New Wrinkle of the Book
Agent.

From Petersburg (Va.) IDdex-Appeal.l
1t is stated that. an agent from the
North recently visited our city to
canvass for the sale of certain book.
He visited the residences of a number
of our citizens, and where he did not
make actual cash sales, as was the
case in u number of instances, he
asked to leave the book for eXamin-
alton, promising to call subsequently
ald get it, in the event it was not de-
sired to keep the volume. Whether or
not he was prevented from calling for
the book is not known, but the book
was left with some ten or dozen
citizens, and bill for $40 against
each of them was placed in the hands
Of the high constable for collection.
This officer was not aware Of the cir
cumstances until he presented some
bills, when he was informed in each
case that no purchase OF the book had
been made or any bargain entered into
with the agent, but on the contrary
the volume had been left with them
under the promise that it would soon
be called for Several of the gentle
men against whom these bills were
presented expressed the desire to inter-
view the agent and give him gen.
tie expression of their opinion Of his
conduct, but he is not in the city
having returned to the North.

Strike for the sacred Status Quo
Your country's fame consulting;
Where bounteous Niles dark waters flow
Stands Arab insulting.
Our Fleets to Alexandria gone,
Our troops shall 90 to Cairo
ON Christian brethren, boldly on!
To sack the land of Pharaoh.
With heavy loans that land is rife,
Much Jews have lent the stranger;
What British soldier'Il grudge his life,
When ten per cents in danger?
Well nail our colors to the mast,
Our strength the world surprising;
Though British troops be falling fast
Egyptian bonds are rising.
Well guard the honor of our Flag,
And British interests fully;
Well play the glorious game of brag,
Well bluster and We'll bully.
For is not Egypt all our own?
What means this wild commotion
In war we send our strength unknown,
In peace we send out Goeschen.
The grand old man has pledged the State
To each Egyptian bond;
"Amen." in accents big with fate,
The Caucuses respond.
In DAYS of old we have been told,
From Sacred Writs description,
How Jews gained goodly store fgold
By spoiling the Egyptian.
And never shall we now begin
Whoever gain or lose ..t..
To aid Egyptian sons of sin
In spelling of the Jews.
Then let the lingo drum-beat roll
Dread sound for every foe
Wen live and die for the Control"

CHOCTAW COURTsHIP.
Quaint Customs of Love.
Making and Marriage
Among u VanishinT
From the Natchez Democrat. ]

From the Natchez Democrat
The 1000 Choctaws still living in
their ancestral home in Mississippi,
retain in their pristine vigor many of
the usages of their ancestors Among
these are the methods employed in
conducting eourtship and the mar
riage ceremony. When a young
Choctaw, of Kemper or Neshba eoun-
ty sees maiden who pleases his fancy,
he watches his opportunity until he
finds her alone. He then approaches
within few yards of her, and gently
casts pebble toward her so that it
may fall at her feet He may have to
do this three or four times before he
attracts The maiden's attention. If
this pebL.e lhr wing is agreeable she
soon makes it manifest; if otherwise, a
scornful look aud decided "ekwak"
indicate that his suit is in vain.
When marriage is agreed upon
the lovers appoint time and place for
The ceremony. On the marriage day
the friends aud relatives of the pros
pectve couple meet at their respective
houses or villages, and then march
toward eachother When they arrive
near the marriage ground-generaliy
intermediate space between two
villages-lhey halt within about one
hundred yards of each other. The
brothers OF the woman then go across
to the opposite party and bring for
ward the man aud set him down ON q
blanket spread upon the marriage
ground. The inan's sisters then do
likewise by going over and bringing
forward the woman and seating her
by the side OF The man. Sometimes,
To furnish little merriment for the
occasion. tn, woman is expected to 8
break loose and run. OF course she ia
pursued. captured and brought back.
All parties assemble around the ex-
pectant couple. A bag of bread is
brought forward by the woman's rela-
tives and deposited near her. In like
manner the mans relatives bring for
ward bag of meat and deposit it near
him The mans relatives and friends
now begin to throw presents on the
head and shoulders of the women.
This presents are of any kind that the
donors wish to give. as articles of
money, trinkets, ribbons. etc.
As soon as thrown they are quickly
'natched off by the woman's relatives
Ind distributed among themselves.
During all this time the couple sit
very quietly and demurely, not a
word spoken by either. When all the
presents have been thrown and dis
ributed the couple, now man and
wife, arise, the provisions from the
bag are spread, and, just as in civil
zed life, the ceremony is rounded of
With festival. The festival over
he company disperse and the gallant
room conducts his bride to his home,
where they enter upon the tolls and
of the future

