Having whipped Turkey, the Balkan

The mutilation of the corpse of
the dead negro, Austin ?fiend
though he was?will not tend to enhance
the standard of Southern
chivalry in the eyes of the civilized
world. On the contrary, it gives to
critics "up North" a vehicle wherein
to carry throughout the nation
the abuse and persecution heaped
"upon their *'brother in black, down
South," according to these narrowminded
theorists. We are glad to
note that Governor Blease decently
interred the thumb of the dead desperado
sent the Governor by one of
his admiring constituents, instead
of keeping the grewsome relic among
his treasures, as his enthusiastic admirer
doubtless intended him to do.

report them better.
Mrs M P Brown, who has been

as fat as ever.

Mr R A Brown has commenced to
gather his oat crop, This crop
around Leo is almost a total failure,
many fields being planted late. The
dry weather is the cause of it.

Marriages Less Polite Then.
Marriage licenses to the record
number of 265 were taken out at
the city hall on the last day of May.
Even the hard-headed, unromantic
Romans set down June as the best
month of the year in which to get
married. Neither the Middle Ages
nor modern times have meddled with
the belief that June marriages are
the happiest. We have, however,
thrown overboard the love-philters,
invocations, mummeries and horseplay
that made the marriage ceremony
of old anything but a decorous
occasion for principals or guests.
The matrimonial contract today is a
thousand times more polite. It has
lost the engaging frankness of its
mediaeval originals.
In the good old days, when the
bride was taken "for fairer, for
fouler, for better, for worse," and
promised "to be buxom and bonny"
to her husband, her father gave the
bridegroom one of the bride's shoes
as a token of the transfer of authority.
The bride was made to feel
the change by a blow on the head
administered with the shoe. How
much more significant and eloquent
a use of the article than our "refined"
custom of throwing it after
the carriage! The husband took oath
to treat his wife well, in failure of
which she might leave him. As a
point of honor, however, he was allowed
"to bestow on his wife and
apprentices moderate castigation."
An old Welsh law lays it down that
three blows with a broomstick "on
any part of the person except the
head is a fair allowance," while another
provides that the stick "be
not longer than the husband's arm
nor thicker than his middle finger."
The bride, however, had her privileges.
In certain countries it was
her accepted right, the morning after
the wedding day, to ask for any
sum of money or any estate that she
pleased, and her husband could not
in honor refuse. A man had to be
pretty sure of his bride's "intentions"
to run such a risk.
These old-time marriages were
often hard-driven bargains, which
unblushingly displayed a good deal
of unlovely human selfishness. Yet
the rough June knots that were tied
a thousand years ago held faster
than many of the be-ribboned and
be-jeweled bonds we so genteelly ad
jjjst to-day? JVw York World.
