Different Modes.

All over the world it is the fashion to
make wedding gifts-a good old fashion
which has descended from feudal times.
In q start in married life certain
necessaries in the way of furniture,
crockery, and so on, were always &C.
ceptable. Rich people and feudal lords
would not object, on the bridal of their
daughters, to receive presents from
their vassals. In different countries were
different modes. The penny weddings
in Scotland are peculiar. Invited guests
make contributions in money. One
shilling is the general tribute, and half
q crown is a princely offering. Out Of
the sum thus collected the not-very-
costly expenses of the feast were paid,
and the surplus went toward buying
the furniture. In the weddings Of the
poorer classes in ireland this levying
contributions On guests never takes
place. There is collection, however,
to raise sum for literally compensat-
ing the clerical gentleman who @has
tied the knot" and in the house of a
rich farmer this swells up to good
round SUM. In Wales, among the small
farmers and traders. the custom pre-
walls to this day of bidding" not
single guests, but whole families, to a
wedding. That such all event is to
come off, with the where and when, is
duly advertised in the local newspaper,
with a request that all persons who, in
time past, have been similarly obliged
in that manner, will attend, bringing
presents for the bride and groom. Be-
side this, written invitations are sent, so
that the invited guest can scarcely
evade his Ohlipations

Pay OF French Legislators.

It may not be uninteresting to our
readers to give glance at the different
deliberative Assemblies which have sue
ceeded each other in this country since
1889. In that year the number of
representatives was 774-nine per de-
partment and three extra. Each mem
Der received IS francs day, and thus
the Assembly cost 1882 francs daily,
or 33l, 1868 francs month for twenty
four sittings. The whole session of
nine months, therefore, required 2, $751;
622 francs. In addition, 81 300 francs
was allowed for the Bureau, making a
total of 3,O3S, 1922 francs. The members
of the Corps Legislatif, which came
after the Representatives Of the People,
had 10000 francs each per session, with
the obligation of having a carriage for
two legislators. Under the Restoration
the Deputies received no pay. The
President alone received 100000 francs
to meet the expense of receptions.
Under Louis Philippe the members
did not have any salary, but the Pres
ident received 100000 francs. In 1913
the Deputies of the Second Republic,
who were 900 in number, received Is
francs day, or $4,000 francs
per month. The session lasted
nine months and cost 1905, 900
francs, including the President and the
Questors. Under the empire, that is to
say from 1852 to 1870, there were 283
Deputies. They received at first 1000
francs a month during time of the ses-
sions. Afterward they had a fixed sal
ary of 1880 francs. The President of
the Legislative Corps had fixed allow
ance of 100000 francs, and 10000 francs
for costs of receptions. The sessions
of the second empire absorbed $780,
600 francs. In 1871, the Assembly at
Bordeaux was composed of $50 mem
beers, who were paid $50 francs month,
or 5000 francs year. They had their
salaries even during the months when
they did not sit. The allowance of the
President was reduced at this period to
10000 francs, and the Questors to 49,
600 francs. Since 1876 the Chamber
is composed of 548 members, including
the representatives of the French colo
MES. Each member has a fixed allow
ance of $50 francs month. The Pres
ident's salary is 10000 francs, and that
of the Questors $4,000 francs. Inde-
pendently of their salaries, these three
functionaries have numerous privileges,
such as lodging, firing, lighting, attend
ance, etc.-Galignani's Messenger

They Cannot Succeed.

There is certain class of people in
the world who seem destined not to
succeed in anything. The farmer who
thinks he is making good bargain
when everyone else sees that it is e bad
one; the school teacher who does not
know how to win the confidence or in
spire the enthusiasm of his pupils; the
minister whose ways" repel people
when he takes the most pains to win
their good wiil-such persons are found
everywhere. They do the best they
know how, but they don't succeed. It.
is the custom to blame these unfortu-
mates; but surely they are more to be
pitied than blamed.

Stealing Messages.

