superstitions of the Chinese.

A girl who is partaking of the last meal
she is to eat in her fathers house previous
to her marriage sits at the table with her
parents and brothers; but she must eat
no more than half the bowl OF rice set be-
fore her, else her departure will be fol-
lowed by a continual scarcity in the domi-
Gle she is leaving.
If bride breaks the heel of her shoe in
going from her fathers to her husbands
house it is ominous of unhappiness in her
new relations.
A piece of bacon and parcel of sugar
are hung on the back of a brides sedan
chair as a stop to the demons who might
modest her while on her journey. The
''Three Baneful Ones'' are fond of salt
and spices, and the white Tiger" likes
sweets.
A bride may be brought home while a
coffin is in her husbands house, but not
within 100 days after coffin is carried
out. Domestic troubles are sure to come
upon one who is married within 100 days
after funeral.
A bride, while putting on her wedding
garments, stands in round, shallow
basket. This conduces to her leading a
placid, well rounded life in her future
home. After her departure from her
fathers door, her mother puts the basket
over the mouth of the oven, to stop the
mouths of all who would make adverse
comment on her daughter, and then sits
down before the kitchen range, that her
peace and leisure may be duplicated in
her daughters life.
A bride must not, for four months after
her marriage, enter any house in which
there has recently been death or q birth,
for if she does so there will surely be q
quarrel between her and the groom. If
young mother goes to see bride, the
visitor is looked upon as the cause of any
calamity that may follow.-Adele NJ.

Tb sikhs q stalwart Race.

The people from Benares to north OF
Delhi are much more stalwart and manly
than are the Bengalese, but they in their
turn are greatly inferior to the men Of
the Punjab. This wood means and ex-
presses the country lying between the
five great branches of the Indus. In this
country is a magnificent race Of men.
The Sikh soldiers in the army are the
handsomest body Of men have ever seen,
and indeed have never seen any Euro
pean or American who came anything
like being a perfect model of manly
beauty as several officers I have seen in
the native Sikh cavalry. Today we wit
messed the practice of native regiment
at company target shooting.
The officers on horseback are simply
superb; afoot all show one universal de-
feet among the entire people of India-an
almost total absence of calf to the leg.
Even in Punjab men and women have
none. can say this of the women be-
cause up here there are two things quite
antipodal to our customs. Men wear
what seem to be skirts and the women all
wear trousers-and very tight ones, too,
below the knee. The other singular thing
is one sees hundreds of men with boards
dyed brilliant red. A gray bearded man
is rarely seen from Lahore to Peshawer,
for they take on bright vermillion, evil
IDENTIFY not for the purpose of concealing
age, but as a sort of beautifier. The men
of Punjab proved themselves brave by
giving England more trouble to subdue
them than perhaps all the balance of
India. But when once they acknowl-
edged the supremacy Of their new rulers,
like brave men they have shown them
selves true. They have none of the ser
vile demeanor of the Bengalee. They
look foreigner straight in the face-re-
spectfully, but with an apparent con-
seriousness of their own dignity.

Situated as the United States is be-
tween two vast and growing dominions.
with its interests closely allied to.
them and continually strengthening its
commercial relations between them. it
is but a question of time as to its poll
teal influence becoming a controlling
one in these countries. Mexico on the
one and Canada on the other side have
gradually opened their fields for United
States immigration and enterprise, and
to-day, with transportation facilities
extending from the great common
wealths Of the States into the heart Of
their northern and southern neighbors,
continued and growing communication
is fostered to the benefit Of all concerned.
Capital has united to bring these
countries together into close union, and
considering the prosperity enjoyed by
US through our republican institutions,
the power and richness gained through
them. we set glowing example to orr
neighbors, whose every interests, ex-
cept political, are identical with ours.
Mexico has prospered since it sue
ceeded in throwing off the hindering
yoke OF monarchial Spain, and its form
of government to-day closely resembles
our own. Canada under the influence
of its mother country, not developing
in accordance with unfettered progress,
and burdened with a debt OF $500, 0OC, 600
begins to recognize that future great
ness depends on its annexation by the
United States. Unless the commercial
relations between both countries are
allowed freest development, are gov
erned by the same laws not conflicting
but equally protective, continued diff
cnlties Will arise. Proof Of this was
given US in the fishery troubles, which
were regarded by some over excited as
not 10 be settled except by war. and
similar circumstances are inevitable in
the future, rs commercial contact is a.
necessity. But although this problem
is one receiving at present newly direct
ed attention, since Representative But
terworth has openly talked of it in Con-
gress, the time is not as yet on hand to-
cause Canada to yield to our wishes.

Wednesday, Dec. 10, 1883.

