How Native Australians Marry.

M.Howitt'sa account OF the Kurnai
people, just north of Basis Straits,
introduces us to new set OF mar
riage customs. Here the rule is
elopement. The lad and girl make
love to one another without the
knowledge of her parents and run
away together. The BRIDES fami.
ly, furious, 70 In quest OF her; and,
If caught and brought back, she
will be severely puniphed-her mo-
ther and brother will beat her and
her father even spear her through
the legs. AS for the husband, when
be returns he has to fight his wife's
male relatives. The pair may have
to elope two or three times, with
new pursuit and fighting, until ut
last her family grow tired Of object.
ing, and the mother says: "Oh, it'a
all right; better let him have her."
The wonderful thing IL that this
is not exceptional. but the regular
marriage rite of the tribe. The an.
ger is not real, and when the peo-
pie are charged with being cruel
they answer that it is not intended
as cruelty, but simply to follow an
ancestral custom. The consequence
of this Kurnai custom Ia a change
toward civilized ideas of marriage; ;
it is no longer shifting union be.
tween one group or tribe and an.
other, but real pairing by mutual
choice of man and wife, and, to
some extent, male descent comes
with 1t.
The Kurnai elopsment marriage
shows another interesting feature.
Though it is condoned at last by
his wife's family, the husband 10
never allowed to look at, speak to-,
or live in the same camp with his
wife's mother. This Is the best
fact yet produced In favor Of the
explanation Of the custom Of avoid.
ing parents.in.Iaw, as meaning
that the act of taking their daugh.
ter, though practically allowed,
cannot be openly agreed to by their
acknow owledging him. So deeply
rooted is this custom in Australia
that 1t retains its hold on the ma.
tives under missionary influence.
"a Brahrolung, who is a member
Of the Church of England, was one
day talking to me. His wife's
mother was passing at some little
distance, and l called to her. Suf-
fering at the time from a cold, I
could not make her hear, and said
to the Brabrolung, Call Mary, I
want to speak to her. He took no
notice whatever, but looked vacant.
ly on the ground. Ispoke sharply,
but without his responding. I
then said, what do you mean by
taking no notice of me?' He
thereupon called out to his wife's
brother. who was at little dis.
tance, TELL Mary Mr.. Hewitt wants
her, and turning to me said. re-
proachfully, 'You know very we'll l

A Bad Blunder.

AT church sociable some time
ago theological student was de.
tailed to assist o young lady whom
he had long admired from afsr in
making out new Sabbath school
library catalogue.
The prospective minister found
the task by no means an unpleas-
ant one, as the charming creature
read the title of each book from the
title.page, while he delightedly
copied 1t into the catalogue before
him. In fact, there fitted through
the mind of the sedate and rather
bsshful youth several times the
question whether the aforesaid
maiden, with her pretty figure and
bright eyes, might not be induced
to become "the sharer Of his labors
and tolls"
II believe 1 would ask hsr to-
night il only dared" he thought.
"But 1 don't dare, so there's the
end Of it," And with gloomler
face than before he continued his
work, calling out "Next book" al
most mechanically as fast as he
had transcribed the former title.
He was aroused from his reverie
by the following rejoinder to one
of his demands for "Next book"
"Why don't you do il?"
He started as though the girl had
been reading his thoughts.
"Do what?" he inquired, by way
of drawing her out. But the young
lady replied not a word. To gain
time he again said:
"Next bOok?"
mo time like tho present." said
the maiden with an encouraging
smile.
II see it Ia of no use to hide my
thoughts from you, Miss NJ" he
said, struggling with his EN- barass-
msnt. "Your last two remarks
have shown me how perfectly you
realize my state of mind. l will,
therefore, follow your advice aud
mbrace the present opportunity of
asking you whether you are will
ing to accept me as your partner
for life. Your answer, I am conf
dent from these remarks, will be
"It was the young lady's turn to
be embarrassed
"ro what remark do you refer 2"
she said.
"To the two sentences in which
you so delicstely blended words of
advice and encouragement on this
most important Of subjects, when
you said, why don't you do it p
and NO time like the present."
The girl looked puzzled for a mo-
ment, and then burst into a merry
laugh. "Why those were the
books you called for. Well, you
have got yourself into a pretty
hx," and she laughed at the dis
cOmfitsd student maliciously.
"Miss NJ" said the young man,
springing up witbssuddsn earnest
ness, II beg you will consider the
words which cannot now recall.
Be mine and 1 shall bs supremely
happy. Refuse me and you will
make me miserable for life. Will
you be mine ?"
"Yes, yes; don't make so much
noise about it, or somebody will
overhear you"