In several instances portions OF Presl-
dent Lincoln messages were published,
and the matter was attempted to be in
vestigated by the Judiciary Committee
of the House. When it was found that
the inquiry would be likely to lead to
good deal of scandal connected with
the ladies of the White House, it came
to a very abrupt termination by the
President going to the Capitol himself
and directing that the investigation
should be suspended.
The next instance was il the time of
ANDY" johnson, when, through the
Obvious condition of his son Dick,
copy of the message was handed to q
correspondent to read over and see what
he thought of it. The correspondent
took advantage of the opportunity and
had stenographic copy made, returned
the manuscript and pronounced it an
excellent message. The next morning
the President was considerably aston
ished when he found the document in
print.
President Grants military methods
were too much for the ingenuity Of
Washington correspondents, and in no
instance did the text Of his messages
appear before their submission to Con-
gress, except what he gave to one or two
of bis confidential friends or a CORE
spondent. It was the custom of the
General, when he had completed his
message, to take his private secretaries
-Pruden, Sniffin and Lucky-ipto one
of the most remote apartments of the
Executive Mansion, and there set them
to work to make six manifold copies for
the use of the press, which, when fin
ished, we're taken by the President,
placed in an envelope, and held until
the committee of Congress reported
the two houses organized. He then
submitted the manuscript copies for
the use of the two houses, aud, upon
the return of Private Secretaries
Gems. Porter or Babcock, he author
lied the disposing of the six manifold
copies.
While Mr.. Boutwell, was Secretary of
the Treasury, on one occasion his an
nual report was made public in advance
of its transmission to Congress. Upon
investigation it was shown conclusively
that the copy was given out by his pri-
vate secretary. He was Immediately
dismissed and placed on the black list,
and subsequently died in this city IN
absolute poverty, as the punishment of
his breach of faith to his superior. The
present administration seems to have
been very unfortunate with respect to
the premature publication of the Pres
ideut's messages, each message having
been made public in advance Of its
transmission to Congress.
Although, as rule, all the important
features of the messages are antici-
pated, the eagerness to secure the text
always makes the document good
marketable commodity. As high as
$1,000 was offered for President Grants
messages. The last message, however,
was sold for $500, while Secretary
Sherman's report brought $3.50, the
proceeds being divided between three
parties, the purloiner and two middle
men who effected the sale. - Phila-

Youth.

There is nothing like youth. The
sunshine streams upon the flowers.
The blood rushes wildly through the
veins. The air is full of music, and
echoes of happy laughter are borne on
every breeze. ALI the world seems
wrapped in golden mist, and hope, a
white-winged angel, shines in the rosy
heaven of the future. For age, the
rustic of the dead leaves! For SORROW,
the wall of the autumn wind, the sad
November twilight, and the lonesome
splashing of the rain! What have age
and sorrow to do with life? Let them
thrust away their doleful gloom-while

mirth, the silver bells ring, the wine
sparkles, aud the earth is strewn with
roses.-WSllidn1 Wi71ter.

Our news this morning tends to show that Garfield and Arthur are elected by a over wheling majority. A solid South has been met by 8 ssoiid North and to-day the great Democratic party, the pride of our forefathers lies prostrate and bleeding upon the battle field. A warning to all future political parties not to Haunt in the face of the true pat riot and intelligent American citizen d sectional feeling whose only tendency is to estrange the two sections of our country and widen that bloody chasm that all true conservative American cit1- zens have done their utmost to bridge over. By the cry of a solid South the Democratic party have buried their hopes of suc- cess for the next twenty years as clearly and deeply as it has been done for the past twenty years, and the principles for which the war was fought are to-day en- grafted more firmly than ever before in the hearts of all true lovers Of the free institutions of our country. Let the solid South now make one grand resolve that it will no longer attempt to raise dead issues, ami throwing aside sectional feeling, declare i.self willing, as. it is able. to protect every citizen in those just rights that are so dear to every Ameri- can citizen. The light Of fran chise without intimidation, the rights of color as guaranteed to them by the Constitution, and the great and inalienable right of all men of all political beliefs before the supreme law of the land. When they do this, then the conservative men of the North will be found with them in all just and lawful measures that will tend to the advancement of the whole interests of our comlIon country.