Choice Extracts.

To rejoice in anothers prosperity is
Is to give content to your own lot; to
mitigate another's grief is to alleviate
or dispel your own.
1t is hard sometimes to speak
kind word to others when the shadows
rests on your own heart. but nothing
will tend more to tighten your own
cares than the effort to help another.
Men may close their eyes to the evil
dences of the truth of the New Testa-
ment and remain in voluntary dark
ness and blindness, but the evidences
exist, attested by unimpeachable wit
nesses.
In Sparta it was a law that men
should worship the gods with as little
expence as possible. There are already
enrolled on the church books of the
United States enough such Spartans
to make three thousand new Thermo-
pyles.
No n ace is more necessary to the
Christian worker then fidelity; the
humble grace that marches OF in sun
shine and storm, when no banners are
waving and there is no music to cheer
the weary feet

In 1867 the number of sheep in the
United States was estimated to be A.
900 900, and the yield Of wool was
about l47 900, 900 pounds, or 81 pounds
per sheep. In 1880 the number of
sheep was the same, but the wool pro-
duct rose to 5000, 900 pounds, q
gain of one pound per sheep. This
was owing to the Improvement
wrought by more judicious sheep-hus
bandry.
The trouble with the turnip as food
for stock, says the Germantown Tele-
graph. is that it requires so much
handling. Every single turnip has to
be handled in pulling, every one has
to be gone over again and handled to
take the top of. If this could be done
by machinery, no doubt the produc-
tion would soon be doubled, and use
be found for an immense number mors
than is now dreamed Of.

remarkable man in appearance ever
saw-great, shaggy, taciturn-having
the gift of silence, yet knowing how to
talk-a great thing that, to know
when to hold your tongue-evidently
of great reserved power. / shouldn't
like to fall into his claws when excited"
Mr.. Webster's daughter was married
to Mr.. Appleton during his visit to
London. Carlyle alluded to this and
then went on. Tf his daughter looks
like her father she cannot be very

bonnet on would make queer looking

burst of laughter at the oddity of the
conception and then added: Webster

To be a perfect housekeeper is a
very womanly aspiration; and yet as
our views differ from those of most
so-called good housekeepers we shall
proceed to give them, though some
women may protest that we are wrong.
We will admit, TO begin with, that her
windows were clean as crystal, and
her table and bed linen spotess, and
her cakes and jellies delicious, and we
shall be delighted to spend the sum-
mer with her if her temper is as
even as the rows ofcups and saucers on
her pantry shelf. But here we have
our suspicious that all is not as golden
as it shines. We seldom see per-
feet housekeeper with perfectly good
and unspoiled disposition--as cheer
full and sunny as her pleasant pavlor,
where no speck Of dust is visible. We
are afraid to recommend our model
housekeeper as a delightful companion
in the daily walks Of life. The young
man who chooses for his wife the
careless, allectionate girl who is always
ready to lend her helping hand to
brother and sister, at the risk Of soil
ing her gown or hands, is wiser than his
| orderly maiden aunt who is shaking
her head sadly at the follies of youth
and inoXperience, The only real per-
! lection in housekeeping includes a
perfect home, and there is much in the
way Of patient and thoughtful atten-
! ton to our loved ones which the best
wives and mothers makes the first in
point Of Importance, and if anything is
to be sacrificed they neglect the house
but not the home.
