Marriage in ava

"A letter from Sourabarga, Java, to the
New York Graphic. says: AS a small
party of us were sitting on the wide
piazza of our dwelling house in Java
early evening, Il attention was
called to sounds of Malay music evil
IDENTIFY approaching us. Looking down
the street we saw a procession of native
men ~(Jayanese) marching along to
the m sic, and four abreast. In the
second row there were five. The
centre one was covered by a large
umbrella. / inquired why this man
was SO honored, and was told that he
was to be married. The next day |
was taken to see the house where the
bride lived and where they were MAX
ing grand preparations for the mar
rage. They were constructing a.
large and covered platform of bamboo
for the accommodation of the guests
and the Malay band Of music. On the
succeeding day we heard the same
performers and sew a longer process
sion than the first one. At the head
Of this procession came two wooden
figures imam and woman about eight
feet high. These were hollow, so that
boys could enter and operate TO give
them motion. Next behind them
were the musicians; then an open
carriage drawn by two ponies covered
with flowers and yariously colored
papers cut UP in patterns. Inside sat
the bride and groom. The bride was
deeked with flowers and Jewels, and
her face head and dress were COM
pletely covered with yellow ochre
powder. Il number of carriages
followed the party with rela-
tiYes and friends who were also
adorned with flowers, jewels, etc. On
the third day / was invited to attend
he wedding, SO we walked down to the
brides house. There we found the
bamboo platform occupied by a band
II music and an exhibition of marion
cites. which personated characters in
legeRdsot the Jayanese people. The
The Opelousas courier., 1884-12-13

hadii, or native priest, was conducting
this novel show which took our TO
60 through. I, however. was more
anxious to see the bride, and accord
ingly was ushered into the prlnclpai
room. 1t was a large square apart
ment, the front being opened by four
large double doors. In one OF the re-
mote corners on the stone floor was
seated on a handsome mat the BRIDE
elect, with downcast eyes, and IN the
adjacent corner sat the bridegroom
The bride was famed by two little
girls and the groom by two boys. In
the centre of the floor their feast was
spread. The festivities lasted through
the night, and refreshments were
abundantly served to the guests in and
about the house at any time and all
times Just as they called for them. AT
intervals the dancing girls we're intro
duced and the tam-tams for their dance
music. AT the break of day the groom
claimed his wife and escorted her to
his own house. They then had q pro-
cession similar to the first one, except
that the brides presents were seen
carried in front by coolies. At the
eroom's house festivities were con-
tinued according to the length OF his
purse. 1t often happens that these
people use all the money they have on
such occasions. They are improvident
and ordinarily live On very small sums,
obtaining easily the little they need for
| maintenance.
The Opelousas courier., 1884-12-13
Rutteranigk as a BcUerNOc.

A reporter of the Philadelphia Times,
in reply to inquiries about the prevail
ing summer drinks, learned the follow
ing facts from a saloon-keeper:
Several years ago there sprung up a
rage for weiss beer, Il wishy-Washy sort
of drink. About fifty Germans went
into the business. You could get a
schooner of ia tall glass big enough
to battle in-for five cents. That had
it's day; and then came ginger ale and
Apollinaris, ahd after that brown
stout and "half- and-half." Now
there is a strong demand for butter
milk. Yes, it is a queer drink for a
bar-room; but it has several recon-
mendations. A man might drink a
barrel of it, if he could, without getting
tipsy. He wouldn't raise the neigh
borhood shouting and singing. He
wouldn't want to fight all the fellows
in the night car, or beat his wife when
he got home"
But only asmall proportion of the
production of the diaries is absorbed
by the bar-room trade. On Ridge ave-
nue., above Broad street, is the princi
pal distributing depot, where the pro-
duct of the gentle Jersey and Alderney
herds of a number of renowned dairy
men is disposed Of
1.-The demand runs the whole year
round for buttermilk," said an attend
ant at the dairy. "In the winter time
it is only about one-half WHAT is now.
If it were very hot now, as it was a
few weeks ago, we would sell 1000
quarts a day. In this sort of weather
we are vending 700 to 800 quarts. It
depends altogether on the temperature
to increase the demand and sale. We
have many customers to whom it is
served by the advice of their physi-
clans, who recommend it in cases OF
dyspepsia and kidney diseases. We
have several doctors who buy and
drink it by the glass themselves. One
physician has sent over twenty custom
ers here, and all have declared them
selves benefited by the beverage.
81 don't think the Irish are the prin-
cipal purchasers. We sell a great deal
by the quart, probably about half we
dispose of. The Germans appear to
be becoming better customers than the
Irish, who have always been noted
drinkers of buttermilk. The Germans
find that buttermilk is as good as beer
which it is superseding. Inever ques
toned any of those who bought it by
the glass, but I have heard it well
spoken of as a remedy in dyspepsia,
