MORE or PUNCH-lHE LAW OF HUSBAND
AND WIFE.-We have read another batch of
Comic Blackstone Of the laughing punch
He gives new insight into the laws respecting
husband and wife, few samples of which We
give.
To make marriage, three things are re-
quired first, that the parties will marry Sec
ondIy, that they can; thirdly, that they do ;
though to US it seems that if they do. it mat
tiers little whether they will and if they will,
it is little consequence whether they can for
if they do, they do; and if they will they must,
because, where there is will there is way,
and therefore they can if they choose; aad if
they don't it is because they wont, which
brings US to the conclusion that if they do, 1t
is absurd to speculate upon whether they will
or can marry.
A considerable deal of sentiment attaching
to love affair has been smashed by the 9Th
and 7th Of William w., c. IS, explained by
Victoria, C. 22-for one act is always unintel-
ligple until another act is passed to say what
it means. This statue enables pair of ar.
dent lovers to rush to the office of the superin-
tendent register. instead of Gretna Green !;

paid premature visit to the "tomb of all the

A wife cannot execute deed; which is,
perhaps the reason why Shakespeare, who was
a first rate lawyer, made Macbeth do the deed,
which Lady Macbeth would have done so
much better, had not deed done by woman
been void 10 all intents and purposes.
BY the old law. husband might give his
wife moderate correction, blu: it is declared
in black and white that he may net beat her
black and blue, though the civil law allowed
any man on whom a woman had bestowed
her hand to bestow his fists upon her at his
own discretion. The common people who are
much attached to the common law, still exer.
else the privilege Of beating their wives; and
a woman in the lower ranks OF life, if she falls
in love with man, is liable, after marriage, to
be good deal struck by him.-St. Louis

THOMAS HART BENToN's OPINION OF
HENRY CLAY IN 1924.

"The principles which will govern Mr.. Clay's
administration, if elected, are we'll known to the
Nation. They have been displayed upon the floor
Of Congress for the last seventeen years. They
constitute a system OF American policy based on
the agriculture and manufactures of his own Coun.
try, upon interior well as foreign commerce; up
on internal as well as seaboard improvement; upon
the independence of the New World, and close
commercial alliance with Mexico and South Amer
ica Ifit is said that others would pursue the same
system, we answer that the founder of the system
is the natural executor Of his own work--that the
most efficient protector Of American iron, lead,
hemp. wool, and cotton, would he the triumphant
champion of the new Tariff; the safest friend 10
interior commerce would be the Statesman who
has proclaimed the Mississippi be the Of the
Vest; the most jealous promoter Of internal i'm
proyen,ent would be the President who has tri-
umphed over the Presiden, who opposed the con-
structon OF national roads and canals the success
full applicant for treaties with Mexico and South
America, would be the eloquent advocate of their
own independence"

THEODORE FRELINGHUYSEN.-A cor
respondent Of the New York Tribune in
noticing charge against Mr.. Frelinghuy-
sen, of being lederalist, ard opposed to
the war, says, that MIR. F. was at the
time a very young man, and whatever his
opinions might have been in regard to the
expedlency of the war, his conduct evinc-
ed tho same patriotic spirit which was
shown by his father during the Revolu-
ton. Mr.. F. at great personal sacrifice and
expense, raised a volunteer company,
which were held in readiness to defend the
country at a moments warning; and al
though never called into active service
the company under his command were
thoroughly drilled and disciplined. On
two occasions he mustered his forces for
the purpose Of meeting the enemy, but
subsequent events rendered his services
unnecessary.
