Their Wedding Journey.

The sequel to a fashionable wedding at
Woodfords last week, did not appear in
the next mornings papers. The newly
married pair were to depart on their bridal
tour by the Pullman train after the recep-
ton, and to escape embarrassing atten-
tions had preferred to take the train at the
Union station instead OF at Woodfords.
The carriage that had been engaged arriv-
Ell at the appointed tire. and the party en-
tered 1t amid the usual shower of rice old
shoes, raillery, compliments. good wishes
and adeus In the hustle of departure the
unsuspectlng occupants of the carriage
did not notice that the horses had been
quietly and quickly detached-the driver
evidently having been bribed-and that .
number of athletic young men had taken
the places of the animals. The vehicle H.
naiiy moved at last of, the bride and groom
doubtless feeling relieved at getting rid of
the chatting of their friends At first they
did not notice, or II they noticed they won
dered at the concourse that seemed to be
following In their wake and the laughter
and applause that greeted them along the
street. But In few moments they awoke
to the realization that instead OF taking
the road TO the Union station the carriage
hah turned in the opposite direction. Be
lore they fairly comprehended the situa-
tton, however, the carriage drew up smart
ly In front of the Woodfords station The
bewidered pair were invited to alight. and
coming upon the platform they found it

Popular Government and Notification.
(From the New York Tribune


Congressman Oates. of Alabama, who
was one of the most conspicuous leaders
IN the Democratic flibustering In the last
Congress by which the majority was re-
peatedly deprived of its right to legislate,
graciousy announces that the minority
this winter will be reasonable and decent,
providing the Republican majority "acts
fair and square" But II the Republicans
attempt to ride rouyhshod." which Mr..
Oates explains by saying. II they attempt
to so alter the rules that measure can be
taken up by less than two-thirds vote
"the Democrats will fight back" MIR.
Oates says distinctly II am opposed to
a bare majority hav ing that power. When
| a majority is l0l and the minority loo. the
minority j. as apt 10 be in the right as the
| majority" This statement of Democratic
opinion and purpose illustrates very clear
~ the issue which IL likely to arise be-
tween the parties.
The ground of opposition to this Demo-
cratic theory il not merely that the ma
jority Is more likely to be right than the
minority. hut that something mast be
done In order 10 carry on the Government
and TO serve the public interests. The
people have intrusted to the majority,
however small and not 70 the minority,
shall be done 1t Is still the Democratic
theory. as it was in 1850, that the decision
OF the people may be nullihed by a minor
ity whenever it plcascs Il is still the
Republican theory, As II was in 1850. that
the decision Of the people must be respect
cd and ohcyed, because in no other way
can self government be- made success :;
IN no other way can The Interest of the
people hc served AMI the wisdom OF uieir
wishes tested by experience.

When the King Drinks.

.JR. Werner in "a Visit to Stanley's
Rear Guard" tells this story
Whenever King Qua took drink OF
palm wine, or ate his meals, one Of his
wives produced hard brown nut, about
the size Of an egg, with one end cut on,
and the inside followed out. This hut he
slowly placed on the great toe OF his left
foot this done, the palm wine or food was
placed before him. and slave boy came
and stood behind him with handbell.
Every time he took mouthful of food,
or a drink OF messdBgd or palm wine, ne
raped the bottom of the canoe with the
nut on his great toe, while tinkle on the
bell announced to all whom 1t might con-
cern that Qua of Ikolungu was eating or
drinking. as the case might be. He went
through the same ceremony when smok-
ing, taking long pull at his pipe for every
rap of his toe and tinkle on the bell.
