Great Chance for Parties Desiring to Buy

After paying the express charges,
which were larger than the machine

BRIDAL OMENS.

Some of the Signs SuperstItious Brides
Consider Lucky and Others UnIucky.
The Romans were very superstitious
about marrying in May and February.
The l4th has always been considered in
England peculiarly unlucky for brides.
Why, tradition saith not. In the DIRK
ney Isles the bride selects an evening
for her wedding when there is full
moon and flowing tide. In Scotland
the last day of the year is considered
lucky; the brides prospects in life are
supposed to be brilliant
Sunday is a great favorite with brides
in some parts of England and Ireland.
The French demoiselle, however, thinks
the first Friday in the month particu-
larry fortunate for her nuptials.
In Sweden the bride on her way back
from church has pieces of bread in her
pockets. These she throws away on her
road to her home to insure her good
luck. II is ill-fortune to the one who
picks up these crumbs. If the bride lose
her slipper on her way from church, she
will lose all her troubles and the one
who picks it up will gain riches
In every country it is an unhappy
omen for the wedding to be put off wher
once the day has been fixed, and in Eng.
land it is believed great misfortune will
ensue if a bridegroom stand, if only fol-
moment, at the junction of cross.
roads, on his wedding morn. In Eng
land, also, it is thoug ht sign of bad
luck if the bride fails to shed tears ON
her wedding day, or if she turns back
to take last look at herself in her we'd
ding toilet.
Among the English lasses it is bad
luck for bride to look back or 90 back
when once she has started for the church,
or to marry dressed in green, or to let
the ceremony 90 on while there is an
open grave in the churchyard. When
the bridesmaids undress the bride they
must be sure to throw away all the pins
to make sure of good luck to themselves
IS well as for her. If single pin be
left into the brides raiment, woe unto
her And if bridesmaid should keep
one of them she will not be married be-
fore Whitsuntide or the Easter follow
ing. Therefore, bridesmaids in Eng
land are not given to preserving the
pins from the bridal costumes.
If the bridal party venture of
the land they must go up stream, and
the bride, to make certain of good luck,
must on the happy day wear "some.
thing old and something new, some
thing gold and something blue" If she
sees strange cat that day she will take
it as an omen that she is to be very
happy; and if on the morning of her
wedding day she steps from her bed on
something higher still, she will rise in
the world from the time of her mar
riage. To make sure of this, the maiden
has chair and a table at her bedside,
and steps from one to the other on rising
from her slumbers on her wedding
morn. On leaving her home. and on
starting from the church to return, she
is very careful to address her husband
after they are wed without first calling
him by his full name. The break of the
wedding ring is sign that the wearer
will soon be widow Chicago Inter.

An Idaho Mass Meeting.

The following special appeared in the
Netcs of Last evening". $50 ~
PARIS, Idaho. July 81, 1885.
A monster mass meeting was held
here yesterday, which was called by the
Democratic Central Committee. for the
purpose of demonstrating against the
unjust and oppressive test oath that
clogs the wheels of justice and deprives
us of all rights as American citizens.
Although there Is only one out of every
thirty that is supposed to he polv-
gamist. this test oath DISTINGUISHES the
other twenty-nine who have broken no
law consequently from fifteen to
twenty thou aud people in the southern
counties of Idaho have been disfran-
chised with the evident purpose of
giving the Territory to the Republican
party at the next election. The speakers
were eloquent and patriotic in their re-
marks, and the meeting was a grand
success. A statement of grievances and
petition were gotten up to be sent to
President Cleveland, RUSTIC.
