American history is a matter of only re-
cent record. One of the witnesses of the
marriage between Aaron Burr and Nine
Eliza .!umel, when he was rs and she 60.
is still living in New York city and well
remembers the event. His name is Jacob
Fried, and he was Nine. Jumel's gardener
and coachman. He says the old gallant
was refused three times by the dame, and
only got her at last by bringing a clergy
man with him.
Fried drove them away across the coun-
try on their wedding tour, and according
to him 'iHurr was little man with gray
hair and not az all good looking" But
the old coachman's testimony on the latter
point will not weigh against that of the
fascinated danes of Burr's time who
handed down to their daughters and
granddaughter such glowing accounts OF
his powers over the sex.-Boston Herald

Why We Scream.

So used are we to our Accompaniment
that tine organ must give it forth in more
or less vigorous measure while the mar
rage ceremony is performed. The awful
charge laid upon the conscience of the
contracting parties, the pledge and re-
Spouse of husband and wife, the very pray
er and benediction, are lost in the waves OF
sound. If the average American had his
way brass band would be established in
the vestibule instead of the piped and keyed
instrument, but thus far church and pre-
cedent are too strong for him.
AS nation we are not musical AS a
nation and as individuals we love flare and
blare, sound and sensation. We like to
feel that we have a big place in the uni
verse, and to fill it-full! Satirists might
trace connection, remote but actual, be-
tween our taste in this respect and the in
fuence of our national emblem-the bird
that faunts and scars and screams.
We need toning down all along the line,
and in nothing more than in our language
and voices. The one is ford; the others
are loud and unframed
In general society, too many of our best
dressed women suggest inevitably and
ludicrously an English novelist's descrip-
tion of peacocks, who "were attitudinizing
and conversing in the high key in which
they always proclaim a change of weather
and their innate vulgarity to the world"

Fire Ouenching at Sea.

Investigation into the causes of the re-
cent fires on steamships has shown that
the use of a very simple means of fire ex-
tinction, the injection of carbonic acid gas
into the hold, is very often not resorted to
when it would be of the UTMOST service. It
is matter for surprise that this effective
safeguard which requires for it's genera
ton only few barrels of marble dust and
twenty or thirty gallons of hydrochloric
acid, with hogsheads for the confinement
of the gas and hose for it's injection, is not
universally employed for the preservation
of life and property on the high seas, es-
pecially as in the hold of vessel, which
can be tightly closed, the principal of chem
zeal extinction can be applied with almost
certain success The adoption Of such a
system would result not only in the saving
of property, but might at any time prove
the means Of averting loss of life.-New
York Commercial Advertiser.

People from the country VINO come tc

apparently from somewhere up in New
England. Ihey came along under the
guidance OF townsman, l judge, VINO had
been to New OK before, though it must
have been an awful long time ago-as the
man says IN the play-and knew all the
sights
Iney stopped at the Astor house, and
after the man had taken them up tic Iwen-
ty-tnlru street terry on a Blocker street
car because 1t haa Brooklyn bridge" on
1t, they came back ana finally stumbled
into the promenade entrance. Tine amount
OF information they ABSORBED from their
guide YVES great, but not SO wonderful as
its quality. One OF the LADIES in the party
wanted to know what ''tnose things
meaning the bridge cabies-were made SO
long tor.
They're hollow says the man. sYou
see, they are big pipes which hold the
prluge up and at the same time carry water
across. Inat's the way Brooklyn gets ali
it's drinking water. It's on an island, you
know"
When they got to the middle of the
bridge somebody noticed the arrangement
by which the expansion and contraction of
the structure in different temperatures is
provided for, and wanted to know what
tnat meant.
"Inat's for high tide and low tide" says
the man. 'When it's high tide they lift
the bridge up SO ships can go under, and
when it's low tide they let it down."
Tine iron hama ropes stretched above
the cables started, OF course, volley OF
queries, ana the party was informed that
before any man could be a fireman in New
York ne had to get out on the bridge and
run up to the top OF one of the towers
holding the ropes This was to salts
factorily demonstrate his agility. More
than seventy men had lost their lives in
this way, and there was talk OF trying some
other test.
Then the man stood in the middle of the
bridge and started off on his own hook.
He pointed out Staten island as Blackweli's
island, the place where criminals are con-
fined; declared that Sandy Hook was up
East river, pointed out Portland steamer
that had just passed under the bridge as
probably a Cunarder going to sea-" and,
diverting his eloquence to Brooklyn,
knocked about all the remaining facts in
sight into smithereens
And the big, grim faced policeman, who
had relieved the monotony of his beat by
listening to this overpowering outburst,
has been in a daze ever since, utterly I'M

Blind EIimicry.

An example Of blind and minimizing
mimicry, such as most folks suppose the
Chinese alone are given to, is seen in the
little tool which fish dealers use for scrap
ing the scales off fish. The man who in
vented this scraper a few years ago made
it by tearing apart horse comb and at
taching one smooth blade to the handle
in place of the row of toothed blades which
had formed the comb Other fish dealers
saw him using his invention. and borrowed
it to have others made like it. The copies
were made with the useless earn1orks of
the horse comb, like the original. Nov
the article is a staple, and thousands are
turned out, but the purposeless relics Of
the comb are reproduced in every one.--

UNCLE SIDNEY'S VIEWS.

hold that the true age of wisdom is when
We are boys aBa girls, and not women and men:
When, as credulous children, we know things be-

We believe then-however averse to the laws.
1t is faith, then, not science and reason say,
That is genuine wisdom-and would that, today
We, as then, were wise, and ineffably blest
AS to live, love and die, and trust God for the
rest.
So simply deny the old notion, you know,
That the wiser we get as the older we grow.
For in youth all we know we certain Of; now
The greater our knowledge the more we allow

And We may not go creeping up home, when We

Adhere always rigidly and undeviat
Ingly to truth; but while you express what
is true, express it in a pleasing manner.
Truth is the picture, the manner is the
frame that displays it to advantage. If a
man blends his angry passions with his
search after truth, become his superior by
suppressing yours, and attend only to the
business and force of his reasoning. TRUTH
conveyed in austere and acrimonious Ian
guage, seldom has a salutary effect, since
we reject the truth because we are preju-
diced against the mode of communication
The heart must be won before the intel

the cause of truth by his unreasonable
zeal, as he destroys it's salutary effects by
the acrimony of his manner. Whoever
