THE WEDDING MARCH.

“No. 329—A Wedding March.” Such ■was the number and name of a picture in the Academy of a certain year which shall, for politic and personal reasons, be left undesignated. The picture was one of my painting ; and I, Reginald'Tracy, had been fortunate enough to attain three very important ends by its production. Firstly, it was deemed excellent enough by the Hanging Committee to be placed on the line, and it faced you in a very prominent manner as you entered Room No. 5. Secondly, this prominent position secured for my picture a large share of attention which resulted in its finding a purchaser almost as soon as the Exhibition doors opened. But thirdly, it served the actual purpose for which I painted it, and which led me to choose my subject. That purpose involved just the I least bit of romance; and although the ’ clever critics praised the picture, and even hinted that, “ Mr. Tracy had been singularly fortunate in his treatment of a somewhat unusual and difficult theme,” etc., not one of them so much as guessed that it was a picture with a purpose. As the sequel may serve to show, that purpose sprang from and ended in what I am pleased to call my little romance. It was a charming day, that on which I went to Rockhampton to sketch the water meadows, and to see my old friend, Dr. James Brooke—Jim, I generally called him—who had settled as a practitioner in that town. The whole place was steeped in sunlight; and the deep shadows cast by the old ..ouscs in the narrow streets by the waterside reminded one of nothing so much as the blackness of the shades in some old Dutch town, where Rembrandt must have learned the special art that bears the impress of his g. nius to-day. The old church of Rockhampton is a fine bit of Norman architecture. Rising architects declare that there are no purer pillars of that style, or better preserved arches, with their queer faces squeezed into the corners thereof, and which seem to impress the Rockhampton juveniles on Sundays quite as much as the service. ‘Passing through the churchyard, I found myself at last at the church. With little hope of finding the door open I lifted the latch, when at once it yielded to my touch. As I passed within the green baize doors within the porch, I heard the sound of the organ; so stealing quietly into the grateful shade and coolness of the church, I ensconced myself in the biggest pew I could find and listened. How soothing was the effect of the music and surroundings on that glorious day ! I could not see the player, who was concealed by the curtains in front of the organ-loft, but intuitively I guessed it was a lady who played. I imagined that only a woman’s delicate touch could have made that “ Kyrie ” speak in these tones; and there was more gentleness than power in the “Stal;at Mater ” into which the player glided. Then I remember the “Wedding March ” succeeded ; and after half an hour's private hearing of the masters, I quietly slipped out of church, once again into the g ad sunlight that played around the gravestones, and made the world so fair to .- ee.

After lunching at my hotel, the Red Lion, I went to see Dr. Jim. It appeared that the fair player of the church was a Miss Spalding, and the only daughter of a well-to-do and retired merchant who had settled at Rockhampton some eighteen months before; and Jim, I found, had been paying his addresses to the young lady. Her father had married for the second time and had thus given Miss Spaulding a stepmother. The old gentleman, as Jim called him, was an easy-going man kind-hearted in every way, generous to’ fault, and looked kindly enough on Dr. Jim’s suit. But as to Mrs. Spalding, Jim pronounced a decidedly unfavorable opinion. She was an ambitious, and as he expressed it, scheming woman, who thought that Nelly should look somewhat higher than Dr. Brooke of Rockhampton and that she should at least marry money—with which latter commodity Jim was, as a young doctor of com so, by no means over-burdened. Without notuadv discouraging Jim’s attentions, Mrs. Spalding made things decidedly unpleasant for the lovers. Mr., Spalding, good, easy man, was completely under the dominion of his wife. Hence, Jim confessed, he was in a somewhat unsettled state of mind. “You see. Regy,” said Jim, “Nelly will not disobey her parents in any way. That she cares for me she has confessed to me more than once. But when I press her to consent to bo married at on cd, and to make me happy, she won’t hear of it.’’ “My dear Jim,” I responded, in my new-found capacity of guide, counsellor and friend, “ she is not the first girl who has had to struggle between love and duty ; or at least what she conceives to be her duty. ” “She is so thoroughly conscientious,” replied Jim, “that! fear even to press her to take the step which would make me a happy man for life. When I ask her in my despair whether she wi'l ever choose between her step-mother’s wishes and my love, she implores me not to tempt her ; and so,” added Jim, “ here I am ; miserable as need be.” All this interested me exceedingly. She was evidently a girl of sterling worth and with a high sense of the duty she believed she owed to her parents’ wishes. I thought over Mister Jim’s love affair as I lay in bed that night, and came to the conclusion that the case was a difficult one. You can not always mould human minds to your own bent, and purpose by simply speaking. Hence I came to the conclusion that Miss Spalding’s love for my old friend ought to be tested and tried in some way. As my expe rience of human nature goes, there seems nothing like putting love, of all human emotions, to some rigid test. But how the test could be applied to the case in which I had thus been led to feel a special interest I knew not. I confessed as I rolled over to sleep that I did not see my way clear to help them. Little did I think that the morrow was to bring the means and the man. The man was Josiah Blagden, E quire, iron founder, of tho firm of Blagden & Co., of Birmingham and elsewhere ; the means was—my humble self. The day after my arrival at Rockhampton Jim proposed that I should drive with him on his morning round, and added he : •• We ll ca'l at Mount Grove on our way home.” Mount Grove was the residence of Mr. Spalding ; and two o’clock found us at the gate of a Very nice vjllq, residence, overlooking the river, and standing within its own nicely kept grounds, ’ '

