There are very few early marriages
among the Swiss. They are, almost to
couple, dependent, not upon wages.
but upon land. and it is not he who can
work who can afford y marry, but he
who owns enough land TO produce the
necessities Of family life. The Swiss are
hardy. All the conditions of their ex-
istence make them SO. The hardest ana
most ceaseless work is their necessary
lot and that work, as a rule, yields
them but the merest sufhciencies. Their
summers are summers of cruel labor
and their harvests harVests OF only Just
enough sheaves OF corn, bins OF apples,
heaps OF cheese. stores of honey, bum
dies of flax, hemp and wool TO insure
their bitter winters from nakedness ana
hunger They must work. and they
must think ahead. They must hoard
through all the lavish, luscious sum
mer, or winter will bring them TO abb
iect want. want which their neighbors
will certainly lack the means and pos
sibly lack the will to relieve.
They have no leisure. They have no
time, perhaps no heart, for lovemak-
ing. Their lovemaking before marriage
is neither very moving nor very ad-
mirable, but the lovemakinS that pre-
cedes marriages is the least of love-
making. the chill tremble of light be-
fore the full glory of life's day. In
Switzerland there is no lovemaking aft
er marriage.
There is something very sad and
dreary about wedding in the canton
OF Valas. There is no sign of rejoicing,
no music. no feasting, not even day $
cessation from the extremely hard work
which makes up the daily life-the life
OF each and every day in this. the hard
est, narrowest pulsed OF all the Swiss
cantons. At daylight, or rather just
before daylight. at day dawn, the bride
and groom and the few necessary wit
nesses walk soberly-gloomily ii always
seems-to church There is no mar
riage garment. no hutter Of bridal
ribbon, no perfumed flush of bridal
flowers. All wear their workaday
clothes.
The ceremony is briefiy-almost sui
lenly-performed. There are no con-
gratulations. Resignation seems the
warmest emotion felt-certainly it is
the warmest expressed-ard il is not
expressed warmly. There is not even a
nuptial kiss. The bride is not shy The
bridegroom is not exultant. All seem
sullen, all depressed. The priest Is paid
his scanty fee-the scantiest possible.
The depressing, the dreary the deadly
dull function is over. The day has fair
ly broken now, and all turn away and
| plod sullenly to their customary back
breaking daily toll.
There is no lingering in the church
porch for the newly made wife nor for
her bridegroom. They must get to their
daily work, and get there at once: no
delaying work for one five minutes for
peasants of Canton Valais. Perhaps
| both bride and groom feel little less

PICHARDO's REVENGE.
1t Is Said That He Gave Out De
Iome's Letter

Letter.
New York. Feb. 12.-The mystery as
to how the letter from Senior de LONE
to Senor Canalejas fell into the hands
Of the Cuban iunta seems to have been
solved.
According to advices from Havana.
received today. Senior Manuel Serafn
Pichardo, son-in-law of the Spanish
deputy. Senior Arturo Amblard, and
correspondent in Havana of Senor Ca
nalejas's Madrid newspaper, was the
man who gave the letter to the Cuban
agent, who brought it to the junta
Pichardo, it is said. was actuated by
a spirit of personal revenge and not in
the least by a desire to benefit the
Cuban cause. He wanted to disgrace
De LONE, because the letter contained
a remark about Senor Amblard, which
he deemed insulting.
"There goes Amblard," said De LONE
to Canalejas. Il believe he comes too
deeply taken up with little political
matters, and there must be something
very great or we shall lose"
Canalejas showed the letter to
the reference to him. There is no
doubt now that The Times was right in
saving that Canalejas was not entirely
ignorant of what was going on. Be-
sides his intimacy with Pichardo and
the latters connection with Ell Heraldo
de Madrid, Pichardo is also one of the
editors of La Lucha of Havana. the
newspaper which violently attacked De
Lone. The connection between Ell
Heraldo's campaign in Madrid, De
Lome's letter, La Lucha's campaign in
Havana, and the publication by the
iunta is now fully established.
The intimacy of Pichardo and Canal
ejas began in Madrid long before Pic
hardo married the daughter of Senor
Amblard. Pichardo is poet, and Can
aleias. as an influential journalist, help
ed him greatly, and when Pchardo re-
turned to Havana appointed him CORE
spondent of his newspaper there. 1t
IS we'll known in Havana that Amblard
strongly opposed his daughters mar
riage to Pichardo, and that, after it took
place he became reconciled with his
son-in-law through the influence of
Canalejas, who is Amblard's intimate
friend.
Amblard has assumed a political at
titude with regard to autonomy in Cuba
similar to that of Senior CanalejaS. He
refused to accept portfolio in the au-
tonomist cabinet. In short, Senior de
LONE made a great mistake when he
wrote to Senior Canalejas that Senior
Amblard was "too much taken up with
little political matters

