Candidates,

The Democratic primary election in
this county last Tuesday passed off
with little excitement, and at most of
the polling places light vote was
cast. The following is the official
vote for the several candidates
throughout the county:

are not separated, ana mamma has TO
hand her daughter over for the first tete-
a-tete with Adolphe. 1t is awful to think
of, but she has to bear it.
The most festive part of the days pro-
ceedings comes in the shape of dinner
and bail at great restaurant. To this
entertainment acquaintance to the num-
Der of a hundred or two are frequently
invited. OF course, in the case of a bride
taken from home large enough to adj
NIT of it. this takes place in her parents
rooms. At midnight. when all are en-
gagged in the whirl of waltz, Fifine is
discreetly led away from the ballroom
by her mother and an old lady of stand
ing of the family, but not before the
bridegroom has had whispered intima-
ton of her departure from the lips of the
lady who is now signed and sealed his
mother-in-law.
This last part of the comedy is the most
solemn of all Arrived in the home
which is to be her daughters abode
henceforth, of course the dear soul can
not help feeling moved once more, and
this time terribly. The process of the
mornings toilet is reversed to the same
accompaniment of tears and embraces.
The honor Of taking off the garter is
claimed by the old lady generally an
aunt of the bride). Adolphe. punctual to
the whispered rendezvous given him in
the ball room, arrives, and it is mamma
who comes to open the door to him.
This scene may be more easily imagined
than described. The moment is awful
for all concerned. The poor mother
throws herself into her son-in-law's arms,
and, with all the fervor of her heart, ex-
horts him to take care of the treasure
she has handed over to him and make
her life bed of roses And-she goes.
Adolphe and Fifine are happy at last;
and now we will take leave of them and
wish them long happiness and pros
perity.
There is something to be said in favor
of all this.

prologue to courtship, instead of the cpl

V-THE FRENCH AT WORK.

Gallo Laboring Men and Their PecuIiari-
ties-The Patient Peasant-He Is for
Peace and Not War-Shopkeepers of
France-French Officials.
Things have greatly changed since
that exact and most impartial observer
La Bruyere drew the following picture
of the French peasantry two hundred
years ago: You see, said he certain
wild animals, males and females, about
the land, dark, Iivid naked, and all
burnt with the sun, bound to the soil,
which they dig and stir with unfagging
patience. They seem to articulate words,
and when they stand up they show hui
man face, and, indeed, they are none
other than men: at night they retire to
their dens, where they feed on black
bread. water and roots. They save other
men the trouble of sowing, digging and
reaping, and deserve not to lack of that
bread which they have grown
Today the French peasant lives in his
own cottage, cultivates his own field,
and demands nothing beyond peace and
fine weather. No doubt this cottage of
his would appear to an American tour
ist to be lacking of many comforts. 1t
is carpetless, it is true, but it belongs to
him, and that makes up for many draw
backs. He is contented and rich like
the rest of us, not in the things which he
poss esses. but in those which he knows
how to do without. He is peaceful, SIM
pie, sober and laborious. His ideal of
life is the independence which is the
fruit of labor and economy; he is salts
fed with very little in the days Of his
strength, because the prospect of eating
his own bread near the door of his own
cottage when his strength is gone makes
him happy. So he works steadily, I'M
ceasingly, with wife who is a true help
mate. He is no fire eater, no dreamer
of new worlds to conquer. The surging
passions of great towns are horrible to
him. He wants to be left alone, and
cries for peace at the top of his voice.
So eager is he after this blessing that
in 1881 his representatives in parliament
upset the first Ferry ministry by a ma
jority of 355 to 6S on account of the ex-
petition to Tunis, although that expedi-
ton had been highly successful from a
military point of view. In 1889 the
Freycinet ministry was defeated on the
vote of credit which they asked to en-
able France to join with England in an
armed Intervention in Egypt. In 1885
the second Ferry ministry was upset by
a majority of 306 to 149 on account of
the Tonkin expedition. So much to
show how aggressive the French nation

teenth century looks well enough. But
let man who is no longer slim Apollo
get down on his knees, and pour pas
sionate protestations to a woman with
the slightest sense of the ridiculous,
and l maintain he is running a risk of
killing what little tender sentiment she
may have for him. His face isred, or
perhaps purple, with the unwonted ex-
ertion and excitement as he warns to
his subject. Out of this red face CLEAN
two eyes that show all their white.
All the time the little demon of OBJ
servation may take inventory of all these
blemishes. No, no; man should not
allow woman to contemplate him in
such servile attitude. He should not
abdicate his dignity in going ON his
knees to implore favors that the dear
fellow is probably destined to pay enough
for
All this puts me in mind of a play of
Emile Augier, in which an aristocratic
lady relates how she was saved from a
foolish ENHANCEMENT of her affections by
her lover going down on his knees and