We were ushered into the drawingroom, where we found assembled certain persons whom Jim had not expected tc see. Mr. Spalding received me courteously, as also did Mrs. Spalding. Miss Nelly greeted me most cordially, adding that she was much pleased to make the acquaintance of Dr. Brooke’s old friend of whom he so often spoke. In addition to the family circle of three, it was clear there were strangers present. These latter were Mr. Josiah Blagden and his sister. Mr. Blagden did not impress me favorably. He was a stout, florid-com-plexioned man, remarkable for the extreme breadth of his white waistcoat and for the profusion of jewelry displayed thereon.

“A safe man, my dear sir; a very safe man,” said Mr. Spalding to me at lunch. “Why, I suppose his turn-oyer is about half a million a year—the iron trade, you know,” added the old gentleman by way of explaining that Mr. Blagden was one of the metal-kings of England. “ Self-made man too,” sail Mr. Spalding ; “began life as a foundry-boy.” Brom what I saw of Mr. Blagden within the next few weeks, his origin could have been pretty accurately guessed from the manner in which he imparted the “foundry-boy’s” manners into the sphere in which his industry and success had led him. He was essentially a vulgar man, who bullied his sister, a meek, silent little weman, with a good heart and a kindly nature, as I discovered later on. As we drove home from lunch that day Jim was strangely depressed. I guessed his thoughts pretty accurately, for he burst out into a tirade against Mrs. Spalding on our arrival at home. “I shouldn’t wonder, Regy,” said he, “if that fellowßlagden has been invited down here as a suitor for Nelly. He’s a friend of Mrs. Spalding’s, I know, because she herself comes from the ‘ Black Country.’ ” Jim’s state of mind, from the moment he broached this theory, may be better imagined than described. For the next three weeks I am bound to say that his temper was well nigh unendurable. One evening at dinner at Mount Grove, I felt half afraid he was going to inflict personal chastisement upon Mr. B'agden: a feat I should have much rejoiced to have seen skillfully performed, after the iron master’s coarse invectives against the medical profession, which had been called forth during some argument concerning doctors’ fees. Nelly’s attitude toward Jim appeared to have undergone no perceptible change. She was loving and gentle as before ; but I fancied that Mrs. Spalding contrived dexterously to keep Miss Blagden and Nelly as frequently together as possible; and thus Jim’s tete-a-tetes were reduced to a miserable minimum. Worst of all, as Jim remarked to me one day, Nelly had confessed that her step mother had on more than one occasion hinted that Mr. Blagden’s visits and stay were not solely prompted by friendship to her parents. Mrs. Spalding was, in other words, a clever woman, playing a nice little game of diplomacy, and while keeping on the most friendly terms with Jim, was to my mind furthering her own aims and ideas of a matrimonial alliance for Nelly with the elderly iron-founder. I know that most of my readers will say that Miss Spalding should have settled the matter for herself, and have given Mr, Blagden to understand that his attentions were unwelcome and hopeless. But as I remarked before, we are not all cast in one mold ; and the most loving nature’s may sometimes be coerced bi what seems to be their duty, into selfsacrifice of the most unreasonable kind, and which can only entail misery in the end.

