RUSSIAN GIRL 8.
Nearly All of Them Marry Young without
Gong Engagements.

Nearly All of Them Marry Young without
Gong Engagements.
The daughter is q great pet in Rus
sian families, perhaps because there are
generally more sons than daughters.
Take the younger members of the i'm
perial family as an example, and we find
twenty-five grand dukes and only seven
grand duchesses; and this may be stated
to be about the average proportion In
most families. The necessity for men in
the rural districts as assistants i'm the
agricultural labors of their fathers has
given rise to saying, lone son Is no
son; two sons are. half son, but three
arc whole SON.
Notwithstanding the pride and salts
faction with which the birth of boy is
hailed, the little girl is the darling, the
object of the tenderest affection and care
of parents and brothers, not speaking of
other adoring relatives. Much is not
expected OF her in the way OF assistance
in the family, she is INDUCED as far "a
their means and circumstances permit,
and she takes it quietly and as her due,
but it is rarely that she does not volun-
tarily and tacitly contribute her share in
helping her mother. Her occupations
are much about the same as those of all
European girls, but parish work in Rus
STA existeth not for her. She can not
have classes at Sunday schools, as relig-
ion is taught by priests or deacons.
1t would be thought quite extraordi-
nary and improper were young unmar-
ried girl to visit the sick or poor In towns,
but in villages 1t is sometimes done under
the direction of mamma or grandmammas
Sba is Iludouhtadlu fond af Moo curac
likes to be we'll dressed, and generally
adores dancing. Music is not the Rus
sian girls forte, nor is solo singing.
Most of the instit6tkas, though they
thoroughly understand the theory of
music, play like child of IL. OF course
there are exceptions; but it is seldom
you find girl able to play quadrille
or polka off-hand.
Girls marry very young in Russia, and
there are very few of those most esti-
mable individuals called old maids.
There are no colonies for the Russians
to run away to, and statistics show that
the births of boys much exceed those of
girls.
Long engagements are not approved
of; they seldom last longer than few
months, during which time the fiancee is
the mistress of the house. Her girl friends
assemble to help sew the dowry, the
sewing afternoon generally ending in a
dance after tea, when the bridegroom
drops In with few bachelor friends.
Another wedding is thus often arranged,
and so on, little by little, till, like the
fifty-one cards in the game of sold
maid" they pair off, and one, generally
of the sterner sex, is left-forlorn.

REPUBLICAN JUDGES.

An Opinion That President Harrison Will
Not Feel Called Upon To Appoint Any
Others.
''There has been great deal Of gos-
sip about the new United States judges
to be appointed" said friend of Attor-
ney-General Miller, who is urging the
appointment of Representative Payson,
land the most extraordinary claims are
set forth as to the advisability of ap-
pointing one or more democrats. So far
as know it has always been the custom
In this country for United States judges
to be selected from the party in power.
No president, so far as know-certainly
not since Monroe-has appointed judges
from the opposition; and in spite of all
that one hears these days of the advisa-
bility of making non-political APP
pointments for the bench the APP
pointments are really from the
nature and Importance of the
duties performed just as political as any
that can be made. do not mean by this
that persons should be appointed who
have so little character that they can be
relied upon to decide the semi-political
questions that come before the courts in
this or that way. Far from IT.; such ap-
pointments would be disgraceful and
do not believe any such will be made by
President Harrison. What / mean is
that persons ought to be, and / believe
will be, appointed who have the repub-
lican idea, as contrasted with the demo
cratic idea, touching the powers and
functions of the several branches of the
United States government and state gov
ernments. No, l do not thing Judge
Culbertson or any other democrat will be
appointed judge by President Harrison.
certainly not with the concurrence of
Attorney-General Miller"

there may be some foundation
for 1t. To-day Judge Morris in
structed the grand jury to make a

