Cincinnati s “Society for the Pro
motion of Marriage,’’ under the aus
pices of which several persons were
married at a picnic last summer, is a
failure. August Myers, one of the
victims, tells a story about his rela
tions with the society. He says that,
instead of getting $75 to begin mar
ried life with, he got but $25, and
that recently, his wife having been
sic 1 ', he sent * doctor’s bill to the
treasurer ol the society, who informed
him that t lie association had dissolved
and the $2,000 made oil" the great
picnic and anniversary, which was at
tended by many thousands of Cincin
natians, had disappeared. The man
agement of the affair fell largely into
the hands ot a party of low politicians
and the result has been disastrous.
The gold rings presented the brides,
he says, have been analyzed and found
to be mostly «f the material with
pied by Le ,

A MATTER OF ASTOSISHXEKT.
[Camming Clarion]
Telegrams from Washington say
that Senator Gordon recommends the
shut-month policy with reference to
any abuse that may hereafier be
heaped upon the South, or Southern
men, by tho Republicans, It'it not
astonishing that sueh men as Gordon
did not not see and advise this coarse
twelve years ago? This ia what we
have advocated ever since tho close of
the war. It was contrary to the
teaohings of history and of human na
ture that a defeated party, in a great
war, could secure favors, by contin
ued opposition.
