LOVE AMONG LAPLANDERS.
Curious Customs In Vogue Among In
habitants of the Icy Land.

Curious Customs In Vogue Among In
habitants of the Icy Land.
When a young Laplander is in love
with girl he and she run race. He
is heavily handicapped, so that she
may win if she chooses, and if she out
run him he cannot propose again. OF
course she suffers herself to be over
taken If she cares for him, but the con-
sent Of her parents must be obtained
before she can be married. The law OF
the land is very strict on this point, and
in Olden times the man was subject to
capital punishment if he married with
out the consent of the girls parents.
After a Laplander has chosen a bride
he sends her a present of a girdle
ring and quantity Of brandy; he goes
so far as the door Of her hut, but re-
mains outside until invited to enter,
when bumper of brandy is offered to
the girls father; If he drinks it it is a
sign he consents to the marriage, and
the young lover then promises to give
the girl some clothes, and pays sum
of money, generally 100 copper dollars,
on the spot. This, of course is a rem
nant OF marriage by purchase, which,
in primitive times, succeeded marriage
by capture. Banns are published once
in Lapland and the marriage ceremony
is very short. The bride wears her hair
loose and has a gold band round her
head. Her presents and her dowry are
generally reindeer, and she and her
bridegroom remain with her parents
for year after marriage

The recollection of that afternoon

The Hawaiian Star Of June 3 publishes
the following story regarding an attempt
to blow up the United States steamer City
of Peking while that vessel was in po'r
there:
"lf report which is in circulation today
il true, Honolulu came near being the
scene OF as frightful a disaster IN that OF
the Maine. The story il that nothing
more nor less than an attempt TO blow up
the Peking magazine was frustrated Just
in time An enlisted man, IL IN said, was
caught Just in the act Of arranging fuse
connecting with the magazine. The magA-
zine contains 400 tons of powder and had
been guarded closely. The bastard IL ia
said is now under the closest guard and
when the Peking gets on the high seas
will be hanged TO the yard arm. he
greatest secrecy concerning the matter is
being maintained for fear IL would mar
the spirit of the present occasion. The
alleged culprit is said to be half Span
lard"
The publication caused sensation III
this city. Military officers on the ship
denied the truth OF the story, but their
denial was made in halfhearted way.
There are many corroborative features
which tend to prove the truth Of the re-
port. which was first circulated by en-
listed men. Others admitted that the
Spanish halfbreed was on board ship.
Two Honolulu citizens state that they
were on board the Peking on June when
they saw a man in irons and under close
guard. They were convinced that the
prisoner was the man who attempted TO
blow UP the ship.

themselves open TO serious attack. The
doctors who have warned the public say
that many Of the so-called new pins are
not new at all, but have been picked up
in the streets and laid side by side with
the others. The idea is not an altogether
pleasant one, and is, moreover, one likely
to increase the uneasiness OF the overfas
