How the Beers Make Love.

Having asked the permission of his
father to court a certain damsel in the
neighborhood--by that is meant any
thing within about fifty miles the
young BOer proceeds to purchase the
most strikingly decorated and loudly
colored saddle cloth for his steed that
he can possibly obtain. He will very
likely spend a large sum of money on
this, for 1t is a special occasion,
and no one knowing the country and
the habits of the people will have the
least doubt from the appearance of
his horse that he is in quest of BRIDE
Having made his preparations, he
mounts his most spirited horse and
journeys to his lady's home, but, in
stead of seeking the object of his af-
fcetions, he respectfully acts permits
sion of her father to court her The
old man cautiously refrains from an
swering, but consults his wife, and
the youth joins the younger members
of the houshold.
No further notice is taken of the
sutton for the rest of the day, but if
the parents approve of him, when the
rest of the household retires for the
night the mother solemnly approaches
the young man and maiden with a
tallow candle in her hand. This she
places on the table and lights, and
then, having taken an affectionate
farewello of the couple she retires. This
is sign TO the sutton that his suit is
acceptable.
AS long as the candle lasts the
young people set UP in the kitchen to-
gether and talk, and then the girl be-
takes herself to rest in the dormitory
used by herself and her sisters and
the young man finds quarters with the
brothers or other men of the house
hold.

A GOOD BILL.

A bill recently introduced in Congress
by Hon. A. G. Dayton, which aims 10 d-
vide this State intotwo Federal Districts,
is proper one, and should be passed
for one man to comfortably attend 70,
and the interests of the people will be best
conserved by having two courts and two
sets Of officials There is always a hurry
and hustle, as it is now, TO get from one
place to another. The opposition 10 the
bill is lead by Clerk Delicker. who has
been holding lucrative office under the
present regime for over thirty years. Con-
gresham Dayton should continue his good
fight, until the bill becomes a law In an
interesting letter in the Wheeling Intelli-
gencer. he thus comments on the oppose
ton to this bill
"The trouble with Delicker, and few
more like him, isShat they cannot realize

A Model English Town.

The town of Huddersfield, York
shire, stands unique in the world as
the only town which absolutely owns
itself in every respect. Beginning life
in a municipal artisans dwelling, the
young man rides to work on a munic-
ipal tram. He gets his gas or electric
ity from the city. His wife rents a
gas stove from the city, purchases her
produce from a municipal market. and
buys meat that has been prepared by
a municipal butcher. Both use the
public baths. enjoy the city's parks.
and send their children to the citys
Fairgrounds. Their house refuse is
removed by the city. When i'll they go
to the city hospital: or, if unfortunate.
to the municipal lodging room. Their
letters are collected by a city post
man. And in thousand other ways
their daily life comes in close contact
with the city government. At last they
are buried in a city cemetery. This
may be Socialism, or it may not be.
The citizens are satisfied and approve
of every municipal enterprise.
