the back is covered with carved Inscriptions. includ
ing the initials of many famous men, The feet are

inches long by egheeen wide and twelve inches thick
and all the soveregns of England for the last eight
hundred years have sat upon it when they were
crowned The chair is known as the Coronation
Char, and the stone is claimed to he the same which

Russian Marriages by Oroer.

Marriages by order were so common saws Prince
Kropotkin in the October AtLantic that amongst
our servants, each time young couple saw that
they might be ordered to marry although they had
no mutual inclination for each other, they took the
precaution of standing together as godfather and
godmother at the christening of child in one of the
peasant families. This rendered marriage impossible,
accordingto the Russian church law The stratagem
was usually successful, but it ended in drama
Andrei the tailor fell in love with girl belonging to
one OF our neighbors. He hoped that my father
would let him go free, tailor, in exchange for
certain yearly payment, and that by working hard
at his trade he could manage to lay some money
aside and to buy freedom for the girl Otherwise in
marrying one OF my fathers serfs she would have be-
come the sert OF her husbands master. However as
Andre and one Of the maids of our household foresaw
that they might be ordered to marry they agreed to
unite as godparents in the christening of child
What they had feared happened: one day they were
called to the master and the dreaded order was
given.
eve are always obedient to your will I" thev re-
Piled, "but few weeks ago acted as godfather
and godmother at christening Andrea also ex-
planned his wishes and intentions
The result was that he was sent to the recruiting
board to become a soldier
Military service in those times was terrible It
required an to twenty five years under the
coors, and the life of soldier was hard in the ex
IRENE Blows from the sergeant and the officers
noggng with birch rods and with sticks for the
slightest fault were the normal state of affairs The
cruelty that was displayed surpassed all gnation

esolutions Adopted in Memory Of Mr.
Fred N. Hartshorn.

Be it remembered, that on this, the
25th, day Of March, 1898, at meeting
Of the stockholders Of the Merchants
Bank, Of Grenada, Miss, the following,
among other proceedings, we're had:
The president officially announced
the death OF Mr.. Fred N. Hartshorn,
the vice.president OF the bank, which
event occurred on the llth Of March,
1898. Thereupou the following com.
mittee was appointed TO draft suitable
resolutions, towit: Messrs. VIM. c.
Mclean, J. W. Mcleod, and r. Doak.
The committee presented the following
resolutions, which were unanimously
adopted:
It is with ineffable and unutterable
sorrow that we are called upon to
chronicle tne death OF our vice.presi-
dbut, Mr.. Fred N. Hartshorn. For
many years Mr.. Hartshorn has been in
timstely connected with this institu-
ton; first, as its patron, then as stock
holder aud director, aud fually, as its
houored and worthy vice-president.
Durirg all these years and with the
many and varied duties that he was
called upon to perform, he was ever
found to be faithful and Just, prompt
and accurate, the very soel and embod'
iment Of honor and integrity: all of his
business dealings were characterized
with that skill, conservatism and un-
erring judgment which stamped him as
q gentleman Of the highest order ol
talent. He was the mcst companions
bic aud lovable OF men-always genial
and open.hearted, loving his fellow
men, synpathizing with the distressed.
and ever ready to aid and assist those
who needed his comfort and support
True to principle, true to friends, he
had our unbounded and fullest trus
aud confidence. In his demise, this in
stitution has sustained the loss of ar
honored, wise and conservative officer
the community one Of its chief com
'mercial factors. and society one OF its
most chivalrous and cougenial mem
bers.
1t is resolved that the above be spread
upon the minutes of the bank and be
published in our city papers, and copy
be forwarded to the relatives of the de.
ceased. WN. G.. MCLEAN,
