UHLAwruL MARRIAsE.-The town has been
full Of rumors for day or two past. respecting
the solemuZaiion oi a marriage between parties
disabled by the laws of God and man from en-
tering into the estate. We procure our infor-
nation from the best sources, and consequent
ly it can be relied on a. correct.
On Monday morning last, about eleven o.
clock, four persons, two males aud two females,
called at the Office of Alderman Campbell,
northwest corner Of Eighth aud Fitzwa,er
streets. and desired that two Of them should he
married. Those ~bo stepped forward for the
pnrpose, were Mr.. James Eneu, said TO be
aged eighty -four years, and Miss Emma 1aines,
said to be aged about twenty. Alderman
Campbell made all the legal inquiries pariicu
larly, and the more so, because Of the disparity
IN the ages of the parties. Besides the two.
were present \ eeutleman whom Alderman
Campbell knew to be the next door neighbor
Of Mr.. Eneu, and lady Who represented her
self as the sister Of the bride. To all his inter
Togatories, they with one accord replied that
there was no just impediment. Thus assured.
the Alderman could not but proceed, and The
ceremony Was performed, and the parties Ieit
the office. About nigh,fai, a person called on
Alderman Campbell. and informed him that be
had married grandfather to his granddaug ghier
and, on inquiry. this was proved 10 be the fact.
lie ielt perfectly Tree from blame because ne
had done all that the law required at his hands,
and placed every dependence on the respscia-
slity Of those concerned. The marriage, we
are assured, has never been consummaied.-
The mother Of the bride, and herself, live in
the house Of Mr.. Eneu. On Tuesday. Mr.. +.
called on the Alderman, and wished him to
cancel the certificate. which was out Of his
power. but he inquired Of him why he had not
informed him OF The disability. Mr.. Eneu re
piled that he was not aware at the time, OF
what he nov knew, ,hs, both the laws OF the
land and OF the church to which he was at
tsehed, forbade contract of marriage between
all so allied. 1t is null apd VOID TO all in,enis
snd purposes.
The above are the facts OF the case rs they
really are though there are many things stated
by the tongue OF rutnos which have no founda-
iion.- Philadelphia Ledger.

GENERAL HARRISON.

In the discharge OF the extensive trusts re-
posed in hm-the disbursement Of the great
amount Of funds placed under his control, and
The extraordinary powers conferred upon him,
General Harrison might have auassed prince
" fortune and, with similar opportunities,
many brawlmg patriot Of these degenerate
days would have done so. At one time he was
Governor Of Indiana, Chen comprising what's
now Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wiscon-
sln,) cy-ofi,io Superintendent of Indian AZ
fairs, and vested with the power to appoint all
the officers; to lay Off COUNTIES and fix seats
Of justice; and with complete control over
the Legislature. He was, moreover, vested
by a law Of Congress with the complete con-
trol over the public domlin at Vincennes and
IN the Illinois country, for the settlement Of all
ihecIams to land made by The "Frcnoh and
British Governments, or by courts or comman-
ants claiming the rights to make such grants,
The whole Of the land SO granted, or as much
hereof as might appear 10 him to be rcasona-
bic and lust With these great powers in his
hand, President JEFFERSON, in 1904, sent him
a commission constitutin him sole commits
Honer for treating with all the North-western
tribes, whit power to draw for any money
no might think necessary for the accomplish
ment Of the objects committed 10 him.
As soon as louisiana was acquired, lie was
made by law ofCorgress Cat the suggestion
oiMr Jefferson) ex-oficio Governor Of Up
per louisiana" He knew that Mr. Jefferson
had tsnuch at heart 70 convince the inhabit-
ants Of The newly acquired territory Of the
great difference between our Government and
the corrupt one they had so long suffered UNI
der. Under this impression, Gen. II. declined
receiving the fees he was entitled to by law,
although those for Indian licenses alone would
have brought him two or three thousand dol
lars; and refused to purchase any property
although he was tempted by the proprietor Of
three-fourths Of st. Louis and all the adJoin-
ING lands with an undivided moiety for assis-
tnghm to bull lup the town. In the war Of
1911, and that which commenced in 1872, he
received almosta carte blanche, as to appoint
meuis, organization fthe army, expenditures
DC 10 these various situations, and with
these multiplied opportunities, hat wealth
might he not have accumulated; yet, to his
praise belt spoken, he regarded only the good
Of his coun' ry and his own honor, and left this
long career of public service poorer than he CT
teredt--satished with the appreciation OF hi
own conscience, and the legacy Of an untarn.
ished name to bequeath TO his children.
