Mr.. Rhome also described the ceremony of
marriage among the Indians of his country.
The bridegroom, in order to show his
courage and power of endurance, places
his hands in large basket-work glove,
filled with one of the worst species
of biting and singing ants; with this marriage
glove he has to parade through the limits of his
village He is accompanied by the bride who
encourages him with songs and inspiring re-
marks. If the agony he experiences from the bites
and stings proves too great for him to stand, the
match is broken off. If he is able to hold out
till the journey is completed he gets his wife, but
for several days he has to hold his hands in
water to ease the pain of the poisoned parts.

BRITISH POLITICS.
Discussion of the Franchise Bill Will BE Left
TO the Conservatives.

LONDON, Oct 24-Contrary to his usual Gus
tom. Mr.. Gladstone, in his speech in the House
of Commons, last evening, read from manuscript
the passage in which he referred to the possible
reform in tal House of Lords
The Liberals have agreed to refrain from par
taking in any discussion of the franchise bill.
The Times IN leading article advises the
government to proceed with the subject of re-
distribution as soon as the franchise bill has
been passed by the House Of Commons. In that
case the Lords would have no pretext for reject
ing the franchise bill The Times likewise adj
vises the House of Lords to pass the franchise
bill without delay, and then direct its attention
to reform of its own constitution. Such a
reform, the Times thinks, would be best effected
by the lords taking the initiative themselves.

auspieious day for rally Blaine was to pass
through this city, and that announcement drew
thousands to the city who never would

Democrats are tickle minded and are never
quite certain of what they want Or will do They
had arranged for their meeting in Essten Grove,
where stand and seats were made, but they
concluded that it was not safe to subject them
selves to the magnetizing influence of James

erected in the center of Main street and Elsten
avenue, so they held their meeting in
the fair ground. Colonel Gray and
Governor Hubbard were the speakers. AT no
time were there over 1000 people in the fair
ground, and before the speeches were concluded
the crowd had dwndled toless than two hundred.
The main feature of the procession was mum
