IL Texas the public lands are at the
disposal Of the state government. \
few weeks ago the Texas legislature
passed bill declaring that all persons
who are now residents Of the state,
and who were residents ut the opening
ofthe war and enlisted in the military
service of the state or confederate
states, and were permanently disabled
while in the service. shall each receive
n land certificate for 1850 acres of
land The provision applies TO widows
whose husbands died or were killed IN
service, and who show that they have
not property to the value of $1,000
This shows that Texas is disposed to
treat the disabled soldiers Of the Con
federacy more generously than the ma
tional government has treated the vet
Grams Of the Union army. And yet
there are those who complain that the
government has done too much for the
soldiers who fought its battles.

ELECTIONS in America are pure com
pared with parliamentary elections IN
England, where bribery is the rule, and
where the cost to candidates for the
unsalared office of member of parlia-
ment is anywhere from $4,000 to
$4,000 The figures are official. The
agents of candidates are required by
law to make sworn returns of expenses,
and they are not likely to exaggerate.
The methods of bribery are mere
eyasions of the law, and are open,gross,
and palpable. The electors who re-
fuse to receive money for their votes
are only about II third of the whole.
The scandal and the same ofthe prac-
tice is admitted. and the gov
eminent has brought III bill to regu-
late expenditures at elections. But 1t
is not likely to be more effective than
the existing enactment.

A Rural wedding and what FOLLOWED.
r"clara selrs' Vermont Letser.I

["Clara Bell'G' Vermont Letter.1
We had contrast between town and
rural manners and dress yesterday at
a country wedding, The bride was
rosy-cheeked chambermaid at the
hotel, and we were all invited to the
marriage at her fathers farm house,
several miles away. The ceremony
was performed in the usual manner
by a clergyman, late in the afternoon.

followed, and then came games-old.
fastened kissing games, like copen-
hagan, postoffice and forfeits. The
city girls held offa while, but, seeing
that their coyness was not well re-
ceived, made martyrs of themselves
and generally liked it. think l OBJ
served fact that is not generally
known in kissing that, for the most
electrical results, one kisser should he
a blonde and the other brunette,
representing the' opposite poles of a
battery. Certainly, the kisses between
looked and sounded mechanical and
perfunctory, while those by con-
trasted couples were fiery, spirited
and harmoniously explosive. However
after several hours of diversions largely
osculatory, there went to bed most
thoughly kissed bride. Her scarlet
lips looked swollen with the ordeal of
long ami earnest Kissing, for she had
been smacked over and over by every
man and woman in the party. She
had borne the treatment with good
humor, and no married life was ever
begun with merrier frolic. But the
crowning exploit was an observance
of the old Vermont custom of tuckiDg
up the nappy couple in bed. Half an
hour after they had retired we burg
larized their bed chamber, and turned
the light of half dozen lamps on
them. We saw sight that proved
woman's superior fortitude. The
bridegroom turned red and white by
turns and was completely fiabber-
gasted; but the bride, though her face
lay rosy enough on the snowy pillow,
was quite self-possessed. She had
dressed herself in "a dainty new night
dress, with sherrings over the should
ers and on the bishop sleeves, and
may have derived her courage from
a previous view of herself in the glass.
Very lovely she was, and very pret
tily careful to keep herself covered
just enough, but not so much as to
hide the yoke Of that charming night
gown. The ceremony consisted OF
tucking the bed clothes all around.
and so closely and violently that the
new man and wife were well shaken
together. Then we left them.
