Don't you know it is a violation OF

in one corner of the room. Turning to
him, the woman said sharply: You

now, give it up to me at once must

Key looked nonplussed. He knew
he couldn't convince the woman that
she had violated the law, and, after
short conversation with the station

a Russian Wedding Feast.

The banquet is ordered at some FASH
ionable confectioner' Nothing is
wanting--silver, crystal, flowers aud
lustres laden with candles of the purcSt
wax. The young married pair occupy
seats about the middle of the table,
their parents supporting them on both
sides, the rest of the company taking
seats according to the degree of the re-
lationship or rank. If they want
grand dinner they order general rs"
dinner, which costs $50 more than an
ordinary one. At this dinner, so or
dered, the master OF ceremonies invites
real old pensioned off general, who is
received with all the reverence due to
his rank and seated in the place of hon
or. He is the first to drink to the
health of the young couple, and is AL
ways helped before anyone else. He
never speaks unless it is absolutely
necessary. He is only there for show
and does his best in return for the 500
paid him. He never refuses single
dish of the thirty or more served on
such occasions. As the last roast dis
appears, the champagne corks hy, the
glasses are filled to the Drim, the music
strikes up, and huzzas resound from all
parts. But here comes the brides IA
Their, glass in hand, going up to her
bowling and making most woeful face,
saying that his wine is so bitter that he
cannot drink it until she has sweetened
it. After great deal of pressing she
arises and gives her husband kiss;
her father still pretends that his wine
is bitter, and it remains so until she
has given her husband three kisses;
each kiss not only sweetens his wine,
but is accompanied by roars of laugh
ter and bursts of applause. After the
dinner comes the ball and the "gener-
ais walk. They lead him through all
the rooms every half hour; every body
salutes him as he passes along, and he
gracously replies by an inclination Of
his head. AT .ast, at 3 clock in the
morning, all the young girls and those
who dressed the bride take her away to
undress her and put her to rest; the
men do the same by the husband. The
next morning the house Of the newly
married couple is again filled with the
crowds of the evening before The
young vii is seated in a drawing-room
on sofa with a splendid tea service
before her. One after the other APP
proaches her and salutes her. She then
offers tea, coffee or chocolate, accord
ing to the taste Of the visitor. She Is
enthroned for the first time in all splen-
dor as the mistress of the house. The

ALBRIGHT-THOMAS JOINT DIS
CUSTOM.
Correspondence Bulletin.

MARION. ILL.,, Sept. 20.
The first of q series of joint discussions
between Hon. F. E. Albright, Democratic
candidate for Congress, Goth district, and
Hon. John r. Thomas, Republican candi-
dale for same, came off here to-day. The
meeting opened at p. nj.
As your readers are aware, if Mr. Al
bright had not been i'll he would have met
Mr.. Thomas at Cairo, Mound City, Golcon-
da and Vienna, notwithstanding Mr.. Thorn
as had refused to arrange for the discus
sions, did not consult Mr.. Albright about
the matter, fixed up programme to suit
himself, and acted arbitrarily about the
matter altogether. People up here have
been informed that at Cairo and Mound
City Mr.. Thomas, finding Mr.. Albright alb
sent, denominated him coward and de-
clared he was afraid to meet him in joint
discussion, Notwithstanding he had made
the challenge. Candid readers of all par
ties are led to draw their own differences az
to the character of Mr.. Thomas premises
in this matter. Besides Mr.. Albright's i'll
nesa, he had worn himself out sitting up at
the bedside of his sick father; and, worse
than all, was almost Frustrated with grief
and regrets at his fathers death. Besides
all this, Mr.. Albright had been advised by
members of the congressional committee,
and number of his Democratic friends, to
take no cognizance of Mr.. Thomas arbit-
rary programmes programme made SOLE
ly by Themas himself, and without any
conference with Mr.. Albright or either of
the two congressional committees.
If Mr. Thomas has made anything out of
the gasconade INDUCED in against Mr.. AL
bright at those places where he has spoken,
and where he found Mr. Albright absent,
he is certainly welcome to it. One thing is
certain: Mr.. Albright took Mr.. Thomas
scalp here this afternoon, and will wear il
in his belt at the other points where the
discussions are yet to come off.
The day has been fine, and notwthstand-
ing the limited amount of advertising and
the brief time afforded for the people TO
take notice, on account of Mr. Thomas
great haste, the attendance was quite large,
and was made up OF about an equal num-
Der Of the more intelligent Democrats and
Republicans Of Williamson county.

To Distribute Life Prcservers Rapidly.

