the gift by another. The BRIDE 8

son. n.law's well-brushed locks. AS
they arise bridesmaids sing wedding
song. The guests each bring forward
present of some sort. Wine Is
handed about, and some one says 1t IS
bitter and needs sweetening, Upon
this the bridegroom kisses the BRIDE
the sweetness being supposed to be
provided by this kiss-salutes the com
pany and takes his leave, on which the
bridesmaids sing song with a cho-
rus something like this:
Farewell happy bridegroom, :,
But return to be still more happy"
Counting time has now begun. Ev-
ery evening the lover comes to his Ia
dy's home with present which is
always something good to eat-gener-
ally cakes OF sugar plums. He makes
love under rather awkward clrcum,
stances, for the bridesmaids sit about
the betrothed pair in a circle singing
songs descriptive of their happiness.
The last evening of the courtship is
enlivened by the presentation OF the
gifts of the bridegroom, which must
include brushes, combs, soap and per-
fumery. On receiving these, the
bridesmaids instantly carry the bride
away, and wash her, dress her hair,
and perfume her pocket-handkerchlef.
Thus touched up she returns to the
company, and the brides father gives
his future son .in-law the marriage
portion, which he takes home with
him in a neat bag. The next morn
ing he returns for the lady herself.
She receives him with her hair I'M
braided and flowing down her back.
They are married by the ceremonies
of the Greek Church, and the old folks
never go to the wedding dinner.
Those eternal bridesmaids, whom
they must hate by this time, are there,
however, still on duty, and the even
ing closes by the bride kneeling down
and pulling off her husbands boots to
prove her intention to be an obedlent
and submissive wife.
Good-natured bridegrooms generally
hide jewelry or money in their boots,
which the bride may take possession
of as balm for her pride. After the
wedding day the parents begin to give
feasts, and keep it up a week, and It'll
not till all this is over that the young
couple" see those blessed bridesmaids
take their departure. They are then
compelled to kiss them, thank them,
and give them each present.

How Russian Girls are COurted.

Love is the same the world over,
but counting" is managed very differ
emily in different countries. Russian
counting, among the middle classes, is
peculiar. The first Whit Sunday af-
ter the young girl is acknowledged by
her mother to be of manageable years,
she is taken to the Petersburg summer
garden to join the bridal promenade. "
This consists of the daughters of the
Russian tradesmen walking in process
ion, followed by their parents. Up
and down they go pretending to chat
with each other and to take no notice
of the young men-the tradesmen's
sons, dressed in their best clothes
who walk in procession on the other
side. However. every now and then
some young fellow slips out of his
proper rank and adds himself to the
line of girls on the other side, speak
ing to one particularly. The parents
of the girl Join in the conversation in
a few moments, and soon they leave
the promenade and are joined by the
parents of the young man. Generally,
the old folks have talked it well over
before, but on this occasion everyone
pretends to be surprised. On the next
day a female confdante calls on the
girls parents and requests her hand.
This granted, all the relations on both
sides meet and argue about the por-
ton to be given with the girl. If this
is not satisfactory, all is at an end; if
it is what is expected, the betrOthal
takes place.

The fact is unquestionable thai
Georgia is the most progressive OF the
Southern States. Several of her sons
are distinguished in the legislature Of
the nation, and many are excellent
business men with large capital, enter
prise and push. The State is develop,
ing great wealth in multiplying forms
of activity, and is represented in the
councils of the nation by men abreast
with the age and who, while intensely
loyal to local interests, take a broad
and advanced view of national ques-
tons.
Perhaps only second to Alexander
II. Stephens among these honorable
men, is the subject of this sketch, who
is a Georgian by birth, of Irish decent
on his fathers side. Benjamin Har-
vey Hill was born in Jasper County,
September IA, 1928. He was gradu-
ated from the State University when
twenty-one years of age, after which
he studied law and was, in due time,
admitted to the bar. His career as a
lawyer proved very successful. In 1851
he was sent to the State Legislature
as Union man. -Four years later,
he suffered defeat as candidate for
Congress. When Buchanan and Fire.
mont were nominated in 1856, he
gained notoriety as aspeaker opposing
them. In 1857, he ran for Governor
of Georgia, but unsuccessfully. He
was member of the State in 1859,
and an earnest supporter to the Bell
and Everett ticket in 1860. He OPP
posed secession in the beginning, but
afterwards went with his State, and
was Senator in the Confederate Con-
gress throughout the period OF the
war. The upshot of this was his ar
rest by Federal officers in May, 1866,
and his confinement for two months
in Fort Lafayette, New York harbor.
In 1867, he presided over the Macon
Convention, which reorganized the
Democratic party of the South on the
Union basis, and subsequently opposed
Thaddeus Stevens scheme of recon
struction by vigorous work with his
pen. When Horace Greeley was NOM
mated, he strenuously supported the
ticket. In 1878, he was an unsuccess-
full candidate for the United States
Senate. After his election to the House
of Representatives in 1875, he distln-
grished himself in debate with the
redoubtable Blaine. When the Elec-
toral Commission, after the Hayes
Tilden campaign, was proposed as
necessary, he advocated it with char
acteristic energy, and was elected to
the United States Senate before that
body addressed itself to its
difficult task. He has distinguished
himself in the Senate, and statesmen
of both parties are one with us in
his sad death.

A Long Way Around.

