Their Strange and Peculiar COurtShiP
and Marriage.


Their Strange and Peculiar Courtship
and Marriage.
81. Louis Republican,.
Romance is rare in Abssyinis. When 3
eirl has reached the discreet age OF 8 or ,
She is considered 10 be in the matrimonial
market. If she owns few cattle or some
other desirable property, boy with halt
wealth generally proposes to her father Tor
her, and bargain is driven over her quite
az If she had no more sentiment than q
COW, which is doubtless often the case. The
engagement lasts usually three or four
months. Though the groom often sees
his prospective fsther-in-lsw, he never lays
ewes upon the bride unless he can bride
some female friend 70 allow him 3
srolen glance. The bride-to-be may pre-
yiously have romped with her intended for
Years, bat she would run screaming away
il he were now TO appear before her. In
some parts OF the country the superstition
Is rife that any woman leaving her father .
house between the times Of betrothsl and
marriage will be bitten BY a snake. As
the wedding day draws near the girl Is
vashed-sn event so rare as to call for
special note in q pond, where certain
saints day Is celebrated for being the epoch
of the sole annual sblutiou OF most OF the
inhabitants, and pass or bower Of green
branches over 6 frame of stakes is erected.
In this q great feast is given on the day
before the marriage. All the hungry Id
lers round about to strive By hook or BY
crook to get in, and, squstting down on
the ground, they gorge themselves with
the ouiyeriDg raw meat OF the COW that
has lust been killed and with 9th
ar Abyssinian dehcacies. The dis
tirguished guests bless the bride, putting
their hands upon her head and getting
them we'll creased for their pains. Mean
while q similar feast is given in the
groom's abode, and next morning he starts
out with his friends and from six to twelve
srkeey, or bridesmen. They rig themselves
up in al the plumsge they can possibly
borrow, and, on approaching the bride
house, Ere of their guns and have q sort
of sham fight with view, perhaps, to a.
Law the groom nervousness. When the
happy man has taken the seat Of honor IN
the bridal bower his bride is brought IN,
wrapped up in 8 cloth almost like q
mummy and placed upon q stool. Then
/ the groom is asked whether he wishes
10 marry the woman before him;
they crook their fingers together
under the cloth, or, perhaps, kiss one an
other, and, after any priest or elder present
has given some sage advice, the marriage
settlement Of what each is to bring is fin
ally settled upon, the lsst but not the least
important part of the ceremony. Such are
the civil marriages, lightly entered into
and az lightly broken. On the shortest
notice and for the slightest cause couple
will separate, the property being usually
divided, the man taking the boys, the
woman the girls. Church marriages are
more rare, and are regarded as indisso
luble Once husband and wife have par
taken Of the holy sacrament together they
are united until death.

The New York Star gives the following
interesting opinion upon the beer industry
of the country: There can BE- little doubt
that We owe to the Germans the change
from what was once the national beverage
Of America, whisky, to our present Popular
drink. Strangely enough, Pennsylvania,
which has been the stage Of the great
whisky instruction, furnished in her
"Dutch" settlers the earliest examples Of
the moral advantage Of using beer. Dr.
BENJAMIN RUSH was q great advocate Of
the brewing industry as cure for drunk,
enuess. As an argument he urged the
condition of the Germans, few of whom"
he said, lever use distilled spirits in their
families, their common drinks being beer,
wine and cider" The effect Of beer, and
of discriminating taxes in favor Of beer, in
decreasing the amount Of liquor drunk hss
been often questioned. But the figures on
this question are so eloquent that it is
hard 10 believe the doubt is honest. Early
