IHrNCing Old Shoes.

Mr.. Samuel Davies, in an interesting
letter to the Philadelphia Ledger, states
that " throwing old shoes after a bride,
among the enlightened and civilized
nations, may be considered a joke,
though in reality it is relic of super
stition to which the Eastern people,
both Christian and pagan, still cling
with religious fondness and all the pro-
verbal superstition Of the East. In
this country it means joke, if any
thing; in Asia, Turkey in Europe, and
the Southern Provinces of Austria,
where the Moslem and the Greek
church are the ruling religious powers,
as well as in Russia, it means q good
deal, and in fact it forms part of mat
rimonial ceremony. Whilst my father
was missionary in Turkey, under the
auspices of the English Board of For
eign Missions, he married Bosnian Ia
dy, and consequently 1 was born and
raised among the Eastern superstitions.
Every marriage in the Eastern church
must be solemnized in Gods sanctuary.
The bride leaving her parental home is
embraced and kissed by her mother. 1t
is the solemn duty of the latter to
throw the old shoe, which means old
troubles and cares are thrown away, and
new hopes and fortunes may attend
her. Wien the bride arrives at her
new home she is met by her mother-in-
law in front of the house, who throws
at the bride wheat, salt and rice, mean
ing that peace, plenty and prosperity
may come with her. In the East such
habits are religion with the people, and
we can easily trace them centuries be-
fore the advent of Christ. Many of the
practices of those ancient people are
most beautiful in their conceptions and
solemn in their meanings.

Sheriff Wilson, of Palo Pinto coun-
ty. attended the sheriiis' conven-
ton held in Austin in the early part
of January. On Thursday night OF last
week Wilson, while passing crowd OF
men ON one of the principal streets,
heard, or thought he heard, remark
that he construed rs an insult. He i'm
mediately drew his pistol and fired
three shots, two of which hit Sam. Ball,
CITY marshal OF Sherman, and the third
shot struck Mr.. Ellison, a prominent
stock dealer, inficting serious wound
in the hip. Several shots were instant
" fired at Wilson, who was killed on
the spot. Balls wounds are very slight,
one shot mangling finger, and the
other striking q heavy watch. The
watch was destroyed, but it saved the
owners life. Such lawless conduct on
the part OF officers sworn to execute the
laws and preserve peace, within the
sound of the voice of our lawmakers
ut the state capital, ought to have sal
utary influence in promoting the pas
sage of more stringent laws against des-
peradoes and murderers.

They were told that tamale makers were

RICHMOND, Va, January S.-The senate to-
day adopted the following
Resolved, That while we deem the whole
system of tobacco taxation unjust and oppress-
i've upon producers of the great staple of one
section of the country, we heartily endorse
the efforts of our senators and representatives
in congress to procure reduction of the tax
to sixteen cents per pound, and that in view
of the fact that business has been sorely de-
pressed by the long delay of congress to reach
general action on the question we invoke them
to insist on speedy disposition of it and to
employ every legitimate means to consummate
the partial relief desired.

A Natural SOAP Mine.


On Smiths Greek, in Elko county,
New, there is most remarkable stra.
tum Of steatite resting horizontally in q
steep bluff of volcanic matter which
hanks the eastern side of Smiths Greek
valley. The stratum Of steatise is from
three to ten feet in diameter. It is easi-
ly worked and is a yeritable soap mine.
In fact farmers, cattle men and sheep
herders in that region all use the natural
article for washing purposes. Chenni-
cally considered this peculiar clay is q
hydrated silicate Of aluuins, lnagnesia,
potash and lime. When the steatite is
first dug from the stratum it looks pre-
cisely like immense masses of mottled
CASTLE soap, the mottling element being
a small percentage Of iron oxide. Prof.
Stewart received a sample Of this natur-
al SOAP, prepared by a firm in Elko who
have undertaken TO introduce ii into tho
market. II is similar in appearance to
the CASTLE soap sold in large bars.
Nothing is added to the mineral but a
trife alkali and some scenting extracts.
Its detersiye qualities are as powerful as
those of any manufactured soap.

Fish Raising for Market.


At Half Way, station between Au-
burn and Syracuse, N. Y, are the Perry
fish ponds, where brook trout, salmon
trout and California trout are raised for
market. The water in the ponds is
pumped from clear mountain streams.
AL the eggs are packed in moss. The
fish are fed upon the lights or lungs OF
animals, as this kind of meat does not
sink to the bottom, and these trout feed
from the surface. When food is thrown
to them they show rs much eagerness as
q flock of chickens, rushing pell.mell
over each other, throwing the water up
in little sprays and finging it about un-
til one who objects to being showered
steps back. Minnows and small brook
trout are also thrown to them, which are
taken down, Jonah'like, at one swallow.
The large fish are kept apart from the
small ones, even Of the same kind, else
they will, co ntinually illustrate the old
adage, The big fish feed upon the little
ones.

Enrope,s Crop Prospects.

The calamities OF Central and Eastern
Europe seem likely to be supplemented
by season Of dearth, consequent upon
the unfavorable state OF the crops. The
Spanish harvest, though it is not ex-
pected to equal the average, is looking
better than was at 6rst anticipated, and
Sicily, despite the recent devastating
eruption, also makes tolerable show.
On the other hand, Northern Italy is in
a very unpromising condition from the
recent floods, and the same cause has
done much mischief in Hungary like
wise. Russia, however, seems to be the
most unfortunate. Along the whole
northern coast Of the Black sea, from
the Pruth TO the Caucasus, corn-beetles
and grasshoppers have mado terrible
havoc, their ravages being supplement.

which are the curse OF the Russian corn.
