THE 1 SAVANNAH RECORDER.
/ Friday, January 31, 1879.
Wouldn’t Kiss His Bride Before
Folks.
[From the Sacramento (Cal) Union, Jan. 20.]
Justice Alexander was called upon
Saturday morning to unite in wedlock,
“Melican fashion,” Ah Yung and To
Ying. At the conclusion of the cere¬
mony the Justice suggested that, in
order that everything should be done
strictly in accordance with the pro¬
visions of section 500,900 of the Code,
it would be incumbent upon the bride¬
groom to kiss the bride then and there,
or get some one else to do so. The
bridegroom, who had no idea of taking
the else,” Judge 8 hint as to the “some he one
quietly intimated that kissing, was but
willing he to do all necessary Chinese
preferred to have the
spectators of the wedding invited out
doors first, as they did not consider it
the right thing exactly to kiss one’s
wife before folks. The Celestial specta¬
tors took a walk for a minute or two
accordingly, and the new made hus¬
band gave his wife a series of such
earnest smacks as to lead to the belief
that he had been waiting months for a
good chance. After the wedding, cake
and wine, cigars, etc., were hospitable partaken
of, the Benedict doing the
in first class style.
The South’s Claims lor Money.
As to getting money out of the
Treasury, whatever we are justly en¬
titled to we want. We won’t quarrel
about the claims of so-called Southern
loyalists; but we will quarrel with Mr.
Bragg and other Northern men of both
parties if we do not soon secure some
sort of an equalization of national aid.
We claim that the North has received
an undue share of national aid, and
that now it is but justice for some little
help to be extended the crippled South. been
For hundreds of reasons that have
given hundreds of times, we want help
to build a railroad across Southern soil
to the Pacific. Because it is just and
proper we want help to improve the
navigation of the Mississippi river and
to reclaim the Mississippi valley. The
South asks these things not as a beggar,
but because she believes she is entitled
to them. If Mr. Bragg and other
Northern Democrats justice are so opposed refuse to
these measures of as to
them with a snub, they must not be
astonished if leading Southern men
seek them through other party affilia¬
tions.— Vicksburg (Miss.) Herald.
The Commune of Samnauue, one of
the most remarkable, as it is one of the
least known, in all Switzerland, is
situated in a mountain valley, 6,000
feet above the level of the sea, and
almost cut ofF from the world. The
inhabitants fetch their daily supply of
provisions from Martinebruck, on the
other side of the Inn, and for the
greater part of the distance, seven
hours in all, they have to carry every¬
thing on their backs up the steep
mountain paths. They get their letters
from the Austrian village Rauders,
which involves a walk for the postman
of ten hours, four thither and six back.
Fifty years ago the members of the
Commune met together, and, being of
opinion that German was on the whole
a Ynore desirable language for the
ordinary purposes of life than then
mother tongue, they resolved thence¬
forth to speak German only, and to
teach it to their children. So thorough¬
ly has this purpose beeu carried out
that, with the exception of a few old
people, the Romamsh speech of their
native tongue, has been completely valley. for¬
gotten by the inhabitants ot the
Senator Sharon’s maiden speech in was
made in a good cause. It was sup¬
port of the memorialists of Nevada
againot the extortions of the Central
Pacific Railroad Company. This com
^ pany, with eighty’-eight stockholders,
owns a road 895 miles long, from Ogden
to San Francisco, toward the building $27,
of which the government gave
885,120 and 12,100,000 acres of land,
of which part has been sold at the
average price of thirteen dollars an
acre. For the building ol this road the
government paid more than $30,000 a
mile ill cash, and yet the company
systematically swindles all who have
to travel over it. From San Francisco
to Nevada is about 400 miles, but any
one who wishes to come from Nevada
to any point east of Missouri has to
pay the same fare as if he had started
from the terminus on the coast.
Abraham Hale, an old negro man,
aged 69 years, on the plantation of Mr.
Morgan, in Dooly county, has 26
children grown, 22 of whom are now
living. Abraham is a faithful and
hard-worker. Last year he made seven
bales ol cotton, two hundred and fifty
bushels ol corn, and plenty ol potatoes
and meat to do him uutil the uext crop
is ready for use. If some of the young
colored" men had energy like this old
man the cry of hard times would be
heard no more in the laud, but peace,
plenty and prosperity would gladden
the eye on every side.
A point in Lincoln s history, upon
which there has been some dispute, and
which even his biographer tried to
darken, has been cleared up now be¬
yond the possibility of further doubt or
question. That Lincoln s parents were
married, and that the story ol his
illegitimacy was therelore the result ol
carelessness and inefficiency in search
iug records, or was a mere reckless as
sertiou, is established by the certified
copies of the recuidn.
Private Secretaries for Senators.
