Weddings in Urua, Central Africa,
last three or four days. Commander
Cameron attended one Of them. Alithe
people in the village were there, he SAYS.
Some men blowing pipes and beating
drums stood in the centre Of great
circle of people, who danced around
them, groaning and bowling, and max
ing great noise. This was kept up
day and night. Suddenly, at the end of
the third day, the bride came out Of 3
hut, dressed in all the finery the village
could muster She wore a small apron
made Of piece Of linen which had been
given to the Chief, and was adorned with
feathers, beads, and shells. She was
carried on the shoulders of very stout
woman, and supported by q woman on
each side. Being brought into the midst
of the dancing people, she jumped up
and down on the shoulders Of the woman.
A number of beads and shells were Civ
en- to her, which she scattered about in
discriminatory, and the people scrambled
for them, rs they were considered to
possess some virtue rs charms. The
jumping up and down of the bride was
carried on so theoretically that the skin
was completely worn off the shoulders
of the woman who carried her. Then
the husband, great big fellow, came
in, picked up his bride, put her under
his arm, and walked off with her.

LABOR TROUBLES.
Strike Fever i'm st. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, August 22.-There has been
very strong disposition to strike for
higher wages manifested among the me-
chanics and some classes OF labOrers
here during the past few weeks. The
coopers' strike OF more than month
ago has not yet been arranged. Several
of the bosses are still holding out against
the demand of the men. The lumber
steamsters' did not amount to anything
worthy OF notice, but the action OF the
cigar makers two or three days ago has
become so general that nearly all the
members OF that craft have stopped work,
and quite number OF manufacturers
have agreed to pay the advance asked.
Yesterday there was q movement among
the stove mOulders for an increase of 10
per cent on piece work and restoration
OF what they call board prices. This has
been refused. Nearly all the foundry
proprietors and most all the stove
moulders in the city have stopped work
to-day. The street car conductors and
drivers have now got the fever to some
extent, but they have determined upon
no plan of action as yet. They do not
ask more pay, but a less number OF
working hours. They now average
about fifteen hours.
