THE MARRIAGE CEREMONY

OF the Episcopal church. In answer to the
question who gave the BRIDE
away, the father replied, and then
the rector put the usual questions to
the contracting couple, all of which were
answered 50 as to be distinctly understood
IN all parts of the church. At Just eight
o'clock and forty minutes the words, ~

and within few minutes after, all was
over-two more souls welded into one for
better, or for wOrsc--two more human
destinlcs merged into one for veal, or for

Watering Place Friendshins.


It is doubtful if fashionable women
always love each other, but it is good
taste at watering place to pretend to
do SO. 1t is one Of the few occasions
when assimilation is to be advised as
one of the virtues. Female friendships
are often but the result of propinquity.
Their roots are not very deep. Rival
ries are constant, and GOODNESS and
quarrels are sometimes inevitable. We
should at least pay society, however,
the respect of not troubling it with our
animosities, publicly exposed.
Women should not talk too much at
a watering place, even if they talk very
well. Perhaps the better they talk the
less they should display that delightful
gift. Some one is sure to say, ooh,
she is talking to make an impression"
Many women with high spirits, wit and
power of expression, while simply
pouring forth their charming eloquence,
are supposed to be talking for effect.
All great talents and great beauty are
dangerous gifts. Beauty is of itself q
suspicious circumstance, SO few of.us
have it," said Sydney Smith. There
are many hatreds and antipathies en-
gendered by the pursuit of pleasure in
our hot-house atmosphere Of watering
place society. It is doubtful if any gay
and idle life improves us. Still, as
more people are thoughtless than bad,
it would be absurd to suppose that the
cultivation of the social graces should
always result in q crop of weeds. II
we could only learn to disarm criticism
by an elegant reserve of manner. to be
polite, graceful, and not too elusive at
q watering. place, we should escape
much malignant and disagreeable
speech. The young aspirant for FASH
ion must expect to receive some sharp
wounds, however. She is going into
the front Of battle, and she must buckle
on her armOr. -

Examination of Candidates for a Custom
House Olerkship.

Thirty-four men, of ages ranging
from II to 40 years, sat at number of
desks on the top floor of the Custom
House all day yesterday with large
sheets of paper before them. Not q
sound was heard except the occasional
scratching of a pen and the quick walk
of attendants on the stone floor. Oc-
casionally one of the men at the desks
would hold up his hand, like child at
school, and a messenger would soon
be at his side to attend to his wants.
Generally the attendant received q
large sheet of closely written paper,
which he deposited upon desk at one
end of the room and returned with a
sheet containing number of litho-
graphed questions, with blank spaces
beneath each one for an answer. So
the work goes on from 9 o'clock in the
morning till in the afternoon. Then
the school is dismissed and the students
go home.
This is a class in the civil service re-
form school. The students are appli-
cants for $1,000 clerkship. Notices
had been sent out for fifty persons to
attend the examination but only thirty
four attended, and of these some gave
up the contest before they had attempt
ed to answer half the questions. Five
new clerks are to be appointed.
Occasionally some very ludicrous
answers are made to the questions.
An examiner, when he took up the pa
per of a middle-aged man. after the
dictation exercise, was surprised to see
a perfectly blank sheet.
"What does this meanP' he asked,
handing the man the paper.
The middle-aged man took the sheet
and gravely wrote, II am totally deaf"
''What two naval heroes fought on
Lake Champlain?'' brought out the in
formation that Lord CORVALLIS and
Admiral Nelson had exchanged shots
on that sheet of water.-Ne.u York

A Rope Of Woman's Hair.

In his detail of Indian horrors that
came under his notice, Mr.. Markley,
the New Mexico Indian killer, stated
that in 1867 he gave an Indian half a
dollar for hair rope ten feet in length
and about the size of his little finger.
He UNFINISHED the end and found that it
was made of rcd, auburn and black
hair, which, from the length of each
hair, was evidently that of q woman.
He questioned the Indian, who told
him the rope was made from the hair
of the women and girls slain in the
Mountain Meadow massacre, for COM
plicity with which murder John d.
Lee, the Mormon, was tried and shot a
few years ago. The place where he
purchased the rope was at Palerona-
cote, sixty-five miles from Mountain
Meadow, where tho most narrowing
and brutal massacre of modern times

About CARLYLE.

Now that every newspaper in the
land is contributing little reminiscent
ces of Carlyle to the general fund, the
Appeal has taken the pains to gather
up several anecdotes of the great man,
which have never seen print.
About five years ago tho Prince of
Wales called at Carlyle's house, and
was asked to dinner. The great critic
gave tho prince a bowl of mush and
molasses, reserving quail on toast,
frogs legs, and bottle of Budweiser
for himself. The prince said:
81 don't like mush.''
'Then gnaw the toothpicks, you
id impudent rascal. Who the devil
invited you to my house, anyway?''
The prince was quite delighted with
the sturdy old Scotchman's bluntness,
and when he got home laughed very
heartily over it.
Ono day Miss Olive Harper, CORES
pondent of the Alta, called to spend
tho afternoon, and begged Carlyle to
give his opinion of the great writer's.
Il hope you adore Dickens?' she
asked.
Never read the idiots books?''
''Thackeray, of course, y0u-''
IA stupid ass. I tell you, don't
mention Thackeray to me, or I'll brain
you with a poker.''
'Walter Scott?''
s'The---!'
.'Of course you've read my sprightly
letters to the Altar"
II read one. 1t came to me from
America wrapped around bottle of
California wine. The wine was beast
~, and tho letter like the wine, only
worse. Nothing but dregs. Here,
Jeemess;, kick this woman out of the
Miss Harper afterward wrote a
column letter to the Alta describing
her charming evening with tho great
man.
When Daniel Webster was in Eng
land he met Carlyle on the street and
introduced himself. >Mistaking him
for Noah Webster, he gathered a brick
and knocked five front teeth in, shout
ing savagely:
care you the----w who de-
stroyed the English languageP''
Finding next day that he had made
mistake and hit the orator, he was
very sorry that he had not known it at
the time and calling at the hotel with
shot gun, filled Dan with No. 6 goose
shot. Webster was very fond of telling
this anecdote, which he thought was
very amusing, and gave the shots to his
friends as souvenirs of the meeting.-
