It was generally expected by the railroad en-

similar advance on all other roads, But thus far
none Of the lines have eignitied their intention
to raise wages, and there is much grumbttng and
dissatisfaction on that account When their
wages were reduced the promise was held forth
as tho business would warrant it. The
roads during the past six months have been
doing better business than ever before, and
the prospects nre that they will continue to be
prosperous. Therefore the employees think 1t IS
no more than right that the managers shallkec

sands of miles by land and sea to China
until in the very antipodes she will
stand by the side of the man she loves
Very few of the ladies, as everybody in
town knows, have been more popular or
more blessed with friends than Miss
Allie Barney. Her father has been a
merchant here for years, and she herself
has combined so many graces of mind
and person that her circle was one Of
the widest in the city. She is 20 years
OF age, petite and a brunette with verv
dark eyes and hair. Besides la beaute
du diable which her youth gives her,
she is a wonderfully pretty little lady,
and there is not single person that
knows her who does not regret her de-
parture.
The bridegroom, DR.. Hall, has now
been in China for some time. He has
established himself at Pekin, and is in
high favor with the imperial court,
where dentistry is science hitherto un-
known. He has many friends in st.
Louis, all of whom are congratulating
him warmly on his good luck in such a
helpmeet.

There is a romantic veil over the whole
picture of this wedding that, beyond the
social prominence of the young lady
makes it interesting. Evangeine fol.
lowed her lover all the weary way from
Acadia to the tangled brakes of the Mis-
sissippi, and this lady travels to the
other end of the globe, and leaves home
and friends for his sake. She braves
the perils of long sea journey with the
prospect at the other end of nothing
that is not strange and much that
is repulsive. She is going to live
among a people that are alien to her in
every thought, word and feeling, and she
is doing all this simply and only for love
When she does return and the family
are reunited, what queer tale OF adven'
ture she will have to tell.

Colored Houses.

The latest product of professionalism
in the way of street ornament is the col
ored house. A few years ago, apart from
shop, such thing was unknown in
London. When it came in landlords
wept for it, newspapers rallied at it, and
the public smiled and jeered. But the
painted house has gone through the
usual course of all reforms-abuse, ridi-
cuel, imitation. Welbec street REV. II.
X. Haweis) took the initiative in 1873 in
house painted moss-green, relieved by
red and black in the reveals of the
window. of the balcony--an effort almost
simultaneously supported by the Town
send House (Mr. Alma Tadema) in the
Regents Park. The shock was at first
so great to the popular mind that little
groups would collect and stare, opposite
as if expecting rare show to emerge.
But in year following one or two
neighboring houses began TO lap little
green and chocolate on their window
sills in timid recognition of the improve
ment in the aspect. A second house in
Wclbeck street turned red, with a sage
green door. Sir Chas. Lyell, in Harley
street, had ventured on a bright blue
door; but this vivid color, being unsup-
ported by color elsewhere on the facade.
was not successful as a contribution to
the world of art. Year by year the
parents Of the movement were amused
to see how abuse was melting into that
sincerest form Of flattery-imitation.
As street after street began to furbish
itself up and don rainbow hues, the OBJ
tusest people suddenly awoke to perceive
that they possessed a pretty cornice, and
they picked 1t out in two drabs in lieu
OF one; then they thought that pseudo
Greek forms must venture upon the hues
of Greek pottery-black, red and pale
yellow. This having happily kind of
precedent in the reviving admiration of
classicisms caught the awakened fancy,
and it is now curious to see how in May
fair and Belgrayia numerous houses have
thus been copying each other in every
shade of black, red and yellowstone
exceedingly well done, others unintelli-
gently. Still the worst of them are an
improvement on diity white, for moth
ing in our climate wears worse than
that.

A Scheme for Colonizlng Palestine.
London Times,

The Rev. Geo. Nugee gave a lecture
recently at st. Georges Hall, London,
on a proposal for colonizing Palestine by
Jews, and referred incidentally to the
existing establishment of the Jewish
colony of fify-fvc inhabitants near Jalla.
After some statistics relating to the mod
ern Jews, who he said, had shown them
selves so alive to the advantages of edu-
cation that they number half the UniveI-
sity students, half the barristers and
more than half the merchants of Vienna,
the lecturer proceeded to develop a plan
which he said had met with the appro-
val of many Jews, and had been commu-
nicated by Mr.. Lawrence Oliphant to
the Sultan, who received it favorably,
for establishing n Jewish colony on the
east bank of the Jordan.
The plan was 10 purchase 100000
acres, to introduce n European element
into its government, and to settle colo
MES there, either of Jewish peasant farm
ers or Jewish farmers employing the
labor Of the indigenous fellahin. The
incursions Of the Arabs were danger,
but might be bought off, lie had sent
a circular to Mr. Goschen the new special
envoy to Constantinople who had ex'
pressed deep interest in the scheme.
The lecturer described the country
which was to be settled as exceedingly
fertile, and identified with the land al
loted to Reuben, Dan, and the half tribe
of Manasset.

