hut before she RECEIVERS there is likely to be
lively fight in the bush, for the Australian
damsel Is generally q vigorous one, ano may
have reasons of her own for obJecting TO MS
attentions. The lover may then be onngeo
to Club her again, and a. that is considered
to be somewhat of reflection on the srdor
with which his earlier effort was made, ne Is
apt to put as much soul and muscle into HIS
first love pat as he can summon.
In some parts of Asia the question OF
mans title to bride must be settled Dy
fierce fight between the friends of the con-
tracing parties. If his forces are victorious
his sweetheart becomes his trophy. Ii her
friends are victorious he must pay such price
as the victors demand. Ali over that coun-
try some ceremony of violence or exnlpltlon
OF physical power must precede a wedolnR.
Some native tribes insist upon a foot race
between the bride and bridegroom to decide
the question of marriage, and others require
long chase on horseback. In some sec
tions of Asia the lover must carry OH his
bride on his back. If he reaches his nut
with her there can be no protest against the
marriage; failing in that, he must pay her
parents for her in cattle. The willing bride
makes no cutlery; the unwilling bride arouses
the whole village, the residents of which try
to rescue her.
In the Isthmus of Darien either sex can do
the counting, while in the Ukraine the girl
generally attends to it. When she falls IN
love with man she goes TO MS nouse Auu
declares hsr passion. IF he declines TO &C
eept her she remains there, and his case be-
comes rather distressing. To turn her out
would provoke her kindred to avenge the
insult. The young fellow has no resort left
him but to run away from home until the
damsel is otherwise disposed of.
A curious custom prevails in Oud Peter
land, Holland. October Is the suspicious
month, and on the first Sunday (known a.
review day. the lads and lasses, attired IN
their best, promenade the village separate
y, stare each other out of ceuntenance, and
then retire to make up their minds on the
second Sunday, which is called decision day.
The young men go up and pay their compli-
ments to the fair ones Of their choice, to
learn if they are regarded with favor. On
the third Sunday, or day of purchase, the
swain is expected to snatch the pocket hand
kerchief of his adored one, and if she sub
mits to it with good grace he understands
that his chances of winning her are fatter-
ing. The captured pledge is restored to the
fair owner on the fourth Sunday, the "Sun-
day of taking possession" and it rarely hap
pens that the damsel refuses the lover fol
whom she has indicated a preference. Or
the Sunday following the sutton, according
to custom, calls at the house of his inamora
ia, where he is asked to tea. If piece Of
the crust of gingerbread loaf is handed tt
him there is nothing left for him but to re,

sender is unknown to me, I take this method
of returning thanks for the same. I read
with great deal of pleasure the character
istic address by Captain Thomas, next to
Barnum, the greatest Snowman on earth. 1t

the days we spent roaming about Virginia,
Maryland and Pennsylvania, trying to get q
corner on the southern confederacy. But

those who survive, however, and to the en-
tire regiment, send if you do me the kind
ness to publish this letter. the greeting of
fraternity, charity and loyalty, accompanied
by the hope that shall yet be permitted be-

dear old comrades in one of their annual
gatherings.

Kansas was the scene of that bloody border
war which was to decide whether she should
be free or slave. I am now many miles
west of Lawrence, where Quantrell
did his most hideous and in
excusable butchery of innooents. To-day
the sun does not shine on more gloriously
prosperous State than Kansas. nor happier
people than exist within her borders. I have
had many pleasant talk with the men who
were heroes in those other days, and as they
are about to lay down the burdens OF life
they delight to shoulder their crutches and
fight their battles over again." while at the
same time they sing the praises of the new
Kansas:

And to-day she stands complete;
First in freedom first in wheat,
And her future years shall meet,
Ripened hopes and richer stanZas."

METHODS OF OOURrING.
They Vary Considerably In Different
Parts OF tho World

Parts OF the World.
Among the ancient Assyrians all marriage
able young girls were assembled at one place,
and the public erier put them up for sale one
after the other, says writer in the Epoch.
The money which was received for those
who were handsome, and consequently sold
well, was bestowed as a wedding portion on
those who were plain. When the most beau
tiful had been disposed of the more ordina-
~ looking ones were offered for certain
sum, and allotted to those willing to take
them.
In ancient Greece the lover was seldom fa-
vored with an opportunity of telling his pas
sion to his mistress, and he used to publish
1t by inscrlbing her name on the walls. ON
the bark of the trees in the public walka
and upon the leaves of books. He womb
decorate the door of her house with gar
lands, and make hbations of wine before il.
In the manner that was practised in the Tenn
pie of Cupid.
According to DIR. Hayes, courtship among
the Esquimaux has not much tenderness
about it. The match is made by the parents
of the couple. The lover must 90 ont and
capture Polar bear as an evidence of his
courage and strength. That accomplished,
he sneAks behind the door of his sweetheart's
house. and when she comes out he pounces
upon her and tries to carry her to his dog
sledge. She screams, bites, kicks and breaks
away from him. He gives chase, whereupon
all the old women of the settlement rush ont
and beat her. with frozen strips of sealskin.
She falls down exhausted, the lover lashes
her to his sledge, whips up his dogs, dashes
swiftly over the frozen snow and the we'd
ding il consummated.
The Australian lover ia still mora Iack;no
in tenderness, If the statement made by NV
ers Deley is true. The lover makes M his
mind as to which woman shall be his bride.

of her dwelling. As soon as she comes near
the spot where he Is concealed he knocks her
down with 9 club and carries her of before
