A curious custom prevails In certain parts
Of India which may be called a symbOlicsl
marriage, In families where there are sew
eral daughters the younger sisters may only
marry after the elder sister Is married.
That, Of course, is not always the case, but
the obstacle can easily be surmOunted If
the elder sister declares herself ready TO
marry some tree, or a large flower or some
other lifeless object. In this way the dis
agreeable consequences Of disregarding the
time-h onored custom may be avoided and
the younger sister can safely be welded to
her living choice. The elder sister must.
however. take care not TO choose a poplar
tree. an elan tree or a pine; II she chooses
a plum, apple or apricot tree she may get
a divorce that is to say. shake II OF as
soon as a real man will ask for her hand.
while If she marries one OF the first three
named trees she cannot easily shake her
marital bonds. for these trees are sacred
and must nor be triGed with.

Al n general thing operators do not look
for very much of a run of cattle this
month, as the native cattle In the country
are about exhausted and the western cat
tie have not commenced to move freely.
Liberal receipts are anticipated for next
month. when the supply of range cattle
ought to be large.
Only about five LOADS Of fat cattle were
in the yards today, and they sold at S36j
ass. There were a few western steers
good enough to bring 1876. but the most OF
the range cattle here were only feeders.
The market on beef cattle was firm. The
market on butchers stock was also firm,
and the seven or eight loads here met with
ready sale. The most of the COWS here
were westerns and The feeder buyers bought
quite a good many of them away from the
killers.
The feeders were good buyers and the
market was active and strong. There were
some good sandhills cattle among the offer,
