HASTY MARRIAGES.
promise cases were brought by men
against women.
In some communities, In both Ply
mouth and Boston a formal betrothal,
called a contraction" took place. This
was not held to have very favorable
influence on morals, as colonial court
records prove, and as II furthered long
engagements was not encouraged. Cot
ton. Mather expressed himself with
some force upon this subject.
A certain sordidness and meanness
appears in many of the accounts OF
wooings I'm colonial times through the
eagerness Of both the father and the
bride and the groom to drive as sharp
a bargain over the marriage contract
as possible. The tender passion was
reckoned in many cases as pounds,

An engagement of marriage was a
serious matter in those days, If the

tim should not be allowed the
further humiliation of detailing a
crime which she can hardly whisper
to her husband or breathe to her
parents. He is lynched because of
the conviction in the public mind
that this is the most effectual way
of preventing a repetition of the Of

lynchers have less regard for law
and order, but because they have
more concern for the sanctity of

such a sentiment by statute would
prove as futile as an effort to over

prevent the lightning flashes from

These sentiments were Endorsed

The Chicago Inter-Ooean pays
the following tribute to the
Southern soldiers at Nashville:
ssThe Confederate veterans made a
great day of their reunion at Nash
vile. The followers of Jackson
and Johnson and Lee are as enthu-
siastic admirers of their great
warriors as when they marched and
fought for the Lost Cause They
were great soldiers, and the men
who followed them were hard
fghters-the Union veterans bear
willing testimony; but the war days
are over, and Old Glory will find
in all the years to come the Blue
and the Gray shoulder to shoulder
ready for defense. In that is the
beauty of it ALL"

ner remarks: ssThis article must
not be construed into an approval

tariff is proposed by the Dingley

1t is very amusing to read how
some Democratic papers explain
the fact that they are not in favor
of protection, although they think
Senator McEnery is eminently right
in voting for the Dingley bill.
They do not want to be known as
protectionists, yet they are giving
their support to the Dingley bill.

WASHINGTON. March 1O.-The con-
viction and sentence Of John d. Hart
of Philadelphia, cn the charge of en-
gaging in f.lbns rang expedition in
aid of the Cuban Insurgents, seems to
have greatly encouraged the govern
ment to put stop to these unlawful
proceedings. Information has re ched
the department of justice that there is
unusual activity among Cuban sympa-
thizers at Pensacola and Appalachlcola,
Fla, and, IN consequence, the United
States ship Marblehead has been fully
informed as to the situation and in
structed to be on the alert to prevent
the departure Of any craft under sus-
picion Of having men or firearms on
board. It is believed that arms in con-
siderable quantities have been secreted
at a number of points on the Gulf
coast, but the utmost vigilance will be
exercised in preventing their being
taken off. Thus far, however, the Of
ficials have received no information OF
any seizures.

ais Of Greece, and tnat they will carry
out their threat Of coercion, if neces-

the shock of surrender to the excited

posing the will Of United Europe,
