A Marriage Mart In Roumania.

A remarkable custom exists among the
Roumanians living in the westerly Carpa-
thians. Every year, at the Feast Of the
Apostles Peter and Paul, a market is held
on the crest of the Gaina, from 5000 to
1000 feet above the level Of the sea, and
here all the manageable girls Of the entire
district assemble with their parents in order
to be viewed and claimed. Mothers, aunts,
grandmothers, and various other female
friends contribute to the dowry, and this
completed it is carried to the market Oh the
CANA in neatly made trunks, decorated
with flowers, and carried by the family's
best horses. Cattle, bees, and other house.
hold requisites are also added to the dowry.
On the Gaina every family which has a
manageable daughter occupies a distinct
tent, in which the dowry IS exhibited, and
in which the bride viewers are expected.
The bachelors, too, are accompanied by
parents or relatives, in whose company they
inspect the girls who are eligible. The
young men bring the best they possess, and
each must particularly bring a girdle of sill
yer or gold.
After the brides are chosen the public
betrothal takes place, being conducted by a
hermit who lives in this lonely spot. The
mark of betrothal is not a ring, but a beau
tifully embroidered handkerchief. The be-
trothal is in many cases pre- arranged; but
the ceremony must be gone through with all
the same. If a girl goes TO the market
knowing beforehand that an admirer will
be there to claim her, SO much the better
for her. Still she must take her dowry and
occupy her tent and place herself on view
like the rest.-PdU Mall Gazette.

Diving for 500. 0

The English divers and Capt. r. F.
Stevens, Lloyd's surveyor, have Just re-
turned from the Island of Grand Canary
after raising n sum of no less than 800, 900.
This amount was lying submerged 153 feet
deep about a mile from the southernmost
limit of the Island Grand Canary. The
treasure went down about two years ago in
n brand new Spanish steamer called the
Alphonso~ XII. The steamer had on board
800, 900 worth of Spanish dollars on their
way to Cuba. The insurance on the money
was effected at Lloyd's, and was paid over
to the insurers after the vessel foundered.
After the lapse of over a year Capt. II. f.
Stevens and three English divers were sent
out to Grand Canary to try and recover the
sunken treasure. They succeeded in bring
ing up nine boxes containing specie of the
value of 910, 900 each, but the tenth box
could not be found, and the divers had to
come away without it. The money was i'll
the mail room, almost at the bottom of the
ship. The decks had to be forced by explo-
sion, and when the mail room was reached
the plucky divers had to haul the boxes
from one deck to another until the top of
the vessel was reached. The wreck lay on
o ridge of rocks, and one of the fears en-
tertained before the explosion was effected
was that the force might precipitate the ves-
sci to almost fathom-depths. Fortunately.
the fear was not realized, but the explosion
sent to the surface thousands of dead fish.

A Story OF Tom Corwin.

Stories of Tom Corwin, of Ohio, are be-
ing told again. / recall one that | heard
years ago in a college town in Ohio, where
Corwin struggled with Greek roots and
Latin conjugations for a winter or two. 1t
was, like many of the college towns in the
West, a religious center. the institution be-
ing supported by UNCONVENTIONAL contribu-
tons. There were the usual winter reviv-
als, when it was the extreme effort to bring
in all the new students as converts. Corwin
was swept in with the tide. In four or five
weeks he backslid. One of the fathers of
the church went to him to counsel him,
and in the course of their conference
wanted to know why Corwin had fallen
from grace. Corwin had an enormou
mouth, which, when it was open, was as
huge in its way as an ~alligator's. He said
he had been insulted by Deacon Smith.
The good brother asked for further ~explana-
ton. well" said Corwin, when l stood
up in the back of the lecture room to relate
experience and opened my mouth,
Deacon Smith rose up in front and says:
will some brother please close that window
and keep it closed?'"-Nec York Tribune.

The Rural Oyster.

Last Monday afternoon, the man.
eater came upstairs to the line-em-
bossed, pine-guilted recess where we
write thrilling editorials on Canon's
future, and the outlook for evening
p~romenades in the near hence, and by
loudly exercising his lnngs, tried to
intimidate ms. We didn't intimidate,
however, for o cent. We Just sized up
this blooming blowhard Of uncompleted
kidhood, - he wagged his chin while
singing his song. 1t was immense
the song we mean-and worthy of q
better reception; and il we had not
been too busy at the time, we should
have paid him for it with a lick from an
old stove-hook, along the base of the
vacuum which is supposed to hold his
brains. If the parents of this mouthy
young man would look after him a
little more closely, they might save
themselves q good deal of sorrow in
days to come, and help to abate a
nuisance that hns long afflicted the
people Of Canon.
There are several varieties of oysters,
but the one which we are writing about
at present is the rural oyster, and is not
q salt water product, but an inhabitant
OF country towns, where he grows to
e~xuberance. In fact he is always fresh,
is in season all the year round, and. al
though not a fish, he tries to drink like
one. thinking by so doing people will
imagine he is a man. IF he were cooled
in o while, he would furnish his
own sauce. He can be found lounging
about the church door when the ladies'
are making their exit; and the saloons.
His steady occupation consists in lis
tening to the clatter of his own voice,
when he is not sucking q cigarette
just as the tough gradually develops
the slugger, so does the rural oysss
ter in due process of evolution develop
into the tough, so to speak. A religious
paper says that the oyster should be
opened with prayer. This evidently
does not refer to the rural oyster. He

An Oyerdressed Society Lady.

Speaking of morals reminds me that
n of the ladies Of the Diplomatic
Corps is causing q great deal of talk by
her immodesty in dressing, and at o
public gathering recently she appeared
in . costume which, if it had been worn
anywhere else, would have caused the
interference Of the police. She is young
and beautiful, and her reputation is un-
stained. but even in Washington society,
which tolerates almost anything, she
cannot go much farther without losing
the respect Of all decent people. She
has always been noted for an ambition
to exhibit the charms with which
bountiful nature has endowed her, and
the artistic perfection of her figure is
AZ well known u the Washington
monument, but her dresses have been
cut shorter and shorter at the top, and
wound closely around her as the
season has grown, until she might 10
we'll veal nothing At all.
On the occasion referred to she ap-
peared in q pink tinted-silk which fitted
her 20 perfectly that one who looked at
her from across the room could not dis
tinguish where the fabric ended and the
flesh began. There wasn't q rufie or q
wrinkle from her corsage to her train,
and not the slightest ornament except
. bunch Of roses at her waist of the
same tint q her neck and dress. The
corsage was laced at the back. what
there was Of it, but from her chin to her
waist was one unbroken line, and ~

skirts we're IS tight as her corsage, and

O~ld.EashiOned Beds.

Two hundred years and more ago the
beds in England were bags filed with straw
or leaves, but not upholstered or squared
with modern neatness. The bag could be
opened and the litter remade daily. There
were few bedrooms in the houses of an
ciept England. The master and mistress
Of the Anglo Saxon house had a chamber
or shed built against the wall that inclosed
the mansion and its dependencies; their
daughters had the same. Young men and
guests slept in the great hall, which was the
only noticeable room in the house, on tables
or benches. Wooden coverlids were pro-
vided for warmth; poles or hooks on which
they could hang their clothes projected from
the wall; perches we're provided for their
hawks. Attendants and servants slept upon
the floor.
