Elm street near the stock yards, was con-

\ AN UNKNOWN MAN DROWNED.

Yesterday morning Henry Jackson, COL
ored, lodged information with Justice Ken,
dali that man had drowned In the bend OF
the Trinity, mile and half below the
bridge. He saw him foundering In the
water while on his way to the bottom to cut
wood 1t was q white man and the witness
to the drowning who was powerless to reach
him in time to extend assistance, saw him
clutching his hat in his right hand while he
beat the water desperately in his
main land. How he got into
the water unless he jumped in is Il mys'
terry. There was no horse, boat or veniels
near to indicate that he had drowned
while trying to cross the stream, aud II u
hardly reasonable to suppose that he would
attempt to ford or swim The river with his
clothes on, Constable George Miller, &C
oompanied by Jackson and Mr.. William
Thomas, repaired to the scene and sue
oeeded in rescuing the remains, which vert
brought 10 the city and turned over to I'm
dertaker Smith for burial. Ii

Novel Marriage Customs.

The people now living in the Northern
Turkestan steppes consist for the most
part of Turkish race generally called
Kirghese, of which the two sections are
the Kara Kirghese living in the noun
tains of the south, while the Kirghese
of the plains called themselves KAYAKS.
The manifold circumstances connected
with marriage among the Kirghese are
somewhat formidable, and involve the
payment of a kahn besides the giving
of various presents. The affair is
arranged as to its preliminaries by
matchmakers, and the bridegroom after
betrothal, has sometimes to wait for
year or more, until he can bring the
remaining portion of the kahn. If
during this period the betrothed girl
should die, her parents are bound to give
instead their next daughter, or in de-
fault to return the kalim and pay also
a fine of one or two horses and robes or
furs. So also is it if the girl should
refuse to marry, which she may do on
account of the suitor's ill-health, or his
poverty, or Tin some localities) her per-
sonal dislike. Yet another custom is
that if the bridegroom die or refuse to
marry Gu6 S1Il, Ills parents dNS OOluO "
take her for their next son, paying a
fine, usually a camel, in case of refusal
When the prescribed period of betrothal
is at an end, the bridegroom, dressed
and mounted at his best, goes with his
friends to the aul or village of the bride,
where the tent has been prepared for
his reception. Throughout the cere-
monies of betrothal the brides brother
has the right of pilfering from the bride
groom whateverhe pleases; but now the
brides relations come and take as pres
ents, almost everything he hasmhis coat,
hat, girdle, horse, and saddle, saying
each one that they are for the education
of the bride-a seizure that is afterward
repaid by the relations of the, bride
groom on the visit to the relations
of the bride. The brides parents are
bound to give up to the bride when the
kahn is paid, giving her IN dowry a
kibitka or tent, camel or riding horse,
and cattle, also a brides head-dress,
called saoltkele, or, if poor, another
called iGOulOuk, besides a bed, crockery
and a trunk of wearing apparel.
