For Veal or for Woe.

A curious old marriage custom, which
is still widely prevalent in Brittany.
was recently interpreted in a novel
and amusing manner. According to
this custom the bridegroom, imme-
diately after the priest has welded the
couple, strikes his wife in the face,
saying: This is how you will fare II
you make me angry" and then kissing
her, he says. "And this is how you
will fare II you treat me well.
A short time ago a young Brent
married n German girl, and
after the ceremony was over began at
once to practice the first part OF the
time-honored custom. The. bride, who
was ignorant of the 'fnner meaning
OF what she considered an insult,
turned round on her lord and master
and returned the stroke, saying, In
broad Suabian dialect: Look here,
do not approve of such behavior;;"
after which the husband is said "a

ceremony with more than usual alice

Most people, If asked which family

Hon. and Rev. Ralph William Lyonel

teen olive branches boast just one

The reverend gentleman has been twice
married, and it is curious to note that
the average of the first family is very
much less than the second.
His first wife was cousin, who
seems TO have kept her spouse's weak
ness within bounds; but with his sec

ing a good story. His speciality In
painting is landscape. but II one should
ask him his opinion of pastoral studies
a scowl would steal over his face for a
moment, to be followed by smile and
an acknowledgment that 1T was my
fault
Mr.. Gay, last autumn, took up his
easel, a piece OF canvas stretched upon
frame, palette, his brushes and
oils, and went TO large and beautiful
meadow, not three hundred feet from
his house, and took up position under
large apple tree. lie had sletched
the outline OF the pretty picture before
him, had put on the groundwork and
had brushed in a part OF the grass on
his canvas when luncheon time
came. The sky was cloudless,
hence there was no fear OF a
tornado, and as 1t was too late In the
year for thunder storm, he concluded
that his apparatus would be safe
enough where they were, but it was
luckless conclusion. When he returned
from luncheon a great Ayrshire COW
stood under the tree with both feet
planted on the canvas. She had licked
off all of the paint representing the
green meadow, had chewed the leather
seated stool, and was about swallowing
a long leather strap with which MIR.
Gay bundled every thing together.
When the artist attempted to protest
against this wanton assumption OF a
strange cow she became belligerent
A friend asked Mr.. Gay If his paint
ing of the meadow was so natural that
the cow mistook it for green grass?
well, learned that the COW had
bAlonged to an Irishman," he replied.
laughingly, land was brought up from
a calf on the things thrown out from
the house. In fact, l came to the con-
clusion that she would eat almost any

New York, Dee. 12th-The discussion
Of the Irish estimates, in the House Of
Commons. continues to give the ParueilitrS
opportunities to attack Mr. BaIf0ur'S policy,
but without result, the grants being
passed under the Closure by the usual
majorities.

time to make disclosures of agIarian

The Marquis of Harrington has resigned
his membership Of the National Liberal
Club.
A Berlin despatch states that Count
Herbert Bismarck, under a pledge OF
secrecy, has partially explained to the
Foreign Committee of the Rciclstag the
policy of the Government regarding East
Africa, and stated that the Government
proposed to maintain German possessions.
1t is stated that the Gar is exceedingly
displeaSed at the KaiSer's interference with
the issue of the Russian loan in Berlin.
The Issue has had an immense success
in Paris, it having been subscribed five
times over. 1t will probably be the means
of promoting a political entente between
the two Countries.
The crisis in the Panama Canal Com
pany'S affairs is increasing in gravity, and
the report that the Government will sub

1t is understood that NJ. de LeSSepS will

The Trade in Christmas Trees.

The trade in Christmas trees and green's
grows larger year by year. Thirty years
ago Christmas tree Was seldom seen ex-
cept in some home Of the richest class,
and the adornment OF churches for the
festival season was confined to the Catho.
lilo and Episcopal denominations. But the
immense increase Of our German popula-
ton has pOpnlarized the Christmas tres
throughout the length and breadth Of the
land, and with the waning Of old Puritan
ideas tho decoration Of the churches of all
denominations has become customary.
Tho extent to which materials for these
purposes are required is shown BY the fact
that single dealer in New England last
year disposed of 10000 Christmas trees,
25,0OO yards of wreathing, and 800 barrels
Of evergreen. spray. The smallest trees
that ara sold bring, on the ground, ten

and our colors nailed to the mast, we
bear down upon you this morning.
Here is news for the one who wants
to keep up with the times; social chit
chat for the gossip lover; politics for the
public minded; facts and fancies for the
farmers; fun for the frolicsome, and
pathos for the poetical.
Tits chuck full of readable matter,
and he must be an unaprreciative cuss
who fails to be amused and entertained,
instructed and interested, by perusing
the columns of the dandiest weekly, in
the crackingest town, in Georgia.
The children cry for it and the old
folks are puckering up their mouths for
q regular booboo because they haven't
got it.
Along next spring when you get bill
ious and wake up in the morning feel
ing swell-eyed and hateful, this paper
will come to you with it's sides bullying
out with laugh and song, and you will
grin SO loud and so wide that you will
have to carry an umbrella to keep the
sun from shining down your throat and
warping your ribs.
We don't mean to claim that this is an
humorous paper, still it is a numerous
paper, after all, but there are heap Of
solemn features connected with it. eve
put this in to catch the hypochondriacs
who don't know any better.)
There's many laugh that Sounds
wildly hilarious, that, if you but knew
it, has as discordant q ring as where
some unseen hand strikes the cold iron
around tomb.
We will take almost anything, except
contumely or cussing, for subscription.
Corn, cotton, potatoes, syrup, cattle,
hogs, horses, farm lands, city lots, or
general merchandise. Come in and see
us whether you want the paper or not,
for we are worth looking at. Then you
might give us some valuable hints and
suggestions as to the best way to run
paper.
Now, we hope you feel better. We
are done, and you can go ahead with
your rat killing, but don't forget that