So things went on at Rockhampton, with diplomacy at Mount Grove, and despair at No. 14 High street, where Dr. James Brooke announced his willingness to relieve the afflicted dailv from ten tc eleven a. m., and from six to eight p. m. I had been sitting cogitating over mat ters one evening at the Red Lion—Jim having been called to a distant part ol his parish—when an idea, founded, 1 believe, on a quotation from an old French author, occurred to me. The quotation was to the effect that, “ when moral suasion fails from any cause tc change an opinion, it is lawful to appeal to the most trivial of our emotions.” Happy idea ! thought I. I shall see whether or not I can work it out to the advantage of Dr. James Brooke and—shall I add it?—to the confusion of Josiah. Blagdon, Enquire. My plans were then rapidly matured. Morning, noon and night finds me busy in the old church. lam hard at work on a canvas in which the interior of the edifice grows under my brush day by day. There are no sounds of the “Kyrie" now ; nor are the jubilant strains ol Mendelssohn heard, as on a bright sunny day not so far gone by. Nelly does not come to practice her old favorites as of yore. Blagden, I know, hates music; and painters, as he once expressed it—in shocking bad taste—are usually “a seedy lot.” I remember Mr. Josiah’s white vest and cable chain, with enough apnendages attached thereto to have set up a small jeweler in a thriving way of business. The aisle and galltry of the church are now complete in my picture. I paint it as I sit in the aisle ; in the distance you can see the altar and chancel; and the vicar, who looks in upon me occasionally, says it is as like as can be. He is curious, however, to know the nature of the figures I have sketched roughly in. There is a group passing down the aisle from the altar-rails where the vicar can still be seen at his post ; and there is a figure standing alone and solitary in a pew, as if facing the advancing party. The vicar cannot quite fathom the design. The church he can understand; but the meaning of the picture puzzles him. I bid him wait patiently for the solution of the mystery.

When my study of the church was completed, I went home to the Red Lion, and there I painted in my figures. There was little need for models, for my sketch-book was full of studies. Turning to my picture, now progressing rapidly, I find that there are heads of two elderly men, and there is a careful sketch of a young man’s face likewise. There is a fair girl’s face and a matronly countenance, and another face which seems not unlike that of Miss Blagden. At last, my task is completed. The picture is a mere “study,” but it is a careful study withal. The old church you recognize ata glance; the figures—well, we shall see. The vicar has been busily spreading a report that I have been painting pictures of the church, and there is curiosity to see them. I now propose that one fine day a very few of my Rockhampton friends shall comes to see my work. The circle is very select. I have invited only Mr. and Mrs. Spalding, the great Josiah, Miss Blagden and Jim. I contrive, with a diplomatic cunning for which 1 have not before given myself credit, that Nelly Spalding shall be admitted to a private view. She herself bps been all anxiety to see the picture, and I pretend that by great favor she shall see it before any one else. Mine host of Red Lion has prepared a nice little luncheon, even to some dry Pommery, which ‘ ‘the great Josiah ” —as I have been accustomed to call him, possibly from the magnitude of his waistcoats—says he dotes upon. I make a malicious and unkind but perfectly just mental suggestion that in early life “ the great Josiah ” was better acquainted with the merit of “ ’alf-and-’alf” than dry champagne. Mine host has done his best; and now I wait my guests. I feel nervous and excited; why, I can hardly tell; but I confess to myself that I shall be glad when my little symposium is over. Here at last. They troop up stairs into the large room where my luncheon is spread. Mr. Josiah is looking very large to-day. There is an air of jubilant triumph about him fts he bustles about Jfelly, assisting hcs in taking off he?

