TIE course of the authorities in ex-
Guiding from the Jail the many curious
and morbidly sentimental people who
want to see the perpetrator of last Sat

always hundreds OF people who have no
sense Of propriety in such matters, and
they arc not entitled to any tolerance
or encouragement. Upon no pretext

IT is said that Senator Allison intends
to push the senate tariff bill to an early
passage, and that the great majority OF
the republican senators are favorable to
this course. The New England senators
are represented to be especially DESTROYS
that this should be done, while it is
thought the bill will receive the sup
port OF several democratic senators who
are known to have objections to the
house tariff measure. The suggestion
that no action should be taken until the
new administration comes in is not we'll
received by some of the republican
senators, who argue that the assurance
given the country in advance Of the
election should be carried out.
If there were any question regarding
General Harrison's views of the senate
bill it would perhaps be a good reason
for postponing action, but 1T is not
doubted that the measure has his APP
prevail. But is there any necessity for
pressing this bill to passage in the sem
ate when there is not the least likeli-
hood of its acceptance by the house,
and very little that the two branches of
the present congress can be brought to
agreement OF any measure of tariff re-
vision? 1t would simply renew the
controversy with the possible effect of
again unsettling business confidence,
and it would seem toebe wiser to rele-
gate the matter to the neXt congress-,
which as now appears will be republi-
can in both branches, The business of
the country will prefer waiting than to

RATHER PRIMITIVE

A Connecticut Wedding whose simplicity
! Wa Simply AstoaisAiag.
A Hartford Conn., paper gives
outside of its society column an
account of a wedding that occurred in
| town near there few days ago.
Tho parties consisted of a middle-aged
man, who owned a small tract of poor
/ land and united the business of raising
garden vegetables with that of making
and selling charcoal. and q woman Of
about the same age, who for many
years had been employed as a domestic
in farmhouse. They rode to town
in q market and coal wagon, which
was decorated with lilac and apple
blossoms and was drawn by q pair OF
patient oxen. The prospective bride
and groom were dressed in their best
clothes, which represented the fashions
of 1870. The latter helped the former
out Of the wagon. and after giving the
oxen a batting of hay took her hand in
his and proceeded into the house Of the
clergyman. making known the object
OF their visit. These simple persons
did not know that a marriage license
was required before the ceremony could
be performed. They accordingly
walked hand-in-hand to the Office of
the town clerk and obtained the needed
document. The minister read it and
calling in his wife and daughter as wit
nesses pronounced the lovers man and
wife according to the statutes of the
State.
They then went out to the wagon,
took from under the seat tin pail of
bread, cheese. cakes and dried beef.
and sat under the branches of an apple
tree and ate them. The repast being
finished, the husband drew from the
we'll some cool water for his bride and
oxen and put the pail back in its for
mer place. A box was then placed on
the ground to render the ascent into
the cart more easy. and the bridal tour
commenced. There was no reception,
no flowers, no presents.
Quite likely the future of this couple
will be brighter than that of many who
are married in style, on whose dresses
thousands of dollars were expended,
whose bridal presents filled large
room, and who set out on their mar
riage trip in yacht or private car. 1t
is not likely that we shall ever hear
one of them applying for a divorce or
giving cause for scandal. They have
no ''dear five hundred friends" to COM
ment on the match they have made.
Most likely they will live for them
selves and contribute all they can to
each others happiness. They will
never live in a hotel or fashionable
clearinghouse. and the money they
saved by having an inexpensive we'd
ding will be expended in procuring real
comforts. Chicago Times.

FREEING THE SLAVES.

Provisions Which Eventually Led ia
Emancipation In Brazil.
About the middle of May the Brazil
ian Chambers passed law setting free
every slave within the territory of the
Empire. This is the end to which the
good Emperor. Dom Pedro. has long
directed his efforts. and in his aim he
has been seconded and aided by his
people.
Gradual steps. looking to the first
extinction of slavery. have been taken
in Brazil for the past seventeen years.
In 1871, at the time that the first law
was passed, there were in the Empire
more than a million and half slaves.
valued in money at nearly six hundred
million dollars.
The law of 1877 provided that all
children of slave mothers should have
their freedom, though they should
still serve as apprentices until they
were twenty-one years of age. These
apprentices might appeal to the courts
for protection in case they were cruelty
treated. The law also established an
emancipation fund. Meanwhile the
Brazilian Government freed all the
slaves it owned.
The result of the law of 1871 did not
content Dom Pedro. who was ardently
DESTROYS that the stigma of slavery
should be removed from his Empire as
quickly as possible. By its slow oper-
alton only twenty-seven thousand
slaves had been freed in fourteen years.
So. in 1885, another law was passed.
providing for the payment to owners
of the adjudged value of their slaves,
while all slaves over the age of sixty
years were freed at a stroke.
The third law, which has now been
passed by both Deputies and Senators.
and has received the assent of the
Princess Isabel. Regent. makes the re-
demption and freedom of all the slaves
yet in bondage in the Empire imme-
date.
One of the striking features Of this
beneficent event is, that slavery has
been abolished in Brazil. not as was the
case in this country. as a violent result
of war. nor, rs serfdom was abolished
In Russia. by the fat of an absolute
sovereign. but by the force of a grow
ing and finally victorious public opin-
ion. The slaves are freed on moral
grounds. The Brazilians have done
with slavery. because they recognize it
as q great wrong.
Thus slavery disappears from the
last Christian country in which it has
existed, and from the American con-
tinent altogether.-Touth's Companion.
