@The attendant at German the
atre once asked Crabb Robinson if he
was noble. 81 am an Englishman, and
all Englishmen are NOBLE" was the
reply. "Crabb Robinson's vaunt, how
ever, seems to be almost true," says a
writer in the London Times, seven in
the limited sense which a college of
arms would attach to the word. 1t is
quite possible that majority of English
gentlemen are in the succession to peer
ages, and even in the succession to the
Crown. What is rare in every nation
is long and noble descent in unbrok-
en- male line. Such lineage as that
of Don Carlos, the heir male of the
House of Capet, is probably unrival-
ed. Yet it is no mere truism to assert
that Queen Victoria is the best born
lady in her own dominions, both as
the immediate descendant of kings, and
as nearer in blood than any of her SUBJ
jects to the old reigning dynastics of
Stuart, Tudor, and Plantagenet. The
Dukes of Buckingham and Sutherland,
who in this respect stand as near as any
to the throne, descend from Henry VII;
while her Majesty issues from James 1.
Henry VIII. has no descendants in
England, nor has Richard Coeur de
Lion, nor Edward the Black Prince,
nor Henry ", nor William of Orange"

the hunt. His presence is wholly ig-

the hunt. His presence is wholly lg-
nored.
If the girl does not like him she tells
her grandmother, and when the young
man comes again at night, that good
old lady rises from her bed, takes
handful of hot ashes from the fire and
throws them in his face. That's the
mitten. If he persists in his attentions
and continues to come again and again,
the whole family unite in heaping in
dignities upon him, but the girl is never
party to this. Her brothers and sis
tiers, and father and mother throw ashes
upon him, dowse him with water flag
ellate him with stout switches and drive
him from the lodge. Some times an
Indian persists, in spite of such assaults,
and goes again and again to the tent
where the girl is sleeping. Sometimes
his perseverance wins her heart, but
not often.
If the girl likes him and is willing to
marry him, then she tells her grand
mother who informs the girls father.
If the family think it is a suitable
match the father invites the young man
to that tent and asks him in the pres
ence of the girl if he loves her and will
take good care of her. Then the father
asks the girl if she loves the young man,
and tells her the duties of wife. If
both say they love each other, the two
become engaged, but even after that
they do not talk together, neither do
they go about together. A day is fixed
for the wedding. A great feast is pre-
pared.
The relatives of the girl and the
young man sit around great campfire
together, the young man and the girl
sitting side by side. The food is in
baskets. The girl has carefully cooked
basket of food for the intended hus-
band, and as she hands it to him, he
seizes her wrist with his right hand and
takes the basket with his left. That is
the marriage ceremony. The girls
father then pronounces them man and
wife, and they go to lodge and live
together.
1t may seem to white people that the
Piute system of courtship is crude and
foolish: but it has great many pleas
ant features, and does not lack the ex-
citement, although it is unexpressed,
which attends that period of a girls
life.

Beautiful Words.

Cast thy bread upon the waters, for thou sha
ind it after many days.-Eccles. XII: 1.
Mid the lssses and the gains,
Mid the PLEASURES and the pains;
Mid the hoTngs and the fears,
And the restl.ssness of years,
We repeat thispassage Ger
We believe it mere and more
Bread upon the waters cast
Shall be gathered at the last.
Gold and silver, like the sands,
Will keep slipping through our hands;
Jewels, cleaning like spark,
Will be hidden in the dark;
Sun and moon and stars will pale,
But these words will never fail
Bread upon the waters cast
Shall be gathered at the last.
Soon like dust, to you and me,
Will our earthly treasure be;
But the loving words and deeds
To soul in bitterest need,
They will not forgotten be,
They will live eternally-
Bread upon the waters cast
Shall be gathered at the last.
Fast the moments slip away,
Soon our mortal powers decay,
Lower and lower sinks the sun,
What we do must soon be done;
Then what rapture if we hear
Thousand voices ringing clear
Bread upon the waters cast
Shall be gathered at the last. :

