The WOMAN WHO MARRIED THE Wo
NAs.-We mentioned yesterday that a
wornou dressed in the disguise OF man,
was arrested for marrying woman nam
ed Mrs. Donuelly. Strange as this mSy
appear, it is true. She has worn the row
seIs, coat, hat, boots, and all, for some
wears past, and has worked at the tin
smith trade in town for long period ''on
her own hooks" carving budget on her
back, with all the utensils necessary tor
meuding old pots and kettles
1t is also stated on very good authority
that she voted the Wing ticket, in the
eighth ward, at the late election. She
has passed under the notorious and unfOr-
,nnate cognomen Of John Smith, and WIS
married BY the Rev. Mr.. Sullweli, minis
| tor eft the North MethodistC ChuTch, some
four weeks since, to Mrs. Donneiiy, a
widowIIady,m' ther 10 chubby cheek boy
| in trowsers. They lived together as man
and wife since then: but Mr.. Smith on
all occasions went to bed with his trow-
sers on.
Mrs Smith, for this was her name BY
marriage, was dissatisfied with the matri'
mOnial state and complained to a frienG
of hers, Mcheal MCGUIRE. Mr.. McGuire'
from the COW ersaiOn, was led to believe
that there was a mystery about the attAlI
and protested that he would ferret j
out.
A day or two subsequently 10 this Mr.
John Smith called at Mes house, and en-
quired "aUy pots or kettles to mendY"--

Painting Houses 1T has long been a
subject ofinquiry as to the best time to
apply paint to the clapboardS Of houses
for durability. Repeated experiments
have been made within twenty FIVE years
which have resulted m the conviction that
paint applied between November and
March will stand more than twice as long
as tina, which is spread in the warmeS'

dental protection, either equal, Just, or
expedient. Ideem il highly improper
for congress, in adopting Tariff, to cons
meet with it in the sums act, clause
for the distribution Of the proceeds
Of the public lands. believe
it to be an unfair aud corrupt mode Of
legiGlatIng. There Is no necessary con
nectiOn between a tariff law and the di1-
tributiOn of the proceeds Of the public
lands. They are both great measures Of
public policy, and each one should be
brought forward and acted upon inde-
pendent Of the other. This is the only
way the impartial judgment Of the cOun.
lry, as to each of these measures, can be
Obtained. In connecting them together
many are induced 10 vote for both who
would be opposed to aud vote against one
or the other, if separated. Any plan
of legislation which may smuggle great
measure through Congress sRainst the
known will Of the majority is corrupt and
antirepublican, and should be discOunte
nanced in all legislative bodies. lnmy
estimation, the proceeds of the public
lands cannot he legally or with propriety
distributed so long as the nation is in
debt, or an econimical administration OF
the Government requires a revenue ex
ceedind 20 per cent. on imports.

As to your eighth inquiry, lbelieve the
recent conduct IF the House OF Repre-
sentatives Of the United States, in re-
ceiving and adopting a resolution con
demning the President without hearing
was an insult to the Nation in the per-
son of its Chief Magistrate, an assault on
civil liberty, as an attempt on the Par'
Of the accuser to try the accused; and
illegal, unprecedented, unjust and OPP
pressivs, towards The President as al
American citizen.

GENTLEMEN:--Your communication
propounding certain interOgatOries, mail
ed At Columbus ON the 20th ultimo, and
directed to Warren, was in Ry absence
from home, mislaid, and reached me on
nv way 10 this place the last OF the month
and have seized the earliest moment to
Veply tcdt. =,
Having bat q few moments leisure, !
shall proceed to respond TO the several
INQUIRIES ia the order they. stand, without
ian, n,introductory remarks. :,
in answer TO the first intaTOgatory, ]
would say, that il any doubts existed up.
on mv mind in regard to the constitution.
atty Of Bank of the United States,
should deem itImy duty to yield them
uU to tho weight Of authority which the
repeateG decisions of theExecutive, Leg
isiative and Judicial departments OF the
Government have established.
To the second-lfIn administering the
Government National Bank was found
to be unnecessary TO a proper discharge
of its duties,and execution of its powers
should not think the operations OF com
merce alone, a constitutional warrant Tor
such an institution.
In reply to the third-l wsS, to some
extent. familiar with the people at thelI
politicaI meetings and discussions during
The campaign Of 1910. By many OF the
monument members Of the Whig party,
Bank of the United States was declared
TO he a fayorite measure Of that party
bv others. in different sectioRS OF th'
country, it was diScIaimed as part!
measnre in equally strong terms. IthlnI
however, il might TRULY be affirmed tha
majority Of that party appeared to b.
n favor Of it, but should not feel wal
rsnted in saying "that The then success
Of the whig party could justly be COnsld
cred a decision Of the people in its ia
vOr."
To the fourth-I believe that reV'
nue. equal to the average annual expend
mres of the Government for the last Il
teen wears might be SO raised, by dI'
eliminating duties upon foreign imports
1ions. as 10 furnish adequate proteCtlC
and encouragement to dOmesuc InousiI
and American manufactures.

two measures referred to, (the tar'tt al
distribution acls,) requiring them to
