THE ENGLISH MISSION.
! WASHINGTON, Oct. 20 The name oil
!Mr. John Welsh, OF Pennsylvania, is
prominently mentioned in connection
with the English mission. He stands
high in the estimation of the Admins.
,tration, and will no doubt receive the
appointment, provided the Cameron fac.
.tion can be pacitied; otherwise the ap
pointment will 60 to some other State.
The friends of Senator cameron express
the opipion that he will offer no objec-
,tion to the appointment of any other
gentleman from Pennsylvania. They
look upon the position as one of the III os t
honorable within the gift of the Admin
astration, and they regard its tender to
fennsylVanta as a compliment that
should not be declined. They hold that
no personal or factional feeling should
be allowed to stand in the way to pre-
vent this high office being conferred
npon some one Of Pennsy ylvania's hon
ored sons. 1t is more than likely that
ibis sort of spirit will prevail, and that
the English mission will go to Pennsyl-
yania after all.
RUSSIAN CATTLE DISEASE.
The Secretary of the Treasury has
given instructions to Customs officers
10 prevent the landing Of any Russian
hides supposed to be infected. This Or
der is in consequence of dispatch from
the U.ited States Consul at Odessa,
stating that disease has broken out
among the cattle in Southern Russia,
from which thousands have died and
are dying.

The fact that the Russians a!c using R0u-
mauia as the territory through which 10 make
their passage across the Danube gives that
country a certain interest, and it may be that
those who have only old aliases to consult
will be puzzled 10 find where that country is
located. Roumania is the name given to the
united provinces Waluchia and Moldavia
(the name by which they are designated on
the old maps which were consolidated and
guaranteed autonomy under Prince Of their
own election by the treaty of Paris in 1896.
The new government was organized in the
following year. 1t comprises Il part CT the
territory which, under the Roman empire,
was known as Dacia, and the people take
their language and characteristics from the
settlement of the province by Roman soldiers
in the second century, after the conquest o!
the Dacians, who were among the most for.

ing provinces. The chief city is Bucharest,
with q population Of about 2 quarter Of Il
million, and the E0unanians are fond o!
designating It as a new Paris. The language
spoken has been definitely c!aSsed among the
Romance languages, 10 which the French,
Spanish, italian, and Portuguese belong, aud
the people are described TO be 0. the same
mcrcGrial character as the French and Ital-
iaus. In later times the two provinces OF
Wallachia and 0Ioldavia were alternately IN
der the QiCtatiOn Of the Russian and Turkish
empires. After the Russian war with Turkey,
in 1928, Russia exercised proteCtorae over
them tll the peace following the war of 1866,
when they were consolidated as Roumania,
and the Independence Of the new country was
recognized by both Turkey and Russia. Tie
sympathy OF the Roumanlan people is sup.
posed to be largely with Russia.

A SIMPLE CUREFoR DRUNKENNESS
A Brooklyn man writes to the New
York Sun as follows:
have read with interest all the
letters in the Sun in regard to drunk
enness and the remedies for it. As
yet none have prescribed what l know
to be the q sure cure. Idrank more
intoxicating liquor from the year 1857
to the last day of 1873 than any other
person I ever knew or heard of, and
in the meantime, knowing this sure
cure, did not practice it on myself,
but, for fun, did practice it on many
others, and effected many permanent
cures. The remedy of cure is this:
When n person finds he must have q
drink, let him take drink of water
say two or three swallows-as often
as the thirst or craving may desire.
Let him continue this practice. His
old chums will laugh; but let him per-
severe, and it will not be o week be-
fore the appetite Of any stimulant we'll
disappear altogether, and water will
be taken to quench tho natural thirst.
If at any time the victim should feel
a craving, let him take the first OPP
portunity and obtain q swallow of wa
ter, and he can pass and repass all
saloons. When he goes home at
night he will feel satisfied and be So
Der and have money in his pocket.
I commenced this practice the first
day of 1874, and never think of TAX
ing drink of stilnulants.

and set on by dogs.
"Thee's given him a bad wound,
friend Levering," said the Quaker
on getting information of the two
incidents just mentioned, "and il
will be thy own fault if thee does not
kill him."
Not long afterwards, in the face OF
an approaching storm, aud while
Dick Hardy was hurrying to get in
some clover hay, his wagon broke
down Mr.. Levering who saw from
one of his fields the incident, and un-
derstood what its loss might occa-
sion, hitched up his own wagon, and
sent it over to Dicks assistance.
With q storm coming on that might
last for days aud ruin from two to
three tons of hay, Dick could not
decline the offer, though it went
against the grain to accept favor
from tho man he had hated for years,
and injured in so many ways.
On tho following morning Mr..
Levering had visit from Dick Hardy.
1t was raining fast. "Ive come, J"
said Dick, stammering and confused,
and looking down on the ground in
stead of into Mr.. Levering's face,

here that wouldn't do as much for
nei3hbor in time of need. Still, if
you feel embarrassed-i you don't
wish 70 stand my debtor, pay me- in

Dick Hardy raised his eyes slowly,
and looking in strange. wondering
way at Mr.. lowering, said: Shall

reached out his hand. Hardy
graspcd it with quick, short grip.
aud then, MS if to hide his feelings
that were becoming too strong,
dropped it and wen! off hastily.
"Theo's killed him?" said the
Quaker, on his next meeting with
lowering; thy enemy is dead?"
"Slain by kindness" answered
Paul Leverins, (Which you sup
piled"
"No, thee took it from Gods ar
mory, where all men may equip
themselves without charge, and be-
come invincible," replied the Quaker.
"And I trust, for thy peace and
safety, thee will never use any other
weapons in fighting with thy neigh

WEDDING CusToMs A HUNDRED YEARS
AGO. Watson in bis "Aunals of Phil
adelphia, has the following refer
cnces to some of the peculiar wedding
customs that once prevailed in our
city. The bride of to-day escapes a
host of annoyances to which her
sreat-grandmother was subjected:
The wedding entertainments of
olden times were very expensive and
harrassing to the welded. The
house of the parents would be filled
with company to dine, the same COM
pany would stay to tea and supper.
For two days punch was dealt in pro-
fusion. The gentlemen saw the
groom on the first floor, and then as
cended to the second floor where they
saw the bride; there every gentleman,
eyea one hundred in day kissed her.
Even the plain Friends submitted 10
these things. l have known rich
families which had one hundred and
'%enty persons to dine-the same
Who had signed the certificate of mar
rage at the Monthly Meeting; these
also partook Of tea and supper. As
,hey formerly passed the Meeting
t"Ice' the same entertainment was re-
r"aiei. Two days the male friends
would call and take punch; and all
would Kiss the bride. Besides this,
The married pair for two weeks saw
large tea parties at their home, having
IN attendance every night the grooms-
men aud bridesmaids. To avoid ex-
pehse aud trouble, Friends have since
made 1t sufficient TO pass but one
Meeting When these marriage en-
ornaments were made, il was ex-
