A QUEER PROPOSAL.
How a Cow Figured In Ono Lovo Affair.
Observations on the Subject of "Popping the Question"—No Man Seems Exactly to Remember How It Was
Accomplished.
"IIow did you get engaged to your wife?" The question was put by a writer for the Star to one of tho substantial family men of Washington—one of those excellent men who has a blooming wife, five blooming children, and a business that keeps on blooming more brilliantly year after year, lie says he is poor, and so he is when he is compared with the plutocrats of the city, but he is Bolidly, substantially rich all the same. When he dies, if his wife survives him, she will have an income amply sufficient for the proper education of the five blooming children, and when she dies they will all have incomes—not vast estates which will make it impossible for them to do anything on earth but live a life of pleasure, but incomes that will help in establishing them in the useful walks of life. It is the people of this type that make up tho body and strength of the community, rather than tho enormously wealthy class that lives only for pleasure, the drawing-room and "style." But it is not of money that this article would treat, but of the various methods of getting engaged and so the questjjn was asked of this sqfe. family: "IJ.ow din- you
twi °|i ft
stantial man get engaged "3v—mfcan "promptly. "What? I must have misunderstood you," said the writer. "I did not ask you how you got milk for your family, but how you got engaged to tho lady who is now your wife." "lly means of a cow," he answered again. lie was prevailed upon to explain and told a very singular, unique and touching story of love, solemn promises, happiness and a cow. Here is the tale reduced to moderate length. The gentleman may, for convenience, be termed
:our "tvife?' a cow," he answered,
asB
Mr. X. and the lady Miss Y. Mr. X., when he was twenty-four years of age, went to stay with his uncle at his country place on the eastern shoro of Maryland. Having said that he had relations who lived on tho eastern shore, it has been said that he was of most aristocratic lineage, for everybody knows that the families of that portion of the earth's surface are all of the very best Virginia itself is not more noted for families than the famous eastern shore. In fact, if a geography were called upon to truthfully say what is the principal product of the eastern shore it would be obliged to say "old families." Young X. found at his uncle's house a young Virginia girl, Miss Y. X. had nothing in the world to do, nor had Miss Y., so they killed time by falling in love with each other. It is not a bad amusement in the country. You can read poetry together, sit on porches together, take walks in the dusk together. The man is pretty sure of no rivals, the girl is in no danger of having the man enticed away from her. X. and Miss Y. had a glorious time for two weeks and one of their favorite amusements ever}- evening was to stroll down to the pasture and watch the milking of the cows.
There was one cow in particular of which the youth and the maid grew very fond. She was a young Jersey— Alderney was the term used then—the color of a fawn, with a glossy, beautiful coat and eyes as gentle and soft in their expression as Miss Y.'s own. As Bho would stand in the cool of the evening lazily whisking the flies with her tail she would permit the young couple to approach her and stroke her or scratch her forehead. There is nothing particularly romantic in the act of scratching a gentle cow between the hornB, but it happened that one day as X. stretched out his hand to perforin this pleasing act of friendship to the heifer his hand met Miss Y.'s, and the cow, moving back as if impressed with tho conviction that she was spoiling fun, left them hand in band in the corner of tho pasture. After that they never missed a day in the pasture and they always caressed the Jersey cow, until one day X.'s uncle, joining them, said joeosely: "You young people seem so fond of that cow that I shall have to give her to one of you." "To which of us?" said X. "Ah!" said the uncle, "you must settle that between you."
When the old gentleman went off, looked at Muss Y. and said, simply:
"Can my uncle givo the cow. to both of us?" And she quietly answered: "Yes."
And so this substantial citizen became engaged, as ho truly said, through the agency of a cow.
