somewhat thin. Atany rate the truth
of the charge is proven that tho star
route swindlers bought Indiana for
Gafiold-not pleasant showing for
tho party of moral idoas.
An exchange wittily Gays that tho
Senators are leaving the Noslrs syk at
Washington in pairs, and it Is believed
that in a short timo not enough will DO
left to constitute a quorum.
Altogether the Republicans are not
happy, and Garfield is experiencing q
rough time at the very outset Of q
career that promised to be Republi-
can millennium. Tho Democrats are
in high feather, and they expect to be
heard in the November State elections.

The Week In Washington.

The Senate has at last practically
abandoned the Gorham- m-Riddleberger
contest and gono to work. This was n
substantial victory for tho Democrats,
who, feeling that they had the right
on their side, persisted in upholding
IT., until the pressure Of accumulated
business broke through the dam erect
ed by the Radical caucus and compell-
ca the constitutional majority" to
back down. Next to the breaking Of the
deadlock, the chief sensation was the
withdrawal by Garfield of all the New
York nominations except that Of Ro-
bertson. When the batch was first
sent in it embraced followers Of Conk-
ling as we'll as Robertson. The Re-
publican caucus, IN breaking up the
deadlock, agreed among themselves to
consider only such nominations as are
not opposed by at least one Republ-
can SENATOR from the State affected by
the appointment. As Conkling and
Pjntt both favor the confirmation of
the Conklingites, Garfield saw that all
Of these might get in while Robertson
was left high and dry. TO prevent
this. he withdrew all the other nomi-
nations so as to compel tho considera-
ton of Robertson's case first, as much
ae intimating that it would determine
the fate Of all the rest. This unex-
pected stittening Of tho Presidential
backbone has pleased many, notably
the Democratic party, which, as o
mass, detests Conkling, personally,
and as the embodiment Of Grantism.
CoDkling expresses confidence that he
will win, while Blaine has tclegraphcd
to Robertson that success is certain.
All depends upon tho action of the
Democrats, and it is believed that a
majority Of them will align themselves
on the side Of the administration.
The star route controversy has I'M
carthed the fact that during the last
campaign, after all the departments,
including the scrubbing women, had
been drained of every cent they could
raise, the Republican prospect was so
gloomy that Garfield was constrained

twenty-five thousand dollars, and

vldual contribution from Brady, who
was reputed to have made immense
sums from speculation in Doll Telc-

Political Tidal Waves,

Politics present the same wave pho
nomena as characterize large bodies of
water. III either case an impulse at
any one point sends ever widening
undulations over the whole surface,
any one spot being alternately in the
crest and the trough of the wave. The
November election sent huge wave
of Republican eXultation followed by
trough of Democratic depression
over the land. Complications III
Washington have caused another im-
pulse, and this time Democrats ride
the crest. 1t takes just about three
months for one wave to catch the 9TH
er. In the country and in sequestered
localities the November wave is still
exerting its influence, and assertions
arc heard that tho Democratic party is
dead and the South should cut Off from
1t, while to those posted up to the
latest time such talk is absurd. Four
months from now the tide may change
again, and Republican wave be sent
from Washington in its turn to chill
those who, in the baokw oods, will
then have just heard that tho Demo-
Gratis have whipped the Republicans

The Condition of Oppressed Women

The Condition of Oppressed Women.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 I was somewhat amused few days ago ill reading the remarks of Judge Sheldon to a man brought before him for abuse of his wife. He said to him: 'FYou seem to be under the delusion that you own your wife" think the delusion is pretty common and not confined by any means to the lower classes, and how can we expect 1t to be oth- erwise when by the laws of the State she Is a bondwoman and her disabilities many and grievous The laws of the State of Connec- ticut in relation to women have been pro- nounced by ex-Governors Hubbard and An drews disgrace to civilization. Our pres ent governor, think, did not allude to them in his message. But little can be done to change these laws so long as a majority of our Senators and Representatives are op posed.
 We have recently had meeting in our city with addresses and short speeches on the di verce question. Now the laws in our State in relation to women are far more disgraceful than our divorce laws, and whenever these odious laws are rik hted and women stand be- fore the world equal in law and gospel and entitled to the rights that men claim for themselves, the divorce question will be set- tied, the woman question also.
 From recent work on Ancient Society, by Lewis H. Morgan, I quote the following t'When the fact is accepted that the family has passed through four successive forms and is now in a fifth, the question at once arises, whether this form can be permanent in the future. The only answer that can be given is, that it must advance society advances, and change as society changes even as it has | done in the past. It is the creature of the social system, and will reflect it's culture l AS the monogamic family has improved greatly since the commencement of civiliza- tion, and very sensibly in modern times, it is at least supposable that it is capable of at least farther improvement until the equality of the sexes is attained. Should the mona gamic family in the distant future fail to an- | swer the requirements of society, assuring | the continuous progress of civilization, it fs | impossible to predict the nature of it's suc- ] cessor.n M, c.

