The Antiquity of Marriage.
What a perfect day it must have baen,
the one on which the first marriage vow
was taken. '‘Sky without a cloud, at
mosphere without a chill, foliage witt-
out a crumple leaf, meadow without a
thorn ” With the feathered songsters
trilling forth sweet melody under the
blue dome of Heaven, stood the first
couple, perfect in f< rm, feature an' 1
character, to be joined in the sacred
ties, High Heaven officiating.
But our first authentic account of a
marriage ceremony is not given until
the time of Isaac and Rebecca.
When at eventide she came with her
pitvher to the great stone wells and met
the servant of Abraham, who had
been guided by the hand of God,
it being pre-ordained that he should
meet the bride-elect of Isaac there.
And from Rebecca cbe brides of today
get the custom of wearing “bridal
veils.”
In 745 B. C., Rome was founded by
Romulous, and, in order to secure in
habitants, he opened an asylum for
refugees and criminals.
But women were lacking, and in or
der to get them they resorted to a curi
ous expedient.
A great feast was appointed in honor
of Neptune, and‘all the neighboring
people were invited. In the midst of
the games, when the excitement was at
its height, the young Romans rushed
amoDg the spectators, and eseta seized a
young maiden and carried her off cap
tive as bis wife.
As the people became more civilized
the forms changed ag« in, and the con
sent of the parents and maidens had to
be gained. The priest of Jupiter and
ten citizens were n> cessary as witnesses
to the ceremony. A seed cake was bro
ken and solemnly tasted by the nuptia’
pair, and the marriage contract, “Ubi
tu Canis, ibi ego Caia,” was spoken by
the bride.
At nightfall the bride was torn, with
a show of force from her mother’s arms
(in memory of the seizure of the Sabine
vome') and lifted over the threshold.
The next day a marriage feast was giv
en, her off rings brought to her bus-
band’s family, of which she now be
came a member and a Roman matron
Sicce then many charges have taken
place, but mirriage ties, though con
tracted diff.rently, are as holv as ever.
CaLlie Windsor.
All good things ha 1 their origin in
olden times; and, indeed, marriage is
no exc ption to this rule.
Shall we disemtomb some Egyptian
mummy, and beg him for a bit of hi<
life’s romance—the history of bis wed
ding day? Orshall we enter the arched
vault of an old Babylonian family, and,
resurrecting the Chaldean belle, de
mand of her a description of her mar
riage ceremony ?
The Babylonians sold their daughters
at auction. The marriage festival took
place once a year, and no father could
give bis daughter at any other time, or
in any other way.
▲t this festival the girl9 of a mar
riageable age were all dressed in the
elaborate Assyrian style, and were re
splendent with jewelry. Thus attired,
they were put up for auction, and the
highest bidder won^the bride. The
money brought by the sale of the hand
some daughters was given as a dowry
to their less fortunate sisters
The Athenians nad more ceremony
about their marriages, though they did
not have a priestly official Before the
wedding, very elaborate offerings were
made to the goda of marriage; and on
the evening of the wedding day, the
bride, closely veiled, was seated in a
chariot between her husband and his
“best man,” all dressed in festive robes
and garlanded with fiowers. Her
mother kindled the naptial torch at her
ownflre-side; theL, 'with joyful strains
of music, the torch-bearers, who were
the friends and relatives of the bride
and groom, escorted the happy pair to
their future home. It is natural to
presume that, if a payment was made,
* it would be made by the groom, but
here it was the reverse; the brld's fa
ther always paid the groom a large
sum; to recompense, it seems, for in
flicting upon him such a burden.
Another peculiarity which the young
people of the present day would seri
ously object to, was that the parties
moBt concerned weie rarely e-nsulted.
In fact it was a very common thing for
a widow to find herself bequeathed by
her husband to a friend
of his. We cannot help but
think that the legatee would sometimes
be sorely tried to exeroise the virtue of
gratitude. We also wonder at the gen
erosity of those husbands. A man’s
greatest trial in dying nowadays is the
fear that his wife will soon find solace
for her b reaviment in the love of a
second husband.
The marriages of the Hindoors are
conducted today very muoh the same
an they have ever been. Thn bride and
groom are frequently not more than
nine or ten years old, and the contract
it made by tbeir parents.
One of their ceremonies is where tbe
marriages of these young couples real'y
consist in “tying a knot,” the slang ex
pression which we sometimes use in
that connection. A cord is passed
over the boy’s right shoulder and un-
dir tbe left arm, and another over the
girl’s left shoulder and under her right
arm; here the two o^rds are tied in a
knot, and the children are “man and
wife." ' ,
But leaving these ancient though in
teresting nations, we find peculiar mar
riage ceremonies amrng the American
[ndhnsof our country. A custom still
in v°gue among them is this: the young
brave, on a star or moonlit night, sits
under a tree near the domicile of the
girl whose favor be craves, and there
plays love songs on hi 0 flute, or an in-
•trument very much like a flute. If
>.is suit is regarded favorably the girl’s
father comes out and speaks to the
young Indian, tben leads his daughter
half way, where he leaves her, and the
lover takes her to his home. But if be
is doomed to be a “rejected lover,” no
one appears, and he finally puts up his
