Organic Weakness

This Affliction-Which renders life burden
and marriage impossible-is the penalty paid
to the victim of improper indulgence. Young
persons who are apt to commit excuses from
not being aware OF the dreadful consequent
ces that may ensue. Now, who that under
stands this subject will deny that proorea-
ton is lost sooner by those falling into i'm
proper habits than by the PRUDENT Besides
being deprived OF the pleasures OF healthy
offspring, the most serious and destructive
symptoms of both mind and body arise. The
system becomes deranged, the physical and
mental functions weakened, loss OF proerea-
tive power, nervous irritability, dyspepsia,
palpitation of the heart, Indigestion, consti-
tutfonal debility, wasting of the frame, cough
consumption and death.

| IT is said that Charles Goodnight
owns farm or ranch ON the Red riv
er, in the Panhandle or northwestern
corner of Texas, which contains 700,
900 acres, enclosed with $50 miles of
wire fence. Also, that he bought it
for so cents to ST. an acre. As the
whole state of Rhode Island has land
surface of only 1,085 square miles, or
694, 400 acres, this single farm con-
tains 5000 acres more than that state,
and one and three-quarter such farms
would nearly use up the land surface
of the state of Delaware, which con-
1000 square miles, or 1,254,000 acres.
But Texas, with its 262, 200 square
miles of land surface, or 1877 1865, 900
acres, would supply about 240 of such
700, 900 acre farms.

How Senator Garland Ate the Soap.

Another d'gnitied senator has been
taught the mysteries of an ostensible
caramel which one Of the boys of his
hotel had invented for the purpose of
making miserable the lives of other
children. The senator owed Garland
one, and saw his opportunity. He pro-
cured some of the alleged sweets and
placed them carelessly on his desk.
The game succeeded. Garland spied
the deceptive chocolates, and careless
ly sauntering by, picked up one of
them and said: What are these, sem
atorP" They are caramels. Take
one. - ''Ihank you, will" and he
took one. Now, the caramel was filled
with soap, and the jokers expected to
see Garland spit out the nauseous
stuff. That was where the laugh was
to come in. But Garland disappoint-
ed them. He ate up the whole thing,
soap and all, and never made a sign.
The perpetrator became frightened
and ran out into the eloak-roOm, ex-
claiming, Good Lord, I'm afraid the
mans poisoned" "Oh, you needn't
be alarmed said Butler, OF South Car
DINA; "Garland's rot an Arkansas
stomach TO this day no one knows
whether Garland tasted the soap or
not. - Washington Capital.

The Daily Bulletin.
Married by Proxy.

Among the cabin passengers on the
bark Veronica, which arrived at this
port from Fayal recently, says the
New Bedford mercury, was young
lady, perhaps twenty years of age,
quite pretty, who was registered on the
passenger list by the modest title of
Louisa Augusta de Oliyera. This young
lady was married at the islands several
weeks ago, yet singularly the first
glimpse Of her husband was obtained
through the cabin window of the We
ronica, as he stood on Propeller Wharf
impatienlly waiting for the vessel to
come alongside the dock.
The steward OF the Veronica explain
ed TO reporter that marriage by proxy
was not uncommon among the island
ers. 1t is becoming popular, for worse
than awkward results have frequently
followed where the girl has Travelled a
long distance to meet the man to whom
she is betrothed, and the latter refuses
to marry because the young lady does
not realize his anticipations. Careful
mothers are accordingly averse to send
ing away their daughters on this G. o.
d. subject to approval principle, and
now demand some guarantee of good
faith.
The courtship in the present instance
was conducted by friends of the young
lady and gentleman. Photographs
were exchanged and the compact was
made. The bridegroom forwarded a
power Of attorney, and the ceremony
OF marriage was performed by priest
at Fayal, marrying the young girl to
man thousands Of miles away. The
play of Hamlet with Hamlet left out
can be no comparison to wedding
without bridegroom.
With her marriage certificate the
young lady engaged passage on the
Veronica, and exhibited some impa-
thence, so the steward says, at the
length Of the passage. As the vessel
came NJ the harbor she grew pardona-
bly, anxious, and scanned the wharf in
tently as the vessel was locked. At
length a young man came into the cab
in, and said man on the wharf sent
him to see if his wife was aboard. The
steward asked him to point out the
man, which he did. The girl exhibited
the liyelicst interest, and looked her
husband over with critical and, on
the whole, approving eye.
The messenger returned with the
husband. The girl blushed, the hus-
band smiled, and they prosaica!ly
shook hands. Each was apparently
completely satisfied with their venture,
and The husband bore his young wife
proudly away.
