NOTES FROM LONDON.

THE population of London is greater
bined.
NINETY THOUSAND COWS, it is calcu-
lated. have to be MIXED twice a day to
supply London alone.
THE first London directory was printed
in 1867 and contained sixty-fOur pages,
with the names of 1,790 persons and
firms.
LONDON affords for the the use of its
| five millions of inhabitants nineteen
| free public and twenty-five commercial
| bathing establishments.
FIVE pounds ten shillings sterling per
a small package of unapproachable tea
brought overland through Russia.
THE London vegetarian society re-
ports a membership of 541, but the
movement is said to have spread through
out England Europe and the colonies.
| THE "Needleworl1 guild" is one OF
the most useful organizations in Lon
don, BY its means thousands of gar.
ments are distributed to deserving per
sons during the year.
TIE plum of the late duke of Bed
fOrd's possessions in London was the
| Covent Garden market. Under an ole
charter the duke could levy tolls OF
every cart that approached within
quarter Of mile of the market, and hi.
revenue from this source amounted t
| $50, 600 wear.

THE WORLD OF TRADE.

Cocks combs and other parts of the
domestic fowl are imported from France
in glass and find favor among American
epicures.
A CARLOAD of maple sugar was re-
ceived at St. Joseph, Mo-, the other day
from Canada. 1t contained 20,410
pounds and was valued at 81, 4SO.45.
A TON Of contraband opium is stored
IN the custom house at Port Townsend,
Wash. 1t was seized from smugglers
who operated between that place and
Victoria, B. c. It's market value is
| $50, 600.
| A BOsToN wigmakcr says that the
| bulk of the hair used in this country for
| wigs and switches is imported from
France and Germany. The hair is less
brittle and lasts longer than the hair OF
| New England women.
A CONSIGNMENT Of tea to the United
| Kingdom Tea Co. of London cost SCI. 75
| a pound to the importer. The tea was
! grown on the Gallebodde estate in Cey-
! lon. The leaves are so small that they
do not look like leaves. They are
golden in color, though streaked with
dark brown. They look more like &
very fine quality of Virginia tobacco
ready for the pipe, than like tea.

FROM MANY LANDS.

In France there is a government tax
of two per cent. levied on all bets on
races.
THERE were eight hundred and thirty
six cremations in the capital of Japan
during the month of November.
BETTING on the rainfall has been car
ried on to such an extent in India that
the Bombay government has passed an
act forbidding it.
AT the census in 1881 the population
of British India was found to be 1861
755, 900, showing density of 222 per-
sons per square mile.
THE government Of Basic, Switzer~
| land, offers the inhabitants of that city
the choice between being cremated and
| being buried when they die.
| IN 1894 it viii be thousand years
since Hungary became an independent
government, and 1t is proposed to cele-
brate the anniversary with great pomp.
DURING the recent severe weather in
| England sea gulls were fed from the
windows of houses on the Marine pa
rade Wild fowl were found on the
| beach half frozen and nearly starved.
| WOMEN are excluded from the gale
ries of the japanese parliament be-
cause, as a japanese newspaper says
they might be moved by the debates
there to further political agitation in
the empire"
A WISE provision for escape from fire
is obligatory in all Russian hotels.
Every corridor must have a staircase at
each end, and, if of extra length, sew
eral others at stated intervals, or else
iron ladders must be placed outside the
hOuSe.

TAKEN BY SURPRIsE.
Announce ement of the Marriage of J. B. Ramsey and Miss Edna Cotton
 Month After its Occurrence.

For some time past the society young people of Forrest City have been on the qui vive in anticipation of the marriage of Mir. Jeff E. Ramsey to Miss Edna Cotton. The happy event was given out to take place on the evening of last Monday, November 30. On the forenoon of that day a ru- nor began to float around that the marriage ceremony had taken place at the brides home on the evening of November :. Our reporter began to investigate. Rev. MT. Kelley was seen, and averred that he had tied the nup- tial knot hard and fast on the date above mentioned, but. notwithstana ing his sympathy for the newspaper people, his pledge of secresy had sealed his lips and deprived THE TIMES Sf an item. The young people took the evening train on Monday evening for Memphis, where they became the guests of the grOom's parents. Tues day TIMES man saw the brides mother, and from her learned that all that had been said of the secret mar riage was true. For reasons perfectly satisfactory to the contracting parties and the bride's parents, and in which the public can have no concern, they decided to marry on \ oyember 7, and in the presence of Mrs. Gotten and Miss May Moseley the words which made them man and wife were spoken by Rev. MT. Kelley, pastor of the Methodist church.
 Of course our young people-frlendS of the bride and groom-were disap- pointed, as all had expected and de- sired the pleasure of witnessing the marriage ceremony, but those most in terested are satisfied and we suppose no one else should complain. Our re- porter is the only man in town who has real cause of grief. He refuses to be comforted The idea of such goings on right under his nose and he know noth ing about it The idea of three wo- men keeping such secret for twenty eight whole days is so out of the usual order of things that he is rattled
 The newly welded pair returned Tuesday morning, and for the present will make their home with the brides parents.
 TIE TINES, joining their host of friends, wishes them long. happy, prosperous life, free as human life can be from the heartaches, the sorrow and disappOiDtments which fall to the lot of most of us. God bless them both.

 WHEREAS. It has been the custom hereto fore of our county judge to grant oniysp spart of each account presented tO the county for medical service rendered by order of its oih- CTS and in some instances refuse to allow any thing; therefore be it
 Resolved. That this is unfair to ourselves. because he does not allow us just recoU- pense for our services; and. also to our pri- rate patrons. since it causes them to pay more for medical services than the county pays. Resolved. That in doing this the judge in- frinRes upon our rights and privileges, since he has no more right tO Velue our services than he hRs to price the merchants goods. Resolved. That since oLr charges to the county are the same as to private individuals and that to be paid in county script, we do hereby most respectfully ask. Judge Cofey to Eenccforth allow our claims in toto, and de- dret nothing therefTom.
