ABOUT YOUTHFUL MARRIAGES
A Boston Newspaper Offers Some
Suggestions on the Subject.
WONDERS OF A WOMAN'S HEART
The Beautiful Story of Fantlno
County Councillor Jauo Cobilcn
The Iloiioyiiiooners' Hotel
Mra. CmwforiPd Work.
Pon't Blnrrv Too-Vounji.
Thorn is a diversity ot opinion on the
subject- youthful man-iugcs. It mny
boa question whether young : people
know their minds Bulllciontly well be
fore the ago of twenty-two to hazard iv
final choice. Tusto changes very much
between the ages of eighteen and the
ago ubovo mentioned. Many who have
nuido their choice onrlior hnvo carried
it out from a sunso of honor and not
from love , because a wider raticro of
choice has shown thorn , too Into , alas !
their mistake. The burdens of lifo are
heavy enough to boar without adding
this , the sorest of all.
Where the husband and the wife
really love each ether they got along
well through the vicissitudes of lifo , because
cause one immeasurable source of hap-
plnoss nlways remains to thorn whatever
disaster betide , nnd that is their unfail
ing sympathy with each other. Noth
ing loss than this enables n young
couple to otiduro with equanimity all
the cares and anxieties and'disappoint
ments of married lifo.
Nothing is nioro common than to BOO
two young persons marry with the np-
proval of the families , and. all tno
friends on each Bide , "Whntafortunato
match for both of thoml" everyone ex
claiming. To outside appearance it IB.
A little time olapaos it may bo a few
yoaraorll may bo only one when , to
tlio surprise of their acquaintances. It
is announced that the marriage has
* turned out unhappily. The oxplana-
tian is fiimplo there was no love between -
twoon thorn , There was a degree of
friendship ; there was a mutual expec
tation of advantage from the connec
tion ; but love there was not. For the
ordinary transactions nnd relations of
lifo rcspnot nnd friendship are all that
are required. It is not BO in marriage.
Nothing there will supply the plnco of
lovo. The belief that there are substi
tutes for it is ono on which many n gay
nnd hopeful young couple have trusted
their happlncsa , only to tlud it a total
wreck.
Woddlnir Klnus.
' If marriage isn't ' a failure there isn't
a question as to the indifferent regard
in which the wedding ring is hold , cays
the Now York World. Even tlio jeweler -
olor has n Bomi-contomptuouB way of
prL'sonting the tray of plain pold bands
and n tanialininir proferunco for dismal
tunes , which ho hums or whistles &oftly ,
but none Urn loss significantly , as ho
makes a unto of the initials to bo in
scribed. Very young brides wear the
yellow band , but in swell circles young
married ladies have tlio bravado to lay
aside the. oinblem of undying love as
BOOH na the honeymoon is ovbr.
Among older wives the ring is dis
carded altogether , and if you inquire
about it the matron will calmly toll you
It'a Hiioli an unfashionable pece-of ( juw-
olr.v to bo obliged to wear and ns a re
sult the young lady daughters In the
family nro married with a seal ring.not
pno of which can bo procured for the
paltry $7 , the prlco of the yellow bund.
Kmoruldi } , rubies und turquoluo , sot in
small but brilliant diamonds , are popu
lar ns wedding jewels , nnd not a fovr
jridogrooms have wedded their ideal
with a marquise of diamonds. A bride
of a month ago waa married with a sor-
pontinp ring , composed of two snakes
exquisitely carved , each with a precious
jewel in its head. To show the low Jo-
ivoo of enthusiasm for the tiuio hon
ored symbol of love at the last coaching
club dinner party given in Brunswick ,
but throe ladies out of the forty , all at
tended by their husbands , wore the
plain gold baud. Thcro wore clusters
of diamonds , circlets of pearls and eoli-
tairo stones by the quart , but the single
trio displayed the simple yellow loop.
Grass widows find the band particu
larly obnoxious , and those gay and fes
tive wives who have a few moro links of
freedom than is wholesome never give
it position outside of the jewel casket.
At the resorts and in social gatherings ,
ono hears frequent outbursts , from the
young and innocent society men who
protest aguinst what they consider mis
placement of the only badge that dis
tinguishes a marrio'd woman from a
spinster.
A VVnmun'H llniirt.
It ia difficult for persons in differing
circumstances to estimate tlio cost of
personal sacrifices. Only a woman
whoso glory and crown of glory is her
line hair , can appreciate the heroism of
the Cioillian women who allowed thorn-
solves to bo shorn like Snmson for their
country's peed , says a writer in the
Philadelphia Press. History tolls us
that in the olden time the beautiful
city of Palorm Buffered from along and
painful siege from the Saracens.
Though greatly reduced by famine and
distress they still hold out undauntedly.
At longth.to add to their dismay , it was
found that the materials for making
bow-strincra , which constituted their
weapons of defense , wore exhausted.
They wore on the point of surrender
ing , finding 'themselves entirely unarmed -
armed , wiion u patriotic dame stopped
forth and proposed to the bravo-
honrtod women , that they should cut
olT their beautiful hair and twist
It into bow-strings , The proposition
was no sooner made than complied with.
The heroism of the woman * not only
provided arms of defense , but BO nni-
muted the cour.ago of the besieged by
their gallant 'sacrlllco that they re
newed their warfare with such vigor
that the assailants were bcnton down
nnd the city saved.
There is no sacrifice Impossible to
woman's level Wo till romumbor the
tender pathos with which Victor Hugo
told the Btory of Fantlno , who , in the
mighty strength of mother love , denied
herself everything to provide for her
child Cosotto , from whom uho was
Hoparated , food and clothing , fire hi
tvlntor. light at evening , even the Wrd
that cheered her with its song. At
length word camp that Cosotto was in
sore need of a llannol shirt. All day
Font I no crumpled the letter in her
hand nnd at nightfall went to a barbor'a
stand , had her magnificent hair cutolT ,
and sold it for 10 franca , and smiled ,
thinking , "My child is no longer cold ;
I have dressed her in my hair. "
La tor on the cruel custodian of
Cosotto wrote demanding 40 francs , de
claring the child was ill and in need of
remedies. Undismayed the poor
mother dragged herself to the dondiafa
chair und had her exquisite tooth drawn
and sold them , Baying , thankfully ,
"My child will not die , and I tun satis
fied1 nnd going to her carrot throw her
looking-glass from the window und wua
content.
Colnlun'u Daucntnr.
Mias Jane Cobdcn , the first woman
elected n county councilor in England ,
is barely thirty-ilvo yoard old , but her
hair is snowy white. The expression of
her ( ace ia rallnpd and gentle , nnd she
wears picturesque und becoming coa-
tumcs wnich complete a vovy attractive
personality. And yet with till her
womanliness no QJIO has done peripa
tetic agitation moro persistently than
she. She has lectured and spolcon till
over the country on all manners of top
ics. Her name IP , of course , a very val
uable picco of political stock in trade.
It can not bo said that she really speaks
well , and she dislikes it above all
tilings , and yet her name , her pleasant
voice , and her obvious sincerity and
gonulnonoss never fail to make an im
pression. She is certain to carry her
audience with hpr. Miss CobdoifllVos
alone in a cozy little house outatHamp-
slead. Two of nor married sistora are
well known in the artistic world , one as
the wife of Mr. Sanderson , barrister
and aitistic bookbinder , the other as
the wife of Mr. Sickort , oao of the clev
erest members of the "impressionist"
school. The farm house at Midhurst ,
Sussex , whore Cobden spent his declin
ing years , still remains in the'family ,
and his political daughter has always
made use of the connection to keep alive
a little spark of local liberalism in the
heart of one of England's most tory
counties.
VVhito IVnnirn in ill s lionet of Africa.
It la not a little surprising , says the
Now York Sun , that so many white
women nro nnw venturing into the
heart of Africa , half-way across the big
continent. The Sun recently reported
that several female missionaries had
loft England to settle among the dwarf
and cannibal tribes of the Balolo coun
try on the Congo tributaries , nearly a
thousand miles from the HOU. Three
other ladioa are now following Mr. Ar-
not and his wife to the Garonganzo
country , a 'littlo northwest of Lake
Bangweolo. They will have to bo oar-
riod in hummocks for hundreds of
miles before they roach their future
homo , which has thus far boon visited
only by Roichard , Ivona , Arnot and his
two assistants.
But while it is only recently that
white women have begun to go to central -
tral Africa with n view to living there ,
quito a number of ladies braved its
fevers ana jungles while explorers
were unfolding the mystorioa of the
Dark Continent. Lady Baker was with
her husband when ho discovered Al
bert Nyan/.a. Miss Tunic's mother
in her arms among the swamps of the
Bahr el Ghazel , and her poor Dutch
maid perished there also , oxolalming ,
almost with lidr last breath , "O , why
did I leave our own Holland ? " Mrs.
Pringlo and several other ludlos' ' have
traveled lu canoes for hundreds of miles
up the Zambesi und Shlro rivers to the
Aipino district of Lake Nyassa. Mrs.
Iloro , who lived for some years on an
island in Lake Tanganvilca , is the only
white woman who has yet BOOH that re
markable sheet of water. Mrs. Holup
has peon the thorniest sldo of African
travel , for she was with hoc1 husband
whou ho was robbed of all his bolqng-
ingH , und together they wandered for
weeks , almost dond from hunger nnd
fatigue , before they reached a place of
safety. Mrs. Livingstone dlod while
traveling with her husband on his second
end great iournoy. White wombn
have certainly hud their full share of
the hardships and sufferings ot pioneer
neer work in Africa.
Tlio lloiiuyinoonorii' Hotel.
1 am awaiting , says a writer in the
London Figaro , further particulars of
thut Honey moon ors1 hotel which , ac
cording 16 a circumstantial correspond-
out , is to bo built on the Routh Devon
shire coast for the special , nnd , if poail-
blo , solo use of nowly-marriod couples
ou their woddiug trips * That the sur
roundings of the establishment are to
bo niiulo us , idyllic and fairylike aa pos
sible need Scarcely bo said. Romantic
arbors iu shady cornoragushingstroam , >
lets , socluddd' sylvan nooks , are to bo
provided nd lib. , while with the aid of
science every night will bo a moonlight
one n d every day ono ol bright and
seeming warm sunshine. The proa-
poctus is oven said to hlnj , at the pres
ence of mechanical nightingales which ,
thanks to persistently winding up , will
warble on every suitable tree.
The decorations , artistic and other
wise , of the hotel are. of course , to bo
all in character , though 1 must admit
that I question whether the proposed
transformation of the ordinary weak-
kneed hotel waiters and the somewhat
too substantial chambermaids of the
provinces into attendant Gany modes and
Hobus. as artistic in their poses aa they
are clasic in their , attire , will really bean
an advisable step to tako. The laying
on of .flSolian harps and other mysteri
ous music in every apuartmont is an
other detail open to criticism. But
there is nothinir like actual oxnorionco
after all , and I shall bo curious to hear
moroabont the Honoymoonors' hotel
when it has boon opened for business a
few weeks.

