Religion and Marriage.
The average Negrito has but one wife,
although he may have female slaves, hav-
ing adopted as such the widows of his de-
ceased friends or female relatives. Mar
rage takes place at an early age and girls
are usually welded by the time they are
IL. In the marriage ceremony the groom
catches the bride and draEs her to her
parents, telling them he wants to marry
her. II the old folks consent. a cocoanut
shell Of water is poured over the couple,
they woolly heads are pressed together and
from that time on they are man and wife.
Whether the bride gets a new wedding
watstcloth | do not know, but | am told
that the two always go off by themselves
on a trip through the woods during the
honeymoon. This lasts for FIVE days. Then
they come back and live with the rest of
the tribe.
l am now travelling through the Fam
bales mountains with General Fred Grant
and his staff. We have a guard Of fifty Of
the brigade scouts under Lieutenant Frank
S. Burr. General Grant is making a tour
or inspection Of his military posts, which
are scattered over a large part of the CEN
trail valley of Luzon and through the noun
tains as far south as Manila bay. The
tour will last a week and it will include
some Of the widest country Of Luzon.
We are travelling on horseback and at
this moment are at Calang. in the very
heart of the mountains. Here our soldiers
have a camp which is as pristine as the
habitation OF Robinson Crusoe. The tents
are little structures OF hay and bamboo Just
large enough for the soldiers to crawl into
them. They are hidden by the high grass
and a troop OF insurrectos might stumble
upon them without knowing it. There are
about fifty soldiers in the camp, but the
mountains are full Of b~rigands and the men
are allowed to go nowhere without their
guns. There is a swimming pool nearby,
but the swimmers do not get far away
from the bank where their guns lie, and
while they are in bathing other soldiers
watch with loaded rifles.

well as the Americans, and 1t is only now
and then we can get near enough to learn
much about them. Not far from our

 Money is Curiously colored in the oil region" said gentleman from Beau mont Texas and during my recent ex- perience in the Texas city l could not really tell whether l was getting good money or bad half the time. The appear ance of the silver in circulation in and around Beaumont was revelation to me, hui, of course. mon who had been oil re- 2ionS befoie, where the very air is filled with gas. knew just why Il was. shiny dollars are really very rare now in the Texas oil belt. The black, oXidiZed doi-
 lar is the rule. The dimes. quarters and halves are black. It Is marvellous how quickly the silver will become oxidized. was talking to one of the men who was actively engaged in working at one of the wells. and just for my benefit he made d little experiment. He searched around until he got ncw-looking dollar-one that had just arrived and had not had e'to he affected by the oil and gas of the place. He put the dollar in his pock- ct and went to work at ono of the man. holes He did not remain there a great while. When he returned he pulled out the dollar and handed it 10 me for inspec- ton. IL was black enough and ii had not gotten out of his pocket until he gave il back to me The gas simply permeated the mans clothes, got into his pocket and when it struck the silver the necessity chemical processes were set in motion to leave the dollar colored. All the silver which has been at Beaumont for any length of time is in this condition. and the man who would draw the color llne on the dollars in the Texas oil belt would simply be unable to do business.

WHAT AN APPROPRIATION
In the River and Harbor Bill Did
 One Community.


 Savayard' Washington Letter to Louis
 vile Evening Post.
 mover hear a river and harbor bill discussed that I do not think of the prai- rie region of East Mississippi, extending from Okolona at the north to the NoX- ubee River at the south. There is one of the fairest lands under heavens azure, Goshen. It is by nature designed Tor the national dairy. There are found sweet violets in January and blushtng roses in March. The soil is 9s rich as Egypt and was intended for grains and grasses never for cotton. The colored population makes it a cotton country. It was the Rranary of the Confederacy. To save 1t Forrest made the most daring and most brilliant campaign of the war-his march to Memphis Ii Is the natural home of the Jersey COW, the Angora goat and the Southdown sheep. It ought to run the Elrin creamery oct of business. It ought to be the center of the American cheese industry. It ought to supply St. Louis Memphis and New Orleans with mutton and poultry and butter and eggs. some day the black helt of Mississippi will ind what 1t is fiji for.
 Ii was the carly 70s when carpet-bag- gerv and reconstruction had made that land desolate aud the owners of the soil desperate when the crime Of crimes due to the seutimentaiism of Charles Sumner and the maliGnity of Thaddeus Stevens had wrought its work of spoliation as completely, If not as bloodny. as an in vasion of Attilla or Tamerlane in other ges-it was in the early .Os that Her nando Desoto Money was chosen d rep resentatiye of that constituency in the Congress of the United States. In Wash ington MT.
