A Disgusting Spectacle.
Depravity is bad enough in a man,
but when it is displayed to a marked
degree in a woman the spectacle is
most sickening. There was an unknown
white won-an at the depot Monday
night who showed such a want of de-
in her speech a manner as to
render herself simply disgusting. She
wore a shabby black dress a
straw hat, had a grip and market
basket along with her, and said she hail
ed from Massachusetts. Things about
the depot and waiting room did not
seem entirely to her notion and she
indulged freely in vilest oaths in de-
everything in general
Southern customs in particular. Many
who heard her were charitable enough
to think she was full whiskey, but to
all appearances it was a case of human
depravity at its lowest ebb.

more excitement. Tho scene is the

sage grinder is got out, scrubbed up
and screwed down firmly to the big
deal table, where strong black arms
are severing the fat from the lean,
pink meat, it into long
strips, and its white
into smooth, equal squares, to
be rendered into lard. The long
stuffer, black and shining, is
set up on a stand of its own, and a
round faced maid and experienced
are appointed to

the delicate task of seasoning.
The big black pot is filled with
bubbling squares of white, and a
thick waisted, handkerchief turban-

a big strainer to drain off the lard
and preserve tho precious cracklings.

quite receded from view, men, who
are deceivers ever, got into a

rushes, to make their vows the less

down on this practice. Wedding
rings were made as often of silver
as of gold and of fantastic shapes,

small bits of cake, upon the heads
of the newly married pair, and the
guests picked up the pieces and ate
In the eighteenth century the
wedding cake came into general use.
It was then composed of solid blocks
laid together and iced over with
sugar. When it was served, it was
held over tho bride's head, and the
outer crust was broken. Then the
cakes inside fell on the floor and
