We really care scarcely anything for
distinction of birth. Tho worship of
1orelgn aristocracy prostrates few of
us. Noblemen tourists command at

ton of New York. The hotels arc full

The Confederate Capital.

Contrary to the common belief, there
was no lack of provisions or dclicacies
In Richmond at any time during the
war, but the prices measured by al
legged dollars were simply stupendous.
/ do not remember that there was any
actual suffering among the people, al
though food and drink wore of course
economically dealt with. 1 rocollect
also that there was n bread riot of SO
large proportions as to call for the in.
terVention of the military, InN tho wo-
mon, black and white, who wcre the
chief participants, were of the lowest
class, and were instigated not by want
80 much as pure deviltry.
1t is a curious fact that what arc call
ed the lower classes Jared better, as far
as provisions were concerned, than the
otficeholders or wealthier citizens. The
salaries of the office holders, both con-
federatc and state, were grossly made
quate to provide for their families. and
the wealthier citizens at tho outset of
the war had invested, almost without
exception, all their available means in
the 8 per cent bonds of the confederate
government. Those who owned slaves,
by hiring them out obtained largo re-
turns, for labor was in great demand;
but the trouble was that the confoder-
ate authorities conscripted all able
bodied negroes as drivers of mulo
teams, laborers on tho Notifications,
etc., just as they conscripted able-bod-
led whites for service in the field, and
the hire given to the masters was but a
1.-THE of what could have been procured
in open market.
Talk about Washington being q city
of boarding-houscs and restaurants,
why it was not circumstance to the
confederate capital. Nearly every
house, and especially of limited means,
was filled with lod gers, and nearly
every other house was an eating-house.
Tho poorer whites and blacks made
money hand over fist by cooking pro-
visions and selling them from stands
on the streets and at the depots to the
huge swarms of hungry people who
were constantly coming and going.
The population proper of Richmond
was not fourth of the vast crowd
that daily and nightly congre-
gated within its corporate limits. 1t
was the Mecca of the confederacy, and
the pilgrimages mado thereto wero
constant in their coming. Officers and
soldiers, Jewish merchants. tex
empts, blocEade-runners, refugees
from Maryland and West Virginia and
from counties of the State held by the
federals poured in a otcady stream into
the lap of the city, and the people of
the city made their living, and, indeed,
it may be said in many Instances wax
cd fat, in feeding and lodging the hun
cry horde.
The homo guards, organized to de-
tend the capital, comprised all the
officials in the confederate and state
departments, and no man was exempt
who was able to fire q rife from be.

drills, GG. marched in body, with
regular order, to the breastworks when

An American Marriaec.

Among the various tribes of Asia

Armcnians, says The Glasgow Hcrald.
10 them belongs chiefly tho mcrchan-
disc of precious stones. which they cx-
port to Constantinoplc. The Armenian
girl whose marriage is to be described
had delicate flowers of celestial blue
painted all over hcr neck and breast;
her eyebrows were dyed black, and the
tips OF her fingers and nails of u bright
orange. Shc wore on each hand valu-
able rings set with precious stones.
and round her neck string of very
fine turquoses; her skirt was ono of
the finest spun silk, her jnckct and
trousers of cashmere of bright color.
The priest and his deacon arrived, the
latter bringing a bag containing tho
sacordotal garments, in which the
priest arrayed himself, placing 4 mitcr
ornamentcd with precious stones on
his head, and collar of metal, on
which the twelve apostles wore repre-
scnted in bas-relief, round his neck.
Ho began by blessing a sort of tenn
porary altar III the middle OF the room;
the mother of the bride took her by tho
hand, and, leading her forward, she
bowed at the feet of her future hus-
band to show that she acknowledged
him as lord and master. The priest,
placing their hands in each other, pro-
nounced prayer and then drew their
heads together until they touched three
times, whilo with his right hand he
made motion as if blessing them. A
second timo their hands were Joined,
and tho bridegrOomwas asked: "Will

answered, raising at tho same time the
veil of tho bride, in token that sho was
now his, and letting it fall again. Tho
priest then took two wroaths of flow
ers. ornamented with a quantity of

OF the deacon, put them on tho heads

The Unlucky OPAL.

