FERGUSON was a colored republican
who was not ostracised from Fort
Bend county, o, no! All the same the
democrats whom he sued for driving
him from office and out of the state
paid him 50, 600 to drop his civil dam
age suit. And yet there are demo
cratic papers in Texas that swear no
colored republican in Texas ever was
moIested on account of his politics.
Are democrats paying $4,000 for fun ?

A Short Way With Wives.

In paper on Tangier, in the New Re-
view. Vernon Lee" reports chat she
had with a Moorish gentleman, one Ha-
san: "He related to me the history of
his three marriages and descanted on
the perfection OF his present wife, The
first, he said, was his cousin. He
bought her beautif clothes and furni-
ture, but after some time she gave him
words. Instantly he sent her back,
with all be had given her. and took an
other wife; remarks that she had given
him three girls, dead, and boy who
still survives. The second wife went
all right till one day she took it into her
her head to go to the vanor bath with
out his permission. Who gave you
leave to GO to the vapor bath without
me-" he asked. Il don't require any
body's leave, answered she. And i'm
mediately,' he added, with that ener-
geLic downward pointing gesture, I
sent her home with all the things / had
ever given her. AS regards the pres
ent wife, he was quite delighted with
her. She made all the children's
clothes and her own; she could sew
with the machine; she cooked; she
never required to buy bottle Of rose
water or orange. so excellently did she
prepare it herself-above all, she new

Count Andrassy and His Secretary

An interesting anecdote is current at
Vienna concerning the late Count An
Grassy and his secretary, Hebrew
named DOGGY. One day they were
driving together through the streets of
Pesth in a phaeton. Some Polish Jews
stared at them with more than ordi-
nary curiosity, wherenpon the secre-
tary remarked: 'Your Excellency i'm
AGNES, [ suppose, that the Jews are ad-
miring the prime minister, but / can
tell you they are not-they are admir-
ing me. They know that / am a poor
Jew, and the fact that am seated side
by side with Count Andrassy in his
phaeton is to them much
more astonishing miracle than
that the landlord of Ter
ebes is seated high up in the Kings
council-room." The Count laughed, and
urged that he too had made his way in
the worN we'll. and afterward at dinner
he asked the company assembled who
had made the greater career, he or his
secretary. He pleaded in his own favor
by reminding them of his exile and the
sore straits he was in then, but the Sec
rotary IN his turn described bis obscure
birth aud the extreme poverty OF his
student days, and related how his first
literary wages had been earned by writ
ing love-letter for cook. Everybody,
including Count Andrassy's family, took
the secretary's part, till the Count
played last trump, and, alluding to his
having been suspended in eff;gy from
the gallows in 1849, exclaimed: "You

A Strange Marriage Law.

The Times of India publishes the rules
which the, Bombay government, with
the assent Of the encouragement, has
drawn up for regulating the MARI iage
expenses of the Kadva Kanbi caste in
the district of Ahmedabad and Kaira.
Power to make these rules Is given I'M
der the act for the prevention OF male
infanticide. Some Of them are curious.
The chentlc, or present given at the be-
trothal by the brides father to the
brldegroom's father, is not TO exceed
one rupee and seven suparis and betel-
nuts. The marriage chentlo payable to
the bridegroom father may be one
rupee and shall not exceed 100 rupees.
The value Of the cocoanuts distributed
at the marriage procession is not to ex-
coed 10 rupees, and the same limit is
fixed on the value of the mosalu, or
present by the brides maternal rela-
ton. The payment at the ceremony
when the bridegroom touches with his
finger his mother-in-law's dress must
not 60 beyond two rupees. The num-
Der of dinner parties given by the
BRIDES family is not to be more than
five, and the number of guests at each
not more than twenty-five. The mar

Calling the EXIT as.

From the New York Evening Sun.
Two men, one young, and the other
past middle life, stood at the entrance
to the Fifth Avenue Hotel on Saturday
evening as the newshoys were calling
the extras.
at can't mean much to you," said the
elder to the young man, this calling an
extra, but In all these years since the
war never heard a boy on the street
call extra without queer jump

fancy, to many another old fell
low like myself. An extra meant
much to US then-a great battle-a de-
feat, perhaps, with thousands of slain,
and sorrow in thousands of homes-or a
sweeping victory that helped make the
sorrow lite easier to bear-the latest
news from the front-something at any
rate, for which the nation stood still and
waited.
with the first call for an extra
from the street, busy men rush. d hat
less and coatless out of office and shop
and store down to catch the first whis-

teams in the streets, even the horsecars
stood still until their passengers could
hear the news. Business was at COM

Reducing the Numb er Of His Wives

Sir George Bowen, the former gov

among the loyal Maori chiefs whom he
invited to meet the Duke of Edinburg
when the latter visited the colony, was
one of the original signers of the treaty
of Waitangi in 1910, who had ever since
been firm friend OF the English. One
of the Anglican bishops afterward said
to the governor: "Do you know, sir, the

Elegant Trifling at Dinner.

Paris Dispatch to the London Daily Telegraph.
Another innovation which involves a
good deal of elegant trifling at table has
been introduced into fashionable houses
in Paris during the progress o that
sometimes dreary part of the dinner
called dessert" This consists in the
practice Of placing on the table small re-
ceptacles in silver, rather bluntly called
marmites, or pots" The marmites
are carefully covered, and may contain
almonds. nuts, cakes, or any other tiny
kickshaws of the sort. The elegant
trifling comes in when the guests, brim-
full of mystery as to the contents of their
respective receptacles, go through q
process of exchange and barter--each
discovery being saluted with observa-
tons Of a more or less spiritual eharac-
ter. Polite badinage is The rule when a
guest has exchanged his well-flled mar
mite for comparatively empty one, or
received from a lair neighbor "pot"
replete with rare delicacies en- troc for
his own relatively valueless assortment
of sweets.
