TALK OF MARRIAGE.
II Is Proper For the Man, but Not
For the Girl, Apparently.

man may remark on his intention
to marry at some indefinite future time,
when prudence or other considerations
may make 1t possible or advisable.
without having, as a rule. to run the
gantlet of chorus of impertinent and
stupid would be witty remarks. But
should girl be bold enough. or. rather.
natural and simple enough, to say the
same thing what would be the result?
Why, every one knows that she would
be promptly sneered out of counte-
nance.
And why? Is it immodest for wom-
an to express determination to enter
into a state which we are being contin-
ually reminded is natural and honor
able state, while it is modest and prop
er for a man to do so? Such a distinc-
ton would never be drawn except for
the "cheapness" to which reference has
been made.
If man wants to marry, he can mar
ry. If the first woman he asks refuses
him. he has only to ask a second or per-
haps third or fourth. 1t would be
any man of fairly respectable life and
position and appearance who cared to
make the experiment could marry in
his own class, could marry probably
woman much superior to himself.
But what about the girl who intends
to marry some day" Is she not in
very different position from the man?
Here is a girl of good character-,nuch
better than the mans, probably-aver-
age intelligence, average good looks.
Theoretically she is free to marry
whom she will, but is she? If she re-
ceives one distinct offer Of marriage.
she has had more than her share. ac.
cording to the probable average.
The fact that by an unwritten law n
woman must not take. and, indeed, does
not want to take the initiative has very
little to do with the extremely limited
choice which modern conditions impose
upon English women.-Nineteenth Cen

c. IL. Harvey, Jr., of Royalton, is the
possessor of a geography, which was
published in 1874. The book measures
four inches by seven inches, and has
1870 pages. The maps, of which there
are only few, are very small. When
it was printed, pot and pearl ashes were
the chief exports of Vermont, and maple
sugar is spoken of as one of the mos i'm
portant manufactures. The chapter on
Vermont has the following: "Wlndsor
and Rutland, by late act of the legisla-
ture, are alternately to be the seat of gov.
eminent for eight years. The former is
situated on the Connecticut river and con-
tains about 1000 inhabitants; the latter
lies on the Otter Creek and contains
upwards of 400 inhabitants. Both are
flourishing towns" "Newbury is the
shire town of Orange county. 1t has a
court house and very elegant meeting
house for Congregationalists, with a
steeple, the first erected in the state"

it was new discovery by DIR. David

large departmental stores of Toronto

merchants. says Profitable Advertising
y report comes from Wolfville, y. S,
Of plan hit on there for keeping a lar.
ger percentage of trade at home. They
have started what they call n "mer-
chants day" On this day every store
offers special bargains and also a gen
eral discount of 10 per cent on all
stock. At a meeting held beforehand
it is arranged to have no clashing OF
bargains, each merchant declaring his
specials, and the people support the
day with enthusiasm.
Wolfylle merchants seem unanimous
in declaring it successful innovation,
inspiring their customers with conf
dence in their desire to do as well for
them as the city stores. The day and
its bargains are of course fully adver-
tised, the merchants combining their
advertisements for the day. From all
reports 1t is only yearly occurrence,
but If so successful why is it not in

Liable to be Trouble.

There is much speculation among
attorneys and politicians over what
effect the supreme court decision,
which set aside county lines beyond
the Missouri, will have on the reap
portionment of the state for legisla-
tive purposes says a Fargo cores
pondent. The lines OF the legislative
districts conformed in many instances
with the county lines, and somo hold
that the decision obliterating county
boundaries also wiped out the newly
created Legislative districts. Others
assert that as long as the legislative
district lines were not uniformly
based on the divisions for the coun-
ties the reappoftionmsat will stand,
There are some features develop
ing in the senatorial fight which may
make it desirable that the old legisl4'
tive districts be maintained, and it is
among the possibilities that action
may be brought to test the matter
and set aside tie reapportionment'
The old number of Legislators was
much smaller and moro easily mani
pulated than tie new one will be,
and all kinds 2of combinations are
feared.
Another interesting feature has
arisen over who shall call the next
Legislative conventions. In some
districts two, and even three, new

An ABLE Address Before the Cadets at Eing
hams School

(Special to the News and Observer
Asheyille. ~ c., Nov. lion invita-
tion from Col. Bingham, Prof. M. c. s
Noble, a former pupil and teacher in
the Bingham School, and now professor
in the State University, made stirring
and striking address before the 140 mem
bers of the Bingham cadet corps Fri
day.
Prof Mobiles manner is essentially his
own and he speaks with originality and
mower. What he said made for true
manliness for high learning, for the
trained brain, for culture, for the best
intellectual equipment which secures
success in any line of life, whether pro-
fcssional. literary scientific, commercial
or agricultural, and he pressed the strik-
ing fact that while one man in forty
trained intellectually, gets to the very
top of life only one unframed man in
10000 attains eminence in any line of
life.
1t would be well for the University
and for the cause of the best advance
ment in the State if every student body
in North Carolina could hear Prof.
Mobiles words of wisdom, power and
strong common sense.
