The Seven Wayg OF Marrying.

There are seven separate and dis.
tinct ways in which the nuptial knot
may be tied, saws The MilUaUkee Jour
nal. the attending expense of the dit
ferent modes varying from 81 to ST.
900. The least expensive and the one
seldom adopted, except in cases of
elopement, is that afforded by the JUS
tees Office. There a couple can be
firmly united in the space Of q minute
for q small sum. 1t is customary for
q room to dress as he may please
when tho marriage is to be performed
by a Justice, and a dress suit would
be sadly out of place in the musty law
office. The one great advantage OF
the justice-shoP marriage is its cheap
ness.
AS some people object to being mar
ried by a justice of the peace, prefer
ring the sanction of the church in adj
dition to that of the law, the young
people may visit the parsonage in
stead of a justices Office with the same
preparation. The ceremony may be
fully as informal when performed at
the minister's home, the only differ
ence being that not less than So. and
better still S. or SO, should be paid
for the service, although there Is no
fixed sum charged. The most popu-
lar ceremony among people who do
not class themselves as in society, 4
and also among many who do, Is a
quiet home wedding, where the bride
is attired in a suit OF plain white or a
travelling dress, and the groom IN a
plain black or brown business suit,
and where only a few friends and rel
atiyes are present. The affair is in
formal, perhaps 4 modest supper or
lunch being served after the ceremony
is performed, and the entire expense
TO the groom being covered by q $40
bill, or even less. This is the most
popular wedding ceremony. and this
is the wayin which fully 70 per tent,
of young people aIs married.
Next IN point of favor and inexpen-
siveness is the informal church we'd
ding, being similar in all things ex-
cept that the service is performed
within the portals of the church. II
the affair Is strictly private. the bride
and groom may be unsupported, or
have bridesmaids and groomsmen, as
they please. In the latter case full
dress suits should be worn, increasing
the expense. The "fulLdress we'd
ding as it may be called when the
ceremony IL performed at home. is
next In favor. Elaborate trousseaus,
full-dress SUITS bridesmaids and
groomsmen, flowers In abundaaee.
and a host OF invited guests are the
requisites, followed by a reception,
feast, or lunch. as the contracting par
ties may desire.
The seventh, and last, and most
popular is the full-dress affair per-
formed in church. Among people
who desire to create Z stir in society
this is the fayorite. It is expensive,
and Ia many cases unsatisfactory.

there a few years ago by an account
of the exhibition of many antique ar
tieles at Nara, the ancient capital of
the mikados of Japan, nea kioto,

scribes this exhibition. 1t is supposed
that mlkado had put aside some inn
portant treasure and dated it, before
the removal of the government at the
end Of the eighth century to Kioto,
where it has remained ever since.
Among these treasures is a glass ever
about a foot high, which is entered in
the original list of the articles deposit
ted in the sort of barn where they
have been preserved. AS no certain
knowledge of ~glassmaking in Japan
exists, it has been suggested that this
ever was imported either from China
or by Arabs before the eighth century,
and being considered q curiosity was
deposited among the treasures. 1t is
possible that before long some Japan
csc writer may be enabled to throw
some light on the whole subject of
glass in his native country. A recent
traveller describes a very curious yitre-
Gus sponge with threads which seem
as if composed of spun glass, found on
the eastern coast OF Japan.

Rlorring MIC eaters.

The logging Of q brute in Balti-
more for beating his wife has aroused
renewed discussion as to the desira-
bility OF reviying d punishment which
is barbarous in its character.
The barbarity no n disputes; but
it is urged with a good deal Of force
that it Is no more barbarous than WIFE
beating and that the wife-beater has
therefore NO rights to object TO the
~barbarity. It is claimed, moreover,
that it is singniarly. efficacious. being
the only punishment which really
reaches the sensibilities Of the brutes
who beat women. or which imprrsses
them with a wholesome fear of law.
This IS a strong argument II the
dread Of whipping viii restrain Wife