Mrs. Crnwfoi el'H NowHpapnr "Work.
Firdt and foremost among serious
wornon journalists is the wall-known-
Mrs. Emily Crawford of Paris. Mra.
Crawford has not only enabled the Lon
don Daily Nowa to earn u reputation for
being bettor supplied with Parisian
news than any other English morning
paper , but nho further contributes a
column of lively gossip every week for
Mr. Labouchdro's society journal , Truth ,
besides writing a letter for the Sunday
radical paper , the Weekly Dispatcli.
Mra. Crawford lias an attractive per
sonality and is a universal favorite ,
says iv London lottur to the Chicago
Inter Ocean. Few women are so well
known in the Paris political world , and
she is a constant and welcome guest at
the English embassy. She is now no
loncror young , but her almost white hair
only adds a charm to her mobile face.
The lady tulles aa brilliantly us she
writes , with her novor-coasing flow of
apt anecdote and vivacious humor ; and
of her stories it can at least always bo
said that so non o voro , o ben trovuto.
Mrs , Crawford is probably moro uu fait
witli all the ins nnd outs of French po
litical lifo und French society ficandal
than any correspondent living , not even
excepting the Times representative ,
the great Blowitz himself. For years
she was the in timato friend of Gamuotta
Since his dentil she has boon on terms
of close friendship with M. Clemon-
ccau , and luttorlyi Uko all of her BOX ,
she has developed u distinct penchant
for General Boulangor himself. Her
memory is a perfect widow's cruse of
gossip regarding all the crowned and
uncrowned heads of Europe , most of
which llnds its way into the ready pages
of Truth.

