A lively correspondent of the Flem-
mington Rambler describes a wedding in
the mountains. We extract:
THE CEREMONY.
'Tom, do you take this female for better
or for worse!"
Certainly, squire; cum purpose"
responded Tom.
"Delilah, do YOU take this man and
promise TO stick TO him through thick AMI
thins"
"You bet, old hoss, answered Delilsh,
"d'ye s'pose I'd have these fixins for eu-
nything less'n msrriage:"
"Then | pronounce you man and wo-
man-no, husband and wife, and msy the
Lord haye mercy on your souls. Amen"
TIE SUPPER.
The supper was excellent, consisting Ia
part Of pancakes, maple molasses, ginger
bread, hominy and venison.
A toast, "Bully for the BRIDE" was
drunk standing; and thirty-three Of the
crowd were drunk sitting.
MAKE-UP OF TuE BRIDE AND GROOM.
The bride was arrayed in gorgeous
calico OF the Dolly Warden pattern, bril-
liant with all the colors Of the rainbow;
each separate color representing some
feathcred bped, from gobblcrs TO peas
cocks. Instead OF the customary orange
blossoms in her hair, there was an enor-
nous variegated imitation OF hollyhock.
Pinned on top Of her head, aud extending
to her waist, was scarlet ribbon four
inches vile, doing duty as the bridal veil,
with the solitary aud not worth noting
difference that il was behind instead OF
before. The bridegroom was gotten up
without regard 10 expense; blne jeans
coat, surmountcd with brass buttons
about the size OF silver quarter; said
coat built on lie "vlaw- Hammer" or
",cissor-tail" order Of architecture; nut
colorcd pants, with red flannel stripes
scwcd down The seams Of the legs; white
flannel vest with eagle buttons aud cotton
velveI collar; brogan shoes, creased with
lard and tied with coon skin strings.
THR PRESENTS.
The wedding presents were numerous
and intended for use rather than orna-
men., as follows:
bread tray; ! dozen iron spoons;
sausage grinder; wash tubs; ; Hat irons;
half dozen brooms; hall dozen tia eaps
aud pans; 3 stew pots; 2 skillcts aud
variety of other articles not now rrmcm-
bcred.
There was one article the use Of which
your correspondent was not able TO asccr-
tain--a sugar trough with rockers on II.
Upon asking information OF the bride, She
blushcd slightly, elevated her delicate
nose aud remarked: ..,
"Of all the fools ever see, cditurs anl
preachers are the biggest"

"krao," the Missing Link.

"Krao," the so called "missing link, "
| whose history and appearance has consid-
erably exercised scientists aud amused
the curious in Europe, arrived in Phila-
delphia recently, in charge Of George
Shelly, who accompanied Carl Book, the
traveller, to Siam three years ago, when the
child was captured. Mr.. Shelly sat in an
/ upper room at the Bingham House with
"Krao" beside him and discoursed learn
edly and voluminously on his little charge.
The child, who is believed to be between
eight and nine years Of age, was neatly
dressed in pretty terra Gotta gown, red
| stockings and buttoned kid shoes. Heavy
silver bracelets adorned her hairy arms !;
a cord interviewer with gold thread en-
circled her face. Though the nose is hat
and the face and forehead are covered
with black hair Of varying length and
closcness, the child is saved from repul-
siveness by her remarkably large, dark,
gentle and Intelligent eyes, and her gem
eral expression of sense and good nature.
"Krao," "says Mr.. Shelly, "was captured
with her parents in January, 1881, in the
wilds of the Laos country in Northern
Siam. All of the tribe that have been
seen are completely covered with hair. In
their natural state they live in trees, are
destitdte of clothing, and almost without
language. Their food is fruits, nuts and
fish. They have few implements, and do
not possess the knowledge of fire. The
name Krao' is simply the Siamese for
ape"
Mr.. Shelly, who Is 3 believer in the
Darwinian theory, while not pretending
that "Krao" and her tribe supply the
only link between man and the higher
apes, holds to the idea that these curious
people are allied to the chimpanzee in
many physical points, with much resem-
blance to civilized man il intellect. lie
instances as "Krao's" ape-like character
istics the following facts: She has thir-
teen dorsal vertebre and thirteen pairs Of
ribs, instead of twelve as man. She has
pouches ih the mouth where she still
stores nuts and swcetmeats. Her eranial
measurements correspond with those Of
the higher apes. Her ears and nose are
without cartilage. Her fingers are abnor-
mally flexible. The hair on her body
grows in directions that characterize Tic
Simian hirsutc growth.
"krao," since her captivity, has learn
ed to read, write and speak English, and
has also acquired some knowledge Of
German. From wild, untaught little
savage, she has developed into a docilc,
affec.ionate and remarkably intelligent
child. She still has recollections OF her
wild life in Siam. The child wrote her
name in full, "Krao Farini," with pen
Gil, in Il large, round, copy-book hand,
picked up handkerchief with her toes,
and good naturedly opened her mouth to
show where she had stored away nuts In
her curious ape-likc pouches .-Philadel-
