A Powerful Endorsement.

Many years ago there was consider
able illness in Harrisburg, which was
attributed to the waters Of the Susque-
hanna river, then the source Of the city

legislature for that year, upon his re-
turn to his constituents, was inter
viewed concerning the plague. He
soon settled the question. Upon my

THE NEGRIT0S.
Odd Marriage Ceremony. Of These
Barbarous Little People.


Belonging as they do to the lowest
type Of civilization as yet discovered,
the Negritos Of Malaysia and their
ways are well worth studying. Simple,
primitive, barbarous little people, their
customs are those Of prehistoric man.
They have no fixed home OF settle
ments, but are wanderers over their
mountainous islands, sleeping under
banana leaf, living on herbs and Der
ries and game.
Their marriage ceremony is unique
survival Of early life. The suitor and
q few companions dance about the
shelter Of the desired girl. There is
curious resemblance between the
dances Of the prospective bridegroom
and those of many Of the game birds
of our woodland Finally the girl, &C.
companied by her mother, starts to-
ward the dwelling of the young men.
They frequently stop, squatting IN the
trail while the ardent sutton and his
companions continue their entreating
and bewitching dances, winding round
and round the girl. Presents are gen.
orally demanded and must be given
before the reluctant bride, will pro
coed. Finally the women arrive near
a steep bamboo platform. A wild
shout pierces the air, and the bride
groom. like q freIEied animal. tears
through the Negritos assembled at the
base of the platform, snatches the
bride In his arms and flies up the in
cline with his mate, where they sit
during the wedding feast.-New York

A Duel In Which Neither Principal
Could Sec tho Other.

The most laughable duel ever fought
In November, 1873, at ssis-Piquet
between Messrs. Gambetta and De
Fourtou.
Some heated words had passed be-
tween the two distinguished gentlemen
in the chamber of deputies, for which.
according to their Ideas Of honor, moth
ing could atone except a duel. The
men met therefore on the field at
tended by their seconds and the sur
geons.
A look over the field was enough to
convince any one. present that there
would be no occasion for the doctors
services A thick, November fog hung
over the scene-so thick, tnseed that
one could hardly see his hand before
his face. The arrangements for the
duel required that 1t should be fought
at thirty-fve PAGES.
Nor was the fog the only circum-
stance that tended to place the COM
batants out of sight of each other. On
the way to the field NJ. de Fourtou Is
reported to have said:
IN. Gambetta has but one eye, and
am shortsighted, so the game will
be about even."
1t was. Of course, rendered still more
''even" by the fog. Neither man could
see the other, and the sole danger was
to the seconds and>the doctors.

that were exchanged missed the per
