The custom observed every fourth year
of permitting tho fnircr sex to assume the
rights and prerogatives appertaining to
to their brothers during tho remaining

originated Is not definitely known, but
law enacted by thy parliament of Scotland
In tho year 1283 Is doubtless the first statu
tory recognition of tho custom. Tho law
was in follow: "It U statut and ordalnt
that during the relr.e of her malst blisslt

The Last Car Not Ilie Barest.
AN OLD OONDIJOTOn KX P LODES A POl'TJLAIt 1M
rilEBSION THAT IT IS.
"Passengers bnvo nn ldea,"said an old con
ductor yesterday, "that tho last car In a
train Is tho safest, but they aro greatly mis
taken. During an experience of twenty,
two years In the railroad business, I always
avoided the Ihst car. My reasons will be
apparent when I explain.
"j f a rail should happen to be broken,
the last car Is the onu that Is tho most lia
ble lo jump the track. Tho engine and
tho other cars may pass over safely. You
sec the cars keep the rail in place, but
when the last car is reached, there Is noth
ing to brace the parts, tho fractured por
tion is knocked out of position ond tho last
coach is on tbo tics. To Illustrate, I re
member I was riding In a cabooso one
time when I met with a most painful acci
dent. We encountered a broken rail, and
as Is often the case, tho engine and a long
train passed over nil right. Tbo caboose,
being tho Inst car was thrown from the
track, and we rolled over and over. There
was a rcdhot stove In the cabin, and I was
horribly burucd before the train could be
stopped. Ono or two ot tbo brakemen
were severely injured. I havo como to the
conclusion that there is as much danger In tho
rear end of a train as there Is In the for
ward part. Should the train stop another
is likely to telescope you. Oa somo of the
western roads tbu common passenger
coaches arc carried behind and the sleep
ers are put In tho center of the train, for
no other reason than the latter one given."

A pleasant social gathering occurred at
the residence of Mrs. William Erwin,Ncw
lin, Pa., Thursday noon, March 22, 1888.
The occasion was the marriage of Mrs.
Erwin'a only daughter, Hannah, ar.d Mr.
Eugcno D. Tcwksbury, son of E. M.
Tewltsbury of Catawissa.
The wedding cards had been sent on
tlictr mission of invitation a fortnight ear
lier, and in response about sixty guests
intimate friends of the happy couple
camo to honor the occasion. . When the
hour camo Miss Mame Seaborn took her
place at tho organ and played the wedding
march.
Tho beautiful bride was looking her
prettiest, dressed in a handsome light sat
in, while the groom was a "manly looking
man" clad in a suit of black. Rev. Ham
lin, pastor of the bride aud groom, in a
brief and pleasant manner pronounced
them man nnd wife. The bridesmaids
wero Miss Maltha Tcwksbury, sister of
the groom and Miss Ida Hughes of Newlln
The groomsmen were Dr. J. W. Erwin of
Shenandoah and Dr. C. L. Erwlu of Cata
wissa, both brothers of the bride.
The table laden with bountiful provision
now invited our attention nnd how shall
v.o describe that wedding feast? We
forego the task.
Tbo presents were numerous and costly,
showing how highly the contracting paities
wero held by their many friends. The
newly wedded couple took the evening
train at Catawissa for Willtcs-Barre, visi
ting Mr. Henry Robinson, cousin of the
groom's father. From there to Phillpsburg,
Roxbury and Easton to visit relatives of
the groom's mother.

Sum: One week ago yesterday we had,
what some of our best informed citizens
pronounced a corner of a regular western
blizzard, which heaped up the snow that
fell Into tho roads making them impassable
and even sent small drifts through the
crevices Into our houses and bars, making
very unpleasant for people unaccustomed
to that kind ot thine.
At present writing tlio wlnil is blowing
hither thither nt a rate which suggests the
idea, that some erratic cyclone in search of
job, has been let loose amongst us, and
for our amusement Is about to give us an
xhibllion of Its skill at tossing things
about.
Now what 1 should liko to know Is till
Is tho translating of Uiose westeru pe;uliar
itics bore amougst a peaceable an'' law
abiding people the result of our interstate
commerco law? If so I vote to have it at
once repealed.
And 1 suggest tuat congress appropriate
n reasonable sum out of that surplus with
which they havo been grappling so vigor
ously for tbo benefit of those who have
sulTered inconvenience or loss.
To simplify matters for them 1 agree
voluntarily without fee or reward to ac
cept any reasonable amount, anil faithfully
apply it to repairing such damages as
have sustained, and will give them 1
trouble with any surplus that may remal
n my bands. It may not be amiss here to
state that a surplus Is something with which
I never bad to contend. But from my
large and varied financial experience,
together with tho many hints 1 have lately
read of how to dlsposo of such matter,
feel very confident that I could very sue-
cessfully handle a email one. Of course I
do not wish CongrcBS to put up a job on
me and send me tho whole pile, just at this
season of the year when farm work l like
ly to be pressing. Perhaps tho above hint
is unnecessary, but 1 give It frco of charge,
