Marrying in Fun.

One of those smart young women
who marry just for fun has got herself
into trouble at Franklin, Penn. She
has also got herself into Jail. Miss
Carrie Smith last October married Mr..
Joseph Stock just in fun, and fine
sport it was, no doubt. Last week,
however, Miss Carrie married Mr..
Phil Lovridge, of Pittsburg, in down
right earnest, and they had but fairly
started on their bridal trip when Stock
turned up and had the lady arrested
on a charge of bigamy. and her new
husband was taken into custody for
his unlawful treatment of the seventh
commandment. By this time the
lady WHO is only Is, is fully convinced
that getting married for fun is not
such humorous thing as it it is
cracked up to be. Romantic young
women, whose moderate intellectual
appetite is amply satisfied by tho light
story papers, will doubtless go on DO
ing this thing SO long as they can find
men simple enough or dishonest to
help them in it..

THE Republicans in the Legislature

perfect organization of the Republican
party. They met in caucus last
Thursday evening and passed the fol-

following are the Executive and Dis

strength; and in organization there is
victory; and
Whereas, The present uncertain

as to require more thorough and COM

THE influence that Murphy an{
masses of the people whom they ad
dress, day after day and night after
night, is as wonderful and extensive as
it is salutary and satisfactory 1t may
be that some of the methods they adopt
are not just exactly what a perfect
Judgment would entirely approve, but
without question the work they are
accomplishing is great. Everywhere
they are received with keartiest well
come. The long continued depression
of business everywhere, and the con-
sequent impecunious condition of the
laboring classes have, 1t seems, especi-
ally prepared them to listen to the ap-
peals and arguments of sound and
solid sense. 1t is not difficult to show
them that their present pitiable po-
dition would have been decidedly
more comfortable had they saved, in
the days that are dead, the cents
and the dollars that they SO freely
transferred to the rumseller. And so
the poor man. who by his very priva-
tons has been "clothed" and restored
to his right mind" is everywhere
taking kindly to the pledge.
Other people are looking into, and
becoming interested in. this grand
temperance reform. Our clergymsn
are waking up to the necessity of
sounding forth the exceeding sinful
ness of intemperance, and we should
not be surprised if some of the bold
est of them, ere long, selected for a.
text the startling words o. Scripture
q No dr. unksrd shall inherit the king
dom OF Heaven" The soft, sleek
words that many of them have been
in the habit Of using when referring to
this monstrous evil, in many quarters,
are being abandoned, and sterner
and more solid sentences are now
shot of. This very decided i'm
in pulpit literature is hav-
ing a wholesome effect. Again, our
business men, whose trials and troubles
are and have been legion for almost a |
ustrum, and who in former genera
lions. when the drinking custom was
counted as proper, would have rushed |
light through rum into ruin. are now
ldays exercising a better spirit.
spirit of economy. Sound economy
Ilways insists upon a sound body in
ound mind as an indispensable neces-
ity. Whisky prevents either. and SO
is losing its power over thinking

On Friday night, at the conclusion
Of his regular Plymouth Church lee
txrs, Henry Ward Beecher made his
first appearance as military divine
heing on that occasion conducted to the
armory of the Nineteenth Regiment OF
the New York National Guards and
sworn in. as a regimental chaplin.
Nearly 1000 persons were present at
the interesting ceremony and the great
preacher was greeted with enthusiastic
cheers, to.which he responded by COM
plimeat;ng his regiment and speaking
at length of the benefits of citizen
soldicry. Mr.. Beeehcr has been mea-
.ured for his uniform and will, at the
next reglmental meeting, appear IN the
dazzling glories of a chapeau, with
white cockade, blue, rcd and white
reeimentals, a dashing cardinal sash
and parade sword; inauguration fails
to comprehend the doughty figure o.
the Brooklyn divine, in so fantastic
costume.

Logging by Steam.

The Chicago Northwestern Lumber
man has the following article en-
change in the manner of logging,
which at no distant day may cease TO
be novelty:
The continued lack &C snow for
hauling logs induced lumbermen to
cast about for some other and surer
method of securing their winters
stock. Time has demonstrated that
lack Of driving floods is no bar to the
iogger's enterprise, AZ he circumvents
nature by constructing great reser-
scirs, from which he lets out the water
1T will with which to drive the other
hung up logs. Now that nature has
taken him upon another tack, as it
we're, and begun TO Withhold the snow
upon which he depends to get his
stock to the stream, he il taking up
the glove and laying other plans for
building railroads to haul his logs
over, thereby not only insuring the
safe delivery of every stick, but actu-
ally cheaper than those of muscle and
snow.
There is another question involved
in this idea of substituting tram-roads
for teams, which is of no little impor-
lance. 1t is we'll known that the tend
ency Of the times is to Capitalization
in conducting the lumber business.
From enc cause and another, the re-
naming pine lands of the Northwest
are passing Into the possession of large
owners. If every operator had posi-
tive assurance that all the logs he
could cut would reach the mills, We
are inclired to the opinion that the
knowledge would have a salutary
influence in keeping the supply within
the demand. Too much Of an excuse
for heavy stocking is made of the
presumption that the legs may hang
up They invariably come down. and
just in time to send prices down with
them.
All of the pine tiuber can not
stand within three miles of the driving
streams When the matter of long
hauls is considered it is a question
whether or not the properly constructed
railroad will not deliver the logs or
tn. banks with less expense thar
teams, letting alone the problem oil
snow. 1t is now being agitated il
various sections and there is strong
probability that number will be pu
into operation during the present sea
son. 1t is rumored that such a pro
ject is already on foot at Manistee

Some trouble has bean experience

overcome by proper investigations,
