The American Girl.

Robert Grant in Cutting.
The American girl is neither mer-
cenary nor material. Her knowledge
of human nature does not ordinarily
deter her from ideality. Nor is the
futur" she enshrines in her imagina-
ton any the less inspiring because his
physical properties are hazy. Like
girls all the world over she enshr.nes
this form of ideal, but she is SO absorb
ed in her earnestness to real re a per-
feet soul that, unlike her Gallo kins-
woman, she rarely dreams of mustache
or a definite pair of legs.
Her fearlessness and self-reliance are
also traits that command attention.
Accustomed to being served and waited
upon by men with more con, id ration
than in any other society, she is yet less
dependent upou surveillance. She has
a wonderful faculty of ~forecasting cir
cumstances and understand nghow far

JOEL CHANDLER HARRIS says that
the exhibitions Of minstrelsy on the
stage are an illusion. They represent
nothing on the earth except an abnor-
NAL development of an extraordinary
burlesque. Perhaps the very breadth
and stature of this" he adds, ssover-
shadowing and putting to shame all
other b%urlesques, gives it strength and
vitality, for it is enjoyed with as keen
a relish in the south, where the negro
is supposed to be known, as it is in
any part of the north, where all that is
known of the southern negro is that
he was a slave, and that he has what
may be termed a humorous turn

GEN. PARSONS, aged n, while TROLL
ing for pickerel in Chautauqua lake
the other day, says The Utica Herald,
caught one four feet long and weigh
ing thirty pounds. He subsequently
hooked another very large one, which
be lost. Then he went home. The
disappointment he felt over losing the
last fish was SO keen that it was with
difficulty that he could be induced to
go to bed that night without going to
the lake again and trying to capture
the lost fish. He finally retired, but
at midnight arose. There is no use
talking" he SAID, 81 can't sleep until
Iget that pickerel.'' His determine
ton was so strong that his family
could not restrain him. He went back
to the lake, rugged up his tackle, and
began trolling in the dark. A half
hour afterward he returned home
with a twenty pound pickerel. There
was no way to tell whether the twenty
FOUNDER was the one the general lost
or not, but he firmly believed that it
was, and went to bed and slept like a.
top all the rest of the night.

the strings tighter around his purse

he thinks his opportunity has come if
the prevailing opinion among the peo-

1t does not only effect the money len

he will be certain to carry part of
that money back home and make his
wife believe that famine is approach

It's a false alarm and ought to be

WINDMILLS,

OVER five thousand windmills are
manufactured and sold in this coun-
try every year. Considering the an
tiquity of the invention this is a
pretty good evidence of its populari-
ty. For certain specific purposes,
where the work is of a nature that
admits of suspension during calm,
or where accumulated power can be
stored for future use, the windmill is
the most economical motor that can
be devised. Windmills used for
pumping purposes may be relied
upon to run on an average eight
hours out of the twenty-four. The
records of the signal service show
that two days is the outside limit Of
the duration of a calm. The only
cost incident to the operation of these
mills is the oil, and few gallons q
year is all that is required. The
wind of course is the free gift of ma
ture. There is no attendance re

gallons daily, the specified distance

water to manufacturing establish

There are a few legal safe. guards, where
there ought TO be more, surrounding the GER
emony of marriage. A marriage license is
sometimes required but lack Of it does not
vtiate the marriage. The penalty Of viola
tion usually falls on the clergyman. The pub.
lie have the right to require that they shall be
furnished with certain evidences az to every
marriage. The law sometimes requires pub
LEGATION Of banps or OF intention. 1t also
sometimes requires that the clergyman shall
keep q record Of marriages himself or deliver
it for filing in q designated public office
Whatever the requirements Of the law may be
they should be carefully observed. 1t is also
wise for every clergyman TO provide himself
with record evidence Of every marriage he
solemnizes, even IL the law does not require
It. 1t is often important for the vindieation
Of the rights Of parties concerned, aud often
TO the vlndication OF the minister himself
The English Law requires that the parties sub
scribe their names TO the record OF the oficia.
ting minister. As matter Of prudence this
should always be done, even though not legal
ly required. As TO the marriages which may
be celebrated The parties must be Of sufh.
cient age, fourteen for the male, twelve for
the female, by the common Law. They must
be sane they must be unmarried, aud not re-
lated within the prohibited degrees. There
must be no compulsion nor fraud A repre-
sentation that q marriage ceremony WAS mere
ly formal engagement was held q fraud In
Vermont In some states consent Of parents
is required when parties are under a certain
age. But when the parties are over the re-
quired age, or where no such Law prevails, the
minister should proceed with caution in a GER
tain class of cases. There is no obligation OF
Law compelling you to perform the ceremony.
In every case of q proposed marriage that
bears the appearance Of being secret, or With
undue haste, the clergyman should beware.
A secret marriage can rarely be justified.
There Is a distinction between a secret and q
private marriage. Care should be taken with
hssty marriages and marriages at unseasonR.
bic hours. Such marriages by the English
law are guarded against Every marriage
there must be solemnized in a church except
by special permission. Bsnus must be pub
lished The ceremony must be before twelve
o'clock, noon. A proposed private marriage
may be attended with obvious disparity of
age or condition between the parties. Cir
cumstanoes may indicate that something is
wrong. Thousands of marriages b ave been
celebrated when q word to a foolish or mis-
guided girl by the minister would have saved
her from ruin. A clergyman is lacking in the
very highest duty in regard to that sacred GER
emony who does not inform himself, so far As
he can regarding the circumstances of pro-
posed private marriage. Want Of consent of
parents in the case OF young girl should al
ways occasion inquiry. ID lay aud wise coun-
sci may prove most salutaTy.
