Iu 1892, Mr. Henry cut it down to 1,316, aud Tuesday Nov. 6 piled up a plurality of 4,432, which makes a change of 8,850 iu the district in four ye irs. Holman's district with opposition gave him 1,772 iu 1890, in 1892 without opposition it went to 3,081, and Watson gets 425. Mr. Henry carried Anderson township by 431 or 128 ahead of Owens for Secretary of State. Mr. Heury carried the flint glass precinct in Alexandria, where the famous resolutions were given birth. Mr. Henry received 6,623 votes in the county which was more than any other candidate on the ticket.

The

roads are so crooked down here that I sever know which way I am going. I am iu the country several miles lroni, town down on what is calied the "Point" between the Wabash and White rivers, about sixteen miles below Viueenues in the county of Kuox not lar from the home of ex Governor "Blue Jeans", just in the heart of the water melou country. The land is rich, it is second bottom, but subject to overflow and crops are occasionally lost. If it was not for these floods this country would be a delightful place to live, the land is largely owned by capitalists aud the country much rented by renters. Things look primitive down here, plenty of backwoodsmen, and thousands of acres in timber. Men are going into the woods, building cabins, taking leases on four years time and clearing up the land. They have the old fashioned lire place and roll iu great logs that last three or four days. Ic is rather old fashioned to frit on a split bottom chair cross your legs and spipt in the fire. The people are clever and kind but need salvation. They are largely Democratic but they have heard I cant tell when I will leave this country but when I do I'll need a guide. 1 can't tell whether the sun rised in the north or south. I have been preaching the gospel giving them hell a-id holiness for the past two weeks, so that we are now in the midst of one of the greatest religious awakenings tint this country has ever experienced, they come for miles, the house is packed, and many are getting saved. This is a good field for missionary work the best I ever yet struck in

'•The llno-ier Evangelist."

Scotch T«»rms anl Customs. Everybody knows that tho word mac (pronounced in Gaelic rnachk) means eon, so that, for example, MacDonald literally means tho son of Donald. But it is not generally known that when a woman is spoken of tho highlanders substitute for mac the feminine nich, which means daughter that the vocative of mac is vichk (we spell phonetically), which always replaces mao when a person is addressed, and that the nominative plural is tniehk (sons) or claun (children). Sir Waltor Scott's ignorance of Gaelic frequently led him into error upon these points, both iu his poetry and in his novels.

The meaning of the Gaelic word clan, as just stated, is children, aud the obedience which clansmen owed to their chief was considered by them rather as

selves to be all blood relations descend ed from a common ancestor, of which their chief was the living representative. Tho clansman who hesitated to savs his chief's life at the expense of his own was regarded as a coward who fled from his father's side iu the hour of peril. On the other hand, the chief was expected at all times to acknowledge the meanest of his clan as his relation and to shako hands with him wherever they might happen to meet. Subordinate to the chief and generally related to him were tho chieftains and tackEmen.—London Spectator.

Turning Up the Trousers.

I doubt not through tho ages one increasing purpose runs, and that is why I liavo always felt sure that there must bo some reasou for the ''astrornary and I asceutric" behavior of people who turn I up tho bottoms of their trousers in dry weather. Tho New York exquisites who copied the fashion from London will be disgusted at the vulgar origin of the practice, for I understand that it had its rise in the inventive bruins of some bank clerks, who used to go down to the city on those bad old "ra^or back" I buses. They found that their nether I garments got frayi by rubbing against tho woodwork under the seats until one day one of them exclaimed, "Go to, let us turn up our trousers. And th did so. And having turned tin rip iV didn't seem worth while to turn thorn down again, so tho custom became erys tailized. If only somebody would novinform us why wo wear silk hats and" have pockets in our coattails which v. never use, wo might even yet be modei ulely happy.—London Figaro.

THE MARKETS.

The next step was the "foster lien," when the bride price was paid on the day of espousal and was supposed to compensate the parent for the cost of bringing up his daughter. It seems, however, that this soon fell into disrepute, as there was no law against the father's engaging his daughter to iro- I morons puit-nrs, talcing from eaoh the I "foster lien," and, of course, cheating all but one on the wedding day, which, at that time, was only the day of betrothal, when the suitor gave a "wed" or pledge for the future performance of his contract. If tho suitor did not claim his bride within two years after the wedding day, he forfeited all right to her aud to whatever money or good.1 ho had paid for her. If the woman or her father broke their promises, the father had to give tho suitor four times as much as ''''j sniio1- hrul "Ircady paid him.

