Tbe Simple Ceremony Used by the I'rieid In ealing Their Vow.. Detroit Free Press. It was a small eo.nare building, painted white, and lite all inenaa' "meeting houses" there waa cpon it no spire or cu pola, for they deem it sacrilegious to dis turb the calm of their peaceful "Fust Day" with c'.acpor of brazen bell. One autumn "First Day," from far and near ease the ereat eld-fashioned carriages, bringing Btai4 old eentlemen wearing their drab costumes of which the broadbrimmed hats and queer coats were distinctive features; old ladies with placid faces peeping out from beneath the quaint drab bonnets, wearing plainly maJa dresses of the same sombre hue, with nothing save white handkerchiefs of exquisite fineness crossed beneath their chins to relieve the severe plainness of their raiment, and young people mo3tly attired alter the manner of the '"world's people," all eager to see the rather unuiual sieht of a wedding in the meeting-house. 1 entered at the women's door. The interior of the piain building wore an air of plain simplicity in these days, when cushioned pews and elegant carpets are seen in nearly all churches. The pine floor was white and clean. A dozn straight -backed seats were on either side of the narrow ait?e, and fronting these were four others on a raised platform. A common boxstove stood in the corner, and also a small walnut table, on which wa3 lying a roll of paper which proved to be the marriage certificate. The sliding partition, which was open on this occasion, showed us that the men's side of the house was similarly furnished, with the exception of the b The male portion of the audience sat With their hats on, and both men and women had their heads bent lightly forward, with eyes half closed, aa if engaged In silent devotion. No fresh arrival caused one face to tuer trward the door to see who the new CDaira waa. Even little children, who3e mischievous pranks sorely tried my patience in the school room, now eat demure and silent, and there waa no air of expectancy on any countenance. At last the wedding party entered, but not to sound of wedding march, for no music, either vocal or instrumental, is ever heard in a Quaker meeting-house. Toey passed on to the platform and seated themelves facing the little assemblage gathered there to witness the ceremony. Ten minctea more ol silence, when they arose, and the couple to be married joined thir right hands, and the gentleman said in rather low but distinct tones: "In the presence of the Lord I late thee, Iiuth Stiles, to be my wedded wife, promising with divine assistance to be unto thee loving and faithful husband uatil deati hall separate us." In tremulous tones the bride then repeat d the same word, merely substituting "David Hill" and ''husband" for 'wife," They sat down again, and after another short period of silence one old gentleman rose and shook hands with another, and the meeting had closed. Many friends signed the certificate as witnesses of the important ceremony which had transformed an Indian Minion school teacher into the wife of a well-to-do farmer. The bride wore a dress of very fine drab cashmere, made in Quaker fashion, short waist and plain fail skirt. A handsome collar of delicate lace wa fastened beneath her throat with a white geranium blossom and leaves. Jler kid gloves matched her dress in color, but Instead of a Quaker bonnet she wore a very stylish hat with satin loops and ostrich tips corresponding In hue with dress and gloves. The groom was attired In a dress suit of black, such as men usually wear on such occasions, with no trace of Quaker fashion about it. The bridesmaid and the groomsman were clothed in nearly the same man ner m the contracting parties. lie arty congratulation a were showered upon the yourjg people, and everywhere I could hear kindiy greetings exchanged among the people, such as "Daniel, how does thee do? I am so glad to see thee here to-day," and "Well, Emily, thee did getont. It seems nice to see thee with ns after thy long sickness." One sweet, lovlcg old lady addressed me thus: "And what is thy first name? We wish to know thee well, now that thee has come among tu to teach o?r little ones; thee knows we net formal people, being friendly to

