Koine licnRonnVliy JttinlinmlH Should NotHtny nt Home. Men about home , writes the author of "How to Bo Happy Though Married. " in the London Queen , all day are fidgety , grumpy und interfering altogether ob jectionable in short This is the case very often with authors , or parsons , or painters ; but it is particularly apt to bo so with the unemployed , such , for in- htunci ! , as olliccis and business men , who have retired or are out of harness for a short time. The spirit of mischief is never at a loss for a job for paterfamilias if it catches him idling and lounging about neither at work nor at play. It htirs up his bile and irritability , and in cites him to thu reform of domestic abuses. It kindles his sanitary ardor , and sends him poking and Miilling about inconveniently into all corners of the es tablishment ; or sets him about the cur tailment of hout-ckuoping expenses , or the amendment of various unmethodical household proceedings all of which , how ever right and proper , tend to disturb domestic pr.acu and quietude , and to make the women of the house devoutly pray for the time when business shall calf the disturber away immediately after breakfast , and keep him away till toward evening. We have known clever men who were always thinking of now theories and "fads" about thu manage ment of children and other parts of family government. Such men torment their wives and injure the health of their children when they allow these theories to interfere with common sense and practical experience. The following case will illustrate what is meant. A cer tain family had thcypungcst members ill with measles. The time was winturand , , amongst his other prescriptions for their benefit the doctor ordered that the room in which the patients wurushould be Kept free from drafts of cold air. Everything went on comfortably , and all were con valescent but the two youngest.one about three years of age and the other fifteen months. To them their father uanio one day in January ; the temperature was higher than usual , he wore a great coat , and had walked fast about a mile up hill nt noon under a vintcr sun. He was warm , and , vhcn he. entered the sick chamber ho found it stilling. Being a bustling sort of man , and very opinion ated , ho ordered the children and their nurses to leave the "stilling chamber , where none but salamanders could live and go into another room where the air was pure , and sweet , and cool. " Remonstrances were vain , and the poor patients wore packed off to au unaired bedroom. Within one hour the young est > child was affected with croup , and in a few more the second became equally ill. Both died within three days , victims to pedantry and obstinacy. But the pedantry and obstinacy , would probably nuver nave had such fatal results if the father had not been idlinir at homo. A man can never pull with his wife until ho learns not to interfere with what does not concern him. Ho who can trust his wife , should no more mcddlu with her home concerns than she should pester him with questions about his busi ness. There will bo no peace if ho poke over the weekly bills , insist upon know ing how much each thing is per pound , and what ho is going to have every day for dinner. It is , indeed , almost a sine qua non of domestic felicity that pater familias should bu absent from home at least six hours in the day. Jones asked his wife : "Why is a husband likodough ? " Hu expected she would give it up , and ho was going to tell her that it was because a woman needs him ; but she said it was bccunspjujwls hard to get off her hands. ' 'Of course , ltlv'u 'CVGry eU'lr ! good rule , this ono of non-intervention may-bo car ried too far , as it was by the studious man who said , when a servant told him that his house was on lire , "Go to your mistress ; you know 1 havn no charge of household matters.1' ' No doubt occasions will arise when a husband will bo only too glad to take counsel with his wife in business cares ; while she may have to re member all her life long , with gratitudu and lovu , some season of sickness or allliotlon when liu filled his own place and hers too , ashamed of no womanish task aiui neither irritated or humiliated by ever such trivial household cares.

