Rice at Weddings.


 As to lice throwing, the custom cannot be carrier than the of rice in this coun- try Now,, the author of French work on ''The Kingdom of Macassar," published at the end of tLe seventeenth century, found that Ice was thrown out of the back win dows of the house all day during ma1 riags in Macassar. The bride and bridegroom were not pelted, the object was to distract the attention of the envious evil spirits. Left to their own devices, the evil spirits might have played all sorts of practical jokes, might have carried the bridegroom off bodi- ly to the chamber of the Princess of Persia or conveyed the bride to the arms of the Prince of Bagdad, or of humpbacked groom How the rice affected the demons is not very obvious. An acute observer has divided the practices of savage religion into "spirit scar ing" and "spirit squarilg." Were the Mac assar bogies scared or squared, frightened or bribed, by the showers of rice. That is question for Herbert Spencer; but either hy- pothesis is more plausible than the common idea that rice is an emblem of fruitfulness and secures abundant crop of olive branch es. Symbols and ceremonies are apt to glide into realities and realities into symbols. The symbolic rice in Bethnal Green was lately thrown with such hearty goodwill that it nearly put out the eye of one of the bridegrooms. "He was led to a surgel adjacent, and will now nave to pass in the ward of hospital what would otherwise have been his honeymoon Perhaps this we'll directed and galling fire of the rice was kept up by an unsuccessful rival, who may be cong ratulated on the ingenuity of de- vice which has hitherto escaped even the villain of fiction. It is curious to read how the bride escapes from the worst of the mis- siles-thanks to the protection of her veil. The veil is as old part of the marriage cere- mony as any known to civilization; but it's origin is obscu1e. According to one the- ory, the veil, like other female head cover ings, is worn ''because of the angels"; &C., cording to another, it survives from the age when a husband was forbidden to see the face of his wife e-an old state of affairs. Per haps bridegrooms will now take to wearing veils as they come from the altar of Hymen in Bethnal Green.

The Thefss Boycott.

The boycott was in all respects typical and shows exactly what those who uphold the boycott as legitimate weapon in trade disputes would do if they were permitted. They first pass judgment in their ow cause, ard then proceed to execute the same by sspe:sdadng" people by means of banners and sandwich men and other devices to avoid doing business with the man with whom they have quarreled. They go so much further even than these measures as to threaten everyone who supplies him with goods with the same penalties they have all ready inflicted upon him, and this threat is so effective that some os the men with whom he deals appeal to him to accede to the de- mands of the boycotte.s, including de- mand that he shall pay war indemnity of one thousand dollars for the use and benefit os his prosecutors, under the form of "the expenses of the boycott"
 This recital shows again that the boycott is simply. so far as it goes, w.piog out of civilization and relapse into barbarisn. No civilized community could possibly remain either community oc civilized if it allowed rufians to band together for the purpose of bringing to rri q any man aga;cst whom they had taken a spite and to e--tort money from him by threats as ransgn, by means of which be should be permitted to ge on and get his living until it suited them to quarrel with him and blackmai1 him again. These are the actions of enemies Of the human race. They are what all the highwaymen and pirates in the world would be glad to commit if they could form an organization extensive and effective enough to accomplish their pu1 pose. If they were also assured that this particular method of getting pos session of other peoples money was sane toned by law they would at once abandon their clumsy and dangerous methods in fla vor of the boycott. The notion that this form of persecution and eStortion would be held to be lawful by the courts of any civil lized country Is one oi the maddest delusions that ever took possession of muddled mind The testimony of Wiiz;g himself, the boy cotter yesterday convicted, shows that he be- lieved it. It shows also, what all the riotous labor troubles have shown, how complete Is the slavery to their masters in the trades un- ions of the men who profess to go in great fear that her employers will enslave them by offering them wages they are at liberty to reIuse. The un-American character of the whole business is one of the most striking facts about it, and Wilzig's direct evidence was not needed to show that he was an un- naturalized foreigner. Fortunately, now that he has been convicted, there is no fear that he will not receive such a punishment as will clear up his own ideas, and the ideas of others who may be tempted to follow his example, upon what may be lawfully done in the United States to secure an increase of wages

time to time and grasping in 8 most fright full manner. As the door remained ajar peeped in, and the spectacle presented was so extraordinary that l ventured to push it wider and-step inside into the large court yard upon which it opened. No one noticed me, for everyone was engrossed as if be- witched in the religious function that was proceeding. In the center stood dervish with book, from which he was chanting On either side, with torches in their hands that fickered and spluttered as surely torch es never did before, stood two acolyte-like youths, whe yelled sort of accompaniment to the dervish's chant.
 Arranged in great seni-circle before these sthciating personages was 8 ring of forty men, negroes and Arabs, some bare headed and nearly naked, others in the com plete costume of the we'll to do. They were holding each others hands, and whenever the dervish came to 8 pause the whole com pany suddenly raised their joined hands and as suddenly brought them down again. As they descended every man bowed his head as low as he could and gave a deep, ventral Though" The time they kept was so exact that the forty parked like one. On sudden the dervish stopped, the acolytes yelled pumping with their arms and doubling up their bodies, proceeded to fearful competi- tion of lungs. Still keeping in perfect uni son, the barking grew faster and faster and faster still, until one by one the huge, braw- ny, great-boned Africans reeled and stag gered out of the ring, leaned against the walls or fell exhausted, gasping and groan- ing, like heaps of rags, upon the ground.
 The contagious delirium of this amazing orgie was something dreadful to behold. A few still held out, but faint and mufied in voice and the torches flashed and splutterc l, showing the fainting men lying all round the court, tossing their arms about and raving until it seemed as if the devils had been let loose on the earth. My own sensations were Extraordinary, for J, who had only been looking on, felt actually faint and out of breath. and I was glad to get out of the court with it's reek of men and stench of guttering torches. As I went the voices grew weaker and weaker and so died out al- together; the man who gave the last g-unt of all being the winner for the night of the prize for piety. Next morning I was told that my adventure had really been one of considerable risk, as many of the men in these barking exercises are mad drunk with hasheesh and the whole company fanatically Mohammedan. But I am glad was not wise in time, or I should never have seen one of the most wonderful sights of my life.