wraps and saying “ nothings ” which are anything but “soft,” as the great man expresses them. To me, his air is simply patronizing. Mrs. Spalding is gracious as usual; and Mr. Spalding seems to regard the near prospect of lunch with more evident satisfaction than he does the prospect of an artistic treat. Mr. Bladgen suggests we had better step in to see the picture—lunch has evidently its attraction for “ the great Josiah. But I tell him I wait Dr. Brooke, at which announcement he subsides. Then I sugguested to Miss Nelly that, with her mothers’s permission, she may now have the picture all to herself for a momentary peep. Mrs. Spalding, who is deep with Miss Bladgen in the mysteries of the manufacture of rhubarb-jam, readily consents. Nelly follows me into the room where my picture stands covered with a crimson cloth on my easel. I close the door and unveil it. Nelly glances at it for a moment; then growing deadly pale sinks half-fainting—not into my arms, but into those of Dr. James Brooke, who has most opportunely come upon the scene. In speechless astonishment he gazes at me, but he too seems as if he were going to repeat Nelly’s procedure as he glances at the picture. “For heaven’s sake, Regy,” says Jim in a hoarse voice, “ cover that picture up!” Nelly opened her eyes in a moment oi two, which seemed to me like an age. Jim had employed the interval in a fashion not unfamiliar to lovers, I believe. And when she did open her eyes, it was to clasp Jim around the neck, and her words were few but decided: “Jim, dear! I can never, never marry that man ! I will do whatever you wish me to. But oh ! they have tried me so !” What is it in my picture that has so perturbed the lovers, and brought Nelly Spalding to her senses ? Simply the interior of the old church once again. A ray of sunlight streaming through a chink in the stained window falls on the sad, pale, tearful face of a newly-made bride. The bride’s face is Nelly’s own ; and the pompous bridegroom is Josiah Blagden, the artistic treatment of whose white waistcoat and chain has cost me no end of pains. Behind bride and bridegroom comes the figures of Mr. and Mrs. Spalding; and in the dim distance the vicar is seen still standing within the altar rails. But the central figure after the bride herself is the young man, pale, motionless as a statue, who stands in a pew and whose ashy gaze is fixed on the bride. The face of the man in the pew is that of Jatnes Brooke. The picture tells its own story to Nelly Spalding. It places the possibility of the future before her eves as she has never dared to picture it to herself. It reflects in all its naked truth the fate to which through her indecision she may commit herself and Jim. And it tells its story so well that art conquers diplomacy in decision, and aids love in its triumph over the great Josiah himself. Footsteps on the stairs. I cover the picture again. Nelly stands beside Dr. Brooke ; her cheek is pale, and there are tears like dewdrops glistening in her eyes. The iron master looms in the doorway. He takes in the matter at a glance and frowns darkly ajt Jim and me. As soon as Mr. and Mrs. Spalding, who closely follow’Josiah, have entered the room, Nelly to my surprise walks quickly up. to her father and takes his hand. “ Father,” said she, with a tremulous yet decisive tone, “you know the message you brought me from Mr. Blagden tins morning ? Give him my answer now. Tell him that I am going to marry Dr. Brooke.”

Now, it is my opinion that, had the discarded Josiah at this moment held his tongue, he might hav'e got both Mr. and Mrs. Spalding to speak a word for him with-Nelly. But as it was he destroyed his own case at a blow. ‘ ‘ Message from me ? —and this is my answer!” he said in an angry voice. “Why, I care nowt— notvf," he repeated bitterly, “ about the matter. I guess it was the lass’s father and mother that wanted to marry Josiah Blagden’s money —perhaps they wanted some of it for themselves.” The rudeness and vulgarity which marked the man came out unmistakably as he said these words ; and taking his sister’s arm in his and casting a look of vindictive scorn at the doctor and myself, he walked out at the door with an ungainly strut which was meiw.t for dignity ; and we saw the great Josiah no more. Mrs. Spalding was especially cut up by the parting fling of Josiah, a« it was she who had manoeuvred the matter thus far. Mr. Spalding, on the other hqnd, burst into a jovial laugh, and taking his daughter’s hand, placed it in that of Dr. Brooke. After all had left the studio but. Mr. Spalding, the latter asked me to tell him in plain terms how I had brought this about—for he had no doubt I was at the bottom of it. I uncovered the picture, which Mr. Spalding simple, easyminded gentleman that he was—scrutinized with his double eye-glass, remarking to me that he did not quite understand it at all, but tlrat it was wonderfully clever, and that Josiah’s “ weskit was as like as life.” In six weeks thereafter’ I officiated as “best man ”at Jim’s marriage. As the organist pealed forth the jubilant strains of Mendelssohn, after the vicar’s benediction had been given, and Nelly, radiant and beautiful, passed. down the aisle on her husband’s arm, I could not help rejoicing in the success of what is now “No. 329—A Wedding March,’’ though the faces in the picture as exhibited are slightly disguised, and Mr. Josiah’s vest has been shorn of certain of its distinctive peculiarities. That is the romance which, as I told you at the outset, hangs round the picture which in the Academy catalogue was numbered “329—A Wedding March.”— Chambers' Journal.

