Authorizations, in which it is stated
that, "quite apart from any question

MATTE ELIZABETH MITCHELL,
daughter of Senator Mitchell, Of
Oregon, is finally duchess, having
been married twice in two days,
with a profusion of ceremonies, to
Duke de la Rochefoucauld. The
Duke has altogether the better of the
bargain, as the wealth of the bride is
tangible, whereas his titles are pure
pretense and have no legal recogni-
tion. The presents were numerous
and costly to the brides parents.
Minister Reid attended all the we'd
dings, giving away, or rather trans
ferring the bride, and assisting in
every way to give the titular-flnan-
cial affair an appropriate advertise
ment The weddings were exceed
ingly private, invitations having
been studiously confined to a few
persons with long pedigrees and a
sufficient number of reporters to ex-
ploit the pedigrees in the newspapers.

HUMANITY, it appears, is in serious
danger from one of those trivial
causes which are scarcely to be de-
tected at first sight, but have some
times changed the fate of nations.
One-half the woes from which men
suffer would disappear If they would

his antipathy to the collar button by

the recent cold mornings, while ar

pertinent in leaving buttons aside.

THREE GREAT RIOTS.

Fortunately within the memory of
persons now living there have been no
more than three great riots in this
country The first was the draft riot
in New York city, which began July
Is. 1868, and lasted three days. The
second was that of 1877, in Pittsburg,
beginning in strike OF railroad employ
ees. The third is that at Homestead,
Pa, A peculiar fact about these riots
is that they all occurred in the month
of July. The Paris Bastile was also
captured and sacked by mob July
IA, 1889.
Men who have never seen riot
know nothing of it.
Men who simply read of the scenes
Of borrow in Pennsylvania don't APP
preciate the hither verge of the terror
that exists there. Men who havenever
faced a mob can have no idea of what
that situation means. Human nature
is transformed into that of beasts. The.
milk Of human nature is curdled and
turned to gall; honesty of purpose be-
comes bloody instinct; ferocity, bes

CARELESS of race, sex or condition.
Nothing under heaven but the strong
arm of determined law can stop it,
and the time to end it is in the begin
ming.
What may seem cruelty is kindness.
What may seem measures of harsh
ness are the best possible policy.

creants; every violator should be
