Cleveland ia in the governor's chamber at Albany attending te his duties, Blaine has gone to the deep forests of Malne to get rid of hearing about his land-grab practices when In congress, but instead the mosquitoes have got at him and between his ugly record and ’skee ter bites he is having a rough time of it. AA A issn Chairman T. P. Rynder, of Milesburg has issued a call for. the meeting of the state convention of Pennsylvania Green~ backers, at Bellefonte, on September 18, to nominate a Butler electoral ticket. Bellefonte is large enough for a Green- back state convention any time, but where the material is to be found to build np an electoral ticket of 30 is what puzzles us, Perhaps if some of the strong- minded women will dress in men’s cloth igg and agree to serve the thing may be done, A special dispatch (to the Press from Huntingdon, Pa., says : = The amount re- alized at the sherifl’s sale of the personal property of the Kemble Coal and Iron about $41,000, This is not 1 than one-f its estimated company is more wrth of The! pre weeds of the sale reduced 1 abilities so little that they still rive main abont $1,000 000 for which the cred tors must look to the real estate, . > - 4 with the minority where been a ichigan tl 1 the democr: ut informa nds’ estimate of the mag y fr ad om Maine, In a letter intend i 3 scheme to nt delegates to the Re capture mi bli publican . 3 sa] vonttnn a 1 National Convention, the Senator made these obje« tion ine acts as tl sever Mr. T lacialats OI 1EeIBIALIe ner i 1 from ail sect vember.

Most of this money was sent to Maine, the little kept back being reserved for clerk hire and inciden- tal of the The amount of money already sent to Maine expenses committee, is said to be very large, and no e e stima 8 and 1 many this amount is said to have been And yet money sunk, simply to give Blaine a big boom in his own state, the reports from ie places it at less than $100,000, and y largely exceeded. with all this there are anything but encouraging, and But just now the committee has no “soap” to send. Desperate efforts to raise funds from the usual quarters have been lately made but without eliciting the usual re sponse. The merchants and bankers and Wall street brokers, who gave so liberal- ly for Garfield, have most of them fallen into line behind the Independent Re- publicans. Those who are Blaine men give something, but not with their old- time liberality, and excuse themselves on the ground of losses by the deprecia~ tion of stocks. It is the failure of this source of supply that puts the Blaine managers on the verge of dispair and the committee which they manage on the brink of bankruptcy. - In order to increase the RerorTen during the campaign, we offer the fols lowing indacements: Any one sending us four numes, with 60 cents, for each, we will send the Rerorrer to March 4, 1885, on trial, aud a copy wrx to the gender for the same period, Ifthe send: er of the four names is one of our pres- ent subscribers, we will add the above povied to his eredit.

MARRIAGE IN CHINA, I had not been at the hotel in Hong. kong five minutes before my attention Rush- ing to the front baloony I was just in time to see quite a remarkable wedding procession. At first, from he noise and general style of the affair, I thought it was a funeral, but I soon discovered the difference. First came a domen musi. cians who were beating gongs and blow- ing fish horns, each apparently without any reference to the rest. Then followed a company of men and boys bearing flags and lanterns, after which came a series of gilded tables with elaborately carved and painted canopies over them, and all sorts of eatables upon them. The display of frnit was quite tempi. ing, and I longed for a slice of the roast pig and the roast sheep. But there were also native dishes, which, by experiment, I found to be far from appetizing. Thus far, everything was arranged just as a funeral procession would be, and was composed of the same features. But now there was a slight departure from the funeral order of things. There came a magnificent sedan chair, the windows of which were thoronghly curtained, but which I was told contained the happy bride. This gorgeous sedan chair was followed by others, also by gayly deco- rated jinnikishas, in which were seated the relatives of the contracting parties, More so-called musicians followed, and the procession wound up with a load of boxes, which, I inferred, contained the marriage offerings, and, perhaps, the troussean of the bride. mB A AB Ee, SO A.
