Marriage Customs of Aus
tralian Natives.

When a girl is betrothed her moth
er and aunts may not look at or
speak to the man for the rest of his
life, but if they meet him they squat
down by the wayside and cover up
their heads, and when he and they
are obliged to speak in one another's
presence they use a peculiar lingo,
which they call "turn-tongue."
This queer dialect is not used for
concealment, for everybody under
stands it, and some examples Of it
show that it has much in common
with the ordinary language. To
give al idea of the state Of formal
ity into which life has come among
these supposed free-and-easy sav-
ages, mention may be made Of the
duties of the bridemaid and grooms-
man. When the married pair have
been taken to the new hut built for
them, for the next two moons the
groomsman and the husband sleep
on n side of the fire, the bridemaid
and wife on the other, the new mar
ried couple not being allowed to
speak or to look at n another.
The bride is called a "not-look-
around" and the pair in this embar-
RAISING position are a standing joke
to the young people living near, who
amuse themselves by peeping in and
laughing at them.-Nature.

The Prisoner and the
Mouse.
London Spectator

A pathetic case was heard before
MI. Justice Hawkins yesterday
week John Edwards, a prisoner in
Coldbath Fields Prison, sent there
for uttering counterfeit coin, had
tanned a mouse as a companion, and
formed a great friendship for him.
The warders had taken this mouse
from him and killed it, the prison
rules not of course allowing the pris-
ers to keep pets. The prisoner, en-
ragged at the death of his ~favorite,
had assaulted one of the warders,
and was indicted for the assault.
Mr.. Justice Hawkins charged favor
ably for the prisoner, expressing a
good deal of sympathy for him, and
the jury acquitted him. The truth
is, that this is just a case which ju-
dicious prison authorities would
have winked at. OF course, it would
never do to permit prisoners to have
favOrite animals with them, but a
mouse would not be often found in
such a prison, still less the patience
and gentleness requisite to tame it;
and there could have been nothing
but good in ignoring this slight and
exceptional breech of prison rules.
But warders, dressed in a little brief
authority over a very rough set of
men, are almost always tyrannic at
heart. If the prisoner had not been
enraged by the cruel killing of his
little companion, he would have
been a worse man than he is.

The extensive drouth of the past
season seriously damaged the late
potato crop Of this country, conse-
quently prices have been exception
ally high and dealers have sought for
supplies in different localities. Nova
Scotia has furnished large quaint
ties, and for the past month, pota-
toes have been imported largely from
Scotland and Ireland. The quality
of these tubers is generally good, but
not up to the standard of our best
varieties, as Early Rose, Snowflake
or Burbank. In conversation with
one of the principal importers, it
was learned that either Scotch or
Irish could be brought over after
paying a duty of fifteen cents per
bushel, with freight and expenses,
for seventy-five to ninety cents per
bushel, thus leaving a fair margin to
the dealer. The h~eavylrains late in
the season had the effect of causing
the dirt to adhere to the tubers, so
they do not have the smooth appear
ance desired in the New York mar
ket. The varieties are similar to
u Peachblow in size and shape,
but the flesh is more yellow and the
flavor mild.
These potatoes are SHIPPED from
this city in car loads to the manufac-
turing towns in the East and Penn.
sylvania, and even as far South as
Charleston and Savannah. This is
the first season in which an import
trade has been done to any extent in
vegetables, and shows how facilities
for transportation have increased
when heavy bulky articles can be
sent for three thousand miles and
sold at a fair price. An importation
of cabbages from Denmark has also
been fairly successful.-N. Y. Sentry.

A.Ghastly Story.

A Paris correspondent of the Chi
cago Inter Ocean writes:
"The latest story told of Sarah
Bernhard is that before she left
Paris for her six months tour of the
Continent it was her habit to go
often to the Hotel Dieu, the great
hospital Of Paris, to study dying
agony, that she might better portray
it in stage tragedy. She had been
several times to a certain ward to
witness death-scenes, where a young
girl was lying in her last illness.
News came one night to the TRACE
dienne that this young girl vas dy-
ing, and she FASTENED to her CHASTITY
lesson. Clad in deep black, she
seemed very pale and wraith-like as
she glided to her place by the bed
side. No sooner had she seen the
white face bending over her than
the dying girl threw up both hands,
screaming in agony, Il know you
| know you, terrible Demon of
Death Whenever you come to this
room, it is always to summon away
some soul. Oh, | will not go-I am
too young. Oh, go, go, / pray you,
| pray YOU'D And shrieking, she
died, while the actress fell down in a
swoon by the side of the unfortunate
whose death she had FASTENED.
