A Pretty Story.

A very pretty story reaches us from
Windsor. Prince and Princess Henry
of Battenberg, were out walking in
Windsor Park recently, and came
across woe-begone little boy sitting
at the foot of tree crying his very
hardest. The little man, on being
questioned, admitted that he had
wandered beyond the limits assigned
him by his mother, and had succeeded
in thoroughly losing himself. How to
get back to the maternal apron was
question that sadly puzzled him.
Prince and Princess Henry, Samaritan
like, resolved on restoring the little
wanderer to the fold. and set out with
him across the park. As the boy was
tired the Prince mounted him on his
shoulder, and $50 to Windsor" Before,
however, reaching the maternal abode.
Princess Beatrice took the boy into q
confectioner's shop and surfeited him
with dainties, besides providing him
with a huge bag of comfits for his
stay-at-home brothers and sisters. The
truant's mother was nonplussed when
Princess Beatrice laughingly gave up
her charge, and begged that he might
not be punished. We fear, however,
that Tommy got slapping for his
"impertinence| in giving SO much
trouble to the Prince and Princess.

But the card iiend of Glen Roy Is not
the only example of sneaking work on
the part of Republican managers The
Republican press has become contamin-
ated with the same spirit and are push
ing malicious Misrepresentation of
Mr.. McBrldc's speech. The Cleveland
Leader not only printed this campaign
lie furnished them by the Republican
executive committee, but likes to repeat
1t occasionally. The distorted paragraph
from Mr.. McBride's speech is published
as follows:

lhc people, and become domineerng and
people las did the aristocrncy of France in
the days previous to the revolution trust
VIII ne round In the ranks of the people, a
Ike; nay, aud more. an Anarchist, Il you
like, to tear them UP, root and branch"
This is a clear case of msreprcsenta-
ton of facts. The speech from which
the paragraph is taken was delivered
before meeting of the miners of the
Hooking Valley at Buchtel, and was ar:
ranged several months before the nom:-
nation of Mr.. Mcbride as Secretary of
State. He was addressing the assem-
blage upon the subject of Grades
unions" and while delivering his speech
a Republican newspaper was handed
him containing virulent attack upon
trades unions. The article stated that
1.-THE trades unions of to-day were actu-
ated by the same desires and prompted
by like motives as were the Communists
of France. in the.days of the revolution,
when the streets of the beautiful city of
Paris ran red with human gore"
Flushed with indignation. burning with
enlhu 'iasm. Mcbride read tho paper,
and holding it aloft replied as follows:
This is u false and slanderous attack
upon trade unionists who are loyal citizens
native OF the United States, and as such
owe allegiance to and recognize no other flag
but the glorious stars and stripes; but IL the
time over comes when aristocracy OF the
United states secure such II hold upon the
government and be so domineering in their
enGroachments upon the rights of the people

This then is the communism, anarch-
ism. treason, etc, as is STYLED by theI
Republican press of John Mcbride,
More loyal words were never uttered.
and in all his dealings with the laborl
ing men of Ohio Mr.. Mcbride has never
made single speech which can bel
justly criticized as incendiary or COM
munistic. The repeated attempts to-
misreprcsent him and distort facts havc
failed. and the blunders of the Republic
can press on this subject is an open con-
fession of their lack of salient points fori
attack. k.-COiumbus Cor. Plain Dealer.

Among the boiler-plate matter pre-

didates on the Republican ticket.
If this is true it is very important,
and all the facts should be known. If
the Post Adjutants are reporting to the
Republican State Executive Committee,
agreeing to turn over SO many votes to
tie Republican bosses, it is about time
that the thousands of Democrats who
are members of the Grand Army, and
who pay their annual dues and make
additional contributions to its noble
charities, should know it.
If the Department Commander is
sending in consolidated reports of the
Grand Army to the Chairman of the
Republican State Executive Committee,
it is highly important that that fact be
known.
If it is not true that the G. A. II. is
reporting for service to the Republican
Committee, and we do not believe it
is, then it is important, for the good
of the organization, that that fact be
known.
The statement above quoted was
written in the rooms of the Republican
Executive Committee by authority of
that body, and put in type and stcreo-
typed by its chairman and sent to all
the Republican papers in the State.
What says the Department Comman-
der to the charge of the Republican
State Executive Committee-is it true
or false that the &. A. X. has become a

There are thousands of Grand Army

QUAKER MARRIAGES.
How They Were Conducted in the Ear
Days OF the Society of Friends.

How They Were Conducted in the Early
Days OF the Society of Friends.
Before the Quakers could marry-that
is, and remain in the society-the par
ties were required to attend meeting
and publicly announce their intention of
being welded A committee was then
appointed, which instituted inquiries to
discover, among other things, whether
the man was in position to marry,
and whether he was free from the claims
of any earlier affection. They also in
quired into the state of his health. and
whether his relations had any objec-
ton to his marrying, and if not. if they
saw reason to object to the wife he had
chosen. A committee of women made
similar inquiries regarding the girl. and
were very particular in examining
whether she had ever flirted unwisely or
otherwise misconduced herself That
the young couple had not sufficient
cred in itself an insuperab!e bar, for the
society, not having the fear of Malthus
before its eyes, had fund from which
grants could be made toward furnish ng.
In very early times the parties were eX-
pected to be accompanied by their
parents, or at least to bring duly signed
and witnessed assents from them, when
they attended to announce their inten-
ton of getting married, but this was
soon given up.
On date fixed, the parties were re-
quired to stand another meeting, when,
after they had stated they were st II in
the same mind, and if the commit
tees of inquiry had reported favorably,
permiss on to marry was formally given,
and day for the nuptials fixed.
There was no approach to formal
ceremony at the wedding. After n
period of ofworship-generally silent-the
engaged pair stood up and took each
other for better or worse; cert ficate
recording the fact was then read and
signed by number of witnesses, never
less than twelve; then perhaps few
friends might be moved to speak, but if
not, silent worship was resumed as
calmly as if nothing of Importance had
just taken place.
Fox never lost an opportunity of i'm
pressing on his followers the Importance
of having marriages duly witnessed and
registered, for very early in the history
OF the society an event occurred which
showed the necessity for these details.
In England, unless the parents have
married according to law, the children
are, as every one knows, illegitimatc.
The primitive Quakers We're in rather
an awkward fix, for their consciences
would not allow them to be married at
church, and there was in those days no
by-way to matrimony via registrar S
Office. From about the year 1850 they
had taken each other in the manner de-
scribed, and lest questions should arise,
they had been studious that the certifi-
Gates should be largely signed. Some
of the certificates are still in existence,
and frequently bear the signatures of
thirty or more witnesses. Still, tho
validity of the ceremony was constantly
denied. The legality OF these marriages
was set Mt rest forever in 1862 by case
tried at Nottingham. London Society.