Official Report of the Autopsy.

The October number of the American Journal of Medical Science contains the official report of the autopsy of President Garfield. This report is by the surgeons in charge, and is quite full and comprehensive. The appearance of the body before the autopsy is told, the manner in which the autopsy was made is detailed, and all the pus cavities, ulcerations, fractures, etc., are described at full length. It appears, as heretofore stated by the physicians, that the ball, after fracturing the right eleventh rib three and a half inches to the right of the vertebral spine, went obliquely forward, passing through tho body of the first lumbar vertebra, and lodging in the adipose connective tissue immediately below the lower border of the pancreas, and about two inches and a half to the left of the spinal column. Here, the doctors again declare, the ball was completely encysted. The track of tile ball between the point at which it had fractured the rib and the point where it had entered the vertebra was considerably dilated, and pus from it burrowed downward through the adipose tissue behind the right kidney, and thence found its way between the peritoneum and the right iliac fossa, making a channel which extended almost to the groin. Tho doctors again declare that the immediate cause of was secondary hemorrhage, which proceeded from a rent nearly four-tenths of an inch Jong m the main trunk of the splenic artery. The doctors declare that this rent must have been made several days before the death of the patient. The physicians also describe the condition of the vital organs, which were more or less diseased. This last official statement of President Garfield’s physicians further proves how false were the official bulletins and how completely the physicians were at fault as to the location of the ball and the direction which it took after entering. It is really surprising that Gen. Garfield lived so long as he did, considering the multitude of ulcerations, pus cavities, etc., which the fatal bullet had generated. “There are Christian families,” says the examining committee of the Boston Public Library, in its last annual report, “in which the Old Testament is a forbidden book to the young.” Neveb interrupt any conversation with a hack ing Cough; it creates a bad impression.

FARMERS’ ALLIANCE.

Meeting of tke National Bodjr <M cago. The second annual meeting of the National Farmers’ Alliance was held in Hershey HaH. Chicago, on Wednesday and Thursday, Oct 5 and 6. Delegates were present from Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, lowa, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska, Wisconsin and New York. The Secretary reported that the alliance was in a favorable condition. There were nearly 1,000 subordinate alliances in existence, with a membership of 24,500. The alliances were distributed as follows: Nebraska, 291; Kansas, 245; lowa, 150; New York, 00; Wisconsin, 51; Michigan, 19; Missouri, 19; Indiana, 10; Illinois, 45; Minnesota, 50. The presiding officer, W. J. Fowler, made a, brief speech, in the course of which he stated that the alliance had so extended its field of usefulness and its capacity for work that it could take hold of questions which a year ago it was unable to grapple with. The alliance would now be able to go for some of the patent monopolies, such as the barbed-wire swindle, in instance. There was money enough to carry the barbed-wire cases up to the higher courts, and thus much material aid could be given to the farmer. Mr. Mulholland reported that the prospects of the alliance in Kansas were flourishing. Mr. Williams, of lowa, said the situation in that State differed a good deal from that in most of the others. A State Alliance had been formed at Des Moines, and the only objection raised to coming into the National Alliance was the life-membership rule. He thought that the voting should rest with the active members, and that men should not be allowed in on the strength of their money. Mr. Anderson said that Wisconsin had not had a farmer representative in Congress during the twenty years he had been a resident of the State. He thought the farmers should unite to support the alliance. The Wisconsin State Alliance was well officered and was doing well.