flute and sadly goes away.
Longfellow has givi n us a beautiful
i lustration of an Indian marriage
where the consent of the maiden merely
was necessary, when Hiawatha asks old
Nokomis for the hand of Minnehaha:
“And Hie lovely Laughing 'Water
Seamed more lov> ly as >le stood there,
t either willing nor reluctant,
AS she went to Hiawatta,
Softly took the sen beslCe him,
While the said, -ml hr shed to say it,
‘I will follow you, mj husband ’ ”
Perhaps it will be well to quote an
author who says, “The reason why so
few marriages are happy is because
young ladies spend their time in mr,i-
ing nets, not in mating cages.”
Beth L. Sanders.
In toe march of civilization the wed
ding finds its legitimate place as well
as all thmga c’se. Fashion, that gen
erous goddess, with bountiful band and
inconstant taste, adds some new charm
each year to the marriage scene. Some
time it would seem to the looker-on that
invention was exl austed and naught
-lse could be devised, then presto
change! an old cut tom is revised, im
proved on, or some entirely new feature
is introduced. Tbe autumn wedding of
of all others is tbe most beautiful. This
has been acknowledged for many
years, and this ia the reason why so
many marriages ire crowded into the
m ruths of October and November. Wed
ding cards this fall bUve been as thick
almost *8 leaves in the valley of Valam-
brosa. They lave come to ub from
every dirtction with Bweet suggestions
of orange blossoms and love and devo
tion.
But no marriage that has occurred
this autumn has excited more general
interest than tbit which has united
Miss Meta Charbcnnier and Mr. James
McGowan. Both of aristocratic birtb,
both favorites in society, it is not sur
prising that around their marriage
should gather so much interest and af
fection. From Georgia’s let ding cities
came a number of ber belles and gal
lants. South Carolina was represented
by her beauty and chivalry. The cere
mony was performed in the l’retbyte-
rian church under the light of many
chandeliers and candles; in the midst of
palms and roses, while the organ chanted
softest, sweetest melody. The I ride
walked slowly up the aisle leaning on
the arm of her distinguished father,
while the choir sang in joyous notes,
“Bring forth the Brides.” It was re
marked by all present that the scene was
simply perfect. Every detail of cos
tume in bride and groom, in brides
maids and groomsmen; evtry arrange
ment in mnsic and decoration;
the choice of ushers and
ministers, all seemed to have
been arranged with tne closest atten
tion. The efiect of the entire scene
was brilliant and impressive.'. It was
remarked on all sides as the distin
guiahed father lead his fair daughter to
the altar, there to be given to the man
of her choice that there never had been
sien a more striking and beautiful
couple. From the ohorch the guests re
paired to the hospitable home of Col
and Mrs. Charbonnier,on Milledge ave
nue, and there was dispensed tbat lib
eral hospitality for which this oouple is
so well known. Here amid bowers of
roses and chrysanthemums congratula
tions were spoken, tbe merry jest went
’round and the wedding feast was en
joyed. Bright and jovial were the
guests that night, and when the hand
of tne clock pointed the “wee ima
hour” they departed, wishing tbat
such occasions would come, and come
again.
On Friday evening following the mar
riage a most elegant reception was ten
dered Mr. and Mrs. McGowan by Mrs.
A. B. Phinizy at her home on Milledge
avenue. To those who were present on
this occasion any attempt at a descrip
tion will seem inadequate; and to those
who were not there it will be impossible
to describe its beauty. Mrs. Phinizy is
one of those charming entertainers who
knows Well the at ef pleasing every
one. Unselfish and generous in her
nature, ehe studies the pleasure of ber
guests and spares neither pains or
means in contributing to tbeir com
fort and happiness. Her home, always
beautiful, never was more attractive
than on the evenirg of this reception.
Tropical ferns and palms were placed
bowls and vases. Suspended from an
arched window was ’a pink rose
umbrella suggesting poetic thoughts
and shedding fragrant odors. In the
archway between tbe parlors was a de
sign that was unique as it was novel,
ft was conceived by Mr. and Mrs. An*
drew A. Lipscomb, and executed by a
Washington florist for the occasion.
Two white doves in graceful perch
cooed their songs of love; beneath was
suspended two larger hearts, one done
in pink carnations centered by the let
ter M. in double violets; tue other done
in white carnations and bs&ring in the
centre the letter C. From ooih sides of
this design was garlanded pink roBes
and wreaths of tender smilax, as fresh
and beautiful as when fiiet kissed by
morning dew. Under this archway the
guests were led to tbe dining room,
where was spread before them a table
covered with choicest daintits and
eparkling with delicate vianda. Every
where was displayed that exquisite
taste and housewifely grace for which
our hostess is so distinguished. She
and her two gentlemanly sons moved in
and out among the guests with a quiet
and graceful ease; with a smile and
pleasant word for every one; with just
such a manner as made each anc all feel
well assured that they were very wel
come. Behind bowers of fragrant roses
aud under tbe inspiration of soft strains
of music, lovers plead tbeir causes,
friends chatted merrily; toasts were of
fered and the hours flew swiftly by.
Reluctantly the guests departed, all
carrying away in their heart of hearts
blessings on bride and groom, memo
ries of a delightful evening, and bless
ings on a perfect hostess.

