During the late rata storm ia North-wet-tern
Pennsylvania, Mr. George
Randall, whose house was upon the

of all Li3 earthly possessions, which.
though not large, yet like the "wid

awakened by the rushinj of the wat

pair of overit'.ls lying near, he com
menced picking up tLitig3 from the

Supposing the worst was past be

crushed like a p3per bouse and the
inmates hurled into 1 bs seething fi-jud.
The current caused by the waters
rushing through the aqueduct, which
whs now nearly or quite full, drew
in tae bhsttereu iragments ot trie
house. The struggling family were
swept throcgh the nq-iednc a ciis-

and the rescue about half-pas t fivo in

discovered that the houe was gone
and search was immediately institu

discovered and no time was lost in

The speaker who introduced the

that caste imposed undue restrictions
oa intermarriage aud social inter
course bsteen different castes; that
it restricted ctrtain S'ctions of socie
tv to certain occupations; that it hin
dered the adaptation of people to al
tered social conditions; but contended
that these drawbacks were fully com
pensated for by many substantial ad
vamaa;ep. Anions these he enumerated the
feeling cf seif respect and ambition
induced bv descent from a noble an
cestry and inclusiou in a venerated ,
caste: the moral restraint cau.-eu oy
fear of transgressing aste rules aud
disgracing caste character; greater
proficiency and skill in a handicraft
resulting from the hereditary practice
of particular iadas'ries; the absence
of ail sense of deg-adaiion and huni-
iiiatiori associated with the pursuit cf
manual la'o.T; the cheerfulness aud

performed their allotted occupations;

was now producing
It had its uses when first establish

At oue time it did exercise a sort of
social check upoa native society, but
nuw it was merely a means of extor
tion. A man inisrht violate auy rule of
society, but ail it was necessary to
do to be received back into his caste
was to speud a few rupees. A mau
might c .mnoit any offeuce aTd uctual

be received back again into bis caste,

Although he was a Koolia Brab

irrespective of caste limits.
In ail sincerity, ha ft-lt the useless
ncss of preserving a fabric already
tottering. A no; her speaker in the
course of a very able speech, said,
"Next, let us see if as a matter cf

that caste in cur country exercises
those salutary iafhiccces iu the re
pression of vies and waatouuess
which are exercised in ether countries
by public opiuion, and hence that so
long as no strong public opinion is

that we should obey a canon of caste.

There is considerable variation m
the different European States ia the
see at which a legal marriage ran be
contracted. In Austria the age of
discretion for both sexes is fourteen
rears. In Hungary each religious
sect makes its own regulations mar
riages being regarded as entirely
ecclesiastical affairs. Russians can
contract marriages at the ago tf eigh
teen years in cases of males, and at
sixteen vears in that of females. The
Italiau law fixes the age at eighteen
and fifteen years respectively, in Tur
key there is no general law. The
F rencti had Belgian codes allow mar
riages tf youag men at eigbteea and
girfa at fifen years; but powers of
di-pens-ilion ia special cases are re
served. In Greece, Spain, and Port
ugal, parlies cf fourteen and twelve
years can contract a binding mar
riage : but in toe latter country the
cjnseut of the parents is necessary.
According to the amended paragraph
cf the new German civil marriage
bill, the state of wedlock cannot be
entered upon under t weuty aod six
leeu years respectively, though the
existing laws of Prussia aud Saxony
permitted marriages at earlier periods.
Tocre is much dissimilarity ia the
Swiss laws, every canton haviDg a
local regulation of its owa. Iu some
of them the conneat of the parents is
necessary up to the agn of twenty
five year. The influence of climate
upon the temperameut and constitu
tion is allowed in the southern nations
where maturity is reached at a much
earlier period than among the north
ern uetious.

