The Bride Rides u Mule.

A marriage celebration in Algeria is
an interesting relic of ancient customs.
The bridegroom goes to bring a bride.
and the guests assembled outside the
house will wait for his coming. Soon the
sound Of pipe is heard coming from the
summit of some neighboring hill, and
the marriage procession approaches the
bridegroom's house.
The pipers always come first in the
procession, then the bride muffled up in
a veil, riding q mule led by her lover.
Then comes a bevy of gorgeously dressed
damsels, sparkling with silver n
ments, after which the friends of the
bride follow.
The procession stops in front of the
b~ridegroom's house, and the girls friends
line both sides of the pathway. The
pipers march off on IL side, while the
bridegroom lifts the girl from the mule
and holds her in his arms. The girls
friends thereupon throw earth at the
bridegroom when he hurries forward
and carries her owe the threshold of his
house. Those about the door beat him
with olive branches, amid much laugh
ter.
In the evening, on some occasions, the
pipers and drummers are called in, and
the women dance, two at a time, facing
each other; nor does a couple desist
until, painting and exhausted, they step
aside to make room for another. The
dance has great energy of movement,
though the steps are small and changes
of position slight, the dancers only cir
cling round occasionally.
But they swing their bodies about with
an astonishing energy and suppleness.
As leaves flutter before the gale, SO do
they yibrate to the music; they shake;
they SILVER and tremble; they extend
quivering arms, wave wells, and their
minds seem lost in the abandon and
frenzy of the dance, while the other wo-
men, looking on, encourage by their
high, piercing, trilling cries, which add
to the noise of the pipes and drums

Tough Old Zulu Chiefs,

The old chiefs in South Africa know
nothing about trekking, and ON several
occasions became so impatient that they
started off on foot ahead of the wagons.
One dav they had to walk tlnrty-seven
miles before reaching water, and then
had to wait two days ON scant rations
before we came up with them. One of
these men is rs years old, but the tough
old Zulu the Matabele rulers are of Zulu
origin was none the worse for the esca-
pade.
On another occasion, in spite of our
warnings, they left Us, armed only with
~assegais, in the worst part of the lion
country. When we followed q few hours
afterward we saw to our horror that
their footprints in the sand had been
partially obliterated by the spcor of a
lion. Fortunately, however, he had fol-
lowed them only for some hundred
yards, and then, probably not being hun
CRY, he wandered off toward Il pool Of
water.
Such vagaries were to us a source of
constant anxiety, for how could we face
the king without bringing back his In
dams? Our own lives would not have
been safe. We should have been pro-
claimed as imposters or accused of
witchcraft.
However, we managed to divert their
minds and keep them employed at the
wagons by shooting twenty-six gray
monkeys for them The skins of this
particular species are only worn by

The Night is come-the Day is sped-
The Night of Woe profound, for, OIL
My little golden son is dead!
The pretty rose that doomed anon
Upon my mother breast, they stolei
They let the dove / nursed with love
Ely far away-so sped my SOUL

My sweet voiced turtle as he sung;
Tis hushed and dark where scared the iark-
And so, and so my heart is wrungi
Before my eyes they sent the hail
Upon my green pomegranate tree
Upon the bough where but just now
A rosy apple bent to mel
They shook my beauteous almond tree,
Beating its glorious bloom to death
They strewed it round upon the ground
And Knocked its fragrant dying breath

Iseek the rose where nestieth none
No more is heard the singing bird

So fall the shadows over me,

Reach down in love, o God above,
And fold my darling to thy oreastl

were in regard to the western
bran ches of the Union Pacific, he
said an effort would be made to
make them earn something. This
could be done by a slight advance
in rates which would be sufficient
to make the road pay. He dis
claimed knowledge of deal with
the Northern Pacific. He said
there seems to be an impression
that [ am mixed up in everything,
but the newspapers would be sur
prised if they could see my books
to see where my investments are.
| don't scatter my investments;
they cover very small amount of
ground. 1t was not part of his
scheme to obtain coutrol of the
Burlington & Rock Island. He
has confined himself to a certain
line OF policy and the facts when
shorn of embellishments, indicate
pretty clearly what that policy has
been. "The papers say" he con-
tinued, "that I went cunning for
Wanamaker, but there is no truth
in it. 1 haven't bought any Read
ing stock; l have all 1 can do to
take care of my own affairs, with
out squeezing Wanamaker by buy
ing Reading" Gould said no steps
had been taken in relation to any
removals or appointments on the
Union Pacific. He closed with an
emphatic prediction that the finan-
cial prospects of the country were
better than ever.
President Dillon said in an inter
view, that the policy would be to
harmonic all the conflicting inter-
ests and build up the road.

