ton in Ellensburgh and over a thousand
dollars of this coin has been passed there

pieces are of good appearance and the right

ters will not be considered unless accompa-
 nied by some reason for the dismissal of the
 postmaster already in possession. This de-
 pertinent appoints daily a large number of
 fourth-class postmasters, but in every case
 the appointment has been made by reason of
 resignation rendered or because the incum-
 bent was shown to be incompetent or inefi-
 cient. In all cases where ineficiency or in-
 competency cannot be shown postmaster
 will be allowed to serve out his term of four
 years. It would disarrange the whole ma
 chine to make those wholesale removals.

 The average age at which men marry is about 27, while the average age at which wo.
 men marry is about 25 years. Out of every LOGO persons 602 are unmarried, 345 are married and 53 widowed. Over one-half oi all the wemen between 15 and 45 are unmar. ried.

NEATARELE CHIEFS.

Envoys of King Lobensulo-What They See and Do In London. King Lobengulo of Matabeland is by far the most powerful of South African poten- tates. He can put 16,000 highly trained fighting men in the field at 8 moments nos tlce About three weeks ago, two envoys. chosen from among his chiefs or indunas, 1 and charged by Lobengulo with an import ant mission, arrived in England, and were | received in audience by the Queen at Wind- sor. A representative of the Daily Telegram 1 had an introduction to these ambassadors of 1 the South African monarch, and long con- versation with them about their visit to 1 England. He found the two indunas most comfortably ensconsed in bachelors s apartment, half studio, half drawing room. | the sweet society softness of the latter hid- den, but not crushed, by the accessories of l the atelier and masculine den. There were paintings on eases, statuary, recent trophies of the chase and battIefelds, bric-a- brac, l plentifully strewn about, overlying, but not quite hiding, the more prosaic but pretty l arts of our modern decorators and upholster-
 CTS. With that dignity and gravity by no | means rare among the well bred people of the races we term savage and uncivilized,
 they shook hands and exchanged grees- ing.
 Here were two men of medium height,
 hale and strong, but evidently elderly, for their woolly hair was thickly streaked with
 gray. Both were dressed in European fash
 ion, and, as they had just come in from 8
 drive, they had still on heavy overcoats and
 fur-lined gloves. There was nothing about
 them to indicate that boots, trousers, coats ! and gloves were 8 new experience to these
 indunas, whose aforetime daily costume,
 down to within the last two months, had
 simply and solely consisted of the Matabele
 skirt or kilt of mokeys' tails. Only to theil
 king on the royal line is it allowed to wear
 short pair of what in stage parlance are
 called "trunks," or brooches of ostrich skin
 For the rest the fringe or skirt of tails is tht prescribed garment.
 The younger of the two envoys is called Umshete. He is 65 years of age and is cousin of the king, and was chosen because
 of his wisdom and eloquence, for he is great orator The other is Babyjane, a mar
 of great powers of memory, though nov over 75. Babyjane was at the birth of tn Matabele nation just over 50 years ago, fo he accompanied the founder, Umsiiikazi

BALLOT REFORM.

Ballot reform has made very encouraging progress in this country during the winter. At it's beginning Massachusetts was the only State that possessed thorough-going Aus t1alian ballot law, with complete provisions for secrecy and the abolition of private ex- penditure in printing tickets. The city of Louisville had a stringent ballot law of the Australian type; and Milwaukee had already adopted modified form of the same system. But during the winter in Rhode Island the enactment of an admirably drawn reform law has been assured. In Indiana an exec p- tionally comprehensive and stringent statute has been enacted, which in some respects is superior to either Massachusetts or the Rhode Island law, and whi ch, in fact, seems, 50 far as it's wording goes, to be the most complete example of election and ballot re- form yet adopted in this country. It should be noted, too, that Montana will hold it's first election as State under the Australian system of voting, as law based upon that system has been recently adopted by the territorial legislature. In Missouri all au- thorities agree that the legislature will pass a bill embodying complete application of ths 0OotAo olAaA c1Skc HI 4SSO16ShA d SAL4AldA bill has, we believe, passed one branch of the legislature, and is likely to pass the oth- CT and become law. In Wisconsin the senate has passed bill extending the pro- visions of the present admirable Milwaukee law and making them applicable to the en" tire State.
 All this is very cheering, for it indicates that there are better things to come. As ! the Providence Journal puts it: It certainly | shows that the American people notoriously long tolerant of abuses, are at last aroused te | a high pitch of indignation and protest against the money evils in politics; and that
 this is so is, on the whole, better guaran-
 tee against bribery and corruption hereafter
 than any number of statutes can be, useful
 and necessary though such statutes are. N removable evil can long exist when once the
 "plain people" of this great republic thor | oughly make up their minds to abolish it
 The passage of all these ballot reform laws
 therefore, and more especially the popula1
 influence that has forced their passage, ma.
 be taken to mark the approach of an era il
 which bribery, corruption and all the evil
 of the money power in politics will be mucl less conspicuous than they have been in tht
 last two decades of American history.

ROMANCE OF GRETNA GREEN.
Crossing the Scotch Border in Hastt
 to Marry.

Crossing tho ScOkch bOf0of 1n Ha8ko
 to Marry.
 Gretna Green was said to be 'killed' by the act of 1856, and place where elope- ments were legalized no doubt it's glories have departed, says London journal. The le- gality of Scotch marriages, however, still survives. Any person residing in Scotland three weeks can get married after the in- formal Scotch manner, and the marriage will hold good In fact, elopements might still be conducted in circUitous fashion. The gentleman could go first, reside at Gretna Green for three weeks, then be joined by his bride, and marry her on the spot Other things, however, have put an end to this form of romantic marriage. In the days of posting the clipping lovers had every advan- tage. The young gentlemen could arrange before hand for relays of horses; the pursu- ing sire could not do so, not knowing the date of the preparations for flight Then it was said that the inkeepers and postboys always favored the fugitives. If the fathers generally overlook the runaways, it would have been bad for trade; therefore the old gentleman did not always secure the freshest or best steeds, and it was surprising how of- Geu HIS pCSb OOSs IOuul AoOSo. Again and again was the rattle of the pursu- CTS coach heard when the knot was secretly tied, but not until then. Nowadays there are no coaches, but express trains and the telegraph wires could anticipate the lovers, and possibly secure delay, if not detention. | Also marriages in England have been made l so easy that there are Gretna Greens at our very doors. Three VI eeks' notice to regis 1 trar and quarter of an hours absence from l home will bring about marriage without any one being the wiser-above all, not the l man and woman who are wed. In London | and large cities also the calling of banns at a parish church is very insufficient publicity when SD many families attend favorite preachers elsewhere, and may never hear 1 that their Mary or Ethel or Constance is | about to marry in three weeks "that" impe- cunious young Brown. Thus Gretna Green still virtually finger with us. Magnetic at traction or something else forces young 1 girls, otherwise intelligent, attractive, and | even intellectual, to fix all the love of their 1 young hearts on the wrong man. Fathers 1 threaten, mothers weep, brothers call him, | or prove him to be, everything that is un- | suitable or even bad; she will not listen or 1 refuses to believe. One day the street door
 is open, and she leaves her fathers house to l fix her own destiny-perhaps to love him al | ways in spite of all his faults or even vices, l or to repent once-and that for life. So l Gretna Green, or what it once signihed, | lives forever in human hearts.