dread even i il involves the necessity
of occasional enforcement. Al very

The strongest objection 10 the law
Is, probably, that it breaks up the

him to be publicly logged. The OBJ

"Physiognomy is rather a vagary
Of the imagination than a science, =
said a prominent student Of human
nature the other day, aaud, there
fore" he continued, 4 deny that the
expression ofaman'sfa face isreally the
index OF the persons soul, as it is
generally conceded to be, and as the
object of Language, is said to be the
concealment OF thought, so the ex-
preston Of ones c~ountenance is but
the mask TO conceal ones inner self.
''There is q tradition that lar back
in the days Of which history tells us
nothing there was no speech or lam
guage among men, but that men
read each others want and wishes in
their faces, and as theworld was pure
nothing but purity appeared in the
expression of the human face. But
wickedness crept in, and men sought
to keep from their faces the evil that
was in their hearts, thus preventing
the e~ountenance from becoming the
index of the soul,
'No." the speaker went on, Il have
no faith whatever inphysiognomy as
a science, for as a science it is fanciful
and wild. Take, for instance, the
portraits of men who have become
famous in the world Of statesman
ship, philosophy, science, art or let
tiers, and search and scan their faces
for traces to mark their fame, and
how often win you be disappointed.
The same is the case withmen adopts
in vice, cunning and crime. Little
can be told from the external appear
ance OF individuals as to their pecu-
liar traits and characteristics by
which they are known to their fellow
men.
THAT certain habits oflife afix
their stamp to face or form is, no
doubt, true, but the solution Of that
condition is notin the reflex action
of the mind and soul, but for the rea-
son that g certain set o fmuscles are

cause q special developement. lis the
man necessarily all smiles and laugh
5eF that has wrinkles at the outer
corner of his eyes and upward curv-
ing lines around his mouth. Yet
those are the mechanical lines which
would indicate a merry-hearted man,
if the science of physiognomy is true.
Those lines are only muscular, SIM
ply the result of habit, and may be
dictated by the rankest hypocrisy.
Naturally the brutal and ignorant
classes will have coarser features,
and win possess brutal and animal
faces, generally resulting from inher-
tied qualities, and, therefore, they
viii do coarse and brutal things. 1t
will be an easy matter to trace a re-
semblance between the faces and the
crimes of such people, in whom
~coarseness and brutality predomi-
nate, but where viii you find the lines
and marks of brutality in the
faces ofthe handsome Wilkes Booth
or the cultured and elegant Eugene
Aram? Look upon the canvases
bearing the portraits of the beautiful
and angelic fiends that ruled the EN-
perors of Rome, andyou viii see only
p~atrieian faces, but they brought the
empire to destruction.
Instances of this character might
be given indefinitely, but every one
who has made a careful study Of the
subject win e that the connection
between the facial expression end the
inner spiritual nature is q very diff,
cult one to trace"

THE MATTER OF TOLLS.

A Conference Between Representatives. oil
the County and the stat u. of p. W.
The special committee ofthe Board Of o
missiouers appointed to confer with Attor-
ney General Caldwell, a memberof the State
Board of Public Works, relative to certain
notifications of tolls on the Cumberland
road, met at the Court House yesterday.
There were present Messrs. Cruise, McGin-
ley, Tyler and Nichols.
Commissioners Tyler stated that the
country people were complaining about
having to pay toll at the same rate,
whether they came into town by the
Peninsula road or went oveI the hill,
whereupou Dir. Caldwell stated he knew
( no way to accomplish the desired relief
without mourning n great loss OF tolls to
the State He suggested, however, that
the city tSke that portion OF the Cumber-
land road cOmmencingat the foot OF the hill
in Fulton and extending tn Seventh
street, and they would then take on the
toll from Bakers to the city. He further
suggested that in the event the ctty OF
Wheeling did not care to take said 0
off the hands Of the Stale Board OF Public
Works, the county might petition the
Board of Public Works to make a commu
tatiOn OF tolls.
The committee came to the conclusion
that it could not do anything directly,
but suggested that those complaining OF
Overehargss could pay toll simply to Geo.
Bakers and then cross over the PENN
sula road to the city.

