COURT CEREMONY.
Silly Customs Introduced by King l.
wv. of EIauce.

Silly Customs introduced by King Louis
NV. of France.
When the King went to bed 1t was OF
the very highest Importance that the
first valet de chambre should unfasten
his left garter. though we are not told
whose duty it was to perform that
Office for the right one. The Queen. in
this respect, was more fortunate than
her consort, us we are distinctly as
sured that she was allowed to unfasten
her own garters. TO enhance the ef
feet OF these regulations, it will be
seen that the King arranged that those
officers who came nearest his person
should have the highest position and
precedence. In practice these rules of
etiquette had results contrary to all
natural feeling rs well as sentiment.
For instance, the daughter of the
Kings brother, the Duke of Orleans,
who married the Duke OF Lorraine,
when she came to Versailles was never
allowed to sit on any thing higher than
n footstool in the presence OF her
father and mother, though her mother
was greatly attached to her. The sole
OHJttt III Hill LntSt fUito was w aug
ment the majesty of the King at the
cost of the pride and standing OF the
nobility. The nobility had no option
but to adopt them cheerfully, for in
some way they pandered TO their
vanity, but behind the scenes they re-
venged themselves by publishing
satires ut the expense of the dispenser
e n. l.. ia
lag that in the days proceed
lug the Revolution the liberal
minded members OF the aristocracy
threw themselves heart and SOU
into the new movement, which
promised them enfranchisement from
this ioathsome weight Of subsection.
Nor can ii be wondered at that Marie
plcity of Schoenbrunn, should try &c
escape from her eildcd prison at Yer
sailles to the seclusion of the Petit
Trianon. where she could indulge IN
unconvenIi onal intercourse with hei
friends. So long as this pompous ano
puerile folly was overshadowed by the
military and personal grandeur o

opinion; but under the leeity of Lou s

fabric OF the French monarchy had he
come SO obsolete toward the end Of TIN,

only upon these trivial observances
and it sustained irrcparable damag,

royalty down to the level of ordinnr.

Railroad Meeting.

Mitchell is manifesting the liveliest
interest in the improvement of her
already excellent railroad facilities.
The satisfactory conference in connec-
tion with the proposed Omaha and
South Dakota has fairly concluded
when another movement is begun
looking to the expediting of the North
Westerns extension to Wheeler. A
meeting was held at the Court house
Monday night to consider means that
might hasten the building of this line.
Col. j. M. Adams was made chairman
of the meeting and Judge J. N. Crow
secretary. Pointed addresses were
made by Geo. A. Silsby, Jas. S. Foster,
j. E. Wells and others. These express
ed strongly the belief that the exten-
sion would be built at once if the
Northwestern had the advanta ge of so
doing promptly and properly present
ed to their attention.
The following committee was ap.
pointed to visit st. Paul at an early
date and confer with the officers Of
the Northwestern company: Jas.
