w i A GRETNA GREEK j THRIVING MATRIMONIAL MART IN INDIANA. Jeffersonville a Haven ot Bliss lor Kentucky's Kloping Lovers? The Justices Reap a Rich Harvest. HAT noted farm f' , stead, in Dumfriesshire, Scotland (Gretna Green), the fame of which outlived manjr generations; although, by a change in the { English and Scotch marriage laws.it has been shorn of the glory that formerly attached to it as the Vioiron nf Keruritv | J Iwhere love-sick lad Mi an(* *ass*e nrigbt be <-^5?ffiP?i"r joined by the nup'?i? tial tie, for better or worse, * without let or hindrance, is known to all the reading world. * But, says a letter from Jefferso nville, Ind., to the Chicago Herald, the presj tige that was once the peculiar right of the Gretaa Oreen of history h&sitscounterpart in America in this city of goodly morals, which is the county seat of Clark nnnn whose nrinciDal busi WUUU,JI -I r . ness street, at almost any boar of any day of any week may be seen a motely group of would-be actors in that great comedy of love's consummation that is as old as Adam, and which loses none of its interest as the years go whirling along the boulevard of time. Back in the days when Henry Clay was the idol of Kentucky and the admiration of the country at large the hamlet of Aberdeen, in Brown County^ Ohio, attained to something like notoriety' as a market place for hearts and hands, the medium through which the marriage contract was executed being found in the person of Squire Beasley, who long since passed on to his reward fnr crnod?let it be said in charity? he had done in the flesh in bringing happiness?transitory, at least?to man and woman kind. But the achievements i: W/VMF? MAGISTRATE JOHN WARE. s wrought by this functionary were as a single blade of grass to the whole particle of sod'when compared witn the exploits of latter day 'squires that flourish still, and wax fat in the pursuit of their t most laudable profession. From a small beginning marriages by a magistrate have grown to large proportions and are looked upon with favor by all classes of society, who seem now *a to prefer, above religious rites, this ?"f />? ???#? nnnn the m arrincrp TP. UiUKC Ui CUhVliU^ U|jvu vmv - ?jj * lation. There are good reasons for this preference which it were well to expiain. , In the first place, such marriages are no longer looked upon as disgraceful, as , they were formerly held to be by most persons. There has been a radical change a of sentiment in this direction within the last decade, so that now quite as much g respectability attaches to one as the other, and losses-sustained by the parson in the abridgement of perquisites that were formerly exclusively his have been gained by the more jovial 'squire.* Indeed, such are the inroads made upon , the minister's income as to materially lessen auxiliary earnings that brought a temporal comfort to his household. L Under the laws of Kentucky, which W State furnishes more than ninety per cent. [ of thoee happy pilgrims to this shrine of [ wedlock, a girl may not reach the inar| riageable age before twenty-one years, wherea? her debut in society is frequently rnL^tifAL nuurt IU un made at ttie age of sixteeu or earlier, a period,of life when the ardor of romantic sentiment often reaches its culmina tion, and it is then she begins to bemoan the requirements of a cruel law that would restrain the one important > step which is ever uppermost in her mind. But she may have a friendly A ally in a bordering commonwealth, the P statutes of Indiana permitting her to ! marry at eighteen, and, knowing this, | rather than suffer a long period of sus- | nonco arhirh mirrhfc nrr?w? fatal to her ~ ?I ? ? I " future prospects, she is apt to become the prominent one of two figures who j , will seek this friendly Gretna by that i method of procedure commonly recogtnized as an "elopement." Now and then clients return to make [ & friendly call on the 'squire who may ; have been instrumental is placing them j on the very pinnacle of martial bliss, or j vice versa. The old gentleman from a I remote county comes to bring a gilt of | |H a rack of potatoes, and to sa? incidentally that "it's a great pity that that air H weddin' of mine an' Rebecca's didn't KK come off forty year airiier." In another instance, the wife, who had been a W schoolma'am writes, "Hezekiah went ? out back of our bouse, in the mountains K last;Saturday afternoon and killed a wildbat that weighed sixty pounds, and a bu^k that weighed 280 pounds. We 1 I will have the bead and boras of the deer mounted, and the hide of the wildcat made into a rug, and send them to you." It is not uncommon for married couples to return after two years, with the offspring of their union, to exhibit it to the magistrate. Frequently they bring other suitors with them to be marenftf nt'u uu iuv oj/wt But the magistrate has a most useful adjunct in the person of the "matrimonial agent," or "lunner," or "steerer," or 4'bride-grabber," bp which pleasing terms he is variously known, a character whose audacity was never equaled in the palmy days of the cab driver at Niagara. The function of this gentleman is to 6erve the groom for a consideration, in his laborious seurch for the matrimonial office in a strange town; and that the service is most attentively bestowed can be attested by anyone at' all familiar with the estimable agent's methods. Twenty years ago magisterial mar~ '*> i-Hie ^nmmunitv. but nages were ian> u ??? ^, ? thereafter, by degrees, the practice grew until it was not long before the shrewd official could see in it possibilities of considerable pecuniary