PROPOSALS OP MARRIAGE.
You will -find no end of curious
things written about the marriage
proposals, says a writer in Demo
rest's Monthly ; if you search for
that purpose. For instance, that
eccentric classical character who
goes into the kitchsu of a neigh
bor some morning, and, finding
the object of his regard at the
wash tub, proposes bluntly then
and there. Instead of emptying
its contents upon him, she as
bluntly accepts his proposal.
There is the bashful suppliant,
who turns down some leaf about a
passage usually a sacred one
which tells his story for him, and
the answer is returned in similar
fashion. There is the proposal at
a ball or dinner b a slip of paper
sent across the room or table, and
there is the one in which the re
ply is asked in the form of some
specified and understood signal.
In some book that I have read, an
English gentleman who had sever
al eligible daughters wondered,
after waiting some years for such
an event, wiry none of them, not
even the prettiest, got a proposal.
When he investigated tho matter
thoroughly he found that the fail
ure arose from an architectural
blunder. The rooms of his house
were so connected together b a
series of open doors and spacious
mirrors that the question could
not be put without exposing it to
almost as much specularity as it
would obtain on a public thorough
fare. It is quite common for very
young ladies to say that their first
serious interest in any young gen
tlemen is aroused by his previous
interest in them confessing, in
other words, that they have no or
iginal feeling in the matter. They
would not, probably, like to say
whatatnounts.toAthesame.thihg?
that one gentleman is as likable
or as agreeable to them as another,
though they must constantly act
as if it were so, until some partic
ular gentlemen breaks the spell
and gives them permission to say
otherwise. But, what if the
righteous one should never break
the spell, as often happens? Or
what, if neither the right nor the
wrong one does, and no opportu
nity ever comes? As the system
is now arranged this is not at all a
rare circumstance, nor is the lady
less worthy, necessarily than her
differently favored sisters. She
ma' even be more worthy, but
may have lived more quietly, or
may be deficient simply in that
peculiar art of fascinating, which
even silence cannot prevent from
being powerful.
One of the worst features of
this unmitigated silence, which is
imposed upon one sex alone, is the
insincerity and hypocrisy which it
not only inculcates, but places a
premium upon. Nothing irritates
a woman so much as to have any
ground given for a suggestion
that she has gone a step out of
her way to secure a gentleman's
interest or attention. She -would
rather be won by a peasant than
move the least bit aggressively to
win a prince. Her natural feel
ings are smothered and suppressed
and she accepts the artifice which
she must put on, as it were both
reasonable and natural.
If anyone wishes to grow fleshy,
a pint of milk taken on retiring at
night will soon cover the scraw
niest bones. Although we see a
good many fleshy persons now
adays, there are a great many
lean and lank ones, who sigh for
the fashionable measure of plump
ness, and who would be vastly im
proved in health and appearance
could their forms be rounded with
good solid flesh. Nothing is
more coveted by a thin woman
than a full figure, and nothing
will so rise the ire and provoke
the soandal of the "clipper-build"
as the consciousness of plumpness
in a rival. In case of fever and
summer complaint, milk is now
given with excellent results. The
idea that milk is feverish has ex
ploded, and it is now tho physi
cian's great reliance in bringing
through typhoid patients, or those
'in too, low a state to be nourished
by aolid food.
By Mall and Telegraph.
General Cook is about to make
an aggressive campaign against
the Apaches, with the laudable
intention of "wiping them out" if
possible.
The funeral of the late Peter
Cooper was yesterday attended by
thousands to whom the death of
the aged philanthropist was felt a
a personal loss.
At the Grand Army encamp
ment in Des Moines, Iowa, on the
otb, a resolution was passed thank
ing General Logan for resisting the
application of FitJohn Porter for
restoration to the army.
A dispatch from Switzerland
says the emigration to America is
alarming. Several districts are
beinsr denonulated. Failure of
crops and American competition
are given athe cause.
Tho annual report of the Mexi
can Central road to the govern
ment states that the company in
tends building a line from the
city of Mexico to the United
States and complete it next year.
The net profit of the Mexican
division last year was 130,375.
Commenting on the alleged dis
covery of dynamite in the possession
of Irish suspects in England, the
Dublin Freeman's Journal of
the Gth,says: "It is the duty of every
honest and honorable Irishman to
reprobate and denounce this
species of deviltry, which can only
end in the alienation of all good
men from their support of the na
tional cause, and cause collapse
and ruin and disgrace to the cause
itself."
Announcement was made in
San Francisco last Friday, of the
sale of the Western Fur company
to the Alaska Commercial compa
ny, thus giving to that compauy a
anonopolyHbf the mainland of the
Alaska fur trade, as well as of the
islands. The Western company
was an English organization and
confined its operations exclusively
to the mainland, but has been un
able to compete with the Alaska
Commercial company, which now
acquires a monopoly in the fur and
seal business in Alaska.
J. S. Hallett informs a News re
porter that he is through with the
Clarke's Fork division of the
Northern Pacific railroad, now,
and discharged his men, 5,500 in
all, on the 31st ult. The road is
finished up to and track laid over
the last crossing of Pen d'Oroille.
There are yet 2CC miles to finish,
143 of which are on this side of
the tunnel and have been graded
about half that distance, during
the past year by tho contractors.
In the Clarke's Fork division, all
but eight miles had to be ballast
ed. In addition to this there had
to be nine miles of trestle work
put up, which took 10,000,000 feet
of cedar and tamarack.

