Now that the election is over
it can be seen what the cotton
market will do. Four years ago
to-day the market broke badly
and went downt and down for
several months. Eight years
ago the market went up for
some three weeks immediately
after the election and then took
a downward turn that ended in
4 cent cotton. We shall see
what it will do now. It should
be remembered that cotton is
now higher than it was on
either of the two previous presidential
election years.
Why is It?
"It is a matter for wonderment
why a murder mystery
should be of so much greater
importance when the murder
occurs in New York than when
it is committed somewhere elso
in the country. Crimes as
strange and as interesting are
committed elsewhero but it is
only when they are in New
York that the telegraph wires
are loaded with the details and
tue pages of the whole newspaper
press of the country are
made to bulge with the recital.
A week ago this morning the
body of a murdered negro was
found in a blacksmith shop in
Charlotte. It was a strange case
and there is no clue to the murderer,
but a newspaper column
or two served to exhaust the
facts and the theories and the
subject was dismissed. If this
had happened in New York the
papers there would have devoted
pages, day after day, to it.
with illustrations galore, and
column after column would
have been telegraphed out about
it until all the country knew ot
it and was tiered of it. Why is
it?"?Charlotte Observer. The
State would say it is because
the New York papers?or some
at least?are more sensational
than the Charlotte Observer,
Or, to put it differently, the
Charlotte Observer is more
sensible than the New York papers.
But all the fault should
not be attributed to the news
papers. The people who lionoi
themselves by reading tho Char
lotte Observer everyday, would
be disgusted should that papei
publish revolting murder stories
filling column upon column day
after day, but the New York
kao/lnwd ua/\?v* f a / ! a?v\ a ? /I 4-i
i uaui;io iicuiu IU uonui'iiu tiiai
sort of stuff?and hence they
get it. And why the metropolitan
life should foster a taste for
the sensational is another question.
The people of new York
cortainly have more varied diversions
in reach than the people
of Charlotte, yet the former
crave a fresh sensation which
would he revolting to Charlotte's
citizens. It is useless to dispute
about tastes, so we have been
told.?The State.

HOW
THEY MARRY IN CHINA. <
Customs Which Appear Yery
Ridiculous in Our Eye*. J
The marriage of the upper
classes in China is surrounded h
by a number of very elaborate I
| ceremonies, though those of '
humbler station content themselves
with more primitive
rites.
Among the classes supposed
. to be better off a great feast is
one of the most important items
i of the day's proceedings. This,
which answers to the wedding
breakfast, is spread on tablos at
the oast and west of tlio dining *
hall. But, curiously enough, *
neither bride nor bridegroom is
permitted to taste of the deli- j
cacies thereon displayed. In- ^
stead a meal for the "happy s
man" is spread in the court- '
yard. Beforo the ceremony ho 1
makes obeisance to his father
and tlio wedding guests, knool- r
ing down and knocking his hoad *
six times against the ground. a
The father hands him a treble t e
of wine and tolls him to sond 8
for his bride. r
The formula in the bidding 8
nover alters. It is in the follow- *
ing words : "Go my son, and 8
seek your wife and behave in all 8
things with prudence and wis- *
dom." The sedan chair, or pal- *
anquin, which is dispatched for c
the recoption of the brido is invariably
painted red and is ^
ofton richly adorned with paint- c
ings and carvings. A profusion c
gilding is always ono of its t
most characteristic features. A 1
largo procession, including a '
baud of music, is always sent *
as escort to the blushing bride. 8
i Gay lanterns and banners,
torches, umbrellas and fans are ^
i always carried in the proces- *
sion, not to mention various (
. emblems appropriate to the oc- i
i casion. Thus a tiny orange tree, *
i well leaded with golden fruit, 1
i is taKen along as a symbol of a *
i large family. A goose and a 4
gandee are emblematical of con- (
, jugal fidelity, while a dolphin
I means worldly prosperity and a 1
i high position. The color of all 1
; the paraphernalia is red, tho 1

nuo 01 rejoicing, xveu inns, reel 1
i lanterns, red umbrellas, togetli- 1
i er with the red painted palan- 1
> quin and tho red costumes of
i the attendants, make a bright
I splash of color. And with tho
. musicians blowing and thump- ,
? ing their hardest, gongs beating, i
> torches spluttering and flaring
and lanterns gleaming a Chinese l
I wedding procession appeals '
powerfully alike to eye and ear. j
It is etiquette for everybody i
to make way for the cortege,
I and China's penal codo provides
a severe punishment for any- '
i body neglecting to do so.
Ilofore tho bride sets forth on i
: her journey to her now abode, ]
; whither she is bidden by a few 1
linos written on rod paper and
presented by the friend of the
bridegroom, answering to the
a m _i i .

kotow to hor father and mother,
drinks a last cup of wine and 1
kneeling listens to harangues
' from her parents on the now
state of life into which sho is
now entering and her duties "
therein. These orations, in the
best style of Chinese eloquence,
occupy somo time. Meanwhile
the poor little bride, on her
knees, listens with what patience
she may command. Ere
stepping into the palanquin she
veils herself in silk of the orthodox
shade of red. Then the
return procession starts.
Arrived at the house, a curious
ceremony takes place, the
bride being presented with a
tray containing rice and betel
nuts. Sho must prostrate herself
at the feet of her future
husbimd, to denote her complete
submission to his will.
Then the girl unveils, and for
the first time the bridegroom
sees his bride's face.
To remove a troublesome oorn or
bunion : First soak the oorn or bunion
in warm water to soften it, then pars
it down as oloselj as possible without
drawing blood and apply Chamberlain's
Pain Balm twioe daily; rubbing
vigorously for five minutes at
each applioation. A oorn plaster
should be worn for a few days, to protect
it from the shoe. As a general
liniment for apenins, bruises, lameness
and rheumatism, Pain Balm is
uneuuaied. For sale by J. F. Maokey

Loudon, Nov. 3.?Lord Roberts
lends from Pretoria striking appeals
to his countrymen to rerain
from turning the welcome
>f the home coming troops into a
lrunken demonstration. lie expresses
sincer hope that the wel

end to excesses that will tend to

lelights to honor and lower the
icldiers of the queen in the eyes
>f the world, which has watched
vith undisguised admiration the ?

"or their sovereign and country."
"1 therefore beg earnestly,"
lavs Lord Roberts, "that the pubic
will refrain from tempting my
gallant comrades, but will rather
lid them to uphold the splendid
eputation they have won for the
mperial army.
"I am very proud to bo able to