Iav ilanshaw and the M jatcrio s Trunk Ttee Stranger In the Bset Car AVhat Was in the Trau k. Written Etpecially for the Bentinel. .(Copyrighted, 1867 ) The life cf a joke is long, and tU art of getting to Canada safely is fleeting, bnt all tbe days of the truivk are numbered. The fragile pitcher that goeta often tc tte founuiit is broken at last, but the ironbounditrunk?with soleleather sides and ribs of oak gets bath ends caved in on the tirst tnp. The art of trunk-making and trunksmashing is coeval. Wiien the first trank was made, the same recoid tells us that the first trunk was imached. And ßiuee that far away day, ages back in the midty past, the history of trznk-makirg and ilUnk EmasMEg fcas gone bnd in hind; it has been written ininter-laaveJ volumes, 'Children of mn," excla'.aed Ben Soleleather Chilled ßteel. "I have made a trunk that will laush to pcorn the gnawiag tooth of time." ''O. race of mortals," cried Biva the Destroyer, I liave pfiff cted a maul with a four-foot handle that will break throuch the crust of the rock-ribbed earth'" From the maul, aslisted by Mr. Darwin and other eminent evolution fakirs, the Destroyer evolved the Baggage Smasher, a cross between a Steam hammer and a Stump extractor. From that time two great problems have engaged the brain and muscles of mankind. The one, to produce an indestructible trunk; the other, to evolve a force that will make kindling wood of the indestructible; to cor struct that which hall be all-resistant, and to evolve that which shall be irresistible. When the Cagg.ge 8masber was evolved in the lullcess; of his destructive powers, the gods were so pleased with him thit etch one endowed him with some peculiar giff. Venus gave him the power to mash tt e hearts of the waiter ladies, so that he miftht always get his dinner first, although the hungry passengers might vainly ihriek their orders in voices rendered harsh and shrill bv starvation, aDd weigh their qu trier "tips" against the Destroyer's sanies. Vulcan gave to his arms tbe restless swing of the B?edge hemmei, acd to his mnve cbett the resting power of the anvil, so that whether he pitched or caught, whatever he touched, or whatever touched him might be broken. Minerva gave him wisJom, so that he miizht tell, by running bis eye ovtr if, the weakest corner of a stubborn trunk, Apollo taught him to tsll the truth on the bias, SO that he might stand beside the ghastly fragments of a wrecked and splintered Saratoga, and lay his hand on his callous heart and calmly say tnat "that trunk was that way when it was put in his car." Mar? tanght him to fight, that he mlg'lt knock, out tbe howling passenger w io sought to rf ds3the wrongs of his baggie with furce and arms. And Jove gave him a voice of thunder and a regal bearing with which to afirfght the wary commercial traveler who might seek most thriftily to charge the house with two tons of extra baggage, wnile he pail for three hundred pounds. And thus epuipped, thy sent him forth to make life a burden to all traveling folks. Under the rule of the Destroyer, the life of a trunk follows the earth in one revolution around the sun. It, tbe trink. starts out in the vigor of sole leather, oa: ribe, wrought nails, and strong rivets, "vha the witd-flowers, called out by the routes of Spring, deck tbe sheltered glens witi starry beauty. It loses a oasterortvo when the apple buds are pink, aDd cas'.s a ehoe in early June. The scythe3 are swinging in the hay harvest when It throws both handles, and when the leaves bgin to turn, it comes back from the mountains bound with many strong ropei, which tbe Destroyer keeps always on hand at twenty-five cents each. At Christmas time, -that trunk's own mother wouldn't know it, and when the robins nest again, it is a trunk only in name. True, a trunk may last several years, if you only make a thirty-five-mile trip once In three years, to visit your grand parents, and you make the whole trip there and back in a farm wagon lined with straw, and sit upon your trunk all the way going and coming, and handle it as tenderly as though it were aa egg of the renaissance every time you move it. Bat that, gentle reader (by which phrase 1 mean, guileless imbecile), isn't just what is meant in these days by traveling. On the average, the trunk of the commercial traveler, the actor, the lecturer, or any professional wanderer, is marked 'B. 0. shops" at the end of tbe first year. At the close of the second it goes to the scrap heap, and is trodden nnder the foot of the razpicker. It is a mistaken ipea that light baggage receives the least injury, because it is so much more easily bandied. I have tried all torts, and my experience is that light baggage fares worse, because the destroyer can throw it further, lie