A few days ago block of coal, four
feet wide, four feet high and ten feet
long, weighing 1890 pounds, was
taken west on fiat car, on the way to
the Denver exposition, where it is to be
exhibited. 1t was taken from coal
mine in Utah owned by the Denver q
Rio Grande railroad company, who are
now building road from Salt Lake
City east, to intersect their line to the
Rio Grande. This company is at war
with the Union Pacific, and rather than
patronizing or accept a hVor
from that road, they send the coal,
which was mined within few hundred
miles of Denver, north ON the Utah
Central to Ogden; thence west, on the
Central Pacific to Lathrop, California;
thence South to Yuma and east to New
Mexico on the Southern Pacific, ana
thence north on their own road to Den

Northwest Texas is developing fasto,

pire of the cattle king"
Sheep-raising, however, is randi,
gaining ground, and it is said BY tboss
who have thoroughly tested the mat

crative as that of sheep raising. Wbis
this is an excellent stock country, Il i
none the less a fine wheat region, mn
ducing from thirty to forty bushels ~
wheat to the acre. The Indians have
until the last four years, had SWAY owe,
the beautiful Pease River and Uppe,
Red River country. Where the town
of Vernon, the county seat of vii.
barger county, is now situated, the
wild Indian and wild buffalo were then
the only denizens. Now, in their
stead, fine farms and vast herds of fat
cattle are to be seen. Thousands Of
acres of fine wheat and grazing land
are waiting the enterprising settler.
The cattle men do not own the land,
nor is it fenced for pasture, as in other
parts of the State, but the herds roam
at will and are looked after and
rounded up" occasionally by the "fes.
tive COW bows" Wild TURKEY, fish and
antelope are plentiful. But a very
small portion of land in Wilbarger
county is patented to private persons,
and the larger part of it being railroad
and State school land. This land is
not yet put on the market and will not
be for sale before next spring, but un-
der the present law settlers and others
fencing and improving the same will
have the preference in the purchase Of
it on the terms now afforded by the
school land law of 1881, which is So
per acre for land having living water
on it, and 81 for other land. The
purchaser has twenty years in which
to pay for the land, with 8 per cent.
interest on deferred payments. Inter.
est must be paid annually, but the
State allows the purchaser to pay the
whole amount at once or the principal
at any time within twenty years. The
Fort Worth and Denver City railroad
is rapidly approaching this place, is
located through this town, and is COM
pleted and the cars are running to
Wichita Falls, fifty miles southeast Of
Vernon. A daily hack runs between
Vernon and Wichita Falls, so that
persons wishing to take a look at this
country can readily get good convey
ance. A good stock raising and wheat
growing country; plenty of land (rich
and cheap,) healthful climate, light
taxes and a hearty welcome are the In
ducements Wilbarger county holds out
to immigrants. F. ?. McG'

Big American Gums.

The A,my and Macy Register makes
the following important statement:
The annual reports of General Ben
net and Commodore Sicard, chiefs re-
spectively of the army and navy ord
nance bureaus, we feel justified in say
ing, will both speak in very high
terms of the system of wire winding
in the construction of heavy ordnance.
Our ordnance authorities are rapidly
approaching the conclusion that wire
winding will be indispensable to the
construction of heavy ordnance in fu-
ture, because it will prove to be the
simplest, strongest, cheapest and safest
method of construction. The truth is
that steel gun of ten and half
inches calber could be built by the
South Boston Iron Company today.
with present appliances, and we ex'
pect to see a number of steel wire guns
of various calber under way at no dis
tant day. There is no reason why we
cannot make in this country as good
guns as Armstrong, Whitworth or
krupp, and when once our govern
ment enables the work to begin, we
predict that our manufacturers will

the strength, ightness and cheapness

Babylon.

About thirty eight years after the
capture of Babylon by Cyrus the Great,
in 539 or $50 B. G., the Babylonians
revolted against the Persians, and Da-
RUS Hytaspis, 500 B. c., marched
against their city, putmany of its chief
inhabitants to the sword, and demol-
ished it's marvellous gates and walls,
which Cyrus had suffered to stand.
Later, Xerxes plundered and destroyed
the Temple of Belus, one of the Won
ders of the world. Alexander the
Great found wealthy and wonderful
city here, although was by no means
such a city as Nebuchadnezzar had
left it. Soon after Alexander's death,
Seleucus Nicator founded Selucia,
some forty miles distant, on the Tigris,
and made it the seat of his empire.
From this time the decay of Babylon's
trade and influence was rapid. A little
more than $50 years later the Par
thians got possession of the place,
burned its temples, and destroyed the
greater part of it. Still another $50
years and Strabo, the great Grecian
geographer, described Babylon as
nearly deserted and fast becoming a
desert. About so years later, or be-
tween 60 and 70 B. c., Pliny declared
that it was then "decayed, unpeopled,
and lying waste" When Lucian wrote
(about 200 A. d., the site of Nineveh,
Babylon's great rival, was unknown,
and this historian described Babylon
as an utter ruin, whose place, "in
little time, would be sought for and
not found, like Nineveh." 1t had been
abandoned to wild beasts, and the last
of it made in the writings of
the old historians represents it as used
by the Persian Kings for a hunting
park, where they pursued the wild
boar, leopard, tiger, and other fercest
of wild beasts. The prophesies of the
prophets and prediction of
Lucian were literally fulfilled, and the
very site of Babylon was unknown for
centuries. Only within the present
century have the explorations Of Rich, /
Layard and others located it with rea-
sonable probability at and about the
squalid modern Turkish town of Hill /
lah, about sixty miles south of Bagdad.
