Feasts of the Hindoo Family.

If marriage, death, or a birth among
their kindred were the only landmarks in
English ladies' lives, we should soon have
these occasions erected into as lengthy family
ceremonies as they are in India. If the OBJ
servance of Ash Wednesday, Shrove Tues
day, Candlemas, Michaelmas, Lady day,
May day, and what not of our standard re-
ligious and secular feaSts were the main op-
portunities for breaking the monotOny Of an
imprisoned life, how carefully they would be-
kept, and how anxiously looked forward to!
This is why all the innumerable shankrants,
ekadshis, asthamis. naumis, and other queer
lasts and feasts are SO regularly attended to
in India.
Indeed, female ingenuity has there long
ago seized upon the many other opportuni-
ties for diversion afforded by occurrences in
cidental to human existence and there are
ceremonies to be gone through on every
possible excuse. No phase of life escapes
childhood, puberty, pregnancy, maternity,
widowhood, all come in for a share TIE

The Climate Of California.

To undertake to photograph the character
istics Of our population would be rs futile as
TO attempt TO portray the geographical
features OF the state, which comprehends
within its boundaries a diversity Of climate
and of scenery partaking Of every continent
and every zone. It is only natural that
casual sigbtseers, with imperfect vision and
short perspective, should be guilty Of eyre
gious errors. 1t IS the fable Of the blind men
aud the elephant again repeated, the blind
man who touched the elephay's tail declared
that the great and mighty elephant. about
which so much hsd been said, was nothing
more or less than a rope. The blind man
who ran against one of the great brube's legs,
AZ once pronounced him to be large tree of
the forest. The blind man who bumped his
head against the elephants side lilened him
20 wall; the one who touched his trunk
shrenk from him in horror, a. from great
serpent.

EVERYONE IN HARMONY.
The Statehood Movement Supported by
All. Even the Democrats.

-. PAUL, Dec. 15.-The Huron, Oak,
correspondent of the Evening Dispatch
sends the following entertaining and IN
sJrUctive special to that paper:
At this end of the line everything is
working charmingly for division and adj
mission. South Dakota went on record
three years ago on the question and has
never 1liuehed from the forty-sixth par
allel or the seventh standard. il is imma-
ierial which. Now North Dakota has held
a large convention of representative men
who unanimously declare themselves
favorable TO dividing upon the same line.
Last OF all come the leaders of the
Democratic party of Dakota and call
meeting in Mitchell next
Thursday, December -, TO elect
delegates to Washington who will inter
gede with Democratic congressman to di-
vide and admit the Dakotas during this
session. This convention of next week
mind you, is called by, managed and COM
,0sed OF Democrats. None others need
apply.
Things are working harmoniously kare:
even ABERDEEN has ceased to Yhimper In
south Dakata fully three-quarters of the
press are outspoken for admission under
the Sioux Falls constitution. The Piatt
bin will suit us Indeed We. have grown
: desperate at our condition, after brood
lng over it for years, that we are ready tc
accept statehood with division from any
party aJ any time. Its bread we want.

BELIEVES IN TRUSTS.
President Adams, Of the Union Pacific
Thinks they are Beneficial.

BosTON. Dec 15.-Charles Francis
Adams. president of the Union Pacific
Railroad company, in speech before the
Commercial club this evening, criticised
he long and short haul clause of the in
terstate commerce act, which, he said,
operated in favor of the large railway sys-
tens as against the small independent
roads.
In speaking of the railway trust scheme
Ne said: The railroads of this country are
moving rapidly toward some great system

on during twenty years so that while the

direction of railroad systems of 1000 miles
each under one common management The
interstate commerce act, acting on the
tendencies of natural forces, is at this
moment rapidly driving us forward toward
some grand railroad scheme. Even this,
from my point of view can not regard as
/. thing to be dreaded | am very sure

even trust, can be held to far Stricter re-
sponsbllity to The law than numerous

ADJUSTMENTS
CRAWFORD.

One of the best performances that has
been given in this city for some time was
1.-THE World Against Her. as presented
by the Grismer-Davies company last
night. In spite of the fact that both the
play and the company came with the
highest endorsement, yet there was COM
paratively small audience present But
those who went were most enthusiastic in
their applause and marks of appreciation
and appreciation. OF the clean-cut, forci-
BILE impersonation of James Carlton as
given by Mr.. Grismer, or of the highly ar
tistic yet natural and womanly acting
done,by Miss Phoebe Davies as Madge Carl
ton, nothing need be said in addition to
the many complimentary words already
received by them from press and uditor.
The parts could not have been better
played. The supporting company was a
strong one, there not being a stick" in it.
In fact it seems strange that performance
of such decided merit should receive so
unworthy recognition from the theater-
goers of Wichita. The next thing is the
Cold Day company, and it will draw a
crowded house.