is rather tender with the handles of a two-ton sample case, because if they pull out, he has nothing to catch bold of but the small round iroi lumps and the rivet heads, which aflord him no grip at all. Bat in the case of the little, modest light-weight trunk, the Cham pion pulls the handles out for fun, because he has no use for them, anyhow; he throws that trunk like a foot-ball. A bright and gifted Iowa woman, Matilda Fletcher, ome years ago invented a safety trunk. It was a perfect cylinder, roucdrd at one end and flat at the other. So you see, it always had to stand on tbe fiat end in a stenre corner of the car. It had to be carefully sustained in position, btcause if it fell down it would roll across tbe csr and break the destroyer's les. lie couldn't tots it up on top of a high pile of baggage, because it would then roll ofT and break bis neck. He couldn't pile any bspa;?e on top of i, because nothing woild aiay on the rouded end. Thn it was always where its owner could easily get at it For the Eime reason it bad to be wheeled about on a truck all by itself. It was made without handles, bo that the destroyer bad to bandle it with great care. If he roiled it, it received no harm, but it would roll in tangents and get awav from him, and cause him no end of trouble. He bad to hug it up in his arms and carry it into the car as though it was a three-year-old baby. It was a perfect success, but it looked so much like an overgrown dynamite bomb that everybody was afraid of it. and I think the Government must nave prohibited tbe manufacture of it, as I have not met it on the trams for several years. I don't know whether any of the younger commercial travelers or actors will remember Dave Hanshaw, but some of the older commuters and wanderers will recall him. He used to run baggage on the old Kalamakee, Andover and Cross way Air Line, and he was a rustler. One dull November evening they had made the last way atop, and were running toward Chicago a little behind time and going slow. Old "Hundred and Ninety-Two" had slipped an eccentric, and was only working one aide, and the hour and the speed were alike gloomy. The baggage car was very q ulet, became

Ilewaa examining a new cam pie case, atroT?g'fiS a granite mountain, that belonged to a hardware roan. Dave whistled foftly xi he critically noted the good and weak pcints of the case, when a viice "That lellow will give yoa a fcreat doal of trouble." Tave planced icward the glocasy corner of the etc. and saw a tall man, of senoits aspect, Bitting crocs legeed on a tin trunk marked VJohann Immerhng Eengenen-deslraos-pyberger; Millegewaukeeburgh, Stadt WfctlicheiConstanchen; merigelard." Tre etranger held an ttolighted ciar betweH his long fingers, and waa locking at tbe bsgage man instead of the trunk. The railroader was in nowlce surprised; strt-ngers " frequently followed Dave's comnercial and professional acquaintances into bio car, so he merely said. "She'e a lcs band, sure; bat I guess I can eucber it, if I U7 out to. I've eeea a good many solid pleoes come in here on our pood casUrs and go out In an ambuItnce." Still," said the etranger, lighting hJB eaar by breathine upon It, " btlt yoc never saw ooe bo strong as that." You must know something tbout trunks," said Dave, gazing with unconcealed admiration at tho cigar "fake," and WOEt ering if he had Hermann In there to amuse him, " I oght to." said tbe stranger. "Cooeofl!'' shouted the baggageman, then jou must be the els " "Ob. breathe not his name!" Said tb rtianper, emiling as be blow oat a cloud of erne Ice with a .blue light find a slightly Lietipg found, "but you ara correct, and that is n y trunk that joa are admiring, Nothing supernatural in it. Common tinni; warranted to contain nothing but wearing apparel, not all rxiivde up. It '3 a fiendish invention of human manufacture. Made by an eld darkey down in Texao, and I've been going around with it nearly three months, and it's as good 83 new. Dollars to doughnuts you can't eUrt a seam or break a corner of it." "Well," said Dave, "you and I have been in butinees a good many years; I've often heard o." you of ten hard your nime mentioned in this car, but I think I.never met you before, l're of ten Leen told to go to you, but I alwavs declined, and cow you've come to ne. So you invented trunks, eh?', "Yes," id the Adversary, "I think I dl. If there is an evil in the world that efilictB travtllirg humanity worse than baggage I dou't blow what it is. Its lnfceient