DIVORCE IN eURMAA
Al Original and Exhaustive Method OF
Settling Family Troubles.

Al Original and Exhaustive Method of
Settling Family Troubles.
In Burnah. as in civilized Europe,
suspicion often distrrbs the family circle,
but instead of filling lawyers pockets
and giving society papers highly speed
paragraphs the following etfectual mode
of divorce procedure is adopted: The
family relatives on both sides are called
Uneven distant cousins living a long
way of-and many are lifelong Journeys
made in jolting bullock carts, and many
the animated discussions by the cigar
putting circle of relatives squatted cere~
moniously ON the bamboo matted floors
If an amicable settlement a be OBJ
tanned thus-and very difficult 1t Is to
smooth down the quarrels, as rule, for
the Burmese are a spirited race-the eld-
ers " patriarChs of the village or dis
trict are called in, and after the circum-
stances are expl lined arbitrator are ap-
pointed from among them, who proceed
as follows: Two candles-wax if posi-
bic, but generally rushlights-are select
cd of equal length and thickness, and be-
ing simultaneously lighted are placed on
the table if the establishment boasts OF
one; If not, on the floor.
This is done with the greatest gravity,
care being taken that neither party has
II advantage over the other in the
shape Of drafts through the doors and
crannies, and that all present are seated
at sufficient distance to prevent their
breathing from affecting the fame. The
gradual burning down of the flames is
then watched with breathless and sol
emn silence, which eliminates as n or
the other Of these slowly burns down and
splutters out its lifein the waters OF the
basin in which it is fixed.
A deep ''Ah! a gutteral sigh of relief.
greets this termination, and if it be the
husbands candle that burns out first he
and his relatives walk slowly out OF
doors, solemnly and silently, leaving his
better half in possession of the goods AMI
chattels contained therein. If the wife's
candle expires first, she and hers do like
wise. and with a small present to the
judges and umpires the divorce is com
pleted.-Chicago Herald.

TARIFF REFORN(?l.

The confidence of the people IL the
honesty End good faith of tie Demo
cratic, which experienced such rude
and disappointing shock by the party's
action on the silver question, is likely
to receive even more stunning blow
as the tariff question is approached.
Indeed, it seems that the discord and
lack of harmony within party ranks
which characterized the silver fight
is likely to be repeated and emphasiz-
ed on the tariff and that the party will
have regular monkey and parrot
mess of il before the tariff reform farce
is ended.
a late Washington dispatch says 1t
appears that the chief embarrassment
of the ways and means committee is to
come not from the articles upon which
the specific advalorem duties are to be
reduced, but from the articles that are
to be put on the free list. 1t has been
generally accepted up to quite recent
~ lldl tuc DtluOCl dilS pditg Nho UNIV
ed OH the proposition of putting coal,
wool, iron, salt and lumber on the free
list, but the latest developments have
indicated that this is not the case. Mr..
Culberson and other members have al
ready sounded their opposition to free
wool and they are likely to receive sub
stantial encouragement from Ohio
members and the representatives of the
grazing States of the West. Several of
the Alabama representatives are pro-
testing against the proposition to place
ironiore and coal on the free list. The
extensive timber States, both of the
South and West, are almost in unit
in opposing the lumber proposition.
Altogether the lot of Mr.. Wilson and
his colleagues of the ways and means
committee is not a happy one. With a
score or more of influential gentlemen
demanding a caucus for the considera-
ton of the tariff bill and various 9th
ers declaring that they will not vote
for the measure if it makes the drastic
reductions on the articles in which
their constituents are interested, the
difficulty of securing Democratic har-
mony on the measure now being evolv-
ed by the ways and means committee
is every day becoming more and more
apparent.

TARIFF REFORM IN HOMEOPATHIC
DOSES.

We should not be frank if we did not
say that it the Democratic party is
also embarrassed by reason of the pro-
tectionists in it's own ranks. The North
ern and Eastern Democrats are very
weak on tariff reform, and they will
oppose anything like radical legislation
on this subject or anything that inter
feres very seriously with their own
plundering privileges. 1t remains to
be seen just how strong this element
is, but it is probably strong enough to
make the next tariff bill seem very
mild and conservative to the enthusi-
astic free traders.-Memphis CONNER
ci0i
Here we have more of that post cleo
ton Democratic candor which the peo-
pie who were deceived into voting the
Democratic ticket last fall on the spe-
cious plea of tariff reform, should make
a note of. Their own plundering priv
ileges," as applied to the Northern and
Eastern allies, and Every mild and con-
servative" tariff reform were terms not
whispered when the people were being
b umbugged by the party leaders and
press in last years campaign.

The Great Nickel Plate Show.

The Houston (Texas) Daily Press of
Wednesday, Oct. 18th, 1893, in long
and interesting notice, says:
. Ten thousand people cheered as hey
never did before at W. H. Harris Nick
ell Plate Show last night. The great
white tent with its four center polls
was packed to suffocation, and still the
crowd besieged the ticket wagon, which
was ordered closed at a quarter to
eight. The surprising merit of the
Nickel Plate Show was fully known
here and all Houston was anxious to
pay homage to management that has
created such a stir throughout the
country. Those who were fortunate
enough to gain admittance were abund-
antly rewarded. Blase show goers were
dumfounded to find that it is still pos
sible to present entirely new and thrill
ing circus acts. The performing Ele-
plant and Lions and Tigers are alone
worth the price of admission, besides
the perilous and acrobatic feats and
educated horses, ponies and mules.
The Nickel Plate has scored an unmis-
taxable triumph; never before has a
tented establishment given such thor
ough satisfaction in this city and for
the first time has one religiOusly full
filled all it's promises. The signs of
the times point to overlooking business
here for the balance of its engagement
to-day and tomorrow at Texas avenue
and Broadway.