The great contest which has, agita;ed the minds of our people all over the country for the past six months has come and gone and now is a thing of the past. We must drop all campaign is- sues and animosities and look to the future accept the situation as it is with feeling of friendliness and spirit of forgetfuliness and forgivness of all things which might have prompted bitterness and partisan feeling. Those who are defeated, let them come out manfu!lv and say "Well we are defeated.' Let us look to the fut- ure and hope for a more success ful contest ill years to come. In the States things are yet awhirl with excitment but gradually abating as the final results comes from the more remote sections.
 In our local affairs everything has again settled down to quiet ude which is certainly becoming a small community and more espe' ciaiiy those who took active part in the campaign and instead of taking chagrin at defeat look up on it philosophicaiy and nlau- fufly reconcile their feelings to the situation, and show to their successful opponents and their friends that they are not unmind- ful of the fact that defeat does not carry with it degreda ion but honor for the straight forward efforts they made for success. Let each and every one use their utmost endeavors to bring about a renewal of that friendliness that existed before the political contest and then we will show ourselves men and citizens worthy the community in which
 we reside.

Resignation of Judge Silent.

A rumor was about town yes terday that Judge Charles Silent, of the third Judical district had resign.
 On meeting Judge Silent this morning, he confirmed the report and stated that he had sent on his resignation some time since. Judge Silent informed us that it was his intention to resign over a year ago, and he would have done so where it not for the attempt made to remove him. This ne- cessitated his holding his position until his official conduct could be thoroughly vindicated, which was done.
 Judge Silent resigns his posi-. ton as he does not wish to be hampered in any way by official duties in the enterprises in which he intends to engage. He has already done much for the min ing interests Of the coun try, and untrammeled by official respyn- abilities, we confidently expect to see him do much more.
 In the trying position which Judge Silent has occupied on the Bench of this District, he has performed his duty atly and conscientiously; and our people generally, without regard to par ty, regret to see him vacate a position which he has filled so we'll.

Settlers in New Mexico who came to this city told a different story. They declared that three times the present force would be none too many to cope With the say. ages, who possessed the advant- ages of a thorough knowledge of the country. and great endurance of heat and fatigue.
 At last the chieftain who has made himself the terror of the border was laid low with his chosen braves by Mexican troops. His death has simplifed matters very much. He is said to have left no successor in ability or in. fluence over the tribe, and the eXtermination of the scattered remnant of the band will be only a question of time. This is a consumation devoutly to be wished for, as the country which these Indians ravaged is rich in mineral wealth, and also offers great inducements to stockmen.

A, Dog Who Takes His Tod.

Barney is in truth @ "drunken dog" who lounges around the So- noma House. Although not half grown, he has acquired a taste for beer and smacks his chops overa "sch ooner" with the vim of a veritabie tcper. Not to put too fine point to it, Barney gets drunk; but even when his legs fail to support his little fat corpo- ration Le evinces great sagacity; he is never found in the way, but when too drunk to walk he staggers off to some quiet corner, or tucks himself snugiy along the edge of the sidewalk, where horses cannot hurt him, and sleeps off his debauch. Some times Barney "swears off," and will go . day or two without touching drop. but will glare and groWl at the beer tub as though it were a personal ene-- my. His reformation rarely lasts more than two days. On the morning of the third he is sure to be found at the door of the bar room, and as soon as he can obtain entrance he rushes to the beer tub and makes up for lost time.-Sonoma Index,

 The gathering of grapes and their conversion into wine is be- ing so busily carried on through out Santa Clara county, and, as far as can now be seen, the unus- uaIly late period at which the grapes this season have fully ripened, will be no detriment to the quality or quantity of the product. Heavy rains have, of course, to he dreaded, as hurry ing fern entation on the fruit be- fore being gathered, but the weather wise consider the pres. ent heavy night and moruing fogs as indicative of a delay of tho descent of rain, and we hope that they will prove correct in this prognostication, 50 as to al low this valuable fruit to be secured in perfect order, as well as to give agricultnrists a pro- longed period for gathering the considerable quantity of grain still exposed. and which, as well as grapes, would suffer injury from rainy weather and moist atmosphere.