AN ENGLISH OPINION.
priucess' kDmaDce

About the recent marriage Of the
Princess Frederica of Hanover there was
not little romance. Here" said q
London correspondent, "is Il princess
marrying private secretar a descend
ant of the llanoyerIan kings marrying
an undlstnguished baron, doing it
against the will Of her brother, making
her friends the Cambridges furious, and
calling forth the sneerS of the imperial
family in Germany. She is scnCouragedb by
the Queen of England, whoapplies to the
Emperor William for her dowry, and
braves the wrath Of her family to satisfy
the will of her relatives. The Princess
Frederlca has loved the Baron Rammin-
gen for years, she sought long ago for
permission to make HIM her husband.
For his sake she had refused more than
one advantageous match> 1t is said
when Prince Leopold began to show
something more to her than a mere
friendly attachment she determined to
appeal to him as the favorite son Of the
Queen. Like true knight he devoted
himself to her cause. He urged his
mother until she caught some of her
cons enthusiasm; he arranged matters
which without him would have been
difficult; he turned her critics into her
partisans; and so it comes about that
sister ef crownlcss king is able with
even something like pomp to marry for
love"

America a Literary Province of EnglandI
London Literary World.

Even still in spite of the celebrity of a
few names who have forced themselves
into the first rank Of literature, there is
certain air Of provincialIsm which
American writer's have not yet shaken off
What Athens was to Alexandra and
Syracuse for long centuries after she had
yielded up the political supremacy to
her colonies and dependencies on the
iurthest shores of the middle sea, that
the mother country is still to her plan
tatlons beyond the ocean and in both
hemispheres. We may easily forecast
the time when these dependencies will
be politically independent; but it may
be centuries (such is the slow rate OF
linguistic change), before the intellec-
tual center of gravity will be removed
from these British isles. This may be
regarded either as patriotic boast or
ring Of that false imperialism only too
common in our day-who shall say
which?-but If false, it is a delusion
shared by educated Americans. They
are the readiest to admit that at pres
ent, and for some time to come, Amer
lean literature must conform to English
standards; and they come to this coun-
try for what we should call its European
hallmark.

The Camel and the Miller.

Did you ever hear the fable of the
camel and the miller? One night mil.
Ter was walked up by his camel trying to
get his nose into the tent. Its very
cold out here" said the camel; II only
want to put my nose in" The miller
made no objection. After a while the
camel asked leave to have his neck in,
then his fore feet; and so, little by little,
it crowded in its whole body. This, as
you may well think, was very disagree
able to the miller, and he bitterly COM
planned to the forthputting beast. "lf
you don't like it, you may CO." an
swered the camel. As for me, I've got
possession, and / shall stay. You can't
get rid of me now" Do you know what
the camel is like? Guard against the
first approaches, the most plausible ex-
cuses, even the nose OF sin. If you do
not, you are in danger. 1t will surely
edge itself slowly in, and you are over

His Mothers Boy.

In one of the public schools of San
Francisco, a few days ago, youth bub-
bling over with hig gh spirits violated a
long g-establisned rule, and was sum
moned to the bar Of judgment. With
many sobs and tears he confessed the
soft impeachment "Have your mother
call Tomorrow" the teacher remarked,
with awful and ominous significance.
His maternal ancestor appeared on the
following day, and, after being duly and
publicly informed of the f1agrant breach
Of discipline her son had been guilty OF,
was requested to say if she would punish
him herself or have the teacher attend
to the matter. She preferred the latter
course, and urged that the blows be well
laid on. The next day was appointed
for such unpleasant affairs, the youth
was summoned TO the front. He came
with hang-dog look and some trepida'
ton. An Grafton on youthful frivolities
having been duly delivered, the boy
was ordered to extend his hand beneath
an upraised ruler. He refused, and in
accordance with the usual custom in
such cases, was spread across the teach
er's knees, and the punishment was ad-
ministered in another quarter than the
one originally intended. For some un-
explained reason the most energetic
blows fell without the desired effect. A
consultation Of male teachers ensued
and the offender was conducted to u
private room and his wardrobe subjected
to n rigid examination. On the interior
of his bifurcated garments, at a locality
of great strategical importance in such
an emergency, was thick flannel baby's
frock securely attached. "Who sewed
that on2" demanded the principal in a
voice of thunder. "My mother" an

contrary seldom occurs. More people
miss local trains than express trains
