He was at one time at work
in the Springfield depot, and while TAX
ing a trunk out of a baggage-car from
Boston he was thrown over and hurt, the
baggage-smashing art being for the time
reversed. The injured employe suffered
terribly, and crawled around on crutches
until the Boston & Albany and the New
Haven Roads united and gave him Sc, 900.
He was cured the next day. Shortly
afterward a man on the Boston & Albany
Read was killed, and the company gave
his widow $4,000 The former cripple
who had scored $4,000 already, soon
married her and thus counted 50 600
He recovered his health so completely
that he was able to work again on the
railroad, but, finally, not being hurt
again within reasonable time, he re-
tired to q farm which he had bought

Death of Little Johnnie RaIble.

About o'clock this morning, Aug. 9th, death came and took away that bright and beautiful boy, only child of our near neigh bors, MT. and Mrs. John Raible, aged year 9 months and 29 days. Daily, almost hour. ly, we had become accustomed to observe the unfolding of his young intellect as he played back and forth in front of the MINER office, and il was special pleasure to many besides ourselves, 10 note. from day to day, the new words and new ideas he was begin ming 10 pick up and add to his store of in formation. Death in any shape is a terrible thing to contemplate, but an instance like this seems really too much, especially for parents, who have been so fond and so proud of their boy, to bear. Life. at best. is but a span, and those whose hopes have been cen tered in their children for solace during the brief yogIs they can hope to be spared on Earth, and who have found these hopos su suddenly and ruthleSsly dashed to tho ground, as so many have within few short weeks. are led earnestly to enquire, "What is life =
 ''lt is a flower which buds and grows
 And withers as the leaves disclose:
 Whose Spring and Fall faint seasons keep,
 Like fits of waking before sleep;
 Then sinks into that fatal mould
 Whoro its fest being was cnrolled.''
 Not so the immortal spirit which goes to bloom ctcrnally as celestial flower in the garden of its Creator. The poet, Milman, beautifully expresses the Christian parents hope on the death of beloved child: "He that zoos forth tender, prattlng boy, Yet, ere he die, to Salem's streets shall come; And Canaan's vines for us their fruits shall
 bear, . '.I .. r And Hermon's bees their honied stores pre-
 pare,
 And we shall kneel again in thankful
 prayer"

The Sunday school at the Church west of Granite Creek, since the advent of Rev. MT.

Churches and Sun day schools are like all other human insti- tutions, and in order to have them prosper. they must be controlled and promoted by men of life and feeling. men whose souls are in the work, men who arc glad they arc religious, and who show satisfaction with their calling by their pleasant manner, rather than by grooming at the world and acting as if religion was burden to them and affecting them with a sort of reverential cholic.
