words passed between them, but
luckily us blood was she'd.
At the letting Of roads at this
place, last Saturday, the bids were
all rejected. I guess we will have
no roads unless some one will agree
10 build them for nothing, and then

is one fact: if they had it in their
power to make us wsrk the road, as
taev have heretofore done, they VOID
saw put BIN on six days, aud if that
is not enough, make il ten days; but
can not do that now, and as they are
now asked to pay tax, they want
the roads worked for nothing.

A New York Brides Idea.

Philadelphia Progress.
A wealthy New York society lady,
who is on the eve of marriage with q
scion of an equally rich house, inaugur-
ates novel idea in weddings. She will
be escorted to the altar by five brides
maids and one ''thald of honor" and
the entire costumes of these young
ladies-handsome ivory-white ottoman
silks, with llouuces of hand-run Span
ish laoe-aro the giftS of the bride.
The presents include even the long kid
gloves, the black silk stockings and the
satin slippers. This is altogether as II
should be. 1t is scarcely reasonable to
suppose that even the six intimate
friends OF the lady are as well of in
this worlds goods as herself Among
tho number there is very apt to be at
least one or two who, not feeling able
to meet the expenses such duty
involves, are obliged to refuse tine invi-
tation to act as bridesmaid. Besides
this, it i, the privilege of the bride to
dictate to her bridesmaids what they
shall wear. Her taste is rarely theirs;
anu many llulcS u COSllJ uIcss' DpuSul
for such an occasion, and made accord
ing to the directions of the bride, is
laid away by its owner and never again
worn. In the case of this New York
bride, she can well afford to make the
gifts, and declares that the comfort
they bring is well worth the outlay.
She can give her orders freely, know
ing that she is to pay for them, and
when the happy morn dawns she knows
that there will be harmony about the
bridal procession that could not well
have been attained had the six dresses
of her bridesmaids been made by as
many different dress makers and by as
many different directions.

This is, perhaps, the first country in
the world which, having produced a
regular government, finds itself, by the
will of its public servants, without any
government at all. 1t would at this
moment be almost as difficult to get TO-
gether the executive officers of the
United States rs to assemble congress.
The head is in Massachusetts, tho arms
and legs in Virginia, Connecticut,
Pennsylvania and Jersey, and the
officers of the several departments are
not any two of them in the same place;
neither is any ono head of the depart
ment in the same spot with his officer.

their fears about the yellow fever, and
should wish to fly in consequence, es-
pecially as their salaries are paid dur

drove them from the city, sense OF
their duty should have taught them to
keep together, and with their offices
in some secure spot where the public
business might yet be transacted. Ii
the affairs of the country do not suffer
from this Unprecedented conduct of
theirs, it will serve to prove one thing,
that We can do without these

celebrations of revolutionary events.
Tho published stories of the anniyer-

read the stories and looked perhaps for

and character of its inhabitants, any
occasion that compels the farmer, the
mechanic, the business or professional
man to think about national affairs, is

have cost much time and money, but

Popular Science Monthly for December.
In direct opposition to the idea OF
mastery through knowledge and con
tinuous effort, we find in luck, the
central idea of which is that a bias in
ourfavor nay pervade events. The no
ton of natural order in events, followed
regardless of persons, substitutes for
the illusion OF luck the truth of mere
coincidence between what we like and
what results. Such favorable coinci-
dences when not read Alright have
wrecked the lives of some men who
mirht otherwise have developed useful
mowers. A careful study of such for
Innate turn of events reveals some un-
pleasant but irresistible facts-that a
sustained favorable coincidence is very
rare and likely to be of doubtful per-
mauent value because there is not a
proper developement of personal
quality whereby no injury will result
from prosperity. The fortunate per.
son tries to swim in sea of new con
ditions which he has not reached by
natural process of growth. The phrase
"alwsys lucky" is open to two objec'
tions not easily set aside, owing to The
profound complexity of events: that the
person may have skill, tact, agreeable
ness; and that there may be error, ow
ing to the special or restricted view o
the person judging. Belief in luck il

ter, requiring action -.-..
