For good people of this strain a prolii
able word may bo said about marryin
for money.
WHO MAY TAKE MONEY INTO ACCOUNT
1 have often thought that the circun
stances under which a man or a woma
might justifiably marry for mouev coul
readily bo tabulated. If , for instanci
there should bo a rich roan who had r
moral or physical defect to make an all

would bo a proper inducement to nr
woman of the following list to whom t
might oiler his hand :
A woman older than himself and di
D'liidont.
A widow with children to care for.
A widow witli no one to care for her.
An invalid maid or matron.
An accomplished poor girl.
A beauty.
An equal in wealth and position.

tion , but insisting upon regard , respc
and eood character , a rich young worn :
might properly marry
A man of equal or larger fortune.
A poor man of talent.
A clover artistor mechanic , or far me
or preacher , or soldier.
Any man the weight of whoso intell

Matrimonial Decoy Dncki.
Some months ago , writes a Paris e
respondent , a couple of adventure ;
were arrested for having worked a n
riraonial agency , which was in reality
effective machinery for decoying men
the look-out for rich wives. The dut
after having been relieved of a rot
sum of money , wore married to a sh
heiress and then sent about their bi
new. rho principals of the agency w
a bogus Baroness de Mortior , alias
Uochollo , and her attendant cavalle
swindler named Lecourtols. These t
succeeded in quitting the country , i
the Paris Correctional Tribunal , wh
has just disposed of the matter , had
cordtngly to deal with the sham hen
and a Mine. Leprout , both of whom I

Singular Wedding Notices.
New York Telegram : A curious fe :
turo of the raarriago announcements '
thu last century was the details they en
braced respecting the dowry and pc
sonal charms of the bride. Our forefatt
crs do not appear to have been backwai
at making known the fortunes they hn
obtained with their wives. Matters th
wo should regard as belonging to on
selves , or at the most to our intima
friends , were given to the world wii
trumpet-like sound. Ono can hard
pick up a magazine or newspaper of ti
period without iinding wedding nolle
similar to the following , which is draw
from the Gentleman's Magazine of 178

In the same periodical of March , 17
we read :

Another announcement of tlio sat

says :

"Yesterday morning was married t
Uov. Mr. Wilson , vicar at Otloy , lo Mi
Nancy Furness , of the same place , a me
agreeable young lady , endowed with i
the qualiGcatlons necessary to make t

Respecting wedding dowries , it is ss
that about tlio year 1770 a tradesman w
residing in London who had disposed
eleven daughters in marriage , and as
fortune for each ho had given thi
.weight In halt-pence. It is suggested tl
they were rather bulky , as the lightest
them weighed 50 10s. 8d.
Toward the close of the century the f
nouuccmunts of marriages were son

from the newspapers shows. Ono dat

In the paper dated for January 2,17

On the 29th October , 1798. wo find

young , even at a tender age , when tl
are only two or three years old. If
young bride happens to die before 1
marriage , or bo required for the sulta
harem for it may bo promised that t
is a case that breaks nil engagemoi
and is esteemed as a great honor by p
ents the intended husband is not
rooted to weep over what ho loses , for
has never seen it. When the young {
reaches her twelfth or thirteenth year ,
i somewhat later , her fourteenth year , i
receives the nuptial blessing , and
husband cannot see the face of his v
, until after that ceremony. No worn
not even the wife , takes part in
solemnity or marriage , which is cfleo
i by proxy , delegated to nn uncle or to
. older brother , often with a full boa
, who plays the role of the bride. 1
parents of the couple sign the contr
before the Imaum of their quarter , in
presence of a few friends , who act
witnesses. The nuptials are then ci

and gravity that weuld bo as suitable

Jities having at least 200,000 inhabitan

ourths of the national banks locate
herein. The national banks of sue
itio3 are required to keep a reserve of'
or cent , but they are enabled to rccoiv
deposits from the banks of smallc

St. Louis made apulication some tim

ATTENTION DEALERS
And Listen to the Song of thi Chief.
Wo wish to call your attention to the Minnesota Chief Tlircslilu ? Machine
for the season of 18B7. Wo take pleasure iu introducing to our customers ,
the best Separator In the market , being perfect In every detail. Wo spare
neither pains nor expense to make Til K "CHIEF" TIIK loitditiff machine In
tlio market , and have added , therefore ,
To the sepcrntor alone , which makes it beyond doubt , the most perfect ma
chine offered to the trade for the year 18U7.
It threshes everything a farmer can raise wheat , oats , rye , barley , flax ,
timothy , millet , clover , and peas , requiring no change of parts , except con
caves and sieves. Why does it do all this ? Because it is neither a VIBRA
TOR nor an APRON machine , but surpasses either in all the essential re
quirements of a perfect thresher.
We call your attention with pride to the
"Chief's" Oyliiidar , Side-gear , Elevator ,
Straw Stacker , Shoe Separating Tablet
Hagcr Attachments , Wagon Loading Elevator , style of frame , finish of ma
chine and above nil to its simplicity of construction.
We also wish to call your attention to our
and also the "PITTS IMPROVED. Tlireo stvles of powers , all of them first
class. Some prefer one kind , some another. We also state without fear of
contradiction ; that we manufacture the belt STRAW BURNING ENGINES
now iu the market. Our Giant and Traction engines have no peers. One of
the chief merits of steam power is to have an engine wulch steams easily ,
with little orjno trouble. Our engines cannot be beaten in this respect.