wickedness isevident from the fact that it is barred at the portals of Paradise. No man can take a pound of baggage to heaven with bim. But how lorgdoyou want to frrash that hat-box of mine." "I press I'll send her to the rope man when we get to Chicago," said Dave confidently. "I'll give you a year," said the stranger, "and you can double check it np and drwn on your own run all the time. Get alltheboja to help jou. I'll come back in a year, and if you haven't mada a dent in it by that time, I'll put you inside of it." The strarjger puffed h's cigar with a shower of sparks and blue fire like a roraia candle and Dave was alone. He shook himself, searched through the car, and grew very thoughtful. "Will," he said, "if that trunk wasn't tfcf re, I'd say I'd been asleep " Lot tbo trunk was there a leather affair, seaed with rivets, big as all out cov is. ;t d heavy as a mogul engine. Dive tr tttd 1. back and forth, kicked It, and twittd it, fired big trunks at it, jammed it up fhd down on the floor till the car rocked, rl the trunk went down the skids at Chio go without a wrinkle. The baggage was iifr cleimed. and the bovs used to precilce on it, but it stood buflets better thr-.i a foot-ball. In about eleven mouths Dave suddenly threw up his j saying that he was tired of railr ding. He went down to Normal, and ent to work for a florist raising an caring :jt delicate hot-house plants, and living about all the time in the most fragile of glass houses. Last time I saw bim be was

training some pets, a couple of tiny canary birds, the two of them scarcely so big as one of his thumbs. They fairly lived oa the big fellows shoulders and in his hair, "I do hate anythirg big and rough," he said, showing me a little cobweb of a cage he had made for them, so delicate you hardly dare breathe upon it. "See this little arrangement for them to draw water with? The whole thing, birds, cage, well bucket, chain and all doesn't weigh five ounces. And Bay. old man, you needn't be caliiugme 'Dave so loud. My name's Daniel Daniel Henderson. Say, have you seen any of the boys on the old run lately? Are tbey all right ?" Heieemed joyously reassured when I told him they were, and I came away. What made me think of him to-day was this little paragraph I saw in a Cnicago paper yesterday : "At a sale ot unclaimed baggage by the Kalamakee, Andover fc Crossway ilailroad yesterday, one very large trunk was Bold for thirty-eight dollars, and on cutting it open, as the lock could not be forced, the trunk was found to consist simply of a bale of Texas cotton, leather covered. It had evidently been put up by some crank to torment the much-enduring and patient baggageman, and had lain in the freighthouse of the company over a year. liOEEET J. ßl'RDETTE, Don M.

IfcvsLiw, November 2G Copyright 18S7, by the New York Associated Press. Tne truth of the revelations which associate Orleanist intrigues with the forgeries which J'rince Bismarck denounced to the Czar continue to be questioned by the Progressist .papers and by certain court organs. The Yosfcische Zeitung leads in asking for definite information as to what documents were forged and who were tbe forgers. The Kreuz Zeitung expresses doubt of the possibility of any litrlin court perEonages being concerned iu dtlndingthe Czar in regard to Prince Bismarck's foreign policy. The diplomatic circle here do 1 ot share in this incredulity. It Is recognized that the disclosures of the Cologne Gazette are of necessity vague, that it will be didcult for Prince Bismarck to take open measures against the culprits as he did in the case of Count Von Arnim. No official in the Foreign office 13 implicated, nor anyone within Prince Bismarck's power to puoiicly punish. The dispitches which were laid before the Czar consisted of semidiplomatic papers and private letters emanating from the courts of Wurtemburg, Oldenburg, and Saxe-Cobnrg. The letters which extended from a time prior to Prince Ferdinand's candidature in Bulgaria, to the time fo the Czar's residence in Fredensborg, qouted pretended dispatches from Bismarcs strongly .inimical to the Czar. THE GTILTY rARTIF.fi. Paron Jomini, a trusted adviser of the Czar and a sirong Paa-slavit, is believed to have been used as the medium to ulaca before the Czar the earliest letters giving fraudulent extrects from Bismarck's dispatches. Officials of the court of Denmark are snppected of having been the channels for the transmission of the later bogus documents which ie the Czar