Daalk Karalaas.
A Virginia City, Nevada reporter
was talking with an old miner a few
day 8 ago who implicitly btbeves that
no death evir occurred ia the mines
without a warning of some kind.
"You see," be said, "death never
took place in the mines without a
warcing. You reporters write up ac
cidents and tell how something fell
quick and killed somebody. Now,
mis ain't so. There's always some
warning. When I see my lantern
begin to burn low down and bine, I
know there is danger ahead. If i;
keeps on for a few daya and then be
gins to waver and flicker, I'll watch
it close to see where it points. Yon
may set me down for a fool, but what
I'm telling you is the gospel truth.
When the flame leans over (as if it
was being worked by a blow-pipe),
and points to a mao, death has mark
ed Lira.
' Some years ago when Bill Hen
dricks ws killed in the Savage, the
flame cf my candle pointed right at
him for over an hoar, and when be
moved the flame would move just aa
if h was load stone and the flame a
mariner's needle. 1 knew he was
gone and told bim to be careful about
the blast. Well, he got out with that
all right and got on the cage. Aa he
went op, tbe candle kept actin?
strangely, and at times the flame
would stretch out long and thin to
wards Bill. At length it gave a
sudden flicker and Bill reeled to one
side and was caught in the timbers.
I heard bis dreadful cry as be disap
peared down the shaft, aad whea he
was bounding from side to side,
dashing out his brains and scattering
his flesh down to the bottom, my
light went out.
"I never lit that candie again. It
hangs up in my cabin and always
will. There's more ia a candle flame
than people thinks. I'd rather see a
cocked revolver pointed at me than a
candle flame; a revolver someuuies
misses, but a candle flame is sure to
kiil when it darts toward a man.
"I must start for my shaft now.
Don't cive my came t anybody.
There is some who would laugh at
me."
The man here picked up his blank
et and walked away. There are
plenty cf miners on the Comstock
who have such superstitions. Some
nail up a hor.-e shoe over the en
trance of a drift, "far luck." O.hera
believe that gu-.d and bad luck comes
in streak--, jus es quartz and por
phary. For three years put there
have been no accidents ia the North
Consulida.ed Virginia uj.il a few
days ago w bea Cbairpioa had his
thigh crut-htd Tbe miner says that
a "bad streak" bad been struck and
more aecideats migbt he expected
Yeste-day two more men were injur
ed by failing thirty feet into the
dump. This was caused by the
breaking of a two-inch ' plank that
seemed able to bear a dozen men.
.o Eneearacemvnt.
A brisk fight between two boys
was interrupted by a citizao, who,
after releasog one of them, made the
other s't down on a stlt barrel and be
talked to.
"Now, then,' he began, "it is a
terrible tbiug f.r a b y like you to be
conducting iu this manner."
"I'd a licked him if you had n't
come up!' wailed the b-oy, as he
curefully wiped bis scratched nose.
"Suppose you had, do you want to
be considered a dog H Why don't
you try and be a good boy, aud get
uloog pvacbfull with everybody?
Suppose you had rollod effthe wharf
and been drowned?"
"S'pose'n I hadn't, too! It's the
good boys who get drowned !
"What!"
"It's so, and I kin prove it! I'll
bet a dollar agin a cent that
mure Sunday school boys bave
been drowned tbis veer than bad
un's
The mau reflected, aud did not dis
pute the assertion.
"And more run over by the cars,"
continued tbe bov.
No answer again.
"And more of 'em get sick aad die,
and I'll bat I've got more money and
have more fua and bave more pea
nuts than aay good boy in Philly!"
"But tbe good are rewarded," qui-
etiy observed the man.
' So are the bid," replied the by.
"I'll bet I m iko Gftv ceats before
dark! '
"But the gtod are resjected !"
"So am I. I kin go to Laughiin
Si McMancs and borrow three dol
lars w ithout any security, I'll bet ten
to five you can't ! Come, now, put
up the lucre."
"My boy," sidly tbserved the man,
"You must think of tbe future. Don't
you want to be looked up to and re
spected when vou are a man ?"
"That's too far ahead," was the
lonesome reply "If enjbody thinks
