has not, apparently; reached the eliminating
point. Meanwhile production is being curtailed
in some important lines, with reduction of
wages in others 1t is said that cotton mills in
New England, aggregating over seven thousand
spindles are reducing production and that other
mills will probably follow the example, The
end of this depression Will come surely, if slow
ly, and, as 1t now looks, without any more SeTl-
Gus consequences than have already been eXpe-
rienced. The disease is tedious, but not fatal.
There is much more economy being practiced
than usual, and when nobody is getting into
debt there is Tess danger of financial failures in
the future, save in such cases as have been run
ming from an imprudence entered into in the past.
The export trade is not what it ought to be, or
probably would be if our export staples were
not maintained by speculative manipulation
above the European markets. As a consequence
of this purblind policy OF the bull spectators
in produce, and the advance of the Bank of Eng
land rate, sterling exchange has advanced to
figures dangerously near the gold-exporting
point, thus creating unsettled feeling in finan-
cial circles, albeit money is still a drug in the
market"

A HAPPY EVENT.
A Quiet and UnpretentiOus Wedding
Last Evening.

In this green and yellow melan-
cholly'' existence of ours it is we'll
there should come to US occasionally
the scent Of flowers. The common
affairs of life, when dished up in a
re~pertorial way, become stale and I'M
interesting, and the fact that some
prominent citizen has left the city, to
visit some suburban village to be alb
sent ten or twelve hours and to be
chronicled from day to day, Is simply
barbarous. There was a wedding in
the western part of Mexico last eve
which very materially offsets the
evil of too much sameness in a news
paper. Though the wedding was un-
pretentious, yet there was just as
many bright smiles and full, glad
hearts as if the occasion had been
more propitious. 1t was the old
story, We understand-rather long
-
courtship: hanging on the gate ten
der and loving whisperings in the
silent cleaning; the delicate plush
like touch of the frisky maiden how
close they nestled together when re
turning home from a frolie on some
s%tar-lit evening and how musical sh'
would be, from her waking hour a
early morn, through the live long day
. till eventide, her voice seemed tunet
and moved by an unseen hand. whil'
t he in the pursuit Of his daily@lahor
was full of loves majestic enthusiasm
All of this has been experienced a
one time or another by ever,
one who has been fortunate enougI
to have had a career of love; and an,
one who would put asunder two soul
, like this should be shot on the spot
The happy couple on this occasion
were Mr.. Charles Merryweather @
Whitehall, Ill.,, and Miss Annie Ma
y Bulwer, of the vicinity of Centralia
in this county, but recently of Ill
y nois. The couple left last night fo
Mr.. Merryweather's home in Illinoi:
but they will shortly move to Mi:
8 souri, and make Mexico their hom.
Il The LEDGER wishes Mr.. and Mrs. N
a long life and~a career of muc
pleasure and profit.

Those Dainty Feet.

4 Mexico man, the other day, was
going through the Galloway county
hills, when he found a narrow strip
of timber which was all broken down,
The mystery troubled him a great deal,
for he had not heard of any cyclones
going through that section Of coun-
try. All at once the truth occurred
to him. A Futon girl had been out

summer hunting flowers, and her feet

The Necessaries Of Life,

"Judge Buckner favors removing the

about as near as the Judge ever came TO
rejecting the wish Of his. constituents
1t would be better ~ remove the tax

tobacco and other things that the people

We are sure Buckner thought he would

What Frederick Douglass Says OF His
Marriage.

FROM the Washington Star.
Fred. Douglass, in conversation up
on his recent marriage, expresses as
constituent that there should be any
public comment upon that event. He
simply exercised the right which the
laws accord to every citizen, and as
to the reasoR Of ais selection of a wife
from another race, he says that in
affairs of this sort the choice a not
De determined by any but the persons
themselves. ''As to the why and
wherefore" he added, s'who can de-

disparity in ages had been exagger-
ated. The lady has attained her 46th
year.
Dispatches sent from this city last
night stated that it was understood
that Mrs. Douglass relatives would
attempt to have the marriage annulled.
The only relatives Mrs. Douglass has
in this part of the country are an un-
Gle, Maj. Hiram Pitts, a clerk in the
Treasury Department, who resides on
the place adjoining Mr.. Douglass
home, over the Eastern Branch, and
a sister who came here a few weeks
ago on a visit. 1t is not known that
either of them objects to the mar.
