MATRIMoNY AMONG THE JEws.-In
consequence Of the obstacles which the
Bavarian government have thrown in
TO the way of marriage among the
Jews, by requiring the possession Of a
sum ofmoney by the contracting par
ties, and large fee for license, not
less than nine couple OF that persuasion
the men all mechanics, have arrived
here to be married under our laws, and
to reside here in future. The conf
dence and constancy manifested by the
women, in venturing across the ocean,
to new world with their lovers, where
Hymen's torch burns bright and free,
is worthy the best days Of olden time,
when seven years was deemed light
servitude for good wife. One. of the
females is capital engraver oil visit
ing cards.
Talking ofthese marriages reminds
us of suing for breach Of promise, so
familarly known in our country and
in Europe.
Such an event has never been heard
ofamong the chosen people, Betroth-
ing is deemed as sacred as marriages,
and man may as well run off with
the wife of another, as to seek to win
the affections of maid betrothed.-
Hence the confidence between the af-
fianced, who traverse oceans together
with mutual respect and confidence,
until time and circumstances make it
convenient to marry. The Mosaic
law is known TO have been very loose
and very unsafe for women, arising
from the custom of the Orientals, and
never could be adopted in ertenSo in
other countries, but there is one branch
Of the law which is admirable, and is
also but little known. He who sedu-
ces Il woman and afterwards marrles
her, can never be divorced from her;
likewise, the man who falsely accuses
his wife of infdelity, can never claim
the benefit of a divorce. These are
points indicative of the philosophy and
wisdom of the great legislator, and his
entire love of justice.-N. Y. Star

SINGULAR DEATn.--At Coventry,
eng a man lately died suddenly. a
post norton examination was made of
the body. The surgeons on opening it
found stocking needle three inches
and half in length run through the
heart. The only appearance by which
it could be supposed that the needle
was introduced between the ribs, was
u healing wound, something like, upon
the exterior, the appearance ola bite
by a flea. The jury returned ver-
dict of "died from the effects of nee
die introduced into the heart, but how,
and by what means, so introduced, they
have no evidence"

INDIAN NEWS.

\N'Nesf AAAAs VAe
We have understood that one thou
sand Creek Indians have lately consen-
ted to enter the service of tho United
States for twelve months, il required
so long, and proceed forthwith to Flo
rida.
by the assistance of these Indians il
is thought the Seminoles will be redu.
ced to submission much earlier than
they otherwise would be. Captain j.
+. Lane, at present aid to Gen. Jessup
is to accompany the Greeks to Florida,
as their commander, and will be pro.
NOTED to the office of Colonel.
Notwithstanding the assistance which
we admit the country may derive from
the employment OF such a focre, upon
such an expedition, and in pursuit of
such foe, still there is something oh.
jectionable in such an enlistment. We
have three objections to it, to wit first
it implies that the country is incapable
of subduing the contemplate tribe IN
Florida by the force of its own citi.
zens alone, and is therefore compelled
to coll for the help of the savages -
secondly, it is not good policy to let
the Indians know that they are consid.
cred better soldiers than the whites in
any sort of expedition whatever; third
ly, it is not morally right that this
great country should set one Indian
tribe against another in interminable
hostility.
We ought to fight our own battles,
without calling for help from the sava-
ges.
Both Creeks and Seminoles, ufier
the conquest Of the latter, are to be re.
moved to their western destination, and
there the districts allotted for the fu.
ture habitation OF each tribe lie in such
proximity that perpetual wars between
them may well be anticipated. Car
ny out this policy, and there will be no
end 10 savage murder and bloodshed
among themselves.
We hear the contractors for emigra.
ting the Creeks will carry them all off
Immediately, except the thousand who
have volunteered for the Florida ser.
vice, and their families. These fami-
lies are to be left in the Creek nation,
and fed by the Government, and taken
care of, until the return of the warriors
from Florida, at which all hands are to
emigrate to the west.
PENSACOLA, Aug. ~.
We learn, through private letters
from Tallahassee, that the campaign a
gainst the Seminoles will not open so
soon as was expected. Some obstacle,
we know not of what nature, stands in
the way ofthe progress Of the Tennes'
see mounted men towards Florida
Fifteen hundred Of them known to
have been destined for service against
the Semnoles, are now at Roanoke on
the Chattahoochee. Gov. Call has
been endeavoring to urge them forward
but in vain. Whether they are kept
there by order Of Gen. Jesup, by then
own fears of the climate of Florida, or
by some other cause, we have no means
Of knowing.

MExIco.-How deeply to be regret
ted is the internal situation ofthis most
beautiful part OF the habitable globe
Constantly torn and distracted by in
testine connections and civil wars, her
inhabitants may be looked upon as re-
Preceding, instead Of being on the
march towards the full fruiton of civil
lization, This country, on the arri.
val Of the Spaniards, in 1919, compo-
sed powerful and civilized empire
but the origin Of the inhabitants still
remains in great obscurity. The con-
quest Of Mexico by Fernando Cortez,
is one of the most interesting portions
of the history of this continent. Cor
tez discovered the country in 1919,
when he landed on the eastern coast,
and founded the city of Vera Cruz, at
ter which he penetrated into the inte-
rior, and finally in 1921, after the death
Of Monteznma, the Spaniards took tho
city of Mexico, and the whole empire
fell into their hands. Cortez continu-
ed to govern the country as captain ge-
neral under the King of Spain, until
1886 when Spanish Viceroy was APP
pointed in his place.
For nearly three centuries that this
earthly paradise was held by the Span
iards, scenes of oppressive rapine and
bloodshed, which beggar description
were constantly enacted there was
neither a government of law or justice;
the Creolcs and patriots felt the mdlg-
nations IL crueltes of the royalists bea.
ring 50 strong upon them that in 1910
an instruction broke out against the
government, and Mexico, after many
bloody battles and engagements was
declared, independent by congress in
1918. From this declaration Of inde-
pcndence until 1924, the whole coun-
try was but one continued scene of ci-
vii commotlon. The long civil war
in Mexico, has exhausted the resources
of the government. A republican GO
vernment was adopted in 1924, and in
1928 the first congress convened, and
the government was for short time
administered on republican principles I;
at least when the priests continued to
mind the business Of their office but
when they stepped beyond their clois-
ters to mingle in the political affairs of
government, then began disturbance
and minor revolutions, which increas-
ed and spread wider from time to time,
the former influence that the priests had
enjoyed during ihe twelve years of CT
vii war prior to the first session of con-
gress, began TO spread and revive thro'
a majority ofthe states, and when they
conceived themselves strong enough,
the constitution of 1924 was declared
not adapted to either the wishes or the
wants ofthe Mexican people. The mu-
nicipality of Taluca being more imme-
diately under the power Of the priests,
was first to make this declaration--a
change in the constitution was propo-
sed and carried TO this change many
of the states did not agree-Texas a..
mong the number. The consequence
was, that they called down upon their
heads the vengeance of the priests in
the shape Of force TO drive them into
subsection. Texas was the last prov
ince against which this force was di'
rected-the result is in the womb Of
time.-N. q. Bee.