Saturday. The records In the registra-

teresting political problems of the coun-
try. Here In the east, where the indus

Its progress is not appreciated, and the

In the west, the purely agricultural sec
ton, 1t has taken deep hold on the pub

watched by our deepest thinkers and
practical economists. These farmers
have concluded that there are wrongs
existing that need adjustment. The

strong undercurrent Of reason that will
ultimately land 1t on solid foundation
which will defy all the efforts of political
agitators to shake.
81 think it may be compared to the
feeling of republication which swept
over the country from 1856 to 1860. This
result might be more quickly reached
could the west and south find common
ground ON which to stand. The east
and north have recognized this all
along and have very adroitly prevented
any coalition. The sections are, how
ever becoming apathetic alike to APP
peals and menaces, and when one dies
out and the other is allayed we may
look for coalition that will produce
tangible results. The existing political
parties, however, may by their platforms
and candidates nominated make such
concessions to the alliance as to cause
the members to return TO their respec-
tive folds with the belief that the evils
that they seek to redress will be re-
formed to their households"

Discourtesy Didn't Pay.

Courtesy generally pays large returns
and the lack of it often entails serious
loss. The will of Jonathan Scoville,
recently deceased, beqaeaths $Sss5 5 6666 to
the Buffalo Academy Of Fine Arts, but a
codicil revokes the bequest. Last Janu-
airy Mr.. Scoville sent to the academy q
present of several handsome pieces of
statuary which was not acknowledged.
He waited a month, and then, angered
at the silence of the academy officials,
made the codicil. In this case a letter
of thanks would have been a valuable
letter of credit.

OTHER WASHINGTON NOTES.
A Familiar Figure Removed by Death

A Familiar Figure Removed by Death.
Death has removed familiar figure
from the treasury department in the
person of J. T. Hall of Ohio dwarf,
who has served in the stationery division
for twenty-eight years. Mr.. Hall was
81 years old, and so diminutive that he
was not above the stature of an ordinary
boy of or 6 years of age. He was APP
pointed under the administration of Sec
retary Chase, who met him on train
coming east. and finding him unusually
bright and intelligent, offered him en-
ployment.
The little fellow was an expert at
figures, and earned salary of 81, 400 a
year, out of which he was able to save
enough to buy some property and main
tain horse carriage. Halls bones
were of such peculiar composition that
they broke on the slightest provocation.
1t is stated that he sustained twenty
seven different fractures during his life.
Six weeks ago he broke his leg, which
rapidly knit together, but his stomach
failed him, and this was the cause of his
death. When he was lad OF IA he had
a severe fever which stopped his growth.
His head was fully developed. He was
quiet and very witty, having bright,
pleasant word for his acQuaintances at all
times.

are employed in this industry 216,765
men, 1884 women and 14,S74 caildren,
aided by rs, 866 horses and mules. and
SIS, OIL 900 worth of implements. Nearly
rs per cent. of the truck produced In the
United States comes from the belt of
counties along the Atlantic coast, from
southern Georgia and Alabama, along
the north and south lines Of railroad on
the Mississippi valley, from the gulf to
Chicago, and from the celery district OF
Michigan and Ohio.
Democrats and the Tariff.
Senator German is credited with the
statement that the democratic policy in
the next congress touching the tariff
would be to offer no general bill, like the
Mills bill, for instance, but to pass sepa-

sentatiyes reducing the duties on certain
articles, or putting certain other articles
on the free list, some of which reductions
and repeats of duty could be carried In
the senate. The idea Is to secure such
reductions as can be passed through the
senate and not go to the country on q
tariff bill, at least until attempt shall
have been made to reduce or repeal
duties on certain articles Of general con-
sumption.

says the outbreak and lynching was
what he expected. Two weeks ago Mr..
Pinkerton was in New Orleans, and he
received assurance from over 100 of the
most prominent citizens that, if the cow
ardly murder was left unavenged by the
jury, the Italians would surely meet
their fate at the hands of an angry pop
ulace. Mr.. Pinkerton was present dur
ing the impaneling of the jury, and as
serts that $50 of the talesmen summoned
were in the power of O'Malley and men
who would not stop at anything to re-
lease the prisoners. The prosecution
was aware of this at the commencement
of the trial, but was powerless. Mr..
Pinkerton would not say how many OF
O'Malley's friends succeeded In getting
on the jury.
