Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1885-08-15

During the marching an incident oc-
CURED which indicated that the occasion
was the last link needed 10 complete long
chain which has for twenty years been
welding into mutual forgiveness the hearts
of old-time lovers, North and South
While the bands joined in playing Dixie"
the Grand Army OF the Republic evoluted
into line with military salute as the party
OF ex-Contederate soldiers marched by
with heads uncovered. There was sort Of
pathetic "Sh-h-h' ran through the crowd
of spectators, as though every body realized
from witnessing this token of honest re-
gard that the Union had never been fully
consummated until that minute. As the
last Southron passed the blue line, the
bands changed to Star Spangled Banner
which could scarcely be heard for cheers
from men and women alike.
PRINTERS INK ABROAD.
There is in my possession an eight-paee
paper OF late edition, published in an inte-
nor county of England. Some of its ideas
are so differently expressed from the same
topics in America 80 to be amusing in con.
struction and edifying in information. The
fact Is made patent that its readers are lib
eral advertisers, describing infinitely points
that we leave for verbal explanation. A
miller says: " Wanted-A married man,
well used TO steam and noise, to work on
grlst.' Rather insinuating against domes-
tic quiet, that. Nearly every call for male
help specifies whether married or single
assistance is wanted. Another ad." reads:
" Married man wanted 10 break fractions
horse" Evidently the tanning of shrew
stands an Euglishman in hand by way of
apprenticeship. A grocer asks for an Tin
proven who has served part of his time
,.rff, I
sunshly be called an apprentice. There
are calls for boots under, -" second boots"
and third boots" not meaning boot
blacks, rs we would suppose, but boot
makers. One "ad." reads Wanted
Light body-maker" That must be TO work
among anti-fat people. 1t is frequently
specified that the applicant "must be to-
tai obstainer." A woman servant, but
never a man, is spoken of as q person"
and nurSe-maids are called a mothers
help" Americans would mean by do
mesticated animal one that had been
tanned from a wild state. This paper calls
for :" a domesticated bar maid, who must
send photograph a stamped envelope for
answer, and be 8 church woman" if she
would get employment at the Ram Hotel
House maids are offered for years SER

is manned, but can do all

self as young, tall, cheerful, good semps-

tised, some of them under patronage of
gentry" 1t is stated that in
the village of Stamford a call was issued
for forming a Conservative Society" on
which occasion 500 laborers turned up"

Three instances are cited where women
earning money protest against its confisca-
ton by their drunkard husbands. These
women, knowing by actual experience
what legal protection they are in need of
have no power TO supply themselves
with that protection, but the same paper
contains an item which is a cutting COM
ment upon the intellectual status of the
English politicians. Mr.. Withers displayed
to the House of Commons "a self-acting
assister to illiterate voters The voter is
given metal plate instead of ticket that
he cannot read. He enters chamber in
which are as many doors as candidates,
each door painted correspondingly to q Sc
81 In Nv tha
candidate to whom it belongs. Having
chosen the color wanted, the illiterate voter
slips inside railing, which closes around
with a spring and prevents him from
reaching any other door. When his plate
is pushed through a slct it registers itself
on a recording instrument, thereby pre-
venting repetitions. The method will mark
I 200 votes in a day of twelve hours. No
explanation is given of the motive power
of the instrument which is recommended
to furnish British brains.
THEY TAKE THE CAKE.
What ara in this country called picnics,
rural English term treats" A description
is given Of The Band of Hope Annual
Treat" Four hundred children marched
through the streets, singing and carrying
banners. They were invited to the garden
of Watkins William Wynn, gentleman,
where they passed the day in athletic
sports and games. Invited guests were
served with tea and toast in q tent at 5
o'clock, and as the children departed for
their homes they were each presented with
a bun.
Healthy repast after a days wrestling
matches. Imagine, my fellow -countrymen,
what music would perambulate the air if
400 Yankee youngsters were turned of
with one lone, lorn bun to bite after days
