Hon. John w. Mcdowell delivered
a most interesting, able and timely
temperance speech at Odd Fellows
Hall last Tuesday night, after which
a Prohibition Alliance was organized
with Capt. A. w. Loving president
and Hon. S. F. Rankin secretary.
Owing to the fact that the public did
not generally know where the speak
ing was to be, there was not a large
crowd present. But Milan and Glib.
son county can safely be counted fol
prohibition.
Some weeks since, Mr.. VIM. Trim.
BILE, of this city, travelling salesman
for Max Stadler Il Co., Cincinnati,
attached the stock Of goods of Jones
Bros. at Humboldt. Afterward they
had Mr.. Trimble arrested, charging
him with perjury in swearing out the
attachment. The matter was carried
before the grand jury at the present
term of the Humboldt law court, anC
that body declined tn find true bill
against Mr.. Trimble, the evidence no
justifying them in doing so. Hi
many friends here are not surprised
at this, as he was not believed b!
them to be guilty.

The Mock Marriage Craze.

1t is stated that in nearly every city in
which the "MlkadO" has been presented,
il has been the exciting cause to mock
marriage craze. Hundreds of dudes and
dudines are said to be personating Nanki-
Poo and Yum-Yum. These mock mar
riages are becoming so common that old
fashioned, straightforward, honest peO-
pie have been aroused on the subject. and
have, with great unanimity, declared them
to be scandalous, If not disgraceful.
So much prominence has the subject
assumed in Buffalo, n. Y, that many
ministers have been interviewed, and
they are almost unanimous in con-
demning mock marriages as being sacrl-
legious and demoralizing IN high degree.
Some simply say that they tend to irreve-
renee, and a depreciation of solemn
ceremony, while others charge that they
are in violation of honor and common de-
cency, and often lead to most lamentable
results.
Not few instances are on record in
which mock marriages have been found
to be legally binding. Many newspaper
readers will remember the Flatbush, l..
l., case OF last year, in which the bride of
mock marriage sought the aid of the
court TO compel the groom to support her.
Waving for the sake of argument the
moral question involved, one cannot bat
feel loss ofrespect for young lady, if she
has reached years Of discretion, who con-
sents deliberately to be a party to a mock
marriage. Probably the first thought that
arises in the minds of nine-tenths of the
spectators is that she is doubtless very
anxious to be party to a real marriage.
There are few young men who make any
pretensions to deceAcy who would enjoy
seeing a sister, or a female friend whom
they respect, take part in mock mar
riage.
Marriage is the most solemn form of
contract known to the law, and should be
regarded as sacred, being sanctioned by
God himself. Marriage vows should be
considered inviolable, and it is very rep
rehensIble in any one to make sport of
them, or to show want Of reverence and
respect for them.

United States the proposed guaranty
would probably be given in the near
future, but as it is in another country
Congress will doubtless be slow to pledge
the governments credit in its aid. 1t is
not probable that Mexico will agree to
cede the right of way of the road to the
United States, and it is not certain that
the possession Of that strip of territory
would re desirable.
The political Obstacles in the way Of
the realization of Capt. Eads' great con-
ception appear to be greater than the
natural. Perhaps be can overcome them,
as he has grown to be quite diplomatist
as we'll as an engineer and fnancier. If
any one could accomplish what he has
undertaken Capt Eads can. The manner
in which the Gulf cities are backing him
is creditable to their enterprise aud fore
sight, but their people must not get i'm
patient if the balance of the country sees
difficulties in the way Of government aid,
which to them appear to be Of minor
importance.

Oant. Eads, Great Proiect.

The movement Of Capt. Eads to secure
national recognition and aid for his pro-
posed Tehauntepec ship railroad is taking
somewhat practical shape. The COM
mercIal exchanges OF the principal Gulf
cities have held meetings in its behalf
and taken steps 20 urge on Congress the
importance OF the undertaking TO tho COM
mereial interests Of the United States. and
the necessity for this government to give
the guarantee necessary 10 insure the
construction OF the work.
The feasibility Of the undertaking seems
10 be no longer doubted among those hav-
ing any knowledge Of engineering. While
in the building and operation Of the line
difficulties OF great magnitude would no
doubt be accomplished, the ultimate sue
cess OF the enterprise can only be consid-
cred as limited By considerations Of time
and money.
The people Of the United States are GER
talnly more interested In tue Tehauntepec
project than are those OF any other coun-
try. II would certainly tend N greatly
increase our commerce wero we not so
hampered by uuwise and oppressive tariff
and shipping laws. Il would doubtless
cause the Gulf cities to enter on career
of unprecedented prosperity, and their
people appear to appreciate that fact.

From the Detroit Free Press.
A traveller landed at a wayside tavern in
Texas early one morning. and, after sitting
aroGnd without discovering any signs OF
breakfast until an appetite like mustard
plaster began gnawing, he walked up to the
landlord. who was behind the counter hent
nearly double over a newspaper. IN which he
was tracing the lines Of thrilling romance

old cob pipe.

said
The landlord groaned, bat did not look up.
and repeated:
"When do you have breakfast9"
The m an behind the bar never moved. The
traveller thumped on the counter with his
knuckles to attract attention, and again said
much louder than before:
When DO you have breakfast,