He Denied His Identity.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
The recent death in Canada OF
Mrs. Sterling, mother of Charles
M. Sterling, who was executed at
Youngstown, Ohio, for the murder
of Lizzie Grombacher, has unveiled
the facts concerning an incident
that occurred shortly before his
execution. His mother came here
from Maxwell, Canada, and though
he had left home when but lad,
with maternal intuition she recog-
nized him. When brought to his
cell, Sterling, without the culver OF
a muscle, said:
"You are mistaken, madam, l
am not your son."
She implored him to recognize
her, but he refused, and she
returned home half convinced that
she was mistaken. To his counsel
Sterling said:
''She is my mother, but I could
not break her heart by telling her
that her son would be hung. Keep
it a secret until she dies"
Her death the past week caused
his attorney, w. S. Anderson, to
break the seal of silence today.

son. 81 have seen all the TRACE
dams of the past quarter of CEN
fury, but none that compared to
the scene on that occasion. The
mother, every line in her face show
the most intense suffering, and her
heart nearly broken, while the son,
knowing that the truth would kill
her, stood like statue, his face
showing the pallor of death, assur-
ing her that she was mistaken.
Such intensity of action was never
produced on any stage. 1t could

Farmers Alliance and the Senate.


Col. L. L. Polk of North Caro-
lima, the president of the Farmers
alliance, persists in saying that he
is not candidate for the seat OF
Mr.. Vance in the United States
senate, as reported, but thinks that
the latter will be beaten. Col. Polk
says he has no news from Kansas
except that the alliance congress
who come from that state have
pledged themselves not to 60 into
the caucus of either party, and he
thinks whoever is elected to the
United States senate from Kansas
and Illinois will have to make
similar pledge.
I'VE have such a small minority
in congress-" said Col. Polk, "that
we do not expect much legislation
of the character we demand, but
we have the corne r-stone of orr
party, and in 1892 the people will
have their day. Those who believe
that the elections were won ON
tariff lines alone are mistaken. 1t
was desire for financial reform
hat caused the sweep. This gov
'rnment was intended to be a gov
'rnment of the people, and we
must cease, therefore, dividing our
population into two classes-mil-
ionaires and paupers."

decline to renew the charter of the
company. The last legislature
extended the charter, but Governor
Nichols vetoed the bill. With an
anti-lottery Legislature the company
will cease to exist in '92. One of
chief benefits we have found in the
law has been its effecti in strengthen
ing the anti-lottery people in Louis
lana and awakening a general feel
ing there to the evil which the state
was fostering"
EXPRESS COMPANIES WON'T HELP.
"But are not the express COM
panies doing the work which the
postoffice used to do?"
"Not at all, and I have the as
surance that the lottery company
will soon be cut off from all outlets
through the express companies.
Senator Platt, president of the
United States company led the way
by declaring that none of agents of
that company should act for the
lottery. Then the directors of the
Adams company followed suit, and
l am expecting similar action to
be taken by the Wells-Fargo COM
pany and the Southern company.
So that we expect to have every
avenue by which they can do bust
ness closed against them very soon.
And with this accomplished they
can work only through special
messengers sent around the country,
and this would be so expensive as
not to pay. So that I feel safe in
saying that the result of the trial
of the lottery law has shown us
that the end of the Louisiana lot
terry is in sight"
Much of the credit for the cru
SADIE which has been waged against
the lottery company is due to
Inspector Rathbone. It was in his
office that the present law was
devised. Previous laws had always
had their fangs taken out by the
lottery lobbyists. The chief in
spctor set out to overcome this. He
called together all the heads of the
inspection divisions, and ways and
means were divised for attacking
The lottery. A committee of these
made a report, which is
practically the present law is an
amplified form.

Paralized the Lottery.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 90
Chief Post-office Inspector Rath-
bone has just completed an exami-
nation of the practical results of
the anti-lottery law at New Orleans
which indicates that the actual
determination eff the big Louisiana
concern is not far off. For a num-
Der OF years the lottery company
has patronized the New Orleans
postotfice to the extent of about
Slo,oOO a month, covering heavy
purchases of stamps and registry
fees. The amount has reached
$ll,5CO a month during heavy
drawings and at other times it has
fallen off, the average being about
$4,000 a year. In order to
handle the vast bundle of lottery
business flowing in from every
quarter of the country nine clerks
were kept constantly employed.
Inspector Rathbone found that this
entire income of $4,000 a month
had been shut off as a result of the
new law and the nine special clerks
had no lottery mail to handle. The
New Orleans Office has therefore
been Instructed to dismiss the lot
terry clerks, and this was done last
Thursday. The saving to the gov
eminent from the salaries of those
who handled nothing but lottery
mail will be $4,000 year, though !
this is offset by Uncle Sans ma
material loss of $4,000 which the
lottery company invested each
year IN stamps and registry fees.
ITS DAYS ARE NUMBERED.
THE days of the Louisiana lot
terry are numbered" said Inspector
Rathbone, speaking of the four
months test which the new law
had received. II place the actual
of the lottery at no
alter than 1892. The discharge of
he clerks who handled lottery
etters indicates how thoroughly
he law works in barring the com.
'any from the use of the mails
3ut there are other things working
oward its determination. Before {
he law was passed the Louisiana
lottery company stock was worth |
l,4oO a share, but now it goes beg l
