A Marriage Fair.

Donohue's Magazine.
We have had baby showsand barmaid
shows, but what shall we say to an annu-
al fair for manageable young girls? Such
q show is of immemorial custom among
the Roumanians. AS the time for the
fair approaches, the father whose children
are manageable, collect what they can
afford as dowry. Whatever this con-
sists of, it is packed, if possible, into a
cart or carriage, and on the appointed
day they all-fathers, children. and
chattels- for some trysting place,
generally chosen among the western
mountains of Pennsylvania. When the
fair is opened, the fathers climb to the
top of their carriages and shout with the
whole power of their lungs, II have a
daughter to marry. Who wants a wifeP'
The call is answered by some other
parent who have son he is anxious to
pair off. The tso parents compare notes,
and, if the marriage portion is satisfac-
tory, the treaty is then and there con-
Guided. The young man takes posses.
sion of his wife and all her goods and
chatt]es, and drives off merrily. If on
the other hand, the match is not equal
or for some other season unsatisfactory
then the parents begin to cry their live
merchandise once more.

The Working Glasses in Europe.
BY Horace P. Porter.

By Horace P. Porter.
One may we'll stand appalled, before
the labor problem as we find it in Eu-
rope. Levi, Gifen, and others, estimate
that the average annual earnings of the
industrial classes of England is about
5000. I often doubt if it exceeds this
amount when I see the poverty in which
they live in the large cities. When one
sees the squalor of such cities as Liver
pool, Sheffield, Leeds. Glasgow and some
parts of Birmingham, to say nothing of
London, the crowded houses, the cellars,
reeking with filth, yet we are told by one
of England's greatest statesmen that this
was the result of England's prosperity,
the increase in the value of land. Thou
sands of families have only single room
to dwell in, where they sleep, eat, multi
ply and die. For this miserable lodging
they pay price ranging from 80 cents to
$l.25 per week, one-quarter and some
times one-third of their earnings. A tale
told the other day by the chairman of
the London School Board illustrates the
terrible character of this struggle for
house room. Three schools were taken,
and the condition of the children ascer-
tanned. They came from 1,129 families.
Of these, 661 families had only one room
to live in. In the majority of these ca
ses the families living in one room con-
tanned five or more persons, in some, as
many as nine.

IN SEARCH OF A SON.
A story That Covers Many Years, With thu
Final Chapter Yet to Come.

A story That Covers Many Years, With the
Final Chapter Yet to Come.
TheHartford Times recently contained
the following story:
Thirty-one years ago Edward Deegan,
aged Is, son of Patrick Deegan, of Bristol,
disappeared while in the employ of q
book concern of Boston, and all inquiries
by the company and the father brought
no tidings from the boy. Eight years
later, while Mr.. Deegan was hoeing back
of rolling mill, young man came into
the field, and after talking with him
some time, inquiring where he came
from to settle in that part of the country,
the supposed stranger said: Father
don't you Know me? ?" The lad being
large for his age, had been in the regular
army, where he enlisted at the time of
his disappearance eight years before.
He had saved from his earnings $500
which he wished his father to accept,
but he declined. After remaining at
home short time, the son again disap-
peared, % years ago last September and
from that time no trace of him have
been obtained and no word received un-
til last week, and the father now "A years

his son again and had considered him
dead.
A letter dated Philadelphia, March 10,
and received by the Rev. M. B. Roddan,
read as follows: II wish to inquire if
there is a Catholic graveyard in Bristol
and, if so, whether Patrick Deegan, his
wife and son are buried there? l am
their son and if they are dead, as I have
long supposed them to be, and if there
are no gravestoHes over their graves, I
would like to place one over each, such
as my means will permit" Mr.. Roddan
at once visited the home of Mr.. Deegan
with the glad news and the old man was
nearly overcome with joy. A letter was
at once sent to the son in Philadelphia,
informing him of the death Of his moth
er some thirteen years ago and that his
father and his brother, cripple still
survive and are anxiously waiting to well
come him home. No reply has yet been
received and the aged father eagerly
listens to the sound Of every carriage and
watches every stranger to see if he is
not his son.

Enpland's steam tonnage is almost ten
times as great as that of her nearest rival,
France. It is ten times our steam ton
mage and forty times Russia's. The Brit
ish flag covers nearly two-thirds of all
the OCEAN steamers float.
The New York Sun in commenting on
the above adds:
In 1860. the year before our civil war,
exactly two-thirds of the foreign trade
of the United States was carried on in
American vessels. Last year fve-sixths
of our foreign trade was carried on in
foreign vessels. According to the pro.
portion of tonnage dues collected at our
ports of ships of different nationalities,
British vessels carried about half of our
foreign freights, and American vessels
one-sixth, while the remaining third
was divided between Norway, Germany
Italy, Spain, and France, in the order
named, without taking account of the
smaller maritime nations.
Nearly three-quarters of England's
carrying trade on the ocean is done in
English ships. She has trebled the
tonnage of her merchant feet since
1850. She has done this largely at
the expense of American shipping.
These are the broad facts about the
enormous advantage which Great Brit
ain las gained over the United States
in a rivalry wherein two nations once
contended on almost equal terms. What
ever other causes maritime philoso-
pliers may assign for the decrease
of American shipping during the
twenty years that have witnessed such
amazing progress in the development of
our other industries, the fact remains
that the troubles of American ship build
ers and shipowners date from the period
of the civil war. Our misfortune was
England's opportunity. Will the situa.
ton be reversed in case of protracted
hostilities between England and Russia?
How much will British commerce
suffer and American commerce gain if
Russian cruisers carry the war where
ever British merchant ships sail the sea?
How much will the diversion of 80
much of the maritime energy of Great
Britain from peace to war count for
Great Britain's nearest rival in COM
merce? What measures of legislation
are desirable to enable American ship
builders and shipowners to take the full
legitimate advantage of a turn in affairs
favorable to their interests?
No wonder that the men who make
and the men who own American ships,
wooden and iron, are watching the pro-
gress of events on the Afghan frontier
with lively interest.
