Our Next nes, ohanoe for Rain,

Our next best chance for rain is from
the I'd to 9TH of September. Our calcula-
ton places the period at the 9Th OF Sep
TENDER. II there is anyone who thinks
our rain periods are idle guesses let them
try II and publish their rain periods In
the newspapers like we do.
II anything Is true keep 1t before
the public and they will accept
of II in time. Our idea has been to get
hold Of cheap goods, watch for our OPP
portunity, get bargains in goods that the
people wanted, and then sell bargains. BY
adhering TO this policy we knew we
would get customers, and we have. The
good lawyer, when he becomes known,
has plenty OF clients. The good doctor,
when he becomes known, has plenty OF
patients, and the good merchant who is
always on the alert for good bargains and
then divides his good trades with his
patrons, always has plenty of customers.

The Republicans, owing to some
peculiar feature of the situation,

WASHING TON LETTER.


FTAOAiNG CN LIZ IN
From our regular correspondent.
The Presidents marriage, which
has occasioned so much gossip 10
social circles throughout the eoun-
try, has not even rippled the surface
Of political life in Washington. On
the very wedding day the House of
Representatives discussed the pro
SAFE subject Of oleomargarine.
Miss Cleveland feels less regret
at resigning her position as mistress
Of the White House, than she did
pleasure at accepting that response
bic post. 1t is a we'll known fact
that her strongest inclinations were
against assuming the social cares
and responsibilities that necessarily
fall upon the first lady of the land.
She came to her brothers side, not
because she had a taste or ambit ion
for social prominence, but because
he called her and there was no one
else be could ask to take the place
Considering that she was wholly
without social experience, and that
her taste was for something entirely
different, She deserves commenda-
ton for the manner in which she
has complied with the demands Of
the most exacting position in which
a woman could be placed. Upon
her retirement to private life she
wlll devote herself entirely to liter
airy pursuits.
Secretary Manuing's letter of res
ignauon to the President is a states
maulike document. II is remark
ably strong and terse, and laden
with wisdom, to which the stupid
and ignorant Democratic leaders in
Congress will be compelled, sooner
or later to give heed.
MIR. Manning, IL is said, is very
aycrse TO giving up the post, which,
until his sickness, he filled SO well.

CAPE BRETON MARRIAGES.

CAPE BRETON VI MARRIAGES..
Courtship iSby no means necessary
preliminary to marriage. To begin at
the beginning: When Young man de-
cides that he viii marry, he often first
builds u house; and it is no trivial mat
ter here, where most of the lumber is
sawn by hand in pit A man may be
said to be in earnest when he begins
his suit with months of such hard labor
and that, too, from disinterested
motive, not having the faintcst idea
perhaps, as TO who win be the mistress
OF the house. We saw number of
such expectant buildings, in all states
and Of many ages; for some, falling to
get tenant, stood without windows or
doors, the image of desolate and empty
heart John , a young man duly
prepared and determined to marry had
set out the previous week with his
spokesman to get wife He had no
particular preference for any one, but
they decided TO 90 first 10 the house of
Mary , one of the brightest girls of
the parish. whom he had often noted,
but with whom he had never spoken.
When they entered the house, Il hint of
their object was given to Mary, and She
retired from the sitting-room The
spokesman then delivered his speech. in
which he praised the personal qualities,
the fortune, the social position, of his
friend and asked the hand OF Mary for
him As the father had no objection to
the offer, he at once consented TO leave
the matter to his daughter. She was
called in and the spokesman conferred
quietly u while with her in corner,
and she consented TO the marriage. The
spokesman then led her out to the
middle of the floor, and John came
from his corner and took her by the
hand; thus the contract was accept
ed, under the usual pena ty OF FORGETTING
twenty dollars in case the engagement
was broken. The evening was spent in
dancing; but if any of the doacous had
had wind of the affair, 1t is probable
that they would have come and changed
the festivty into prayer-mceting.
The young man attcrward engaged
the priest to publish the banns FOR the
first and last time ON the following Sab
bath But Mary had her own plans in
this; She knew that the affair would
reach the ears Of Sandy -, for whom
she had a strong preference, and per-
haps bring him promptly to q proposal.
Sandy did come, and the upshot OF it
was thas he and his father went late on
Saturday night, reused the priest, and
had Sandy name substituted in the
banns for that OF applicant number
one.

is that Nj. Conkling does not have