How to Get Married Nowadays.
 From Harper's BaZar.

The modern New York wedding is model led on the English style of doing things. The old American fashion of the bridesmaids with attendant cavaliers entering the room or church arm in arm is entirely broken up, and the gentlemen ushers, who seat the company and who manage the business of the wedding in the church. are compelled to enter first, without the soIace of feminine hand on tn coat sleeve.
 A bride elect begins sometimes three months before her wedding day, to invite her bridesmaids, for there are dresses to be made and gifts selected The groom chooses his best man, and his ushers, of whom there are generally six These gentlemen receive from him cravats and scarf pins, and the groom ire quently gives each bridesmaid a locket. The bride often gives each of her bridesmaids, of whom there are also generally six, some small token of her regsrd; but not, as formerly, her dress. Bouquets are always proivded by the bride for her bridesmaids.
 The church must be engaged for a fort night ahead, to avoid the gloomy catastrophe of meeting funeral coming out, which has happened and which is, of course, depress- ing The clergyman and organist both need time to get themselves in order; and the ho- rist, who is to decorate the altar with fresh cut flowers and growing plants, also needs time; he also should have plenty of warning.
 When the happy day arrives the head usher goes to the church an hour before the time to see that 8 white cord is stretched across the aisle, reserving pews enough for the fami- ly and particular friends, and to see, in fact, that all details are attended to.
 The ushers should be in attendance early, to seat people in convenient places and good manners and careful attentions, particularly to elderly people, make lifelong friends for these young gentlemen at the weddings where they officiate When the brides mother ar rives the white cord is dropped, and she is taken to the front seat; all the family friends take their places near her in adjoining pews.
 Then the clergy come in and take their places at the altar, followed by the groom and his best man, who have been safely guarded in the vestry room. The groom looks down the aisle to watch for his coming bride. The organ strikes up the wedding march as the first couple of ushers are seen entering the church door. They come in slowly, two and two. followed by the bridesmaids, who bear bouquets of one color.
 Then the bride enters leaning on her father $ arm. A very pretty and becoming fashion is for the bride to wear her veil over her face, throwing it back at the altar; but this is a matter of taste.
 The ushers part company, going to the right and left, and remain standing on the lower step of the altar. The bridesmaids also move to the right and left, next the altar rail, leav-

Dr. Lentz recently gave the Paris Geo. graphical Society an interesting account of his journey from Morocco to the interior of Africa. He arrived at Timbuotoo on July 1, being the third of his countrymen to reach that strange city. He found little of it's re- ported magnifcence remaining, owing to the devastating wars which are constantly going on around it. Dr. Lentz reports against the project of forming an inland sea in Africa, for the reason that the middle of the desert is about 600 feet above the level of the Med iterranean. This announcement will doubt less settle for most minds a much-vexed question. Dr. Lentz thinks that railway across the Desert of Sahara can be built if means can be found to propitiate or overawe the chieftains of the adjacent countries In addition to the practical results of his jour. ney, the explorer reported many interesting incidents. One of the most curious natural phenomena was that which he observed at the entrance to the Sahara, where at certain times the sand gave out a strange murmurina sound of plaintive tone. He attributes this to the rubbing of the grains of sand one against the other as the temperature changes and alters their size.
 The ways of impecunious swindlers are many and devious. A few days ago family residing on Murray Hill, New York city, made preparations for large and fashionable party. It is related that about o'clock ip the afternoon man with pick and shovel paused before the door and deliberately be- gan to remove the pavement, as if he intend ed to make an excavation in search of the gas or water pipes. His operations caused con- sternation in the house where the party was to be given that evening, as with the pave ment disturbed the carriages of the guests could not. be driven up to the door. The anxious father of the'family rushed out and ordered the man to desist. He could not i; he had been ordered there by the Street Commissioners to repair a leak and he must do his work. Expostulations followed, even threats, but all in vain the man was obsti- nate. Perhaps he could be bribed. Happy thought A ten dollar bill was offered him. But no, the mans integrity could not be as- sailed. The hour was getting late the Con- missioners had no doubt left their office, and could not be found to change or counter mand their order. Desperate circumstances demand desperate remedies. Twenty dollars were offered to the man if he would go his way and not begin his work until to morrow. q have sick wife and child at home" said the man, land you tempt me-" ''Take the money, then, and buy them what they need. See, here's $1o more-$30. Tell the Con- missioners your wife was sick and you could not begin the work to-day. Tell him any thing you please, only don't tear up the street tonight" The bribe was taken and the man has not been seen since
