An Interesting Matrimonial Event.

In the Pennsylvania town Of South Both
lchem, n few evenings ago. the Snake Queen
was welded to the Human Knot. AS freaks
in tho dime museums. tho contracting par
ties have occupied somewhat higher and
more conspicuous positions than the gem
crafty of those about them. Without
knowing anything further concerning the
Queen or tho Knot, it is impossible
to think OF their union and not
at the same time feel that 1t is the
appropriate outcome of an easy and inter-
esting courtshp. What more natural than
that as first he saw the Queen tcnderly
manipulating tho entranccd ophidinns. no
should have said to himself that she was
charming: and that us in turn she saw
him in his interesting act she should have
exclaimed: Hes knotty. but he's nice!"
Thus he became her bea,-knot, and from
that timo there was n tied In her affairs
which naturally led to splice.
The married life of tho Snake Queen and
the Human Knot should be mutually help
fu in an unusual degree. She is peculiarly
fitted to be helpmate to him. If. inspired
by the plaudits OF the throng to attempt
unusual fcats, no should become tangled.
she would be at hand To unite him with the
same gentlcness with which she disengagrs
tho snakes that have knOtted themselves
about her fair person. Fate forbid. but
if ever he should be stricken with
tho KELLEY disease in its reptilian stage. he
would not have to send out OF the house for
snake charmer. II. ON the other hand.
she should fancy herself tired OF him. and
start to run away, he could tic himself in Il
stopper knot: and If this should fail to havo
the desired effect he could Indicate
his feelings with unique emphasis
by assuming the form of the we'll
known and useless d--n-fool's knot.
But it Is unnecessary to contemplate
such dark pictures. Doubtless this union
will provo to be no hulf-htch. but genuine
long-splice. as every well-considered mar
rage should be.
1t is understood that tho Human Knot
and tho Snake Queen will continue to he
seen on the museum stage. Their special
ties. and especially his special ties. are too
profitable to be abandoned.

IL is reported from Australia that tho
Government OF tho province OF Queensla
has determined to adopt policy under which
Immigration will be prohibited for m indel-
mite period OF time. There have recently boon
complaints In at least three Of tho Australian
provinces that hordes OF undesirable persons
were arriving there from various countries OF
Europe and that this immigration had turned
out to be highly disadvantageous to the inter-
ests OF the provinces. 1t IL doubtless in con-
sequence OF these complaints that the Queens
land Government has determined to put a stop
to immigration. The British Government has
acknowledged tho right OF Australia to exclude

The characterization OF Dutchess.

The steady progress Of Democratic prin-
ciples. both in Republican strongholds and
close counties. Is illustrated by the returns
OF the Just completed township elections
in Duchess county. In 1884 BLAINE
carried tho county by 1924 votes. The
next year even 30 weak candidate
~ IRA DAvENPoRT received plural
ity OF 2Ol as against DAVID B. HILL
for Governor. In 1886 tho Republican plu-
rality for Judge Of the Court OF Appeals
rose to 1901. In 1887. for Secretary OF State.
the Republicans had 676 plurality. In 1883
HARRISON got 1.ol6 plurality for President.
and MILLER 1000 over Hill for Governor
In 1889 the Republican plurality for Score
tary OF State was 1887. In 1880 tho voting
was for Congressman: there was no Demo-
crat In the field. and KErcHAM, Republican.
was elected by 9.o46 plurality. Last year.
under the magnificent organization effected
and lcd by Governor HILL. the Democrats
carried Duchess for FLOWER by the small
plurality OF rs. there being 70 blank and do
fectlve votes.
This year. although by an uncommon OK
penditure Of cash. and by sacrificing overy-
thing for Supervisors, the Duchess Repub-
Leans have succeeded in securing a ma
tority OF the Board. the Democrats hare q
majority Il, the county on the popular rote.
Our Poughkecpsie correspondents analysis
OF the returns shows that change Of six
votes here and there in the county would
have given the Democrats six more Super
visors than they now have; while q change
OF only thirty-three votes in the whole
county would have made the Board Demo-
cratic. Outside OF the Supervisors. a ma
tority Of the town officers elected last week
are Democrats.
The result in Duchess is particularly in
teresting. because that is the county to
which some OF our Republican contem-
poraries have been looking and pointing
for what they term " tremendous popu-
lar rebuke OF HILL and HILL methods"
Tho tremendous popular rebuko takes shape
in tho form of great gain for the party Of
Democratic principles and honest govern
ment. and another long step toward the
not distant day when this old Republican
county shall be sure for the Democracy.

The proposed Chi cago steal from the

gress In the shape OF a bill appropriating

cally begun and given pledge to carry for

sum of money just about equal to the total
civil and miscellaneous expenditures OF the
United States Government In l942. fifty
years ago!
The people OF the United States have
pledged themselves. have they. to throw

Chicago was asking for tho privilege OF hold
Ing Worlds Fair to which the United
Statos Government should lend its counte-
nance. but not its cash.
1--WE will ask no money from Congress"
said Chicago through the Hon. WILLIAM N.
SPRINGER, except what will be required
for the buildings and exhibits Of the Gov
eminent"
It seems to US that this Is the pledge

to learn all about American humor: "A

man assented, only stipulating that there