profit. One of the firet to lay hold of the golden opportunity was Justice Ephraim Keigwin, a defiEEfci ffl I Hfliii _| iiibr 1f|^| etcc SQUIRE KEIGWm's OFFICE servedly popular gentleman, who has resided here all his life. His urbanity and kindliness of disposition made him fully qualified, when coupled with his varied experience, for the work which he has in hand. Formerly a druggist, doinjj a good business, he was in 1876 elected as a magistrate, and since that time up to November 30th of last year, has united 6783 couples in marriage. His tenuie of office, which has been continuous, embraces a period of sixteen years. By the advantage which always come3 to those who first enter npon any line of business, Justice Keigwin has easily maintained the position of leader in the profession of nia c&oice. ui tne variableness of the fee which is his reasonable compensation for service, it should be stated that it ranges from $3 to $10, although in one. case, such was the unspeakable joy of his liberal client, $35 was thrust into the hand of the astonished judge. The building in which his office is located is his property, and is well furnished. There is, however, one other magistrate with whom the popular officer above referred to is required to share some of the honor' and profits of his . c -1 t .? .#? # 6QTTIKE WAKE'S OFFICE. office, and while no rivslry exists be-' tween the two gentlemen, who occupy identical positions, he ha; no mean competitor in the person of Enquire John Ware, who formerly held the honorable position of Mayor of the city. Justice Ware, who has lived forty-tbree years in this community, enjoys the respect and esteem of all who know him. Twelve years a magistrate, he has within that time brought happiness to 2000 couples, or full 4000 ardent souls. Incidental to this business of the blending of hearts that are adjusted for heat, cold and position, it may be said, like all other prosperous industries, its beneficial effects are felt by those who have no direct connection or interest, such as the railroads, the ferry line and the lijpe. The principal outside beneficiary, however, is the the county clerk, ?i 1 r wuuee auuutu rcvcuuc ucuvcu num bu? source alone is estimated at not less than two thousand dol.'ars. A Feminine Champion of the People's Party. Mrs. Mary Leas2, of Kansis, accompanied General Weaver on h'S stumping tour throughout the country during the recent Presidential-canvas, and divided the honors with him?winning the lion's share, according to the Chicago Herald. In many respects Mrs. Lease is a remarkable woman. Thoss who have heard her declare she has the gift of oratory in a marked degree. Her deep, powerful ucd resonant voice commands instant attention and enables her hearers to catch every word under circuir.stanccs most trying to a public speaker. "I have heard her," s?id Congressman-elect jonn uaviB me oiner uay, "speuK ior two hours in the open air to aa audience that 110 man's voice, as I believe, could have compassed. Her tones seem to cut the air and penetrate to a great distance." It is a voice that is startling and controlling. Her style is her own, the sentences short and strong and poured out with a volubility rarely equaled. It is a torrent of soeech launched at the most vunerable point of attack indicated by her keen intelligence. Her figure on the platform is commanding. She is tall and stately in bearing, and was ODce introduced by General Weaver to a St. Louis audience as "Our Queen Mary." Her hair is MIIS. MAltY E. LEASE. black, eyes blue aud complexion fair. By many she is thought extremely handsome. The accompanying picture gives a correct idea of this champion of the People's Party. The domestic side of Mrs. Lease's life is not the least of her creditable characteristics. She is a iond mother and a good wife. Her home is in Wichita, where her husband, who is a pharmacist, is engaged in business. Her children -? - * s i? u are bright and well trained, ana me eia? eat sod, now almost grown, will probably follow her to the rostrum. The Bohemian Twins. The twin sisters, Rosa and Josepha, who were lately exhibited :n Vienna, excited the interest, not only of scientists, but also of the la^ public, on account of the union ol their bodies. They were born in Skreychow, Bohemia, and are now fifteen years old. Their parents, simple people named Blazel, gave them up to the French fmpresario Forbe, who THE BdHEMTAN TWINS. first brought them before the public in Paris at the "Theatre Imperial <3e la Gaite," and is now taking them on a tour through Europe. Rosa and Josepha, of whom we pub lish an engraving, aie not well grown for their age, but are delicate and lrail. Their complexion and hair are dark, and their faces, which are very much alike, show no traces of their nationality. As will be seen from the cut, the first impression is that they are two perfectly formed individuals with a connection at the hips, but an investigation proves that this is not the case; for, although the upper parts of their bodies are separate, the backbones grow together in the region of the coccyx, and there is only one pelvis; strangely enough, however, there are four legs instead of two. Therefore, we have not two complete beings that have grown together, but two half female bodies, 60 to speak, that are normally developed only as far as the hips. Under the circumstances a | separation by means of a surgical operaI tion was impossible. When one half of this unfortunate double creature dies, .the other sister must soon meet the same fate.?Illustrirte Zeitung. Skats and Sail.