to break the arranged interview with Emperor VVil liam at Stettin. Neither the Comte De Tails nor tbe Orleanist chiefs are direc'ly involved in the intrigues, but members of the Orleans family who are related to the Danisa and the other Courts above mentioned are 03Hevcd to be the sources of decep'.ioa. Tas intrigue aimed to persuade the Czar that Bismarck, while aQpctmg the neuc-aUty of Germany toward Bulgaria, privatelv initiated and supported Prince Ferdinand. The political importance oftata disjover has been overrated. It may tend to dsic in helping to disabuse the Char's mind of the impression that ths German policy is two-faced, but itcaont a fleet tbe policy of tbe triple alliaice in resisting Rusian apgrcssiou ia Baigaria. nor alter permanently the unfriendly relations between Germany and Russia which ere dependent upon, the cessation ottbe anti-German agitation in Russia. The Cologne Gazette has wrongly mixed up the letter forgeries with an anti-Bismarck Intrigue. A email party of the Berlin court set, headed by Count Von Radzi. will seek to thwart the aims of Bismarck, but they Lave so far limited their action to trying to influence the Emperor to resist Bismarck's proposals. They nave never descended to co-operate with foreign diplomacy against the Chancellor. What the Czar learned while in Berlin will be communicated to the Grand Council at St. Petersburg, which was convoked Immediately upon tbe Czar's return there. It was attended by M. DeGiers, Baron Jomini, all the ministers. Grand Dukes and other councillors. It sat on Thursday for eight hours and resumed Its session yesterday. KrSSIAS MINISTRY CHANGES, Late advices from St. Petersburg credit the Czar with having effected the complete submission of the Fan-Blavist party, and state that the ministerial changes foreshadowed last week have been made. Finance Minister Yishnigudski has been dismissed and Count Tolstoi has resigned his post aa Minister of tbe Interior. The Czar is also abcut to countermand the War Minister's orders for the concentration of troops in Poland. Nothing is officialy known here of. the Council. '1 he reported return to an entente cordiale is associated with a statement that Germany will advise the powers to issue a collective note, demanding that Peince Ferdinand leave Bulgaria. This is known to be untrue. It casts a doubt upon the whole tenor of tbe advices. All practical measures proceeding in Russia show no cessation of the war fee! in;. Troops are daily arriving at Warsaw from the interior, and passing toward the frontier. They will go into winter quarters along the Vistula and the railways. The Moscow Gazette to day. In an article on the relations between England and Russia, ccntinuea tbe attack upon Germany, and invites England to abtndon her jealousy of Russia regarding India, come to a thorough understanding with Russia upon all questions, and turn her attention to Germany as a dasgerous competitor of England by land and sea. TflK CROWS PEINCI. Mr. Chaman Coleman, the First Secretary of the American Legation, sent a dispatch to the Crown Prince, in the name of the American residents of Berlin who were present at the Thanksgiving Day dinner, expressing sympathy with his Imperial Highness. To-night the Prince replied through Count lladoliski, his chamberlain, thanking the Americans of Berlin for thf.lr message of sympathy. According to court re ports the Crown Prince declined to see Prince Bismarck regarding the formal act of renouncing the throne, and wrote a letter to the Emperor, which stopped Bismarcks going to San Remo. The relations between Trince "William and the Chancellor are strengthening. The Prince, under tbe assent of the Emperor, i8aboutobt instructed in the routine business of the Foreign office and Finance Department. Count Vlnterfeld. upon returning today from a visit to ban Remo, presented a report upon the Crown Prince's condition to the Emperor. Regarding his general condition, the r?p?rt is favorable, but no Improvement of his malady is indicated. A resident of Breslau has written to the Emperor oßerlng his own larynx as a subktitntefor the Crown Prince's if the surgeoB.s are willing to perform the operation of trapsmitting it. Dry II urn or. Willem L. Marcy. Secretary of State dining the administration of President Pierce, had a dry humor in which he often indulged, though he seldom laughed. A lav yer of Richmond. Va., Mr. 1L O. Bcott, applied for the consulship at Rio De Janeno. The place hadjbeen promised him, but the Domination waa delayed bo long that Mr, Scott, becoming impatient, visit