nose a little wart, which at ordinary
times was scarcely noticeable; but as the
poor fellow grew more and more carried
away by his fervor, redder and redder
grew this innocent little excrescence,
till at last the comicality of the thing
struck her, and she could not help burst
ing out laughing. THAT wart saved me"
she exclaims, to the delight of her lady
friends on the stage and of the audience.
Let us now come to matrimony. l
have already said that young people in
France cannot marry without their
parents consent, and that at no matter
what age. However, when man is over
twenty-five and girl over twenty-one,
they may compel their parents to give
them that consent.
This extreme measure is very seldom
resorted to, for it has to take the form of
a summons through a notary; but re-
lentless parents sometimes wish to re-
ceive such summonses, in order to be
able one dav to tell their children, in
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1889-12-25

case the match should prove an unhappy
one, that they wash their hands of it. AS
soon as the young lover is accepted by
the girls parents he is received in the
family; not. however, on terms of in
timacy, as III England. He pays frequent
but official visits, brings presents to the
young lady, many of which afford him
the opportunity of conveying to her a
little billet doux. The day before the
wedding he brings the corbeille; that is
to say, a casket containing valuable pres
ents of lace, jewelry, etc. The contract
of marriage, settling money matters, is
signed before a notary and in the pres
ence of the relatives and the most init
mate friends of the bride and bride
groom. AS rule, they are married by
the mayor Of the town on that day. The
real wedding is a religious ceremony
tn, takes place the following day in the
morning.
People with little pretension to style
have for many years followed the Eng
fish fashion of going away for the honey
moon as soon as the wedding breakfast
is over. But twelve or fourteen years
ago such was not the practice; high and
low spent their wedding day much alike;
that is to say, as the lower middle classes
still do.
This is how the eventful day is passed.:
The morning is like the proverbial
April one, all smiles and tears. The
process of the elaborate toilet is inter
rupted at every moment by tender en-
braces. Mamma. between the pauses of
the petticoats, must clasp her dear Fifine
in her arms, and listen to her assurances
that "she can never, never be so happy
as she has been with her dear petite
mere,'' at any rate not happier. But
neither tears nor embraces have hindered
the little white robed figure from being
decked very effectively.
At last all are quite ready, and the
bridegroom having arrived, the bridal
party sets out for church, the bride and
her father occupying the first carriage,
and the bridegroom and his future mo-
ther-in-law the second. The friends fol-
low, and in this order the little process
sion marches up to the altar. The SER
vice is followed by short address to the
happy para sermon on matrimony by
one who knows nothing about it. This
being duly administered, the company
proceed to the vestry, and no sooner are
they there than mamma falls again on
the neck of her sweet child, and again
gives way to her feelings. Indeed,
by this time the event is felt to be
a great one all round, and one
that demands much outlet for the feel
ings. Everybody kisses everybody else,
and there is general chorus of felicita-
lions. The next item in the programme
is the wedding breakfast, simple affair
given in the family arpartement to the
members of the family only. If the ia
ther lives in Paris, and his purse will ad-
NIT of the carriages being retained all
day, the bridal party drive to the Bots de
Boulogne or Vincennes to pass the after
noon; but this time the young couple

WAT PLAY AND AT TABLE.

