ALONG THE CANADIAN BORDER.
Smuggling is not confined to the At
lantic and Pacific coasts, but extends
all along the Canadian border. The
smuggling of clothing, silks, jeWelrys
whisky. tobacco, butter, India goods,
opium, etc, is conducted on d very e71-
tensive scale across the Canadian Dor
der from Maine to the state Of Wash
ington. Buffalo, N Y has become
known as the head center Of a com
plete and profitable system Of sWind-
ling. Where d dollars worth OF du-
table property is brought from Canada
by rail a thousand dollars worth is
shipped across Niagara river in skiffs
between midnight and day0reak.
There are saloonkeepers in that city
who buy in Canada every gallon Of the
spirituous liquor which they sell and
they always know just where to find
parties to snluggle a cask or two across
the river. 1t is only about mile from
shore to shore.
The smuggling at Detroit, which is
the second best point along the border,
is merely bagateile in comparison
with Buffalo. During the winter, when
the lake is frozen, teams are driven
a distance OF twelve miles upon the ice
and not one load in fifty is overhauled
Most OF them contain smuggled goods
Suspension Bridge, Ogdensburgh, Rich
ford and st. Adams, VT, and Ell Paso,
Tex, are also famous points for snug
Cling, especially for Chinese laborers.
Recently a carload of hay was sealed
and passed across the border "in tran
sit TO the United States. After ar
irving at one of the large towns on the
border in the United States a hidden
trap door was opened in the bottom of
the car and twenty-three smuggled
Chinese laborers slid out and departed
for parts unknown.

AN ANCIENT CUSTOM.
Cumming For the Bottle" u Fea-
ture of Wedding Ceremonies.

Mr.. Yves B. Smith writes to the Dem
crat Of the last time he attended a
wedding where running for the BOTTLE
was a feature. OF course, in these de-
generate days of a. wedding it is not
necessary to precipitate a chase for
the receptacle, bue accounts of the for
mef custom may not be embarrassing.
The last chase of this kind says Mr..
Smith, that was performed in this sec
ton, occurred in November, 1886, at
the wedding of Emanuel Mann, father
of Judge Russell Mann, of Paris, and
Ellen SnodgraSs, daughter OF David
Snodgrass, after"wad-d county judge OF
HARRISON The groom is stin living,
now in his SEND year, at NIilersburg.
As ,he custom was, on the morning
of the wedding, the guests assembled
al the home Of the bride to await the
coming OF the bridegroom and his att
tendagIts. About one hour before the
expected arrival three of the younger
gentlemen, Messrs. David Henry, Jack
Barrett, and Long Sam VanHook,
equipped with whip and spur, mount
ed their snorting steeds and prepared
for the race.
ing upon the horses sides, over fences,
over bitches, through the fields, across
the meadows-on they raced ito meet
the bridegroom. AT last tine bridal
procession was sighted, the best
man riding IN front and holding in
view tine much-prized bottle of wfis-
ky. the race then assumed fresh
proportions. Faster flew the steeds.
Thicker grew the dust behind them.
Now Barrett is in front. Over the
next jump Long Sam leads by a
nose. Henry leads at the next jump.
Now all are together. Down the
Straight they come as one team. The
riders are whipping for Gneir lives.
One more DASH One more stride!- A
supreme effort! and Jack Barrett cap
tured the bottle.
Now Jack has won the right to head
the procession Proudly riding in
front, shaking the bottle above his
head in the pride of supremacy, he
guides The way to the bridal parlor, and
the ceremony is ended.
The bottle, surrounded by a gay ar
ray of accoutreTnents, with exquisite
floral decorations OF mint, was proudly
stationed on tine sideboaId all the live
long day, that ne who would might
partake of It's contents without let Or

Mr.. Smith adds that no one so far
forgot himself as to imbibe too freely.
Mr. Snodgrass was q preacher in the

Thenceforward Hobbs had what is
known in cannibal land as a perpetual
roast. 1t is to be hoped he never mar
ried, for that might make trouble even
for an Oumalea when he returns to
Ilika with his bride.
When the colonel had been on the
island about nine months the king had
the good sense to die. The chiefs held
a convention to nominate his successor,
and Ral,ihokouma, who led the forces
of free roast missionary, sprung the
name of Hobbs. to the confusion of an
opposing candidate named Ala. The
convention executed a war dance
around his Dagoda. He was then

srARlsIED A KING OF CANNsBAI,s.