ed Washington to see what caused his appointment to "hang fire." Calling on Mr, Marcy, be frankly said that he was embarmsed by the uncertainty and tired of the delay, and wished to be plainly told wfcat he might expect. "Mr. Scott," said the Secretary, in a dry, hard tone, "for every bough of the top of tbe tree of appointment for the mission plenipotentiary, for example there are about one hundred applicants; for the middle boughs, the secretaries of legation, there are about three hundred applicants, and for the lower limbs ot the consulship there are about one thousand applicants. Those holding on to the upper boughs expect, if they fall, to catch upon the boughs of the secretaries, and thooe disappointed in obtaining them hope to catch ! on the limbs of consulships. "For the place cf plenipotentiary bat cne of the bund: ed can be appointed, and the ninety and rrne falling upon the next boughs increase the number of applicants to 399. For tbe latter, bot one can be appointed, and thus 808 fall upon the consulships, increasing tbe number of applicants to 1 3!)8. The chance for a consulship is One in 13!8 Y'ou can, therefore, calculate your chances for the consulship at Rio," "Then, sir," answered the astonished and dismayed Scott, "I may as well go borne to my clients, and quit the business Of ofSce-beggiDg!" and he rose to his feet. "But, Mr. Scott," resumed Mr. Marcy, motioning to him to resume his seat. "I have advised the President that the failure to obtain the hfgher office should not give a lien on the lower office ;",thna your chance will remain as one to a thousand only, for a consulship." "Well, that chance is not worth waiting for, and I'll go home," eatd 8cott. "When you do," answered the Secretary, with a twinkle of his eye, "go and prepare for your passage to Rio, for your appointment is already determined upon." Then the Secretary's fat sides shook with his enjoyment of Scott's joyful surprise. How Some Railroad Fares are Collected in tti. Lumber Kegion. Chicago Math A railroad conductor who used to run up in the Marinette and Hurley regions of Wisconsin, and who is now cooling off in Chicago from the effects of soma warm experiences which he had in that benighted Sfction, entertained a party of friends Sui-dayin the following vein: -I had been told when I first tok charge of the train that I would Lave a touh lot to deal with. The first car I entered on tha occasicn I am tellirg about was full of the haictst looking customers I ever saw. There wasn't a sober man in the lot. I approtched each man and said 'Tickets' in a f'rm but polite way. They all gave me a big laugh, acd when I had gone through the car I hadn't a ticket or a cent to sho for my work. I felt as though I was in great luck to be alive. I entered the next car cd encountered an individual who was mfiniteiy harder locking than the Chans I bad left. I said Ticket' to him, acd he shrugged his great shoulders. " 'How much did you get out o' that other car?' he asked. "I told him not a ticket, not a cent. 'What are you going to do about it?' "I told him I didn't know. " 'Kin yon afford it? he growled. "I told him I couldn't. " 'Then yon'll get bounced lose your job, won't you?' he aked. "I said I guessed that was the siz of it? " 'Well, you won't,' he said. 'Gimme your cap. I'll get your tickets.' "I handed him my can and Insignia, and he went forward. The Cut man he came to he hit under the ear and bawled out: 'Gimme your ticket our your fare, or I'll bury jou in the floor.' "The man recovered and handed the tb um per a bill. "You don't get no change this 'ere trip,' said the acting conductor, and he hid n't more than said that than he bit another man under the ear. 'Ticket or fare,' Bays the acting conductor, and that man unloaded, "In less time than it takes me to tell it every man was on his feet with money in bis hand waiting to pay, and every one of them did pay. "The acting conductor brought the roll to me and said: 'You want to hit these chaps under the ear when you want fare.' "But I never had the courage to do it, and I soon after resigned. I never knew who my benefactor was. I asked his name and he answered: " 'Y'ou got your money, didn'tyou?' "I said 'yes.' " 'Well,' he added, 'don't ask any foolish questions,' "1 saw him frequently after that, but never learned his name. He always paid his fare, and I never hit him under the ear for it, either."