Mr. Wood, of Illinois, reported a very encouraging feeling throughout his State, and a firm determination on the part of farmers to join in the movement. If the two great political parties continued to neglect the interests of the producers, the latter would swing loose and vote independently. They would go into their own political conventions and vote for their own men, and, if they could not carry their point, they would support independent men. The .farmers of Illinois had voted long enough against their own interests, and had been led like lambs to the slaughter every time the ballot box was passed around. The alliance was not designed to form a new party, but to encourage independence among the members of the existing parties. Mr. Norton, of Wisconsin, said that as long as the farmers were content to be led by the ears by the leaders of the two old parties it nutted the managers well enough. When the farmers were satisfied there was no hope from either side they would come out and act for themselves. Mr. Wood, of Illinois, said it was a mistake to think that nothing could be got from existing political organizations. The trouble was that farmers stuck too close to their fields and barns, and*allowed tbe moss-back politicians to run the caucuses and conventions. He did not think it necessary to form a new party, for experience had taught them that they could secure their ends and yet remain in the existing parties. Tne farmers formed 50 per cent, of 1 lie voting papulation of the country, and, by influencing nominations, could compel the legislation tbev wanted. Mr. Williams said the farmers could not control nominations. The politicians put up the conventions and freely distributed drinks, lunches, and money if necessary. The. combined influence of the whisky and railroad intere ti was brought to bear, and the farmers got left. Mr. Root, of Nebraska, said the great trouble in Nebraska was with the “machine,” which had run the State until the meanest men in it got all the offices. He proposed that members of the alliance should nominate their own men, and if Republicans or Democrats choose to vote for them, so much the better. In Nebraska the farmers sought to get equal taxation, and that monopolies should treat all men and all places alike, and not pull down or sei up men at their pleasure. Railroads should not be allowed to freeze out men by a system of rebates—another name for robbery. Nebraska farmers wanted no legislation to protect the interests of the producer, and only asked such legislation as would prevent other men from stealing.

The committee on changes in the constitution presented a report recommending several minor changes in the document. The only important changes suggested was one abolishing the life-membership clause, which was adopted. It was decided that a national lecturer should be added to the list of officers of the alliance. An amendment to the effect that each State having an alliance should be entitled to two delegates and to one extra delegate for every 10,000 individual members of the alliance was adopted A proposition to admit representatives of all farmers’ societies to the deliberations of the alliance was debated a' extreme length, the chief question raised being whether or no the Grange representativea should be allowed to vote. The rule on thia subject was allowed to stand as before, so that the outsiders can both talk and vote. The Committee on Resolutions then reported the following, which were unanimously adoptedWhereas, Farmers and others are oppressor by unequal taxation, by subsidies to monopolies, bv selfish and dishonest officials, by rail road extortion and unjust disriminations and by other privileged classes ; and, Whereas, Congress only can regulate commerce among the States, and a national union of all interested is necessary for success— Resolved, That farmers, and all in sympathy with them, unite in a local, State and national society for mutual agreement snd united action Resolved, That all property, real and personal, corporate and individual, should be equalh taxed, and that the hold rs of mortgages and other lines of property should be taxed for their lien, and the owner for the balance of his property. Resolved, That we favor a just income tax. Resolved, That the salaries of all public officials should be only a fair compensation for services rendered; that all Government positions should be elective as far as practicable, and that the appointment of Postmasters and other officers by the success! ul party is a gross violation of civil-service reform and a fruitful source of corruption. Resolved, That we emphatically condemn the practice of receiving free railroad passes by Judges, members of Congress, Legislatures and other public officials. Resolved, That it is the duty of the General Government to at once exercise its constitutional right to regulate commerce between the States by passing such laws and establishing such regulations as will secure to the whole people just and impartial rates for the transportation of freights aud passengers. Resolved, That the combination and consolidation of railroad capital and influence of the United States in the maintenance of an oppressive and tyrannical transportation system is an accomplished fact, demanding instant, vigorous and unceasing action on the part of the producers of tbe country to remedy the same ; and we earnestly urge all farmers to organize through tbe Farmers’ Alliance or other organizations tor systematic and persistent political action, and to subordinate other political questions to the emancipation of the people from this terrible oppression. Resolved, That we demand such changes in our Patent law as will give patentees a remedy for the infringement of their claims, from the sellers of patents only, and not from their users, who are usually innocent purchasers of rights which they are made to believe are valid. Resolved, That all persons should be allowed to make patented articles on payment of a royalty of a per cent, of the price of the article ; royaltv to be the same on all patents. Resolved, That the adulteration of food is as dishonest and more injurious than counterfeiting money, and should be punished as severely.

