A Parsons Experience Of We'd
diugs.

Generally speaking, marriages pass
Oft very smoothly, and frequently with
very pretty effects. The brides arc
credited with careful study and pernsal
OF the service for many days before
hand. Sometimes there has been a re.
hearsal. I. have known brides, when
the grooms have failed to make the
proper responses, prompt them im1ne-
diately and with the greatest facility.
The most common mistake of the bride
is g take off only one of her gloves,
whereas both hands are brought into re-
QUESTION III the service. AS for the
men, they commit all kinds of blunders
and bunglings. I have known a man
at that very nervous and trying mo-
ment, follow q clergyman within the
communion rails, and prepare to take
a place opposite him. I have known
a man, when a minister stretched out
his hand to unite those Of the couple.
take it vigorously in his own and give
it O hearty shake. Sometimes more
serious difficulties occur, Some ladies
have had an almost unconquerable re-
lnctance to use the word "obey;" one
or two, if their own statement are to be
accepted, have ingeniously constructed
the word "nobey."a The word, however,
has still to be formally admitted into
the language There was one girl, who
was being married by very kindly
old clergyman, who absolutely refused
to utter the word "obey." The minis
ter suggested that if she were unwilling
to utter the word aloud, she should
whisper it to him; but the young lady
refused to accept even this kind of COM
promise. Further, however, than this
the clergyman refused to accommodate
her; but when he was forced to dismiss
them all without proceeding any far
Their, the recalcitrant young person con.
scented to ''obey."
The difficulty, however, is not always
made On the side Of the lady. On one oc.
casion the bridegroom wished to deliver
a little Grafton qualifying his VOW and de-
scribingin what sense and to what extent
he was using the words of the formula.
He was, of course, given to understand
that nothing Of this kind could be per-
mltted. There was one man who &C.
companied the formula with soto voce
remarks which must have been exceed
ingly disagreeable to the officiating
minister. He interpolated remarks
after the fashion Of Burchell's "Fudge!"'
"With this ring / thee wed; that's super
stition. with my body l thee worship;
that's idolatry." with all my worldly
goods I thee endow; that's he." It is
wonder that such being was not con-
Quoted out Of the church by the beadle.
This puts one in mind OF an anecdote
that is told Of u man who was in his
time cabinet minister. There was a
great discussion on the question wheth:
er man can marry on three hundred q
year. "All I can say" said the great
man, is that when I said, With all
my worldly goods I thee endow,' so far
from having three hundred pounds. I
question whether, when all my debts
were paid, I had three hundred pence"
eyes, my love-" said his wife; "but
then you have your splendid intellect.
II didn't endow you with that, mo

husband. London Society.

Unusually Polite.

Nothing tends more to make the sit
uation agreeable than to be surrounded
with polite attention. This character
istic is most prominent with the pas
senger train attendants of the Wabash
railroad, and has probably contributed
more than any other one feature to-
ward establishing the popularity of
this line. Then the accommodations
are the very best, and the through-car
system simply perfection. Leaving
st. Louis in the morning, after the ar
rival Of all trains from the South, a
palace sleeper runs through to New
York, over the New York Central rail-
road, without change, and there is an
elegant parlor car and free-chair car
for Chicago. In the evening there is
the only through sleeper to Boston,
another one to New York and the two
elegant sleepers and fire-chair car for
Chicago. Dining and buffet cars fur
nish the finest meals and lunches. The
business men and tourists will not for
get these facts when going North and
East this season.

The New Railroad.

81 runway
The Denver Il New Orleans has thus
far travelled rough road, and its way
has been beset with difficulties. But
now there seems to be a CLEAN of light
ahead, in the prospect that financial
aid will be forthcoming, whereby its
extension aud completion TO Il junction
with the Fort Worth and Denver City
will become possible.
II a traveller now wishes to go from
Denver to Texas he must either take
the roundabout way through El Paso,
or else come by way of the Indian
territory and the NJ. k, & II. division
of the Missouri Pacific. The plan OF
the Denver & New Orleans and the
Fort Worth & Denver City, is to con-
struct a direct line between Fort
Worth and Denver.
This line would cross the Panhandle
of Texas, admitted by all TO be one OF
the finest cattle regions in the country
OF the Fort Worth & Denver City
IA miles have been built, and the
earnings are even larger than was ex.
pected. or the Denver & New Orleans
l25 miles of the main line from Denver
southwark, are in operation, upon
which, as we have said, the earnings
owing to an intense and bitter compe.
tition, are very m eager.
But, ii the proposed extension can
be built, the new road will become an
important factor in transportation
matters ofthe West, and its earnings
ought to be large. The company has
been embarrassed so long, however
that people viii be pardoned for some
skepticism as TO the carrying out Of its
plans. 1t is to be hoped. for the sake
of the sections to be benefited, that
the road will be built at once.

SAN DIEGO, June l6.--We are begin
ming to suffer terribly for rain down
here. 1t is true that all of the early
corn which was not nipped by the
frost so as 10 require replantiug, Is
lust about maze, hut there is good
deal of the later planting that, If II
does not get rain soon, will suffer
greatly. Even the grass is beginning
to get too dry and the water in the
range giving out, but still the stock are
fine and fat, though they will fall OIL
soon if the drouth continues much
longer. Yesterday we had every indi-
cation of rain, but instead Of having
our fond hopes realized, 1t turned out
to be one of the very worst sand and
dust storms that the oldest in
habitants of our,City in the Woods ever
remembers to have witnessed. The
wind came from the north and north
east, blowing "a gale, almost cyclone,
and continued until all the rain clouds
were scattered. A few heavy drops
fell, but oh the DUST and dirt YOU
cannot conceive the amount which
covered everything. Even large,
heavy buildings were shaken, and fol
some time fears were entertained that
they would be blown down.
There was sad accident occurred al

MILLIONS OF ORANGES.
Twenty.Foar Steam ships Which Do Lit
tie Else Than Bring Foreign Fruit.
New York Sun.


1t Is said that twenty-four steam
ships are kept busy by one firm in
bringing fruit from Mediterranean
ports to New York. Twelve of them
are passenger vessels, the create I
composed Of fruiI. The
other twelve are freight vessels, whose
Westward cargoes are cOnlposeu wholly
Of fruit. The cargoes are discharged
at a Brooklyn pier, near the WALL
street ferry. The firm has just fin
ished an extensive salesroom,
which is said To constitute
the most extensive fruit market
in this country. Sales take place at
noon on the day after cargo has ar
rived. A crown of importers, brokers,
grocers, vendors and Western buyers
rs always on hand. Each importer To
whom fruit has been consigned opens
two boxes as samples, and the fcon-
tents Of these are Overhauled by pros.
pective buyers.
When the auctioneer mounts his
stand in the salesroom men VINO look
like tramps joslle their fashionably
clad fello w-bidders, and when they
raise their hands the auctioneer is
quick to eaten their bids, for he knows
their checks are as good ~ wheat.
Many of the purchased goods ere
hurried off 10 Chicago, st. Louis aud
other Western shipping points in re-
frigerator carr. In the steamships the
boxes of fruit are piled SD that air can
circulate freely ail about them, and
strong currents of air are kept up
through the holds by means OF wind
sails.
