ROMANCE IN THE LAW CoURrs.-The Irish
papers report case which was tried last
week in the queens bench, and which brought
to light some incidents OF singularly strange
character. HE facts are thus briefly stated
In the year 1911 Terence Burns the son of
widow IN EnnisSiIlen, ran away from a per.
son in that town to whom he had been appren-
ticed to learn the business OF carpenter, and
enlisted in the 48th regiment for period of
seven years. Shortly afterwards the regiment
was ordered to Sydney, and proceeded to the
Cove Of Cork to embark for that distant colo
ny. Two days after sailing, young woman
OF considerable personal attractions, named
Margaret Lynch, who up to that time had re.
manned concealed in the transport, was dis
covered on board and declared that she had
followed her sweetheart Terence The fact
was made known to the captain Of the ship
and the officers of the regiment, and it was de-
termiucd that that the devotion OF the fair
Peggy, as she was called, should not be unre-
warded,
A ceremony Of marriage between Terence
and Margaret was gone through without de-
lay, in the presence of the colonel of the regi-
ment and the officers, the commander of the
transport officiating in the absence of chap.
lain and the happy pair lived together as man
and wife during the four months which the
voyage occupied. A young officer who was
present at the ceremony, Captain afterwards
MAORI Drut, and who acted on the occasion
as clerk-reading the responses from prayer
boOk-now becomes chief actor in the
strange, evcnttul story. On / e arrival Of the
regiment at Sidney, the frail and iaithless
Peggy deserted Terence and transferred her
allegiance TO the gallant captain, with whom
she lived until her DEATH in the year 1872.
Major Drut survived her only three months.
and died possessed of considerable property
in Australia and three houses in Earl street,
Dublin, the subject of the action He sold
out when the regiment was ordered to India,
some years after their arrival in Sydney. and
continued to reside until his decease in the
colony.
Terence Burns returned to Ireland in 1918.
when his term Of service had expired, and
about the year 1880 married Eliza Mangan
who is now his widow. He died in 1917
leaving four children surviving In the year
1873, Major Druit and Margaret Lynch or
Burns (Which she was in point OF law is still n
question to be decided) were married. Six
children were born to them--two before the
marriage and four atter--ot whom two daugh.
tiers survive and two sons are dead. BY the
Majors will, his children have become possess
ca OF the Australian property, and the two
daughters and their husbands have brought an
electment to recover possession of the three
houses in Earl street, against their fathers
brother, who claims rs heir at.law BY con.
sent, verdict was entered for the defendant.

CHEAP SIrrINGs IN CHURcH.-There is no
doubt that in large cities many families are
practically shut out Of the churches by the
high price Of pews or seats. Free sittngs do
not prove remedy for this trouble. The
pride and independence of Americans frequent.
y prevent them from accepting us Il rift a
privilege for which they would willingly paw
a small sum- They do not wish to be indebted
to anybody. They want only what they can
fairly purchase or hire They are unwilling
to be the subjects of charity, however delicate.
ly or kindly it may be rendered. 1t is now
generally conceded that the only way to reach
that class OF people is to construct the churches
upon such plan that, for a moderate sum,
sittings in them may be obtained We are
glad to see any attempts to reach this end.
We observe with pleasure that the corner
stone of Il church has just been laid in Boston.
which is to be so arranged Us to afford sttinps
at about half the present average price in that
city. This is a movement in the right direc.
ton. The result Of the experiment will be
awaited with interest by the Christian men
in all our cities.

TOUCHING INCIDENT.-We recently heard
remarkable and touching story OF little
boy, the son OF gentleman in an adjoining
county. His age is twelve or thirteen. He is
an interesting, promising lad. One day dur
ing the past winter he failed to rise in the
morning us early as usual. AT length, his
father went into the room where lie lay, and
asked him why he did not get up? He said
it seemed dark yet, and he was waiting for
daylight. His father retired, but the boy did
not make his appearance Tor some time. My
son, why don't You get up" He replied,
Father, is it daylight 2" Eyes, long ago"
"Then, father" the little fellow said, 81 am
blind" And SO it was. His sight was gone.
In Il short time his father took him to Nash
vile, to get the benefit Of the medical profess
sion there, but none Of the physicians could
do anything Tor him, and happily made no ex-
periments on his eyes Some ladies in a tamI-
ly OF his father 5 acquaintance sought to cheer
him in his atiliction and one night proposed to
take him to the opera, that he might hear the
music and singing. lie went and was de-
lighted. In the course Of the performance all
at once he leaped up and threw his arms
around his fathers neck, and screamed with
ecstacy, cob, father! l can see can see p
his sight had instantly returned and since
then he has retained it in full vigor, except
that under excitement there is sometimes a
transient dimness OF vision. The case is one
OF a remarkable and singular character

Political Notes.


The Worcester Daily Times says 1.-The
Spy endeavors to prove that the popular vote
in Illinois was an index of Mr.. Douglas
strength, from the fact that the whole people
voted for treasurer and members OF congress
No sirl the comparative strength Of Lincoln
and Douglas with the people was shown by
the voting for members Of the Illinois house of
representatives. An election for representa-
tivss was held in every district in the state, al
though the Times omits to say so to its read
ers. In the vote for representatives, Mr.. Lin
coin was nearly 5000 ahead of Mr.. Douglas !;
but as the formation of the districts had always
been in the hands of the democrats, their ar
rangement allowed a minority of the people TO
elect majority of the representatives But
even the gerrymandering could not raise this
majority above five. Meanwhile, the popular
current for Mr.. Lincoln, in the representative
districts, increased the vote for the state ticket
and for congressman. The republican MAORI
ty over the Douglas men, in the whole vote
for congressman, was 3487 for state treasur-
er, 1921 and for superintendent Of public