Resolved, IThat, as delegated nominating conventions are frequently controlled by trading and bribery and fail to justly represent the people, we recommend the plan of nominating all elective officers by direct vote with all members of the organization. The following telegrams were read : New Yobk, Oct. 5. W. T. Fowler: The National Anti-Monopolv League sends greetings and an earnest wish that your organization may increase and prosper. ’The people must organize in defense of their rights, or acknowledge that mon may become their masters. . 8. E. Chittenden. Yobk, Pa., Oct. 5. W. J. Fowler, Esq., President National Alliance: lam prevented by a serious and painful accident from being with you to-day, but be assured that as long as I five I shall give what feeble aid I can for justice to land and labor. I hope you Will speak freely to-day, and let all the world know that you do not ‘ * lack gall to make oppression bitter.” Jebe 8. Black. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President—John J, James, of Kansas. Vice President—Hon. Matt Anderson, of Wis cousin. Secretary—D. W. Wood, of Illinois. Treasurer—Allen Root, of Nebraska. Lecturer—D. W. Wood, of Illinois. After selecting St. Louis ns the place for th< next annual meeting, the convention adjourned sine die.

Taxes Levied Upon Bachelors. It has been repeatedly said, and written, that “in these days young men cannot afford to marry,” but with the constant demands fashion makes upon the bachelor’s purse; the married man seems to have the best of it. An eastern paper says; “He who is invited to a box party must pay his footing with at least ten dollars’ worth of bouquet; a ‘German’ costs as much—while the assembly, to skip at once to the most appallingly extensive form in which the tax is levied, may be made to cost almost anything, since manams as well as maids expect tribute from all their faithful followers, and make their entry fairly hidden beneath a mountainous aggregation of flowers.” This reminds me of a little comedy, written in the early days of women’s “rightism,” and called “The Spirit of *76,” defining woman’s rights and privileges, the chief one of which was to assess all unmarried men sixty per cent on their property for the privilege of being a bachelor. The author little knew that his would-be satire would some day prove a truth, the only difference being in the way the tax was levied.

She Didn’t Know Her.

Mrs- Blaine had been some years in Washington before Mrs. X., wife of a Senator, called on her. At last Mrs X was announced. As Mrs. Blaine entered her drawing-room to receive her guest, she noticed the colored cook slip out hurriedly from the receptionroom where Mrs. X was waiting. This surprised her, but she said nothing. Next day, however, her valuable cook left her to find a place in Mrs. X. ’s kitchen. At a State dinner soon after given at the Executive Mansion, the two ladies chanced to be placed with only a seat between them at the. table. The gentleman sitting between noticing that Mrs. Blaine did not address a of conversation to his other neighbor, exclaimed: “Why, Mrs. Blaine, you know Mrs. Senator X, do you not?” “No,” was the answer, and loud enough for all to hear; “Mrs. X called on my cook the oth?r day at my house and her card was handed to mo by mis take. My cook r< t • nod the call.” An Elkton (Md.) paper mentions the case of Mr. T. Deenan, of that place, who-suf-fered severely with rheumatic pains until he tried a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil, which completely cured him.— lndianapolis {lnd.) Journal.

German Oddities.

