TRIUMPH FOR FREE GOVERNMENT.
Washington Post, (Dem.): It
must be regarded as a triumph of
free government and of Republican
institutions that the restoration of
the conquered to equal citizenship
•should have been so speedily pos
sible, and that, amid the memories
of the contest, an era should have
arisen in which the natural sent,
ments regarding honest purpose or
brave actions ou cither side are not
incompatible with the duty which
a citizen owes both to the presen
welfare and the future progress of
his country.
A KAIMCAL NOT ALAHMED.
Philadelphia Press, (Rep ): The
country at large can forgive the
South for turning its hack to the
light a day or two to pay homage
to the personal qualities which en
deared Mr. Davis to the hearts of
her citizens during the weary years
of war; but neither the country nor
the South will uphold Mr. Davis in
misconstruing his present recep
tion into any regret for the re
sults of the rebellion or any post
mortem indorsement of the wicked
dogmas which lie buried at Appo
mattox and by whose unhallowed
grave he remains sole watcher and
mourner.

A Marriage Mart (n Roiimanla.
From the Pall Mu I Oazetlc,
A remarkable custom exists
among the Roumanians living in
the westerly Carpathians. Every
yeir, at the Feast of Apostlra
Peter and Paul, a market is held
on the crest of the Gallia, from
5,000 to 0,000 feet above the level
of the sea, and here all the marri
ageable girls of the entire district
assemble with their parents in
order to be viewed and claimed.
Mothers, aunts, gPand-mothers,
and various other female friends
contribute to the dowry, and this
completed, it is carried to the
market on the Qaina in neatly made
trunks, decorated with flowers, and
carried by the family’s best horses.
Cattle, bees, anil other household
requisites are also added to the
dowry.
On the Gaina every family which
has a marriageable daughter occu
pies a distinct tent in which the
dowry is exhibited,and in which the
bride-viewers are expected. The
bachelors, too, ate accompanied by
parents or relatives, in whose com
pany they inspect the girls who
are eligible. The young men bring
the best they possess, and each
must particularly come with a
girdle of gold or silver.
After the brides are chosen the
public betrothal takes place, being
conducted by a hermit wno lives in
this onely spot. The mark of betro
thal is not a ring, but a beautiful
ly embroidered handkerchief. The
betrothal is in many cases prear
ranged; but the ceremony must be
gone through all the same. If a
girl goes to the market knowing
beforehand that an admirer will be
there to claim her, so much the bet
ter for her. Still she must take her
dowry and occupy her tent and
placed herself ou view like the rest.

Carp Hatched In Four lluja.
From (hn Washington (On.. Chronicle.
Mr. Henning .Vlurdcn, ofTalifer-
ro county, lias a carp pond, and
watches their habits closely. On
Tuesday he put pine and cedar
brush in his pond, and on Wednes
day evening noticed that the fish
were spawning on them. On Sun
day afternoon following lie broke
olf a small limb which was covered
with eggs and carried it to his
house lo place it in a glass jar, ro
as to have a few pet fish. In a lit
tle while after the jar was filled
with water his daughter noticed
tliat one ol the eggs was hatching,
and in a short time the little fish
were bursting out in every direction.
Within 30 minutes every egg on
the limb had hatched.
As fast as the fish were released
from their prison houses they sank
lo the bottom of the jar, and re
mained ten or fifteen minutes, ap
parently to rest and get strength,
after which they would .ise to the
top, and commence their life of
swimming.
This experiment shows that the
carp eggs hatch out in four days,
and that when they commence the
process is almost simultaneous.
Mr. Murdcn related the facts to the
writer himself. He says that he
has made a great suceesa^u bis jisb
pond, and is satisfied that the carp
Is the fish for hie eoantry.
A Mule Attacked by Hydrophobia.
From the Watthlnfflon (Ga.) Chronicle.
Mr. J. W. Arnold tells us the
following: About five weeks ago a
mad dog passed through Wylie N.
Pope’s plantation, and while going
through a lot on the place bit a*
mule belonging to Wellborn San
ders, a negro. < in last Thursday
the mule went mad, and Mr. Arnold
was sent for to see it. When lie
reached Mr. Pope's he found the
mule in a strong inclosure, rearm
kicking, biting, and showing ev
sign of hydrophobia. His tonj
was hanging out, and it was
swollen that the animal could no?
shut its mouth. It seemed as if he)
had been biting it. After fiudiag
that nothing could be done, and
that the mule was getting worse
every moment, it, was decided that
he had better be killed. Mr. Hal
Arnold shot him in the bead with
a breech-loading shotgun, killing
him instantly. He was bitten on
the n09e.
Dressed lo Gold Dust.
“Speaking of extravsgance in
dress,” writes a correspondent,
“the most expensively dressed man
I ever saw was au African chief on
the Gold Coast. His wives had
anointed him thoroughly with palm
oil and then powdered him from
bead to foot with gold dust. You
uever saw in your life a man got
up so utterly regardless ot expense. ”
