MISSOURI PRESS ASSOCIATION.

An Interesting Meeting Held At Columbia.
The winter meeting OF the Missouri
Press association. held in the elegant
new office of Hon. E. w. Stephens,
of the Columbia Herald, on Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday,
March 18th, 10th and 18th, al
though not largely attended, was
one OF the most interesting and
thorougly practical meetings OF the
association we have ever attended,
and every one present no doubt
left the meeting telling that they
had obtained much valuable infor-
nation as to how to conduct and
successfully manage their paper.
The hospitalities of the Herald clan
and the good people OF Columbia
generally were unbounded. and each
citizen seemed Co vie with the other
in making the stay OF the editors
pleasant. On Wednesday night all
who wished to attend the theatre
witnessed the Ray l.. Royce combi-
nation at Hayden opera house. On
Thursday night a musicale and liter
ary entertainment was given at the
same opera house by the students
of the university and ofStephens and
Christian colleges in especial honor
OF the editors, which proved to be a
most delightful affair. Among
those of the university students
who took part was Jesse Myer,
of Salisbury, who acquitted himself
most admirably IN the delivery of a
defamation. Friday afternoon the
press paupers were treated to ride
over the city in carriages. after
which they paid a visit to the state
university, where they were treated
with great consideration by the
accomplished and gentlemaply
president, Prof. X. III. Jesse, and
other members OF the faculty. The
improvements that are being made
at the university will make it one OF
the grandest institutions of it's kind
in this country and will be a source
OF lasting pride to every citizen OF
Missouri. On Friday night the
members OF the press gang we're given
a royal banquet at the Herald office
by Mr.. Z. w. stephens, which was
one of the most heartily enjoyable
affairs OF the kind we ever attended.
After supper, m any pleasantries were
INDUCED in the way of toasts which
greatly aided to digest the feast of
good things that had been spread
for supper. A special train had
been arranged for to leave Colum-
bia at IL O'Clock Friday night on
which the quill drivers took their
departure, and arrived at home in
time to hustle to Fay OF the office
hands ON Saturday ni0ht.

German weddings are conducted on
an entirely different plan from Amer
lean ones. In the first place, an engage
ment is not considered binding until aft
or It has been announced in the papers.
Then the fianoes uevote a day to driv-
ing about among their acquaintances.
Cards are sent to all the out of town
friends Of the families. Both fiances
wear rings on their left hands, and after
marriage on the right. The bride pro
vides all the linen, glass and furniture,
except the appointments for her hus-
bands Office or study.
The wedding ceremony is a double af-
fair. the civil contract taking place in
the registry Office early in the morning
and the religious one several hours later
in church. AT the early ceremony the
bride wears black, but at the later one
she is adorned with all customary bridal
finery. There are rarely any brides
maids. The bride and bridegroom enter
the church together, and the guests all
wear full evening dress. A wedding
breakfast follows the ceremony, but wed.
ding cake is an unknown delicacy.-New

"W3 ter, water everywhere, nor any
drop drink" Few people beside sail
ors CO N appre late the terrible import Of
theS simple words. A correspondent
wrT yes that on a short whaling, or, as
say lors say, plum pudding voyage" ("
W hioh he once made IN tho brig Arnol-
ia Of Nantucket, Shubael Higgins, mas
! ter, they ran short Of water, aud at last
the captain decided to put into Goree,
on the west coast of Africa. AS they
neared the Cape de Verde islands, how
ever, and got into what are known TO
sailors as the horse latitudes, the wind
fell calm, and the vessel drifted idly on
/ the water.
As day after day passed with no signs
of wind, Captain Higgins became impa-
/ tient. The surface Of the ocean was rs
smooth as a mirror, and as the long,
heavy swells came from the regions Of
the trade winds, the vessel rolled and
tossed about like a cork upon the water.
We furled the square sails to prevent
their being worn outin slamming against
the mast. The staysails were all set and
the sheets hauled taut, which eased her
somewhat in her rolling.
By this time the water had run so
short that the captain felt obliged to
adopt some plan to avoid all unnecessary
drinking,
Calling me to his side, he said, boy,
bring me a new tin dipper from the slop
chest"
did so. Then the captain had all
hands called aft.
"Men," he said, 81 have always dread
ed to put my crew on short allowance,
but the time has come when something
must be done to save what little water
we have left"
With that he took piece Of spun yarn
from his pocket, and tied it to the handle
of the dipper. Then turning to me, he
said, Take this to the masthead and tie
it there"
'Now,' said he, addressing the men,
''you can have all the water you want to
drink, but you must first go to the top of
the mast and get the dipper, and after
drinking all you need you must carry
the dipper back and tie it to the mast
again. Under no conditions will one Of
you pass the dipper to another. Every
man must get the dipper for himself In
case of sickness, Twill send the boy aloft
for the sick man. This rule will apply
to all on board, myself included"
At first we regarded the matter as a
joke on the captains part, but as the
days wore on and each Of us made his
trip aloft after the dipper the novelty
wore off, We soon found, however, that
the captains plan for saving water was
a very effectual zone. The ships scuttle
butt, which formerly we had been
obliged to replenish from the casks every
other day, would now run a week with
out rehlling.
We weredbecalmed just go days. Then
the trade wind set in, and we proceeded
to Goree and refilled our casks. But the
memory of the trips 1 made aloft after
that dipper and the spirit in which Cap
tain Higgins performed his part of the
contract, left an impression on my mind
which remains to this day.-Youth's
