ASSISTING RAILRoADs.--The Ball
timore Sun has very conclusive edi-
torial article against Municipal aid To
Railroads. Money thus given is gen.
orally swallowed up By the company
receiving such aid, and the taxpayers
are compelled to foot the bill. In q
former issue Of the CAPITAL, it was
argued that Baltimore ought to take
deeper interest in developing our
State by means Of local railroads.
It was farthest from our thoughts to
have the whole property holders Of
Baltimore taxed for these improve
ments. Our appeal Gf we may so
call IT'D was to individuals engaged in
trade-to merchants, manufacturers,
bankers and private capitalists. They
are the ones that would be most bene-
ftted-not the laboring man and ma
chanic, or the small property holder.
Two hundred thousand dollars
would assure the building Of direct
railroad from Baltimore to Salisbury,
which would secure the whole trade
Of the eastern shore to Baltimore. A
similar amount Of cash paid for stocks
10 Southern railroad, would ensure
the building Of road from Baltimore
to some point on the Potomac river,
and open up vast country, rich ia
agricultural and horticultural capabil-
tiles.
These amounts placed at the dis
posal Of well organized companies nn.
der our State laws, would enable the
companies to PIT their enterprise in
such condition as would justify foreign
capitalists in investing in the bonds
of either enterprise.
The amount of trade and traffic
these roads would pour into Baltimore
Is almost incalculable; aud though
they never paid stock dividend, the
Investors would be well paid FIR their
outlay In increased business.

QmeeR wedding Customs IN Norway.
IN Norway the marriage festivities ex-
tend over several days. Early in the af-
ternoon Of the day which precedes the
wedding the guests appear, and are vel
coined in the courtyard bv bride and
bridegroom. with an offering Of beer and
spirits. When all are assembled they
are invited By the schOOlmaster, who acts
as master Of ceremonies, to partake OF
the meal prepared. They sit down at 3
shining table, over which no cloth is
spread, and, after grace has been said
and psalm sung to the accompaniment
Of two violins, do justice to the simple
repast. Flat cakes serve as platters,s and
every body cuts the viands with his or
her own knife, using the fingers OF the
left hand Is q fork. The greater part Of
the night is spent in reveIing and dane
ing. The next morning at the bride.
and bridegroom appear fully dressed in
their wedding finery and ready 70 pro-
coed TO church. The most conspicuous
ornaments OF the bride are the wedding
crown and q number Of necklaces. both
made Of silver or silver gilt, and some
times Of exquisite ancient workmanship.
In some parts OF Norway, especially in
the province of Hardanger, the bride
wears purple robe, richly braided and
embroidered with gold. The wedding
party then proceeds to church. either bv
water Ia boats or by land on horseback.
The first boat contains bride and bride
groom, two bridemaids, the two best men
and the fiddlers; the second boat is
rowed by six boys and the third By six
girls. II the journey Is made on horse
back the musicians open the procession;
then follow the bridegroom surrounded
by his friends and male relations; the
bride, escorted by her bridesmaids, and
ultimately the rest of the invited guests.
The cavalcade never stops on its way to
church, but the return journey takes q
long time. From every homestead on
the way shots are fired to announce the
approach of the newly welded pair. who
have then to diemount, acknowledge the
greeting and partake of the customary
offering Of beer or liquor.
At last the home is reached, and the
company Immediately sits down to the
wedding dinner, at which bride and
bridegroom preside. When the meal is
over the sscradle tax" IS collected. The
bridcgroom's father commences by.plac-
ing in tin dish, which stands il front Of
the bride, q bank note and two silver
spoons. friends. relations and guests fol-
lowing his example with lesser gifts. Ia
this way more than one hundred thaIers
are sometimes collected. The rest Of tho
wedding day Is spent in drinking and
dancing, and ultimately the pair are es-
corted to their chamber by the guests
with lighted candles. On the third day
the wedding gifts are presented. Each
giver announces il loud voice In what
his Offering consists and shakes hands
with the bride and bridegroom. The
revelries and rejoicings at the home
stead Of the welded pair are then con-
einued until the next following Sunday,
when the festivities are brought to
definite end.

THE GREAT EVENT CLOSE AT. HAND.
The American Exposition is to open on
the 10th of November, and New Orleans is
preparing to celebrate the occasion in inn
posing style. Governor McEnery and Mayor
Guillotte have issued proclamations favor
ing general observance of the opening
day as public holiday and calling upon
the people to contribute their best efforts
to the success of the great enterprise.
An elaborate programme of exercises has
been prepared and it is anticipated that the
demonstration attending the event will be
one of the grandast in the history of the
Crescent City.
AS the time for the Inauguration OF the
Exposition approaches the rush of incoming
exhibits hourly increases and the grounds
are said to present a scene of almost inde-
scribable activity. The task of getting the
myriad of exhibits into proper position is
being prosecuted with great energy, and
while it is not to be expected that the man
agement Will have their great houses in ap-

that the work will be in state quite as for