Lovisvillo Commercial : The recent Japanese marriage in this city lias caused some discussion as to the marriage rites performed in thu nativo'land of tlie Jap. Mr. T. Shuuoka of the Japanese village at the exposition gives the following : The marriage is preceded by the cere mony of betrothalat which all tLe mem bers of the two families are present. It often happens that the parties concerned then lor the first time are informed of the intentions of their parents with re gard to them. From this time the couple are allowed to sec each other on every opportunity. Visits , invitations , pres ents , preparations for furnishing their future home , and the be trothed are soon satisfied with their approaching future. The wedding generally takes place when the bride groom is over 20 years old and the bride in her 17th year or over. The morning of the appointed day the groom dresses , and thu toilet articles of the bride are carried to the bridegroom's house and ar ranged in the room appointed for the ceremony. Among many decorations the small table supports figures representing long life , such as the stork and turtle , supposed to live longer than any other creatures. In the evening a splendid procession enters the hall , headed by the young wife , clothed and veiled in white silk , escorted bv two bridomaids and fol lowed by a crowd of relatives and neigh bors ; also friends in full costume , all glittering with brocaded and scarlet cm- broidery. The two bridemaids and two or three young girls who arc the friends of the bride volunteer for the service , wearing the same costume , per form the honors of the house , arrange the guests and flutter from one place to another to see that all are made com fortable. Among the objects displayed in the middle of the circle of guests there is n deep saucer of soft ware made for the occasion. It has a metal vase which is furnished with two spouts and elegantly adorned with artificial flowers. At a given signal ono of the bride maids fills the vase with "shake , " a queer liquid pou roil intothe saucer. The bridudnnks one-half of the liquid and the bridegroom drinks the other half. After this every body is invited to the dining-room , where the "best man" sings the happy song and serves out the great dinner to all. With the exception of certain Buddhist sects and Christians , a priest or clergyman nuver takes part in the cele bration. The nerson known as the best man acts as priest and performs the mar riage ceremony. The next day after the marriage follows a festival given by the police oflicer who has given permission lor the nuptials. He then places the newly-married couple on his list , Jloyul Ban Francisco Chronicle ; Persons who are interested in the royal family of Great Britain will regret to hear that the marriage of the Princess Beatrice does not promise to be as happy as might bo wished. While it is understood that she is likely to give proof this winter that she loves her lord , the I/ondon newspapers which make a specialty of reporting the feelings of the royal family and the no bility , state positively that she is in low spirits , and in such condition that gossips declare she is disappointed in her mar riage , Marriage is a lottery , in royal as in other circles. The fair Beatrice got for her lot thu handsomest man in Ku- rope. We know on this continent that the handsomest man in society is apt to prove a poor matrimonial bargain. Those of ns who have both daughters and ex perience arc content with the second or third liandsomo&t man , and those of us who have more than once gone through the null are content to dispense with good looks altogether if we can cret for our daughters a man who is honest and woll-behavcd and able to earn his living. Male beauty is even shallower than the skin-deep beauty of women.

She is the one re deeming spot in the dull German court ; a woman gifted with all good gifts , and so sweet that even those who cannot appre ciate her adore her in silence. Her sister Alice , tiie ill-fated wife of the Prince of Hesse , was so tender a daughter , so true a wife , so devoted a mother , that her me moirs are given bv American mothers to their daughters as the record of a life which good women should strive to emulate Of the wife of Prince Christian noth ing is known. Louise , Princess of Lome , did not convince the Canadians that she was as ioyal to her husband as the con jugal law required. She may bu a good wife , but European gossip describes her as too constantly separated from her hus band to fulfill strict matrimonial obliga tion. The law says that the wile shall cleave unto her husband. She cannot well cleave if he is at Edmonton while she remains at Ware. Thu queen saj's in her memoirs that tier marriage was a love match , dating from a boy and girl allection. As a rule the nursery is a bad cradle for conjugal love. Both men and women tire of nursery fare. Xow Princess Beatrice is said to have drawn a blank in the matrimonial lottery. If so , kindly people will bo sorry. She has been a gentle daughter , tenderly affec tionate to a morose old mother. She was fairly entitled to a good husband. A story is floating through the papers that the eldest son of the Prince of Wales , who , if he lives , will come to bo King of Great Britain and Ireland and Emperor of India , is about to marry an American girl. Wo do not believe it. The laws of monarchical eliquot to forbid any such alliance. The young prince will probably be restricted in his choice to those pauper German families whose stock in trade is various quarterings and their strict ad herence to the protestant religion. It would be a hopeful sign if the Prince of Wales dared to depart from precedent fo far as to permit his son to marry plain Miss Smith of Xew York or Miss Jones of Philadelphia. But thu American public would bo surprised to learn that modern ideas had made such progress that such a marriage was possible. Theatrical Accidents. G. C. Miln in the Chicago News : Not long ago I took a turn one afternoon at Laertes , and a member of the company to relieve me played Hamlet. Everything went won uniii the closing scene , and oven that was prett y nearly through , when a very funny thing happened. The queen had died quite decently , witli the ante mortem aflirmation on her lips that it was "The drink , the rtrink , my dear Hamlet - lot ; 1 am poisoned. " The king hiul been properly termi nated ; Laertes , undone by his "own treachery , " was serenely sleeping the final sleep , when Horatio , declaring him self "more an antique Roman than a Dane , " seized the poisoned goblet to end his noble life. But the impetuous prince seized it , and , with tremendous force , threw it to the other side of the stage , where it landed on the pit of Laertes's stomach ! "Holy Moses1' ! ex claimed that noble corpse , and for a minute and a half or so writhed and groaned as to create the belief that it was simply a case of suspended anima tion. It is needless to say that the mel ancholy prince himself died to the chorus of uproarious laughter. Lapses of language are often very funny. ' Richelieu" was being played one even ing , and Dr. Mouprat. instead of speak ing the lines furnished by Lord Lytton. had undertaken to substitute an improved edition , He should say : " \ our fate has been ono triumph , " etc. But he twisted it unaccountably into ; "Your faith has been one blossom b-l-o-s-s-o-m-m.

