Some difference of opinion being entertain
ed as 10 the meaning Of portion Of the law
on the celebration of marriages, adopted at
the last session of the Legislature. We pub
fish, for the satisfaction OF those Interested
the following op,non Of the Attorney General
on the subject.
ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE.
july 5Lh 1876.
The act Of the legislature passed the 10th
Of March 1915 to which you call my atten-
ton is somewhat obscure.
| infer from the first section tbatall Minis
tiers Of the Gospel domiGiliated in the State
are required to obtain a special licence from
the parish Judge where they have their domi-
Gil authorizing them TO celebrate marriages.
This authority though special for the purpose
Of celebrating marriages is yet generally ena-
bling Ministers 10 celebrate them in any part
Of the State.
The second section i think refers to Minis
tiers ofthe Gospel from other States or coun-
tries, and who therefore are not residents of
the parishes in which they apply for a H.
cence to celebrate marriages. It requires
from them a bond TO conform to the laws Of
the State, concerning marriages before OBJ
tanning the special Iicence TO celebrate mar
riages.
The object Of the law it appears to me was
10 require al a guarantee from The clergy, for
the faithful compliance with The. laws Of the
State, concerning the celebration Of maria
ges, something more than the mere fact of ex-
ercising The duties or following the profess
sion of o Minister. And therefore the spe-
cial licence of a parish Judge Of the state to
perform this duty generally, was also required
equally from resident an5 non residenr Min
listers, and from the latter a bond also. But
when the licence is obtained from a parish
Judge ofthe State,I see nothing in the law
10 prevent the Minister frona celebrating a
marriage having obtained the Ordinary licence
tosmarry. Aud therefore do no'@thiok that
The non resident Minister Is required to give
bondin every parish in which he may be cal
led upon 10 celebrate a marriage.
! am with great respect,
Your Obedient Servant,

FLORIDA INDIANs.-The st. Augustine.
News seems anxious that the remaining Indi-
ans in Florida-amongst whom are ninety
warriors-should be removed at once. Col
Washington, who has lately been travelling.
through parts of Florida, states that from the
"signs" he noticed, Indians were following
him f2r days. These " signs," TOO, were nearly
fifty miles from the treaty line, where the
Indians had no right to be. Col. w. also
states that the conduct of the Indians is very
sfmilar to the course they pursued towards
him some four or five months before the war
broke out in 1885. Although he never saw,
one, he feels confident that they keep him.

occasionally j, and if he built up a FIRE it was
Immediately answered by them. He thought
their conduct,t to say the least, bold. A very

SEES with them, and seemed to be making

wHIGs OF EAST AND WEST
RATION ROUGE,

We this:day boldly throw our banner to
the breozd and place thereon the honored
names Of zen. Won. Debuys and the Hon.
Edward Sparrow. We need not say they are
worthy Of your warmest support. Our can
didate for Governor, Gen. Debuys, is a ma
tive Of LoISsiana, a firm and determined citi.
zen, neithdr influenced by the smiles Of fawn-
ing sycopbants or awed by the threats Of enc
mice. In bvery situation he has filed, his
fidelity, pxnctuaIity, perseverance and sys-
tematic ORDER, have proved him to be worthy
ofthe FRUITS reposed in him. The voice of
scandal haf never been raised against him.
With sucA a man we are proud to enter the
field, Whatever our personal regard may be
for Judge johnson, we look upon him, in this
co ates', assthe embodiment Of ~locofoco prin-
ciples, for which we have neither love or CEN
sideration.; Our motto is principles, and not.
men, aad every true wing is bound to adopt
that motto Is his course of conduct in the pre-
misses. TIE idea that many Dhigs in these
parishes Will vote for the democratic candi-
date, 10 prkposterous. In our opinion, for the
Office of Jsldse Of the district, he would re-
ceive the cote of many, but for chief Execu-
tive, the p4rty line is drawn, and we assert it
boldly that no true wing can support for that
high Offices a man whose principles are at ut
ter variande with his own, and whose hand
some compliment to them and their party, in
his speecht at the democratic convention in the
month Of Qctnber Lass, stands like the Inland.
l0riting OH the waA." In supporting the man
they woula prove that he had, in fact, we'll
drawn the: picture uf some of the professors Of
whiggery|
In Geni Sparrow we have a bold and fear
less CHAMPION. He has distinguished him
self in various stations, and for some years
past as State Senator. He is liked and es"
teemcd By all who know him. He possesses
all the qualifications necessary for the Office
TO whichEhe has been nominated. He was
also nomiSated BY reclamation. n

CONSTRUCTION OF ANIMALS.