"The prejudice against opals may
be dying ont, but great many people
still hold to tho belief that they bring
bad luck" said jewcler the other
day. II could tell you of little Incl
dent that occurred here that may make
you wonder whether some people do
not manage to get themselves born
three centuries too late. a man came
here with ring that had beautiful
opal set III it. and told mo to tako out
tho stone and let him see some other
gem to put in its place. / asked him
if he was going to get rid of tho opal
altogether, and he said he was going
to destroy it. was rather surprised,
and said:
"Don't do that; I'll give you $50
for it.
"Ho declared that ho didn't want
money for it; that it had broceht him
nothing but bad luck since he bought
it; that ho had failed in business and
lost two of his children, and all, OF
course, on account of little piocc of
stone. L went over to that bench and
took the opal out of its setting, and
while looking at tho ring / laid tho
gom on the bench beside me. AS quick
as fash that man picked up ham
NOR that was lying among the tools
and hit tho stono whack that smash

was nothing left. Thon he said
'Therer in a satisfied manner. It's
too bad, for the opal is ono of tho pret-
test gems in the world. "-NetO York

In 1874 Clarence A. Portlcy, who
had latoly graduated from West Point,
married Miss Maggie Alexander,
daughter of DR.. Alexander, n New
York millionaire. When the wedding
ceremony WAS over he handed his SON
in-law an envelope containing $780, 600
In government bonds. "Thank you"
replied tho gratiiicd son-in-law; and
then ho asked, "But as We arc going
away would it not be better that you
should keep tho money till wo return P"
"pll do so," answered tho delighted
father" in law, and his half-choked
words, God bless you, my childrcnr
were lost among the clatter of the de-
parting carriage and the valedictory
shouts. Not long ago Mr.. Alexander
died without n will, and no mention
was mado of tho 300, 600, though his
property was left to his daughter. A

Leg Before Wicket,

Very young ladies, who enjoyed tho
doubtful privilege of having schooIboy
brothers, were sometimes permitted or
compelled to join in their games of
cricket. So long as they reveled in
the short skirts of infancy tho expert
ment was fairly successful, but tho
crinoline of maturer years interposed
an impenetrable screen between the
ball and tho wickets, to the exaspera-
tion and despair of the bowler CAL
lantry no less than decorum forbade
the perpetual verdict of "leg before"
which, in strict justice, should often
nave cut short the fair cricketer's in
nlng. This seriously interfered with
Inc success of feminine cricket, and

Ity OF boyhood--with harmonious re-
!aAons between the players. With

Complaint has been made by the jobbers
of st. Paul that their travelling men are
greatly Inconvenience by not being per-
mitted to ride on freight trains on the
Northern Pacific road claiming there is not
sufficient number of trains run to permit
their men to visit more than one place a
day. Officials say it is not so, as the fol-
lowing number of trains are run: Between
St. Paul and Brainerd, three passenger and
one freight each way; between Brainerd and
Detroit. three passenger and two freight
trains westbound and three passenger and
one freight eastbound; from Detroit to
Fargo, three passenger and one freight train
each way; on the Little Falls and Dakota
branch one passenger and one freight train
each way; on the Fergus Falls branch, one
passenger and one freight each way; be-
tween Fargo and jamestown. westbound
two passengers and two freights and three
passenger and one freight eastbound. Be-
tween jamestown and Mandan, one freight
and one passenger train daily. This num-
Der, the Northern Pacific believes, should be
satisfactory.

Cooking school.

The St. Paul cooking school opened yes
terday afternoon at 221 East Eighth street,
with a free lecture and lesson on bread
making by Mrs. S. G. Nichols, of the school
of domestic economy of Iowa agricultural
college. Mrs. Nichols won the hearts of
the ladies present by practical methods OF
demonstrating the lesson, and also by her
pleasant manner of presenting the theory
of the work After speaking of the i'm
portance of having all food properly pre-
pared, she spoke especially of bread, which
she said was the most important factor of
our food. and to gain the most nutriment
and make it palatable it must be light,
sweet and we'll baked. The lecture through
out was full of valuable hints on the sub
ject and method of bread making made
not only an easy but pleasant task.
The lesson this afternoon at 2 o'clock will
be on soups. Each lady is requested to
bring napkin and spoon. The wives and
daughters of laboring men, unable to pay
the regular tuition, will receive instruction
in plain cooking free of charge.

Rarbed Wire Decision.

Dies MONIES, Nov. 24.-Judge Brewer
of the United States circuit court has rem
dered an important decision in the case OF
Washburn & Moen VS.. The Grinnell Barbed
Wire Company. A decision was made last
spring sustaining the validity of the Gliddey
patent and the right of plaintiff to control
it. 1t was decided at that time that the
master in chancery should determine the
amount of damages to be paid. He fixed
the sum at S4l,S $50. The defendants ex-
cepted and argued the case at the last term
of the federal court in this city. Judge
Brewer in his decision now reduces the
amount from SAL, $50 to about S24, 900,
stating in his opinion that while that amount
for damages was probably too low, he would
fix the royalty which the company should
pay hereafter at figure which should be
large enough to compensate.
