worth has testified that his best poetry was
created by allowing his mind to direct it.
self iptently upon all the phases of his
subject, and then waiting for a spontaneous
outflow of poetical imagery from his mental
mechanism. Mozart, whose musical faculty
had from childhood been trained with most
assiduous care, had only to think out the
general plan of composition, deciding as
to the place to be given to solo, recitation,
duet, quartet, etc., and then allow his
thought TO work OF itself and evolve its
own results. In the same way trained
mathematicians solve difficult problems.
But most instructive of all is the action of
memory. We endeavor to recall some half.
forgotten fact, name, OF date. After fixing
the attention upon the subject fora certain
length of time, and recalling every access
sible circumstance, we find it better to
withdraw the attention, TO hang up" the
subject, and leave the matter to time. The
general result will be sudden return of
the missing fact to the consciousness. In
all these cases of unconscious cerebral
ton, it is noteworthy that we must first
give direction to the process, and, more
over, that in order to obtain results we
must previously train the automata.-

MARRIAGE CUSTOMS OF TIE KAcHKBs

r. Gordon, who has been exploring the
sources Of the Irrawaddy river, has given
TO the Royal Geographical Society some ad
ditional facts concerning the marriage GUS
toms Of the Kscheen, the curious Burmese
tribe who were described by Lieutenant
Kreitler in the July number of the Popu-
lar Science Monthly. E" When a man and
woman set up house, the man has to give
to the parents of the woman cattle, pigs,
gongs, nuskets, ddS, slaves, clothes, spears
and money T; and for his wife's use ne has
to give coral beads, tdmeingS, jackets,
broadcloths. ETC., according to MS clrcum-
stances, After the gifts the woman is
brought to the mans house, and the man
has to feast the bringers OF the woman with
rice, and curry, and spirits, and liquors,
To the elders, also, be hae TO give blue
waist. cloths, turbans, dds or spears, accord.
ing to their degree. The man then shows
the woman all the work to be done in the
house, and bids her do the work. After
having lived together for a long period, If
the man dies, the woman cannot marry
any one but the elder or younger brother
has to set up house with her. If there be
no brother the deceased mans father (the
woman's father.in-iaw) takes possession of
her and makes her his wife. II an elder
brother dies the younger brother takes
over his wife. If the father dies the son
takes over his fathers wives and makes
them his own, except his own mother. If
a wife dies, the husband goes to her parents
aud asks for another wife, and they have TO
give him her elder or younger sister,
woman who is unmarried, If there be no
sister to give, they have to give female
relative. Husbands and wives must not be
at eumity with each other. Divorce is I'M
known as custom. However bad husband
or wife may be, they cannot separate,
unless, in the case of the husband, he gives
double the amount of what he originally
gave her, and, in the case OF the wife, IN.
less she gives quadruple the amount she
originally received. If the man sets aside
his wife and takes another, the head wife
has the right to take possession OF all the
property of the younger wife, as well as 10
sell her. The young unmarried men and
women, so long as they are not brothers
and sisters, act as they please inside the
apartments of the house." The Kacheen
women wear wsist-cloths dyed black and
blue, five hands long and not very wide.
The jackets are close. fitting, and over them
they have a looser one set off with cowries.
This is probably full dress. Round their
waists they have perforated cowries on three
or four hoops of rattan. From their knees
down to their calves they wear hoops of
rattan. Some women, the wives of the
principal men, tattoo their legs from the
knee TO the ankle. = Popular Science

WASHINGTON AS SLAVE MARKET

Those who have only been acquainted
with Washington and its surroundings
since the time of the rebellion, will hard
" be able to realize the former state of
affairs al the National Capital, as interest
ingly referred to by John Wentworth in
Congressional "reminiscences, as fol-
lows: In lS43 Washington was the great
est slave mart in the United States.
Within sight OF the Capitol, not far from
the lower gate, and near, if not upon, the
land where the public garden now is, was
building with a large yard around it, in
closed with high fence. Thither slaves
were brought from all the slave-holding
region, like cattle in the Chicago stock.
yards, and locked up until sold. There
were regular auction days for those not dis.
posed of at private sale. The Chicago fire
destroyed hard cracker which / had pre-.
served as a specimen by which purchasers
tested the age of slaves. And to this
day, if there is anything that the average
Southern negro does not know, it is his
own age. The slaves were placed upon
a block, and when a question rose as to
age, the auctioneer requested them to
bite from a cracker, which all slave
auctioneers kept for such occasions. The

cate well he could work. Nearly all the
labor of Washington was performed by
slaves, many OF whom were hired from the
neighboring States. The slaves were ex.
pected to collect their wages monthly and
take them home on some Saturday night.
One morning l missed my boots, and when
I went for the bootblack he was missing
also. Alter few days saw procession
of captured slaves, who had sought their
liberty in a Potomac schooner, chained two
and two, conducted toward the slave pen
aud there I noticed my bootblack trudging
along in my boots. had made success
full canvass for Congress in those boots. but
they failed the slave in his canvass for free
dom. He was sold for the Southern mar.
ket, as was customary with captured fugi-
tives, and nay boots went with him. But
whether they were worn out by him upon
come sugar, rice or cotton plantation, or
by his new master, it was useless for me
to inquire. | was a Democrat in those
days. An anti.slavery friend, who stood
by me at the time, observed that the slave
ought to have known that if he ever got
into Democratic boots he would have to go
South, whereas, if he had only stolen his
boots instead of mine, they would have
landed him safely in Canada.