Free State of Madison is never lehiad
in anything. Tonight at Danielsvilie
they will meet and have a torch-light
procession that will equal any in the
State. They have even gone so far as
to invite Tom Watson to come with his

MOTES AND BEAMS.
Strange as it may seem, it is unques
tionably true lhav tbe man with a beam in
bis own eye is usually tbe one that makes
a.buaiajsa of pulling motes out of bis
brother’a eye. Tbe most censorious peo
ple Iu tbe world are those whose charac
ters are fullest of faults. We content our
selves with simply atatiog tbe fact, and
we leave our readers to work out the
philosophy of it as they may see fit. The
laDgutge ol our Lord in dealing with these
professional critics is imperative to tbe laai
limit: “First cast out tbe beam out o(
thine own eye; and theo shall tbou see
clearly to cast out the mote out of thy
brother’s eye.” Tbe prime business o.
every human being is to seek for the com
plot mess of biB own character before God;
and only in proportion as he secures ibis
end is he competent to instruct, admonish,
and rebuke others. Clear vision does not
come, and cannot come, till tbe beam i
removed from the eye. As long as thi
obstruction remains in place, it distorts
every object upon which tbe eye rests.
Tuere is tomething almost ludicrua in the
very thought ot one’s setting up as an ex
pert oculist while his own sight is thus so
fearfully disordered and disturbed. It
like tbe quack doctor who went through
Western community peddling his “chit
medicines,” while he himselt was shaking
with alternate fits of fever and ague,
Tbe true Christian, lecognizing the forex
of his Master’s words, will hold himsel
amenable to the highest standard of char
acter and conduct; will not excuse him
self for having been tolerant of any im
provable personal deficiencies; will atriv
to remove and put away all bis sins, an
to overcome all his infiimities; and, whe
he has done bis utmost, will still feels ho <
.mmeasurably be has fallen short of the
Divine requirements. But while be juJ
gea himself severely, not to say harstil
he will be inclined to judge everybody el
gently and kindly. In his own couflic
with the world, the a flesb, and the dev.,
ae has learned hew hard it is to walk u
rightly before God, and he feel in h
Heart a tender pity for those of bis bretn
ren who at any point have iailed to sho*
the highest manhood and the most flaw
less virtue. If perchance he detects
mote in a brother’s eye, be willi not make
an outcry over it, so that all the world ma
hear and run to see; nor will he try* t
drummer, and the train whistled for Oma
ha. Nothing more was said; and the por
ter of the car, as be watched them get off
the train, wondered why that group of
six, that bad been so jovial clear through,
bad sdeh a serious! look on tbeir faces.
Certain it was tbat tbeir faces reflected
their thoughts.—Onward.
Dropped Dead.—Mr. John Richards,
an old citizen of Athens went to Co
lumbus to do some work on a bridge
and yesterday the following dispatch
was received from King,tbe contractor
“Mr. John Richards dropped dead this
morning. His remains will be ou U
C. and N. road to-morrow morning.’ 1
Mr. Richards was a rock mason and
was loved by all who knew him. It is
said to be a fatality of tbe family to die
cf heart disease. He leaves a h rge
family and many friends to mourn bis
death. The funeral will probably take
place at Princeton today.
Another Richmond.—Capt. D. Cran
Oliver has shied bis castor in the pest-
ofilce ring, and will be a candid tt for
the po8tma8ter8bip of tbe city of a th-
ens. Capt. Oliver was a gallant Con
federate soldier, going out at tbe start
and solving until tbe finish. He serv
ed as Chief of Police of Athens for
number of years and baa mad; rmny
friends.by bis strict adherance to wl at
he thought to be right. If the Captain
should get the office it could not fall
into better br.nds. He will follow cut
his convictions of right “tbo’ the
Heavens fall.”

