The Chances of Fewer Marriages.

Girls are no more angels than
men are apes, and there are other
vices besides impurity, envy, malice,
uncharitableness, untruthfulness, i'll

our side? Post nuptial backslidings
are worse than ante nuptial divaga.
tions, and if the balance is to be
struck after marriag it not so easy
to say on which side it would be.
There is one lesson which we, all of
us, in whatever rank or society we
may be, have to learn, and the
sooner we learn it the better-the
lesson of humility, of modesty, of
economy. We are no longer the
lords of creation; we have no longer
a monopoly of capital and pro-
duction; rents and interests will fall
lower still. and unless we realize the
situation, come down from our high
horse, and moderate our views of
style and expenditure, very serious
trouble will overtake society. We
had better give up sneering at those
dirty foreigners. and initiate a
little of their frugality. But the
example must be set by those above;
SO long as the leaders of the great
world indulge in display those be-
low will spend their last shilling in
an insane attempt to keep in the
running. Diamonds, lace, costly
fabrics, whether for dress or funiture,
long and lavish dinner parties, heavy
suppers after balls, all these things
might be made questionable by a
wave of Zenobia's wand. Unless
some change of this kind is made
in our habits, or unless some hap
py revolution occurs in our econo-
mic history. there will be fewer
marriages than ever in Vanity Fair.

ADEADHEAD BLACK LIST.

Railroad Passengers who Have Abused
the Privilege of Riding Upon Passes.
Here" said the passenger agent of
one Of the Western railroads to a reporter,
sis "a list of the persons who have defraud-
ed or beaten the railroads of the West"
AS he spoke ne showed a thin pamphlet,
with large pages, bearing the title "Black
List0 on the cover. "This book" cOntin-
ued the agent, sis published by the asso-
citation OF passenger agents three or four
times year. When a mans name is once
entered it is never taken of. unless it is
shown that he was wrOngfully charged.
Ii your name, for instance, were on the
list, you could never obtain pass upon
any road. When a pass IS applied for in
person some little time elapses before the
blanks are filed up. The reason is that
the agent has TO look over this book. The
c0mmOnest Oifense IS selling a pass.
Many passes are sold, of course, that are
not heard from, and some roads demand
a photograph or a signature for identified
ton. We never condOne this Otfense.
There are the names of some well-knOwn
men upon this list for that Otfense.
"HeTe is the name of a well-dressed rev.
erend gentleman who applied for pass
az the editor OF the Episcopal Recorder Of
Chicago. 1t never occurred to the pas
senger agent to doubt him, but after the
pass was used il was discovered that no
such periodical existed. This game is
frequently tried. Sometimes passes are
given tor charity. Here is the record of
one Ofthem: al. &. H.-COnfrmed beat
and confidence man of the worst kind.

lchIoo Chronicle


During the present week there has been
a large band of Indians along Butte
creek gathering a grasshopper harvest
The men and children have succeeded in
capturing large quantities Of the pests.
and yesterday they brought to town twelve
large bags Of them. They drove them
into pits with branches from trees. and
the catch was easily made. The Indians
have a way Of taking the legs and wings
from the hoppers by pressing upon bags
containing them. leaving only the bodies.
The harvest is turned over to the squaws,
who convert it into -four and then into
bread The hoppers are ground into a
fine powder in stone mortars, after the
fashion Of grinding their maize
Old-timers who have eaten grasshopuer
bread say that it has a pleasant taste, not
unlike that made from wheat flour. and
that it is just as nourishing. The In
dams prize it more highly than wheat
bread. The process of drying the hopper
is an interesting sight The insects are
spread upon canvas stretched upon the
ground in a sunny spot, and are turned
and returned with the same care that a
perfect cook would hot cakes to keep
them from searching The insects I'M