There's a river dark witn a murKy tiae, Its banks are high and its current wide, And its circling eddies are swift and strong, Its constant roar is the siren's song. The shores are all dark and mirey clay, Strewn with life's hopes along the whole way. The father's pride has gone down its wave, The man of great wealth as well as the slave, The wise, the gifted, the brilliant and grand, Have all been wrecked on ite blighting strand: She who but lately was a laughing bride Now mourns alone by the river side; The widows and orphans who cry for bread Moarn for the father who was worse than dead. That river io made of many a rill. But the cause of all comes out of the still, The poison hid from the light of the sua, Forms the vast tide of the River of Rum. SOUTH CAROLINA'S NEW LAW.

State agents, however, will be empowered to sell liquor, but under such close restrictions as will put it out of the power of most people to buy it. Another clause in the law makes it a misdemeanor, punishable by fine or imprisonment, for any club to have liquor in its possession, even if it is. not sold or given away. The State Legislature tried to pass the most caat-iron liquor law in the world, and it appears to nave done so.?Detroit Free Press. INTERMITTENT DRINKERS. There would be littln use in my describing what I believe to be the cause and the course of intermittent drinking unless I set forth my experience as to the various methods in use to check or cure the disease. It may be asked, "Has not a man a will poweif and can he not of bis own volition abstain from what he knows to be simply self-destru> tion?" My answer, unhappily, must be that a man who has once fairly fallen into the drink habit, whether constant or intermittent, has scarcely any will power while the fit is on him; and,- as I have said, each fit leaves bis will feeoler and less able to withstand the temptation of a sedative of which he has proved the power and of which he is too prone to forget the danger. The intermittent drinker, as soon as he has abstained for a few weeks, forgets the disastrous effects ot his last attack. He believes himself as temperate and discreet a man as any of his friends who takes his pint bottle of claret at dinner and seldom takes more. He does not see why he should not do likewise. It is the hardest thing to convince an intemperate drunkard, wbo is able to abstain for a period, that he can never by any chance become a moderate drinker. Nevertheless, the principle of bis drinking is distinct from that of a mo ierate man. If he tries to return to his two or three glasses of claret, be is absolutely certain to go on to his secret "nip" of brandy or of whisky; and bis "nips" will increase, and be will find himself oack again in the old road to ruin. The patient, if he really wants to be cured, must clearly make up his mind tbat it must be total abstinence or self-destruction, gradual, perhaps, but not tbe less sure. ?National Review. WORRY, DRINK AND LUNACY. It is no new thing to hear of the close connection between indulgence in alcohol and the development ot insanity. Accordinglv we feel no surprise at a statement by Dr. Augustine Planus that a large proportinn *\? f.twx rncoc nf lnnnnr in Paris of late years are attributable to this form of excess. Far mora significant is his observation that drunkenness has increased very markedly in the French capital. This effect is. of course, due to a variety of causes. Among these one is of particular intsreet from its bearing upon the neurotic aspect of the alcoholic dyscrnsia. It is the pressure and worry of overwork, prodably combined as usual in the like circumstances with irregular feeding and want of sleep. Though felt by all classes of workers, an important characteristic of its action as a cause of alcoholism is its increasing influence among those who labor with their brains. Artists, authors, and especially journalists?a group of persons by no means usually given to excess?are enumerated as having succumbed 1 to the subtle poison; and this result has, doubtless with truth, been attributed to the, craving depression of mental fatigue. It is not difficult, indeed, to trace a connection here, and we may accept it as a warning that foroed labor is ever prone to become the natural parent or otaer ana worse excseses. The best work, however hard, is always methodical enough to permit of timely rest and of regular nutrition, and the tuil recognition of this fact is a mere question of public utility which we hope to sets more and more widely admitted in practice.?London Lancet. ALCOHOL IN SUROKRT. The Journal of Inebriety invitee attention to the "Manual of Operative Surgery," by the well known surgeon of the London Hospital, Dr. Frederick Treves, in which, reierring to the risks attending operations on the bodies of drunkards, he says: "A scarcely worse subject for an operation can be found than is provided by the habitual drunkard. The condition contraindicatee any but the most neoessary and . urgent procedures, such as amputation for severe crush, herniotomy, and the like. Tbt mortality of these operations among alcoholics is, it is needless to sav, enormous. Many individuals who state that they -*dc not drink.' and who, although perhaps never drunk, are vet always taking a little stimulant in the