ON A MISSION FROM CUBA.
Arrival in New York of Distin-
ruished Patriot officer.

New York, Feb. 12,-Pedro Aguilera,
of Kfndelan, distinguished officer in
the Cuban army, and son of the Cuban
patriot hero of the last war, Francisco
Aguilera. arrived in New York to-day
on a. special mission from Gen. GallXto
Garcia.
Asuilera's father was millionaire,
who devoted his fortune, his life and
his sons to the cause Of the freedom
of his country. He became president
of the republic, and came to New York
TO raise an expedition, but died here on
February %, 1877.
Pedro Aguilera reports the situation
in Santiago de Cuba as very favorable
for the Cuban army. Gen. Garcia has
10 600 well armed veterans and is in
absolute control of the province
Aguilera speaks highly of Gen. Rabl
as a military man and a patriot, and
saws that il is hard to conceive how
Gen. Blanco could entertain the nope
of bribing such man.

taking advantage of the De Lone in

Lee of having written letters to Amer
lea not favorable TO autonomity for
which reason he should be considered
a persona non grata. Gen. Lee. out
side of his official communications to
the Washington Government, has never
written a letter to Senator's, friends,
his family or anyone else concerning
autonomy or any matter in connection
with Cuba.
The autonomist cabinet seem to be
hunting for trouble, and they were also
the meters of the Buccaneer incident.
Not being sure how the affair would
turn out, they advised the seizure to
be made on customs house pretext.

by the delighted cheering OF the Tories.

Mrs. BOnnano Has Sat Some Thousands CT
Times For Photos.
Perhaps there is not a woman in this
country or in the world, whether ac-
tress, professional beauty, queen or
princess, who has been photographed as
many times and III as many different
poses as has Mrs Domenico BonnanO.
In Mrs. BOnnano's case it was nothing
but a tribute, first, last and all the
time, for in each instance she was pho,
tographed only because she was beauti-
full. Moreover, the photographer was a
recognized authority on female beauty,
a past grand master Of the art of pho
Biography, magician of lenses.
He was Napoleon Sarony, Mrs. Bon
nano's first husband
When Sarony established his photo
graph gallery in New York, he conceiv-
ed the idea Of advertising his business
by placing in prominent locations sam
Piles of his work. There were profes-
sional beauties and handsome actresses
in those days just as there are in these
days, bot Sarony never found a more
@AAAEA@4AA Hb@bJINI lItt1l lis OMu Nl1G,
and he used to delight to make pictures
OF her in all sorts Of artistic attitudes
and in all sorts Of garb to which her
remarkable figure and charming features
best lent themselves So it came about
that hundreds if not thousands Of pho
tographs were taken Of MRS. B0nnauo
before her first husband died. These
photographs extend over a period Of
many years, showing Mrs. Bonnano in
the flush of youth and up to the maturi-
ty OF her personal charms They make
a remarkable collection that is highly
priced by members of her family. Not
only was Mrs Bonnano photographed
often, but her picture was painted and
sketched hundreds Of times. Sarony
himself drew her portrait in charcoal
or crayon at every opportunity. -Phila-
