The custom Of decoration by green
plants and flowers in all sorts Of festivals,
says Charles Dudley Warner in Hayper's
Magazine, Is as old as history, and Of
course the use OF evergreens at Christmas
needs no explanation, nor Is the custom
any less Christian because il is Of I'M
memorial use among pagan nations. The
mistlet0e, however, had unique place.
The Celtic people and the Druids held it
In the same veneration that the Romans
did. It was used by the Romans in re-
Iigious ceremonies, and it may have been
the golden bough'' Of the internal
regions. The Druids gathered it
against the festival Of the winter solstice
with great solemnity, the prince Of the
Druids cutting it himself with golden
sickle 1t was used as charm against
evil spirits, and excellent medical prop
critics are ascribed to it. II was supposed
to possess the power to preserve from
poison, and.the mystic property of Civ
ing fertility. kissing under the mis-
tIetoe" may have had reference to this
ancient belief. There was tradition
that the maid who was not kissed under
bough of mistlctoe at Christmas would
not be married during the following
year. There was once o notion that its
heather origin should exclude it from
the Christmas decorations; but this found
no favor with the young people at any
period. On the contrary, they took good
care that it should be HING, and that it
should have plenty of berries, for the
ceremony under it was not duly per-
formed II berry was rot plucked off
with each kiss, and consequently the
supply of berries determined the number
Of kisses It did not need the Roman
use Of the plant to recommend such a
preventive Of the state Of oldmaidism.
Some trace the use Of green bush decora-
ton to the original branches of
vervain among the Romans. With
Romans and Druids the vervain
was q panaccea for every i'll, and
| they believed, above all, that it ICON
ciliated hearts which were aE variance
another good Office Of any plant in the
Christmas season. The Druids only
venerated the mistletoe that grew on the
oak, but the common nistletoe (Viscus
album), with its pearly berries, is gath
cred from the hawthorn. the old apple
tree, the lime. and the fir, and from other
trees OF late years this parasite has
been scarcer than formerly, and efforts
have been made to propagate It. This is
done by cleaning Off the bark under any
joint Of young tree With the moistened
thumb, and then pressing the glutinous
berry on the cleaned place till il adheres
to the bark; it will begin to show
growth in about fifteen months. It is
anobvious suggestion that in sections Of
tho country where the statistics show q
falling of in marriages this plant ougb'
| not 20 be lot die out.

Invested himself Of his coat, and hung it
across the fence, the skirts dangling over
the land belonging to Liberal. This was
fine time to get redress, the object Of
which was merely to teach his ungenerous
neighbor lesson; and he availed him

which he completely severed the tails

SHE WHIPPED TIE WIDOWS

BY THE JEALOUS WIFE OF AN

.-. o.. ENGINEER.
Special to the Baltimore American.
TRENTON, n. j., October 26.-
The plucky little wife of Engineer
Myers, 0fthe Delaware, Kackawanna
and Western railroad, distinguish
ed herself, and created no little sens
sation at Hackettstown last evening,
by cowhiding two young women
who have been flirting with her
husband. Mrs. White and Mrs,
Trimmer are widows. They are
constant companions, and both fond
of flirting as an innocent pastime.
Nearly every afternoon, when the
goodlooking engineer would come
into the depot on his locomotive,
they would be there sweetly to
smile upon him. He seemed to en-
joy the sly firtatian, and always
had a soft glance to bestow upon the
widows. The gossips, however,
heard of the sport, and his wife was
informed of her husbands sly ways.
She accordingly went to the station
last evening to meet the train. She
found that two other ladies were
also waiting for her husband.
Promptly on time, in rushed the
train. The widows waved their
handkerchiefs. The wife stood q
little in the background and be-
held her husband return the saluta-
tation, with as sweet smile as his |
smoke,begrimed face could twist up |
With eyes flashing, the angry wife
then drew a long, thin cowhide
from the folds of her dress, and hpr-
rying up to the smiling widows, laid
the blows on their backs thick and
fast. First on and then the other
she cut across the shoulders with
the cowhide, Several bystanders
tried to interfere, but the lrate wo-
man slashed away at them to, while
alighted from the train
stood astonished and amused. The
husband hid himself from view in
his caboose. The oowhiding opera
ton lasted but a minute or two,
when strong hands held the little
woman and relieved her of her
weapon. While she was whipping
he two women she cried out re-
oeatedly. aYon tirted with my
husband did yeu? Well, Ill teach
7ou not to-" And the swish, swish

NASHVILLE, October %, "a.
To the Editor Of The Morristown Gazette:
1 am much gratified to learn thro
the columns of your paper, which
only reached me about an hour ago,
that we have Prohibition electoral
ticket for President and Vice Presi-
dent in our State. Perhaps it was
published in our Nashville dailies,
but if so 1t has not fallen under my
notice, your paper of Wednesday
brining me the first intimation l
have had Of the movement. 1t is a
COED thing, and though it appears
at so late an hour in the day, L hope
that a goodly number Of temper
ance men will rally to its support,
at least to show to the army of Sa-
tan that we do not fear to confront
him and his mighty hosts of evil,
though we be but as an handful OF
the voters at the polls in November.
The Prohibition ticket ought to have
been the first in the field instead OF
the last; but."better late than new
err" hail it with real delight, as
a promise of good to come to my
State and fellow-citizens, even the
abolition, at no distant day, OF the
wholesale and retail drink houses
and liquor and beer manufactures
of Tennessee. Though itnecessitateG
my withdrawal, so far as the Presi'
Dental election is concerned, from
the Democratic party which L have
served and chung to in foul weather
and fair, and through evil report
and good report all my life-and
though it compells me to vote in OPP
position TO a personal friend on the
Democratic ticket, yet as Christian
citizen, with an eye single to the
glory of my God and the welfare OF
my country, for one, shall, if God
will that / live, vote for st. John
and Daniel, the Prohibition ticket
In November; and l ask you. geA:
tlemen of THE GAZETTE, TO publish
this declaration of my purpose, in
the hope that its publication may
influence some others of my friends
to follow my example.
Allow me to add in conclusion,
that 1 am not a member of any tenn
Perance organization in this State !;
if 1 had been probably | should
have known of the movement be-
fore. They have, as by common
consent, up to the present bad con-
troll OF active temperance work, and
l honor them for all they have ddon
but the great strength of Prohi-
bition is In the moral sentiment and
patriotism of the people, whose call
to duty now l hear above the clam
or of the old party-bugle, and take
my stand under the Prohibition
flag, firmly persuaded that "the God
