A Bride That Hesitated.

A couple from Virginia, in Milton,
walked hand-in- hand up Main street and
took a seat upon the front step OF the
'Squire's Office, and the man asked for
license. AS the Squire was preparing to
make it out the buxom girl began to inch
off, and hesitated, and finally said to the
young man in half whisper

"Well, you don't want the license

"Hold on thar, mister yes, we do,
said the man and he moved closer up
and set his chin to earnest work. "Now,
Sally" he said, "don't go on thater way;

had been given and they had gone most
too far to back out now.

nament about an inch long and half
an inch in diameter. In the center
of the seals, on the face side, is q heart,
over which, on either side, pointing
downward TO the side, is horn of plen-
ty; below and above these were coils OF
fine silver braid. One seal had watch
key attached. The barrel was hollow
and looked similar to common barrel
with both ends taken out, and was at
tached to the ring by very fine silver
ring. The main ring was made of pure
silver, and was about three-fourths of
an inch in diameter. On one side of
the ring was engraved small dagger
and the letter M, being discernible only
with the aid of microscope. Beside
the other ornaments on the seals was
the inscription 1868. Mr.. s. found the
curiosity on the old fort grounds at Old
Mackinac, where the Pontiac massacre
took place. The ring with its attach
Inents is supposed to have been at one
time the property of Father Marquette.

German Oddities.

German brick layers DO not carry the
bricks up in hod. They are generally
thrown up. One man stands at the pile
in the street, and one man is placed on
each staging to throw to the man above
through hole in the scaffolding. BY
this succession of relays bricks are
thrown up five stories. have never
seen q ''mufr' made, but L usually
watched the game from the other side OF
the street. Another custom connected
with house-building is for the owner to
give an entertainment to the workmen
when the walls are up. The fact is
advertised to the community by great
crown of flowers placed upon the top of
the building, with numerous flags and
decorations. Work is suspended for the
day. and the workmen meet the owner
and the invited guests around the festive
board, and afterward dance with their
wives aud daughters. 1t is we'll known
that the Germans have as many holidays
as possible.

Mr.. MILLS, the apostle of ensilage.
or the preservation of crops in green
state for fodder, the possibilities of
which he is illustrating at Arrabeck
farm, Pompton, N. j., lays down the
following conditions as essential to sue
cess: Air must be perfectly excluded
from the pit or silo by uniform and
continuous pressure of about $50 pounds
to the square foot the crop should have
lowered before being cut, and the
knives should be sharp enough not to
tear the saccharine sacks. Last year
Mr.. Mills fed for seven months 140 ami
mails, cows and horses, from ten acres of
corn-fodder The past summer he fed
for six weeks 100 cattle, mostly mich
COWS, from five acres of oats sown in the
spring, and he believes that during the
coming winter and until his corn crop
for 1882 is ready, he can, in spite of an
inferior yield occasioned by the drought.
keep $50 cattle on the corn-fodder cut
from twenty-five acres. Mr.. Mills states
that one ton of grass preserved green in
a silo possesses as great feeding capacity
as twenty tons of the best hay. These
a1e startling figures, but if any one feels
disposed to dispute them Mr.. Mills will
gladly furnish the proof, and triumph
antly point to his sleek and happy COWS,
whose rich milk brings / cent quart
moro than the usual price.

A CHICAGO photographer has firmly
"sat down" on resittings for photo
graphs. He says that, unless mega
tive is spoiled by himself, he never gives
the subject two sittings for the money
charged for one. This reform will prob
ably go farther until it wipes out the
practice INDUCED in by many women
demanding numerous sittings and then
hesitatingly deciding on the first mega
tive taken.

In Savannah, Ga, the annual death
rate for 200 whites for the year 1880
was 1886, and for the colored, 45.47.
In the Mayors opinion, the disparity is
due to non-observance of sanitary laws
on the part of portion of the colored
people, and to their unintentional neg
lect of the necessities of the sick. The
authorities provide medical attendance
and dispensaries for them, but they
have not yet learned to take full advant-
age of the city's liberality.

The Captain of Hamburg steamer
recently arrived in port with a cargo of
eleven veritable cannibals whom he OBJ
tanned near the Straits of Magellan. At
first he fed them with cooked food, but
they all sickened upon that diet. A
large supply of raw meat, however, re-
stored the tone of their stomachs, and
by the aid of n few such delicacies as
tallow candles they reached Hamburg
in good condition. They are to be ex-
hibited first at the Jardin d'Acclimation,
in Paris, and will subsequently appear
in the other principal European cities.

The effects of the graveyard insur-
ance" system which prevails in Penn
sylvania are beginning to be felt. An
old man, whose life had been insured
by speculative sharks for $40. 900, was
found dead in the canal of Wilkesbarre
the other day. Not long ago six men
were hung for numbering person whose
life was heavily insured in their favor,
but their fate does not seem to have de-
TERED others from committing crime in
order to secure money. That such a
system of life insurance should be per-
mitted to exist is disgrace to Pennsyl-
yania.

A BASS weighing one pound in 1880
was returned to the Potomac with a
small sleigh-bell attached to its tail with
wire. A few days ago it was caught,
with the bell still attached, the fish
weighing six pounds. This may seem
like fish story, says the New Orleans
Picayu,,e, but one-pound bass caught
here five years ago was returned to the
water with q penny tin-whistle attached.
Three years later the bass was caught.
1t still weighed pound, but the whistle
had grown into fog-horn.

JOHN s. WILLIAMS, United States
Senator, recently sold his crop of tobac-
co, raised on seventy-five acres in the
"blue grass section of Kentucky, for
$21, 1926. There were ninety-five
hogsheads, and the yield from each acre
was nearly $500. He was assisted by a
flock of 700 turkeys, who kept the plants
clear of worms.

NEGROES never took kindly to the