Wo take pleasure in stating
that the great German Remedy,
St. Jacoby Oil, is being used by
many ring artists now engaged
with P. T. Barnum's GrcatestShow
on Earth, united with the Great
London Circus, Stranger's Royal
British Menagerie and the Interna
tional Allied Shows. From its
happy effect upon those who have
occasion to employ it, we have no
hesitation in pronouncing St. Ja
cobs Oil the best liniment which
has ever been brought to our no
tice. It is wonderfully efficacious
in subduing pain.
BarnuMjBaily & Hutchinson.
Two years ago the letter G as
an initial indicated the leading
men in four or five leading nations
of the world, Garfield in the
United States, Gladstone in Eng
land, Gambetta in France, and
Gortchakoff in Russia. Now all
are gone except Gladstone, and,
advanced in .years as he is, his
tenure in life mav any dav be cut
off.
The following gem of descrip
tive writing was penned by an
Illinois reporter, in his description
of a recent wedding, he says:
"The mayor galooted up the

Too Much Dreaming.
A New lorker who spent
several weeks in the Black Hills
country last fall met with some
rare chances as soon as he left
Denver. The first party took him
aside and bpgan:
"Say, stranger, are you after a
mine. '
"Well, perhaps."
"Do you want the biggest spec
in the west?"
"I might take it."
"Then you lay low. A sick
man over here has dreamed three
times running of finding the
richest silver mine in the world,
and I'll get all the directions as
how to find it for $500 cash
down."
The offer was not excepted, and
within a few hours a second part
had a "find" on his hand that his
brother had dreamed out. The
third mau wanted to sell his fath
er's dream for 200 and the fourth
had a dream of his own to sell for
spot cash. When the fifth one
began negotiating the New Yorker
cut him short with:
"Say, don't do it; you are the
fifth man who has tried the dream
business on me this week. Don't
you do anything but dream out
here?"
"Well, there's a good deal
of dreaming around this locality."
placidly answered the mau "in
fact, too much of it. If some of
the boys don't quit the business 1
reckon I'll have to go back to salt
ing up mines and selling out to
Chinamen."
A Georgia paper says that at
tho outbreak of the war two com
panies from that State, the Cobb
Infantry and the Gilmore Blues,
started out with the same number
of men, had the same number kill
ed, the same number wounded,
the same number dead from nat
ural causes and the same numbe
dbad from wounds.
A party is now out surveying
the proposed new route from Rock

Sa', kind reader, did you ever
notice the poor man in the front
of the almanac, surrounded by all
manner of beasts? Did you never
take particular notice of his sad
condition, how he stands there,
not knowing what to do? Well,
that poor fellow was once an
editor, and lived to rue the day on
which he was born. The people
who complained most of his paper
were those who never paid their
subscriptions, and he became
"busted."
