CROSSED IN LOVE.
1t Does Not Always Explain Why One
Is Unmarried.

Probably nothing more wholly, more
exclusively concerns the persons enter
ing into it than their marriage. And
yet, as a rule, all their associates and
most of their acquaintance seem to
feel as much interest in them as them
selves, and talk far more about it..
Their knowledge of the engagement
and how it was brought ABOUT, with
every minor detail, appears very much
greater than the knowledge of the
couple Immediately involved.
The fact is that marriage, generally
and particularly, is a subject of ex-
trenre interest to young people every
where, especially to young women, and
in all ranks of society. 1t IS not
strange. therefore, that it should fur
nish endless gossip and criticism,
though these may be excessive, and
often nischevious. Many mortals may
be in no wise attractive, but when they
are on the eve of marriage they become
attractive by that circumstance alone.
The regard, the reverence felt for wed
lock rs a proof of civilization. Every
truly enlightened person believes in 1t
as an institution, as essential to the
well-being of the state, whether he ac-
cepts or declines it on his own account.
The opinion in America is SO over
whelmingly in it's favor that there is
apt to be a prejudice, in minor towns
especially, against any man who perse-
veres in bachelorhood, says Harper S
Bazaar He is generally believed to have
neglected one of his plainest duties, and
to be responsible in some way to- the
public for his neglect. But under this
belief shoulders a half-formed convic-
ton, notably among women, that he IS
not directly answerable for his celibaey.
Indeed, the sentimental world Is SO
entirely promatrimonial as to hold that
the unwedded have been unlucky in
their wooing. They have been disap-
pointed in their suit, or, as the common
phrase is, have been crossed in love.
It is always wondering why this man
Or that womaul-uniess there are visible
reasons for it-are not married; and
after a certain amount of wondering, 1t
ina gines it hats solved the problem by
concluding that he and she have been
crossed in love. There may not be the
slightest evidence or argument for any
such conclusion. But on the hypothesis

WANTED TO KILL CLEVELAND.
A Texas Crank Dissatisfied with The
Administrations Management.

New Orleans, Dec. Pa. W. Alton,
of New Jerusalem, Tex, was arrested
upon the charge of insanity. He ar
rived over the Southern Pacific from
Houston, Tex, and claims that he was
not satisfied with the way Grover
Cleveland was running affairs, and
was on his way to Washington to kill
him when intercepted by officers. He
was locked UP in a cell last night,
which he almost demolished during the
night. He tore the boards from the
wall and did considerable damage. He
was almost nude this morning when
the officers removed him from the de-
molished cell to another. Alton claims
also that somebody is after him to do
him up. In his rawlings he sees all
kinds of demons and this morning said
that he could raise the dead and make
the sea give up its treasures. He says
he has a wife and several little bro
theirs and thinks they will come to his
rescue and release him from Jail.
Judge Cain remanded Alton to the
workhouse to be examined by the city
physician.

THE CURRENCY BILL.
The Republicans Can Defeat it or
Pass 1t.


Washington, Dec. 26.-Among the few
members of the House who were ait the
capitol today, the prevailing opinion
seemed to be that the Republicans had

currency bill. The Democratic vote, 1t