WEAVERS PLANS
Are to End Hla Days Plghtlng For the
New Party.
Dks Moines, Nov. 12.—General Wea
ver, the late People’s party candidat<
far president, says his party is not i
temporary affair, but is going to stay iu
the field, and that it will be a factor ii
every future campaign.
He sayB the work of organization will
be pushed all over the country.
General Weaver also says he has re
ceived private advices from Alsbam
which convince him that ha carrieo
that state by 8,000 plurality, and he ex
pects to make a fight for it"
II® Styi Kolb’s Friends
will stand by him at the approaching
inauguration of governor in that state,
and that Kolb will take the oath of
office, and liis friends and supporters
v™** 6 ® Ji? that he secures possession
of the office to which he was honestlv
elected.
Weaver intends to go to Alabama in
the near futflre, and seems determined
to end his days in fighting for the new
party.
Mrs. Nancy Wirts, 1201 Caroline S\,

tbe New Testament more remarkable than

cultivate ‘ above all things” tbat “fervent

and we shall not fall into tbe error of

A TWENTY-FIVE CENT CHANCE.
One of the overland trains coming
through Nebraska ou the Union Pacific
Railroad several years ago, after the long
trip through the mountains and over the
plains, uearing Omaha. Tbe passengers
in one of tbe care, as nearly always hap
pen on transcontinental trains, had grad
ually gathered into little groups, made
themselves known to tbeir fellow-trave
lers, and were passing the time by social
chat. One of these groups was composed
of a couple of tourists returning East after
a season of sight-seeing, a commercial
traveler, and two cowboys, and, a little
to one side, a member of the igroop, but
not taking part in tbe discussions, sat
minister, one of the hardy frontier type.
The commercial traveler, naturally
enough, led all discussions. The conver
sation finally turned on religion—some*
thing of which but one of the group, the
minister, knew aught by experience. Tn e
drummer was a sceptic, and went
on to remark: “Well, you can say what
yon please; I don’t believe a word about
this future life and resnriection, and all
that sort of stuff. Gentlemen, I’ll tell you
what I’d do: 1 would take twenty-five
cents right now for all the chance of
Heaven I’ve got now od^ver expect to
have.”
The minister took a nearer seat*
“My friend,” said he, “be careful. You
can’t afford to make any laah statements.”
“I mean jnst what I said," retorted the
man of many words.)
‘Til take you npsaid the clergyman.
“I’ve only one chance of Heaven myself,
and I’m sure I need as many as 1 ran get.
Tbia will be tbe beat investment 1 ever
made. Hert’syour quarter, and here’s my
address,” banding the drummer a card.
“If you ever want to go back on this bar-
gain, just drop me a line, and I will make
it all right with you. I should certainly
be glad to have you change your mind."
You’re making a bad bargain, but just
as you say.” And the minister got np and
going lefcnrely to the other end of the car,
took a drink of water.
Somehow or other the conversation lag
ged. The drummer looked down at the
floor; the cowboys seemed to search in
vain for something id their pockets, and
the tourists turned their faces toward the
window,but the vacant look in their~eyes
ho wed their thoughts were)elsewhere? Af-
hr a while the minister returned. The
dinmmer was getting nervous.
“Well, parson,” said he, “if you are wlll-
ir g, we will call that trade off. Here’s
ycur quarter I don’t want it. I’m think
ing I’ll take that chance myself. The
L» rd knows I’m bad enough. It’s the on-
Ij chance I’ve got, and I’ve decided to
mt ke the best use of it I know bow.”
The minister put the quarter in bis
pccket, shook hands heartily with the

