A Perpetual Oourtship.


The MeXicans of the wealthy or we'll
TODD classes have custom in married
life, says correspondent of the Calves
ton NeWs, which seems to be a pretty
one. Husband and wife have entirely
separate apartments, and neither is ex-
pected to enter the apartments of the
other except on invitation. When the
husband desires the company of his lady
in his apartment he writes q note of in
vitation in terms of the most formal and
lofty politeness, encloses it in per-
fumed envelope, seals it and sends it to
her on a silver tray in the hands of a
servant. The lady acknowledges the
invitation in the same way. and if she
accepts, which she is probably most
likely to do, she appears at the door of
his apartments at the appointed hour,
in bridal costume, escorted by one or
more of her ladies in waiting. These
then retire. The husband receives her
at the door, leads her to q little table,
where he treats her to chocolate or tea,
cakes, fruit, etc. In the midst of his
apartments he has room, furnished in
the most exquisite way he is capable of,
which he holds sacred to his lady. and
never occupies unless she is present.
This room is his pride. He spares no
expense to make it, as unique and charm
ing as possible. When the gentleman
has received his lady in his apartments
it is not proper to leave her until they
have breakfasted, which does not usu-
ally occur until o'clock.
After the lapse of some days-I do
not know how many-etiquett requires
that the lady shall return the husbands
compliment bya similar invitation, nice
ly sealed in perfumed envelope on a
silver tray. He acknowledges the invi-
tation with many thanks, and if he ac-
cepts, which it is presumed he is quite
sure to do, he first INDUCES in the bath,
prigs himself up in his best array, pat
ronizes his perfume bottles and pomades,
and at the appointed hour appears
promptly at the doorof his lady's apart
ments. She is there to receive him,
dressed like a queen, wearing orange
blossoms on her hair and in her bosom.
She conducts him to little table, where
he is offered wine and cake, or choco-
late and cake and fruit. After this
pleasant repast she regales him with
songs and music on the guitar She
also has in the midst of her apartments
room which she holds sacred to her
husband, and which she never occupies
unless he is present. 1t may be sup
posed that this sacred room is her pride
above all things, and to adorn and
watch over it the chief occupation and
JOY of her life. They remain together
in the lady's apartments until break
fast, after which they both separate.
Thus there is continual interchange of
courtesies and a perpetual courtship.

threaten all the vegetation. They attack
even the largest trees, and many hand
some oaks in the grounds of the Govern

hundred years old, were reduced to such
a state that they had to be cut down. 1t
is particularly hostile to fruit trees, and
on single estate destroyed six hundred
orange trees, thereby causing enormous
loss to the owner.

Beneath this roof in pleasant weather,
join this man and maid together.
Let none but Him who rules the thunder
Put this man and maid asunder.

who was abandoned by her husband, al-

The Great Evangelist.
To the Editors of the Appeal:
was glad to see in to-day's APPEAL an
account OF the life and labors of the Rev Z.
P. Hammond, and with the hope of inducing
others to cooperate in the work here, / ap-
pend the testimony of a native Tennessean
as to the success of the work in st. Louis.
The Rev. James H. Brooks, ID, of St.
Louis, is one of the best known and ablest
pastors in that city. When it was proposed
to invite Mr.. Hammond to st. Louis he OPP
posed the movement, and for a week after the
meetings began he did not attend. At length
he went, and then wrote to friend, in let
ter we have beer permitted to read and make
extracts from, as follows:
Without the slightest resort to trickery, without
the of tho anxious seat, without startling de-
nunciations and thrilling appeals. but in the sim
all through the immense audience were bowed
down under the burden of conscious guilt, and
asking with profound solemnity, wholly unlike
the boisterous emotions of q spurious revival
What must do to be sayed?"
Since that evening have been in almost
constant attendance, and only eternity can
unfold the blessed and far-reaching results
of these wonderful meetings. Backsliders
have been reclaimed by scores; the fallen
and the friendless have been freely and fully
forgiven, to the praise and glory OF Code
sovereign grace, that delights TO pluck brands
from the burning; and men and women of
culture and refinement, giving up the vain
attempt to establish their own righteousness
have gratefully submitted themselves TO the
righteousness of God. 1t is quite certain
that never before in the history Of ST. Louis
has there been a work OF the Holy Spirit so
deep, so pervading or SO promising of har-
vest yet to come. None of the ministers, nor
all of us together, could attract such vast
crowds, and it may be truly said of him, as
it was of his Master, "The people heard him
gladly / hope that his labors in Memphis
may be crowned with the happy results that
have attended them elsewhere, and thou
sands be led to Christ. B.

To the Editors of the Appeal:

To the Editors OF the Appeal:
HELENA, March 9.-In your issue OF the
18th instant communication from Mr.. Fleece
appears, in which he says: Every man hav-
ing an opinion of his own as to the remedy
should express it." / claim to have studied
the river more closely than any man living,
and have noted the effects of the various
plans tried for the past thirty years. If you
think my views worth publishing, l will
write them out for you more at large than l
can in this communication. AS MIR. Fleece
SAYS, the only hope OF relieving the lands
from overflow is in increasing the current.
This is admitted and claimed by the advo-
Gates of each and every theory, and denied
by their opponeBts-except the cutoff or
Strengthening theory. As you are aware, /
am and have been for over thirty years, an
advocate Of cutoffs, and have been laughed at
on account thereof. Now that the levees
have about proved failure, 1 expect there
will be many advocates of that
theory, [ notice Strengthening" has even
been referred to in a resolution in Con-
gress. What / might call the text of my
theory is, that the distance from Cairo to the
gulf Is 600 miles, with a slope of six inches
10 the mile in an airline; By the river this
distance is 1900 miles, with a slope of three
inches 10 the mile. This distance can be
made 800 miles, with slope Of four and
half inches at s. cost of from &, 900 coo 10
S5,000,000; and for s., 100000 more this dis
lance could be reduced 20 nearly 800 miles,
if thought desirable. To carry out my plan
to the full extent, all private interests mus:
be ignored. Ny plan would leave New Or
leans OF lake, ss | would turn the entire