There are a thousand ways of popping the question, and upon careful inquiry it has been ascertained that the method which is usually employed upon tho stage and in novels is tho most uncommon. Let the reader who is over twen-ty-one stop and consider a moment how lie made the various proposals of his life. Did he sink down on one knee and clasping tho young girl by the hand frantically shriek out: "Be minol Bo mine!" Did he then start in and tell her of his long years of adoration how he never could love anyone else how the sun of his being rose and set in her how she was his heaven, and if she said no he must inevitably take an instantaneous flight for the other place? Did he, when she made murmurs of dissent indignantly cast her hand away from him as though it was a tennis-ball, and demand the name of his rival? Did ho cover his face with his hands and sob and scrapc his toes along the carpet as he walked up and down the parlor? Did he. when she began to yield, rush at her with the speed of a professional sprinter, seize her around the waist, and pour forth a royal octave volume of impassioned rhetoric? This is the way they do in novels and plays, but in real life people of experience say it is different. It is hard to tell whether the girl or the man is tho moro frightened. Both know it is coming, lie doesn't know what he says, lie had made up a speech beforehand, but of course he forgets it but it makes no difference. Sho has her mind made up. All the eloquence in the world isn't going to do any good if she has determined to say "no." She may not mean "no" at all, but sho generally says so. She only wants him to como again often. As for sinking down on one knee, or both knees, authorities on "popping" say it is never done—that not much which is worth remembering is said on either side.
Perhaps it is better that the books and plays should be artificial in this matter. There is hardly a printed account which contains a true confession of what a man said and what a woman replied when he proposed and she acccptcd him. There are, however, a few of the love letters of great men in print. Now, either these letters were written with the supposition that they might at some day be printed, in which case they are of 110 value except as pieces of literary composition, or else, being intended for the eye of one person alone, they ought not to be given to the public. Who ever read Bulwer's love letters without a feeling of disgust? He runs riot on paper, loses his senses entirely, signs himself "Your Idolatrous Puppy," and commits a thousand absurdities. But why should a man not be absurd when lie is writing to the one woman I10 loves? To write love letters with the fear before you of their being subsequently published would be like proposing with" a stenographer to take down your speech. And to-print real love letters written honestly is like listening and overhearing a proposal. Your eavesdropping might be exciting and interesting, but if you did as you ought to do you would not listen, or having overheard through accident you would not go away and tell everybody about itr—that is, you would not if you were a good man and cared anything about doing to others what you would have them do to you.
Did you ever know a man who told all he said when he proposed to the girl whom he subsequently married? A rejected man may "give the thing away" apparently, but he does not tell it all, you may depend upon it, and an accepted man may tell you what led up to it, as in the case of the gentleman who became engaged through the agency of a cow, but an absolutely correct report of all the nonsense spoken on occasions of this kind would be something that no man could bring himself to repeat, and, if it were repeated, it would be very disagreeable to listen to. The wliolo thing would appear painfully ludicrous, but it is not ludicrous to the parties in interest. It is serious always, painful frequently, and sometimes, as everybody knows, very tragic.
All these remarks apply especially to the lovemaking of young people. When an old stager proposes he may bo calm and collected. It is the voice of experience that speaks, and if he is rejected he may take it quietly enough, for in all probability he has proposed several times before. There aro some old bachelors who are chronic proposers. There aro some old flirts who may bo depended upon not only to make love to any woman who will give them a chance to do so, but who will bo sure to propose, too. These men mean it, but they don't mean it very long, and women understand them and will have none of them. It Is the fair sex that is the stronger in matters of this kind. The unhappy marriages are numerous enough, but if women were as weak as men there would be a much larger number of silly matches.
Now, strange as it may seem, there is no doubt that the most successful proposer is the man who does it clumsily. When a man speaks well and calmly and gives a woman good reasons for marrying him—argues the matter just as though he were pleading a cause in court—the woman doesn't believe he is in earnest. It is not a case that is governed by reasonable argument, and appeals to the brain are not what sho cares about The appeal must be made to the heart lie stands a good chance of success as soon as he convinces her that his heart is thoroughly in earnest —Washington Star.

PERSONAL AND LITERARY.