The English ssLabor Trade.o


 As for the "labor trade" of which we all have heard so much, MT. Romilly gives us to understand that it is dying out. It arose under the stimulus which the American war gave to cotton growing, and to the sudden necessity for procuring assistance for the planters. At first the natives were found ready enough to volunteer for the service, put the treatment they received was not calculat- ed to encourage the spirit of volunteering Then all sorts of artifces were tried to de- ceive them. Sometimes the labor hunters pretended to be missionaries. On the usual pnestion being asked, 'tWhere sn1ppy eomesa" they would reply, Missionary" :" Perhaps they would all pretend to sing a hymn very slowly, while the matches would be left open, and several tins of biscuits would be put in to the hold. Curiosity would gradually draw the natives aboard, aud then the hatches would be clapped on, and the man stealers made of for Queensland or Fiji. It

THE ASSAS SSIN OF RUSTNEs

THE ASSASSIN OF BUSINESS. The result of the trial oe Paul Wilzg, prominent in the boycott of George Thsiss' business in New York. will have a good eff feet all over the county. The whole affair is instructive. Theiss employc1 some musi- clans at wages which did not suit ''the com nlitteo." He was ordered to discharge them and employ members of the Cacl Sahm club and pay them eight dollars 8 week more than he was paying. He refused and the boycott wes declared. Circulars were printed and distributed and all that the boycotters could do to injure the business was done. In 6f- teen days Theisj caved in and was met with demand for $1 600 to pay the expenses of the boycott. He gave check for the money, but soon after brought suit against the most prominent of the conspirators against him. A ju1y promptly found the prisoner guilty and it is now pretty well set tied in New York that man or number of men caDno5 with impunity deliberately go to work to ruin a mal's business and then make him pay tho expenses of such proceeding.
 The infamous boycott is much the same everywhere in it's methods. We have seen it applied in this town, and we believe that in one case those whose business was damaged were ordered to pay and did pay pa15 of the expenses ef those who committed the crime. The conspi acy against the JOURNAL AND COURIER is of the same criminal charac- ter. A ''commit5ee'; composed of a mysteri- ous man who claims to have been a pIivate soldier in the res ular army, man who is a vender of rank Socialistic literature, and a young printer who may know more when he is older, visited this office and began opera tions. Finally period of forty-eight hours was kindly granted us in which to decide to turn over our composing room to the control of sFthe com n Gtee." There was no question about wages. We were paying the full union rates. and all printers Erow that typesetting on this paper is ''fat" What was demanded was that we should give up the right to keep the men employed in our composing room, who wanted to stay and with whose work we were satisfied. We declined to obey the out rageous order, and then the boycott began. Circulars have been distributed, walking sneaks have walked and sneaked, and per- sistent and ingenious liars nave been busy against us ever since. But the JOURNAL AND COURIER is still in existence and Is making progress towa,d fluff ling it's intention of out living 'Fthe committee"
 We call attention again to these facts for the purpose of making clear the character of the boycott. We would not give up the con- trol of our business to an irresponsible gang of conspirators and it was therefore decided that we should not have any business. That we are still "doing business at the old stand" is not due to any lack of malice or effort on the part of the rasce1s who have been as- sailing us and who, we believe, are very near the end of their rope.

 But in Suakin heard the Moslems at this pious exercise, and the horror of it was un- forgetable. On several occasions, when the sound reached me from aear, I thought it came from one of the condensing steamers, and so probably to the last did the great ma jority of strangers. But one midnight was making my way back from friends quar- ters to my own. when I heard the spectral sound coming f:om 8 direction opposite to the ships. I stood and listened and then de- termined to follow it up. So in and out, up and down the narrow, dark alleys of the na- tive town wandered in chase of this ven trilsquial uproar. Passing along between two high mud walls, stumbled over a man who was crouching on the ground, and at the same moment door opened and the whole volume of a prodigious bark issued therefrom. Out of the door came a negro reeling as if drunk and fell in a heap by the man 1 had stumbled over. And then I saw there were several others sitting huddled up along the bottom of the wall, grooming from

is to be hoped that Mir. Romillv is right in stating that these practices have ceased, for unless we are mistaken accounts have ap- peared in colonial journals, within very rscent period, of organized raids upon these coasts for the purpose of carrying off the natives.
