How her heart futtered as she hur-

"We have got your husband here"

Her quick, intuitive nature grasped
the whole truth in a moment and she
placed her hands across her breast as
if to stay her sinking heart. But she
did not shrek or bother the dark,
solemn figures at the bottom of the
stairs with a grief they could not com
prehend. She only said, Bring him

REORGANIZATION.

Years ago an old hard shell preacher,
who lived on the border in the days
when the Indians we're at war with the
whites, was making preparations one
morning to go to his church, miles
away through a country infested with
savages. He was carefully loading his
fintIock rife to take along when a
friend present Remarked:
What are you going to take that
gun along for, old man9 Don't you
know that if it is foreordained for the
Indians to kill you the gun won't save
youG"
That's very true" said the old man
as he deliberately rammed the ball
home, but suppose it is foreordained
that the Indian shall be killed. Now
how would the good Lord carry out
his purpose if I didn't have my gun
alongG" That closed the debate

Mr.. CARLISLE AND THE SUGAR
TRUST.

We observe that one or two of our
exchanges have fallen into the error of
asserting that the Times has charged
Secretary Carlisle with being lin col
fusion with the H4vemeyers and with
obtaining ''direct from the managers
of the Trust" the information about
the sugar duties which he has so freely
given out.
The Times has made no charges
against Secretary Carlisle. 1t has set
forth certain facts about his conduct.
1t has stated, and here ~reasserts, IN
perfectly trustworthy evidence, that
he paid a visit of some duration to the
principal Offices of the Sugar Trust In
this city on the 3Oth of March last. IL
has printed the sugar schedule drawn
up by him giving the Trust the benefit
of 45 per cent. ad valorem on refined
sugar against 40 per cent. on the raw
article: it has republished his extra
ordinary letter to Senator Harris adj
vising that the separate bill putting
sugar on the free list be not passed,
and this morning. it prints once more
the interview given out by the Score
tary on April 80, in which he made the
dangerously misleading statement that
the difference between the ad valorem
rates on sugar which it was then pro-
posed to insert in the bill and the
specific rates reported by the Senate
committee sis go small as to be Of no
material consequence whatever"
We have no knowledge that Mr..
Carlisle has been in collision with the
Havemeyers. We do not know that
he visited the Office in which the Have
meyers carry on the business of the
Sugar Trust. That we insist, was q
grave improperly, a serious official
and oliticalindiscretion. Every Demo
cratic candidate for Congress, every
Democratic campaign speaker or
writer, will meet this disagreeable
fact somehow this fall. 1t cannot be
defended, it cannot be denied. John
g. Carlisle himself will not deny il. A
wave of the hand and a muttered ex-
clamation about malicious lies do
not constitute a denial.
We bear no malice against the Secre-
tary. But we must confess our conf
dence in his judgement and in the
value Of his counsels in the Democratic
party has been pretty nearly destroyed
by his behavior, here and in Washing
ton in respect TO the Sugar Trust

PATRIOTIC.

A British soldier was recently con-
Quoting a party from the United States
over the citadel at Quebec. One of
the party was a small maid of nine and
an earnest little patriot.
Here" said the soldier triumphant
ly, as they stood before two worn brass
canaons, "here are the guns we took
from your people at Bunker Hill" For
a moment the Child was silent, then
she replied: "Como home with me
and I'll show you a whole country we
took from your people about the same
time"

A MINISTER.
How the Marriage Ceremony of the
Friends is Performed.

Friends is Performed.
In accordance with the peculiar SER
vice of the Friends, says the Richmond
Dispatch of the 4th, Mr.. John B. Hes
ton, of Philadelphia, and Miss Sara w.
Crenshaw of this city, were united in
marriage at the residence of the brides
mother, No. 800 West Marshall street,
at 10 o'clock yesterday morning. The
wedding took place, as is the require
ment of the society, in the regular
meeting of the Friends. The day and
hour were those of the regular monthly
meeting, which was designated to take
place at the home of the bride, instead
of at the meeting house. About fifty
members of the society and close rela-
tive were present. This was the first
marriage according to this ritual that
has taken place in Richmond in the
past twenty years. 1t is due to be
stated, however, that the society is
small here, and that weddings among
its adherents r rare occurrences.
The Friends claim that they do not
marry people, but simply witness their
marriages, which they themselves per
feet. According to the customs of the
society, those proposing matrimony
are required to hand in their ''inten-
tions" at a business meeting of the
Friends at least n month before the
wedding is to take place. This meet,
ing appoints a committee to inquire
into the propriety of the match, and
to report back, If the report ia favor
able, there being a clearness to mar
riage on the part OF both the man and
the woman, the nuptials occur at a
public meeting of the society. The
parents or guardians of the young lady
must give consent to the match, and
another popularity of marriage among
the members of the society is that the
ceremony shall always take place dur
ing the day time.
AS a rule, when all the preliminaries
have been arranged, the parties repair
to the residence of the brides father,
where the marriage takes place. The
bride and groom enter and occupy seats
in the centre of the parlor, or in full
view of the witnesses. After a short
season of silence the bride and groom,
with their attendants, arise and the
groom, in an audible voice, repeats the
VOW prescribed by the decipline, which
is as follows: I'm the presence Of the
Lord and this assembly l take - to
be my wife, promising wi h divine as
sistance, to be unto her d loving and
faithful husband until death shall sep
arate u.s." The bride then repeats the
same vow, except to use her husbands
name in the place of her own, and to
promise to be "a loving and faithful
wife" They are then presented with
the marriage certificate, which both
sign, the wife appending her new name,
Then the witnesses who desire SO to do
afix their signatures to the certificate
as witnesses. This ceremony was car
ried out to The letter yes ,erday.

AN INExcUsABLE BLUNDER.
No New Baptism Will Answer for the
Famous Spot.

An inexcusable blunder of official
over zeal has been perpetrated by the
Post Office Department in its otherwise
highly commendable endeavor to r
form the mixed Technology Of the
post Office stations of the country. The
proposed transformation OF Appomat-
tox court house into Surrender" could
never be accepted by the American
people at large. No new baptism can
be given to that famous spot where
Lee made his last stand, and where the
Union was given a new birth. To the
veteran in Blue and the veteran In
Gray alike the name of Appomattox
will always be a cherished memory
and an inspiration. Most unhappy,
indeed, would be the re-christening of
Surrender" It anything, Appomat-
tox should be entitled Victory" IL
was a victory for both North and
South, for the valor of Lee and the
magnanimity of Grant-a great vic
tory for American manhood and for

HOW M DO A
The Daughter Reads one of Her Mothers
Love Letters.

Love ISCCSESs
A certain girl in Cabarrus found q
package of love letters written to her
mother by her father before they were
married, says the Concord Standard.
The daughter saw that she could have
a little sport, and read them to her
mother, pretending they were of late
date, and substituting her name for
that of her mother, and that of a fine
young man for that of her father.
The mother jumped up and down in
her chair, shifting her feet and seemed
terribly Disguised and forbade her
daughter having anything to do with
the young man who would write such
sickening n~onsensical stuff to a girl.
When the young lady handed, the let
ters to her mother to read the house
became so still that one could hear the
grass growing in the back yard.
