"To an English Radical the conservatism OF the

MATRIMONIAL CUsToMs.-In Brittany
there is sa id to prevail very singular
matrimonial custom. On certain fete-
days the young ladies appear in red petit
coats, with white or yellow borders
around them. The number denotes
the portion the father is willing to give
his daughter. Each white band, repre-
senting silver, betokens one hundred
francs of rent, and each yel low band de-
notes gold. and stands for thousand
francs year. Thus, young farmer
who sees face that pleases him has only
to glance at the trimmings Of the petit
coats, to learn in an instant what amount
accompanies the wearer.
Theodore Taine says Of the woman OF
Tunis:
"a girl, after she is betrothed, is coop
ed up in a small room, with shackles oi
gold and silver upon her wrists. If she
is to be married to n man who has dis
charged, dispatched or lost former wife
the shacllles which the former wife wore
are put upon the new BRIDES limbs and
she is filled to the proper thickness. The
food used for tn is custom, worthy of bar
barians, is a seed called "drough," ;" which
is OF extraordinary fattennirg qualities

FIGURES ON BODIES STRUCK BY
LhGHTNING.-The leaf-like figures which
are SO frequently found upon the bodies
of men and animals struck by lightning,
are generally believed to be impressions
sf the foliage near the spot where the
acc cident has occurred, made by the
lightning in some manner analogous TO
the process Of photography. There are
strong reasons, however, in support ofthe
proposition advanced by Mr.. C. Tomlin
son, F. r. s., that these figures are not
derived from trees at all, but represent
the fiery hand OF lightning itself, the
trunk being traced by the main discharge,
while the spray-like branches proceed
from the electric feelers first cast out,
as it were, to find the line Of least resis-
tance. The sensation of cobwebs being
drawn over the face, which has some
times been felt by ailors just before their
ship was struck by lightning, is by him
attributed to these sprays Of electricity
preceding the main discharg. 1t is never
theless true, that an impression OF neigh
boring metallic objects, such as a horse
shoe, for example, frequently occurs with
marvellous distinctness upon the body ol
the person struck.

CREMATIoE.-Ths stealing of A. T.
Stewards body is furnishing new argu-
ment in favor of burning instead of bury

the st. Marks churchyard affair is known,
there is a growing feeling in favor OF
cremation, and it is already practiced in
several important cities. In the new
cemetery of Gotha, a "columbarium'
has been completed, and it is announced
that expense of cremation in it is 10 be

custom can be introduced in this country,
even at double the price, it would soon

This will seem almost incredible ia
many, but it is proved beyond doubt that
the lines were in existence, and in one
instance published, before Grant left the
Executive Chair. Mr.. Hayes is the
nineteenth President; there has been
battle smoke" enough in a political
sense, when are taken into consideration
the recent Electoral troubles. Can the
last two lines by any possibility refer to
the sage of Gramercy Park and the sys-
tematic dispatching he has received al
the hands Of the II 56une?
But Columbia shall again
Rise, and fairer be than then (sic).
Brother shall with brother speak
Whom he hath not seen week;
Letters shall go meath the deep,
Likewise over the mountain steep;
Men shall speak to brazen ears,
That shall be mouths in after years:
Words spoken shall be sent through post,
So no syllable be lost
drop of water shall have then
The force of many thousand men.
1t does not take very fanciful imagi-
nation to draw from the above a clear
indication Of Prof. Edison's numerous
wonders Of invention. The alleged mo-
tor of Mr.. Keely, the Philadelphia me-
chanic, claims to utilize "a drop Of wa
ter" with such effect that thousands OF
pounds pressure are obta ined.

and clearly written in imitation of the old
weirds. Whether the rain falling las

modern weather predictions is a question
for the individual readers to pass upon.
Ghosts shall guide the plow, and rain
And snow shall fall as men ordain;
The commonest Of stone or stick
Other shall be than long, broad, thick;
Here and in foreign cline
Men shall be at the same time.
Bread ye shall from ashes bake.
Ice they shall to diamonds make.
And the salt seas th cir thirst shall slake.

VNGRACIOUS.

The Minneapolis Tribune of last evening
thus administers the snub direct to those
who have extended sympathy or cash:
We wish to give the outside public to under
stand what is the exact fact, that Minneapolis
is in need of no extraordinary sympathy on &C
count of the pecuniary results of the recent
willing to care for the wives and orphans of the
killed, and are proceeding theoretically and
generously with that work; and as for the
burnt mills, there are already many scores of
men at work rebuilding them, and by the time
the next crop is harvested, Minneapolis will be
turning out more -four per day than at any pre-
vious day in her history.
The display of independence is very we'll
when the person Or persons assuming it
speak only for themselves. When, as in this
case. it affects widows and orphans who are
in no way responsible, it is to be deplored.
Minneapolis is probably able to take care of
these afflicted persons permanently, but if she
does it will be the first instance of the kind
which ever occurred. That Minneapolis will
relieve their temporary wants is probably
true, but that there is no occasion for outside
aid is not true With all that will be done
in and out of Minneapolis, year from now
will find the widows and orphans now receiv-
ing aid again in want. Of course, after such
an announcement, even though unauthor-
lied, subscriptions in St. Paul and other
outside points will practically cease, and the
result of the bombast will be loss to the
innocent victims of the casualty.
