''Twentv-three hundred and four last
night, :" answered Squire Mayes, who
was found comfortably seated in an ele-
giant armchair at his residence in West
Alexander, in response to query put
by your correspondent. Mr.. Mayes is a
Justice of the Peace, and the number
twenty-three hundred and four meant
he had married that many couples.
West Alexander, the home of the joiner,
is small town of five hundred souls on
the line of the Great National Road, pc
tween Cumberland, Nd, and Terre
Haute, Ind. Joseph Finley Mayes, the
name of the celebrated knot-tier, is
probably sixty years of age, tall. but by
no means a heavy weight. Within
year or two he has taken unto himself
third wife. His father Joined together
eighteen hundred and sixty happy souls.
He, too, was a Justice of the Peace. A
record Of all the marriages solemnized
by him is in the possession of his son.
The latter received his commission in
1862, and at the end of the first term of
five years had Joined together in the
holy bonds of wedlock two hundred and
ninetY-three couples; the second term,
three hundred and sixty-nine; the third
five hundred and seven; the fourth, and
and thirty-fve, making a grand total
of twenty-three hundred and four
couples. A glance at the 'Squire's
record shows many curious facts and
incidents. Up to 1865 the fee allowed
by law was two dollars; during that
year it was increased to three dollars.
The least he ever received was ninety
cents; generally the regular fee was
paid, One happy groom left a twenty
dollar bill with the Squire. No license
is required in Pennsylvania. West Vir-
GINA and Ohio, being so close, furnish
much of the marrying timber; though
nearly every section of the United States
is Represented. About thirty couples were
of African descent; fifty of the groOms
bore the name of Smith. On one Occa-
sion four couples were upon the
floor ready for the ceremony to begin,
when a ring at the doOr-bell announced
other arrivals, who came on the same
mission. Instead of the four couples,
six were at the same time pronounced
husbands and wives. - Washington Pa

How Old May q Nan Live

In a Bessarabian province lives one
Savtchuk, who, at last accounts, was
one hundred and thirty years old. He
is what is called a little Russian by
birth. His eldest son is eighty seven
years old. and is far more decrepit than
the father. The one family has multi
piled into fifty families. The age Of this
Russian is, of course, not as well au-
thenicated as that of old Parr, the
Englishman. 1t has been noted that
reported cases Of extreme old age al
ways occur in the ranks of the very
poor whose date of birth can rarely be
verified, while kings, mobiles and men,
berS of noted families, whose records
are Kept, in no age or country have ever
lived q hundred years. Generalzing
from this fact, distinguished English
writer, Mr.. Lewes, gives it, as his judg-
ment, that it is very doubtful if any hu-
man being can claim the distinction of
being a centenarian. Yet from the
analogy of the animal races, every child
that is we'll born should live a century.
The rule seems to be that animals live
five times the length of their
adolescence, that is they ought
to live five times longer than
the period it takes to attain their full
growth. There is no question but what
the whole human race does not enjoy
the health and vigOr which it is possible
to attain. There is some defect in the
constitution of even the strongest of our
race. In the golden age of humanity
vet to come, every child will be well
born. Its life and HABITS will conform
to the scientific laws controlling cur
existence on this earth, and then mans
environment will help him to active tie
highest possible physical vitality. To-
day the great bulk of the human IA 9
are born with weak strains in their blood.
They eat improper food. use hurtful
stimulants as drink. They are poisoned
by malarias and subject to COnta gions
due to their surroundings. The two
great objects of the best men and wom-
en- in this life should he first to improve
the race itself, morally and physi ally,
and secondly, to make this earth on
which man lives a fit abode for the
superior people who VIII then occupy it.

Evolution in Buckwheat Cakes.

"Buckwheat cakesn said man in
down town restaurant. wheat cakeSw
said another man by his side. In
short time the waiter brought three
broad, thin disks, that were white with
in and crisp brown without, to each
man. In looks the cakes were exactly
alike. A man with a sensitive taste
could have determined after one or two
trials that they did not taste alike.
Il ordered buckwheat just because
the name brings up pleasant memories,
said one. Here is a case in which ev-
olution has ruined the thing evolved.
When l was a boy my father used to
carry buckwheat to mill and bring back
a grayish flour. My mother mixed it
up at night and next morning l sat
down to breakfast before a heap-but
no matter, we won't talk about it.
Eyes, but you said something about
evolution spelling the thing evoluted.
What was the thing evoluted?'
The buckwheat flour. The buck
wheat of my youth was cleaned and then
ground between the stones like any other
grain. Not long ago a man who wanted
to make beautiful flour to look at
concluded that he could do so if he
could entirely remove the shuck from
the kernel of buckwheat. To do this
he made machine that consists of four
serrated or corrugated rollers. Two are
placed at the end of a screen over
which the grain passes and as the grain
drops between them it gets nip that
breaks it up and separates about all the
meats from the husks. Then the meats
drop through a short screen. and the
husks pass on through the second set OF
rollers. They are further broken up
and the remaining meats are separated.
The meats are ground, and this white,
tasteless stuff is the result.
THAT was only the complaint of a
man who thinks there are no times like
the old times, said a -four dealer to
whom the above was related. If he
wants ground husks instead of clean
-four he can get it, and for less money.
Few mills now grind the shucks and all
together, but the: -four is to be had. If
the new process -four was not better than
the old it would not now be taking the
lead. IN Y. Sun.

Stranded Whales

A dispatch to the Halifax Herald,
from Windsor, Nova Scotia, says that
the school of blackfish and pOrpOises
that came into the basin of Minas about
a month ago was much larger than
first reported. For several days the
fish were seen sporting about in the
water of the basin, feeding. Then
they appeared to have lost their reck-
oning. and many got stranded on the
bars at the entrance of the Avon River.
One afternoon the school headed up the
town on the flood tide, presenting a
magnificent and novel sight as they
passed the Windsor wharves. They
were pursued by boats and steam-tugs,
and everybody who owned gun or
could borrow one Joined in the chase.
A good deal of powder and lead were
wasted, but the number of fish obtained
in that way were few. The school re-
turned with the ebb tide and for three
DAYS the same thing continued, until
not one fish is said to have escaped to
tell the tale. The largest portion of
them were stranded on the mud fats,
where they were left high and dry to
perish. Altogether, it is said, some
three hundred of these monsters of the
deep were secured on the Avon and st.
Croix, the largest number of which
were black fish, which is a small
species of whale. Some were an enor-
nous size and would weigh nearly two
tons each. A dozen or more were tied
to a wharf at Windsor one morning;
the largest measured twenty-five feet in
length. The blubber of these animals
yields an enormous quantity of VALUABLE
oil, and if it has all been taken care of
will prove quite a source of profit Al
together, at least fifteen thousand gal
Ions of oil must have been obtained from
the three hundred fish secured, which
should yield profit Of about $4,000.

THE COMING YEAR.

AS things are now, there is no adequate
reason for concluding that the business of
the country is to find still lower level in
1884, but on the other hand the enforced
stopping of mills and further reduction
of wages in the concerns still in operation
may bring about further depression.