As civilization advanced the bride price was given to the woman herself and became her dowry, while nowadays tho tables are frequently turned, and tlie bride settles tho money on her husband.—Kato Field's Washington. I

MARRIAGE CUSTOMS.

Radical Chniiffos That Have Taken Place Iu Kuglaod Marriage customs have changed everywhere with the advance of civilization. Anglo-Saxons in ancient times, it is said, used to capture their wives by forco from their fathers or their husbarnls, it did not matter which.

This was before Augustino came to preach Christianity. Then purchase was

nioro 'cominon'Thau ^aptuVeraVdiough

the latter seems to have been frequent enough to the reign of Ethelbert to need regulation by law. By this Jaw a man might run away with a woman, provided he afterward paid her previous owner, be iiu father or husband, 50-siiiLHrgiJ. If it was husband who had thus baen deprived of his wife, the woman's captor had not only to pay him the fine, but also to buy him another wife. Iu any case tho stolen woman belonged to her captor.

If a man had purchased his bride in the days of Ethelbert and afterward concluded he had paid too much for her, it was lawful for him to return her to her former owner and claim again the purchase price, provided that ho had not previously expressed satisfaction by making tho bride a present on tho morning after tho wedding.

Canalboat

la Just as Helpless as Would He. As might bo expected, a walrus is about as helpless on land as a canalboat. It is with no little difficult}- and much hitching and floundering that ho drags his huge bulk upon a saudy shore even with the boosting ho gets from behind by tho breakers as they roll in and dash against him. His hind Dippers aro uf little use on land, and on sand or pebbles, whero his front flippers do not hold well, the labor of floundering forward is so great that ho never stirs boyt nd the edge of the water and usually lies with his body half awash, with the salt spray dashing over him like torrents of rain. On solid rocl: or ice ho guts along much belcer, aud often a herd will spread several rods back from tho water's edge.

The females and younger walruses have far less development of neck to encumber them and thereforo enjoy more fmedo.ii of motion than the old n.ales, who actually seem a great, burden to themselves. These creatures are strictly Rocial in (heir habits and always go in herds, whether traveling, feeding, lighting or resting ashore.

Themistocles, the hero of Salamis, was sent into banishment by the practice of ostracism. This was a purely Athenian device to prevont any citizen becoming too great. "When any man ac-

quir?d

such

Prominence as to be unsafe

to the state, a number of citizens demanded a rote, which was taken by writing on shells the namu of the too prominent cifizen. If a majority voted against him, he was sent into exile, not because he done Mr.idng, but for fear he might do something. Ho staid vtr away from five to ten years, then returned aud resumed hio standing as a citizen without loss of property or reputation. Themistocles was ostracized and wont into exilo, where he was soon accused of treasonable correspondence with the Persians. He was about to be arrested, but fled to Persia. He gained great influence at tho Persian court and projected an invasion of Greeoe, but died, it is supposed by poison, before his plans could be realized.—Exchange.

When They Meet and Part. An Englishman salutes his friend with: "How do you do? Goodbv. Farewell. Similarly the Dutchman, "Vaar wel," and the Swede, "Farvel." A Frenchman says:"Bonjour! Au plaisirl" —i. e., "do vous revoir.'' An Italian, "Buon giorno! Addiol A rivederci!" A Spaniard, "Buenos diasl Adiosl— Hasta la vista!" (French "Aurovoirl") The Turk folds his arms and bows his head toward tho persou whom he salutes. The common Arab says, "Salem aleikum" ("Peaco bo witli you"). Pie then lays his hands on his breast in order to show that tho wish proceeds from his heart.

Lincoln's iews on AsHaNsinatlou. I That night as we walked back to tho White House through the grounds betweeu the war department, buildings and tho house I fancied that I saw in the misty moonlight a man dodging behind one of the trees. Mv heart for a moment stood still, but as v*. passed in safety I came to the conclusion that the dodging figure was a creature of tho imagination. Nevertheless as 1 parted from the president at the door of tho

White House could not heip saying that 1 thou.y'ht his going to and fro in the darkmss of the night, as it was usuaii} his custom, often iilono aud unattended, v.'as dangerous recklessness.