A workshop in Brooklyn has on the
ceiling m iron shotbolt Attached to
the head of the bolt are two ropes run
ming over and under pulley wheels.
The toe of the bolt is kept shut and
holds the end Of wire, which runs
through the shop and is connected with
other wires which pass through rings
at the sides of the shop. Weights
hang from the middle wire and life
preservers, done up in balls. are hooked
on TO the side wires. When either OF
the two cords is pulled the bolt opens,
the weights drop and life preservers
bounce of their support on TO the floor.
1t is all invention by Ernst Bauer for
the quick distribution of life preservers
on board vessels, The appliance is in
tended to work in all the compartments
of a ship. One of the two ropes is de-
signed to lead to the pilots rooms. and
the other TO the engine-room, A yank
at the rope will drop life preservers all
over the vessel. The preserver has the
form of q vest for the use of men and
the form Of corset for the use Of
women. 1t consists of double layers
of cloth covered with India rubber and
weighs only fourteen ounces. Ii must
be inflated by the wearer.

Edward Ev 'rctt.

The nomination of Edward Everett
as minister to Great Britain met with
unexpected opposition from some of the
southern senator's. When action was
taken upon it, one OF them called
the attention Of the senate to q
published correspondence. which he
held in his hands, between MIR. Everett
and certain aoolitionists who had adj
dressed to him a series of questions
touching the subject of slavery. The
language of Mr.. Everett's letter, which
was written when he was q candidate
for governor of Massachusetts, was
said to be very strong and such as none
of the southern senator's considered TO
be justifable The senator. having
read the correspondence. made it tho
text of a strong denunciatory speech
against Mr. Everett, earnestly and ve-
hemently appealing to the representa-
tives of the southern interests and iu-
stitutions in that body to record their
sentence of condemnation against such
dangerous sentiments by rejecting the
nomination of a man by whom they
were put forth.
The correspondence. together with
the speech of the senator who brought
it forward, arrested the attention of the
whole senate, and awakened new and
strong apprehensions among the friends
OF Mr.. Everett as to the fate of his nom-
ination. Soon after the senator in
question had arisen from his seat and
commenced speaking, Mr.. Clay was
observed to pause in his walk to and
fro, and, as the senator from the south
proceeded in his speech, he (Mr. c.
became more and more interested, I'M
til, at length, he returned to his accus-
toned seat, and was standing by it
when the gentleman who occupied the
floor finished his speech with the fol-
lowing emphatic language: IF. under
these circumstances. Mr.. President,
the senate shall confirm the nomination
of Mr.. Everett, | consider the union
virtually dissolved.
"And l say, sir, said Mr.. Clay, in
stantly taking up the words of the hon
orable senator. THAT if this senate sit
ting on the nomination of Mr.. Everett,
or any other man as minister to u for
eign court, shall take upon itself to re-
ject that nomination on the ground that
the person nominated has expressed TO
his neighbors and fellow citizens of tue
state to which he belongs sentiments
not in accordance with our own, yet in
no way impeaching his character or af-
fecting his qualifications for the postto
which he was nominated. then, sir"
said Mr.. Clay, elevating himself to his
full height, and raising his voice to
that clarion-like tone of imprisoned
eloquence for which he, above all liv-
ing men, was SO justly distinguished,
then, sir, tell the honorable gentle
men in this senate that we have no
longer union to dissolve!' Proceed
ing from this point, Mr.. Clay poured
forth for the space of about ten min

heard in my life. And that speech set

A Queer Way to Sell Beer.

A party who went fishing from
Washington few days ago had an
amusing experience in getting some
beer near the edge of Montgomery
County, Maryland. They were direct
ed to store where beer was kept, and
the merchant said he had some bottles
on ice. Two bottles were called for.
He produced them and said to the per-
son ordering the beer, "come on"
The merchant passed out of his store,
beer in hand, followed by the wonder
ing Washingtonian. Two or three
hundred yards were traversed, and
just as the puzzled angler was begin
ming 10 think he had struck a mailman
the merchant stopped, handed over the
beer, and named his price. When the
money was paid to him he said: You
see, local option prevails in Montgom-
cry County. and I've brought you over
the line into Frederick County, where
there is no law against selling liquor"
The couple returned to the store where
the merchant produced glasses, saying
there WAS no objection TO drinking the
beer on his premises, since it had not
been sold within the county.
The merchant positively refused TO
sell any beer unless the party wanting
it would accompany him across the
county line. He owns a large farm as
well as the store, and speaking OF local
option he said: Its good law and
! won't violate it. His ncighbors
testify that he rigidly adhered 10 his
rule Of crossing the county line, even
when his regular customers were pur-
chasers. -Jsask.ugtoR STIR.