Ida Kelly, of Itas,a, MIMI, sent
a note to her lover, Sol Greism er,
with whom she had quarreled, ask
ing him to come on "a certain night
and elope with her. Sol was elated
by the idea of marrying her, partly
because he wished to triumph over
her parents, who had opposed the
match. He was under her window
with ladder at midnight. She
came down, dressed as though for a
journey, and kissed him. They sat
down at q little distance from the
house and discussed the question
which direction to take. Ida was
in SoPs lap, with one arm thrown
around his neck, when, with the
disengaged hand, she cut his throat
with a razor. Having murdered
him, as she supposed, she ran back
to her bed; but the wound was not
mortal. 1t Is coDjectured that she
intended his death to be attributed
to suicide, as she was careful to re-
gain the letter which had lured
him.

Southern California Mines.

The subjoined Southern Califor-

the 2lst instant:
The Csjon Pass coal mines are
being opened up vigorously. They
have now seven veins of good coal
and new discoveries are constantly
being made. This pass will soon
furnish on abundance of coal to
Southern California.
Tay & Lawrence, keepers Of the
Cajon Pass toll house, have just dis.
covered several new veins OF btu.
minous coal in the pass, near the
mines recently sold. One vein
measures eleven feet in width on
the surface.
Mr.. Vincent has recently discov.
cred coal veins in SwarthOut cs ii IN,
just beyond the Csjon Pass.
One of the latest discoveries OF
gold-bearing rock was made just

For several days the mill lay still
to get better screens from San

a P.ra're'.

A correspondent of the New
York Sun, who signs himself "An
Old Democrat" draws the follow
ing parallel between the admins
tration OF President Garfield and
that Of President Buchanan:
s'Is Gen. Garfield to be the last
Of the Republican line of Pres
idents? I? Has the party which
elected him run its course?
'sThese are questions which may
be proatably considered by the
youngsr generation OF politicians
who are meditating a public life.
History Is extremely apt to repeat
atself in the rise and fall of politi-
oAl parties in free country.
"Nsarly \ quarter Of a century
ago the Democratic party was in
much the same situation as that in
which the Republican party lie
now. It had held power through .
long term of years. 1t had used
the small army of those days for
political purposes in Kensas. 1t
was corrupted by the undisputed
possession of the offices, and there
was fierce wrangis going on over
the distribution of them, while the
country was slowly and reluctantly
making up its mind to turn the
whole set of wranglers out. ltwas
dividing into two r ain factions on
an incidental phase Of the slavery
question, as the Republican party
IL dividing on the more important
question of the third term and Its
Incidents. Buchanan had lis Doug
las, as Garfield has his Conkling.
The result was the fatal split of
1861. If National Republican
Convention were to be held this
summer, could any other result be
anticipated?
"Gen. Garfield has begun with
Conkling much as Buchanan be-
gan with Douglas. Buchanan
dreaded the break with the power
ful Senator, and employed every
possible device TO avoid it. He
flattered and coaxed him, and pro-
tected his friends in office until
long after the Senator'S determina'
tion not TO be conciliated was ap-
parent to every observer. The lat.
ter was bound to rule or ruin. The
author of the Kansas-N ebraska
bill was certainly not squeamish
on the slavery question; but find.
ing himself unable to bend the ad-
ministratIon wholly to his will, he
sought occasion against it, and
found his opportunity in Kansas.
II the President had wisely and
boldly accepted the personal issue
with Mr.. Douglas before the LIE.
compton controversy had supplied
him with the much needed pretext
Of principle, he might have crushed
him as mere sorehead, and been
done with 1t. But he dallied and
delayed until it was too late, and
the Indifference of Douglas, where
BY local tickets were sacrificed
from 1868 onward, became the
open rebellion of 1860, and pro-
duced the election of Mr.. Lincoln.
"General Garfield may find in
this history food for serious re-
flection."
