kits liras, or nearly one hundred thou sand dollars. The brides family was a very wealthy one and she was the only daughter She had seen Haskas in some way and that shortened the pre- liminaries somewhat as a direct bid could be made. The girl was young and pretty and Haskas was considered very fortunate. The bride in addition to the money dowry, received the gift of two houses, one in Prinkipo and one in Pera, but these were settled upon her. The furniture and clothes were all part of the dowry, and Haskas' mother went to verify the inventory to see if anything was put down that was not there. Haskas mother thought he was letting himself go dirt cheap, but as the bride was an only child and the parents lived near Yerimbourgas, and already showed evidences of the in- salubrity of that place, she finally con- sented to the match.
 The day before the wedding the whole amount of the dowry in cash was paid over to Haskas, and from a clerk with pitiful salary of three liras a week he became in one hour a part ner in the firm he had formerly worked for. Out of this money Haskas bought adiamond necklace and other jewels for his bride and his own wedding clothes.
 The wedding was to be at the home of the bride. When I arrived at the house she was dressed and I was in- vited into the bedroom where she stood in her magnifcence. She was com pletely covered from head to foot with ! g veil of long strips of tinsel like that with which we decorate our Christmas trees. You could see nothing through

The poor, weary bride was placed on the same stool and the bridegroom came forward with 8 richly trimmed cushion on which his presents were dis played, a watch with long, heavy chain, a diamond brooch and necklace and pair of filigree bracelets over four inches wide, studded with rubies, and 8 red silk purse filled with gold money After the presentation of the jewels Haslzas awlzwardly unfastened the tinsel veil, handed it to his mother and clasped the jewels on the bride, to whom he then offered his hand and to lead her to the supper room, followed by all the rest Hot roast mutton and pilaff and several other very substantial dishes were served, and abundance oi of wine. The bride never spoke nor did anyone appear to regard her as other than lay figure, though she ate little. It was daylight before they had finished eating, for everyone did full justice to the feast Then every. one went home in the gray light oi morning, after one last cup of coffee and a congratulatory speech.
 Every wedding is carried out in the sane general manner, allowing for diff ference in the station and circum. stances of the families.
 The mother-in-law exists in Armenian as well as in our comic papers. Haskas' mother never left off belittling the supper, the dowry and the appearance of the bride, but no one appeared tc feel hurt or vexed, so imagine it must be customary. Weddings being SC complex, one is usually enough to last lifetime and divorces are almost un heard of. OLIVE HARPER

ROCKY MOUNTAIN KELLY.
An Odd Character Described by

COPYRIGHT. 1895.


 In Cow Mountain Camp the popula- ton was divided into three main diyi- sions, miners, gamblers and lawyers. There were, it is true, other unimpor- tant classes of people, like groeers, banders, etc, and small group of prospeetors, the latter very interest ing class to which Kelly fairly be- longed
 Prospectors were again subdiyided into curbstone prospeetors, prospeeters proper and one-legged prospectors. This was Kelly's own classification and he called himself a one-legged prospec- tor, but everybody else called him one of the best men that ever stood pan handle or clawed country rock with q pick.
 They called him Rocky Mountain Kelly" because he knew the whole country from Pike's Peak to Mount Hood. He had been twice to Old Mex leo, once to Alaska and all over Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona in short, for twenty years he and his broncho tor burro) had travelled every passable gold field anu climbed every accessible pass and some that were not accessible.

but on his way home that cartridgc troubled him. Early in the morning, after restless night, he rose hastily and hurried down to the mine. He slipped couple of the cartridges iu his pocket and returned to his cabin
 'I banned out them eairtridges," he said to Selden, in great excitement, ''and got handsbreath of gold.

 Then how did it get there?a
 Se1den shrugged his shoulders.
 That's your problem.n
 Kelly broke out See here, Joe. you know me. I'm no bow-legged dude from Columbia college I'm looking out for salted mines. That rock got after the blast before any other man went in. If them fellows are trying to dc me I'll cut 'em off at the pockets. ;
 They've changed the sample on you,n said Selden.
 No, but that's impossible. I never left me grip on it till delivered it to you
 Well, 1 can't do any more for you, Kelly. I've put you on your guard. He turned to his furnaces.
 Kelly walked away with bent head. He thought he,lxnew all the tricks of mine swindlers. He was now convinced that the men were trying to do him., but he could not for the life of him see where they got in front of him.
 He went down to the mine again, go- ing over every conceivable plan for salting mines. After each blast he went in and examined the rock. It was without color or sparkle of gold or silver.
 As he was going out he picked up one of the cartridges to see what sort it was He noticed dinly something peculiar about it, but had not the time to consider it critically He went out.

 When was the tower of London dis. covered?' asked the Devilbug of an antedeluvian yeoman who was holding mp a corner of the Outer Bail, which is the name of one of the walls
 Julius Casar built hit, sir, hat least so 'istory would have bus think, sir. ,
 And for sixpence he meandered intc the history of the tower, aud we learned how it had been the habitation oi kings who had broken the leases oi their regular palaces or had been evicted for non-payment of rent.
 We left the tower after viewing the crowns and crown jewels that are kept in monkey cage in one of the towers. ''I'll bet Queen Vic Il find out their real value if she ever tries to see what she can get on 'em They're plated and fourteen karat at that. I wonder what she wanted so many salt cellars for?''
 There were loyal subjects within earshot of the Devilbug. They don't call the hurry-wagons In London be. cause they haven't any. We escaped. After that we visited the Tower bridge, a stupendous piece of engineering. We walked up the two hundred and six steps leading to the upper footway. The brfdgetender kindly offered to take us up in the lift, but explained that we would have to go to the comnis- missioners of the bridge, Messrs. Bat terly Bros, Moore Lane, Guildhall Hall. Cab fare one shilling sixpence. We did not go.
 Instead we went to dinner. We had beefsteak and onions among other deli cacies. 1t rained when we had fin ished, but the Devilbug didn't care. He hoisted his umbrella and sallied up
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1895-09-14

