A Sumter county (Ga.) farmer, having
accumulated some property, decided
that he wanted to get married. He
went to Americas shortly afterward and
made known his desire to we'll known
merchant. The latter agreed to help
him all he could and named over several
good looking women whom he thought
would make good and faithful wives.
Among others he mentioned two buxom
and comeIy widows of the same name.
The matrimonially inclined farmer
decided that he wished to wed one of
the widows. His mercantile friend
agreed to do the negotiating, and short
ly afterward called upon certain lady
and informed her of the honor his bash
full friend wished to confer upon her.
The widow, knowing that the farmer
was blessed with pretty good share Of
this worlds goods, expressed, without
moments hesitation, her Willingness to
join her lot with his.
Preparations were at once made for
the wedding The day arrived and the
prospective groom procured marriage
license and started for the home Of the
future partner of his joys and sorrows.
Just here the funny part of the affair
came in.
The farmer had never seen either of
the two widows. Both bore the same
name and he got them mixed up in his
mind. The result was that he went to
the wrong house. When he found him
self alone with the lady he blurted out,
I've come to marry you."
After moments hesitation the widow
confessed that she didn't care if she did
''step off, with him. They accordingly
proceeded to preachers house, where
the twain were made one.
a few days afterward the newly mar
ried planter came to the city and went
to look for his friend. He was telling
him of his newly found happiness, when
the merchant suddenly exclaimed with
a groan:
'Merciful heavens, man! You mar
ried the wrong widowr
ooh, that don't make any difference"
was the reply. I'm very well pleased
with the wife I've got" Exchange.

Several citizens of Portland dozen
or SO years ago joined in Il trading voy-
age to the Sandwich islands on the SD
ward James. They loaded her with a
general cargo, consisting of lumber, live
stock, salt, salmon, hoop poles, dried
apples, hard cider and some live bears.
One of the parties had heard that cats
were in great demand at the islands and
determined to make small venture in
felines. He offered the boys twenty-five
cents each for all the cats they might
bring. Portland boys were the same
then as now, only more SO, if possible,
and the city was raided and cats cap
tured till there were over hundred
brought aboard. They were dumped
down the hatchway into the hold with
the bulls and the bears, and they cater
wauled, and the maids and madams who
who had been robbed of their favorite
tabbies wept and walled as the good
ship sailed from the shores of America.
When out on the raging deep a dread
full storm arose, and naturally the ship
was tossed about in fearful manner
The bears on the lower deck broke loose
and, amid horrible howlings, proceeded
to devour the bulls, which roared like
lions, and there was pandemonium
broken loose in the bowels Of the ship.
Captain O'Brien, well known here, went
down into the lower regions to shoot the
bears to save the cattle. The place was
dark, but in all directions CLEANED the
glaring, greenish, CLASSY eyes Of scared
and enraged cats. To make long story
short, a bear was killed, a lot of cats
thrown overheard and the vessel was
fifty-seven days in reaching Honolulu,
which place she should have reached in
seventeen. Oregonian.

"Now," said the lawyer, "just tell
us how your father told you to tes-

"Well," said the boy, modestly,
"father told me the lawyers would
try and tangle me in my testimony;
but if I would just be careful and tell
the truth, could tell the same thing
every time.''
The lawyer didn't try to tangle up
that boy any more.

The building of the Women's Chris
tan Temperance Union at the Worlds
Fair is superb edifice, thirteen sto
ries high, and the cost of the building
alone is 100000. Says one writer,
''Willard Hall, situated on the main
floor, will seat upward of six hundred
people. Here the incense of prayer
will daily ascend for the downfall of
intemperance and every form of vice,
for the establishment on earth of the
kingdom of righteousness. Women
are paying the bills by buying the
stock, and it is to be hoped they will
float the colossal scheme. AS finan-
ciers some have questioned their abil-
ity. So grand an idea as the edifice
suggests can not afford to be associat-
ed with mismanagemento of dollars.

TNTEMPERANCE IN CHINA.

The Russians are, of all nations, the
most addicted to drunkenness. re-
spect and like the Russians, who are
the most hospitable people on the
face of the earth-hospitable not be-
cause they wish to show it, but be-
cause it is their nature, and they are
perfectly sincere in it; for Russian
will willingly share his last morsel
with you and will be offended if you
" do not accept it.
But strong liquor is the weakness of
the lower classes, who will give their
last kopeck for drink of wodki (raw
i brandy. No matter whether he is
hungry or thirsty happy or miserable,
whether he feels cold or hot, if he goes
to funeral or a wedding, the first
thing he thinks of is a glass of wodki,
that being the cheapest drink he can
obtain.
The wodlzi the poorer classes drink
is not distilled, it is pure alcohol (when
/ say pure mean raw.
In Russia, besides Sundays, there is
a great number of holidays, which if
taken together with the Sundays, make
from 115 to 12O days in the year, so
that the laborer works only eight
months in the year and is drunk the
rest of the time; for Russian peas
ant will never call Sunday or a holiday
by its proper name if he be not bro't
home insensible.
The middle classes, although they
do not get insensibly drunk, also like
to feel the jolly state. The higher
classes and the aristocracy can afford
to drink the purest, dearest and So
called "best" drinks, such as old wine,
brandy and champagne, all of which
are as injurious as alcohol.
During the past year meetings have
been held to discuss the question of
intemperance among the lower class
es, but as yet no means have been
found to stop it, or in any way to pre-
vent it's increase. 1t has become
general opinion that it is the business
of the government. Alas, what mock
cry!
The clergy have undertaken this
difficult task, the government giving
no aid whatever. The priests are
something like the House of Commons
in England; they talk, argue and rea-
son, but do nothing. Have they tried
anything? No; they keep on talking
and wasting time land adjourning Gun
til another day." and the evil contin
ues.
The causes of intemperauce in Rus
sir are first, ignorance, and second,
the Indifference of the government to
the liquor traffic. Private institutions
ance, but in Russia the government is
the only body that can stop it.
The only way to prevent the spread
of intemperance in Russia is educa-
ton; Educate the child; let him read;
let him reason; give him a good ex-
ample, and instead of following the
example now set him he will see the
error of his parents way.
The Russian peasant is rough, ig-
norant fellow, but many noble heart
lies hidden under an unpromising ex-
terror, and if he could only be made
to understand his social and political
value, be taught to work not only with
his hands, but also with his head, he
would see the riches of his country;
and if the government aided but lit
tie to make him a man instead of
beast, as he is now, Russia would soon
become one of the richest countries
of the world, for there is, SO to speak,
crest.
