A ROUMANlAN WEDDING.
Interesting Description of a jolly Gather
ing in Metropolitan New York

Interesting Description of Jolly Gather
ing in Metropolitan New York.
A Roumanian wedding party is one
of the noisest and jolliest gatherings
that can be imagined. The chief fea-
ture of the celebration is the dance held
after the tying of the nuptial knot. A
reporter as present for a short time at
dance of this description held at a
hall on the Bowery. The couple had
been united at the synagogue in the
afternoon.
The wedding feast was eaten shortly
after at the home of the bride. Every
body, including the children, then pro-
ceeded to the hall, and the dancing went
on continuously until two o'clock the
next day.
At about eleven o'clock the fun was
at its height. The favorite national
dance was on. 1t is called a jig, though
bearing little resemblance to good old
Irish dance of that name. The orches-
ira struck up a monotonous but not I'M
pleasing one-two tunl-tum melody. The
dancers formed in circle, the men and
women being placed alternately, and,
joining their outstretched arms, the
hands of each person clasping the Shout
der of his partners on the right and
left.
The components of the living ring or
circle thus formed then began stepping
time to the music, slowly at first, but
with increasing speed, the circle NOV
ing, now to the right, now to the left,
the step becoming all the time more
lively and less regular until it was hop
backward, skip forward and jump
sideways. This was continued until
some links of the human endless chain
abruptly broke off from exhaustion.
The bride, very pretty girl of about
twenty, was attired in an old gold
bronze dress, walking length, and
deliberately tlounced and embellished.
Over her head she wore white fishu.
The groom was in regulation full dress.
A peculiar feature of the affair was
that one of the walters, attired in a uni
form of short white coat and long
apron, was the brides brother. He
danced the Jig with great gusto, and
was said to be the best Roumanian jig
ger in this country.-N. Y Morning

DECAY OF MONARCHY,

American Progress the Most Powerful Ar
gument Against Royal Figure Heads.
There are many signs which indicate
that the nadir of monarchy is near. and
the republic is to be the type of civilized
government in the future Ridicule is
the most powerful of all agencies for the
destruction of institutions or men. Dur
ing the last decade, events have con-
sp:red to weaken the monarchical prin-
tradiction in terms, and is, assuredly,
one of the most ridiculous things in the
world.
Spain is. by nature, one of the most
monarchical countries of Europe, yet
Spain is now treading the path of con-
stitutional monarchy which inevitably
leads to the republic. In recent ora
ton delivered in the Spanish Chamber
of Deputies, Emilio CASTELAR, went into
a mastery review of the history of
Spain, and proved beyond the shadow
of a doubt that every regency had
tended to weaken the monarch cal prin-
ciple in the esteem of the nation As
spain seems destined to live under a
regency until the baby King attains his
iIidIoFItf, tueFc IS every reason TO De-
lieve that the Spaniards will steadily
gravitate toward the perfectly free gov
ernment of which their greatest states
men dream. In France the republic
appears capable of surviving even the
unlntentional attacks of its friends, and,
despite all omens of disaster, has sue
cessfully weathered the political storms
Of fifteen troublesome years. Italy
rests secure beneath the protection of a
government which is, in all essential re-
spects, almost as free as any republic.
In Germany the yipor of the monarchy
is not likely to outlast the lives of the
remarkable men who gained an un-
shakable hold on the popular
affection through their inestimable
services in behalf of German
freedom. In Austria the Hapsburgs
have vainly set their faces aga nst the
movement in behalf of free government
In Russia and Turkey the position of
autoeraey seems impregnable; yet it
must be remembered that in those coun-
tries there exist no means of measuring

the forces that are making for freedom
gland has passed beyond the confines of
republieanism, and has become an un-
limited democracy.
From time to time there occur events
which show the utter uselessness of the
figureheads without whom constitu-
tional monarchy can not be worked. In
Spain the King is baby, in Bavaria he
is an idiot In England the nominal
chief executive is a very estimable lady
who invariably betakes herself to Os-
borne or Balmoral whenever a minis
terial crisis approaches. and there is
then presented the absurd spectacle of
great statesmen making long journeys
to consult the Queen, whose opinions
have not feathers weight as against
the men who represent the majesty OF
the English people. With ever-in-
the question: Why should not those
who rule in fact rule in name as well?
Why should the taxpayer be feeced to
support nonentities who bring neither
strength nor real dignity to the prac-
teal administration of government?
Yet the most potent of all contempo-

monarchy must be sought in the mag
nificent prosperity and boundless
strength of our own Republic. A
century of storm has left our Govern
ment with increased strength and
glorious future. We have passed
through the most gigantic of civil wars,
and are accomplishing what no
monarchy has accomplished-the pay
ment of a National debt. Americans
repress crimes against social order with
a firmness of resolution that is unknown
in the monarchies of Europe. In the
administration of our Government
many abuses exist, but free press and
an intelligent public opinion will COR
rect them all. Europe stands trembling
on the threshold of tremendous war,
and we may be sure that when that
great conflict comes, many an existing
institution will fall as Napoleon and the
Empire fell. The monarchy has come
to be an expedient; something to fill up
an interregnum while the nation is
preparing for the republc.-N. O.

PATS CONVERTS.
How He Won Them for the Church by
the Toss of Coin.
mo Times. Democrat

mo Times. Democrat
Some people who are not acquainted
with priests have an idea that they are
solemn, stern men who can't appreciate a
joke and never think of telling one. Yes
terday it was the good fortune of a re.
porter for this paper to meet priest who
is frequently called to the Charity Hos
pitel, and who has accomplished much
good in reforming the unfortunate people
60 often found in that ms tuition. During
the conversation the reverend father told
numerous amusing anecdotes of his per-
sonal experiences, and wound up a very
pleasing evening by telling funny story
about a priest in Ireland who was
laboriny to get number of convicts
to join the Catholic Church. It seems
that seven men were sentenced to be
transported, and among them was an
lrishman convicted of counterfeiting.
According to the custom of the country
the convicts were allowed to choose any
religion they desired to adopt, and the
Irishman made up his mind that they
should all become Catholics. Accord.
in2ly when they assemble in the prison
yard the subject of re ision was brought
up by the Irishman, who said: Boys, we
nave al peeu Udu together, we nave hdle
lots of money and spent it, and now since
we have ali to join the church there is no
reason why we should be separated. ]
now propose that we toss ha'penny AMI
shape our course on the result. Ii harp
comes up we will all be Catholics, and if
queen shows up we will be Professionals"
"Aereed," said the convicts, and Pat
tossed the ha'penny and the harp won.
Accordingly they all became Catholics;
and just before their departure the parish
priest approached Pat and asked how he
managed to convert his fellow convicts.
80, easy enough" replied Pat, and he then
told the story of the ha'penny.
"Did you risk your immortal soul on the
turning of penny" exclaimed the priest
in holy horror.
"Indeed, did not" replied Pat; "that
ha'penny had harp on both sides. l
made it myself"

was in Hartford at the house of friend
she called upon the doctor. He had
never seen her on the stage, but he adj
mired her character and genius from
report, and he was evidently exceeding

effort to rise from his chair said: Mad