to bobby who was unfolding his waterproof shoulder-cape. Poising the handle of the umbrella against the bobby's belt buckle, while the umbrel la let the rain shed itself down one of the patient guardians of the peace, Dew ilbug plucl1ed amiably at button on the constable's coat.
 "C-can y-you t-t-tell me-" the wretch asked, with an admirable imitation oi a horrible stutterer, ''w-where the Y-youn-young M-men-men's Chr-chri christian as-s-s-s-s-so-c-c-ciation is?"
 (Which one, sir, Strand or Pic cadilly?a
 T th-thinlz it Is the one in P-p-pic ca-dil-lly."
 "G-g-o s-tr-traight a-ah-head," re piled the poor bobby The miserable constable had found stammering con- tagious We were glad to break away and he was glad to get rid of us The tears were oozing out of my eyes. The effort to keep straight face was agon- izing.
 We saw some of London's lovely flower women, fascinating old things as you may readily imagine.
 Poor things! It isn't their choice They'd just as soon ride around like the few big-wig women that are left in town in magnificent equipages and wear Regent street fnery. I have no doubt they are quite as much entitled to good time as the mobility" women. But in London-lil1e some other places l could mention-it's an awful crime to be poor. People are all more or less servile, each in turn to some one higher up, or whom they make believe is up higher, which is pretty much the same thing.
 Perhaps there is class of people still lower in the social scale who look up to the draggled-loolzing flower women. Who knows? An, but have forgotten! Miserable as is the ap- pearanee of these women they are the superior of the more offensive if better clad and apparently younger women whom one meets by hundreds openly importuning in the main thoroughfare in daylight and swarmlng by thousands around the various street intersections after nightfall.
 1ntTc brc uO OIOt1C1S III 1JOdttOn, said Scotland Yard official to me. Brothels, forsoothl At theater clos ing time the region around the Criterion seems one great outdoor brothel. Enough of this.
 Of the oldest of London sights are the innumerable little carts and minia- ture drags that are drawn by tiny don keys driven by big serious-looking men. The very unfitness of the thing is cheerful.
 The messenger boys, too, are queer looking lot, with their imitation Tommy Atkins attire. The London A. D. T. boy is shade faster than the Ameri- can article.
 The hack or hanson driver never re- fuses to carry anything that can be crushed on or in his rig. It is no un- common sight to see family moving conducted on small scale by means of a four-wheeler. The public carriages make the ordinary express wagon with l the impertinent and unwholesome ex- pressman almost an unnecessary if not unknown quantity in London town. To that extent they are a public com 1 fort and blessing.

an avalanche in the mountains and had carried the dead body a hundred miles through the wilderness in order that it might be properly buried This illus trates his resource and his fearlessness.
 He knew yerybody in Cow Mountain and had his joke with them all. His gray blue eyes had sunny light in them when he was good natured, which was almost always, but they could be cold and terrifying on ocea- sion.
 He knew rocks. He could run down vein of gold as another man might track deer. He could look at the sur face of a landscape aud see the veins under it as a sculptor sees forms" under apparently unrelieved surface. To see Kelly crawling about a hill with his hammer in hand was worth while. His eye was as quick for a piece of float as another hunters might be for bear's slot, or an Indi- ans for white mans trnil.
 The trend of sdilte," the slant of a ledge, the ''faulting of veins" did not trouble him long. He ran his overland tunnels, as he called his little open trenches, and sank his shafts and ran his tunnels relentlessly till he found his vein and took it's drift
 To talk with him was privilege and an education in self-reliant manhood.
 With all these things to bring forth the man he was, fl is singular that 8 scrub speculator like Fainter should have gained 3 wrong impression of Kelly It arose, no dopbt, from the fact that Kelly was away in the Wind River mountains for eight months, during which time Fainter settled in Cow mountain.
 Kelly had said to friend that he had few thousand to invest in a mine, and Fainter jumped him. with sbeauti- ful chance"
 ssI have mine,n said he, which friend has placed in my hands to sell He don't want it. He lives east He'll sell for four thousand five hum dred dollars if he can get the cash It's a sure enough bargain, Kelly"
 Kelly said: "I'll look it over"
 He did look it over and shook his head. .sThere's nothing in it, he said. Ut won't run ten cents.
 .sYes, but it does. Come with me to Marshali's office. He assayed it and it ran eighteen ounces.
 Kelly saw the assayer and was uncon- vinced. "I don't like the looks of the rock. There's not color in it. How ever, if you'll give me six days to look it over, and if my own assay holds up, I'll take it."
 He hung about the tunnel all the next day examining the rock. It satisfied him less than ever. At night he took some of the rock to be assayed It ran nearly twenty ounces to the ton.
 The next day he waited until the blast was made, then he said to the man in charge:
 Let me go in alone, Waush. !"
 They did not object and he secured some of the freshly dislodged rock. This held eighteen ounces of gold and yet he could not believe it., His keen eye educated to gold-bearing rock of all kinds would not be convinced by even this apparently conclusive test. He mounted his horse and took some of the rock over to his friend, Selden, on Sad de Rock hill, and they held searching inquest on it.
