Among the Kirghese the practice Of
poIygamy obtains. Generally the ell
dest brother Of family has more than
one wife. The first wife Is mistress Of
the household, and is called batbtche.
To her are subject not only her hus-
bands other wives, but also all the
other females of the family. The head
Of = household viii often send por-
ton Of his herds several hundreds of
mites away under the care Of this wife,
whilst he himself will either remain
with his other wives about the grazing
ground, or 90 and encamp somewhere
by himself. In winter the family
comes together again. The manifold
circumstances connected with mar
riage among the Kirghese are some
wat formidable, and involve the pay
naent Of kahn, besides the giving Of
vsxious presents. The affair is ar
ranged as to It's preliminaries by
mAtch-makers. and the bridegroom,
af2er betrothal, has sometimes to wait
fog year or more until he can bring
tbe remaining portion Of the kahn.
II during this period the betrothed
gil should die, her parents are bound
togiye instead their next daughter, or
insdefault to return the kalim. and pay
also 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 i'll health,
.orshis poverty, or Gin some locaIities)
her personal dislike.
Yet another custom is that il the.
bridegroom die or refuse to marry the
girl, his parents are bound to take her
for their next son, paying fine,
usually camel, in case of refusal.
When the prescribed period of be-
trothalis 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. Through
out the ceremonies Of betrothal the
bfade's brother has the right Of pilf-
ering from the bridegroom whatever
he pleases; but now the brides rela-
ti9ns come and take as presents almost
everything he has--his coat. hat. CIR
DE, horse, and saddle saying to each
oNe that they are FOR the education Of
tlls brlde--a seizure that is afterward
repaid by the relations Of the bride
groom on the visit to their aul Of the

Now Can See Their Mistake.

The New York u New England under the re-
ceiver, has substantially given up the through
traffic interchange with the Erie, at Newburg,
while the previous management made it one of
its-chief aims to cultivate it Indeed, it was for
that that the extension to the Hudson river was
built The new management claims that this
traffic costs more than the earnings from it.
Still, the earnings of the road since the present
management took hold do not show that the
change has been beneficial The fact is, when
Western men took the management of the New
York q New England road, they at once com
menced placing the road bed and equipments in
good order, patterning so far as their limited
funds would allow after the Pennsylvania PEG
ple and when they had got the property in
good shape to make some money they were
ousted-the folly Of which change is now quite
apparent

A General travelling Ticket.

To Railway Passenger Agents:
Gentlemen-Is it possible to make general
mileage ticket good on all the roads Of the
United states9 The following plan conmends
itself to the commercial traveller: That the
roads Of the United States support general
Office, or clearinghouse, from which tickets may
be purchased, say, 5000 miles for 800, or $500
for $50, same to be general coupon tickets, to be
removed by conductor and sent to auditor, the
auditor to send same to clearing house and get
credit for the number Of miles represented Set.
Hement with the clearing house could be made
weekly or semi monthly. This is perhaps sufi-
Gent explanation for you to understand the
general plan. This would mean no more
KNOCK down fares and less grasping after
passes" Whils the price is the same as ship
pers tickets, the advantages to travellers are too
numerous to mention Please discuss this
question and let as know in the report Of your
proceedings the practicability Of the plan.
