A MARRIAGE.-We clip the following
good thing from the local of the Dubuque
Herald.
The Iowa City Press announces the mar
rage, on the 9th inst, in Iowa City, ef
Thomas M. Irish, principal Of the Sd ward
school in this city, to Miss Maggie Ryan,
of Iowa City. John p. Irish, editor of
the Press, is brother of the bridegroom,
and may therefore be permitted to express
himselfe freely. He does it as follows !;
"Another set of bachelor buttons cut
loose by the scissors matrimonial =
Another bachelor gone to that bourne
where the lights no more burn blue
where landlords and ladies and all the
thousand ills that irritate the bachelor
flesh, have their quietus and 60 out like
tallow dips affected by the minus sign ;
where thorns that long have panied tn Q

What quaint grouping of material is
presented in what we denominate society
Two or two score, two hundred or two
thousand are drawn together, not because
4h~y ara nnnpenial each to the other. but
because in their very being is a potent law
loudly demanding fellowship They come
together seeking to satisfy this demand,
but if in the two thousand there be two
who have anything in common save this
one insatiate demand, it is coincidence
worthy of remark and still more notable
is it if such two, in their separate orbits,
are brought SO close as to experience the
magic thrill only produceable by attrition
Of affinitive natures. aaa a.
Doubtless this is well--a wise condition
of our organism, but does it follow that we
are, as the loadstone, governed by single
law, according to which we must repel and
push aside all who lack the perfect element
of congeniality I? Is the divine law, to
love one another, set aside by this organic
law that kforbids the perfect interfow of
thought and sentiment? The social law,
the custom of society, seems to affirm this,
and in pursuance of this custom, since l
find in your being somewhat that will not
blend with mine. Since you have thought,
ideas, pangs, taste, passions that have

The article relating to the Cenotaph is
matter which We know nothing about: it
is published to oblige parties interested.
A reply is in order.
The communication about the Upper
Square and the City Ordinance is inserted
to give our readers an idea of what is 60
ing on. Mr.. BUELL. proposes to remove
the remains Of James MacGregor, Jr., to
the McGregor Park, head of Main street !;
to pay for the ornamentation of the Park
and to erect suitable monument in me-
moriam. He further proposes, or suggests,
that the remains of Alexander McGregor
be deposited in the same park, and that he
will erect the same style of monument to
both of his uncles. We have no feeling
in the matter, but many others have. A
long and cordial acquaintance with ALEX
AMBER endeared him to as, and we have
not forgotten it; but the grave should
bury the past. 1t has been said that a
park or promenade square-a very desira-
bic present to our little city--should not
be made church-yard. This objection
has good point, and we suggest to Mr..
Buell. and our city readers if it would not
be better to erect tablets to both the de-
ceased McGREooRs and leave their remains
to the repose which now enwraps them.
The object of the proposition is to honor
the dead: this can be done without ex-
huming their bodies, and in our opinion
it will be more in accordance with public
taste and city propriety, The subject is

The Atlantic telegraph brings the infor
nation that Bishop Dupont, Of France, is
spoken of as successor to the papal chair
now held by Plus TX. If Bishop Dupont
were to be elected, there would be great
revolution in the system and surroundings
of the papal government. The people of
Italy would then, with one accord, protest
against the temporal power of the pope ov-
or any Italian dominion and the proba-
bility is that such unity Of sentiment
would bring about unity of action, and
at last Rome would again become the cap
ital of Italy.
