Money and Marriage

Is it a lack Of money that keeps men
from marrying? This is the reason
often advanced; aud it seems to be JUS
tilted by the recent episode ut Chicago
where so couples rushed TO take advsn-
tage Of free performance Of the esre,
mony-tow they were to live after
ward evidently being less important
matter. Perhaps IL is only In the high
er walks Of life that the blessed estate
of holy matrimony is avoided on fnan-
cial grounds. Society demands more
and more Of those who belong to it.
and young men In moderate cifcnm-
stances dread the burden OF wife and
family, preferring their own selfish
pleasure. This may be deplorable, but

SOUTH AFRICAN WAR.

1t is no longer possible to accept the san
guine English description Of three serious
engagements in Natal as British victories. -
The battle at Glencoe merely served to save
Yule's force from annilhilstion or capture
and enabled it TO retreat to the main army
at Ladysmith, where it has just arrived in
state of exhaustion. It will rnnkle long In
English breasts that the wounded had to be
left behind. Moreover it is now clear that
the British loses in the three engagements
were much heavier than those Of the Beers,
who aie nuwise discouraged By their pres
ent position. The plain truth is that Gen.
eral Whites army is closely be.eagured by
superior force, and it is impossible to send
adequate Ieinforcements under a month.
These facts are binktd at by the London
press. but intelligent Englishmen are be-
ginning to understand them and The great
est anxiety is caused thereby. The British
have already lost nearly 1.OOO killed, wound
ed and prisoners, aad the end is not ret.
There is terrible story soon coming from
and it concerns this place the
keenest anxiety is now felt.