Cheerfulness the Secret of French Happi-
and the Theatre.
The French are essentially a happy
people. Their cheerfulness, which strikes
the foreigner the moment he sets foot on
French soil, is due to a sound stomach.
Dyspepsia is not known in France. Light
bread, generous wine, dainty dishes pro-
ductive of good humor, never bolted,
always eaten in cool apartments or il
the open air with leisure and popularity,
there lies the foundation of the French
mans happiness. From the rich bank
er'3 mansion in the Champs Elysees to
the simple mechanics garnet at Belle
vile, business cares are never allowed to
interfere with the pleasures of the table.
See the eyes sparkling with JOY as the
bottle fills the glasses, and the good
humored rebuke of the host when a lady
as most French ladies will-knocks the
bottle in lifting her glass to prevent its
being filled to the brim. ''Sapristi,
madame; say that you won't have any
more, but. for goodness sake, don't
shake the bottler Or look how he
frowns if he catches guest in the act Of
adding water to his pet wine. Mix
this wine with waterl My dear fellow,
it's sacrilege! God will never forgive
you'll" There is nothing irreverent In
this exclamation. He is thoroughly con-
WINGED that good wine was given to man
by God to rejoice his heart; and to spoil
it by adding water to it is in his eyes
nothing short of a sin.
A Frenchman is very poor indeed who
has not in the corner of a cellar few
bottles that he has carefully tended for
years, and that he brings upstairs to
-7elcome an old friend at his table or
cheer poor neighbor on sick bed.
Every year the French bourgeois pro-
notes some hundred bottles of wine that
has improved by keeping. You should
see him as he gently opens the door Of
his cellar, and almost walks on tiptoe,
for fear of shaking the ground. With
very little inducement he would take of
his hat; he is in his sanctuary. All his
bottles are sealed and labeled. He con-
templates them with paternal eye. It
was he who bottled that wine, who
corked it, sealed it, labeled it and laid 1t
down. In the driest corner he will point
out to you dozen of bottles covered

In GuaE nERa, Us HORSES.

"Finely bred, Intelligent horses,
are very often nervous. They are
quick to notice, quick to take alarm,
quick TO do what seems to them, in
moments of sudden terror, neces-
sary to escape from possible harm
from something they do not under
stand. That is what makes them
shy, bolt, and run away. We can
not tell what awful suggestions
strange things offer to their minds.
For aught we can tell, sheet of
white paper in the road may seem
TO the nervous horse yawning
chasm, the open front of baby car
riage the jaws of dragon ready TO
devour him, and a man on bicycle
some terrifying sort of flying devil
without wings. But we find that
the moment he becomes familiar
with these things or any other that
alright him, and knows what they
are, he grows indifferent to them.
Therefore when your horse SHES at
anything, make him acquainted
with it; let him smell it, touch it
with his sensitive upper lip, and
look closely at 1t. Remember, too,
that you must familiarize both sides
of HIM with the dreaded object. If
he onl y examine 1t with the near
nostril and eye, he will be very
likely to scare at it when it appears
on his off side. So then rattle your
paper, beat your bass drum, tlutter
your umbrella, run your baby car
riage and your bicycle, fire your
pistol, and clatter your tinwarc on
both sides of him and all around
him until he comes to regard the
noise simply as a nuisance and the
material objects as only trivial
things liable to get hurt if they are
in his way. He may not learn all
that in one lesson, but continue the
lesson and you will cure al! his
nervousness. - Horseman.

THOSE DANGEROUS HYDRANTS.

The reason assigned for placing
those hydrants near the centre of
the sidewalk on Alakea street, is
that they are placed where they
should be when the street is widen
ed. This reason might have been
accepted as sound and satisfactory
if the street was being widened at
the time the hydrants were placed
there, or if the widening was about
to begin. But those menaces to life
and limb have been where they are
several months now, and the street
is just where it has been for many
years past, and where it is likely TO
remain for many years to come, as
far as any contrary indications at
present appear. In the meantime,
pedestrians continue to tumble over
the hvdrants at night time, barking
their knees and cndangering their
necks. About q half dozen catas-
trophies per week, on an average,
are reported to this office, and pro-
badly many Others occur that we
never hear of. We have come to
the conclusion that it is about time
to remove the hydrants, or to change
the line of street so as to bring the
dangerous distractions to the outer
edge of the sidewalk. Delay may
result in claim for heavy damages
against the Government, as compen-
sation for n fractured limb or q
dislocated neck.

EDIToR BuLLET1N:- knowing you
are always happy to correct erron-
ious impressions in the minds of
your readers, allow me to testify
briefly concerning the coming of
whooping cough to Honolulu. On
the 18th of June, 1888, j called on
friends who live on Fort street.
There | found children sick with
whooping cough.
Expressing surprise at its exist
ence in town, | was told that the
child of u lady who was then visit
ing that family, and who had come
from San Francisco by the last trip
of the Alameda prior to that date,
had been exposed to the cough on
the steamer, two children who we're
through passengers to Australia
being afflicted with it. The disease
did not develop in this little child
after its arrival, until all the chill
dren in the family had been ex-
posed, and at the time of my call
they were pronounced cases. This
was the 10Th of June. The family
accredited with bringing the cough
to Honolulu did not arrive until the
Sth of July. They are thus neces-
sarily released from the CENTRE
responsibility SO frequently flung a,
them, of Introducing so serious q
trouble into our midst.