—Baroness Burdette-Coutts clings to the old-fashioned idea that black is unlucky color to wear at a wedding. Her favorite weddlnggov/n is a bright sapphire-blue velvet, with a wonderful mixture of feathers and fur as headgear. —The prince and princess of Wales have decided to erect a monument to the duke of Clarence in the chancel of Sandringham church, and the queen intends to place a statue of her grandson in the Prince Consort's mausoleum at Frogmore. —R. C. Brown, who went to Colorado in 1S39 without a dollar, lias now nearly completed at Denver the finest hotel west of the Mississippi, which will cost him $1,500,000. A quarter section of land, which he entered thirty years ago for 8200, is to-day worth $5,000,000. —Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher says that a woman can do her own housework, be her own dressmaker and, incidentally, bring up a family of children, accomplishing all in a satisfactory manner if she be upheld by the thought that her husband's love and trust are placed upon her. —The kings of Saxony and Wurtemburg and the prince regents of Bavaria and Brunswick have subscribed 1,000 marks apiece to the fund for a national monument to Prince Bismarck. The amount subscribed in Prussia is 488,700 marks, of which 169,900 has been raised in Berlin. —Genial George Grossmith says that he was recently being shown over a hall in a certain town, and the hall porter kept digging him with his finger when he wished to emphasize a remark. This at last got on Grossmith's nerves, and he expostulated. "Beg pardon, sir," remarked the official, "but I've seen better times." —Napoleon was one day searching for a book in the library at Malmaison, and at last discovered it on a shelf somewhat above his reach. Marshal Moncey, who was presentr-one of the tallest men in the army—stepped forward, saying: "Permit me, sire lam higher than your majesty." "You are longer, marshal," said the emperor, with a frown. —The queen of Denmark has, perhaps, more orders than most royal women. She is a grand commander of the order of the Dannebrog, a very high order, which is rarely conferred even upon sovereigns. In addition to this the queen holds the Russian order of Catharine, the Spanish Marie Louise order, the Portuguese order of Isabella, the Hessian order of the Golden Lion, the Russian Red Cross and the English order of St. John. The king of Denmark has forty-four foreign orders. —Some curious stories are current about Mr. Iludyard Kipling as a boy. lie had a habit of seeing visions, whicli was somewhat puzzling and surmist to his guardians.

He was finally taken in hand by an oculist, and was ordered to wear the spectacles which he has used ever since, and which have more efl'ectually banished his apparitions than all the beating he gave to that bush.

EVOLUTION IN VEHICLES.
The Progress in Modes of Tranait Up to the Present Time.'
An Interesting Kxlillilt for the Columbian Exposition—The Sledges or t,lo Ancients mid tho Sufcties of To-D»y.
One feature which the department of transportation will bring to the front in the Columbian exposition is the evolution of vehicles of locomotion. This will be shown with great accuracy to detail, tho only carriages or means of land transportation to be omitted being the railways. In connection with this all appliances associated with these vehicles or necessary to their operation will also be exhibited. Tho crude con structions of the builders of almost prehistoric times and those still in use in savage and semi-civilized lands will be grouped so as to bring into startling contrast the great improvements which characterize the means of locomotion employed in the present day
Willard Smith, chief of the depart mcnt of transportation, has already de voted a good deal of work to research as to tho earliest vehicles used by man. Rough hewn logs or planks dragged along the earth were probably the first sledges used for tlie transportation of heavy burdens. Then the use of rollers was discovered. The immense blocks of stone used in the construction of the pyramids and temples of Egypt wen moved from the quarries in this manner. The first sledgo of which there is any authentic account is seen pictured in the sculpture on a temple at llebes. This sledge had long runners, turned up in front and strengthened by numerous cross pieces. Later on rollers were discovered, and from them came the wheels, which at first revolved with the axle and then independent of it. Few original examples of these early contrivances can be found, but an effort will be made to secure what there are.
The first carriages will also be exhibited in the original when possible, by pictures when tho originals cannot be secured. For this purpose the imperial ,tables of Russia form an almost inexaustible source of supply. In these [tables aro tho carriages and sledges ,ed by the successive sovereigns for jnerations. Among these is the cargo of Catherine the Great, which cost ,vrly one million dollars, and is studwith precious stones. Another is a ge made by Peter the Great, the royal enter, with liis own hands.