YOUNG HAMILTON'S ESCAPADE
ILccno Comma Up Again John and
the Blellcnn Girl Mayor Gnuit
OfTcuds His Short Haired
llcnohincii.
Notns From Nuw York ,
nw YORK , Sopt. 9. [ Special to Tim
] Notwithstanding thao every
body has bcon out of town for the past
two months , Now York has had its fill
of social sensations , nnd these have
had to do with all sorts and conditions
of men and women. The Flack di
vorce suit hit so many prominent poli
ticians that it made n sweet morsel of
gossip for thrice 'nine days. But be
fore that the gossips had been on the
qui vivo ever tlio marriage m London
of Judge Andrews , of our city and the
superior court , to a noted soeioty lady
who had procured a divorce fro"m the
Delaware legislature , but this caused
only a nine-days' wonder , and divided
attention with tlio Plunkott ' 'Christian
science" matrimonial sensation and a
few lessor , but piquant casoa. Now ,
juat at the close of the season , comes
the scandal of Robert Ray Hamilton a
&caudal of society and the sluma
which oub-topa any which I can recall
in the last half century. Young Philip
Ray Hamilton , It scorns , is
A VKHY lll-ACIC SHEEP
and this is the inoro to bo regretted bo-
causu of his very creditable record in
politics as well as on account of his
fashionable social standing. It seems
incrndiblo that u man of his position
should knowingly have married a dis
reputable woman , and it is even
atrungor that ho prefers to identify
himself with her cause oven after her
true character anfl career have boon
published to the world and she has
added murder to her ether crimes.
Notwithstanding the neglect anil de
cay about General Grant's tomb , there
is no likelihood that his remains will bo
removed from their present resting
place , The Grant family will not allow
it. They like Now York. Besides it IB
queer to hoar Washington talk about
erecting ti fitting monument to Grunt.
It took that city half a century to com-
nloto ono to Washington , though every
oivili/.od state and kingdom contributed
memorial stones. It was that wild wag
John Phmnix , who once remarked that
there was a monument at the national
capital a monument intended to forever
porpotunto the memory of Washington ,
and as it would nrobably bo forever
in building , the object was certain to bo
accomplished.
There is a story down in Wall street
to the effect that John R. Keene is ope
rating very largely in the market , and
chiefly lu tlio interest of the Ilavomoy-
ors. and the pooplc identified with the
sugar trust. The story is that Keene
has boon engaged to engineer various
duals on the street affecting sugar trust
certificates. Kcono operates through
the ofllce of Samuel W. Buhcock & Co. ,
situated in the building at No. 1)0 ) Broad
street , and oscillates between the bro
ker's oflico nnd J. S. Moore's room ou
the third lloor , Kcono owes something
Hko $2,000,000 on the Btroot , and natur
ally whou rumors concerning IIIB mak
ing money nro circulated tils creditors
become immediately and very eagerly
interested.
Many would welcome u decision thut
would rescue to worthy public uses the
beautiful islands in the East river and
sound now occupied as penal colonies
for the refuse and criminal population
of the city. If Ward's and Randall's
islands could bo redeemed from their
present miauso ns an incident of tlio
World's fair , that fact of itself would bo
enough to cause Now Yorkers happy
memories of the ovont. But it is doubt
ful if the improvement is brought about
by this event , and at this time , though
it cannot bo much longer delayed.
Love has its troubles among all clans ,
and even the impassable Mongolian
finds that its course does not run
smoothly. The anti-Chinese law is
keeping fond hearts in China away
from fond hearts in Nov York , and
promises to make our Chinese colony a
permanent ono and to provide it
WITH AMERICAN WIVES.
That would bo turning the tables with
a vengeance , but it will happen. This
is the way of it : Five years ago a boy
fourteen was betrothed to a glrlfof thir