form of 'nips' and an Occasional glass,' are often as bad subjects for surgical treatment as are the acknowledged drunkards." , ? "Of the secret drinkers," continues Mr. Treves, "the surgeon has to be indeed aware. In his account of 'Calamities ofr Surgery,' Sir James Paget mentions the case of a person who was a drunkard on the sly, and yet not so much on the sly but that it was well known to bis more intimate friends. His habits were notaaiced alter, ana one or aif Angers was removed because joint disease bad spoiled It. He died in a week or tea days with spreading cellular inflammation, such as was far from nnlikely to occur in as habitual drunkard. Even abstinence from a Icohol for a week or two before an operation does not seem to greatly modify the result. Dwelling on the immense importance to an operator of cultivating "a surgical band," the same writer point* out that "a shaky ban i may be developed by irregular zaodes of living, by the. moderate use of alcohol, and by sinoidng.'1 TEMPERANCE NEWS AND NOTES. A temperance society has been established in Harvard College. Frances WiUard is to spend some time irr England with Lady Henry Somerset this winter talking of temperance. There are 27,000 places for the sale of liquor in Paris, and throughout the RepuDlic there is one saloon for every eightyseven people. The Chief of Polioe in Baltimore says that he never found boys in the saloons until lager beer was introduced and game3 prepared to entice them in. A law was passed in England in 1750 to the effect that at parties "ladies must not get drunk on any pretext whatever, and gentlemen not before 9 o'clock." Since women have been appointed State librarians in Kentucky and Mississippi, an absence of wnmy and tobacco is noticed, and a reign of order and attention begun. "Take something with me," remarked one laboring man to another, beading him toward a saloon. "Take something Irom your wife and cnildren, you mean," replied the other, and tho first man blushed uud , looked ashamed. A friend to the Woman's Christian Temperance Union of Moline, III., was Mrs. Ann Atkinson, whose legacy oC $300 for the work of the anion was accepted with deep thankfulness and appreciation by her sorrowing co-workers. A zealous missionary has carried the war from Africa into Medford. He delivered an impassioned address in that ancient Massachusetts town the other day and appealed to the inhabitants not to ship any more rum ta the East Indies. The highest statistical authority in the United States, David A. Wells, declares that the yearly waste in the United States through drink is at lease $500,000,030. la forty years 110,000,000,003 have been thus wasted. This is equal to the whole savings of tbe people from 1783 to 1857. The "Mint House" ot Boston. The "mint house" in Boston existed about thirtyTfour years. All the coins issued trom it bore the dates 1652 or 1662, the same dies being used, probably, throughout the thirty-four years of coining. Seme coins had been made in "RpMnuda for the use of the Virginia colony as early as 1644. Copper coins, bearing the figure of an elephant, were Btruck in England for the Curolinas and New England in 1684. Coins were also Btruck for Maryland, bearing the effigy of Lord Baltimore. A mint was established at Rupert, Vt., by legislative authority in 1785, whence copper cents were issued, bearing on one side a plow and a sun rising from behind hills, and on the other a radiated eye, surrounded by thirteen stare.?Boston Cultivator.

Moat persons who are familiar with it think of it as an ordinary weed of small size, and even so high an auihority as the Encyclopedia Britannica refers to it as growing in "treeless valleys and slopes." It will astonish most persons to know that it sometimes grows to suck proportions as to provide a section of country with trees of its own wood, producing gTOves > of thick-trunked and comparatively tall trees, instead of mere weeds. Professor El wood Meade, the State Engineer of Wyoming, while exploring the northern and central parts of that State last summer, came upon a district where the sage brush thrived-thus gigantically. Many of tbe sage trees tftat He saw were eighteen feet high, with trunks at laast a foot in diameter. This was in the Big Horn Bafin, east of the National Yellowstone Park and northeast of the Wind River Indian reservation, where the No Wood River joins the Big Horn. Professor Meade leturned to Cheyenne enthusiastic in his praise of the basin now little known except to the stockmen whose cows range there. It is as big as some of tbe older States, and will provide plenty of water for irrigation from the tributaries of the Big Horn River. Sfeveral very large irrigable tracts have been surveyed already. No railroads yet reach the district, but the Burlington and Missouri Railroad is building to Sheridan in the county of that name, and has employed its agents to "spy out the land" beyond. Professor Meade had never seen such big sage brush as he discovered there, but since his return he realizes the truth of Solomon's assertion that there is no new thing under the sun, because he has been informed that at some point in Calfornia the same weed "grows to such proportions that the people cut it for cord wood."?San Francisco Examiner. , A Practical Airship.