CRISP ON THE ELECTION.
He Gives His Views at Length on the
FutureOutlook.
Atlanta, Nov. 12.—No Democrat in
tbe country watched tbe result of tbe
election with keener satisfaction than
did Speaker Crisp, who is at bis home in
Americus. He was asked by an Associ
ated Press representative for an expres
sion on the result, and said:
“Tbe election of Cleveland and Ste
venson by so large a majority, demon
strates tbe omnipotence of honesty.
Capital, always timid, did not seek in
vestment in the south when there was
the prospect of the passing of a law
which would disturb.and disrupt exist
ing conditions here. Cleveland's elec
tion dispels this cloud, and we may now
hope for a restoration of confidence and
& renewal of business prosperity.
“The Republican policy of high and
protective tariff had been demonstrated
to the people as most injurious to their
interest, and they want no more of it.
If we have the senate, and it looks as if
we might have it, the Democratic party
will-enact sneh a tariff law as will raise
an ample fund for the economical ad
ministration ot the government and at
the same time open to the people neces
saries of life. If we cannot increase the
price to the cotton producer of what he
makes, wo can increase the purchasing
power of what he gets for liift crop, and
thus greatly benefit him. This is true
of every other industry in the country.
We had the strongest "candidates in the
country. They stood on a platform
which met the approval of the people
and the campaign has been magniti
ceutly made. Locally we have routed
our adversaries.
“The People’s party was in Georgia in
significant in numbers, bnt practically
there was a fusion between it and the
Republicans, so that we had to contend
against the combined strength of both
“The Republican managers iu Geor
gia had printed upon their tickets in
each district the names of the People’s
party candidates for congress. This
was a practical indorsement of such
candidates by the Republicans, and thn
colored people generally voted the ticket
as it was received from headquarters
In the congressional districts the num
ber of the People’s party votes which
People’s party candidates received for
congress is reported by the number of
votes which were cast for Weaver. All
in excess of that number were cast by
Republicans. Our victory means local
self-government and home rule, and the
prosperity of the great masses of the
American people.”
THE SAN FRANCISCO EuECTIO!
The Latest Returns I-Lice the Result Very
Much in Doubt.
San Francisco, Nov. 12.—The latest
returns from California seem to place
the result of the presidential election in
this state very much in donbt. Late re
turns from the interior have increased
the estimated total vote over 10,000, and
have increased Harrison’s plurality near
2,000, which would give Cleveland a net
plurality of 477, .if San Francisco gives
■ him 7,992, as reported.
There are still eighteen counties from
which less than two-thirds of the pre
cincts have reported. The final result
will depend upon these returns, and
npon the result found by the official
count of the vote of San Francisco.
THE NEW ORLEANS STRIKE.
Half-Hearted Men Weakened and the
Merchants Won the Fight.
New Orleans, Nov. 12.—The big
■trike is off. The workmen have virtu
ally surrendered.
Thursday an effort was made by the
amalgated council to reopen the ques
tion of arbitration, but it fell flat and
the merchants remained firm in their
position. The men were half-hearted,
and the result was the termination of
She trouble, and in a victory for the
Employers.
A Deliberate Murder In Alabama.
Birmingham, Nov. 12.—At Brooklyn,
Conecuh county, the Democrats were
jollifying, and John Thames, a People’s
partyite, fired into the procession. J.
S. Rose was fatally wounded and died
soon afterwards. Robert Duggan is
badly wounded, but is expected to re
cover. The murder was deliberate,
Thames having no provocation beyond
the exultant shouts of his party oppo
nents. .

MURDER IN JEFFERSON.
A Democratic Negro Kills Another

During the Cleveland celebration on
Thursday night last in Jefferson, Lyfe
Fuller waq stabbed and killed by a ne
gro named Marshall.
There is no cause given for the killing
and the coroner’s jury returned a ver
dict of murder.
Jefferson had a celebration of the
Democratic victory Thursday night
and all the town turned out to cele
brate. These two negroes were good
Democrats, and Lyle Fuller, the one
killed, had always voted the Democrat
ic ticket, but too much whisky oaused
a difficulty while tbey were in the pro
cession, and Marshall drew his knife
and stabbed Fuller, killing him in