A MILLIE LIFE ROMANCE , The Strange Family History of Eos. Oourt- land Sypimes. Change of Nameipnd Chant o of Fortune Clearing Up a .Mys tery of two States. The appointment of Hon. Courtland Symmes to be judge'dl ? the Brunswick judicial court , says the special correspondent pendent of the St. LouijsGlobe Democrat , writing from Brunswibk , Georgia , is not only remarkable iu that the incumbent is the youngest judgc'ever appointed in tnc state , but that ho > is the hero of a life of romance ofj' thrilling detail. The story was developed in a suit re cently entered in Cincinnati , wherein Mr. Syrnmes set himself up as the long- lost heir of the Moore family. Nearly a century ago there lived In Cincinnati John Cle.ves SyiVimes , a man who had distinguished himself in the war of the revolution , and who , subsequently , liad been lieutenant governor of New Jersey , judge of the court of common pleas , and repeatedly a member of congress. His largo landed interests led him into the Ohio valley ) where ho soon be came recognized asonu of the most prom inent pioneers of the day. Amongtlie gentleman with whom he be came familiar was Mr. Hugh Moore , a merchant , who , like wise , had amassed wealth and influence. Colonel Symms had loft behind him in New Jersey a charming niece , the daughter ot his brother Timothy , who also had held high honors of state. It was the dream of Colonel Symmes' life to bring about a "union between his friend Moore and this niece. A meeting was arranged , when Mr. Moore found himself in the prcsoncd of a lady , young , beautiful and accomplished , ono who e mind had been cultivated by attendance in the best schools of Europe. The re sult , as may bo imagined , was an encage- ment , followed by a speedy marriage. To mark his approyal of his niece's choice , Colonel Symmes conveyed to her large tracts of land , besides other pres ents of a substantial character. J'LANS THAT MIsCAItltlEI > . Mr. and Mrs. Moore : it once became the centers of an exclusive coterie of friends. Their illustrious revolutionary connections , their wealth , their cultiva tion , all united to place them at the head of the embryo society ot the future queen city of the west. The early pioneers were men who had distinguished themselves in the service of their country , but who , finding the avenues of advancement in the east , crowded , sought the opportuni ties of the west. Having so much in common in the way of tradition and fel low feeling , their association was ot the closest character. It was natural then that the birth of an heir to Mr. and Mrs. Moore should have been au occasion of real congratulation , and that in seeking a name lor it , not only should the father bo remembered , but a compliment should be bestowed upon a trusted friend ot the family Judge Courtland Montgomery. The child , then , WHS uuuicd Hugh Mont gomery Moore , For twenty-one years following but little happened to disturb the happiness of the friends thus1 mtroduccd to thu public. Business prospered with them , in conseviienco of which they contin ually grow richer. Children grew in beauty , and engaged the fondest ontici- ii tionsof their pardtfu. Youmr Hugh Montgomery Moore ut 21 was as fine a specimen of manhood as ever lived. His parents had fashion * ! for him a marriage which should add'- both fortune and prestige to the family , and never dreamed that the ycnrig man could think otherwise than they ; diu themselves. It was a terrible interview , then , in which Hugh informed hist father ( hat ho had alro.-uly set his hoarf upon ono who , while not no wealthy or exclusive , WHS yet one of the noblnst types of American womanhood MiM Margaret Crane , of Hamilton , Ohio. In spite of all that father or mother could do young Mooru married thn girl of his choice , This led to still other misunderstandings , which convinced the son that he cnuldnot liopo for reconciliation with his father. Ho had a final interview with his father , when , with his wife , he disappeared , and for years t liu name of Hugh Montgomerv Moore was never mentioned , and hfs existence was wrapped up in mystery. THE MVSTEllV DKIU'UXS. Mr. George W. Crane had left Hamil ton , O. , to seek his fortune in the south , and settling in Augusta , Ga. , entered upon a career of promise. Great was his surprise , then , when he discovered that his sister and her husband had reached Augusta , and greater still when he was informed that Mr. Moore had resolved to abandon his family name and to assume that of Courtland Symmes tlie first in honor of the friend for whom he was christened