A Fashionable Marriage in Trlpeli


Nine Days i'm State After ihe


Ceremony.


From DR.. Jessup's Syrian Home Life.l


We called yesterday on the daughter
of Mohammedan living in this city
(Tripoli.)


Though the girl had been married sew
eral days she had never been seen by
her husband. He only had gone to the
mosque when the ceremony was per-
formed, she taking no part in it. After
the ceremony the bride usually stays at
her fathers house nine days, during
which time she sits in state, decked in
her finest dress and jewels, receiving
calls from her friends. Then her joy is
at an end. She must go to her husband,
take off her fine clothes, and become
perfect slave, subject to the will of her
master. The parents of this bride were
very poor. Her mother was dressed in
little better than rags, and was at the
tangua washing clothes. All the women
of the BRIDES company had their hair
plated full of gold coins; these were
heirlooms, and so greatly treasured that
a woman would almost starve sooner
than part with one. The present given
by the family to the bride was an elegant
pale blue brocade silk dress and black
silk embroidered with gold. The for
mer cost $3.50. The bridegroom's pre-
sents were sumptuous lilac silk, heavily
embroidered with gold; earrings Of
pearls and gold, bracelets as wide as
finger During the call she wore the
bridegroom presents. The other dresses
were hung spread out on the wall.


We stopped at a house below, accord
ing to custom, and sent word we were
coming The bride returned answer she
would be most happy to salute us. After
waiting about twenty minutes we went
upstairs, for she lived on the second
floor. She had not quite finished her
toilet, and sat on the floor before large
mirror, surrounded by her fnery. As
we entered she arose and saluted us, and
then returned composedly to her dress.
ing Of all the strange and ghastly
sights, her face was the most wonderful,
as may we'll be imagined from the way
which it was prepared.


First, hot wax was spread over the
whole face, which, when cool, was peeled
off. This was done to remove the hair
from the face. Then whiting was rubbed
on till the skin looked like marble. Her
eyebrows were painted JET black, her
lips and large spot on each cheek
painted brilliant red. On these red
spots, on her forehead and at the cor.
ners of her mouth gilt flowers were
pasted. Then over the whole face pow
dered sugar had been snapped, which
made il sparkle as with diamond
dust" She wore pearl earrings, and
around her neck were a string of large
amber beads three strings of roped
pearls and curious necklace, which we
were privately told was borrowed for the
occasion. 1t was made of gold five.
pound pieces, overlapping each other
like scales. The usual head dress was
covered with real and artificial flowers
The finishing touch was put Oh in the
shape of piece of black wax, heated
over the canoon till very hot, made
round, and fiat, and then stuck between
the eyes.

Wilson's Handbook for Advertisers.


In this, as in aught else, the best pa
pers will command the best prices. 1t
is cheaper to pay FIVE shillings for insert
ing your advertisements in journal
having a circulation of five thousand
than to pay two shillings for one that has
only circulation OF one thousand. of
this you may be sure, any journal that
inserts advertisements too cheap is in
fact an almost worthless medium. If it
were really good one it would have no
need to lower the prices, for its sheet
would be better filled without the sacri-
fee. You may lay it down as rule
that every journal knows lis value, and
that if it adopts low prices it is because
it is conscious that it has a low circula-
ton in number or respectability.

IT is only fair to tobacco to point out that it is gradually clearing itself from many of the serious charges brought against 1t. It has been frequently and consistently alleged that among other i'll effects Joe sides death and madness) produced by tobacco, is destruction of the teeth. This, it appears, is entirely mistake. Instead of tobacco causing the teeth to decay, it is the very best thing in the world for them, and those who wish to preserve their teeth should immediately take to smoking, If they have not already indulged in the habit. At a lecture on teeth, laughing gas and chemistry, as connected with den- tai surgery, delivered last month in Lon- don by Mir. Thomas Brown, the lecturer observed that it was popularly considered that the practice of smoking deteriorated the teeth. "There could," he added be mo greater fallacy. It was true that il some times discolored the teeth, but 1t did not cause decay; it prevented decay on ac- count of the disinfecting properties Of to- bacco smoke" This leaves the British Anti-tobacco Association and other kin dred bodies in disagreeable position for it destroys all confidence iii the awful predictions they are in the habit ot ut tering as to the fate of smokers. Ii tobac- co does not injure the teeth, but is In fact good for them, perhaps it does not shorten life but is even favorable to longevity.

