PURITAN MARRIAGE CUSTOMS.
Startling Bible Texts Sometimes Selected
For the Wedding Sermon.

A marriage in church was rare, writes
Alice Morse Earle in The Ladies' Home
Journal, i'll an article on ''Courtship
and Mar iage In Puritan Days" Occa-
sionally one took rlace in the new homo
of the young couple. This was held to
be somewhat unlucky. Thanksgiving
day was a favorite time TO choose TO be
married, as friends were then gathered
from affair."
The bride was universally advised to
wear
Something old. something new.
Something borrowed. something blue,
and though she could dress before a
mirror she must not look in the glass
when once her toilet was completed,
else i'll luck, in vaguely defined but
positive form, were the result. Sunday
was really the exhibition day for the
bride. Indeed she found at meeting the
sole place i'll which she could appear be-
fore an assembled public, and for this
exhibition the happy pair donned their
finest briGal attire. The bride and groom
and bridal party opened the show by
proudly walking in a little procession

ing house on the Sabbath following the
marriage.
In Larned's History of Windham
County, Conn.," we read a description
of such an amusing scene in Brooklyn,
Conn. Further public notice was drawn
to the bri @ by allowing her to choose
the text i1r the =ermon preached ON the
first Sunday of the coming out of the
newly married couple. Much ingenuity
was exercised in finding appropriate and
sometimes startling Bible texts for these
wedding sermons.
The i,ls tances are we'll known Of the
marriage CT Parson Smiths two daugh-
tors, one of whom selected the text,
Mary hath chosen that good part,
while the daughter Abby. who married
John Adams, decided upon the text,

COURT MARSHAL OF oo1r.
Witnesses for the Prosecution Reiter-
ate the Story That He Was Drunk.

Columbus, o., Dec. 4-The Col Colt
court of inquiry resumed the investigation
Of the Washington Court House riot to-
day.
The first witness, Isaac Glanzee of
Washington Court House, testified that he
saw Col. Colt take a drink of whisky in
Casey's but did not see him when he
thought he was drunk.
Regimental Surgeon H. NJ. Taylor said
he was with Col Colt all the time on the
day preceding the rioting, and he did not
drink anything intoxicating.
All of to-day's witnesses were sum
moned by the prosecution, except Sur
geon H. NJ. Taylor.
The evidence was severe against Col
Colt, but was materially weakened by
the feeling against the colonel that the
witnesses showed on the stand.
Summarized, their testimony was to the
effect that Col. Colt and many of his
soldiers were drunk on the day of the
riot, and that they drank in the saloons
and drug stores and from their private
bottles.
A sensation was caused by the attor-
neys for the prosecution of Col Colt at
the session to-day calling George w
Sinks, well-known Columbus banker to
the stand The first question was: did
you not have Col. Colt at your house for
some time under treatment for insanity
about two years ago."
Not that l know Of" answered the
surprised witness, but Col. Bunker, presi-
dent Of the court, at once ruled that no
question bearing upon the sanity of Col
Colt would be permitted, as it was not
the subject of inquiry.