and the second in honor of his mother's family. This , then , was the Courtland Symmes who. in 1842 , set np as a tutor in Geor gia , and whose elegant manners won all hearts. His wife did not take kindly to the malarial climate , and in a year death claimed lier as its own. With thu death of thu fair girl , for whose Jove Air. Symmes had dared the parental frown , the last tie was broken , and there was no mark by which Symmes of Georgia , could be identified as Moore , of Ohio , In time grief gave way to a ne\\ love , when Mr. Symmes married Miss Clarentinc H. Harris , thu daughter of the noted Judge Harris , a family of widu social and political influences. Thu lady was informed by her husband of the storv ot his life. In the summer of 18 , " > 4 an expected fam ily event gavu joy to tiie couplu and re sulted in the opening of correspondence with friends in Ohio , preparatory to a long wished for reconciliation with the family. Mr. Symmes felt thai , upon the birth of his child such a reconciliation would bo certain. While anticipating this joyous reunion Mr. Symmes fella victim to yellow fever. Three months later a posthumous t-on was born at the cost of the young mother's life. With her dying breath Mrs. Symmes directed that tlie correspondence had by her late husband with his friends in Oiiio should be buried with her , and that thu child , bearing thu name by which sliu had mar ried her husband , should bu raised us n member of her father's family. * ' ' . J5PISO KOIl I'llOl'KHTV. Judge Harris , on behalf of his grand child , at once l > egan suit in thu Ohio courts to establish its claim to a share in thu large estates which had boon left be hind by thu old Cincinnati merchant. Hugh Mooru. This property had passed through probate , and was , much of it , In the hands of third panics. The pre liminary suits were gained , nnd the identity of the child established , when , for some cause , the whole matter was dropped. Thus it continued from 18-55 until March of this year. It seems that the child grew up as a member of Judge Harris' family , at Woodhill , Hichmond county. No refer ence was made to thu family tradition , because it was felt to bu unpiofltablc.und the Harrises were too proud a peoplu to press themselves upon others. It was not until young Courtland Symmes had reached man's estate that the matter was recalled in such a way as to claim Ins attention. He was paying liU addresses to a lovely girl , whose hand he sought in marriage. Imitating the example of his father , lie made her the confidante of his story before becoming his wifo. It was at the solicitation of Mrs. Symmes that the recent suit for the recovery of the Ohio cutatc was begun. She urged it not only as a matter of justice , but to set right the family history , so that in thu future no misconstruction might ariso. This , in brief , is the romantic family story of Georgia's newest Judge , Hon. Courtland Symmes. It is a story not only romantic , but highly honorable , in that the whole lifTair shows devotion to thu most clnvalrlot'inotionsof the human heart. This life history might well end hern worelt ; iot that moru H duo to the Mi'niy jndepc-ndonco of the mnv judge who lias worked ids way uu from the bottom , Though born into one of the mostaristo- cratic families of Georgia , he was des tined to meet with difficulties before which he might well have quailed. He was but six .years of age when the war broke out. In the general ruin which fol lowed , the Harrises. suffered equally with their neighbors , and it rc'quirod tljo labor of their own Hands to build them selves up again. Young Symmes had to trudge four miles to such schools as ex isted. He had to study under many disadvantages ; but he never lost courage nor abated his determi nation to work his way up. He. studied law under his uncle , Judgo. Harris , of Ware county , and when admitted to the bar ho hung out his shingle in Josup , Wayne county , where he landed with just sixty-live cents in his pocKet. He walked ten miles to attend the justice court. Such determination soon bronchi its own reward. Practice increased so that he found it necessary to secure a wider fieM. and hence his removal to this city in 1877. Since that time his life has been honorable and successful , well qualifying him for the high position to which Gov , McDanial has appointed him. THE BONANZA FAMILY.

Mr. Mackay is a very rich man , his wealth Is so disposed that to sustain u prolongation of these ama/.ing outlays ho would bo forced to saorificu important business interests. This he refeses to do.