THE recommendation by the Military Committee of the House ofRepresentatives of that telegraphic line be constructed along the southern boundary of Texas, is doubtless wise, for many events occurring on the border should be known at head quarters as soon as possible. But why not run the line across to Tucson, which is already connected by military wire with San Diego? New Mexico deserves con- sideration as we'll as Texas, and eastern Arizona also should be brought under the guardianship of the electric battery. With telegraphic line across the conti- nent about latitude g degrees, and a transfer of Cachise and his murderous gang to some suitable reservation, the southern route would bring to us many thousands of immigrants from Texas in a few years.-[Alta, May IA.

CARIBOU, Aug. 20, 1874.


DEAR SIR:-Your letter was received
last evening on my return from New Swed
en-, where 1, in company with n. s. Luf-
Kin, Esq. had spent the last seven DAYS in
travelling from house to house over the en-
tire colony, including Woodland, Perham
and Lyndon. We have not left one i'm
provement unnoticed. | have not visited
the colony but once or twice in two years.
l was very much surprised at the improve
ments which had been made in that time
Those who have had the least help are the
ones that are doing the best. We were
there during the frosty nights, which have
done but very little damage. Three
fourths of places do not show one mark
OF frost. Most of their crops are looking
splendid and are entirely out of danger
from frost Much of their grain has al
ready been cut, aud number of grists
threshed out ready for the mill. Every
man and woman was either harvesting
their grain or pilng for another crop.


There has been much said about the suf-
fering in New Sweden, and perhaps have
done as much towards exciting the peo
pie as any other man, for was really
alarmed for them. knew they had their
bread to buy this Summer, and they had.
In most cases, to buy with shingles. Shin
giles went down, and it was said traders
were not going TO buy, and that Messrs.
their store in New Sweden About this
time there was not one barrel of -four to be
bought in Caribou. Now think of it.
those people shut up away back there,
II.
with nothing but shingles to buy their
bread with. think that it was enough to
alarm most any people, Mcssrs. league
Il Sawin, however, changed their minds
and in few days put fifty barrels of flour
into New Sweden. Since that time all
have been mostly able to support them
selves with the exception of few sick
families and widows.


Most every family has one cow quite a
number have two; there as many COWS
in the colony as there are families. Their
cows look first rate, and it is a wonder to
me how they keep them looking so wei.


There have been some mistakes: one
was in allowing them TO settle on poor
lots. You will recollect what | said about
1t. that the success OF this colony depended
more upon their location than any one
thing. Those that are well located are
doing well and are hopeful, while Others
are disappointed.


AS whole, it is success, in my mind.
The colony has raised ten months bread
this season sure. l made particular in
quiry of every family how they were get
ting along, and whether they were dis
satisfied or not Their answer was invari-
ably that they were satisfied and had no
wish to leave the county.


Most respectfully yours,

concerning several prominent New York
Editors. 1T is a rather singular fact that
so many OF the editors of this city are iv-
ing in state of bachelordom. Bennett.
the immensely rich editor and proprietor
of the New York Herald. Is a solitary
bachelor, though he will soon be forty


Reid. the editor ofthe Tribune. is a soli-
tary bachelor, though he is somewhere
about forty. Marble. the editor of the
World, is a solitary widower of forty; aud


his most brilliant staf writer, Hurlbu IS
a solitary bachelor, though under h..y.
Bundy, the editor of the Mail. is Il soli-
tary bachelor. though over forty. Con-
don of the Tribune, is solitary widower
of over fifty, and in fact, on the daily Press
alone could certainly name score of
leading men who are about forty and wife
less. OF the editors named Bennett is the
wealthest and most athletic; Reid is the
ablest and skillful; Marble is the hand
soonest and calmest; and Hurlburt is the
most thoroughly polished man of the
world. l must warn young or middle
aged maiden ladies looking forward to
matrimonial bliss to avoid these bachelor
editors, because presume such warning
will send scores of these maidens in pur-
suit of them. | wonder that some of them
do not find wives among the intellectual
ladies who write for their papers, or try to


write for them. Such unions might be ex-
pected to provide very blainy successors
to the present editors in the natural order.
