Venetian Marriages.

The Venetians have had practical
and strictly business-like way of arrang-
ing marriages from the earliest times.
The shrewdest provision has always
been made for the good Of tbe State,
private and public interest being con-
suited the small matter of the afiec-
tions has been left to the chances of asso-
citation, and it does seem that Venetian
society has ever dealt severely with hus-
bands or wives whom incompatibilities
forced to seek consolation outside of
matrimony. Herodious relates that the
Illyrian Veneti sell their daughters at
auction to the highest bidder; and, the
fair being thus comfortably placed in
life, the hard-favored were given to
whomsoever would take them, with such
dover as might be considered reasona-
BILE compensation. The auction was
discontinued in Christian times,
but marriage contracts still par
took of the form of public and
half-mercantile transaction. At COM
paratively late period Venetian fathers
went with their daughters to a great an
nual matrimonial tair at San Pietro Of
CASTILLO Cilvolo, and the youth Of the
lagoons repaired thither to choose wives
from the number of maidens. These
were all dressed in white, with hair loose
about their neck, and each bore her little
dover in little box slung over her
shoulder by a ribbon. 1t is supposed
that there was commonly an understand.
ing between each damsel and some youth
in the crowd. As soon as all had paired
off, the Bishop gave them sermon and
his benedictlon, and the young men
gathered up their brides and boxes and
went away welded. This going to San
Pietro's, selecting wife and marrying
her on the spot, out of hand, could only
have been the contrivance of straight
forward practical race. Among the
common people betrotnals were
damaged with even greater ease
and dispatch till very late day in
history, and in the record of certain
trial which took place in l443 there is
all account of one of these brief and un-
ceremonious courtships DoOna Catar-
ussa, who gives evidence, and whom /
take to have been a worthless, idle Cos
sip, was one day sitting at her door
when Pietro Of Trento passed selling
brooms, and said to her:
madonna, give me some nice girl to
be my wife"
As Donna Catarussa thought at on
Of suitable match, she SAID
''In faith Of God, 1 know one for you.
Come again tomorrow"
So then both met next day, and the
woman chosen by Donna Catarnssa was
asked
"Wouldst thou like to have Pietro for
Thy husband, as God commands the Holy
Church r.
"Yes, she answered.
And PietrO being asked the like ques-
ton, answered:

MURDER AT P-OCAHONTAs,
ARKANSAS.
A Cold BIoOded sIurder without
Warming.

About nine o'clock last Tuesday
morning, a merchant Of Pocahontas,
Arkansas, named Charles Nichols, a
partner in the house Of Levi, Hecht
& Co., all well known here, was shot
through the heart and instantly
killed by a lawyer named William
Means. The circumstances, as ascer-
tanned from persons who were present
at the time, are as follows: Mr..
Nichols was seated on one Of the fixed
stools in front of the counter in his
own store talking with a man about
delivering a load of lumber. Means
walked quietly into the store, pur-
chased a pistol from one of the clerks,
handing him a twenty dollar bill in
payment and getting six dollars in
change, Mr.. Nichols giving the clerk
the necessary change from his pocket.
Means then deliberately loaded the
pistol, stepped up in front of Nichols,
said prepare yourself" and fired, the
ball passing directly through his heart
and causing death in less than three
minutes. The murdered man fell from
the stool upon which he had been
seated, and the man, to whom he had
been talking, undertook to lift him up
on the counter, calling for help. The
murderer was noticed to turn from
where he stood, near the door way,
walk back, look down on the pros
trate form of his victim and say: Il
ought to have killed him a year ago,
and if any of his friends wish to take
it up, / will treat them in the same
manner" He then walked out Of the
store, cast the pistol he held into the
street, strolled about for a while and
called upon a couple of young
men to take him into custody. The
wife Of the murderer hearing Of the
tragedy, rushed from her house into
the street in a frantic state Of mind,
begged to be killed by some one and
finally made her way TO the side Of her
husband who doggedly said: &c
away, 90 home, Lucy, don't mind me
and give yourself no trouble about
this matter" After she had gone, he
called for whisky and seemed not t
realize the enormity Of his offense
He had been drinking some previous

THE PEOPLE.
What They Think and Say in
Letters.

By every mail a budget Of letters
comes to this office, containing sub
scriptions for the LEDGER, with a few
remarks thrown in, merely to give
vent to the minds Of the writer's, and
to impart information regarding the
political situation as it appears in the
vicinity where the writers reside.
To show up the outlook in a slight
degree, a few extracts from letters re-
ceived this morning are herewith APP
pended. From the sentiments ex-
pressed, it is plainly apparent that the
taxpayers are terribly in earnest In
this canvass, and that when election
time comes they will rise in their
might to rebuke the ta~x-eaters, by
rolling up arousing majority for the
peoples candidate, the Hon. S. f.
Wilson. Let the good work go on.
The prospect is cheerful, and grows
more so day by day. Well may Judge
Wright look grim and feel moody over
the aspect Of affairs. But to the

Chatham Island, lying off the east

as it is one of the few habitable points
Of the globe where the day ofthe week
changes. 1t is just on the line of de-
marcation between dates. There high
twelve on Sunday, or Sunday noon,

dian begins. Sunday comes into a
mans house on the east side, and be-
gins Monday by the time it passes out
Of the western door. A nan sits down

it is Monday noon before he finishes
it. Their Saturday is Sunday and
Monday becomes suddenly transferred