New York Journal : One- morning a little ve . * ol from Manila mnilo thoVijhui coast , and the natives welcomed the sicht as if a visit of their gods Hundreds of these cannibals MVJUU out lo meet Iho boat , armed with gifts of every kind , and by every means in their power implored the three men who were on board to land at onco. It was not without grave mis givings that Antlkoi , the Manila captain , at last consented to betaken to the shore , but air three men had stout hearts and on shore they went , ? ay a San 1-Vancisco paper. There they received a frantic greeting from the native ? , who singled out Antikol , and from some legendary reason believed he was the father of their little gods , known as Luve-ul-wai , or children of Iho water. " . Antikoi saw his opportunity and with his two companions sot himself to assist the chiefs and rid them of their convict oppressors. Slowly but surely thusu white wretches met their doom. Savage was killed in 1S13 , and tlie whole gang of twenty-seven perished.dnriug the ten or twelve years followintr , 1'addy O'Connor being spared only on proof of his abject weakness and cowardice and therefore his inability to do harm. So quietly did Antikoi lift himself into popularity that to gain possession of the aiichoi of the vessel in which he arrived wars wuro con tinually occuring , and hetacomhs of lives were lost to gain and regain possession of the treasure , until the .Manila muster tad made thi'in understand that it was iis. and he alone would keep it. lie adopted the native costume ; wear- ng a long snlu of many folds of chief's ' tappa , generally of n light brown color , with black spots and reaching nearly to the feet. Shoes lie had none , but bound his feet with palm leaf tied around with roods. Thus equipped and with a variety of weapon * , he would lead many u fray , striking terror into the rebel forces and often deciding a conflict with his pres ence before hardly a blow was struuk. When , in 182 ! > . Na Ulivou 1-ad died , Antikoi still helped along the fortunes of his successor , Tanoa ; but Tanua was old and feeble and the Manila chieftain agreed upon the exile of the ancient ruler , placing the son , Cacombau or Tho- Hambau , in his stead. With great bar baric pomp and show did AntiKoi con duct the installation of the new chieftain , and he induced him to take the title of Tul Viti , or King of Viti. Now grati tude succumbed before a deepened rev- rencc , and instead of assistant , Antikoi became master of Cacombau and all his realms. Antikoi's aim was peace , but , alas ! such aims were visionary in so bloodthirsty a country. It was no easy life for any man. Itewa , the principal village ) , was only a mass of rudely erected thatched huts , scarcely ever occupied on account of the endless wars ; the only animals in digenous to the soil were rats and Hying foxes , human flesh being the general ar ticle of food , and the natives wore tcO ; laxv to till tiio soil , depending on their gods for all their products. Very soon AntiKoi began to learn the wrongs of the wholesale massacres in which the king's forces indulged , and the arris-al of more missionaries and _ t number of white settlers led him to dis courage these horrible events by every means iu his power. lhn missionaries were continually being menaced , and know that they carried their lives in their hands , still they stuck to their noble work. One night when Antikoi was away , no one knew where , the natives surrounded the missionary hut. These zealous mi'ii closed the frail doors of their reed house and hung up curtains of na tive cloth to hide themselves from the savage eyes that peered through the open walls , and all that night they knelt in prayer , expecting the blood-thirsty wretches to rush in and massacre them selves and their families at any moment. Seemingly , superstition and AntikoiM friendship for the missionaries awed the savages from commencing the attack , and through the night there was an awful Millni'HS , broken near dawn by a wild , ringing yoll. The Christian teach ers thought it was a death shout , but it was not. Antikoi had arrived , and such was his power thai he led the white families out from the hut and made the savages , nearly three hundred in num ber , prostrate themselves before the missionaries and then march silently away. But with all his wonderful powers An tikoi could not live forever , and old ago was beginning to show severe signs in the Manila man's system , and in thu year 1860 sickness began to attack him. Ho' was getting very old and very weak und the king could not t-ce it. The Manila , man's wise head and strong arms were often wanting at the king's side , and in 1803 , when the rebel chief Tui Wainoono declared war against Kin { ( Caeoinbnu , his Manila master was lying sick unto death and the weak kinir trembled for his power. But to the king's surprise ho vanquished his enemy near the Boiling Springs and then , finding he could do without his master , he fargot all grati- tudn and determined to be rid of .Manila man. Far away from the king's village was an old reed shed , all openings and crevices , with no sustaining poles or no protecting thatch. Into this poor Anti- Koi was thrown mill left to die. But Antikoi was rescued from this mis erable plight by a white settler named William Berwick , who acted toward him the part of the good Samaritan , and , taking him to his house at Drailm , ho nursed him , pulled him through his ill ness , uinl continued to give him : i homo till the day of his death.