half proprietor of a laundry. In vain
the languishing Lo Fco has written him

too small to keep a wife in stylo. Finally
the bride got angry and wrote to her

but it has evoked n whirlwind.
Tammany got up on ' its hind

charges among other things that the
mayor has made all of his Important
appointments from rich men of Ills own
class. This happens to bo true , and it
was natural , also. But oh , the wrath
that llos in wait for him ! And ho has
no place of refuge to which to turn.
The county democracy are the silk

A well-known druggist makes the
statement , says the Philadelphia. Rec
ord , that flypaper is largely used in
"
England by" women for the purpose to
which Mrs. Maybrick devoted it. Soak
ing the paper In water will extract the
arsenic from the slieqt and transfer the
poison to the liquid. It is then applied
to the skin or drank in minute doses '
with the result which is BO apparent in
Mrs. Maybriok's appearance.
Like the opium habit , arsenic eating
grows upon the victim , nnd its work is
-I'ow ' but sure. Araoiiio is used for
it , i , luting purposes , too , by largo num-

mills and factories. They have not yet
learned the art of eating the drug , and
employ it in a crude fashion by dissolv
ing the substance in water nnd applying
it ID lotion-like form to the face and
hands. Its baneful effects are not so
quickly apparent as are these of ursouio
eating , but sooner or later tlio foolish
victims of tlio poiHorious drug contract
un appetite for it. and their death ia but
a mutter of months.
It is not p'oaslblo to estimate the num

the use of arbonic is responsible , owing1
to their Bocrooy in using the drug. But
