his obituary as follows The late

them that needed hanging wanted it,
Mr.. Calcraft was sent for, and worked

Different Modes.

All over the world it is the fashion to
make wedding gifts good old fashion
which has descended from fendal times.
In start in married life certain
necessaries IN the way of furniture,
crockery, and SO on, were always ac-
ceptable. Rich people and feudal lords
would not object, on the bridal of their
daughters, to receive. presents from
their vassals. In different countries we're
different modes. The penny weddings
in Scotland are peculiar. Invited guests
make contributions in money. One
shilling is the general tribute, and half
a crown is prlncely 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 III the house OF
rich farmer this swells up to a 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
wedding That such an event is to
come off, with the where and when, is
duly advertised III the local newspaper,
with 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
eyade his obligations.

AN astronomical day commences at
noon, and is counted from the first to

commences at midnight and is counted
from the first to the twelfth hour. A
nautical day is counted as civil day,
but commences, like an Astronomical
day, from noon.
IT is quite commonly supposed that
before the time of Columbus the true
form of the earth was not known. This
is an erroneous notion. Aristotle, a
Greek philosopher of the fourth cent
ury before our era, gave many of the
now-accepted reasons for believing the
earth to be sphere.
ELEVATED situations are most suit
able for the growth of coffee; the trees
are raised from slips, which are allowed
four or five years to grow before they
are cropped; they attain the height of
ten feet, and bear from thirty to fifty
years. 1t is chiefly cultivated in Arabia
the southern states of North America,
South America, Java and Ceylon.
CARAT is a weight used by gold
smiths and jewelers.. Originally the
Kaura bean was used for this purpose; j;
hence the name. a carat is weight
of four grains, when used in weighing
diamonds, and when used in reference
to the fineness of gold, pure gold is
supposed to weigh twenty-four carats of
twelve grains each. Coin is usually
twenty carats fine, while gold used for
ornaments and jewelry varies from
eighteen carats down as low as twelve
and even ten carats. The alloy is
usually silver.
The first railroad in the United States
was short road built from the granite
quarries Of Quincy, Mass, to the Nepon-

the blocks Of granite that were used in
building the Bunker Hill monument, at
Boston. 1t was small affair, with
wooden rails. It was constructed about
1927, and was single-track road three
miles long. The ties were of granite,
seven and half feet long, placed eight
feet apart, and the gauge was five feet.
The rails were Of pine covered with oak,
on which were placed wrought-iron

Stealing Messages.

ANVSsASSss
In several instances portions of Presi-
dent Llncoln's s 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 a
good deal of scandal connected with
the ladies of the White House, it came
to 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
obllyious condition of his son Dick, q
copy Of the message was handed to
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 his confidential friends or CORE
spondent. It was the custom of the
General, when he had completed his
message, to take his private secretaries
-Pruden, Sniffin and Lucky-into 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, were 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, and, 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-
yate 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
ident's messages, each message having
been made public in advance of its
transmission to Congress.
| Although, as q 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
$500 was offered for President Grants
messages. The last message, however,
was sold for $500, while Secretary
Shermans report brought $3.50, the
| proceeds being divided between three
parties, the pnrloiner and two middle
men who effected the sale. - Phila-