CoL- CHEV, Of Jefferson, who is mem
Der Ofthe Committee on Taxation and
Finance was . stout advocate of the license
billinrOduced BY the said committee, and
passed BY over two-lhirds OF the House. 1t
Is to be hoped the Senate will give it as
hearty support as the lower branch, for of
all the bills thus far reported, it ranks
among the most important The value of
the bill Will readily be realized where it is
known the additional revenue to the
State from its operation viii
be from $4,000 to $4,000, thus relieving
the industrial classes to that extent. These
licenses come from sources that can easily
bear them. One source for instance, is
corporations Of other States seeking char
ters in this State, which, however, will each
have to pay fee Of s53PeI ..nunm during
its existence or forfeit its charter. Home
companies to pay an annual fee
of ten dollars with ike
penalty. West Yirginia's laws
are exceedingly liberal to joint stock com
panies, and foreign companies especially
should pay something for the privilege Of
the franchise.
Colonel CHEW has developed eonstita-
tional grasp Of his duties and shows an
aggressive legislative character that is
pleasant.tO contemplate inthese dayso tim
idity and general uncertainty Of what to do
ofthe average Legislator, for fear he will not
please his constituency or mayhap incur the
hostility Of some of the more wealthy and in
auential citizens. This Characteristic in
the Delegate from Jefferson was exempli-
fed in his advocacy of both
this license bill and the addi-
tiOnal FIVE cent levy for building fund. He
takes good solid ground for his position,
viz: The Constitution says any deficit in
CURED by any preceding legislature shall
be provided for by its successor. All the
members subscribe to solemn oath to obey
this fundamental law, and yet instead of do
ing their sworn duty keep on from year to
year disregarding it, and permitting the
State to run into debt deeper and deeper.
Such logical premises and conclusions are
unanswerable, and the REGISTER only
wishes the woods were full of such gentle
men as Col. CHEW.

A WONDERFUL LEADER.
Randall and His Mastery in the
House.
RULING BY MS MANLINsss
Congress Doing a Tremendous Amount
Of Work in These lat
ter Days.
THE SENATE IN EXTRA SESSION.
Speeial % tAe RegiIle1.

wAsmSGToS, February 2i.-The import
ance OF Mr.. .RandalPs victory Of yesterday
when he routed the men who have lost no
occasion to waste time over the River and
Harbor bill, can not be estimated. He is
wonderful. What hold the Congressman
from Pennsylvania has On the whole House!
Technically he is known only as the
leader of a minority fac
ton of the Democratic party.
Really there is no man on either side who
is so universally successful IN securing any
end at which he aims. He holds his own
party in the hollow of his hand and the
more conservative Republicans are with him
every time, and 1t is noteworthy fact
that the strength of Randall does
not spring from his personal popularity.
He is not by any means the most popular
man in the House, and has made great
many enemies in the coarse of his public
career. He makes it a matter of pride to
maintain his own reputation as "a good
hater." and while he is most
reliable friend he is at the same time an
equally reliable enemy. He sticks close to
those who are with him, but closer to those
who have incurred his hostility. His power
consists in intellectual force and in manh-
ness. He is complete master Of the rules
of the House and no one Of the
Republican members can meet him
as a Parliam entarian. The Democrats have
not another member who can be pitted
against Reed or Hiscock and as result
cannot afford to ALLEVIATE him. His prestige
gives him an immense power in the way OF
either helping member whose peliti-
cal future depends on getting GER
tain local bills through the House
and it is dangerous thing for any man to
refuse unanimous consent" when Randall
wants it.
The naval appropriation bill was gotten
through with a good style last night, and a
night session Of two hours was devoted
to the affairs Of the District OF
Columbia. If equal expedition IS
used during the rest of the week
there will be no difficulty in getting all the
appropriation bills through the House be-
fore Friday night.
To all present appearances the remain
der of the session will be devoid Of incident
and exceedingly dull, but will be character
lied by some Of the hardest work ever done
in the chamber Of the lower House, The
Senate will have nothing 10 do except 10
concur in the legislation of the House. If
it attempts 10 contest any important point
in this legislature, it will force an extra ses-
sion.
Congressman Henry W. Slocum says that
his position in regard to the Grant Retire
ment Bill has been misunderstood. He is
is ready to vote for either of the measures
now before Congress andis honestly anxious
to see one Of them passed. But he did be-
lieve and still insists that the form of the
bill presented in the House and defeated
there was in every way the preferable one,
