A HINDOO WEDDING.

The branches of the trees in the gar
den were outlined with little lamps,
and large pond in front of the house
was hung round very high up with flags
between which the lamps were sus-
pended. From the balcony Of the house

horse, accompanied by many friends.
He was dressed in cloth of gold, and
wore a splendid hat, and his richly
caparisoned horse had wreaths of yell
low flowers placed Mt equal short dis
Jauges across its back and hanging
down to the ground. He dismounted
at the entrance, where his little bride
met him and threw rice over her own

would care for the wants of the house,

house, where the wedding guests were
assembled, and sat down on two red
cushions facing each other. A white
cloth was held up in front of his face,
and she covered her face with her
sari, whilst a cord of yellow and white
worsted was then put up round their
necks, joining them together. A large
piece of muslin was then put round
his neck and held up close to her, and
under this they joined hands. On leav-
ing the house, a bouquet on which
altar of roses had been poured was
presented to every guest, and wreaths
of flowers were hung round our necks
by our hosts. A pot of red paint seems
to have been one of the properties
necessary at the wedding, and the
veneration in which the red paint was
held was eXemplilied by factnarrated

posts were first set up in some remote
parts of India, the gentle Hindo was

natives worshiped the posts, and
ceased to carry them away as burnt
offerings. ST James Gazette.

Top-Dressing Fall Grain.

AS it is better late than never. tom
dressing of fall grain is advisable when
manure can not be had for blowing in
before sowing. Manure does the most
good in the soil; on it its value is con-
siderably less. 1t covers a great MANY
plants, the roots do not reach it, and
its plant food is partially wasted on
this account; it is more injurious than
useful as a mulch, because it lies too
close and is too dense. A mulch of
straw is useful on fall grain, and it is
most probable that the straw alone
would be as useful as manure when
spread over the ground. 1t covers and
protects the plants and prevents winter
killing, which is about all that ton
dressing of fresh manure can do. IF
some artificial manure is given. that
will be of value to the young crop. and
if straw is thinly spread this will eff
ford protection, and we would recon-
mend this rather than to top-dress with
manure. We have never found anv
in this use of MANURE on
fall grain.--M y Times.

A Working-Man's Club.

An organization of wOrkin. men in
Cincinnati has adopted the following
statement of principles:
l. We believe the saloon is the greatest eco
nomic, social, political and moral enemy OF the
working classes.
2 The need of organized labor is equitable
legislation, and its failure to secure such is
due more to the saloon than TO any other cause.
3. The saloon robs the working-man of his
earnings tempts him to betray his family,
pauperizes and debases him, and turns him
from education to self-destructon. 1t destroys
the ability of young men in the ranks of labor
to become useful members of their craft, and
defeats the end of o ganiZation.
4. We regard the saloon as having no part in
honorable production or distribution, and hence
a parasite upon business and labor alike, and
we declare the convict labor problem to be its
direct result.
3. We believe IT has debauched politics by
violations of the ballot-boX, by substituting the
press. by corrupting political organizations,
by creating a class of venal politicians who
are hired to do its bidding, by organizing to
defy the laws and to protect law breakers, by
practcing bribery by system, and thus produc-
ing condition wherein money controls legis-
lation.

Some time ago application was made
to the Board of Excise of this city for a
license to sell liquor at the corner Of
Fourteenth street and University place,
in the center of most active retail
trade, where many women and chill
dren are continually passing and re-
passing. The business men Of the
vicinity demonstrated earnestly, some
of them declaring that drinking re-
sort in that locality would greatly in
jure their business. The Board de-
clined to grant the license, but under
the infamous mandamus process the
liquor men have triumphed over all
opposition, and the Board have been
compelled" to license the place in
question. N y Witness.

A New Japanese Shrub.

Japan has given us some of the most
beautiful hardy shrubs and trees in
existence, and that wonderful country
evidently has many fine things held in
reserve with which to surprise horti-
culturists in future years. Travellers
in Japan have lately introduced some
hardy plants Of notable value, among
them shrub known as StyraX obassia.
This handsome shrub was found on the
mountain of Fusi Yama, and also in
Corea. The inhoresence is pendulous
in character, and fragrant and white
in color. The Individual flowers are
elegant in appearance, and are set
thickly upon the pendulous stalk. The
buds before opening are concealed in
the base Of the sheathing leaf stalks,
similar to the habit of the plane tree.
Undoubtedly this shrub will prove
hardy in America, and when introduced
will serve to increase the already
developing taste for hardy
shrubs and plants. Boston Budqet

Governor Hill, on his way to the west,
is meeting with enthusiastic receptions
and making effective addresses The
vigorous character of his partisan argu-
mcnts, the representative position as chief
magistrate and rcnominee which he oc-
cupics, and the attention which has been
concentrated on him both by defense and
attacks unite to render him one Of the
most conspicuous and aggressive objects
of the pending canvass. His appearance
In Indiana and In Illinois as ON orator for

VOTE JUDICiOuSlY.

When argument fails, when per.
suasion proves useless and defeat is
inevitable as the result OF standing
upon the merits of its ticket the bat.
tie cry of "vote the straight ticket
is sounded along the republican line.
This. relying, of course upon the
republican majorities in the past
But it is doubtful if even this cry
would save them this year. BY the
observance of the command thus sent
out it is probable that every demo.
cratic candidate for county office will
be elected; for the vote on president
and governor indicates the party vote
and Stevens may give Cleveland and
Wilson a nice majority this year.
The people are studying the politi
cal issues Of this campaign from ar
interested standpoint, and they will
cast their ballots for their own inter
ests, regardless of party affiiiatien in
the past and with an independence
that has no parallel in the history OF
this state. Therefore We say that
this silly cry started by our republi
can friends of this county may act
upon their local interests in way
that is not intended.
While democrats believe that this
is so. they would not insult the intel
ligence of the people of this county
by any such unworthy proposition as
this. What the democratic organiza.
tion of this county does say is this;
SO far as election of county officers
is concerned the result cannot have
any effect whatever upon the ISSUES
inyolyed in the national and state
elections. The important question in
abe county election and the only one
proper to be considered is the honesty
and integrity Of those who seek oul
votes and their ability to perform
well the duties of the Offices for which
they ask the peoples suffrage.
Therefore the democratic party does
not say to you. the people of this
county, ''vote the straight ticket
even if it be the democratic. but con.
slider well and carefully the merits of
its several candidates claims for your
support. Look at them from an UNI
prejudiced standpoint and with that
spirit of impartiality so necessary for
the selection Of the ones best qualified
to act as your servants in the conduct
OF their affairs. and Nov. 6 cast your
ballots according to the conclusions
reached.
A verdict thus rendered by the in
telligent people of Stevens county
should be satisfactory to all.