German brick layers do not carry the bricks up in a hod. They are generally thrown up. One man stands at the pile in the street, and one man is placed on each staging to throw to the man above through a hole in the scaffolding. By this succession of relays bricks are thrown up five stories. I have never seen a ‘‘muff” made, but I usually watched the game from the other side of the street. Another custom connected with house-building is for the owner to give an entertainment to the workmen when the walls are up. The fact is advertised to the community by a great crown of flowers placed upon the top of the building, with numerous flags and decorations. Work is suspended for the day, and the workmen meet the owner and the invited guests around the festive board, and afterward dance with their wives and daughters. It is well known that the Germans have as many holidays as possible.

Cited by the Washington (Ind.) Gazette is the fact that the colts in that locality have a sort of lameness in the joints. J. F. Myers cured his by anointing it with St. Jacobs Oil. The latest adulterant of Swiss cheese is made of potato starch and is now considerably used in France, where oleomargarine originated. As starch and oil belong to the class of non-nitro-genous food, it is claimed the one may be substituted for the other without detriment to the nutritive element of the cheese, or in any way affecting its diLydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has done thousands of women more good than the medicine of many doctors. A story is told of one of the old-time inhabitants of Rhode Island, Austin by name, who, long before the spirit of abolition had been raised, finding himself the owner of a slave—his sole inheritance—freed the man and sought w vrk on a farm. Men and women that pursue sedentary occupations need to take Kidney-Wort. It may be right occasionally to take a bull by the horns, but it is always well to keep in mind that the horns belong to the bull.

RESECTED FROM DEATH. William J.Coughlin,of Somervdle, Mass., says: In the fall of 1876 I was taken with bleeding of the lungs. lowed by a severe cough. I lost my appetite and flesh, and was confined to my bed. In 1877 I was admitted to the hospital. The doctors said I had a hole in my lungae big as a half dollar. At one time a report went around that I was dead. I gave up hope, but a friend told me of Db. William Hall’s Balsam fob the Lungs. I got a bottle, when, to my surprise, I commenced to feel better, and to-day I<eel better than for three years past. I write this hoping egery one afiUpted with diseased lungs will take Da. William Half's Balsam, and be convinced that CONSUMPTION caA BE CUBED. I can positively say done more good than all tho other inedioino° T b»v» taken since my siejrness.

A couple of Kansas small boys thought it would be rare sport to saturate the hair of their sleeping mother with coal oil and apply a match to it, but after thp experiment and after a woodshed interview with au electriceyed, bald-headed woman they sat down sideways on the step and thought and thought and thought and thought and thought, and to save their lives, they couldn’t see anything funny about the affair. -—————— Twenty-four white women have married negroes in Bostop in one year.

A FAIRY AFLOAT. The following description of the fairy vessel represented on this page is from the Cincinnati Commercial: The hull is of the finest selected white oak, braced, bolted and riveted in the most skillful and workmanlike manner, and is 64 feet in length, 14 feet breadth of beam, 21 feet depth of hold, and draws twenty inches of water. She carries a tubular boiler, and two beautiful little engines, made expressly for her, by the Ohio Machine Co., Middleport, O. The dining-room is situated between the boiler and engine rooms, and is artistically grained, with frescoed ceiling. It is furnished in the Queen Anne style, and the silver, china and table linen are of the finest character. The pilot-house, cabin, main salon and Captain’s office are on the saloon deck and are luxurious in their furnishing and decorations. The saloon proper is frescoed and gilded in Eastlake style, and the flooring is covered with Turkish carpet The furniture, in raw silk and walnut, of the Queen Anne pattern, like that of the. dining-hall, and rich curtains of damask complete the impression of a veritable floating palace. The four state-rooms,contain-ing two berths each, are also carpeted with Brussels and handsomely furnished. The boat belongs to and was built under the directions of Messrs A. Vogeler & Co., Baltimore, Md., for their own exclusive use upon the Ohio, Mississippi and other Western rivers, and is run by a picked crew of officers and men in their employ. The object of this little steamer is to carry neither freight nor passengers. She was built for the firm above named, to be used exclusively by them for distributing their Sriuted matter in the river towns for St. A cobs Oil, the Great German Remedy for rheumatism and other painful ailments.