For further illustration it is obvious that various
as may be the lengths Of the upper parts OF the
vertebral column in the mamnalia, 1t always con-
ssts of the same parts. The giraffe has III its tall
neck the same number of bones with the pig,whlch
scarcely appears to have any neck at all. Man,
again. has no tail /; but the notion of a much rdi-
culed philosopher of the last century is not alto
gether, as it happens, without foundation, for the
bones of a caudal extremity exist in an undevel-
oped state in the coccygiS of the human subject
The limbs of all the vertebrp are. IN like manner,
on one plan, however various they may appear
In the hind leg of horse, for example, the angle
called the hook is the same part which IN us forms

with almost the solitary exception of the bear,
walk, in reality, upon what answers 10 the toes of
a human being. In this and many other quadru
peds, the fore part of the eXtremites is shrunk up
in the bony mass at the bottom Of the back. The
bat, the other hand has these parts largely de-
veloped. The membrane commonly called It's
wing is framed chiefly upon bones, answering pre-
csey to those of the human hand; its extinct
congener the pterodacye, had the same membrane
extended upon the fore finger only, which in that
: animal was prolonged to an extraordinary extent

DESTRUCTION OF WEEDS.

The present month is one ofthe most rapidly grow
ing seasons OF the year. The farmers crops not
only make great progress, but weeds too are ever
vlgiant in thrusting up their heads and asserting
their claims to the ascendency. II they once get
the upper hand for q week, the crop may feel the
injurious influence for the whole season. Let them
be attacked, then, at the very outset
Weeds among root crops and corn are destroyed
with one half and often with one fifth the labor 9TH
erN Use REQUIRED, if taken when about one inch in
height. In week or ten days they will be five or
six inches high, it will cost three or tour times as
much 10 destroy them, and will have exerted a Sc
riousy injurious effect Ont the crop. Hence 1t would
be cheaper to hire man at dollar day, at first,
THAI at half dollar afterwards. BY adopting this
course the last year with ruta bagas, hoeng them
well before The rough ieapes are hdV an inch long,
the work done with great ease and expedition;
and although the land was hard, dry, and not rich,
and so stony as to render broadcast sowing neces-
sary, the whole cost per bushel was only about three
| cents and half.
A large portion of the failures in raising ruta ba-
gas, bees, and other root crops, have resulted from
| the heavy growth of weeds during the early part
of the season, which are not unfrequently suffered
to attain foot in height before they destroyed.
The stunting effect on the crop and the labor OF
wedding are obvious.
| Repeated blowing and narrowing of the ground
for some weeks before sowing roots, to clear it eff
fectuay of weeds, is very economical operation,
and saves much labor in wedding.
An excellent practice for keeping potatoes clean,
where they are planted in drills, is to pass ine-
toothed harrow over the whole surface, just before
they come up, to mellow the surface and destroy
the weeds. When they are up, plough from the
plants then light turrow towards them, thus
leaving the hills or ridges broad. The hoe is only
used for smoothing the surface and destroying what
weeds escape.
1t is we'll known that leaves are the breathing or
cans of plants; and that if plant is kept constant
~ stripped of its leaves, excluded from the air.
during the growing season, the root soon dies
, Hence all kinds of perennial rooted weeds, such as
Canada thistes and miikweeds, are soon killed if
kept smothered beneath by repeated deep blowing.
AS the first appear at the surface, invert the
soil upon them, and the roots soon perish. We have
known many instances, and in every case complete
~ successful where thoroughly performed where
the Canada thistle was destroyed totally by deep
blowing once month through the season, and II
prepared the ground finely for wheat before MD
autumn.-C diivdtor.

STEAMBOAT RACING-A STARTLING
INCIDENT.

We trust that in the trial of the pilot of the
Swallow which is about to take place in New York,
some important evidence will be elected as TO the
practice of Steamboat racing practice that has
already involved the loss of life in many instances
and which is scarcely entitled to milder designa.
ton than murder A correspondent OF the Charles
ton Couner, in abiding 10 the subject, relates a
startling incident. He says he has been watcher
of these horrible steamboat catastrophes for years,
and he does not hesitate to say that nine tennis of
the lives lost by them, have been sacrificed by the
deporable spirit Of racing. lie adds:
81 well remember the Captain Of the, which
exploded at Cincinnati few years ago, but who
was, at the time | speak OF, commanding another
boat, trading from Cincinnati to New Orleans
We were followed by another boat, from whose
chimneys rushed G gantlc columns of smoke, show
ing that she was urging her speed by burning rosin
"a very common device in such cases on the Wes-
tern Rivers. Our captain went foamng and swear
ing through the boat in tremendous excitement
An old lady, cabin passenger, went up to him and
begged him to- go slower. All waited for what he
would say, for all wished TO have made the same
remonstrance, but had been restrained from fool
! ish pride. shall never forget his answer: " lad
am" said he swearing terrible oath, If knew
every soul on board would be blown to HI,
would moi suffer that boat to pass me !" lie did
not suffer it, and his mpious blasphemy was for the
time permitted by his Creator to go UNPUBLISHED. =
! A few months afterwards, however, he commanded
the, and when the terrific explosion Of that
boat took place, caused, was asserted, by the cap
tain leaning his weight against the safety-vave
and declaring he would not lose an inch of steam
he, poor wretch, was blown hundred feet through
the air, and his head forced, up to the shoulders
through the roof OF a shed standing on the wharf!