Several years ago President Grant,
who was always generously disposed in
his views of how the public money
should be dispensed, suggested that the
States should erect a mansion house in
Washington for each of their Senators.
Somehow or other this idea, although
it is likely that some Senators approved
it, did not bear fruit, and Senators are
still compelled to hire houses or lodg¬
ings, like ordinary men. They have to
hire other things and persons, too, and
it probably costs them a pretty sum of
money. At any rate Senator Lamar,
of Mississippi, diat has will given notice, so it is
reported, he at an early day
introduce a bill to provide that Sena¬
tors be furnished at the public expense
each with a private secretary. “His
reasons are that a Senator has much
more work to do than he can accom¬
plish without help, and as private sec^
retaries cost money, being now rated in
the market at something like fifty dol¬
lars a month, he should be furnished
with means to employ such a clerk
There are many calls on Senators for
money for charitable and other pur¬
poses, which, in the aggregate, relieve
him of the bulk of his salary. Senator
Lamar says he pays his railway fares,
doesn’t accept street car passes nor free
tickets to the theatre, consequently he
is a poor man. He would, however,
like the luxury of a secretary, and
thinks the government should pay for
it.” Unless we are mistaken there
used to be Senators of the United
States, men pretty well known in their
time, too, men like Henry Clay, Thomas Daniel
Webster, John C. Calhoun, H.
Benton and others, who did a great
deal of work, and who were quite con¬
tent to render their valuable services
to the government for eight dollars a
day and mileage, without dreaming of
private secretaries thrown in. Mr.
Lamar why belongs should to another forsake generation,
but he the old
school ?—Baltimore Sun.
A temperance lecturer who has been
at work in the towns up the Hudson
has been giving a reporter of the King¬
ston Courier a page from his early ex¬
perience in Michigan, Previous to his
arrival in a small town where he in¬
tended to do some work, the boys had
agreed among themselves to go to the
meeting appealed but not to for sign the pledge.
He in vain recruits in the
temperance cause. Not a mau would
move. At this stage of tha proceedings
the belle of the town sprang to her feet
and cried out: “Boys, this is really too
bad. Won’t you sign the pledge?”
Not a soul moved from his feet. Again
the fair belle appealed to the men’s
better nature, but it was of no avail;
they had promised they wouldn’t sign.
Finally the lady said: “Boys, I’ll kiss
the first man who signs the pledge.”
At this juncture up jumped a tall back¬
woodsman and drawlingly exclaimed:
“Siss, I’m yer huckleberry. Whar’s
yer pledge?” The brave girl kissed the
fellow, and the cheering which followed
made the building rattle. This inci¬
dent broke the ice, and before the re¬
former left the town nearly every-one
had donned the ribbon.
Lucretia Mott, who lately delivered
en address before the Pennsylvania
Peace Society, and was unanimously
elected President for the ensuing year,
is, in many ways, one of the most re¬
markable women of the time. Although
vigorous in mind as ever, and taking
part in public affairs, she has just
passed been born her January eighty-sixth year, having
3, 1793. We can
hardly think of a life, single man or
woman still in active unless we ex¬
cept Peter Cooper and Sojourner Truth,
who has reached such an age as Mrs.
Mott. She was one of the very first
Abolitionists in the Republic, having
determined in her fourteenth year,
while at a Quaker boarding school in
this State, to abstain from the use of
anything produced by slave labor. This
was when William Lloyd Garrison, usu¬
ally called the Father of American
Abolitionism, was only 3 years old.
Gordon Pasha, the Governor General
of the Egyptian Soudan, in the course
of the last four months has seized not
fewer than thirty-eight slave caravans.
The punishment of death has been in¬
flicted on three * slave dealers who were
found guilty of mutilating their cap¬
tives. Nevertheless, Gordon admits
that he is yet far from being master of
the evil, and that many years will pass
before abhorrence of this trade will
have really penetrated the masses.
Gordon’s most efficient means for pre¬
venting the importation of slaves into
the Egyptian Soudan lies in the regis
ter which each of the provinces under
him must keep of all slaves in posses¬
sion of the inhabitants. Every non
registered slave is declared at once aod
irrevocably free.
The origin of the plague which is now
is making clearly such terrible the ravages in Russia
traced in Astrakhan cor
raspondence of the Golos The epi¬
demic appeared in the Cossack village
of Vetlyan Stanitza soon after the re¬
turn of two Cossack regiments from the
war ia Asia Minor, and was likely
brought over with their old clothes
and rags. It ’.a well known that there
were many cases of typhus in these
regiments during the war, but it has
also been ascertained that during their
return homeward uo one was attacked
by the disease. Prior tn their home¬
ward march the Cossacks’ clothes and
other effects were disinfected and well
smoked, but probably the men did not
expose all their rags and booty to that
process, and thus many articles re