1.-The New York Tribune draws GER
tain deductions from the results OF the
recent election which are also likely to
be drawn by certain of our esteemed but
misguided Democratic incorporates.
The Tribune very justly concludes that
the returns show that the rapidly grow
ing Territories and newer States are, as
rule, strongly Republican The RE-
PUBLICAN recently pointed out this fact
and showed that the Republican party
was likely to profit and be strengthened
by the admission to the sisterhood OF
States of such populous and prosperous
Territories as Dakota, Washington
Wyoming, and possibly Montana and
Idaho.
In all those territories the drift of pc.
litical sentiment has, of late years. been
strongly toward the Republican party,
and the liberal principles which have al
ways been characteristic of that party.
Only the hide bound territories of Utah
andNew Mexico, the one under the bane-
full influence of the Mormon church and
its polygamous tendencies, and the 9TH
er cursed by a hybrid population Of
Mexican and Indian half. breeds have
shown any fondness for the modern De-
mocratic party.
But the great, healthy and growing
territories Of the Northwest, populated.
as they mainly are, by emigrants from
Northern and Eastern States, and By
those from Scandinavian and German
countries, afford Il population that both
in point of cumberland assimilation is
we'll worthy OF being taken into account
1t would be the same even if the mai.r-
ity of them were Democrats in politics
instead of being Republicans. Their
number and thrift entitle them to recog-
milton, no matter what their political
preferences. But it would be hard
work to make anything but Republicans
out of the great majority of those hardy
and industrious pioneers. Democratic
majorities are greater in the great cities
like New York, Brooklyn. Boston and
New Orleans; out on the prairies, among
the mountains, beside the streams, and
wherever the air is pure and fresh and
free, look out for Republican majorities
at election time.
There is really no good reason why
the number of States in the Union
should not speedily increase from SO to
at least 43. Population, wealth, vested
property interests and the inherent
rights of citizenship demand it. To
refuse the admission of these populous
and thrifty Territories into the commun.
ity of States which tolerates several
which are more insignificant from any
standpoint than these young and still
growing giants, would be an act of SUBJ
stantial injustice Of which we do not be-
lieVe Republican Congress and Re-
publican President will be guilty.
Let the claims Of these aspirants for
statehood be fully aad favorably consid-
cred by the new Congress. So shall Jus.
tice be done and also long step be
taken in the direction of continued Re-
publican supremacy in the councils of
the nation

A Very Sensible Move.

A committee composed of six promi-
nent manufacturers left Bennington,
Ala. for Indianapolis last Saturday, to
present an address to President-elect
Harrison. The address will set forth
that political parties in the South can
now divide on practical issues; that the
signers of the address are pleased with
the triumph of protection, and they ask
Gen. Harrison to recognize the best ele-
ment in the Republican party in max
ing appointments in the South. 1t has
been signed by about SO prominent
manufacturers and business men, most
of them Democrats.
The text of the address is as follows:
We, the undersigned citizens of Ala.
bama, congratulate you and the coun-
try OIL the success of the principles
which have caused your election, be-
cause We believe that protective tar
iff will promote and aid the develop
ments of our natural resources, and be-
cause an issue free from sectional feel
ing and prejudices is now presented
upon which the people of the South.
can divide, according to the dictates of
reason and conviction. We know there
are large numbers in this section who
think as we do, and are only restrained
from public expression and advocacy Of
their opinions, by a feeling of uncer-
tainty as to what will be the policy
adopted in the treatment OF the South
ern problem, and the apprehension that
any change in our local governments
will be detrimental to our best interests.
This fear, we believe, will be material
" lessened by good appointments from
that class of Republicans who COM
mand the confidence and respect of the
communities in which they live. Such
appointments will develop two strong
parties, and thus secure to its good gov
ernments.

THE SHOOTING OF PELLER.

Ford Gives Bail for 5000 aud is Released
Special to the Gazette.

OF $4,000, which Ford readily gave and
Was released.
The killing occurred on the It'll Of Feb
ruary. Both were prominent and well to
do men, and for years had been warm
personal friends. Peller, for some time
previous had become anita gonistic to
Ford for some reason, and took oce&sion
TO vent his spleen whenever opportun,tg
offered. The two men on the day men
toned met near their home, and after
dismounipg from their horses at the gate
of friend, Peller sccosted Ford in a
rough manner, at the same time grasplng

carried. Ford said: "You are NOT
going to pull that on me, ~ when
Peller immediately pulleds and fired,
Ford being remarkably quick with Pistol
got his out first and began shooting. The
men stood within eight feet of each other
and emptied their revolvers. Ford's shots

address to the People of the Panhandle
Counties of Texas.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
MoBEETIE, TEX, March 16.-The fol-
lowing address has just been issued by
the executive committee Of the Panhan-
die immigration Association:
DAT the Panhandle immigration meeting
held at Canadian, February % and %,
1888, an executive committee was crea ed
to consist OF the president and secretary
of the association and!one member for
each county where g focal organization
for immigration purposes exists, and 1t
was made the duty OF said committee to
lew an assessment upon each county for
the purpose OF raising funds with which
to advertise our section, and to take such
steps as they might think best to carry
| out a plan for the settlement OF our
country.
In view of the above, the executive
committee earnestly urge the various
counties to perfect their organization st
once, and to signify TO the secretary OF
this association at the very earliest posi-
BILE moment whether or not they desire to
CO operate with this co mmittee and al
once place themselves in correspondence
with the secretary of this committee OF
the subject.
It will take some time to get our orgau;
iz,tion In working order, and to US Il
the Panhandle, in this matter, time is
precious. Excursion trains are being
run on both railroads twice each month
and our intention is, il sustained by the
people, TO endeavor to divert large pro
portion of this immigration that comes tc
Texas to the Panhandle during the spring
and summer months.
Our local press have so far been very
active in disseminating information con-
corning our section, and the committee
desire to commend them to the public as
being the best medium through which
they can advertise this section OF the
country, and trust that indiYiduals ant
local organizations will give them ths'
support they so richly deserve in thii
matter.
By order of the committee.