Colonel John F. Hobbs, formerly of
Lexington county, South Carolina, is
an emperor of cannibals. He has seen
mems hearts eaten, he has learned that
white mans meat tastes like salt
horse, and that Chinaman steaks are
'ausgezeichnet." When he returns to
the South Pacific island of which he
says he is king he will take pretty Miss
Ella Collin of New York with him as
his bride.
Miss Collin is the daughter of Peter
ColN,, who is a Swede by birth and a
tailor by occupation. The emperor of
the Cannibal islands, whose official
title is "Oumalea," signifying 1.-THE
supreme ruler forever of all the land, y
has been a mighty traveller since he
was a boy.
Miss Ella Collin has lovely red hair
and eyes as blue as the Pacific. No
wonder she fell in love as she listened
to the wonderful tale of the wander
ings of Ulysses Hobbs
Colonel Hobbs says he was sent in
| 1890 by the Australian government to
see that those who contracted for
laborers from the neighhoring islands
to work in the sugar. fields properly re-
! turned them to their native land when

this confidence by showing the king a

This is made of silk or linen or cretonne,

The flavor of broiled fish is rendered
richer and finer if the fish is laid in salad
oil for an hour before it is cooked. The
fish should be placed on a fiat plate, two
or three tablespoonsful of the oil poured
upon it, and when this has soaked in
thoroughly the fish may be turned over
and the other side treated in the same
fashion.

PRETTY SUMMER COSTUMES.

Purple is one OF the colors whose var
ious depths of tone combine well, and,
this being q. purple season. that fact is
taken full advantage of in many ways.
Green, too, is very fashionable, and
green and purple also form pleasing
combination.
Gray and yellow are again seen in
companionship, and, like green and
black, the association. always has a
refined and exclusive look. Curiously
enough, gray and yellow are not COM
monty placed in conjunction by some
freak of taste. Perhaps qGlat is one
reason why the combination seems SO
elegant.
F'oulard is increasing in favor in Paris
and probably by next summer 1T will be
universally worn here, although as yet
little of it is seen. It is light, cool and
pretty, and suited to the composition
of charming toilets. Lace is the pre-
ferred trimming, with embroidery and
all sorts of white accessories. Some
times pla1tings of gauZe are employed
as d trimming, sometimes applications.
White is used as much as possible
with all varieties of color and fabric.
Belts of white satin, collars, vests and
cuffs are seen with almost every kind
of costume. Ribbons, both white, black
and colored, are used to diversity plain
bodices.
Plated mousseline de sole forms a
part of the fashionable costumes. Some
times the plating is plain; sometimes
| clusters of plaitS alternate with plain
/ or lace filled spaces.

Wages In Mexico.

There are really no wages in Mexico.
All working people take what they can
get-that is, what the employer chooses
to pay. Wageworkers make so little
that there is no incentive to thrift, no
stimulation of energy. The classes are
the rich and the poor. There is no
middle class. More hopefully perhaps
it might be said that a middle class Is
just beginning to form. They who see
no hope of independence, or even of
small homes, naturally have no am.
bition. As soon as they get very
little money theyquit their employment
and squander 1t. Many employers
make money, but their prosperity is
based on the degradation Of labor.
The men who do the heavy work in the
mines of Mexico receive not more than
10 cents TO 81 day in Mexican money,
or from 40 to so cents In actual money !;
for agricultural labor there never is q
quotable rate; hackmen and walters at
restaurants depend almost or wholly
on tips" which custom makes small,
and the money of the country smaller;
house servants get from SO to 50 a
month, rarely the higher price. And
let 1t be borne in mind that this is a
silver money country. and that most
things except labor bear high prices

sentinel for his son in law while he
hoed his corn, and got the first fire
at the Indians, but there being from
twelve to fifteen of them and very near
him he could not escape. Eight balls
penetrated his body; he was scalped,
a new English bayonent was thrust
through his face and two bloody toma.
hawks left near his mangled body.
He was the sixth person Of his name
who had been killed or captured by
the Creeks and Cherokees; his wife
was made widow by their anguiary
cruelties. The Indians continued daily
to steal the horses of the inhabitants ts
notwithstanding all the defensive pro.
lection that could be given to them.
Gen. Robertson in the month of july
sent an express to the Governor, and
on Films Creek the Indians stole his
horses and compelled him to perform
the journey on foot. On Wednesday
the 9th of August, about 8 O'Clock in
the morning, Maj. George Winchester
was killed and scalped by the Indians,
near Maj. Wilson's in the district of
Nero on the public road leading from
his own house to Sumner court house;
he was a justice of the peace, and was
on his way to court; he was valuable
citizen and good civil and military
officer.

That one United States dollar will buy
two Mexican dollars is probably true
but the Mexican dollar in Mexico will
pay a dollar debt, and the United States
dollar won't do any more here. But the
Mexican farmer only gives one dollars
worth of stuff to get his dollar to pay a
dollar debt. Our farmers have to give
nearly three dollars worth of stuff to
get dollar to pay dollar debt. Who
is in the best fix, the Mexican or our