TRAIN WRECK X

What ss'ms TO Have Been Their Work,
Over in Ohio.
4 most diabolical attempt ut train wreck
ing, or else a very singular accident occur
red at Martins Ferry, Thursday night.
About half past ten o'clock, Samuel Smith
and George Scott, two young men who
live in the upper part Of the city, turned
up the railroad at Hanover street. One of
them stumbled over an iron obstruction,
and stopping found it to be a piece Of fat
iron about two feet long, with several bolts
in it. Further investigation revealed q
piece Of timber about four by six inches
aud four feet long, wedged in the opening
between the switch and the rail of the
main track in such shape ns TO certainly
wreck any train which might pass. They
tried to pull the obstruction from its place,
but it was there too securely and their
efforts failed. They then went TO FOwler's
cigar store and got the proprietor, Mr.
J. 3. Fowler 10 help them. The three
men could not move the piece of timber
from its place, and Peter Wagner and
several others were called. At last, by a
united effort, the piece OF timber was
broken off and gotten out. The entire
thing looked like an attempt to wreck the
night freight which would have been along
in an hour. The piece Of timber was a
brake beam, and it was thought it might
have fallen from a passing freight car and
been wedged into its place by the wheels
of the train passing over it, but that
thought would not hold, because the $50
p. m passenger train was the last to pass,
and the brake beam was from a freight
car. Had it been there when the evening
passenger train passed, the train could not
have escaped.

Adj. Cave, O colored man employed at

he tells the story, he started to leave the
works about six o'clock Tuesday morning,
after bis work on the night turn was
finished, and soon after turning into
Alley 10 he met two men, n Of whom was
carrying a large valise. As Cave approached
he was commanded to halt with an
oath, and one OF the men presenting a re-
yolver at his head, demanded that he take
the grip and carry it for them. There was
no alternative but to obey, and Cave took
ND his burden. He says it was terribly
heavy, as though filled with samples of
hardware or lead pigs, and it was about as
much as he could do TO tnddle along with
il at the pace the two white men set for
him. Every time he showed SYMPTOMS OF

to the east side oftown, where he was told
TO set it down. One of the men said
you; il you wasn't a working
man I'd knock you in the head" He
seemed half inclined 20 perform this act Of
kindness anyhow, but his companion was
more peacefully inclined, and after some
psrley they gave Cave a dollar and told
him to make himself scarce. He turned
up at the works so broke mp he could
scarcely give any account Of what had
happened, and shoulders yet as he thinks
over the close call he had.

CRIMINAL MATTERS.
THE HEARING OF JAMES BROWN, THE SUS-
PECTRD BURGLAR,
POSTPONED Until h~onday-Auempt 10 Wreck
T~rain-Oaryiug a Grip al the Point
Of a Pop.

The hearing of James Brown alias James
Clark, the suspected crook, announced to
take place before Justice Davis, at the jail,
yesterday afternoon, did not come of,
counsel for the defense, Col. w. W. Arnett,
asking for and obtaining a continuance IN
til Monday afternoon at 3 O'Clock. Every
thing was in readiness, yesterday, so far
as the State was concerned, prosecuting
Attorney Jordan being present on behalf
of the State, while Officers Watson, Bell,
West, Lukens, Shorts, Gaus, Wilkie aud
McNicholl, Lookup Keeper Brandt, and
other witnesses were in attendance. There
were two charges against the prisoner, one
for carrying concealed weapons, aud the
other that he was not Of good fame.
When the case WAS called Col. Arnett
asked for a postponement until Monday.
Hes said the delay was asked for to enable the
defense TO procure material witnesses, one
of them being a B. & o. conductor. He
desired to add that he couldn't see u
objection to the delay, as the prisoner was
in confinement and no attempt would be
made to get him out. The witnesses tx
pected would even have a hearing upon
the charge Of carrying weapons.
Mr.. Jordan asked what the defense de-
sired to prove regarding carrying weapons,
and in reply thereto Col Arnett reiterated
that the witnesses would he important in
that connection. He asked for the delay
simply rs a matter of justice to the de-
PENDANT. He had done his best to be pre-
pared to go on, but was unable to do 60.
Mr.. Jordan said he could not imagine
what defense could be made before the
Justice in the concealed weapon case.
The statute was very clear. Any evidence
in after an indictment had been found by
the grand jury.
To this Col. Arnett replied that it would
hardly be fair to require the defense to
show its hand in advance of trial. He
failed " see what difference the granting
of his request could make to the State, "a
the prisoner would have to remain safely
in Jail. But if there was any trouble about
the State getting its witnesses together he
had no objection to allowing the testimony
of the officers to be taken at once.
Justice Davis said be thought the court
had no discretion in the matter. If the
evidence should show hat the defendant
had a pistol in his possession he would
have to hold him to Court and let the jury
determine the value of any evidence in the
line of justification.
There was a little sparring between the
court and Col Arnett, and finally the
~postponement was reluctantly agreed to by
the State and the prisoner was remanded
until Monday in default OF $500 bail in
each case.
